The Default when defining a primary stgpool is 'collocation group ' this burns a lot of folks, who might not want or need collocation and forget to set it to ' no'
If you do not define collocation groups then the outcome will default to 'per node' in functionality. If you do not need collocation, set it to 'NO' >Upd stg onsite collocate=no John Stephens STORServer Consulting Engineer www.storserver.com Wk: 719-266-8777 ext 7201 STORServer solves your data backup challenges.

TSM 5.5.4.1 On Windows 2003 I have a primary disk storage pool that is 500GB called DISKPOOL and a primary sequential storage pool called ONSITE that is defined as the NEXTSTGPOOL for DISKPOOL. What I am noticing is that as I migrate data from DISKPOOL to ONSITE, the tapes are getting allocated to the ONSITE pool, but are not filling all the way up. I was anticipating that as the migration would kick off, tapes would fill until it reached a full status, then the next tape would get allocated. Collocation is set to group, but there aren't any members in the group. Here is a snippet of the volumes, and I have also attached what the stgpool looks like. 000102L3 OFFSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 1.5 Filling 000103L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 1.6 Filling 000104L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 0.9 Filling 000105L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 402,407.2 100.0 Full 000106L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 38.6 Filling 000107L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 37.2 Filling 000108L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 398,773.8 100.0 Full 000109L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 24.4 Filling 000110L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 0.7 Filling 000111L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 0.6 Filling 000112L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 0.5 Filling 000113L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 762,938.0 0.4 Filling 000114L3 ONSITE LTO3CLASS 387,116.8 100.0 Full ONSITE stgpool: Storage Pool Name: ONSITE Storage Pool Type: Primary Device Class Name: LTO3CLASS Estimated Capacity: 34,216 G Space Trigger Util: Pct Util: 7.2 Pct Migr: 28.0 Pct Logical: 100.0 High Mig Pct: 95 Low Mig Pct: 90 Migration Delay: 0 Migration Continue: Yes Migration Processes: 1 Reclamation Processes: 1 Next Storage Pool: Reclaim Storage Pool: Maximum Size Threshold: No Limit Access: Read/Write Description: primary onstie storage pool Overflow Location: Cache Migrated Files?: Collocate?: Group Reclamation Threshold: 100 Offsite Reclamation Limit: Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed: 50 Number of Scratch Volumes Used: 14 Delay Period for Volume Reuse: 0 Day(s) Migration in Progress?: No Amount Migrated (MB): 0.00 Elapsed Migration Time (seconds): 0 Reclamation in Progress?: No Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN Last Update Date/Time: 04/09/2010 07:09:46 Storage Pool Data Format: Native Copy Storage Pool(s): Active Data Pool(s): Continue Copy on Error?: Yes CRC Data: No Reclamation Type: Threshold Overwrite Data when Deleted:
