Hi, I have RS/6000 SP 2 wide node with AIX 4.3.3 running SAP R/3 4.0B with Informix 7.24UC3. I backup the informix database using TSM version 3.7.0 with Tivoli Data Protection for Informix (TDPI) version 3.7.0.
I am thinking of upgrading the TSM to 4.1 / 4.2 . I was also thinking of TDPI upgradation. However it requires Informix upgrade to 7.3X which is not possible immediately. Hence I am thinking of upgrading my TSM to 4.1 / 4.2 I have two queries :- * As I can not upgrade my TDPI, will my existing TDPI ( version 3.7 ) will work with TSM version 4.1 / 4.2 * I backup Informix database using ON-Bar utility supplied by Informix with the help of TSM 3.7.0 and TDPI version 3.7.0. Present database size is around 240 GB and full database backup takes around 4 hrs. using a single 3590 E11 drive. I want to reduce my backup window to 2 - 2.5 hrs. Hence thinking of having parallel backup using multiple drives i.e. when ON-Bar command "onbar -b -w -L 0" is issued, two tapes should be picked up on two separate 3590 E11. Is it possible to achieve this with existing TSM 3.7.0 and if yes then how to do it. If no, is it possible with TSM 4.1 / 4.2 with TDPI 3.7 Regards, Sachin Ganu IBM Global Services (I) Pvt. Ltd.
