I've done it before with remote disk.
TSM doesn't care whether your copy pool is disk or tape, and TSM doesn't know 
how far away it is.
Your recovery procedures don't change.

Subject: [ADSM-L] DRM and file based copy storage group

Can the copy group of a primary file based storage pool point to a file based 
copy storage pool.  Is so, how does DRM handle the failure of the TSM server or 
the primary storage pool.  If any one is doing this please give me
as much insight as you can.   I would like to set a copy stgpool on a remote
disk array for DRM and not sure if this is possible.
