I couldn't see the original posting in this thread, but I'm interested - the only TSM statement I could find in the docs which looks like it might be NFS-related was:
"Tivoli Storage Manager supports the use of remote file systems or drives for reading and writing storage pool data, database backups, and other data operations. Remote file systems in particular may report successful writes, even after being configured for synchronous operations. This mode of operation causes data integrity issues if the file system can fail after reporting a successful write. Check with the vendor of your file system to ensure that flushes are performed to nonvolatile storage in a synchronous manner." (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmai xn.doc/anragd5582.htm#disksub1020) Anyone else seen anything else that addresses NFS support specifically? //DMc -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Rhodes Sent: 04 August 2010 12:27 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] FILE Device class over NFS We don't do this . . .we don't even have a DD (or any other dedup system).
