co-locate by filespace

I have not tested this so am wondering out loud how communications work. If 'a' server is set up to co-locate by filespace how does that affect the backup if at all. All data here goes to disk pool first so I am guessing nothing changes there and don't think there are any things I need to consider.

You can export a node's data directly from one TSM server instance to another one if you use the TOSERVER parameter in the EXPORT NODE command. That being said, depending on your retention policies, it might be simpler - and faster - to simply take the clients that back up to TSM server 1, and poi

If the the second file is physically present on your system, just try to add it manually and reboot. If it is not, double check your qla installation. It must include both the driver and the API lib.
