tsm disk volumes for db and log

2007-01-11 Thread Dierk Harbort
Hello all! I am working on a new design of our tsm environment - a lot of changes in sight this year. So here a litte question to check my ideas for the new design: IBM support told me, that it would be the best to have not more than about 6-8 diskvolumes for the tsm database, due to the recovery

Actually, it will work just fine. Any number of TSM server images on one computer can share a physical tape drive connection (or tape drive partition) with no additional contention problems, beyond the contention you already have. They share quite nicely, giving drives to each other as needed under

Zoltan, I did a consulting gig at a large TSM site a million years ago that sounds similar to yours. In their case, they had a TSM server that was flat out 24*7 and did not have enough time to do even the simplest thing like expire files. My job there was to help figure out what to do. In worki

I did just what you're asking for a client last month. You can backup-restore the DB between 32-bit and 64-bit with no problems. I was fortunate with this conversion that the DB and LOG volumes were on SAN attached disk. So we just mapped the volumes over to the new 64-bit server with the same dr

Some of our servers are going end-of-life this year and we will be replacing them with new servers that will have the 64-bit version of the W2K3 operationg system (instead of the 32-bit version that we had prior). Two questions: 1. Is it possible to backup the 32-bit version of TSM (full db bac

Tape Library Maintenance Question

Hi. Our IT management is looking at possibly reducing our IBM tape library maintenance. We currently have IBM perform the maintenance which is costly. What other vendor(s) can we use to maintain our IBM tape library which others TSM shops use?? Thoughts??

We never have enough resources. The 4-LTO drives in one library, are shared amongst 3-TSM servers which transfer over 2TB, nightly. The 4th TSM server is dedicated to Domino backups, which use it's 4-LTO and 4-3592 drives, 24x7, transferring almost 3TB of mostly non-compressable data (I never get

Hi Aravind, I'd say that using a separate/dedicated nodename for TDPO backups is a must whichever scheduling mechanism you'd choose to use (for clarity I usually suffix the nodename/cluster name with _TDPO where the node is defined in a separate policy domain on the TSM server with an appropriatel
