I'm about to create a new storage pool with lots of disk and six drives. Does anyone have an opinion about either creating one huge filesystem for the storage pool or creating the filesystem as RAID 1? Mike

Currently we send an email showing the results of q event * * begind=today-$days endd=today begint=now endt=now There are a few nodes that are backed up based on a local scheduler rather than being started by the tsm scheduler. Does anyone have a report that will parse something like 'q act' and

define clientaction?

2004-07-12 Thread Mike Eggleston
Within dsmadmc you can use the 'define clientaction NODE action=incremental' to schedule an immediate backup. This backup is incremental, though. How do you use 'define clientaction' to schedule a full backup? Mike

list of files within tsm?

Is there anyway, without resorting to the slowness of a 'select ...' style query within dsmadmc, of getting a list of the files in TSM like the list of files you can get executing a 'query backup' within dsmc? I have a mixed environment and from my unix boxes I want a list of windows files that ar

please explain/discuss serverfree and lanfree techniques

2004-06-04 Thread Mike Eggleston
I know that TSM can do both serverfree and lanfree. My impression of these is that for lanfree the client node asks TSM over the network where to place files. The TSM server tells the node and the node talks to the tape drives directly. Since I have four tape drives (that I can put onto the SAN fa

multiple schedules?

2004-06-02 Thread Mike Eggleston
It seems like my current TSM setup has servers grouped into like processing (or similiar) categories for backup scheduling. Is there any benefit in keeping the groups currently in place, but adding a schedule per server and maybe a schedule per platform? Creating a matrix of schedules instead of si

report of usage by file type?

2004-06-01 Thread Mike Eggleston
With much patience from my TSM admin I have learned that the dsmc command 'query backup' will generate a list of files. I started to write the script on unix to query the database for all nodes, but the server tells me the client is down-release and so will not show me the node's files. I moved my
