Re: alternatives to TSM due to license costs

I am sure most of you have pertaken to this wonderful experience. I don't really want to move away from TSM, but have to provide alternatives to management. Could anyone direct me to where I can begin my search. I have only used TSM my entire time here. What is the industry leader? Any info or documents or links doing a comparison would be helpful. Also, is the license structure the same for other environments as well or is IBM way out of line? I am going to start with EMC's Avamar/Networker.

It looks to me like the files that someone overwrites once or twice lives out in TSM forever, certainly beyond the 90 days I was expecting it to be there. Here are my management classes. Is the unlimited retain extra versions overriding my 90 days in the primary management class ? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Which Tape Technology?
We switched from 8-3590E1A drives and the 3494 librar to 8-3592 drives and a 3584 library and trimmed 6 hrs off backup times. We backup 1.3 tb data per night with 90% going to disk pools and then off to tape. We are also essentially getting the work done using four of the drives. Infrastructure is all 2gb fibre with tape drives connected to 2-9216 cisco's with four drives each. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Rhodes Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 7:57 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Which Tape Technology? Hi Everyone, Currently our tape environment consists of IBM 3494 libraries with 3590H (60gb) drives. It's possible that we may need to greatly expand our environment with some new libraries and drives. This has brought up a discussion about what tape technology we would use. Our environment consists of a mix of large file backups (Oracle databases), small file backups (Netware servers) and lots of stuff in between. If we have to do this, I really can't see purchasing more 3590H drives with cartridges that are only 60gb. I would think we would want to go to the newest 3592 drives or LTO2/LTO3. What are your thoughts/comments/experiences with . . . . . 1) Given our mix of large and small file backups, would LTO tape drives work as well as our current 3590's? 2) Does anyone have any experience using IBMs newest 3592 tape drives? 3) If LTO, is LTO3 the way to go, or stick with older LTO2? 4) Or, should we stick with 3590 drives? With any of the new tape drives, I'm concerned with throughput issues. The newest drives (3592 and LTO3) are so fast that I wonder if it becomes a problem keeping data streaming to them. The capacity is great, but if I can't keep them spinning I wonder if the new drives could cause more problems than they solve. Of course, another option would be a VTL or just local DISK on the TSM server. We've done some initial pricing of some configurations (tape libraries/drives/tapes, disk, and vtl) and so far tape is the least expensive. Just looking for others experiences with this kind of decision . . . . Thanks!

Re: EMC CELERRA backup options - need feedback
We have about 3tb on Celerra and backed up using CIFS shared out to two windows servers and have each unix host backing up their own NFS.

I also did not want to dedicate a tape drive. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 9:55 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: EMC CELERRA backup options - need feedback I am looking for information/guidance/suggestions/sanity-checks on my current project involving backing up an EMC CELERRA NAS. Originally, I was told to approach this as an NDMP backup. The more we look at the drawbacks/limitation of TSM NDMP backups vs what we need to be able to do with the backups, we are looking at alternative methods for backups. Our scenario for the NAS is going to be like this: 1. 300GB to start - up to 3TB. 2. Multiple different clients, both real servers (Windows and *NIX) and virtual server connections 3. Lots of workstations connecting to the NAS via AD group policies/virtual server mountpoints to redirect their My Documents to the NAS. We need granularity of control over who can restore what from the TSM backups. The NDMP method doesn't seem to be able to handle this. We need to perform offsite backup copies (i.e. DR, audit requirements) which the NDMP method makes painful (snapshots..backing up twice).

Database restore
Seeking help on restoring a database from a file instead of a tape drive in a lab. We do not have a library or drives in our lab, but I wanting run our DR scripts to restore from a NFS and have the database to test. I have a good backup to NFS and a planfile. I cannot get the restore to look at the NFS for the database, but instead it continues to look for tape. I have defined the devclass and set the directory in the device.configuration.file. Any suggestions of help appreciated. TSM 5.1.8 on Solaris 8.

Part of those steps is tying the virtual library and drives to an HBA on a host (TSM Server). Once that is done your TSM server will see the library, drives and tapes that you are virtualizaing as a real library, drives and tapes. So from the TSM perspective you configure things just as if they were real. We set up 4 virtual STK L700's with 20 drives each on our CDL. On the TSM server the adsmscsi driver is controlling the library. We installed the latest Native IBM LTO drivers for the drives. We configured everything in TSM just as if it were a real library right down to running the label libv command.
