Use the chcekout libvolume command to checkout the generation 2 tapes then check them back in with status=pri, then use the define volumes command to define them into the storage pool, just be carefull to use the exact name that shows up in the libvolume command. then you need to update the storage pool to max scrach to 0  make the gen 1 tapes in the gen 2 storagepool readonly and move the data to the same pool with move data command.

This labels with A001* are LTO1 tapes! How can I assign LTO2 tapes to a specific StoragePoll? I have lot of Scratch volumes! If you could explain me in a short how to do that!

Thank You in advance!

Mladen

how do you look at the volumes, if you see them in q libvol, that is to
bee expected, as this shows you all volumes that tsm has access in the
library regardless of there storagepool. but if you see them in your q vol
command then you might have a problem, one solution to this is to define
the LTO gen 2 volumes manually to the storage pool and not have it take
scratch volumes (chance Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed to 0 instead of
50), if you do that you can bee 100% sure that tsm wont take generation 1
tapes to that pool.

[ADSM-L] LTO2 device class with LTO1 tapes!






Hi there,

I have 3584 library with mixed drives (4xLTO1 and 2xLTO2) and mixed
tapes. Recently I was created copy pool based on LTO2 tapes. >

Storage Pool Name: OFFSITECOPY
              Storage Pool Type: Copy

Everything working fine but if I look at volumes I can see that I have
mixed LTO1 and LTO2 tapes. So my question is what I did wrong? Please if
somebody can answer me I would be very thankful!

Thank's in advance
