There's also an old redbook on server-to-server setup that I found more
helpful than the admin guide.  Go to www.redbooks.ibm.com and search for:
SG24-5244.

Hi Gordon,

Your Client Server has a (SERVER TYPE) account on the DR Server that's
part of a specific domain, which has a default management class
specifying where the data goes. Another point of concern might be the
size of the virtual volume, which is specified when you create the
device class. If the volume size is larger than your diskpool size, the
data will go straight to tape!

Hope this helps!

Subject: Virtual Volumes & Storage Pools

Can anyone tell me how you define what storage pools a SOURCE server
uses on a TARGET server when doing SERVER to SERVER operations? I've
tried looking for the answer in the TSM Admin Guide and searching this
list but to no avail.

Currently we have a Primary TSM server and a Backup TSM server, with all
backup data on our Primary server being copied across to our Backup
server for DR purposes. On the Primary server we have a SERVER type
DEVCLASS called OFFSITE which points to our Backup server (as per TSM
Admin guide). On the Backup server we have two storage-pools, one
diskpool called ARCH-S2S which flows onto a TAPEPOOL called TAPE-S2S.

My question is, how does our the Backup server know that any data sent
from the Primary server needs to go to a specific pool? The reason I ask
is the TSM consultants we had in a while ago set all this up for us but
now we are having problems as all data sent from our Primary server is
going straight to the TAPE-S2S instead of our ARCH-S2S storagepool like
it was initially. We've looked through all the configuration settings,
both on our Primary and Backup TSM servers but can't find anything which
defines this relationhip.

Any helpful pointers on where to look?

Thanks in advance!

Gordon
