Migrations for NAS backups

[reddy]

Hi,
I have one more question on NAS backups...
How can we set up migrations for NAS backups from diskpool to tape...? Because I saw it doesn't support Himig and Lomig parameters.

Thanks again for any help.

NDMP support options were enhanced in TSM v5.4. If you would like to backup your NAS to disk then you would set up a NAS to TSM server configuration. The backup will be sent over the LAN to the TSM server. The TSM server would manage the data in native dataformat which supports migrations.
The pools defined with an NDMP dataformat do not support migrations or reclaims.

Thanks for your response KB..but can we make NAS storage pools to NATIVE and do migration? If not is there any other way to migrate the NAS data with tsm server 5.3.4...?

No, even when you upgrade to 5.4 the NAS pools will stay the way they are. You cannot change the data format of a storage pool - refer to the admin reference for update stgpool command.
