Hi Bill,

Could it be possible that you defined a very low "maximum size
threshold" on your disk pool, that would force data migration to tape ?
My 2 cents ...
Cheers.

Subject: Backups bypassing disk pool


     I have some clients (Windows 2000) that are backing up straight to
my tapepool instead of the disk pool.  My server is AIX 5.1.6.2.  and
most of the windows clients are running at 5.1.5.9.  The clients are
associated to a management class that's default management class should
cause the backups to go to the disk storage pool.  There is a management
class within the domain that directs the backups to the tape pool, but I
do not have it included in the dsm.opt file, in fact I do not have any
management class defined, meaning that it should go to the default.  Has
anyone experienced this problem?  Also, I tried an incremental of the c
drive with the disk storage pool empty and it's estimated capacity is 38
gb and it still called for a tape.  The capacity of the c drive of the
client is under 1.5 gb.

Thanks,
Bill Sherrill
