David Not 100% sure on the HP Bladecenters, but I do have experience with the IBM ones - probably all of a muchness. The IBM ones can either use passthru modules (which present every port of the dual port card on each blade) or switches. From what you are saying, I'd have thought you have swi

Hi Steven, Thanks for your thoughts - disk resilience between the two ports on the blade is an unmoveable for the customer, so sharing disk and tape traffic over the same ports is really the only option, if the SAN Storage Agent is to be used. After opening a query with IBM about this config, thei

2009-09-30 Thread Andrew Raibeck
Hi Robert, When TSM performs system state backup, it asks the operating system (via VSS) for the list of files that are part of system state. TSM then attempts to back these files up. If the file cannot be found, then the system state backup will stop (as you have seen). Therefore it would seem th

Steve, If you are restoring legacy backup into an RSG... you do NOT need to use the "Restore Into" dialog box. The "Restore Into" dialog box (right-click) is only used for VSS backups. For Legacy restores into the RSG, you only need to have the RSG defined with the proper databases added and the

Steve. While performing restore into the Recovery Storage Group, you want to ensure that you add the database for the SG and MS that you are trying to restore to your RSG. You do those steps with the Exchange management console; after creating the RSG, right-click on it and select Add database

David, I used to think that sharing disk and tape on the same HBA was only FUD spread to make you buy the bigger server. I used mixed disk and tape on windows servers from HP, Dell and IBM for years without a hitch. However, within the last 12 months I had a customer with 4 IBM Xseries boxe

Hi Buddy, I'm afraid I have to disagree somewhat. You've only described the "fullvm" backup option, and that's not what most people use, at least on Windows. The TSM default behaviour is actually to back up individual files from each guest (windows) to each node set up for that guest. Doing

Every time we snapshot a VM, we have the option of doing the entire farm or just a single vm. When we do a single VM, we are getting the entire machine, not just what changed. We use the B/A client to get the individual file level changes. If we dump the entire farm, we get snapshots for every m
