Re: looking for experiences with the ibm 3584 library

We have been using a 3584 for about 12 years and have had no issues at all with it. The only time it has been down is for firmware upgrades, replacing tape drives (upgrade from LTO2 to LTO4), and when we moved to our new datacenter. Very stable and a great workhorse. I generally agree with

Hi Richard, We're on Linux so we use lin_tape, which is atape for open systems. lin_tape is free, but you have to buy a license for support. The group that supports it might be named Enterprise Tape Systems. At any rate, we did buy a license for it, and that has been quite handy. The

WOW - Deja Vu - We had these same problems on our 3494: *1) The case of the frayed ribbon cable.* *2) The case of the mysterious gripper failures.* So, eventhough the 3584 is blazing fast, the basic concept/structure/problems haven't changed radically! We have just hit the 1-year mark with our

7) Atape - the mysterious of who within IBM owns it! We all use atape on our hosts for the tape lib/drive driver. If you ever suspect/have a problem with it, you will get nowhere in trying to get support from IBM. Open a case on the 3584? Nope, we don't support that - it's host software.

Exchange 2010 weird backup behavior

2014-05-05 Thread Prather, Wanda
I suspect this is more an Exchange 2010 issue than a TSM issue, but I'm hoping somebody has seen something similar before and can tell me where to look. About 15% of the time, one of our Exchange servers gears down and the weekend full backup runs wa slower than it should, and I can't

2014-05-05 Thread Dury, John C.
Sorry for revisiting this but I'm in a predicament now. Trying to backup the NDMP device is a miserable failure and frankly just ugly. I honestly can't see why anyone would use TSM to backup any NDMP devices except for maybe speed issues. We decided to mount all of the NFS shares locally on
