9840 devclass configuration

2000-09-27 Thread Robinson, Cris
Hi All - I have searched high and low for references in the TSM manual and on the List server for information regarding the configuration of a devclass for STK 9840 drives. I saw mention in the archives to defining the devclass as ECARTRIDGE. Another of you said that the "Help Define Devclass" sp

2000-10-02 Thread Robinson, Cris
Yes. We are currently starting the evaluation of an IBM 3584 Ultrium LTO. We, like countless others, have exceeded DLT's capacity. So here are some good things about LTO.. media cost: about $85 each drive cost: about $11K each Library cost: Still don't have an exact number to give, but VERY compe

I hope we are not making Del's job a living hell ;-) Most of us are as tired of these claims as Del is and I must say that I have no ill will towards Tivoli and their approach to the backup/restore of Exchange. In all fairness I am always suspicious of other vendors claims that they have mailbox

Hi Giuseppe - I wish I had some insight for you but I'm in a similar boat. We have a 3584 Library and Windows 2000, plus a SAN in between and I have yet to be able to get it to work with TSM 4.1.1. As you know, the readme was poorly written on the LTO portion. We have been in contact with an LTO

I have had the exact same issues with an Ultrium 3584. I'm beginning to believe that it IS magic, unfortunately I did not receive the top hat, wand and cape with my library! _ Cris Robinson Storage Engineering Liberty Mutual Group Portsmouth, New Hampshire mailto:

Is anyone out there backing up Windows 2000 professional clients. We are looking to migrate to 2000 but there are issues with user privileges to files and folders. I have gone through the documentation but have not been able to get TSM to see a user share. It will only see the default \\localmachi

I have a ( stupid) netware restore question

2000-08-10 Thread Robinson, Cris
Ok, I've done quite a few full Netware restores and I have noticed that when I restore an entire volume, (the volume is empty when I start), I get messages that state that the file already exists and it is skipping. Now I don't mean the files that are created when the volume and name space support

Re: Settle an admin schedule argument.

2000-08-22 Thread Robinson, Cris
We do the second scenario. The real argument embedded here is when to run the DB backup. Do you run it before of after the copy pools have been checked out. (I'd like to assume that you also have DRM, but I won't.). If you do have to restore in a DR situation you will be using the copypool tapes.
