Hi,
Is there any metadata of the exports stored in the TSM database?
If I want to export eg two clients A and B to the same volume (eg a tape vol001
that has enough space of course), can I specify twice the command:
export node A filedata=backupactive devclass=<tape> VOL=vol001
export node B filedata=backupactive devclass=<tape> VOL=vol001
Will the second export of node B overwrite the first export of node A or does
the TSM server knows that there is already an export written on it at the
beginning of the tape and will the export of node B be written after the export
of node A?
Or must I specify
export node A,B filedata=backupactive devclass=<tape> VOL=vol001
to have both nodes exported to the same tape?
And what if want to run an import of node B only for a restore from the tape
that contains the export of node A too with the command:
import node B filedata=backupactive devclass=<tape> VOL=vol001
Will it go directly to the point on the tape where the export of B has been
written or will it read the entire tape untill TSM finds the beginning of the
export of server B?
best regards,
Kurt Beyers
