Hi All,
I need your input for the best solution possible, any thoughts will be much appreciated, so here's some background info:
2 x Storage Management Server for Linux/x86_64 - Version 7, Release 1, Level 9.100 installed (Spectrum Protect Site01 and Site02).
1 x Tape Library at Site02 with 3 x LTO7 tape drives available for use.
Site01 replicates diskpool1 to Site02 diskpool1 and then Site02 runs protect stgpool to the tape library situated at Site02.
So we have three copies of data (one copy at site01 on disk, one copy at site02 on disk and one copy at site02 on tape).
Freaking awesome and easy to manage!
Current config:
TSM: Site01 > q stg DISKPOOL1 f=d
TSM: Site02 > q stg DISKPOOL1 f=d
TSM: Site01 > q co * *LY f=d
TSM: Site01 > q stg DISKPOOL1
As you can see above, diskpool1 Pct Util is at 80.9
Easiest would be to define stgpooldir in diskpool1, problem solved.
Here's the problem, the client does not want to buy more disks.
They want the MONTHLY and YEARLY backups on TAPE, not on DISK, so in effect the risk will be they will only have one copy.
So my questions:
1. Should I create a new primary stgpool at Site01 (diskpool2) and then update the MONTHLY and YEARLY copygroup to the new stgpool (copy destination = diskpool2)?
2. Will all the MONTHLY and YEARLY backup data be migrated from diskpool1 to diskpool2?
3. From there, what will be the best solution/configuration to get the MONTHLY and YEARLY stgpool data to Site02 on TAPE?
Thanks
