Hello everyone! I am trying to come up with the fastest/best method of restoring a file system for a solaris 5.8 client. Currently their offsite data is stored on Magstar 3590B's and they share the offsite copy pool with approximately 35 other client servers. I am looking into the possibility of adding another hierarchy of storage for a new disk pool, sequential and offsite tape pool for the 10 servers that need their /p01 file system collocated in the offsite tape pool. I know that it isn't recommended to make an offsite tape pool collocated due to the increase in use of tapes and also reclamation for that offsite tape pool, but I'm not sure what else I can do for them in order to considerably increase their restore times. The TSM server is at level 5.1.6.2 on os/390 2.10, but will be moving shortly to an AIX platform at TSM 5.2.2 level.
I have considered doing a selective backup of the /P01 file system, backupsets, imagebackups and snapshots of their disk. Does anyone have any suggestions or best practice for their data? Does anyone do offsite collocation for a small group of servers single file system? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
