Thanks Clark,

I've found the same in the Technical Guide for version 5.1.

What comes into play with migration is the NEXT STORAGE POOL parameter:

NEXTstgpool
Specifies a primary storage pool to which files are migrated. This parameter
is optional. The next storage pool must be a primary storage pool.

On the next storage pool you define, migration will not trigger copies to
the copypool because it does not fit the criteria:

COPYSTGpools
Specifies the names of copy storage pools where copies of files being stored
in the primary storage pool, during a client backup, archive or HSM stores,
are also simultaneously written to all listed copy storage pools.

When you are migrating, you are not doing a backup, archive, or HSM
store...........

After you migration , you can schedule a backup of that pool:

BACKUP STGPOOL (PRIMARYPOOL) (COPYPOOL)

Hi Fellows,

The environment:

TSM Server 5.1.9.5, AIX 4.3.3 ML 9
Two 3580 LTO1 SCSI tape drives (manual)
Both drives defined on the same library.

A small costumer used to backup their data directly to tape storage pools,
primary and copy, simultaneously coping the data to both storage pools.
Until that point nothing weird, just define the copystg option on the
primary and everything works like a charm. The strange bahavior appeared
when, for performance reasons, they decided to backup their data to disk and
than migrate it to tape, the migration to tape works fine, but only goes to
one of the storage pools (the primary). Since, nothing has changed on the
tape storage pools what the hell is going on? It seems like some limitation
for the migration process, but it should work.  At least this is what the
manuals show.
I've checked the migprocess option to ensure that there was only one
process, but nothing changed.
The backup stg command works fine.
Am I missing something?

Atenciosamente,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
