IMHO one of the things you need to consider is how long the migration processes will take. I have done that and use collocation groups already so I understand the ramifications of this, but those are not my questions. My questions are more specific to restores and was wondering if a single

co-locate by filespace

2008-04-21 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.
I have not tested this so am wondering out loud how communications work. If 'a' server is set up to co-locate by filespace how does that affect the backup if at all. All data here goes to disk pool first so I am guessing nothing changes there and don't think there are any things I need to

We are still trying to get our minds around the crap we were sent by the auditors. What we were told in meetings and what actually happened turned out to be 180 out, and basically must have had the same experience. The good news here is some idiot already has brought in NBU, which has caused all

How about this. Being in an organization that brought in another system, netbackup, it has confused things to no end. There are a lot of things I could say but typing on a blackberry prevents that, and keeps my blood pressure down. So my main comment is the grass isn't always greener just

q occ vs q fi

I am finding an interesting phenomenon where Q fi nodename will show a filespace and q occ nodenameshows nothing and q fi and q occ, not specifying a nodename, returns different results. I can use admin center and it will show the filespace for a node when q fi or q occ shows nothing. TSM

ttdpsql in a cluster environment

2008-03-19 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.
Perhaps others have already dealt with this. Is there a way to create a single .cmd file that can be used for one schedule with multiple sqlservers in a cluster environment so it will run properly no matter what instance is on any one node or may have failed to a node it normally does not live

seemless migration to new schedule

I've never done this before and I don't think I've seen it discussed so I'll throw this out there. I was wondering if there are any ramifications when switching nodes to a new backup schedule. Meaning is there a chance that the nodes will be missed? I ask this because I have seen nodes added to a

We have a very old Windows NT 4 server that was using Client 5.1.5.15 and an old version of TDPSql that just crashed. The TDPSql version I'm not sure of but was hoping the log files from the client will tell me. I believe it goes way back to 2.2.1, maybe earlier. Not sure if anyone knows if log

No replies on the first post so let's try this. We have NT4 back up on a box running sqlserver but the guy did not name the sql server the name it was backing up under. My guess is this is why we are seeing nothing looking to restore the db's. Having never done this, how can I restore a database

You probably already saw this, but just in case... Nope, missed it completely actually. Since I have a few more questions might as well keep going. In a cluster environment it looks like the software is installed on a local disk. With an active/active cluster, and not really being concerned

There needs to be duplicate dsm.opt files on each host in the cluster. 'Clusternode yes' should be in each dsm.opt. 'SQLServer' with the SQL cluster network/instance name should be noted in each tdpsql.cfg. I went through this very problem last week, I was missing the SQLServer name from the
