Thank you!... in fact, you are correct - that is the right track to solution.
i would like to share the commands i used to far and, listed below a burning question -in case you have some suggestions- great! - thank you for feedback
In order to see my NFS on my Data Domain, i needed to use the "Directory=" definition to pin-pint the NFS share on my Data Domain 9300 -else, it will write to the default share which is the local TSM installation or where the root admin login- so, the fixing command is:
adsm> update devclass db19300 Directory=/dd19300/tsmahoc01/db19300/
I run an "export" test from TSM and i am writing to the new directory -which it is an NFS mount created on a Data Domain 9300-
Here it is the burning question: I created the Device Class "DB19300" using CLI:
adsm> DEFINE DEVCLASS DB19300 DEVTYPE=FILE MAXCAPACITY=100G MOUNTLIMIT=100
ANR2203I Device class DB19300 defined.
Then, i defined the storage pool "DB19300" using TSM GUI.
here the CLI outputs:
adsm> query devclass db19300
Device Device Storage Device Format Est/Max Mount
Class Access Pool Type Capacity Limit
Name Strategy Count (MB)
--------- ---------- ------- --------- ------ -------- ------
DB19300 Sequential 1 FILE DRIVE 102,400. 0 100

adsm> query stgpool db19300

Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Migr Mig Mig Storage
Pct Pct Pool
----------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ---- --- -----------
DB19300 DB19300 0.0 M 0.0 100.0 90 70
My goal is to be able to use the "Export" feature to Export Client's backed up data to the new StgPool "DB19300" (located on an NFS on a new Data Domain 9300).
Please notice the "Est/Max Capacity (MB)" for the "DB19300" set to the "MAXCAPACITY=100G" (or 102,400.0 MB) i entered.
--> If i "export" a node with 850GigaBytes of data, will TSM create "additional" volume.EXP files until all client's backed up data is exported? in this example, the NFS mount will ended up having 8 "<xyz-number123+n>.exp" files plus the last "<xyz-number123+n>.EXP" file being used to about 50% equals 850GigaBytes. There will be a total of 9 Export files. right?
Is my DevClass "DB19300" and StgPool "DB19300" setup to do this Export (automatically)?
Or, do i need to define the DevClass with "MAXCAPACITY= 900G"? to accommodate this client. I would expect (the prefer choice) TSM create "automatically" additional Export files until all client's backed up is exported (complete the export - just like backups create new .BFS volume files)
Thank you very much for your response.

For reference, please find attached a compared of the Storage Pool and Device Class of a currently in use BD1 to the new "DB19300" i created here.
