TSM Webclient security

2011-10-04 Thread Mathieu JOSSE
Hello, I try to secure the TSM web client (CAD) by implementing SSL. It seems that it's not available in 5.5.1 client version and more. Does anyone have success running the web client GUI through "stunnel" or another software? I managed to run the admin server GUI without any worries, but the we

Hi Mathieu, The web client is using 3 TCP ports, and 2 of these port are random ones by default. In order to have it running through a TCP tunnel, you need to define fixed TCP ports in the client options file. See the HTTPPORT and the WEBPORTS client options. Best regards / Cordialement /

I would look into the option of renting a library or buying a refurbished on. I have no idea what kind of capacity we are talking about but you could also migrate to disk (maybe with dedupe) and then migrate back to tape if you happen to have (or be able to rent/borrow) the disk capacity you need.

My understanding is that each core in a TSM server can identify around 60GB of undeduped data per hour. This puts a quad core at about 3-4TB per day of newly undeduped data per day (not running at night). Of course there are differences in CPU architecture and memory/storage as well but IBM say's t

Hi Chad, If you have enough scratch tapes to use reuse delay on Primary Pool it will save you time if a DB corruption happened. But maybe you should have different reuse delay values on Copypool and primary pool? Let's say you only have 1-2 days on Primary Pool in case of the DB need to be reco

How to migrate 3592-E05 formatted tapes to 3592-E06 format

We are buying some 3592-E06 drives to replace the 3592-E05 drives in our 3584 tape libraries. The goal is to store more TB on the cartridges we already have. The 3592-E06 drives can read the E05 format, but they will write in E05 format too unless the tapes are re-formatted in the E06 format. So

Hi Robert, TSM can and will mark a volume as private when a write error is encountered on a scratch volume to prevent reuse. It's worth investigating if that could have been the case. You may find recent cases in the actlog. If you had a defective drive that (possibly) cause this, you could upd

Robert et al; Will updating the device class make the new drives write files to tapes in E06 format which have previously been formatted and written to in E05 format? Filling volumes would then have a mixture of E05 and E06 formats. Will TSM do that? Are the device drivers, or what not, smart e

The other side of this is that with 3rd party deduplicated replication, my offsite copy is rarely more than one hour behind the source copy. Before I moved to this, we would schedule our backup-stg pools to run once a day, and they would have to run several hours before it was in sync. If the

A non-zero reuse delay on your primary pool protects you from a situation where you need to restore your database, but your primary pool tapes are not lost. (Not a full DR situation). If you have a reuse delay of 0, you will still have the data available in the copypool, but if you wanted to get

Not entirely true since you dont have todo backup stgpool as a only resort with TSM 6.2. Since the simultaneous copy feature is now not only available for client, but for server processes, there is nothing saying you have to copy all the data by using backup stgpool. And it's not a matter if it

We were using the copystg feature of the storage pools before, and even then our TSM cycle was growing, growing and eventually passed 24 hours. For us, it wasn't 4 hours vs 1 hour. It was 24+hours+finger crossing vs one hour. We reached the point where we had to kill the backup-stg's and try

Not really sure why you would need +24 hours to handle copying data to your secondary site. With features like: - Copy storage pool feature for client backups - Copy storage pool feature on migration - Normal backup storage pool With the first 2, there shouldnt really be much data left to copy
