Have you tried to lower the number of processes to 3 or increase it to 5
to see how they end up picking volumes?  If it goes away in 3 and you
get two CDLPOOL output volumes, that could mean a silly limitation
somebody left in.  However, if it's always 1, whether 2, 3, or 9,
there's still something misprogrammed -- just somethingdifferent.

If it goes away with 3, workaround discovered and contact IBM to yell
at.

I'm assuming it's reliably picking 3 and 1.

Many thanks!

| Oh, my head hurts.
| Haven't seen this before.
|
| TSM server AIX 5.5.2 with no disk pool.
| Clients back up to a VTL (which is an EMC CDL)
| The VTL migrates to an LTO tape pool.
|
| So the data flow is
| clients => CDLPOOL => TAPEPOOL
|
| CDLPOOL has MIGPROCESS=4
|
| MIGRATE STGPOOL CDLPOOL  kicks of 4 migration processes, as one would
| expect.
|
| Except 3 of the processes choose a CDLPOOL volume as the input volume,
and
| an LTO2 TAPEPOOL volume as the output volume.
| The 4th process chooses a CDLPOOL volume as the input volume, AND
chooses
| a
| CDLPOOL volume as the OUTPUT volume.
|
| WHAT circumstance causes migration to choose an output volume in the
SAME
| POOL as the input volume?
