I am not sure if you are aware or not but the CBRM will not be develped past the 2.2 code so any issues you have, you may continue to have. We have been using a product that works great with Centera and does a C-clip back up and works flawlessly! The best thing is, it does a full back up the f

2009-05-01 Thread Joerg Pohlmann
Colin, my thinking in a platform move is that one would remove all disk storage pool volumes prior to the final database backup, and once the database has been restored on a different platform, delete the tape library, and redefine it, drives, paths, and then checkin scratch followed by checkin pri

One thing I want to warn about using client encryption is that there are two flavors: - standard encryption, in which the client prompts for a password - transparent encryption, in which the client generates the key and then uses the server as an external key manager If you decide to implement cli

We will appreciate if someone can work with IBM support to report this problem. SAN Discovery is a very important TSM function and it is widely used by our customer. Regards, Jo Lay Tivoli Storage Products, IBM Software Group jo...@us.ibm.com

We had this problem as well. Our dedicated HBAs would just randomly log out of the Clariion. Presumably when a SAN Discovery "probe" went out. We couldn't get it to log back in without a reboot. A reboot also caused another Probe though, so we'd only be up for about 20 minutes.It was a major

I must have under utilized my shift key, you are correct, for every 1Gb, you in theory can get 100MB/sec. I am not sure how slow the LTO4 can write, if it cannot go slow enough there may be some shoe shining. The external disks sound fine, the internals will depend on the config and controllers,

In the problem of running out of memory, break up the backups into chunks. In other words don't try to backup the whole box with one scheduled action. If you have these files across multiple volumes, backup 1 or 2 at a time. In the case of the volumes that fill up and never change, are they also
