I've not tested the product, but Gresham Storage (www.gresham-storage.com)
sells something called Clareti Backup Virtualization which is supposed to
offer the look and feel of single large virtual library with multiple
smaller physical libraries on the backend.
I've also considered (but not implemented) a 1 devclass/1 stgpool model so
if a pool grows large, it can be easily moved, or if the DR site has
multiple libraries that are too small for all the offsite volumes, they
could be distributed.
I'm not sure if the 1 class/1 library is so deeply imbeded in the code that
it can't be changed, but I'd vote for having the capability.

Subject: [ADSM-L] working with 2 libraries
Hi list,
I have two automated libraries (LIBLTO1: 3580 L18 / 3 drives and LIBLTO2:
3582 L23 / 2 drives) connected to the TSM Server. LIBLTO2 has just been
connected. At this point, there are 5 STG POOLS pointing to the devclass
that corresponds to LIBLTO1.
I have some questions:
1- Is there any way to configure TSM to "see" both libraries as one?
2- If not, can I change a existing stg pool and point it to the new
devclass? I checked the update command and there is no such option.....or
should I simply create new stg pools and point them to the new devclass?
Any help is appreciated.
Mario
