Re: for those using VTL

Nice one. I was also curious, and we have some info to share too. 1. For a short term temporary solution we chose Diligent Virtual Tape Facility for Open including ProtecTIER. 2. Hmmm. Not quite. We were promised better data deduplication values, but it is partly our own fault, due to client

Re: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database Mirroring and TDP for SQL

Just for the record, I've had some feedback from IBM 'via the official channels' and the suggestion is that TDP backups and MS SQL 2005 DB mirroring/log shipping should indeed co-exist. The client isn't likely to be testing this side of Easter, but if I hear any feedback from them I'll feed back

Migrating to another vendor's LTO drives - practical experiences?

Hi all, Does anyone have any practical experiences of migrating from a library containing drives from one manufacturer (i.e. HP LTO2) to a library populated with drives from another manufacturer (i.e. IBM LTO3)? Aside from the obvious TSM Device Driver/IBMtape driver changes on the host, the LTO

Prescheduledcmd failed error

Good or bad idea?...offsite disk.

One of my TSM servers is using disk only for onsite pools and tape for offsite. I am considering putting a SAN offsite to mirror my onsite diskpools thereby doing away with tape all together. This server has about 12TB of storage. I have a dedicated fiber link to my offsite location. Is this

Re: Good or bad idea?...offsite disk.

We have two sites. The 2nd site has primary storage, the primary copypools. Both are currently in tape libaries. We do plan to move the primary storage pools to SATA drives on a DS4800. We did try migrateing the copypools to SATA drives but I found the setup very awkward. Primary pools can be

The only thing I could suggest is to make sure you do not have a server side command that runs for all servers in a given domain. Thanks, Tony VanDemark Sr. Storage Engineer TGIS (Thomson Global Information Services) Eagan, MN -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Re: Good or bad idea?...offsite disk.

You wouldnt be able to set up a copypool for the offsite copy it would have to be another onsite pool. You could always try using the devcl type of file and going that route. I would also look at doing the dbbackups as devcl=file. That is what we are looking at doing to reduce the waste of gigs

We are also using Diligent ProtecTier, and are in the process of migrating to Netbackup from TSM :-( As a result we are taking weekly full backups and the hyperfactoring is great.. averaging around 30 to 1 Speed is also good hitting over 200mb/s (running to an EMC clarion) System seems stable

Re: Good or bad idea?...offsite disk.

Lots of thoughts here and in no particular order. 1. Define the volumes rather than using scratch volumes for your file device class pools. No point allowing the system to do this: Define volume stgpool e:\of formatsize=5000 numberofvols=256 This command will format and define 256 volumes of

Re: Prescheduledcmd failed error

OK, so that is your answer: the schedule fails to do a problem in the backup_asr.cmd script. Next up: adjust your TSM configuration to prevent running that script on this system if it isn't supposed to run there, or diagnose the script failure. The first question is, does the script exist on the
