Actually, it is 2 different device classes that define the libraries. Management classes only apply to Primary Storage Pools at least in 4.2 and below. I have not played with 5.1 yet with the feature to backup to tape and copy pool at the same time.
The device class is what is specified in the storage pool. The devices in a library are assigned to the device class. Paul D.

You have to create a different management class for the 2nd library, and create the copy pool using that management class. It even works with dissimilar libraries/drives. In one instance, I've seen a 3575 for local copies, and a 3581 (LTO Stacker) for the copy pool. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today is the tomorrow of yesterday.

We will have two identical libraries connected via SAN to the TSM server. The second library will be in a different room than the TSM server and the first library. I would like to have the primary storage pool on the first library and the copy storage pools on the second library. Is it possible to have a backup of a primary storage pool residing in library A to a copy storage pool residing in library B? I guess it has to be possible as the two libraries are identical but I want to be sure. Thanks, Kurt
