Re: 5Yr Retention Was RE:

5 years is an easy one. Get LTO or 3590 or 9840/9940 and you have done the job. The problems can come if go closer to 10 years (other issues to consider as well). And if you have to achieve 20-30 years there is only one answer - permanent WORMs + 2-3 (!) copypools. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant

Re: Disk->Tape migration, cache and maxnummp

Interpretation ought to be correct except the number. 98% used with 0.2% migratable means 0.2% real data and 97.8% cached. If backup requires space and file is not larger than maxsize/poolsize cached data ought to be purged. Verify for (order of probability): 1. maxsize limit on the diskpool 2. ex

Re: password encryption

Paul, I am not sure it is a public/private encryption (RSA). My guess is for licensing reasons 10 years ago DES was used and that part of the code wasn't changed since. Guessing further I would say some hash-function takes node's name and password as arguments and produces DES key. Same function i

Re: TSM Upgrade frequency

Todd, For the original question: up to now majority of our customers have Storage Agent nodes and we have no problems with upgrades. Mostly these are AIX servers (Windows ones are smaller and go over LAN) and life with AIX is very easy. You can perform upgrade during the day without *any* signific

Re: Problem with Storagetek L20 and 5.1.6.2

How you did the upgrade (4.1.6 -> 5.1.6.2 or 4.1.6 -> 5.1.0.0 -> 5.1.6.0 -> 5.1.6.2 or otherwise)? What is the fileset and version for the ITSM device driver? You hope wrong or you hope normal :-) Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant GUILLAUMONT Etienne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor

Re: Need ideas for offsite copy of HSM tapes

I am surprised to see many answers to this thread not commenting the standard TSM functionality sufficient to achieve the goal: - HSM client sends the data in a storage pool. That storage pool can be backed up to a copypool. If this is a storage hierarchy within the server (diskpool migration to ta

Re: Slow client sessions

So let me repeat in short to realize what you've done: - you had a TSM server with lot of data (45 GB DB, 1000 desktops and unknown number of servers, etc.); - you had "vario(u)s errors" and intentionally ignored them; - you preferred to abandon the supported export/import and step deeply in unexpl

Re: bug?

What's the point? I see nothing buggy here except DDSPOOL not in the storage hierarchy (which might be intentional). Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Remco Post <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 21.02.2003 17:20 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager"
