TSM Client and Extended Attributes DiskXtender

2009-02-16 Thread Howard Coles
Ladies and Gents, I need to get some confirmation on whether or not the latest TSM client backs up extended attributes or not. We're facing a DiskXtender 6.0 to 6.3 upgrade and we need to backup the extended drive. However, the EMC folks are against using TSM. It was my understanding that TSM

What to do about all the extra copies from RMAN duplex?

2009-02-16 Thread Conway, Timothy
I have set up the extra management classes in my RMAN domain, put the TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_[234] entries into the tdpo.opt files, and am waiting for my DBAs to set BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES to true and restart, and I'm going to have roughly twice as much RMAN data coming from a small selection of my nodes.

Also, you might try redirecting your stdout and stderr to a log file. This is a good troubleshooting practice. ... object=' c:\path with spaces\file.bat c:\temp\file.out 21 ' As Bill mentions, note the use of the single quotes and the double quotes. Alex Paschal

Hello I think, there's an option called SKIPACLUPDATCHECK, which can be used to prevent incr backups just because of changing ACL-infos. Give it a try. Rolf Meyer Storage Consultant PROFI Engineering Systems AGAlexander Födisch schrieb: Hi all, if we change the ownership (chmod/chgrp) or

Perhaps. But what happens when you restore files without the latest ACLs? They're set for a reason, and to not restore the entire file's contents strikes me as rather worthless. -- Mark Stapleton System engineer, CDW -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

If all the ACLs are updated daily I guess thats not a problem, just update them again after the restore :) Or make a script that saves the ACLs before backup to a file and run as a preschedulecmd. Sounds like it could be worth it to avoid unnecessarily backing up 15 TB of data every day. -km

Can you even save ACLs to independent files,and then restore them in a batch? If not, doing so would be more trouble than it's worth. The real question here is *why* 10TB of files is undergoing ACL modified on a daily basis. This sounds like very poor data management practice, or an

Hello Mark, yes, you're right. One of my customers used it because his application changes file attributes without any influence to the file content (it was a video cms) and the GPFS/HSM environment would not work correct without this option. So, you have to decide for yourself. Greetings Rolf

Subfile backup on this big a filesystem would probably be... interesting to restore :) Theres also a 2GB file limit for subfile and with 15TB data I'm guessing that there might be a few files bigger than that. And on Windows I believe that atleast permissions arent restored correctly when using
