Subject: [ADSM-L] Antwort: [ADSM-L] question about copy activedata and 
pooltype=activedata

Hello Robert,

the stgpool of ppoltype=activedata will keep only  the most actual version of 
client data on it., i.g. this is the active version of any file. there are two 
ways to fill up that "active data pool":
1st, the data is written simultanously during backup process. - if you like 
this, update the primary stgpool parameter activedata=...
2nd, - and this is not mutally exclusive - during server maintenance run 
command "copy activedata..."

if there is noc performance issue, I recommend to to both: define an active 
data destination on the primary pool and(!) run the copy command later on on 
all stgpools the data from last backup sessions may reside.
You need to run recalim stgpool on an actve data pool very often and you should 
define small volumes (i.e. 8GB), if this is a pool of devclass file.

best regards

Hi to all

Anybody use the function poolltype=activedata in the def stg command , and the 
the command copy activedata.

I don’t quiet understand the logic of the process.
If I define a new storage pool with pooltype=activedata , the backup clients on 
it will keep all the versions defined on the copygroup  as on a regular stg 
definition?

This parameter allow just the process of a copy activedata to run correctly ?

Any input will be great

Thanks Robert
