Nicholas,

If all your client needs to do is get the data from point A to B, I
wouldn't even use TSM.  Tell your Windows engineers to use the built in
robocopy utility and go direct. This is how we migrated 4TB of user data
from old to new fileservers.  Not only do you avoid wasting TSM
resources, you also only send the data over the network instead of
twice.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Best way to use TSM to move 2Tb of data

Hello All,

I have a client that needs to move a 2Tb volume on their Windows file
server. Their TSM sever is also on Windows w/TSM v5.3.4. What is the
fastest/best  way to accomplish this. We tested an archive but it only
got
340Gb overnight. They don't have enough disk based pool space to land it
there so we will have to use tape. I suggest kicking up the
resourceutilization parameter on the client to enable multiple sessions
but
I am hoping you guys/gals can teach me something.

Thanks for all your help!!



Nicholas
