Re: TSM Client & TSM TDP for Database Pricing

2014-02-20 Thread Chavdar Cholev

Two options I can see:
1) Ask you IBM rep for sub-capacity licensing for TDP for DB
2) You can use:
-> oracle to dump DB some where and after that to backup this dump with
backup archive client ( I
-> MS SQL -> crate maintenance plan to backup DB on disk and again
backup this dump to TSM with backup-archive client

I personally will not recommend opt. 2) because there are some
disadvantages and would require additional storage space..

Re: TSM 7.1 Silent install

2014-02-20 Thread Hans Christian Riksheim
Raised a PMR Februar 2nd. and after a little back and forth with IBM
support I got silent install working for the 7.1 BA client today. There is
a document APAR which will fix the info center entry some time in the
future.

IBM has evidently just copied the info center entry from the 6.4 version to
7.1 without giving it any thought if it was correct or not. I think we
should expect more.

Solution:
The 7.1 client now uses the 2012 version instead of the 2010 version for
the vcredist thing. The paths after unpacking are:

x86:
TSMCLI_WIN\tsmcli\x64\client\Disk1\ISSetupPrerequisites\{270b0954-35ca-4324-bbc6-ba5db9072dae}
x64:
TSMCLI_WIN\tsmcli\x64\client\Disk1\ISSetupPrerequisites\{7f66a156-bc3b-479d-9703-65db354235cd

SnapDiff backups not reporting last backup dates correctly

2014-02-20 Thread Schaub, Steve
TSM Server 6.2.5.0 on AIX

No, the CISCO blade memory can be just so large to be effective.  VMware memory 
usage sizes the server/blade.  I asked your question many months ago and was 
told by the consultant that this concept would not work to have an good 
performing CISCO blade in the VMware environment.  So, the core count went up!!

[FYI] IBM information centers transition to IBM Knowledge Center

2014-02-20 Thread Angela Robertson
Today technical documentation for IBM hardware and software offerings is
published in unconnected information centers. Content is moving to an
integrated environment where you can access all IBM documentation from one
site called IBM Knowledge Center (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter).

Sometime between early March to mid April (my apologies for not having a
specific date available - this is the window of dates that I have today),
the information centers will redirect to IBM Knowledge Center. If you want
to use IBM Knowledge Center today, you can go to
www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter. Not all content is indexed for search
yet. All content will be indexed for search by time the information centers
redirect to IBM Knowledge Center.

The downloadable information centers that are available today are not going
away. The URL for the downloadable information center is not affected by
the IBM Knowledge Center.

Also, I created pages on the TSM wiki for the 5.5 and 6.1 PDFs. Here are
the links:

TSM 5.5 PDFs -
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/PDF%20versions%20of%20the%20IBM%20Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager%20Version%205.5.x%20documentation

There are a few ways to learn more about IBM Knowledge Center:
  Read an overview posted on the developerWorks site at

If you want to provide feedback about IBM Knowledge Center, you can take
the survey posted at
https://www-304.ibm.com/software/support/trial/cst/forms/survey.wss?id=5323.


If you want more videos posted, let me know. I want the transition from

 Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" 
 
 Hi all,
 
 we’ve recently upgraded our TSM for Mail from 6.1 to 6.4 on our 
 exchange 2007 servers.
 
 To facilitate long-term retention of the monthly backup we take an 
 extra full backup of the exchange DB once a month using a different 
> node 
>>> name.
 
 With the old client this was not an issue in case of recovery. We’d 
 just first restore (into a recovery database) the full from the 
 ‘month’ node, then subsequent incremental back-ups using the ‘daily’
 node and replay the lot.
 
 Now, the first restore using the new client version is causing us 
 major headaches, no matter what we do, Exchange will not replay the 
 logs and the recovery database is impossible to mount. For some 
 reason it’s looking for log files with names starting with R while 
 all we have are log files with names starting with E.
 
 Our exchange specialists have tried everything in their book as well
 as everything google can come up with, but so far no success.
 
 Anyone has any hints? Everything is appreciated. (yes, the monthly 
 full backups will become copy backups soon).

Re: TSM Client & TSM TDP for Database Pricing

2014-02-20 Thread Prather, Wanda
If you are using TSM/VE, look at the options in VE 7.1 for doing DB restores 
right out of TSM/VE snapshots, rather than using TDP for Databases.
I haven't gotten the opportunity to test it myself, it's new, so I'm not sure 
where it is appropriate and where it isn't.
Just bringing it up, in case that would eliminate the requirement for some of 
your TDP for DB setups.

Hello Yann,

If you are using Exchange Server 2013, we recommend that you upgrade to 
Data Protection for Exchange 7.1. It has additional capabilities, such as: 

- Multi-language support in mailbox restore browser GUI
- Mailbox restore browser restore to Unicode PST files 
- Mailbox restore browser restore to PST files greater than 2GB 
- Improved responsiveness of mailbox restore browser GUI
- Ability to directly opening EDB and LOG files in mailbox restore browser
- Improved usability for instant restore
- New method for collecting mailbox history for improved backup 
performance
- New calendar widget for entering dates in MMC GUI

Thank you,

Del
