One thing that is supported if your servers are 6.3:
You can set up node replication from one server to another, and the 2 servers
don't have to be the same platform.
Then kill off the old server.
But for V5, export/import is the only supported way.
And depending on your network, your available h
Correct.
Anything that has to be readable without accessing a live TSM DB, can't be
encrypted with TSM, ergo backupsets, exports, DB backups.
And I don't know of any other reason not to choose TSM/App managed encryption.
It's transparent, easy, free, and I've never run into any problems with it.
Hi all,
there is another TSM management and administration product available
(FREEWARE and professional edition)
which you can choose:
"Power Administrator for TSM" - www.tsmpoweradmin.com
Some highlights:
- Full automation and automatic alarming function.
- A lot of "out of the Box" reports
Thanks.
Other than the factor that certain tapes/processes are not encrypted (from
the book when setting DRIVEE=ON - *Other types of volumes—for example,
backup sets, export volumes, and database backup volumes—will not be
encrypted.*)
is there any reason not to choose "Application Managed Encryp

Either TSM or TKLM, the encryption is done outboard by the drive itself.

You'll want to look at the TKLM product which does require licensing for the

Hi Zoltan,
We used TSM encryption (Application base on AIX TSM servers) and here

1. On TSM server :

Is it really as easy as just installing a new server on the new platform and
then restoring a db?
I wasn't aware that you could restore a db across platforms. I thought you
would have to export/import the nodes out of the AIX server into the Linux
server.

You should be able to restore a db backup after installing the new server.
Then, define storage pools, tape drives, and libraries as necessary.

The performance of the unload/load process is hardly predictable.
Performance varies enormously during the unload process and seems to be
related to the amount of fragmentation. You can get an idea about your

We have used TSMManager for many years and are very happy with it. It has
fully automated and made very simple the administration of 8-servers.
