OH, bimps. Glad to know that before I did all the work, you just saved me a lot of effort and I thank you. So when you got down that road, what did you end up doing instead? Only other thing I can think of is to install the BA client in the guest and do an incremental once a month? W -Or

Re: Moving the TSM DB2 database (AIX)

2014-03-21 Thread Prather, Wanda
Was just thinking the same - It's only the conversion from V5 to V6 that takes forever. Once you are V6/DB2, DB backup-restore is fast again. I have TSM 6.3.4 on Windows, DB is 930G used, DS3512 disk, and it will back up to LTO5 in 90 minutes if the server isn't doing a lot else at the time.

I don't remember if you can shrink a DISK pool with DELETE VOLUME or not. I think so, but I won't swear to it. Most people use DISK for short-term storage (overnight, typically) so they don't have to wait for the tape drives to keep up with incoming traffic and use FILE for longer-term storage; FI

It does thank you, I thought though that migration was only for overflow. Also, I already have the local disk set up as a primary pool... If I do not have more disk space to make a new active pool would I need to wipe out the current disk primary pool in order to make this new active data pool?

Re: File retention

2014-03-21 Thread Nick Laflamme
It doesn't work that way. If you want to keep a copy of inactive files on tape forever, you need to have a primary storage pool on tape (call it "ONSITE" for the purpose of this note). So, BACKUPS will migrate data to ONSITE. You'll also use BACKUP STG to populate OFFSITETAPE, mostly from BACKUPS

Hello, TSM 6.3.4.3 on Windows 2008 R2 I'm wondering if someone can direct me to a document or the area of the admin guide that has this info. I feel like I have read and re-read that thing and am getting nowhere. I thought the answer was management classes but I cannot find how to do it.

Eric, you can find LAN-free to disk info in the Storage Agent Guide, and also a couple of comments in the Admin Guide. With GPFS, the only non-SAN transfer is if your environment has a Windows Storage Agent on GPFS. Windows in GPFS transfers across TCP/IP (it's not a TSM function but rather a GPFS

I've used migratepv to move oracle DBs around with no problems. I would not expect any issues with using LVM mirroring or migratepv to move the TSM DB. That is what I would do in your situation. But your comments about taking days to backup and restore your TSM DB worries me. How long does i

Hi I did exactly this last week but I used migratepv instead of the mirroring approach. I was moving from ds8100 to ds8870. Mirroring method will be fine. Cheers Sent from Samsung Mobile Original message From: Roger Deschner Date:21/03/2014 03:35 (GMT+00:00) To: ADSM-L@V
