Re: [ADSM-L] Using pools during restore

Hi,

Sadly there is no normal way to tell tsm what stg pool to use during restore. 
Tbh the automatic way seems to be bugged (as it happely seems to use slow 
storage pools, lan based with higher volumes to be mounted over fast lanfree 
capable pools).

The documented work around is to update all volumes you dont want to select for 
restores as offsite. 

In our case we made a daily admin sched to update all full/filling copypool 
tapes to offsite. 

Kind regards,
Karel

We have 2 disaster sites: long distance site with async DD replication and 
short distance site with NFS copy pool over Ethernet written in parallel with 
VTL.  Actually we are avoiding to "keep all eggs in one pocket" - I mean rely 
only on Data Domain.

Instead of letting your DataDomain replicate your primary storage pool to your 
offsite location, you instead have two copy pools, one of which is off-site?

I can see some advantages to using a copy storage pool on-site as well as the 
primary storage pool, but why not use the DDR to replicate the copy storage 
pool to off-site instead of defining the second storage pool to TSM? DDRs are 
good at replication, and doing it this way would simplify your TSM processes 
(and, presumably, scripts).
