3 tapes containing 7TB of data. Amazing.
So after that, I continued with the migration process. Working on HSM backup tapes - Daily(05) through Daily(07) and then the Spill volumes. Tomorrow, ML2 is going to virtual tape, as well as our full volume disaster recovery volumes.
Also had a meeting with the VMWARE folks to setup a plan on how to resolve the out of sync condition between the sVC LUN's and the hosts' SCSI ID's.
Also met with IBM to discuss some datacenter consolidation efforts - seems IBM is putting a good word in for me - suggesting that I be the key person on the storage side. (May mean a promotion)
All in all, it's been a good day. I do get jazzed up when things go as planned - especially with the ATL/VTS stuff. Been working my butt off on that project since January...

Our VTS is only a B10 so we dont do export. However ML2 goes to jags (3592's). IBM recomended we not try to put ML2 or TMM into the VTS.
Guess it made sense to me
