Wanda, Yes, the Web interface would work, you would just have to pay attention to which screen you were on, since all four would look alike. I think it is a lot of key clicks for each tape mount, too, since the Web interface isn't meant to be a regular operator's interface, and doesn't have sp

Here are my thoughts: Since this is a DR instance, all TSM data should be read-only. With that said, you can restore the production TSM instance four times, so that you'll essentially have 4 identical TSM instances running. Each TSM instance should have its own tape library. Mark all copy vo

Wanda, This is Tom Wright from Gresham and Nick is correct. Our Clareti Storage Director can manage the 4 small libraries off of the back-end and present one virtual TS3500 (3584) to TSM. That would solve your problem but would require our product to be in the mix. If that is of interest or if

Thanks John - I like your idea of the script to do the mounts! It also reminds me, those puppies have a web interface. We could do the moves with that, as well, if I can talk them into setting up 4 IP connections. If not, I'll crank up my perl skills... W On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 12:06 AM, John D

Hello, you can create 4 copypools instead of one. In this case you could use the 4 libraries in parallel. Regards, Fran - Mensaje original De: Wanda Prather Para: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Enviado: viernes, 10 de julio, 2009 3:33:56 Asunto: Desperation, DR, and four TS3100 libraries..

Wanda, My solution isn't much better, but here goes: 1) Like you said, define 1 manual library, 1 device class, with 4 LTO4 drives, and get them all working and defined to the DR environment. 2) You will be using the IBM drives, of course, so I am presuming the IBM drivers will be installed b

Off the top of my head, Wanda, I wonder if Gresham's library virtualization software can make those four T3100s look like one larger library? This, of course, would be the responsibility of the DR site, not your client, assuming the client's contract with the DR site is well written Just a t
