Joni,

We have a small disk pool for the directories (200M is big for us), and the
general data goes in a data pool (200G that I wish could be bigger), and
a separate disk pool for Exchange backups (60G holds 4 exchange databases).

We put all these to one tapepool, and do a single copypoool that is also on
tape.
The copypool goes off site.

We have several NT type domains and back them all up to the same pools.
Our TSM severs are Win2K, most clients are Win2K, NT, 2003 and a few AIX.

Does that help?

Hello Everyone!

I am currently creating a new TSM environment and I would like to create a
disk storage pool for the directories and then make offsite copies to tape.
I will have approximately 5 domains and I was wondering if it would be
wrong to put all 5 server domain directories in the disk pool?  Should they
be seperate?  I had sent out an earlier question concering directory
management classes, but I haven't received any responses.  Any help would
be appreciated concerning this topic!
