Is anyone out there using a DataDomain VTL? I'm getting some pressure to look at this, and I'd like to find some honest opinions of them. I know that some time back there were some conversations around this, but some tech has been updated and DD has been bought by EMC, etc. So, if you have one,

If you have any advice/documentation for what is needed to provide the "untangled" Java set up, I would appreciate your passing it on. I can't find any doc that explains what the Java requirements are. And when it doesn't work, it just doesn't work, and I resort to the dsmmfc.exe version. Thanks

The only way I found to reliably get back the tape drives after the Linux TSM server guest was ipl'ed under zVM was to delete/define the drives in TSM. From what I understand san discovery using Linux/390 under zVM does not work. The following is the script I use: DELETE PATH SERVER1 DRIVE1 SRCT=SE

Yesterday, we appear to have lost one of our fiber attached ts1120 drives. TSM on sles9 running as a guest in zvm Server v5.4.4. Tapes are in a 3494 library. The problem is that lin_tape assigns devices /dev/IBMtape0 /dev/IBMtape1 etc. in order of attachment to tapes. If any one but the last in

Hey, ho. Having seen some discussion of recent sighting of per-TB licensing in the wild, I trundled over to my business partner to get the skinny. Fine BP said no such thing exists to his knowledge. Could one of you fine folks who have actually seen one of these go by provide a few more details,

Hi Everyone, I was scanning the TSM v6.1 Technical Guide Redbook the other day. In the section about estimating the Active Log size, it discusses making an estimate of 3x of what you _use_ from your v5 TSM server log. To get this info, they show running a "show logv" cmd just prior to your full
