Re: [ADSM-L] How to setup dedicated tape drives for storage agent

Saravanan,
You could setup your tape library so
that it is partitioned to use one half for normal backup clients and one
half for your storage agent(s), or, you could setup your TSM server as
a Library Manager and the storage agent(s) as Library Clients. Since
you are using a VTL, the library Manager configuration would work best
for you.
Is there a specific reason you need
1/2 of the total drives just for the storage agent?
Best Regards,

[ADSM-L] How

Dear TSM Folks,
Has anybody tried this approach to enhance tape drive availability ?
Create 64 tape drives in data domain and allocate 32 tape drives only for
TSM server backup ( Lan based backup) and remaining 32 tape drives dedicate
for storage agent
Is this possible to implement this setup ?
I really had concern because storage agent definitely need tape drive
should be defined and path must be online in TSM server before defining
path for storage agent.
Will it work if turn off tape drive path in TSM server and only turn on
corresponding path for storage agent ? I never tried this approach and
has
anybody got real time experience on this setup?
