I'm preparing for our annual DR test and this will be the first time recovering with a 3584 library with LTO3 drives. In the past we had STK Powderhorn and ACSLS. We will have identical equipment at our disaster site. When we arrive all the tapes will be pre-loaded into the tape library by the dr site staff. Within the devconfig file there are libraryinventory scsi ltolib statements. Do I delete all of these and just leave one that represents my database backup tape? I plan on issuing the following command: dsmserv restore db dev=3584lto vol=xxxxxx commit=yes. Will this work in conjunction with the devconfig statement?
Do I need to know and update the devconfig file with every element number for every tape? I will have about 150 tapes? How does TSM know where all the other tapes are in the library?
