Yep 594GB Vols, @ 1-4 Vols per pool, so we have 594GB to 2TB TSM Pools. Also I forgot to mention we are writing to 3592 Tape Drives connected to 2GBs SAN ports. Regards, Charles -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Bullock Sent:

AW: Working SATA Disk Pool Configuration

We use Clariion ATA for diskonly backup in the following configuration: 2 Clariions on different locations, each with 15 Raidgroups 4+1 in Raid 5. (Raid 5 because of disktype vols with random access) Each Raidgroup has 1188 Gbyte that are used as 2 LUN's with 594 GB each. Within each lun there

Thanks for the clarification. We too have the 3592 drives, so our setups are ~almost~ identical so your numbers give me a good ballpark on real world throughput I might expect. I appreciate you sharing that info with us. Ben -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Archive Verification

Hi Do any of you recall your archive tapes from offsite and verify that the data contained on them can be restored?.. If so how often and what tests do you run to verify that data? Many thanks Jon Enterprise Storage Admin KBR

Re: Archive Verification

TSM will call for the copypool tape containing the data if the original tape has a media error. So depending on the quality of your tape and their failure rates... We keep our backups /archives on different locations in libraries, so they are regularly used to store new data and

5.2.2 expiration problem

We recently upgraded our MVS/OS390 to ZOS 1.4 and our ZOS TSM Server to 5.2.2. When doing an expiration I noticed the following error messages which are now filling up my Sever Activity Log. I could not find anything at the Support Center except something relating to an AIX system. Has anyone

Re: Archive Verification

We use 3590's and LTO, with copies onsite and offsite. So I don't worry about the reliability of the tape so much as I worry about damage due to bad handling. And I get nervous about the microcode of old tapes being too different from new tapes/drives - which is probably an unnecessary worry, but

Re: Label reading problems 3584 library

Hi Richard, In looking at the Atape.fixlist file, I note level entry: 9.2.9.0 Add SMIT option to set 3584 TSM barcode length for Ultrium 1/2 media You might look into your AIX SMIT and see if yours presents that capability. I am still looking but didn't find anything. Can you give me an

Re: Archive Verification

Do you have many tapes that age offsite for two years? I just checked and we have 1800 offsite tapes (3590s) and only 4 that are older than two years. We do reclaims on copypools at 60% reclaimable. David [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/12/05 12:46 PM We use 3590's and LTO, with copies onsite and

Re: Archive Verification

No, we have very few; avg. less than 1 per week that has aged to 2 years. And they are almost always Archive tapes, not backups (which is what Jon asked about). I think the age will vary enormously depening on how different installations are using TSM; whether your archives are set to expire

Tape Usage Forecasting

Greetings, This is my first posting to this list, so please forgive me if this is not the right type of question or the right group to ask. I am currently a Client Manager for a large corporation that uses TSM as its backup solution. TSM seems to be working very well for my client, with one

Re: Tape Usage Forecasting

Jim, First of all welcome to the list. Next this is the right place for questions like you have. My first thought is why are you using so many tapes. I would want to first make sure that your TSM environment is running properly. Where are all the tapes? Are they going off site and never

Re: Tape Usage Forecasting

Hm. If YOU know they need to buy thousands of more tapes, how did you come up with that number?!? TSM can't forecast anything - a human has to do that. TSM can't know, for example, that your customer is planning to add daily backups for a 100GB Exchange data base. Or that the TSM administrator

Re: Tape Usage Forecasting

I have always done manual forecasting with Excel. The first thing to get a handle on is your TSM growth rate - the TSM accounting records are very useful for this. Another problem with TSM is that every environment is so different. Here is a vanilla example of how you could do things: 1. Total

Re: Tape Usage Forecasting

I second the recommendation to look at Servergraph, http://www.servergraph.com. Not only will its trending components help you forecast the need for more tapes, its various other charts will help you determine how the tapes are being used and tons of other info about your TSM installation.
