Hi *SM-ers!
We are about to implement a second (fallback) IT center on another
location. The idea is to create a hot standby environment for TSM.
We are already using a separate copypool which will be moved to the new
remote location, so if the primary pool gets lost, we have all data (up

Hi Eric,
In a disaster, you mark your primary pool volumes "destroyed", but they
are still in your DB, along with all the appropriate file entries.
If you start backing up again, TSM just continues doing incrementals,
because the DB tells it the older files were already backed up.
To rebuild you
Hi Allen!
Thank you very much for your reaction!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, you cannot backup to a
copypool. Am I wrong here?
I cannot wait for the restore storagepool to finish... This will take
days and I will have to be able to make client backups immediately.
If I was able t

Hello Eric,
You will only require scratch tapes in the primary pool or that TSM can move
into the primary pool to do backups. TSM really does not think of working with
tape-sets, it thinks of working with data. If all your primary storage media is
wiped out and you have your copypool data. The
What are experiences with running TSM server on Linux x86 box?
Mgmnt here wants to go that way to save dollars.
Currently have on AIX on a p660-6H1 with 4GB RAM and 4x 750 MHz procs.

The background on this is that this server, AIX 5.3, TSM 5.2.6.1, has been
running smoothly forever. Max Scheduled sessions is set to 64, total number
of servers that back up to this guy is only 36. So needless to say I would
never expect to see missed backups related to servers missing their backu

No, but that's not a problem.
Suppose you have a disaster. At the DR site, you have all your copypool
data, but all your pr

No, you can't back up to a copy pool. But you do

Allen,
Thanks for the kind words, but it's not me, it's the Fibre.
One of my sites is buying a VTL to replace the primary pool.
But putting the VTL OFFSITE, and keeping the 3584 for the Copypool
onsite.
We're even using a hand-me-down Windows server as a backup domain
controller in the offsite c
Yes, we have some luxeries others don't.
Our MAN/WAN is sufficent with dark fiber to back up cross site, so in the
nature of the backup its offsite as soon as its complete. Since tape needs a
copy in the advent of media failure we zone our fabric so the TSM server tape
libraries have a couple
Hi all,
is anyone of you out there using the HDS shadowimage feature & ITSM?
If yes could you pls tell me on which platform and for which application?
Thks in advance for your answer

Look carefully at the IO load. Most x86 systems cannot handle as much IO on
their busses as the pSeries hardware does. What bandwidth do you have on your
network connection. Fourteen LTO drives is a lot of potential MB/sec, but if
you bottleneck things at the Ethernet adapter (or elsewhere),
David,
Get two quotes, one from an IBM partner for a Series P/AIX solution, and one
from a *different* IBM partner for a Series X/Linux solution. I suggest two
partners because if you use one they might try to skew the decision one way
or the other, depending on their sales quotas this month :)
