Hi Anders,

Look at http://www.tsmmanager.com/backupsets.htm and scroll down to 
Appendix A

There you can find a way to store backupsets together on physical tapes, I 
would reccomend to use another TSM Server (or instance) for storing the 
virtual volumes (read about the snags you vill run into if you use the 
same server). Be aware in this configuration you need TSM DB backups to 
secure the backupsets. Also in this configuration you will not be able to 
restore backupsets without a TSM Server.

This is not a simple way, but as far as I know, this is the only way to 
consolidate backupsets on physical volumes.

Re: Generate backupset with more than one node on one volume?






Stephen,

how would that make it possible to have a backupset containing more than 1 

node? 

It would only make all primary(or copy) storage pool data gather on one 
volume during migration/backup, which could not be read without having 
access to the TSM database. Or am I missing something here?

Best Regards

Do not specify COLLOCATION on the tape storage pool.  Then all node will 
get put on one tape, or as few tapes as possible.

Hi,

I want to create backupsets with several nodes to as few volumes as
possible, the deviceclass in this case it LTO2.
Is that possible at all?

My task is to create one complete set of data on 50 nodes and a lot of the
nodes is just about a couple of gigs, and spoil them with one LTO2 volume
per node doesn't make sense.
Or is there another way to fulfil this task?
One of the requirements is that it should not be dependent of the TSM
database.




Med vänlig hälsning
