Hi, Used it with adding slots, io slots and drives to lib and worked. Just make sure lib is not being used and all drives are empty at the time of running the audit. Co-worker tried it with lib in use and drives mounted and ended up with one big mess to solve :D Kind regards, Karel -

TSM Exchange setup

Hi All, Needed to setup TSM for Exchange 2010 with relatively short notice. Followed the document I found online as the setup is the same. http://tsmclinic.blogspot.com/2010/11/tutorialconfiguring-tdp-for-exchange_22.html Can anyone please verify of this is correct. Ran into some issues

I think you couldn't use TDPE 6.1 with DAG configuration. We have implemented TDPE 6.4.0 with TSM Client 6.4.0 recently. Grigori G. Solonovitch Senior Systems Architect Ahli United Bank Kuwait www.ahliunited.com.kw Please consider the environment before printing this E-mail -Original

Jerome, The article you referenced is not complete. As Grigori mentioned, you should use Data Protection for Exchange 6.4 since it contains full DAG support, including a configuration wizard that supports DAG configurations. The documentation for Data Protection for Exchange 6.4 also has

Equating current 3494 configuration to TS3500

2013-04-23 Thread Zoltan Forray
As you are aware from previous posts, we are replacing our 3494 with a TS3500/3584. I am trying wrap my mind around the proper way to configure the TS3500 so it functions the same way our 3494 does. If changing our current configuration makes things easier for the transition, now would be the

When you say in your 3494 that each owns n-3592 drives: Do your current TSM servers share the drives, or do you use it as if it is 2 separate physical libraries? Wanda -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Zoltan Forray Sent:

We have 2-TSM servers acting at Library Managers/Owner, thus each LM has its own 3494 category codes, each owns n-3592 drives, etc. This was done for redundancy, fail-over, etc. We have tape drives spinning most of the time so having all library functionality and drives attached to only 1-TSM

When we've have major library problems where an entire library is down, and we've had several of these, we have scrambled to add disk space to the staging disk pools to keep backups running. I don't have this luxury. 5 of my 7 production servers do not have any external/SAN disk - only what the

OK. The equivalent way to do the TS3500, treating as 2 separate libraries: Using the TS3500 web interface, create 2 logical libraries/partitions in the TS3500. Name them Manny and Moe (or whatever you want - TSM will not know or care what the partition names are). One logical library or

As always, thanks Wanda. That clears up / confirms a lot of what I was thinking. Don't know about the I/O path failover for these SAN paths - need to ask my OS guy. Having to do everything from the web interface is going to be a really pain if not a security concern/issue. Currently, the 3494

You only need to do this stuff at config time, you won't need the web interface on a day to day basis, any more than with the 3494. (although it is surely nice to have just to check on what's happening in there). You can also forego the web interface and use the library panel for the

How is TSM setup to use virtual drives - my current understanding is that Drives are defined to a Library and Paths connect the Library and Drives to a TSM server. The Library Manager (drive owner) server delegates the drives it owns/manages to a TSM server that needs it. So, how would a
