Right I get it. I assume you are wanting to do this so you can offsite your data electronically rather than manually? I know this is going a bit OT, but what are your options as far as moving TSM2 offsite to where the library is? does it have many/any clients that need it where it is? Also, wha

Tsm2 server is onsite. Connectivity to 1120 drives is fibre channel This strange config grew because I have just finished converting all our netbackup environment to tsm. This offsite library, lib2, is the old netbackup library, and server tsm2 is an old netbackup server. Yep, odd setup, I ju

Lee OK, so TSM2 and lib2 are both offsite? You're implying that but it's not 100% clear. I'm not particularly familliar with TS1120's are these SCSI or FC attach? What connectivity is available between the 2 sites? Thanks Steven On 14 December 2011 17:59, Lee, Gary D. wrote: > To clarify. >

If you have two 3494s defined to one (aix) machine, they will have different lmcp and you would use the different lmcps in the path definitions for the two tsm libraries. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Lee, Gary D. Sent: Wedne

To clarify. Two tsm servers tsm1 and tsm2. Two librarys lib1 and lib2 Tsm1 is connected to lib1 directly. Tsm2 is connected to lib2. Lib2 is actually in our offsite location, and I would like to create a connection from tsm1 to lib2 and get our current offsite data moved into it. Then, I can

Hello Daniel Yes, you are 100% right. I suppose I was coming from the position that Gary already had most of it setup for a TSM library managing config, as the existing instances appear to be managing a library each. As is often the case, there are multiple ways to achieve the desired results.

Hi Steven A TSM library manager isnt mandatory in a 3494 library environment. If the libraries are partitioned, he can just connect his two hosts to each library and assign access through the 3494 CU. Which is simplest is just a matter of how the existing environment looks. If the libraries ar

Gary A library manager is mandatory to coordinate library access. Than can be a standalone instance or the existing instance that has exclusive access (the latter being the easier option with an environment of this size) Thanks Steven On 14 December 2011 14:22, Lee, Gary D. wrote: > I have t
