Hi, You can't do that. But if you install CBMR on your Linux box and on your Windows box then can you backup Linux files and restore them to Windows file system via the TSM API. But that's the only way as I know. Best Regards / Med Vänlig Hälsning Christian Svensson Products Specialist

I would highly recommend dividing that into two pools. This gives you more flexibility in number of reclamation, migration, and backup processes that can be run. The backup and migration can be run concurrently in newer versions of TSM, however you can only run 1 reclamation process at a time.

2008-07-31 Thread Ochs, Duane
That depends more on the number of disks you writing to and the type of san you are using. For instance if you are using an SVC or other virtualization solution your 900 gb may already be striped across more than 30 disks. Then partitioning may not be necessary. If you are using a direct connect

Hi I would stick to 100GB diskpool volumes as many as you require. Its not necessary to split into different LUNS as the SAN takes care of itself and it is RAID 5 hopefully. I have learnt to keep to smaller logical units for every thing in TSM. Makes for better management and migration etc.

What I've seen in the past, in general, is that inbound work looking for a place to store data will bind to a defined TSM volume that is not currently in use. Now, knowing that volume name is an internal key within TSM you can prevent excessive TSM DB lock contention by breaking that storage pool
