Hi All,

We are in the implementation phase of the Disaster Recovery Manager
(DRM).
Our environment is that we are running ADSM Server Version 3.1.1.5 on
AIX
4.2 machine with STK Library 9710 attached to the server utilizing the
ACSLS Interface software Version 5.2.  The library contains 10 DLT 4000
drives.

My questions are as follows:

   MOVE DRMEDIA command is used to send the storage pool backup volumes
   offsite.  Are we required to execute CHECKOUT LIBVOL command to check
   these volumes out of the library or MOVE DRMEDIA *
WHERESTATE=MOUNTABLE
   will eject all the tapes in the COPYPOOL out of the library?
   What if we change the state directly from MOUNTABLE to VAULT, what
will
   be the volume checkout and ejection procedure?
   IBM has told us that ADSM Version 3.x is not capable of checking out
   multiple volumes out of the STK library.  Whenever there are two or
more
   volumes in the COPYPOOL, we have to manually checkout each of them
   individually.  Has anyone implemented a workaround? Again, we are
   running ACSLS Version 5.2 with STK 9710 library and the ADSM server
   version is 3.1.1.5.

Any comments in the aforementioned questions will be appreciated.

Regards,
Naveed.
