Hello, I´m not sure about it. Meaby,in the same logical partition, you must define X drives for TSM1 and the others for TSM2. Where i work whe have two tsm servers but server 1 is the library manager of server2. Let´s wait for other colleagues answers. Jorge > Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 05:15:08 -

Hi again, I want to avoid to have  TSM Servers  with TLS. Former 3494 library had an option to add categories when we defined the library in TSM, then you also define the category and 3494 was able to distinguish the cartridge among TSM Servers. On the other hand you could join drives to TSM Se

I think he meant disk generically as opposed to a random diskpool. A file pool on disk is fine for long term storage. We use alternate nodes for long-term archives. weekend and month-end. Still trying to push a sane retention policy through Regards, Shawn

Joni, It isn't elegant, and it won't produce a report format, but it should narrow your search down a lot and make a query of the Contents Table a lot lighter: You could try initiating restores of the data to see what tapes are called for. Just check the actlog. Then you could do a select aga

My suspicion is that the legal request is a lawyer's pro forma procedure written in the 1980s for collecting evidentiary information in a data processing environment: "Obtain a list of the tapes upon which the data resides". It's likely that they don't actually care what tapes are involved: th

If you are going to use a filer, EMC doesn't support backups of its NAS devices (that I have run into) except via NDMP dump. Netapp on the other hand (or IBM-branded N-series, which is still a Netapp) supports the -snapdiff api. I just helped a customer convert about 40 hours worth of NDMP dumps
