support for SnapDiff on NetApp filers running CDOT?

2015-03-12 Thread Schaub, Steve
Has anyone heard when Tivoli is going to release a version of SnapDiff that works on Clustered Data Ontap 8 (think latest version is 8.2 or 8.3)? My understanding is that NetApp has given the API's to IBM, waiting on IBM to incorporate them. Thanks, Steve Schaub Systems Engineer II,

Thanks, Andy. We are continuing to troubleshoot. It is difficult since I can't replicate the problem on every backup, and our end users are a bit uneasy being our guinea pigs. I will double-check, but pretty sure we have VE configured to force the use of NBD, never Hotadd. Thanks again for

Hi Eric, On UNIX and Linux systems, if only file permissions have changed, then the latest backup copy is updated with the changed permissions; it is not backed up again in full. From the online documentation at

Thanks Andy and Zoltan for your reply! Indeed this makes TSM not suitable for rolling back security errors. In fact, when you change security attributes you won't be able to recover your system to anything but the last backup state. No more point-in-time. Ok yes, you can restore your files back

Later versions of AIX have two larger page sizes available and so the number of locks to be taken and released drops dramatically for the typical 256KB tape transfer. This is what I'm really confused about, and our AIX admins don't have an answer. Our Power systems with AIX supports 4k, 64k and

Hi Andrew The original reasoning on AIX was that as the data is transferred to tape AIX gets a spin lock on each 4k page and then has to release it, so that a system using tape heavily spends quite a lot of CPU acquiring and releasing locks. Later versions of AIX have two larger page sizes
