I would rather check out www.tsmmanager.com I use this product for the last 3 years and it is really good. You can down load trial for a month.. Looked at TSM studio. Just as bulky and cumbersome as IBM's attempts at reporting.. Don't know when IBM will ever attempt to get the reporting side of T

Or, if you want to be able to access your TSM monitoring from anywhere in the world, while still allowing the collection of historical data, granular analysis and a nice interface both for reporting and operation: http://www.debriefingsoftware.com/ I've worked with TSM Manager, ServerGraph and

Zoltan, Is your database/logs on separate disks and separate HBAs from your filedevclass disks and are the disk HBAs separate from tape HBAs? Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, MD. (410) 580-7491 Whatever you can do or believe you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power a

Correct. This machine has 8-internal 600GB 15K drives. The OS and DB are on one pair of mirrored drives. The log and archlog share the rest of the internal drives in a raid-10 (I think) array plus leaving extra space to DB expansion (one server I plan to migrate to these new 6.2 servers has

In reference to these recommendations, this is what one of my SAN folks said: If "increasing the queue depth for the individual disks" is something you can do on a CLARiiON, it's not something I'm familiar with. On the HBA (and if you can), you would do that from the host side (like with SanSurfe

for AIX: lsattr -l hdiskX -> look foor the queue_depth field values between 20 and 64 make sense, 128 in some extreme cases chdev -l hdiskX -a queue_depth=Y (but only if the vg is off-line) I found that some drives only support a queue_depth of 1... in that case, you found your bottleneck. On

There should be queue depth settings for individual disks and for the HBA on the server - not on the Array. The sum of the Disk settings should not exceed the setting for the HBA. By EMC voodoo I meant the EMC management application that allows you to monitor the performance of the array - I'm no

Think of it this way Paul. (and please excuse me if I pitch this at too low a level) You are trying to create an offsite point of consistency every day. So, you run your backups overnight, then copy the data to your copypool. At this point you should create a DB backup - I prefer to use the cla
