Rick,

You might want to check your Maximum Size Threshold on your disk storage
pools.  If files are larger than the max, they will go directly to your
primary sequential pool and bypass the disk pool (and therefore not get
to the copy tape pool until the tape to tape runs).

Subject: determining which files will be copied to copy stgpool


We've got a strange problem.  We run the normal tsm processes . . . .
- run backup stgpool for  primary disk pool to copy tape pool
- run migration
- run backup stgpool of the primary tape pool to the copy tape pool

For some reason after we do this, we start to get lots of files that are
in
the primary tape pool but not in the copy pool.  It's as if someone is
doing backups straight into the primary tape pool.  We've check, this
is not the problem.

So . . .I'm trying to figure out what these files are and where they
come
from.

The "backup stgpool <primarytapepool> <copytapepool> preview=yes"  cmd
tells
me how much data needs to be copies and the tape vols, but I also want
the
nodes
and the files for the nodes that need copied.

Q)   How can you tell the nodes and files that need to be copied from a
primary tape
pool to a copy tape pool?

Thanks

Rick
