Re: Moving Stgpools question

2002-08-31 Thread Seay, Paul
Actually, there are more restrictions than what Mathew indicates. A copy pool tape must be moved to the same copy pool. It cannot move the data to a new copy pool like a primary can move to a new primary. To move all your Copy Pool data to another copy pool, just build a new copy pool using all

2002-08-31 Thread Seay, Paul
You say you put it on SAN. What kind? I am guessing a Shark or FastT device since it is an IBM SAN. If you only got 10% with Oracle and the issues with TSM on the database I think you have your file systems on the AIX machine setup incorrectly or another problem. It could be the tape drive is

We did a simple cpu/disk upgrade during first shift. The libary was the same, and we moved from nt4 running on a Dell 6100 (dual 200Mhz) to a Dell 2400 also a dual cpu running w2k. After the last of the night's backup finished we copyed all the primary data to the offsite pool. Migrated all data

What SUN probably did not tell you was they were probably 32K or 64K blocks to get that data rate. TSM Database uses 4K and most other databases are 4K or 8K. Are you using raw volumes for the disk pools? If so, talk to SUN to find out what the optimal block sizes are. If you are using a file

Hi there and thanks in advance for all your tips and recommendations we have a huge distributed new TSM setup, with server spread across the campuses. We recently moved from 3 ADSM 3.1 servers to 9 TSM 4.2.2 servers all direct attached SUN 280r(sol-2.8), SUN T3 and Spectralogic 64K libs I have

backup performance with db and log on a SAN

2002-08-31 Thread Eliza Lau
I recently moved the 36G TSM database and 10G log from attached SCSI disk drives to a SAN. Backing the db now takes twice as long as it used to (from 40 minutes to 90 minutes). The old attached disk drives are non-RAID and TSM mirrored. The SAN drives are RAID-5 and TSM mirrored. I know I have
