Folks,
I have TSM server 4.1.4 on a Sun E450 with 4 processors, 2Gb of ram, 21

Yes Bill,
Your point is correct if the pre/post commands are coded in dsm.sys. However is
possible to specify them on the command line and hence through the -opt parameter of a

It depends of what your configuration looks like and what files you are
backing up.
Think of this:
If you are backing up many small files on one SAN based machine and big
files on another machine, it goes without saying that the machine backing up
the bigger files will have better throughp
Hi.
I don't see much return on making those primary disk storagepools
sequential, because once they get tape hardware, you can just "move data" or
migrate the backup data off of the random diskpool volumes. In fact, it's
more of a headache because you'll have to start reclaiming them and whatnot
More than likely, you have a situation where the directories are being bound
to the longest mgmt class you have for archiving in that policy domain.
If you look at the regular backup data the same thing should be occurring.
Directory entries are showing but the data may already be expired. The

This was from an old email of mine. We got info that my last paragraph

When the primary location of a file is in a primary DISK random access
storage pool, then this is "working as designed." (That's the answer we got
from Tivoli) In this case the reclamation task processes 1 file at a time
per transaction. When the primary storage pool is a SEQUENTIAL media (either
SAN (aka LANfree) protocols are good for moving a few huge files. If you
have lots of little files (as is common in W2K) then you are better off with
TCP (what your LAN probably uses).

There's a third way - you can use reclaim. This is similar to move data,
with reconstruct=yes, but is more automated. Just set reclaimstg to your
new storage pool, and reclaim down to 1. You may have to do a few move
datas at the end, to get the tapes that are 0% reclaimable.
