Question about collocation.

Hello, We are running a 3494 library serving, among others, some 1400 NT servers. These servers occupy on average 2 Gb in a non-collocated storage pool. We want/need to switch on collocation at a node level for these clients, but I don t want to let them collocate on 1400 30-50Gb 3590s. How do pe

Peter, When you log in, are you using a fully qualified NDS ID? I've found that if you don't, you will have this type of problem. For example, you might use .TSM.BACKUP.BCIT as your user ID. Note that the leading period needs to be there. As a NetWare boy myself, I hope this helps. Seth F

Backupsets - does anyone use them?

Hi, Does anyone use the generate backupset command - whether it is for DRP test or for ad-hoc archiving for user data? I basically have two questions: 1) If the backupset is supposed to speed recovery time - has anyone found this to be true? 2)Has anyone really tested the process and had

Re: Question about collocation.

I'm not sure there would be any advantage to setting on colocation when you have 300 cartridges and 1400 clients, since the number of cartridges could not satisfy the requirements. TSM will place the files from the nodes on all the tapes. If there were an advantage to having some of your nodes

Re: Question about collocation.

Maybe it's been too long since I last had my hands on ADSM (or TSM), but I don't think this is right. Although a client won't have a tape to itself, TSM should keep all of any given client's files on the same tape if possible. While this will cause more tape mounts during migration from disk pool

Re: Question about collocation.

Yes, you can do it that way: set maxscratch=0 and manually define tapes. Yes, collocation will behave with a less than ideal number of tapes, placing multiple clients per tape. What I don't know is if will be smart about tape mounts in that situation. I'm guessing it won't be smart. I would add

Hello Paul, We do this. You can set maxscratch=0 and define private volumes to the storage pool, or you can set maxscratch=nnn, and use scratch tapes that way, without using up all of the tapes in your robot. We do the former, mostly. It is not a problem to have more users than tapes. In fact
