Hello TSMers, or more precisely, the intersection between the TSMers and WINDOWSers I spent the last 24 hours struggling with the ASR bare metal recovery process with W2K3 and TSM. Got some good things, and some strange things which I would like to share/comment, and also seek for some

Hi Paul, Have you try ASR and Citrix? Now you got problems... But there is BMR software that is made for more advance environment that IBM recommends. Talk to your local IBM rep for more information. Thanks Christian -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Dont commercialize this list pls! It wont solve Pauls ASR problems to use other products. Instead, maybe you should try to put some effort in helping him... Slipstreamed installation media with ASR recovery works fine, even if you have different boot controllers. That worked with ASR before

This sounds like APAR IC47950. If so, then until a fix is available, you can just update the volumes in question to scratch status via 'upd libv'. Regards, Bill Bill Kelly Auburn University OIT 334-844-9917 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/16/06 7:52 AM I recently upgraded to 5.3.2.2 server level, about

Hi Leigh! We also choose a VTL solution (EMC's DL700) over a SATA box with a file device class because IBM couldn't come up with a reference site of similar size (180 TB) with a file device class. The only statement we could get from IBM was: It will most likely work... By the way, we are very

Fulls vs. incrementals for TSM DB

I'm soliciting comments about my thinking re: possibly doing incrementals of the TSM DB instead of some of the daily fulls I'm doing now. I'm braced for tomatoes, so fire away. :) My big DB2 backup customers are going through the exercise of measuring How frequently do we really need to do

Allen - The elevated number of tapes would be the biggest issue... That poses more of a burden on your scratch supply. There's also more jeopardy for recovery if one of the incrementals is missing at recovery time. In human terms, it's also more confusing at recovery time to deal with more than

We don't used all-local at all in ours. Insteady we just put DOMAIN C: or DOMAIN C: D: depending on how many local (non cluster) disks you have. The only time we've ever had the local backup incorrectly backup the cluster disks was when we forgot and left ALL-LOCAL in the dsm.opt for the local
