    Hi,

    We have a IBM CM OnDemand environment where we are using Tivoli Storage Manager as the storage manager of OnDemand.

    In our OnDemand/ars.cfg we have the following configuration

    #
    # Storage Manager for OnDemand to use
    #
    ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=TSM
    
    #######################################
    # TSM Parameters (Object Server Only) #
    #######################################
    DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin
    DSMSERV_CONFIG=/home/tsmadmin/dsmserv.opt
    DSM_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64
    DSM_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.opt
    DSM_LOG=/tmp
    DSMG_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64
    DSMG_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.opt
    DSMG_LOG=/tmp
    DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64
    DSMI_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.opt
    DSMI_LOG=/tmp

    My goal is to use CACHE_ONLY storage manager - like below

    #
    # Storage Manager for OnDemand to use
    #
    ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=CACHE_ONLY

    My question is how can we start using ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=CACHE_ONLY
    I dont really know much about this TSM instance, so my concern is if we simply change to ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=CACHE_ONLY, what happends to already archived items?
