To do this you will need to write a script that checks for the completion of
one before the next starts.  There is a sample script included with the
server that does some of this and will be a good template for you.  The name
of the file with the samples is scripts.smp.  This is meant to be run as a
macro to load all of them, but I think it better to find the ones you want
to load.

You should probably also do the backup stg disk copy, backup stg tape copy
then do the migration rather than the way you have it.

If you are really into simple, consider a third party product that automates
this and much more.  Look at our website (below) for details about
STORServer Manager.

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:

At 5:00 -

I perform an "upd stg archivepool hi=0" to force migrate the storage pool to
tape.

At 6:00 -

upd stg archivepool hi=100 (stop migration)
backup stg pools offsitepools (for all storage pools)
upd stg archivepool hi=75 (set pool to migrate at 75%)



What is happening, is the migration at 5:00 does not stop at 6:00, thus I
have backup storage pools and migration running at the same time.

How can I migrate the disk storage pool, make it wait until complete, then
start the backup of storage pools?

Thanks for the help,

Jonathan
