Re: 4 spindles for db: best performing setup

Hi Michael, I have a similar environment and created two RAID 0 lun's of 2 disks each. The mirroring is done in TSM itself. I'm more interested in what segment size people use on the disks and if a certain pp size is recommended for a volume group under AIX. Good luck Best Regards, Oscar ---

SV: 4 spindles for db: best performing setup

Hi First off, the number of spindles is not the only important factor. What kind of disk are you using for the database? Do you have a disk cache for read / write caching or is it JBOD in a machine? Second off, to aquire maximum performance on a limited amount of spindles, I suggest you use th

TDP for SQL don't truncate the logs

Hi *SMers, I had a lot of fun with you all at Pulse09 in Vegas. I hope I will see you all again at Pulse 2010 in Vegas the 24th of Feb. :) Anyway, I have a fun "problem" with a SQL 2005 Server on Windows 2003 running with TDP 5.5.1 x86 and TSM Server 5.4 on AIX version x.x But since a wild back

Re: TDP for SQL don't truncate the logs

Christian, This is normal and correct behavior. In the SQL Server "Full Recovery" model, in order to truncate log, you must run a log backup. You will see that in the Microsoft docs and the DP/SQL User's Guide. Here is an excerpt from the Microsoft documentation: --- Transaction Log Trunca

AIX to RHEL command

Just beginning to install TSM on some new RHEL servers but I have little OS command experience for Linux. What is the equivalent syntax to get an AIX 'errpt' output on the RHEL system.

Tracking who "owns" a node

For every node we back up, there is someone who uses it. This person knows that: * They want it backed up ONLY between 2AM and 4AM; * They can't afford TDP so please back up the flat-file database dump and ignore the true DB directories; * They prefer to exclude drive C: * For recovery, the appli

Hi, We're looking a way to manage the TSM nodes with ITIM (IBM Tivoli Identity Manager). Has anybody done this or know if it's possible? Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

This has always been a reliable operation for me. If the activity log isn't indicating a problem with storage you might have a database issue. IBM support is definitely the right way to go with this. Regards, Shawn Shawn Drew Internet richard.

Re: Export/Import node from one instance to another

It looks like the filedata parameter defaults to filedata=all. You either need to say filedata=all or look at that parameter in the help and decide what you need. If you have that, then it might be time to call IBM. On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 1:42 PM, Richard Mochnaczewski < richard.mochnaczew...@s

Re: AIX to RHEL command

Depends on what you are looking for, but since errpt is mostly about hardware errors the command 'dmesg' would be the most equivalent. That's the output of the kernel message buffer which includes among other things hba, tape and other drivers. You would normally find this in /var/log/dmesg as well
