mmbackup is part of GPFS, not TSM. There's some docs here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clresctr/vxrx/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.cluster.gpfs.v3r5.0.7.gpfs100.doc%2Fbl1adm_mmbackup.htm We experimented using mmbackup, but found it didn't scale well and had some reliability issues. We ended up partitioning our data up into separate directories, and backing those up as separate filespaces using the standard dsmc. That worked much better. -- Skylar Thompson ([email protected]) -- Genome Sciences Department, System Administrator -- Foege Building S046, (206)-685-7354 -- University of Washington School of Medicine On 02/ 1/13 07:48 AM, Rick Adamson wrote:
Our AIX admins are building a multiple node GPFS cluster and mention the desire to use the "mmbackup" command to accomplish backups to TSM. In reading over the manual I find no mention of it, but searching IBM support there are plenty of docs which I just started reading. My question is what is the preferred way to do this amongst those who have dealt with it? Win 2008 with TSM Server 6.3 AIX 7.1 with BA client 6.3 All comments welcome.... Thanks ! ~Rick
