Hi, you can use the VMMC and VMCTLMC options to use a differing management class. Please have a look at the Docs (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSERB6_8.1.8/ve.inst/r_ve_mount_tape.html). You definitively need to store your control files on a non tape storage. We ran into this trap once and it slowed our backup down extremely.

I have a requirement now though to back up some VM's and templates directly to physical tape. I'm not 100% sure how to achieve this. Do I create a new data mover node for this? How do I backup to a different policy domain?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated Kind regards, Chris -- IMPORTANT: This information is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
