Anyone who knows more, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... I've been testing various things on AIX 5.1 (not 5.2, yet...). With 5.1 came JFS2, and with that, the AIX buffer cache has changed a little. "minperm" and "maxperm" relate mainly to JFS. The new parameter "maxclient" relates to (I beli

IBM recommends that we don't put any sort of labels on our LTO tapes because it would rub off and cause problems with the tape drives. What do other people do if you need some sort of proprietary label on them, per a company requirement? This may not be the right forum to ask this question, bu

Hi, William. It's pretty easy, pretty much the same thing as storage pools. You define dbvol and logvol and logcopy and dbcopy onto the new storage, then del dbvol, del logv, del logcopy, and del dbcopy the original volumes. When you do the deletes, TSM automagically moves the data over. :) OH,

That almost gives me what I want. But it counts drives once its apprearance in the drives table and once for each occurance in the paths table (each drive appears multiples times in paths because they are defines to storage agents). So with all 8 dirves empty, it gives me 48 instead of 8. David
