Now that I have a TS3500 - I have questions

2013-05-28 Thread Zoltan Forray
Our new TS3500 was installed this weekend (replacing our 17-year old 3494) and I have lots of questions about how things should be done/configured and why it is doing what it is doing. First off, the library is configured as 2-virtual librarys, each side with fixed drive assignments and each side

Thanks for the suggestion. My only issue with the SEARCH=BULK is it they puts up an operator prompt requiring a reply. Is this is the way it has to be to work properly, I/the operators can live with it. On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 9:27 AM, Dierk Harbort dierk.harb...@buergel.dewrote: Hi Zoltan,

I forgot to mention we aren't using CAP. The tape numbers/range are scatter between systems and we often shuffle tapes between TSM servers as the need arises if we run low/out of scratch tapes. We have a tight budget and can't just go out and buy a 1000 tapes at a time. We usually have between

Thanks for asking. Lots of drama but it didn't take anywhere as long as they guessed. In fact it took me longer to reconfigure 7-TSM servers and then figure out various nuances then the physical deinstall/install. The library was completely emptied and ready for them to shutdown by 10am Friday.

TDP Backups - VSS Provider Choice?

2013-05-28 Thread Stackwick, Stephen
We're running the 6.4 Exchange TDP on an Exchange DAG cluster (Windows 2008). These are VSS backups, and since we're running on Netapps, the Data Ontap VSS provider is installed. Is there a way to tell the TDP to use the Windows VSS software provider instead? I swear I've seen it someplace,

There are a few details missing. Are you writing to the same VTL system? If so you may be seeing TSM rebuild the aggregates which effectively changes the data the VTL sees. If it is a new VTL then the first data is always new and has nothing to de-duplicate against. Andy Huebner -Original

I don't know a way to cancel a TSMVE backup from the plug-in. We cancel a running backup by disabling client sessions on the TSM server. This stops new guest backups from starting, and limits the cleanup afterward. Then,we stop the Client Scheduler service on the data mover. Keith
