How to copypool large number of tapes
2005-09-23 08:20:24
I have a client that does monthly backups of each node using a <nodename>_M
naming standard. This data goes into a LONGTERM_3584
storage pool and is then copypool'd into LONGTERM_VAULT. The problem is that
not all of these tapes were copypool'd. And there are
so many of them that they can not all fit into th library (3583). The client
wants to have these tapes copypool'd. I've been
rotating a few tapes per day into the library and doing a BA STG. Some days
this command only runs for a few minutes and quits
without copying any data. How can I verify that the data on the primary pool
tapes is indead on the copypool? All these primary
tapes are ACC=UNAVAIL to keep them from being requested to be mounted. When I
issue the BA STG command, I get screen fulls of the
ANR1229W message for each tape that is UNAVAILABLE...including the ones that
were in the library and had the BA STG command run
against them.
If I compare the occupancy of the LONGTERM_3584 with LONGTERM_VAULT, I come up
wiht around a 12TB difference.
How can I rotate these tapes into the library and guarantee that the data is
copypool'd?
