(NOTE: I am resending this as I got ADSM rejected message last night
and have not seen any responses.)
I have TSM server 5.2.3.0 on AIX connected to 3584 library with
(8) LTO1 drives and newly added (4) LTO2 drives. Drives are FC.
I have one logical library and two devclasses, LTO and LTO2.
Working o.k. Have new clients using LTO2 tapes. LTO1 tapes
will use LTO2 drives if LTO1 drives are full. Working fine.
Now, I want to "move" some old clients to LTO2 tapes. I have
looked at Redbooks and don't seem to cover exactly all the details
and what I specifically want to do. I have TWO large clients that
have their own disk pool and tape stgpools.
MSEDISK --> MSETAPE --> MSECOPY
Is the order. Each tape for each day will normally expire
without reclaimation in less than one week. I don't want
to take the time to actually "copy" the data to LTO2 tapes.
Is what I have below the simple way?
1. Create new Stgpools MSETAPE2 and MSECOPY2 with
devclass = LTO2.
2. Update so new path is:
MSEDISK --> MSETAPE2 --> MSECOPY2
3. Update DRM to handle new stgpools.
Then when next backup runs, the tapes used are LTO2
tapes. If I have to do a restore, it will use whichever devclass
tape the data is on - very important! After a week, the old LTO1
tapes will all be expired and I can delete the old tape stgpools,
which will have no data anymore.
Is that too simple and I missed something?
Thanks,
