Re: TSM - CPF414D

You're on target for most of it.

I'd like to know what the save contention would have been.  They're 
different model's of tape drives, on different cards.

I do not believe that we have any migration thresholds set up.

We don't even have any tape storage pools set up.  The only tape pool is a 
"copy storage pool".

Sequential Access Storage Pools 
No objects found 

TSM gurus think we have everything set up wrong.  And maybe we do.
Can we restore PC data in a timely fashion for our users?  Yes.
Can we restore PC data from more than two weeks ago?  Not from any offsite 
media.
I unsubscribed from the TSM list at marist.edu.  Quite busy.  It got to 
the point that everytime I asked a question I got referred to the basic 
concepts manual.  More encouragement to do things the TSM way.  I think 
some of those people never expire a tape.  Like the guy who was switching 
tape drives and wanted to convert 6,000 tapes.  No joke.  There's people 
who could retire on the amount of money he has in tape media alone.  And I 
don't think anyone was i5/os, or Os/400, aware.
