Hello, A cluster of two servers running MS SQL has to be backed up. The question is how many licenses the customer has to purchase. On my opinion two "Managed System for LAN" licenses for the nodes and a "Managed System for SAN" for the cluster virtual node. The nodes do not have much data to bac

Storage hierarchy works only on primary pools, i.e. you can "flush from disk file to tape" only if both pools are primary. When you create file volumes it is equivalent to losing you storage pool backup. And TSM server recreates the files on next backup. The only way (in current versions) is to ba

Estimated capacity is "estimated". You can define it is 1 MB or 2000 GB. It is just a prediction. When data is actually written and tape end reached TSM changes this value to actual capacity. So do not look to volumes in "Filling" state, look on to "Full" ones. Or you can check (and change but be
