Edward, set up multiple policy domains on your target server. Each Policy
domain has a node (type=server) that is used for the virtual volumes by
the source server. The default MC in each policy domain can then point to
different hierarchies such that you have different physical tapes use for
the virtual volumes of the multiple copy storage pools of the source
server. On the source server, you will have multiple server definitions
with the different nodes to be used for virtual volumes. Then you will
have multiple device classes each using a different server defined on the
source server.

Hope this helps.

Subject
Virtual volumes and multiple diskpools on target server






Just to be sure I am not missing something obvious:

With server-to-server configured, is it true that you can only have one
diskpool or tapepool on the remote server as the destination for the
virtual volumes?

I have several diskpools on my source server that get backed up to local
copypools and then migrated to appropriate tapepools.  The local
copypool tapes are then sent offsite.  I wanted to create a remote
copypool for each local diskpool and backup the diskpools to the
appropriate remote copypool.

The source server has the device class created with device type server.
Even if there was more than one device class, they would still point to
the same target server.

The target server has the source node defined which belongs to a
specific domain which has its archive copy group pointing to a specific
diskpool or tapepool as its copy destination.   Even if I had multiple
diskpools or tapepools to select from on the target server, a node can
only be defined in one domain and there is no way to specify a different
management class to have unique copy destinations.

Both TSM Servers are 5.2 running on AIX 5.2.

Thanks,
Ed
