Slightly OT: ProtecTIER question

2010-08-26 Thread Steven Langdale
Guys A quick one, It's been a while, so I can't remember. Creating a new Virtual Library on a ProtecTIER, is that non-disruptive to existing Virtual libraries? If it makes a difference, it's the latest and greatest v2.4.1.0 Thanks Steven

TSM Operation Reporting

Hi All, Is there a free tool available which replaces the TSM Operational Reporting? And I don't mean the TSM Reporting & Monitoring (which is just a bunch of crap imho). I know about tools like TSM Reporter (PLCS) and TSMManager, but I just want a free tool which is quick and dirty and does

Been looking through the information center and publications centers. The only mac documentation I can find is for client v5.5. Is there documentation for any later version of the client? If so, could some one please send me a link? Thanks for the help. Gary Lee Senior System Programmer Ball St

I had the old release 2.2.0.0 creating additional vtl was not impact the existing one. But on the host side (TSM server side) it is highly likely to reboot the server to discover the newly created vtl. Pawlos -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.e

FWIW, You can get OR to work OK with V6. You just have to customize it by removing the queries that go after tables that don't exist or aren't the same. Look in the activity log after you try running OR against your V6 server, you can see which queries fail and why. W -Original Message

Tuning 6.2 on AIX

Hello. We are in the process of upgrading our TSM-servers on AIX(5,.3/6.1) to TSM 6.2. We have always used raw devices for disk stgpools, db and logs but with 6.2 jfs2 is the rule. Any tip on mount options? Should cio be used anywhere? I understand that the application will take care of caching f

Hello, I'm looking for anyone who is using SQL-Backtrack for Sybase and Data Domain/TSM? We are replacing our Virtual Tape libraries and physical tape library with Data Domains. One here onsite and another at our DR location. We have setup the Data Domain to emulate VTL. We are experiencing p

We experienced the same thing in our testing. The more redundancy you have the better de-dup works :) As soon as you compress your dumps you are not going to be able to de-dup as well as uncompressed data. I have yet to see a de-dup product that is cost effective with compressed files. -O

This is a common problem with deduplication, and someone at EMC should have told you this before you bought. You should not/cannot run compression on your backups before they get to the dedupe system. It messes most of them up. As to finding someone with your config? Good luck with that. Data

We used to use SQLBacktrack with Falconstor. Regardless of the specific configuration, the problem is obviously compression/encryption doesn't mix with deduplication. You're best bet would be to speed up your backup with something other than compression. 10gb NICs or a lan-free configuration if

Curtis, >> Data Domain has good market share, but very few DD customers use VTL. Really? That surprises me a little (i.e., the marginalised VTL usage) and isn't necessarily representative of the TSM customers I've spoken to or worked with using DDRs, many of whom still use the VTL functionality

For the record, here's a link to the GlassHouse white paper - it is very good but, as Shawn pointed out, rather old now and quite a few of the figures are out of date (I should disclose I'm doing some Data Domain/TSM work for GlassHouse at the moment): http://pdf.edocr.com/6cb6a7b31a5be6dd526302c6

The last time I checked <10% of DD customers use the VTL option. I'm willing to bet that 60-80% of those are TSM customers. The TSM folks I've talked to seem to prefer using VTL over file-type devices, which may explain that. The rest of the world (except large enterprise customers) tends to pr
