What is the nature of the data that you're backing up here? Large files/objects or lots of smaller files/objects? The classic recommendation for SAN backups direct to tape is that it's best used only for larger objects (eg database backups, TDPs or disk image etc) to ensure optimal streamin

What are your device class settings for the 'LTO4CLASS' device class? `q devcl LTO4CLASS f=d` might show that your device class configuration isn't enabling compression at the moment. It also depends completely upon the nature of the data being stored on tape - already compressed data (e.g. media

Solaris TSM Server and ZFS for raw partitions

Guys, I'm scratching around trying to find out if TSM/ZFS play ball when it comes to raw volumes for DB and Log volumes. The published IBM recommendation for Solaris DB, Log and Stgpool volumes is still to use raw partitions for 5.5, but I'm not seeing anything specific in the way of support for

Immediate quick thought is that whilst much of the client backup activity for a TSM Server may well be overnight, most TSM Servers perform their not-insignificant essential housekeeping during the day which, depending upon the load of your TSM Server, may be a considerable drain on the system's I/O
