Hi All

 

I have 3 copy pools on my TSM server.

One for normal type retention, one for monthly, and one for yearly.

 

The though process behind it was that similar type retention data i.e
monthly schedules are moved to monthly copy pools etc.

 

Am iwrong in doing this. 

If I keep them all in one copy poll, is this better, and are there
performance/amount of tapes used issues that I will experience.

 

I find my offsite's create process are taking forever. I use a TS3310
Tape Library with 6 LTO3 FC drives, on TSm 5.5.4 on AIX 5.3 IBMp570
LPAR.

We have also not split FC tape data and SAN traffic and both are over
the same HBA.

 

Thanks in advance.
