Script to display DR Tape Usage

2007-05-02 Thread adrian_compton
Hi All, I am looking for guidance on creating a script to show me the contents, Storagepool, and nodes per DR Tape that ejects each day. Q drmedia is fine to tell me what tapes, but I would like to see what tapes belong to what Storage pool when sent offsite, as I send them offsite for a month,

Re: Ramifications of turning client compression on?

2007-05-02 Thread Schneider, John
John, I heartily agree that everybody wants the fastest restores possible. But a TSM (or any backup design, for that matter), is always a series of compromises between minimizing daily processing time and media, while still achieving adequate restore times. If money were no

You can get the list of tapes with q drm copy=stg pool and the list of tapes used by a given node by ( not quite what you asked for ) q nodedata node stg=stg pool and build a script around these commands. Gerald Michalak TSM - Certified V5 Administrator ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Ondemand, and tsm retention settings

2007-05-02 Thread Lee, Gary D.
We are setting up an ondemand server. This will use tsm as its primary storage. From what I can glean from the ondemand manuals, it uses an api client to manage its storage. How do I set retention parms in the copygroup for this. The ondeman system uses time only as a determiner of valid data.

Kudos to John Schneider for his cogent presentation for solving a specific problem. I concur with everything he said and will incorporate it into my newly revised response to this. Since his concern was not backup time, but rather efficiencies throughout the system, his points are quite valid.

I think what you are trying to do can't be done. You had a 3584 (or other LTO library) and were using 6 char volsers. Then you got new 3584 and set for 8 char. You checked tapes out of old library and checked into new. TSM still sees as 6 char. Is that what you are saying? If so, can't do.
