Saravanan,

You could setup your tape library so that it is partitioned to use one
half for normal backup clients and one half for your storage agent(s), or,
you could setup your TSM server as a Library Manager and the storage
agent(s) as Library Clients.  Since you are using a VTL, the library
Manager configuration would work best for you.

Is there a specific reason you need 1/2 of the total drives just for the
storage agent?


Best Regards,

Subject:        [ADSM-L] How to setup dedicated tape drives for storage
agent
Sent by:        "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU>



Dear TSM Folks,

Has anybody tried this approach to enhance tape drive availability ?

Create 64 tape drives in data domain and allocate 32 tape drives only for
TSM server backup ( Lan based backup) and remaining 32 tape drives
dedicate
for storage agent

Is this possible to implement this setup ?

I really had concern because storage agent definitely need tape drive
should be defined and path must be online in TSM server before defining
path for storage agent.

Will it work if turn off tape drive path in TSM server and only turn on
corresponding path for storage agent ? I never tried this approach and has
anybody got real time experience on this setup?
