T. M. If the DR site is under VM, that just attached the devices (6xx-6xx) as your own define3d standalone devices. Toy will have to define new 6XX addresses with the LIBRARY NO.

Ioia Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 9:00 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: 3592 standalone drives at DR Site Hi all, We just recently started using a 3494 ATL with 3592 drives in our data center. We are also creating our DR tapes using the tape library and ejecting the tapes to send to off-site storage. At our DR site, we do not have a 3494 ATL tape library but we have stand- alone 3592 drives. I'm having trouble deciding how to best set up our DR recovery process. Can I maintain the same addresses, for example 600-603 and just change the LIBRARY YES to LIBRARY NO and MTL NO to MTL YES in the device definitions using HCD? I have a feeling I'm going to run into trouble with SMS by doing this. Do I have to create a new MTL definition, storage classes, storage groups, etc. Initially, we just want to restore the system at the DR site using the 3592 tape drives. Longer term, as we utilize the 3494 more and more, we will want to be able to run jobs that think they have a tape library available. Ideally and conceptually, what I would like to do, is operate in ATL mode at our data center and in MTL mode at the DR site, with the least amount of reconfiguration as possible. I have no way of testing this before going to the DR site. All of our 3592 drives are in the 3494, no standalone drives. I thought I could define one of the 3592 as part of an MTL, but it wouldn't let me bring it on-line because the system knows that it is inside the ATL Any ideas? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html This e-mail message and any attachments transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of its authorized recipient(s).
