Server media mount not possible

2012-10-11 Thread Geoff Gill
I thought I'd throw this out there for ideas since I'm just being exposed to NAS backpus and restores. I believe I got a previous post yesterday figured out and was finally able to move on to testing a restore. Now I'm getting a different error but I'm a bit confused as to why. I went through lo

Argh. While I'm glad to know it's not just me, your situation sounds bad. Maybe it will be fixed in 6.4, coming soon. Steve -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Neil Schofield Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2012 2:20 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.M

Steve Yes, we've noticed the same and it's a right pain. The TSM for VE incremental backup processing need to read the CTL files stored during previous backups. We store these on primary disk on the TSM server and back them up to copy storage pools on tape (not collocated). The VM proxy servers a

TSM4VE and Summary Table

2012-10-11 Thread Stackwick, Stephen
I noticed on my Operational Reporter that the TSM4VE datamover does a small amount of RESTORE activity whenever it runs backups. Sure enough, that's what the TSM SUMMARY table claims. Has anyone else seen this? Steve STEPHEN STACKWICK | Senior Consultant | 301.518.6352 (m) | stephen.stackw...@

2012-10-11 Thread Roger Deschner
"Size of node" can be misleading. Number of objects (sum of files, subdirectories, symlinks) is more important than sheer quantity of data. This is what takes up space in the database. We've got nodes with huge quantities of data in a relatively small number of files, which are no problem for TSM.

Excellent advice Zoltan we, too, are in storage occupancy license status. My consolidation effort is partly driven by the fact the TSM 5.5 servers need to be replaced due to "age" issues and purchasing a pile of NEW hardware doesn't fit the budget very well. Thus, the push from mgmt to "con

You can also license TSM by storage occupancy, which is what we have done, for 99.9% of our nodes. Our departments "bean counter" determined it came out cheaper, We run 7-TSM servers (Red Hat Linux) for 600-nodes with total occupancy (as of this email) of *1.1PB* and *1.4B objects.* I define/shif

Re: Nodes per TSM server

2012-10-11 Thread Steven Harris
Harold Given that TSM is licenced by client and not by server is there really any need to consolidate? You won't be running as many boxes but in the greater scheme of things that won't make a lot of difference. Sure when you replace your hardware you can consolidate. Use Butterfly to do the con
