Tivoli has sold so few copies of this that they have no justification to develop the other options right now. I need the ESS/Solaris option. Maybe the prevalence of SAN now will change this story. I will talk to the product development manager again tomorrow about this issue. -Original

Joe, If you are talking about the default management class of a policy domain this is a reasonable SQL statement, but if you are trying to figure out what management classes are being used by a client that requires an entire scan of the backups table which would take forever unless you limit it

Do you see messages in the log saying it retries 4 times? If not your CHANGINGRETRIES is not what you think it is. If you do see it, then they need to slow down how often they update the file or you need to put it on faster disk, faster network connection, etc so that you can save it faster.

Tivoli is going to deliver Check Sum support in a future release. But, you have no way to read the tape back to verify the tape is good based on my understanding of the solution provided. The checksum is verified during the restore process or a copy from one storage pool to another. So, if you

Re: LANFREE Backups - Feedback?: TDP for Solaris/EMC/Oracle, how it works

I do not know how this perception got going, but I will see if I can straighten it out. The TDP for Solaris/EMC for Oracle has nothing to do with the TSM Server OS. The TDP runs on the Solaris machine and uses either the LAN client to send the data over the network to the TSM server or the SAN

When you use RMAN, RMAN is totally in charge of the objects. Unfortunately, the Oracle Media Management API is limited in what it does. It basically announces an object to the interface provided by the backup vendor and pours the data down the pipe. This subject has been discussed a lot on the

The database is blocked at 4K. I doubt what you are saying is true. Simply, the database disk will never run at 33MB/sec. It really depends on how your tape and disk are configured. -Original Message- From: Michael, Monte [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 10:26

No, you cannot without creating a mess. In fact the way the mount of a scratch works is not by volume. There is a category mask set for the tape drive and the library is just told to pick a tape in the category and mount it in the drive. The privates could be the same I suppose, but it would

I guess I do not understand why you made the 5 SAN clients SAN if you are not going to go directly to tape. How big is the Exchange Server. 2 Hours sounds like a long time for SAN attached 3590s. The only possible way to do this may be with SANErgy, but I cannot think of way to share the disk
