Shortly we will be migrating to the EMC DL700 virtual tape library and we would like suggestions as to what our upgrade path may be.
Currently our server is on AIX with SSA drives containing 3 disk pools. One is for databasees and is colocated. The second os non DB and is colocated, the third is not colocated.
Each day we migrate the diskpools to onsite tapepools. Then we copy the onsite tape pools and create an offsite copy.
When we migrate to the DL700, ultimately we would like to have all of our onsite tape tapes copied to the DL700 and stored on disk.
Can anyone provide us with a suggested method and setup to perform this process.
We have over 250 nodes so we wouldn't be able to copy this all at once either.
Any Help you can provide would help
Thanks Dana
