Re: Virtual TSM

I run TSM 6.1.2.0 in a vSphere environment and it runs just fine on Windows 2008, I would recommend giving it two vCPU's if you can because it will fill up 1 vCPU easy. I use a dedupe filepool on SATA storage, no tape attached. I have tried a virtual TSM server with SCSI tape connection on ESX 2

What are folks doing to offload file-level backups from Linux guests running in a VMware/ESX environment? VCB exists for Windows guests, but only supports image backups for Linux guests. Thanks. ..Paul -- Paul ZarnowskiPh: 607-255-4757 Manager, Storage Services

Tapedrive 3592 E06 speed of 160MB/sec

Hi, In our TSM environment we use two locations that are about 30 km away from each other. On both sides we use TSM servers and 3592 tapedrives. We use SAN and DWDM between the two locations. Writing data from a TSM server to a tapelibrary that are on the same location have the speed according the

My first guess is you are crossing a 1GB or slower link. Is the DWDM aggregating multiple links to the get the 2.5GB? If it is your data may only be flowing down 1 link at whatever speed that link is running. Also, I think a 2Gb/sec connection is closer to 200MB/sec. Andy Huebner -Origina

If I had to guess, I'd say you were runing out of BBCredits on the ISL links between the two datacenters due to the distance. BBCredits are basically buffers on the link. It takes time for a packet to travel the 30km. If you don't have enought credits to allow enought in-transit packets you loose

Re: How to verify that the TSM Client Data is encrypted in the TSM Server

2010-02-10 Thread Fred Johanson
To update. We see encryption in the ActLog for AIX only on 5.5.2; nothing for either LINUX or SOLARIS. Encryption is verified by the trace, even on some old, no-supported versions. Users certainly would want an easy way to verify on their own, without having to bother busy TSM admins. Thanks
