Re: DP for SQL Server backup file size

Hi Dell! Jus one additional question: If I cannot set a maxsize to control the size of a DP for SQL backup file, how can I prevent a SQL Server backup from pinning the TSM recovery log? One of our DP for SQL clients is backing up a very large SQL database and it's running for several hours. Because

5.4 AIX API client install oddities

Hi, I'm experiencing some strange inconsistencies when trying to install the 5.4.3.3 API client on AIX 5.3 LPARS in a P550 where I'm trying to backup a TPC DB2 database. On some instances the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin64 directory is created, and on these machines the documented process res

Re: DP for SQL Server backup file size

Hi Eric, Have you considered using the "/STRIPes=n" option? It allows you to break up the single stream of bytes into "n" stripes on different parallel sessions. Thanks, Del "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" wrote on 02/03/2010 04:58:48 AM: > [ima

Virtual TSM

Thanks for the info! That's typical of vendors.. any excuse to not support their own product. Although I can't say I have ever needed to use the support but would be handy if it came to it. The VM guest would be hosted on a VMware ESX Server 3i. So if I did virtualise it and had a tape library

Re: Virtual TSM

"Typical of vendors not to support their own product.." !! A little harsh, I think. TSM works in a very complex environment, and people who use (that's us) it try all kinds of tricks. Some corner cases doubtless get exposed, where support rightly refuses to help. Lindsay Mo

Re: DP for SQL Server backup file size

Hi Del! I could advice that to our SQL Server department because running multiple streams could improve performance, but would that prevent the backup from pinning the TSM recovery log? Kind regards, Eric van Loon -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.ed

Re: DP for SQL Server backup file size

Eric, If the backups are running for a shorter period of time, I assume that would help. If not, can you place a call with IBM support? Thanks, Del "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" wrote on 02/03/2010 08:54:05 AM: > [image removed] > > Re: DP for

Forcing schedules to use specific port

I need to force schedule initiation to only use port 1500/1501. I thought I knew how to do this, but have not been successful. I thought by hard-coding the IP address and port into the node definition, the server would only use that port to communicate with the node. What is the best way to do

AC Performance?

Hi Everyone, I have a Admin Center installed on the same machine as TSM Reporting. It works OK, but most of the time does AC not respond on few commands such "Connect to a New Server" or "Health Monitor", and sometimes is the web totally dead. I can verify that AC doesn't even try to connect to t

Re: Forcing schedules to use specific port

IBM Technote 1083673 should help explain the mechanism. Always keep in mind the effects of Schedmode and CAD usage.

HSM over NAS.

I work for Rocket Software / Arkivio and we have just such a product. Utilizes FPolicy for NetApp and CFM for Celerra to do Tag (Stub) migration on each for both CIFS and NFS, along with most any other source platform that presents CIFS or NFS volumes to the network. Can migrate to (virtually)

Re: TSM Disaster Recovery

Hi Grigori, Thank you for your share. But What I need actually is the information of the feauture of TSM that will do the synchronisation, not disk mirroring but TSM catalog synchronisation. BR, Martin -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On B

Re: Virtual TSM

When the various virtual machine products have something as mature as channel and device drivers that run in usermode, then the time will be right for running a backup server on them. As long as virtual machines are a panacea for can't-run-more-than-one- app-on-a-Windows-instance-sprawl and a way

Re: AC Performance?

Most of the (TEP) java processes I've seen eating an endless helping CPU were those that run out of the TEMS interface. The high tech solution to finding and stopping them: task manager. Such processes could cause ISC/AC to become unresponsive. I wouldn't look to ISC/AC for the problem though, as
