Robert,

The only other thing I can think of right now is to have you start a
migration and let it run until it fails.  Then send me a copy of the
activity log for both the source and the target servers that cover that
time period.  I will look through it and see if I can see anything in it.

I will try to get back to you today on it, but it might be tomorrow
before I can respond.

Robert,

You have a naming problem.  Your storage pool name is I2000_server1, but your 
copy destination is sending it to a storage pool called I2000_postback!

Update your copydestination in the archive copygroup of the default management 
class for the standard domain and I think that will fix it.

Robert,

You are right it looks like the destination is correct.  I am assuming the 
error message you got was on the target server, correct?  What is the output of:

q stg f=d

I am wondering if I2000_server1 has its "nest storage pool" set to migrate to diskpool.  If so then 
if I2000_server1 has no space or has a "max size threshold" set than it might be trying to send it 
directly to the "next storage pool" of diskpool.  Another thing to look at is:

q node postback t=s f=d

In particular lets look at the "Maximum Mount Points Allowed" and make sure it 
is 1 or more.

This is a little strange but I am sure we can figure it out.

Robert,

Could you please post the output of the following commands:

q mg standard active
q co standard active t=a f=d

Then I can see a little more clearly what might be going on.

Hi Mark

First thanks for the response ......

I didn't mention before but I thought too and I made an archive copy
group  with destination I2000_SERVER1 , active archive policy correct
too

Make no sense

I did before an export node from the source server to the target
server with domain=standard and toserver=server2, he wrote correctly
on a scratch tape under I2000_SERVER1

Regards

Robert

Robert,

When you are doing virtual volumes like you are doing the virtual volume on the 
target server is actually managed as an archive object.
Therefore, I would bet that the archive copygroup for that management class is 
pointing at the diskpool.  Also, it is a good practice to put server nodes for 
virtual volumes into a separate domain so as not to get them confused with 
other nodes policies.  Remember that although it is using an archive copygroup 
the only attribute it cares about is the destination storage pool.  Retention 
time is irrelevant since it is managed by the source server.

Good luck and let us know how you made out.

Hi to all

I tried to make a server to server migration here the steps I made:

 On source Server named SERVER1
1. I define a server SERVER2 (target server)  2. I define a devclass
SERVERCLASS with device type SERVER and servername SERVER2  3. I
create a stg SERVER1_POOL with devclass SERVERCLASS

 On target Server named SERVER2
1.  I define a server SERVER1 (source server) with nodename POSTBACK 2.
I create a nodename of type SERVER named POSTBACK 3.  I add this
nodename to the STANDARD policy with a copypool destination named
I2000_SERVER1 (tape storagepool) 4.  Activate the STANDARD policy

I update my primary stg on SERVER1 (source server) named primarypool
with next stg SERVER1_POOL

The migration start I see both on the source and target server activity on the 
actlog but I got always this error message:

08/10/2005 20:05:23  ANR0520W Transaction failed for session 23881 for node
                 POSTBACK (Windows) - storage pool DISKPOOL is not
                 defined. (SESSION: 23881)

Why trying to store on DISKPOOL storage ???? I doubled check my STANDARD policy 
and my copygroup is I2000_SERVER1 (I activate several times the STANDARD policy 
and check the active policy to see that I2000_SERVER1 is correct in did !!!!

My TSM version on the source server is 5.2.4.0 Windows      O.S
My TSM version on the target server  is 5.2.4.2 AIX-RS/6000  O.S

Any suggestion ?????
