Hi, this is not a question of TSM but the capabilities of the drives themselves. A LTO-4 drive can read and write LTO-4 and LTO-3 media, and even read LTO-2 media. As long as you don't change the default format definition for a LTO-4 drive in the device-class, the drive will happily accept any of

TSM and XIV

2010-09-29 Thread Remco Post
Hi all, I'm currently testing TSM 5.5.4 on AIX 5.3 with an IBM XIV box. When I use dd or other tools to copy data off the disk to tape (LTO4), we get quite a good performance, 100 MB/s or better. Even when backing up data on the XIV via shared memory directly to tape, we're quite happy, we can re

2010-09-29 Thread Bruce T. Harvey
the only thing I remember from working on a test using DB2 is that you need to carefully match the data read and write sizes to the XIV's sizes to make sure the reads and writes happen in 'one go' ... no double-taps to get or put data. that and making sure your fibre paths are separate (as always)

Something we have noticed is that when an AIX server is zoned to the same FC port(s) on the storage device as a windows or Linux server, the AIX server tends to have reduced throughput when both servers are accessing the storage. It appears that the AIX is given a lower priority of service. I hav

That is my practice. This is a case of multiple zones pointing to the same shared storage where the LUNs are masked on the storage. zoneA - AIX_initiator, stgport1, stgport2 zoneB - Lin_initiator, stgport1, stgport2 zoneC - Win_initiator, stgport1, stgport2 etc. etc. Neil Strand Storage Engineer

That depends on what you mean by 'backup.' If it's just a list of files, tcopy or dd could work. However, if you are trying to take a system image like a mksysb file and trying to create a bootable tape, you'll need to put some extra, undocumented files in three different filesets prior to the ba
