Hi Douglas

Yes, you can use random disk devices for copy pool storage. You will 
however need to define a sequential file device class to use for your copy 
storage pool.

Subject
Copy storage pools (Disk)??






Currently data flow in our TSM environment is as such:

node=>DISKPOOL=>TAPEPOOL

I would like to acquire a disk array (iSCSI/NAS/FC)
and create a copy storage pool with random access
media (disk) so that data flow iwould be like this:

node=>DISKPOOL=>TAPEPOOL
              =>JBOD

Is this possible  or must copy storage pools be
sequential access.

Any ideas? opinions? Experiences?   --- Thanks
