TSM 5.3 client support

2005-06-08 Thread Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM
Hi *SM-ers! We are forced to downgrade our server level on our new TSM Server environment because the hardware we are about to use (EMC DL700) is not 5.3 certified. We are already using several 5.3.0 clients, so in the new environment we will backup to a 5.2.4.0 server (on AIX) with 5.3.0.0

Hi Eric, In response to your query is 5,2 server with 5,3 clients supported. This is a general answer because we are not yet on 5.3 IBM has always stated with TSM that one level down is supported and I have seen nothing to contradict this. It would make it very difficult to upgrade if this was

Hi Brian, I wish I had a magic formula to tell you what to do, but there is none. My suggestion is to create a raid5 raidset for the db/log, put your db/log onto it and run an expiration and db backup to see if you get the performance you need. If it's not good enough, then blow away the

If you've got enough disks for it you also might want to think about a RAID 0+1 for the DB/Log volumes, as this would give much better write performance than RAID5. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/8/2005 6:38:45 AM Hi Brian, I wish I had a magic formula to tell you what to do, but there is none. My

Richard, Frank I really would like to use RAID 0+1, unfortunately this would waste too much of the precious space I'm needing for primary pools. Richard's idea seems to be the right one : I'll try running some performance tests (expiration, db backup) on several possible settings and opt for the
