Hi Keith, thanks for more details.

Let me see if I fully understand . . . .

Bloomington
  TSM-a
    local clients backup to disk pool
    disk pool migrates to TSM-b/VV at Indianapolis
      ==> primary tape pool is on TSM-b/VV at Indianapolis
    vv server - contains primary pool from TSM-b

Indianapolis
  TSM-b
    local clients backup to disk pool
    disk pool migrates to TSM-a/VV at Bloomington
      ==> primary tape pool is on TSM-a/VV at Bloomington
    vv server - contains promary pool from TSM-a

Summary:
  - All clients backup to local TSM server to disk pool.
  - Disk pool gets MIGRATED to VV primary pool at other site.
  - There is NO copy pool at either site.


Is this correct?

Rick
