When you define or update your stgpool use the COPYSTGpools--=----copypoolname option. For the syntax just type help update stgpool at the command line.
The documentation says it works with both random and sequential access methods, but i have never been able to get it to work on random. cory *****E-Mail Confidentiality Notice***** This message (including any attachments) contains information intended for a specific individual(s) and purpose that may be privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure pursuant to applicable law.

Is anyone doing this ? Can you please point me to the manual / command to set this up. I am running TSM 5.2.6 (AIX) with 5.2 and 5.3 clients (AIX, Windows and HP-UX). Thanks (and hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year). Ralph
