Library Manager and Migration question
Hi All, We currently have 1 TSM server ver 5.3.3 on AIX 5.3, with a large database, 228GB. We have finally received approval to move this to a new server, upgrade to 5.5 and split the clients up to reduce the DB size. We would like to have 4 LPAR's created on the new server, 1 for a Library manager and the other 3 for client databases. Our library is a TS3584 with 12 LTO2 drives. We are adding another expansion cabinet and adding 4 LTO3 drives but are staying with LTO2 tapes for now. Our current library configuration has the library shared but it is not a library manager since we only had one server. Due to the size and complexity of our environment, we contracted with a vendor to do the setup and start the process. Now that the contract has been signed and we have started our planning sessions, the vendor is having a problem with the library manager/client configuration. At first he said that there was no such thing. I sent him documentation and they also found an IBM redbook on the subject but now says that it is too complicated since our server is so large and that I will need to partition the library, with some data loss!! I am strongly against this setup and would like to know if I am wrong. How difficult would it be to create a library manager and client setup for an existing environment? I currently have over 1000 tapes onsite and as many offsite and naturally do not want to lose any data. Thanks for the feedback. Debbie Haberstroh Server Administration

It takes about 10 minutes to set up (not counting such non-TSM activities such as SAN zoning and such).

Re: Library Manager and Migration question
Sounds like you signed with the wrong group, you know more than they do. I've been in this same boat with TSM and other apps. Drives you up the wall. We had one vendor put in a TSM system at a former workplace. He told us we only had to run reclamation on the onsite pools and the offsite stuff would just "take care of itself". Anyway, All you really need, from my understanding, is to setup a new TSM server LPAR and make it the Library manager, and make the current TSM instance another Library client. Then setup your other TSM instances as you desire, and perform node exports. I would upgrade to TSM 5.5.1 first, so that you can do restartable exports and imports, etc. From my perspective and what I've seen in this no data loss should be expected, and you can do a good dB backup ahead of time to give you a go back to spot. But in all honesty a TSM consultant should not be overwhelmed by any environment (noticeably that is).

Re: Library Manager and Migration question
Hi Debbie, There is absolutely no reason why you can't separate your current configuration into a Library manager and library client without losing data. IMHO the vendor that you hired does not seem really understand how TSM works. I recently had to do something similar here at UC Berkeley with our 3494 Library; and while it can be complex and time consuming, it can be done without any data loss.

Re: TSM for SharePoint (DocAve)
Hi Lisa, What are the issues you are experiencing? Keeps these things in mind before installation: *If installing the DocAve server package on a system where a TSM client earlier than level 5.4.0.2 is already installed, all TSM clients and client services (such as the TSM scheduler service) must be stopped to allow the installation and configuration of the DocAve connection to TSM to complete successfully. Have you seen this User Guide Manual: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.tivoli.sharepoint.doc/welcome.htm Regards, Guido van Brakel > Afternoon, all! > > Is there anyone playing with this right now?

I've been in this same boat with TSM and other apps. Drives you up the wall. We had one vendor put in a TSM system at a former workplace. He told us we only had to run reclamation on the onsite pools and the offsite stuff would just "take care of itself". Anyway, All you really need, from my understanding, is to setup a new TSM server LPAR and make it the Library manager, and make the current TSM instance another Library client. Then setup your other TSM instances as you desire, and perform node exports. I would upgrade to TSM 5.5.1 first, so that you can do restartable exports and imports, etc. From my perspective and what I've seen in this no data loss should be expected, and you can do a good dB backup ahead of time to give you a go back to spot. But in all honesty a TSM consultant should not be overwhelmed by any environment (noticeably that is).
