Thanks. Setting read-only will force the writing to the new AFD device.

But what about the old device? It will not get "cleaned". And won't networker 
think that the savesets are on two volumes?

Hi Sid

If you change the 'Enabled' status of the AFT devices in your old
appliance to 'Service' you can read from them but they will not be
written to, allowing you to edit your relevant Staging policy and select
'stage all save sets' to write them out to volumes in the policy's
destination pool

Hello,

I have two disk-based backup appliances. Both are set as advanced file system devices. Both are being used to backup and both are in the same pool. I want to retire one of them. I thought that nsrstage would be the

way to do it. Unfortunately, since they are AFT devies, the one I want

to retire is never full, so anytime it is mounted it can get written to.

In fact, when I tell it to stage a save set, it ends up writing it to itself. I can't see how to force it to write to the volume on the other AFT device. Is there a way, or is there some other way to "migrate" the data from the old disk to the new disk?

Help?
Thanks,
/ Sid /
