It is the basic philosophy of TSM to have only one copy of a file in a
PRIMARY STORAGE POOL. With TSM 5.x you can simultaneously write to a
PRIMARY STORAGE POOL and COPY STORAGE POOL (see HELP DEFINE STGPOOL).

Subject: Duel tape write to LTO's

Hello all,

We are backing our server from disk to tape on a LTO 3584 Library drives
4 drives (1-4)

We just added a 2nd library LTO (same 3584) Is it possible to backup to
the 2nd library LTO simultaneously.

In other words were backing up to tape 1 on Lib_LTO and would like to
backup to Tape 2 on the new library at the same time. We want Duel tape
backup and don't want to use copy groups if we don't have to.

3584 Lib_LTO A has 4 drives (1-4)
3584 Rmt_LTO B has 4 drives (5-8)


TSM version 5.2.3.1
AIX 5.2

Thanks in advance for any help!
