My first post here. I'm newish to TSM administration, taking over for our former admin. Though I did just complete the 7.1 setup and admin course. funnily enough, the systems I'm administering are all 6.3.x.
My issue is thus: We have two remote sites with their own TSM servers and single drive libraries. Site 1 was configured and installed by our previous administrator at version 6.3.3 and does the following: Every day at midnight it migrates the smallish primary diskpool to a tape primary and a copy pool. It does this with one drive and no FILE class media types. My assumption is that during the migration, he's managed to get it to move data first to the primary tape, then copy to the copy pool in the same operation.
Site 2 was configured after the former admin left and is running 6.3.4. There is little documentation on how he set up site 1 and we've run into issues. We were able to get it up and running and performing backups, but we cannot get the offsite DR pool to work. Site 2 needs to do what Site 1 is executing. Single tape drive migration to both primary tape and a copy pool. Despite mirroring settings from one environment to the other, it does not function.
I have been digging at this for two weeks now without a solution. Almost all of the documentation I've found says it can't be done and yet I'm watching it happen on one environment. Any ideas as to what I'm missing?
