To Library Share Or Not?

Re: To Library Share Or Not?

Yes, this is true. IBMs take on this is that it is up to the customer to make the library "master" server highly available. So cluster the TSM server. If you've got fibre attached disks for your TSM DB, Log and disk pools, then include both of your 630's in the same zone as the TSM disks so that yo

Re: TSM 5.2 Linux

Hi Braulio, You don't need all that lb.conf stuff. You'll need the IBM Tape Driver supplied at: ftp://service.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Linux/RHEL3/. This will supply you with the necessary drivers for the Drives and the Changer (/dev/IBMtapex and /dev/IBMchangerx). Beware the drivers are

Re: Utility/reporting tool to list filesystems/drives not backed up

The default domain is ALL-LOCAL. If you add a drive our mountpoint the TSM client should automaticlly include that on the next backup. On the Unix's that's all mounted filesystems except /tmp. On Winders it's all locally attached drives. Now on Windows if the security for the drive does not include

Re: To Library Share Or Not?

they have a setup here with 2 TSM servers, each being a master of their library for the other. Storage pool backups occurr to the 'offsite' library mastered by the 'other' TSM server. It is awkward in that should work need doing to one library or machine, even just a simple audit library, then the

I'll give the first two a go; 1 ) Yes... as long as you have kept the client node tapes separate in a box (This is related to Question 2 also) and they havent been used since the database backup you will restore was taken. 2 ) Pending tapes are important. They provide the functionality of yo

Long-term data backup strategy

I am looking for suggestions for saving data (db's and the like) for long periods of time. Our problem is servers go EOSL (end of service life) and we build newer ones but usually with different names, and can't do a simple rename in TSM because both old and new server will coexist for an extended

Hi TSM'ers, I've 2 IBM H70, the one running under AIX 4.3.3 ML11 ("ds3") and the other under AIX 5.1.0.0 ML 5 ("ds4", being a "standby" for the "ds3") - Both have access to a 3584 LTO-2 library. - Both have the same "reserve_support" -status, i.e. ds3# lsattr -D -l smc0 -a reserve_sup

Re: To Library Share Or Not?

We use it here to share 1 ADIC S10K tape library across 3 TSM server images. We setup a 4th TSM server to be just the shared library manager - it does nothing else. This has served us well. It's much easier to move or restart the shared library manager if it has nothing else on it (e.g., no node

Mac OSX 5.1.5.1 client dropping out

Hi all I'm having a problem with one of our Mac  servers (with 5.1.5.1 client), in that when ever I try and do a restore, it gets a bit of the way through and then just freezes. When I look at the server activity log it says that there was no communication from the client for 60 seconds. Any idea

32bit API on AIX5 needed

Hallo, we have an application (IBM CommonStore for SAP 8.2) which seems to insist on the 32bit libApiDS.a, but we have only the 64bit API available (BA&API client version is 4.2.3.3 on AIX 5.2). As far as I can see there is no 32bit API for AIX 5. For the moment I have dropped in a libApiDS.a from

Re: TSM and SATA Disk Pools

Hi, I have had issues with Fibre disks when they were cut into huge raw lv's like this. I am no expert, but I think there is something weird about TSM's handling of large raw lv's that introduces a serialized step (not sure exactly, but it seemed to really bottleneck after I added two large lv's.

Charles, See http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0458.html?Open This was in a recent IBM redbooks newsletter. It discusses SATA performance and to me it says that the tsm backup diskpool is not a good use for SATA. Sequential volumes on SATA may be ok. Hope this helps, Bill At 10:21 AM 1

Re: How to remove a single file from a TSM backup tape volume

Thanks for the info about this technote. I'm glad to know there are other people who have to deal with this issue! However, I believe this technote has errors. * The sections (A1-A4) that explain how to LOCATE the tape that contains a particular file backup version are correct and useful.
