tsm 5.3/5.4 server-to-server compatibility

2007-05-01 Thread Richard Rhodes
We are having discussions about upgrading to TSM v5.4. The question of compatibility of server-to-server communications came up, and whether we have to upgrade all tsm instances at the same time or can we roll through them upgrading one at a time. In researching this, I became confused (common

Ramifications of turning client compression on?

2007-05-01 Thread Joni Moyer
Hello All! I am considering turning client compression on for our Lotus Notes Domino and Oracle servers. What should be looked at/considered before client compression is turned on? How do you monitor the impact of turning client compression on? Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

The first question I would ask is why are you doing this? If you hope to reduce the amount of TIME it takes to do a backup, you won't. If you hope to reduce the amount of DISK SPACE in your disk pools, you will, but at what cost. In almost all cases (I don't say all because words like all or

Joni, You should be taking some how an online backup of the Notes nsf files and the Oracle databases. The nsf files won't compress at all, so you won't gain any reduction in used space on the disks/tapes where the backups end up. And with an olnine backup of Oracle, either directly to TSM

I am going to weigh in on this one. Client compression can work great, depending on the kind of problems you are trying to solve, and if you do it right. Here was our situation: I recently took on responsibility for a TSM environment with 1 shared library with 14 tape drives, 6 TSM AIX servers,

My first thought after reading this goes back to what the main goal should be in any TSM environment: How are your restores affected? Will you still be able to meet your SLAs for restore times (especially a full restore)? That is an area that is often overlooked until it is too late. IMO, too

Something else to be aware of when using client compression: When client compression is used, tape volume utilization might appear low. This is because the data is already compressed by the time it gets to tape. Hence the tape utilization will probably appear closer to the tape's native capacity
