Re: how to backup to a second backuppool?

REGister Node DOmain=<domain2>
DEFine DOMain <domain2>
DEFine POlicyset <domain2>
DEFine MGmtclass <domain2>
DEFine COpygroup <domain2> DESTination=<backuppool2>

This is the easiest way. You can define just new management class(es)
within the current domain, define corresponding copygroups and read
carefully what to specify in dsm.opt !!!
And it is NOT necessary to split the library to have two storage pools.
Just fill it up with scratch volumes and whenever a storage pool needs one
it will grab it marking it private. You can have the library filled with
volumes for the first pool and several minutes later loaded with volumes
only for the second pool. Yes, yes, you will never do it but you can. In
real life you can have for example today 10 volumes for backuppool, 8
volumes for backuppool2 and 22 scratch. And tomorrow they can be 12/22/6.
So you get something like dynamic splitting.

Subject:        how to backup to a second backuppool?

I have two virtual libraries in my automated tape library
(SpectraLogic 64000/Gator).

I can define two libraries, two tape device classes, etc., etc., in TSM
4.1.3

I can even define two "backuppool" disk spools, one for each library.
What I can't seem to figure out is how to get data backed up to the
second backuppool, call it backuppool2. Right now, all data gets
backed up to backuppool1.

Where is it that I can determine which backuppool I want my nodes
backed up to? In other words, I want some nodes to go to backuppool1,
and the rest to go to backuppool2.

Thanks.
