Hi,
I would like to do a comparison between the lto4 media and TS1130 (3592 generation 3) media. Currently we used TS1120 (3592 generation 2) media, but are looking at upgrading. Baring in mind the difference in cost etc, one test I would like to carry out is to install at loan lto4 and compare compression ratios.
Can anyone suggest a good way of doing this in TSM. I was thinking of creating another copy storagepool and having a second copy of production data on lto4 test tapes, but would like to first take a direct copy of a volume from a storage group. I know I could move the data, but do not want to start moving production data.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
