Re: How to stop data from expiring

2008-11-06 Thread Craig TSM
Understand, though, what the actual TSM handling is, to fully appreciate what happens with stored objects. Files don't have expiration dates in the TSM database: they have instantiation datestamps and deactivation datestamps. The deactivation datestamp plus the retention period determines the ex

Using TSM for On-Demand Disaster Recovery Data?

2008-11-06 Thread Bell, Charles (Chip)
My boss is talking about us having a site that will host hardware for our core applications, including TSM. By what he is saying we want to have the most recent backup, and that's all, at the second site at any given time. This would include a handful of Windows clients, several AIX clients, one DB

There are all sorts of bells and whistles you can do with a DR scenario, but you need to keep in mind that you want that TSM DR instance up and operational as soon as possible. Here are some ideas: 1. Synchronous replication of your TSM database. 2. Electronic vaulting of copy pools to the library

I figured as much, export/import is not blazingly fast, so, 2020 is probably a pretty good estimate. Why? IBM charges about 3 times more in maintenance costs than SUN (at similar performance points) Thanks for the insights. Bill On 6 nov 2008, at 22:04, Evans, Bill wrote: > Hello, > > TSM Se

Get out an envelope and a piece of paper. On the envelope write: "To my successor: When you consider migrating your TSM server to a different platform, open this envelope." Write everything up to this point including this sentence on the piece of paper. Put the paper in the envelope and put it in
