Eucalyptus backups: Any suggestions?

Hello All, We have been tasked to protect (i.e. backup) a local Eucalyptus installation. Anyone on the list doing anything similar with TSM? Backing up Eucalyptus doesn't seem to be a straightforward thing to do. Thanks in advance. Marc Taylor

VM backup question

Hi to all I have a VMware farm with around 300 VM machines and I try to figure the best way to configure the backup with TSM for VE V7.1.4 . 1. Need to backup for all the machines the “Hard disk 1” 2. Our structure don’t let us to do it with VMfolder , think about domain.vmfull

Re: When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

Hi Zoltan, We too have seen poor performance on random access DISK volumes where multiple volumes are on the same underlying RAID set. A few things I've noticed: * TSM is ignorant of the underlying filesystem structure. This means it will write new data and migrate/backup old data from the

Following up on this thread, the 7.1.1 Administrator's Guide PDFs are now available in IBM Knowledge Center at http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.tsm.doc/r_pdfs_tsm.html This is in addition to where they were available before, in the .zip file and on the Tivoli

Re: When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

We definitely will be looking at flash for our next TSM server refresh, but unfortunately that's still 2-3 years out. When we bought our last round of servers, SSDs were still prohibitive for the size of database we have (~1.5TB). On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 04:34:15PM +, Alford, Ben wrote: > If

Re: When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

If you never move ANYthing else to Flash, move the TSM DB there. As someone else mentioned, it is like a religious experience. Our expirations went from 3 hours to 10 minutes. Ben Alford  IT Manager, Office of Information Technology The University of Tennessee -Original Message-

Re: When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

I would actually keep DB and logs separate, avoid putting the DB on RAID-5 due to its high write penalty. We have our DB on 15K RPM SAS disks in 3x 4-disk RAID-10 sets. The logs we keep on RAID-1 collocated with the OS, since it's pretty low load and all sequential I/O. On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at

Re: Upgrade server from 6.3 to 7.1

This is what we had to do too (shrink logs to 50% before upgrade and then grow after the procedure). It tried to double logs and then I believe that it forgot about the mirrored location because we were out of space. --- David Nixon System

Re: How many DB2 users should there be?

Thanks Remco, that's a reasonable response. In other words, the number of processes will be directly related to how many processes/sessions are active at any one time. Looking at a graph of several hours of activity, it appears that when my TSM 7.1.3 server is idle, there are on average 65

Re: Upgrade server from 6.3 to 7.1

Hi all, You must have free space in file system where the active log is located. There wasn't such a need with TSM 6.3. See : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21677011 -- Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي Erwann SIMON - Mail original - De: "Gary Lee"

Hmmm - does that mean I need to reduce my log sizes? All of my systems have a 128GB filesystem just for active log. Most of them are ACTLOGSIZE 120GB On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 10:51 AM, Lee, Gary wrote: > Yes. > > Make sure that you have at least double the size of your active and

Re: When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

Zoltan, I think your speed problem is not so much in your primary storage pool, but in your database and log filesystems. Are you using TDP for Virtual Environments for block-level image backups? Do you have deduplication enabled? Both features will grind away at your log filesystems. In my
