Moving source-data to a bigger drive

[obiwan2]

Hi guys,

a simple (?) problem....

We have two HP EVA systems. On one system is a 10TB disk defined, on the other system a 20TB disk.
The 10TB disk is backed-up by TSM. Now...the free space is too small and we ant to move all data to the bigger disk !

Simple question: How can we prevent TSM from performing a new Full Backup ?

Hope you have a simple solution...
Thanks

Hubert

If you use storage tools that come with your storage device to copy/replicate the data to the new storage at the block level, and mount that new volume to the OS on the same mount point, it "should" appear as unchanged.

Thank you, marclant !

I will discuss this with our storage-colleagues.
