Backing up nodes in a different Network Domain

Hi all, It's a possibility that our 3 sister companies on the same site currently sharing the same LAN maybe split into 3 network domains using Vlans and firewalls. All 3 Domains will somehow, have access to central services like internet, accounting applications, etc. We intend to ret

Hello Bill, Granted that have the appropriate trust relationships configured between the domains, appropriate firewall rules and efficient performance tuning, you can backup clients residing in a domain different to that of your TSM server. In our Storage environment, we backup numerous clients in

Hello Bill, As other have posted, TSM should handle the backups without problems related to the use of different network domains. But. You might want to look at why there are different domains. Might you expect that in the future that one or more of the 3 sister companies might be sold or sp

People, please help me, I'm lost... We are running two TSM instances on one AIX host. I'm trying to create a new library on both of them. The first one was no problem and everything went as expected.

I'm a little confused on what you are trying to do. Is this one new lib being shared between 2 instances via library sharing (one set of rmt/smc devices), or, 2 new libs - one for each tsm instance (separate sets of rmt/smc devices - one set to each tsm instance)? Also, are you using Atape multi

I agree entirely that "VCB" and "beauty" together does not compute, and the 2-phase vmdk restore is dorky. But regarding the backup cycle, there is an "in between" option most TSM folks can use without taking the hit of two complete backups ("virtual drive" and "image" as described below) daily.

Confusing!! 1. In UNIX, special characters are reserved for special functions and special care must be taken to not have these characters interpreted during code execution. As a result, using UNIX specific device names as names for your TSM resources is asking for trouble! 2. Why aren't you using

I am not sure of your use of the word domain. Windows domains are not relevant because TSM does need a Windows account to work. We have two domains, no problem. DNS domains are only troublesome if the TSM server is unable to resolve the nodes IP address due to a DNS lookup problem. We have 2 in

Hi Richard! It's a virtual library from EMC in which I created two libraries, one for the first TSM instance, the other one for the other instance. TSM1 uses the renamed devices (/dev/253 with drives /dev/253_0 to 29) and I could create paths to the drives succesfully on that TSM instance. On the o

Hi Nicholas! 1) I know, but it has always worked this way and it does still work for the other TSM instance running on the same host! 2) Because we use multiple libraries and drives. In fact it's an AIX cluster which runs two TSM instances on every node. Since it's a HACMP cluster, one cluster node

I don't have any real idea, but if it works as /dev/rmtX, and not after renaming - I wonder if the binding is getting messed up on the rename. Check the device attributes before the rename, and then after, and see if the scsi_id, wwn, lun_id is the same. lsattr -El rmt9 lsattr -El r123_4

Hi Richard! They are identical... It must be a TSM issue then. I will try to create a path to the renamed drive tomorrow (which will fail) and then try to create a path to the same drive on the other TSM server on the same host. If that one does not fail, it must be related to that specific TSM

Hi Eric, If I understand you correct. You can define a drive and the path. As soon you rename the drive the path is stop working? And now you can't you update the path anymore or delete / define it again? Have you compare the output from q drive f=d before and after rename? Same thing with q pa

Provide a "q db f=d" output. Also, might want to do a "ESTimate DBREorgstats" for more information. But yes, most likely an unloaddb, loaddb is your only option (other than upgrading to 6.1, which is supposed to let you optimize while running) Regards, Shawn _

I am not sure shrinking the amount of disk space used by the DB will be worth the time. TSM will use the pages in the DB, even if they are not at the end. You will still have to add new disks at the same point in the future. Andy Huebner -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manage
