[ADSM-L] Mixed media in 3494
2010-05-19 17:43:22
We are running TSM 6.1.3.4 on AIX with a 3494 library and 8 TS1120 (E05) tape
drives. I keep thinking there should be a way to do this, but I'm coming up
dry. We are about to implement NDMP for several large filesystems. I was
thinking it would be nice (and cheaper) to use the higher capacity JB tapes
specifically for NDMP, since there will be a lot of large full backups. We
chose to originally go with JA tapes on the theory that we would end up with
less wasted space. My problem is I can't think of a way to segregate the
larger tapes from the smaller ones to enable their use only for NDMP. The only
thing I can think of so far is a new DEVCLASS that only specifies
3592-2,3592-2c and point the storage pool at that device class, but that still
doesn't give me any way of getting the data to only the 3592JB tapes.
Anyone have any ideas, or should I just bite the bullet and just let them mix.
Thanks
