I'd say #1 is the best way, since you stay in full control. #2 will tie up the "MIGPROC" number of drives in the old library, making control harder. If you can keep both type of libraries for a while, you can just point the new data to the 3494's, wait for expiration to clean up most of what is

Does TSM see the volumes as offsite? If so, you need to recall them onsite (your MOVE DRM command to bring them back from the vault). Also see appends about REUSEDELAY. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm one cookie away from happy." - Snoopy (Charles Schulz)

We had similar messages when we tried to checkin/label the Extended Length tapes in a drive that didn't have the upgrade installed. Check your tapes, and see if there is a "J" or a "K" on the label. If it's a "K" you need to have the upgraded drives (I believe there's a sticker saying "2X" that

The drive can physically tell what type of cartridge is in it. The Extended Length upgrade adds the ability to read/write the longer tapes, but doesn't take away any other capabilities. If you look at the label end of a 3590 tape, there are two plastic inserts below the label (if the gear drive

Re: Bare Metal Restore for NT

You can't overwrite an active registry. Two options: 1. Step 1 should be to install NT and TSM to non-standard directories. That way you can restore the registry. 2. Restore the c:\adsm.sys directory tree, then boot with an NTFS aware diskette, and copy the directory files back to c:\winnt\sy

Larry, No problems, but rather than rename the old pools, you can just use new names for the new pools and point the nextpool settings to the new pools (unless there are a number of management classes pointing straight to the tape pools). I'd then set the reclaimation threshold for the old pools

For 3494's, you can use the mtilb command to count scratch tapes, or insert tapes - whatever class you want. I've got a shared library - 4 TSM servers, one 3494, and I run this script daily: echo "Scratch tapes on RTP1" > /home/nickpc/data/scratchcount mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qC -s012E | wc -l >> /

Jeff, One thing to show your NT Admins is just how much overhead NTFS has. The way I've done this before is to copy a drive, either locally or over the network. If you take one of the drives with a lot of small files, can copy it, the performance will drop as the copy goes on. The more files y
