Very well written !!! May I slightly improve it: 1. Mark diskpool volumes read-only. Migrate disk pools and mark all primary volumes read-only (or only ones which do not have copypool backups). Check out all read-only tapes. 2. Like your step 1 but take only one db backup. The rest as described in

IBM SAN Data Gateway supports IBM 3575. You can attach both 3575s to same SDG. For 3583 there is SDG module with 4 LVD ports which is field installable in the library (as an upgrade). It is cheaper than standalone product and does not occupy additional space. Both standalone and module versions ar

You will need multiple control paths to the library only if you want to partition it. Each TSM server will see its partition as standalone library with number of drives and slots as assigned to that partition. Detailed description is available in 3584 Planning and Operator Guide, Chapter 4 "Advanc

Until you get to 4.2 or higher AND the apar is fixed, you could use the NTBACKUP command to save the system state (as Microsoft calls it) to a flat file. Run this as a preschedulecmd. We had success with recoveries of systems that were pre 4.2 at one site. Then your recovery becomes, Load 2K, Rest

Mark, I fully agree with your opinion. TSM *can* work with single drive but it would be ugly. Same waste of resources as assignment to 5k project a project manager with 300k salary (and you can always send 1 kg parcel with a truck). I said it is possible but will never say I recommend it. Zlatko

Workable copy pools is *possible*, provided all primary storage pool is on disk; that is, all backups go to disk pool, which is sufficiently large to hold all the versions for retention... and never does migration! I've had to do this (and more) for a capital equipment-constrained customer; 12 l

Outstanding suggestion, Bill; that's exactly what we did for a customer with all Win2K servers at 12 locations around the world. We even did validated both (a) domain controller (with Active Directory), and (b) Exchange 5.5 server recovery using the NTbackup "trick" for System State backups -- I

Gentille, No big deal, on 4.1 or later; you set up one TSM server as the library manager, so all tape mounts go thru that server. Then, the shared drives are connected to both servers, so when a drive is allocated to a given server, the other one won't access... see the Admin. Guide (and 3584 d

Look at management classes. There is an option MIGREQUIRESBkup which defaults to Yes. Thus before migration normal backup takes place and there ought to be no problem to create backupset. If you want only migrated data then EXPort Node FILEData=SPacemanaged is an answer as already pointed. Zlatko

Interesting approach, Zlatko; I agree, this should work -- if one is very serious about restore SLA (and simulating Unix filespace-level collocation -- using node-level collocation with your suggestion); a simpler approach could accomplish the same effects: cap drive-letter size at 100 or 250 GB
