Hi all,
I have some work due to start on a TSM implementation utilising a 3494 library. This implementation has copy pool stoarage set up, but no volumes have ever been checked out from the library !. I have not supported ADSM for sometime , but traditionally I used the following for off-site storage. Checking out tapes. 1. q volume * access=offsite location="<Description>" where stgpool=<Name of copy stgpool> whereaccess=readwrite,readonly, wherestatus=filling,full 2. Check out all the above volumes 3. Update the volumes to mark them offsite. Checking in tapes. 4. q vol stgpool=<Name of Copy Storage Pool> access=offsite status=empty 5. Check volumes into the library using the checkin libv command. 6. Update the from step 4 to read/write to return the volumes to scratch status. upd vol <volume name > access=readwrite I have been looking through the TSM reference and am considering using the move media command. I have a few questions about the move media command ? 1. Do you need to issue update vol acc=offsite after the move media command has been issued ? 2. Can the move media be used with 3494 libraries ? Is the following a suitable solution. Check out volumes. a) move media * stgpool=copystgpool wherestatus=full,filling access=readwrite,readonly ovflocation="Offsite Vault" cmd="update vol &vol acc=offsite" cmdfile=/tmp/offsitevols.mac Check in volumes. a) q media * stgpool=copystgpool wherestatus=empty cmd="checkin libv 3494lib &vol status=private" cmdfile=/tmp/updvolsaftercheckin.mac b) move media * stgpool=copystpool wherestatus=empty cmd="update vol &vol acc=readwrite" cmdfile=/tmp/checkin.mac c) Run /tmp/checkin.mac to check in vols. d) Run /tmp/updvolsaftercheckin.mac Any comments would be appreciated. Thx Jason
