Hello, Before I open an PMR, I thought I would put this out to see if anyone else is having a similar issue.
TSM servers are 7.1.1.100 on AIX TSM client is 6.4.0.1 on AIX I upgraded my TSM servers from 6.4.0.1 to 7.1.1.100 last week. Since then I've noticed that restores demand copypool tapes instead of tapes in the primary pool. Below is a snippet of the server log from yesterday afternoon during a restore. I have two copypools, one local and the other on a remote TSM server. You'll notice in the log that the restore begins with a primary pool tape, A00397, but immediately closes that volume and requests a remote copypool tape. This request is refused because I brought the remote TSM server down prior to starting the restore. TSM again opens then immediately closes primary tape A00397 and then opens a local copypool tape, ACC308L6. This continues until the restore completes. It appears that TSM will only use the primary pool tape if it has exhausted all other sources. 01/19/15 13:04:00 ANR0406I Session 5646 started for node SCOTTY (AIX) (Tcp/Ip scotty.austincc.edu(58986)).
