Hi everyone, I would just like to pick every ones brains.
I have the following environment Source Environment. TSM 3.1 running on AIX 4.2.1 IBM 3494 Library with IBM3590 Drives. Server Names Server1, Server2, Server3, Server4, Server5 TSM 4.1 StorageTek L700 SCSI attached. Fibre-attached 9840 drives. Server Names NewServer1, NewServer2, NewServer3, NewServer4, NewServer5. I am in the process of migrating the source systems to the new environment. For the data restores, I have single 3590 drive with a stacker. The method I have used so far, is recover the Source ADSM databases and restore the data for each of the new servers by editing the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files. This has been working ok so far because all the new servers are being tested. However, as soon as the first of the New Servers go live, I can no longer restore the database. I will need to export and import the client data from the source servers. I have the following questions on my mind. What is the best method of importing the data and using the new StorageTek library ? Should I create a new domain purely using the 9840 library and register the original client to the new domain ? Will the data then be stored on the new library ? When the servers go live:- What is the best way of backing up the data to the new Library ? Do I amend the device class for the current storage pools ? Do I create a new 9840 primary storage pool and alter the current policy ? Ideally, I would like to have all data stored on the 9840. Any ideas , thought would be appreciated Many thanks Jason
