** High Priority ** Hi Steve, Thanks for ur response, I have no idea how much it costs for upgrade drives...but client decided to expand existing tape library. You mean explicitly assign tapes to particular storage pool ?
Thank you. muthyam >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/8/2004 6:14:40 PM >>> Muthyam, Why add slots when you can upgrade your B1As to E1As and double your capacity or H1As and triple it? Second hand 3590 equipment is very cheap now that the 3592 has come out. Anyway. The way I used to do it was to explicitly assign tapes to management classes for onsite use and let the scratches get used for offsite use. That meant I had to monitor the number of empty tapes in my onsite pools and make sure I had enough every day. A few small scripts/macros (eg delete a tape from one pool and define it in another) and it all worked fine. Regards Steve. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/11/2004 8:38:43 >>> ** High Priority ** Greetings ALL, Soon we are going to expand our tape library(3494) with more slots after we run out of space with existing J' cartridges. We have got some(600) new K' cartridges of high capacity to use along with J'cartridges. I have been asked to use K'cartridges for offsite(I know K's more sensitive) and J cartridges for onsite. I have been searching for right method to accomplish this task and seen couple of cases from adsm but different . Please share ur experiences.....since I am going to handle some critical data. We have AIX5.2/DB2/SAP Library:3494 drives:B1A (green sticker on it) thanks on advance. muthyam ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This electronic mail transmission contains information from Joy Mining Machinery which is confidential, and is intended only for the use of the proper addressee.
