Can you use relabelonscratch to force a relabel of each volume as it goes scratch? The new label should be in the higher density and from that point onward you should get the benefit of the new drives. Regards Steve. Steven Harris TSM Admin Paraparaumu, New Zealand On 6/11/2010 4:58 AM, Matth

TSM 6.2.1.1 and XFS

2010-11-05 Thread Melly, Timothy
Is anyone using XFS for their TSM filesystems on RHEL. We're trying to determine if it would be better to use ext3 or xfs. Some recent test that our SysAdmin ran shows that xfs is significantly faster. Any feedback would be appreciated. Regards, Tim

There is no mixture of drives in our library nor is there a mixture of generations of 3592 media. There are only IBM3592-E06 (TS1130) and only long JB media. Data is written in different forms, E05 and E06 alike. There are no production problems arising from this configuration, only question is

Observe the TSM documentation, which says: "Avoid specifying DRIVE when a mixture of drives is used within the same library." and "For optimal performance, do not mix generations of 3592 media in a single library. Media problems can result when different drive generations are mixed." > There is

I am using format=drive in my devclass, no problem reading E05 tapes. A filling E05 tape will be written in E05 format, a new one in E06 format. But how to see which tape is written in E05 ? ( the written capacity is some hint, but on filling its difficult). Am 11/5/10 2:51 PM, schrieb Richard

Would not your prior use of 3592-E05 have been with devclass Format 3592-2, and new use of 3592-E06 be with devclass Format 3592-3, in a recent TSM version/level supporting that specification? Richard Sims

There is no backward compatibility from E05 to E06? If that is the case you might want to create a new library for the E06 media. You could also limit the tape volser ranges available to the new drives. I'd expect that if a drive loaded a tape with an incompatible format, it would recognize tha

Hello, we replaced our IBM3592-E05 with new IBM3592-E06. On long media (JB) they store 1 TB instead 700 GB which is almost 50 % more. My question is "How to distinguish E05 written media from E06 written ?" First approach is to look when the first file was written. If it is after our replac
