Hi there, I have a question about which devclass to use for a storagepool that is exclusively used as DIRMC destination.
The server originally was set up with a large enough DIRPOOL of type DISK. Later, DIRPOOL was reduced in size, and a DIRFILE stgpool was added that consists of FILE volumes. Clients still back up to DIRPOOL, but that pool is migrated daily to DIRFILE. Is this sort of setup still necessary with TSM 5.3 on AIX 5.2? I remember DIRFILE being set up because of performance problems with offsite volume reclamation (mainly due to sequential volumes being able to handle many files in one large chunk). Also, ADSM.QuickFacts says that sequential volumes have advantages in a database restoral situation. Would it be a good idea to return to a large DIRPOOL of type DISK and eliminate DIRFILE, on TSM 5.3 and AIX 5.2? -- Jurjen Oskam "E-mail has just erupted like a weed, and instead of considering what to say when they write, people now just let thoughts drool out onto the screen." - R.
