Robert, When you are doing virtual volumes like you are doing the virtual volume on the target server is actually managed as an archive object. Therefore, I would bet that the archive copygroup for that management class is pointing at the diskpool. Also, it is a good practice to put server nodes for virtual volumes into a separate domain so as not to get them confused with other nodes policies. Remember that although it is using an archive copygroup the only attribute it cares about is the destination storage pool. Retention time is irrelevant since it is managed by the source server.
Good luck and let us know how you made out. -- Regards, Mark D.

Hi to all I tried to make a server to server migration here the steps I made: On source Server named SERVER1 1. I define a server SERVER2 (target server) 2. I define a devclass SERVERCLASS with device type SERVER and servername SERVER2 3. I create a stg SERVER1_POOL with devclass SERVERCLASS On target Server named SERVER2 1. I define a server SERVER1 (source server) with nodename POSTBACK 2. I create a nodename of type SERVER named POSTBACK 3. I add this nodename to the STANDARD policy with a copypool destination named I2000_SERVER1 (tape storagepool) 4. Activate the STANDARD policy I update my primary stg on SERVER1 (source server) named primarypool with next stg SERVER1_POOL The migration start I see both on the source and target server activity on the actlog but I got always this error message: 08/10/2005 20:05:23 ANR0520W Transaction failed for session 23881 for node POSTBACK (Windows) - storage pool DISKPOOL is not defined. (SESSION: 23881) Why trying to store on DISKPOOL storage ???? I doubled check my STANDARD policy and my copygroup is I2000_SERVER1 (I activate several times the STANDARD policy and check the active policy to see that I2000_SERVER1 is correct in did !!!! My TSM version on the source server is 5.2.4.0 Windows O.S My TSM version on the target server is 5.2.4.2 AIX-RS/6000 O.S Any suggestion ????? Regards Robert Ouzen e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
