Hi Rich, We have three sites with GPFS and where two of them are we backing up the filesystem with mmbackup. It seems to be OK but we had an issue where GPFS TSM database got corrupted because of strange filenames in the Filesystem where even Linux couldn't read the files. But on top of that does mmbackup works fine for us. But make sure you design your GPFS Filesystem correct. We have all meta data on SSD disks and that makes a hugest different in performance when we backup the data. But we have over 35 million object in one partition and that could really heavy when we run policy based backup.
Thanks Christian Svensson -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Rick Adamson [mailto:[email protected]] Skickat: den 1 februari 2013 16:48 Till: [email protected] Ämne: GPFS & TSM 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
