A small script to issue the appropriate "MOVE DATA" commands may be easier to control than auto migration.
Foreach stgpool where device_class_name=DISK and stgpool_type=PRIMARY foreach volume where pct_utilized > 50 and stgpool_name=<$stgpool> move data <$volume_name> to <next_stgpool> example: (on unix, grep for MOVE, munge out the extra spaces and send thru a dsmadmc command.) select 'MOVE DATA ', volume_name as "--------------------------------------------------------", - 'STGPOOL=', nextstgpool, 'WAIT=YES' from volumes, stgpools - where stgpools.stgpool_name=volumes.stgpool_name and stgpools.stgpool_name in - (select stgpool_name from volumes - where volume_name in - (select volume_name - from volumes where pct_utilized>50 and stgpool_name in - (select stgpool_name from stgpools where pooltype='PRIMARY' and devclass='DISK') - ) - ) output: Unnamed[1] -------------------------------------------------------- Unnamed[3] NEXTSTGPOOL Unnamed[5] ---------- -------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------------ ---------- MOVE DATA /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/sbkup00.dsm STGPOOL= LTOPOOL WAIT=YES MOVE DATA /tsmdata1/datavol3 STGPOOL= LTOPOOL WAIT=YES MOVE DATA /usr/local/tsm/datavol01.dsm STGPOOL= LTOPOOL WAIT=YES MOVE DATA /usr/local/tsm/datavol02.dsm STGPOOL= LTOPOOL WAIT=YES > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Aberle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 1:11 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Migration/storage pool backup ?'s > > > Hello, > > I am experiencing some problems with migration and storage pool backups. My situation is that I have a small disk storage pool that is primarily used for oracle archive logs that archive at any time during the day. During the hours of 6-12, we perform offsite copies of the tape and disk storage pools. > During this time, no tape drives are available for client backups so I need to make sure that the disk storage pool is completely migrated to tape prior to starting the offsite copies. Here is what I do:
