Re: [ADSM-L] Export / import nodes with shared library

Otto,
- You should be able to just update the libvol owner on the library
manager to the new server.
- You may also consider using server-server export which transfers data
through the ethernet from the source to target server.  This process
allows for concurrent export/import and reduces the chance of mixing up
the sequence of export tape volumes. To do this you need to set up
server-server communications betweeen the source and target servers.
See the help page for export node "EXPORT NODE -- Directly to Another
Server" for the export syntax.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Export / import nodes with shared library

Hi TSM'ers,

We splitted our TSM Server up to five instances (four library clients,
one library manager, 3494)

To move the nodes to new instances we export/import them on tape

(TSM0 is library manager, TSM1-TSM4 are library clients)

(1) on instance TSM1: Export node to volume(s)
                      volhist entries are made
                      owner ist TSM1

(2) on instance TSM2: import node from those volumes
                        now owner is TSM2
                        there were no entries made into volhist

(3) after succesful import on instance TSM1: del volhist type=export ...
                                               entries in volhist of
TSM1 are removed


But we got an error on TSM0 (Library manager):
ANR9999D smlshare.c(4724): ThreadId <21> Invalid owner(TSM1) attempting
to delete volume J20010.
....

Is this the normal behavior ?

Is the only way to get the volumes back to scratch an AUDIT LIBRARY on
the library clients ?

Is this the recommended way to do that ?

Where is the recommended way documented ?

TIA !

Otto
