Re: determining which files will be copied to copy stgpool

Rich,
        If you have a file that is too large to fit in your disk pool it
will go to the secondary storage pool.  Your tape pool.  This happens to
us with some DB2 and E-Mail backups.  Both backups send single files
that are huge.  It is also important to look at clients that are
compressing the files before they send them.  TSM does not know how well
they compress so it will try to see if there is enough space for the
uncompressed file (and pre-allocate if there is or send it to tape if
there isn't).
        If you really want to know what is being copied from primary
tape to copypool tape.
1) mark the copypool tapes that are filling as FULL or read only
2) run your tape to tape process
3) Query contents of the 1 tape
