Could you send my your scripts? -----Original Message----- From: Chetan H. Ravnikar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 15, 2002 10:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New and probably a simple question....
Micheal here is what I do, I have about close to 55 filers and I could not afford TDP for NDMP and also that my TSM servers are running 4.2.20 What I have down here works only it you have an NIS enviroment 1. I force a snapshot manually on all the filers at the volume leve from admin host nightly (over writes the previous one) 2. export the snapshot via NIS as a remote map (say auto.nacbkp) ex:- /nacbkup/<filername>.<vol-name>.tsm.nightly0 3. Use proxy TSM clients to mount the above NIS maps via CRON and then send the data over the network on to the media server (TSM) Now that I have nearly 100 volumes puttogether, I distribute the load on 4 to 5 proxy TSM clients. If you need I can send your the shell scritps on how this is done hope this helps. BTW I also read that the TDP for NDMP is only supported on TSM 5.1 and also does support for filers with direct attached tape-libs Cheers..
