Re: TSM 7.1

Thank You Harmeet, I'm looking at upgrading to 7.1 for both clients and Servers. All my lesser environments are auto-deployed with the 7.1 client for a burn in period, and there have been no issues to date. -Nick -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Re: TSM 7.1

For those of you upgrading or looking at upgrading, what features/fixes are motivating the decision? We'll probably sit at v6.3.4 for now, so I'm mostly curious. Thanks, -- -- Skylar Thompson (skyl...@u.washington.edu) -- Genome Sciences Department, System Administrator -- Foege Building S046,

determining ts1120 serial numbers and wwpns

Is there a way to determine the wwpn and serial number defined for each fc port on a ts1120 drive without connecting it to a fc switch? I have been through the 3592 operator's guide and have not found anything. I am preparing for a tsm 5.5 to 6.2.5 upgrade. I would like to prerun cables from

Delete last snapshot?

Is there a way to force a delete of the last database snapshot backup? I have one from several months ago, sitting on hardware we're decommissioning. DEL VOLHIST TYPE=DBS TODATE=TODAY won't do it and the manual says the last won't be deleted. Is there an un-documented command option? Thanks.

Re: determining ts1120 serial numbers and wwpns

Sh library shows the ports on the drives already in use. I need to see the information for the unconnected ports. Our IBM CE had told me before that serial numbers and wwpns are software defineable on the drive. Just hoping that there was a way to get to these values without connecting the

Re: determining ts1120 serial numbers and wwpns

Using TSMManager to query the drives, it issues this command: select library_name,drive_name,online,device_type,element,drive_state,allocated_to,drive_serial from drives Which gives you the drive serial numbers. LIBRARY_NAME: TS3500-COPY DRIVE_NAME: 7857392 ONLINE: YES DEVICE_TYPE:

Re: determining ts1120 serial numbers and wwpns

Never mind. I went back and reread your message and you already have this info. In the past, I have used the CE/FE console on my TS1130 drives to show the ports and assignments/wwn for each (and changed them, as well). But now that we have a new TS3500, it is different since the TS3500 seems to

Re: Delete last snapshot?

Harold If it is the only DBS backup use: del volh t=dbs tod=today force=y If you need to delete a specific DB snapshot then refer to the options available for the delete volume history command in the help section. -Rick Adamson -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Re: TSM 7.1

Tivoli has promised a 10X improvement in dedup speed. (Yes, I've seen that in writing.) Need it. Want it. Would like to know if anybody is seeing it... We also need the 7.1 client for VSphere 5.5 support... -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Hi all, Don't expect 10X improvement from 6.3.4.200, I guess it's pretty the same dedup speed betweeb both versions : [image: Images intégrées 1] ___ *Tristan KELKERMANS* *Ingénieur Stockage Sécurité*+ 33 (0)1 81 08 21 09 | Ligne directe + 33 (0)6 80 36 87 88 |

Re: TSM 7.1

Hi all, IBM say 10 times improvements, but what is the reference, legacy 6.1 ? I've read that most of the improvements have been backported to TSM 6.3.4.200. There are some more fixes and improvements with the recent 6.3.4.300. Anynone installed it ? Prather, Wanda wanda.prat...@icfi.com

That's actually good to hear - did you indeed see significant dedup speed improvements in 6.3.4.200? Someone on this list said 6.3.4.200 made it worse for them. W -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tristan Kelkermans Sent:

Re: Re: determining ts1120 serial numbers and wwpns

The serial number of each drive should be the same regardless of which port is in use (as should the WWNN, but not WWPN). If you name the OS devices for the drives based just on serial number, you'll want to revise your naming scheme. On my AIX system, I rename the /dev/rmtdiscovery number

Re: TSM 7.1

Hello, I don't know what the baseline for the claimed 10x improvement is. I hope there is an ATS webinar soon to explain it. I did serious amounts of dedup on 6.1 servers. They are now at 6.3.4.2+ and I don't remember a big improvement from the upgrade. This url,

Hi Harmeet - glad to hear that the 7.1 upgrade has gone smoothly for you. Regarding the following comment: I was hoping I could do more with the op center but the dashboard is making clients go weak at the knees. Can you provide more details about how the Operations Center is affecting your

Re: TSM 7.1

Our data in the aggregate are only ~25% deduplicatable, and our disk:tape ratio is about 1:200, so unfortunately dedupe has not been a huge win for us. The VSphere support, OTOH, is intriguing. Thanks, On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 04:52:04PM +, Prather, Wanda wrote: Tivoli has promised a 10X
