hi, there is a GPFS-tool called mmbackup. it creates a list of modified files and commit this list to the tsm client. the tsm client will do a selective backup of these files / folders. regards Am 11.03.2010 09:25, schrieb M KIRAN KUMAR: Hi, We have a setup of TSM 5.5 which stores

I found the statement below in the IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library with ALMS: Introduction and Planning Guide (GA32-0593-03), pages 69 and 70. This probably applies even if your library isn't ALMS enabled but I can't prove it. The feature codes 1700 and 1701 are for Enhanced Node Cards. I

The one limitation of mmbackup is that you cannot assign non-default management class to files. If you want to do that, you need to do regular incrementals through dsmc. Also, if you're not running the latest patch level of GPFS 3.2.1 mmbackup will fail if you have any unlinked file sets in

It's not just Win2008, the new naming convention for SystemState started at the 5.5 client, so you'll see it for Win2K3 as well. I think this will get it.. select ... where upper(filespace_name) like '%SYSTEMSTATE%' -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Virtual TSM server - using disk only

Good day everyone, Has anyone explored using TSM server (windows) on a VM using Iscsi storage ? No library requirement at this time. I have multiple European sites within close proximity of each other and they have outgrown the WAN coming back to the states. Only storage available there is Iscsi

Migration to a new SAN Switch

Hello all, I need some help. I recently moved to a new Brocade SAN switch running 4 GB. My copy pools, which interface through a SAN switch and down the DWDN to get to my copy pool library which interfaces the same way, are running very poorly. They average around 7 MB/s. Prior to the move

My plan was to side step the RDMs and use the native windows ISCSI initiator. I have no VM experience or windows based TSM server experience. All my existing sites are AIX. Any info is appreciated. I do plan on looking into this in detail, just trying to save myself a little time. Thanks.
