TSM 5.1.5 on OS/390, using 3494 ATL. I just rebuilt my offsite copy pool from scratch; the 'backup stgpool' operation used many more volumes than I expected. It appears that it just copied each volume in the primary tape pool to a new volume in the copy storage pool. I had expected a little more sophistication and some attempt to use 100% of the output volumes. Have I interpreted what I saw happening correctly? Does TSM really just copy the volumes or is there something more sinister here?
