virtual vol going to wrong primary pool on target server
TSMers, I am doing a disaster recovery simulation and have one issue I can't seem to resolve so I would appreciate some help from you all. As with many TSM issues this gets fairly complex so I hope don't confuse you all with the details below. I have 3 tsm servers, all win2k sp2, tsm v4.1.3.0. Their names are: w2ktape1(production server) w2ktape2(production server) w2ktape3(test server) My dr test is to use the w2ktape2 copypool tapes to rebuild w2ktape2 on w2ktape3 as w2ktape3. The dr has been completed up to the point where I need to recover the primary tapepool for w2ktape2. Since w2ktape3 has no tape library I am going to use virtual volume support so that when I restore the w2ktape2 primary tapepool to the new primary diskpool on w2ktape3 it migrates to a primary diskpool on w2ktape1 which will then migrate to a primary tapepool on w2ktape1. I have completed all the definitions to accomplish the virtual vol support between w2ktape3 and w2ktape1 and ran a prepare command to test it. prepare planp=w2ktape2x.recovery.plan devc=w2ktape1_dr Much to my surprise it wrote the prepare plan directly to a tape rather than the diskpool. I then forced a migration from the w2ktape3 primary diskpool which also went directly to tape rather than the diskpool on w2ktape1. The original w2ktape2 server already has virt vol support to w2ktape1 so from w2ktape3 I tried the above prepare command with that device class and it did go to the primary diskpool on w2ktape1. However, it is my production diskpool and I do now want to commingle production data with my dr data. Now I've looked over all the defs shown below and can't see why it is bypassing the primary diskpool on w2ktape1 and going directly to tape on w2ktape1. I think I have included all the relevant definitions. Can any of you see why my defs aren't doing what I wanted? w2ktape3 defs: q devc w2ktape1_dr f=d Device Class Name: W2KTAPE1_DR Device Access Strategy: Sequential Storage Pool Count: 0 Device Type: SERVER Format: Est/Max Capacity (MB): 3,072.0 Mount Limit: 1 Mount Wait (min): Mount Retention (min): 2 Label Prefix: ADSM Drive Letter: Library: Directory: Server Name: W2KTAPE1_DR Retry Period: 10 Retry Interval: 120 Twosided: q serv w2ktape1_dr f=d Server Name: W2KTAPE1_DR Comm.

Re: virtual vol going to wrong primary pool on target server
Well folks I've answered my own question. The maxsize for the target devclass was 3g as was the maxsize for the diskpool on the target server. Changed the diskpool on the target diskpool to 5g and now is working correctly.
