Data from disk storage pools is restored before data from sequential
storage pools. Otherwise there is no function within TSM to predicate the
specific volume sequence.

Re: restore: sequence of volumes






Thanks for the answer, but ...

I know:

For a restore the TSM server sorts the files/directories by volumes and
position on the volumes.

I want to know:

Then the restore begins. And now, which volume is processing first, next,
... ?
What are the rules for this ?

Andreas.

Andreas -

The simple answer is that, yes, that is the sequence, where realistic.
TSM wants to recreate the directory structure first, which is most
readily done in Unix, but will be done one way or the other (as in
creating temporary surrogates, to get actual directory info later, when
encountered in tapes, per Restore Order processing). And TSM is no
fool, in seeking to restore files from the most efficient source, which
is to say the highest level in the storage pool hierarchy, when the
data is available there. It's not something you configure: it's part of
the philosophy of the product.
