I should clarify my answer. There is no automated way to send initial backups to a primary storage pool (DISKPOOL, for example) *and* multiple different copy storage pools. You can modify a primary storage pool definition to concurrently write to 1 primary and 1 copy storage pool concurrently:
upd stg diskpool copystg=offsitetapepool As to whether future release will allow automated writing to multiple copy storage pools: probably not. Why? I have seen dozens of TSM environment; not a single one of them used multiple copy storage pools for the same data. (This is not to say they don't exist; I have just have never seen one.) Why should Tivoli invest coding and debugging time to such a feature when they have their plates full with more pressing matters? -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional Tivoli Storage Management Solutions 2005 IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert (CATE) AIX Office 262.521.5627 >-----Original Message----- >From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of Timothy Hughes >Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 8:45 AM >To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU >Subject: Re: Dual write to multiple copy storage pools > >Hi Mark, > >Do you know if it will be possible to do this later TSM versions? > >"Stapleton, Mark" wrote: > >> From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >> Behalf Of Jon Evans >> >can I do the same with my management class and specify in the backup >> >copy group that the initial backup goes to two storage pools >> >concurrently? >> >> Nope. >> >> -- >> Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional >> Tivoli Storage Management Solutions 2005 >> IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert (CATE) AIX >> Office 262.521.5627 >> >> >
