It may be beneficial, if you have enough fast tape drives, to consider setting the
COPYSTGpools attribute of the primary disk storage pools. The COPYSTGpools
attribute causes the server to write to the copy storage pool set by
COPYSTGpools at the same time as it is storing data in the primary disk pool.
While this has distinct advantages (you do not have to back up your primary
storage pool later on, for example), the backup process can slow down from the
client's point of view, as it waits for two writes to complete instead of one.

6.5.4 Check a tape in to a library

The checkin libvolume command can perform two functions. Firstly, it can move a
tape volume from an I/O port on the library into an empty cartridge slot within the
library. Secondly, it updates Tivoli Storage Manager's volume inventory for the
library. If a tape has already been placed in a slot inside the library, checkin
libvolume can simply search the library for the tape.
Before the next two examples, the tapes were checked out of the library and the
tape magazines removed for library maintenance purposes. The magazines
were placed back in the library in the same positions as before.
Example 6-26 shows the checkin process for scratch volumes.
