Hi Wanda,
On my way to work this morning I have been thinking about your situation and I
think I have an idea how you can get it to work. But only for restore not for
backup... :)
I haven't try this yet and probably don't have time to test it for you. But I
think this will work.
Define 4 SCSI L
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...

Thanks Christian, and everyone, for the suggestions.
Even if I can convince TSM to work with the tapes spread across the 4
libraries, I think I still lose too much throughput.
If I want to restore multiple clients/filespaces in parallel, I think we
could easily get into the situation that client
It is like you are trying to re-invent ACSLS. Our library was basically two
libraries managed by ACSLS. To TSM ACSLS was the library.

Wanda,
We actually tried 2 TS3100s in a test recovery. It didn't go very well.
If you attempt it.
The Gresham product should be able to present 1 library image to TSM. I
don't know at what cost.
Without Gresham:
Make sure your incremental DB backups are directed to disk or someplace

Thanks - that's what I suspected!

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
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,
What about setting up a TSM Library Manager and have him control the library
and drives for a TSM Library Client doing all the restores.

Well the consensus is to change the serial number of the replaced drive,
which I did. However, since I had already rebooted the library owning
server, to discover the new serial number, I rebooted it again and it
seems to access the replaced drive, just fine.
However (isn't there always a "howev

Wanda,
I read all the replies already, and the Gresham idea looks the most
promising.
You will be telling your customer that their "DR vendor" is retarded, right?

Been there, done that!

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
Michael,
I don't see how a TSM Library Manager would help in this case.
Perhaps you could explain further. It seems like to me the TSM Library
Manager would still have to view the four TS3100 libraries as separate
libraries, and then so would the client. And that is the rub; four
separate lib
