Hi Gary! As far as I know Amazon cloud is not (yet) supported... Only Cleversafe, Softlayer and Swift are. Kind regards, Eric van Loon Air France/KLM Storage Engineering
-----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Lee, Gary Sent: dinsdag 22 maart 2016 19:35 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: cloud pools, directory containers, dedup etc. Just jumping into the cloud storage arena with tsm. Just installed server 7.1.5 to experiment with cloud storage. We have been mandated to replace our largely tape based environment with amazon cloud storage. I know very little of tsm's implementation of this, and how it may be used. I see lots of mention of dedup, of which I am somewhat scared. I have always preferred such things as dedup and compression be performed at the storage hardware level. So,this all prompts several questions. 1. Are there use case docs or best practice docs for implementing cloud storage in tsm? 2. What is the impact of dedup on server performance? 3. What impact does dedup have on database and logging? 4. Impact on server recovery and disaster protection? 5. Can we start off without doing dedup, then when comfortable with it implement it? That will be enough to start with. Also, has the administrator's guide returned for 7.1.5? I didn't see it anywhere. Thanks for any and all help. ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
