Have you thought about using the 'move
nodedata' command (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmaixn.doc/anrarf53246.htm)
to pre-stage your data to a disk storagepool - this might be of some help
depending upon the amount of data/size of your disk storagepool etc.

| [ADSM-L] Pre-fetching a restore? |
|
Hi folks,
I'm working on our internal "late night admin guide," and one
of the
things I'm thinking of is how can I get TSM prepared to do a restore.
Here's what I mean: let's say I know that there is going to be some
filesystem maintenance on a client. Since we've been burned by that
kind of operation in the past, I'd like TSM to prefetch the
appropriate data from tape and have it ready to go (on disk) for a
restore.
Archives would do the trick except that uses the client, potentially
during business hours.
Backupsets look like they might work but they're kind of rigid... can
a backupset be restored followed by restoring the latest
incrementals? So I could create a backupset on Friday before the
procedure on Saturday, and then be able to restore the incremental we
took before beginning the disk operation after that?
Am I out of my tree? Do people do this?
Thanks,
--Jim
