Is anyone using TSM on Linux on non-IBM hardware? I am trying to run this on
a Dell machine using SuSE 8 and have been unsuccessful in finding a way to
stabilize the system. If so, please would you provide me with details about
what version of Linux you are using and on what hardware platform?
Ruddy,
In a test that I did on a client site, average file size can account for
huge performance differentials when using LAN-Free. In one case, I ran a
test that compared transfer times of a 276480 byte file to a 2146435072 byte
file, the resultant transfer rate was .032 MB/sec. for the small
types. This is valid for all TSM levels.

We run AIX 4.3.3, have gone from TSM 3.1 to 3.7 to 4.1
StorageTek 9310 tape libraries are only controllable via ACSLS or
LibStation. This is due to the fact that it only supports a TCP/IP (IEEE
802.3, 10baseT, half-duplex), RS423 or 3270 robotic control interface.

To the best of my knowledge, the STK L180 does not support ACSLS. It is pure
SCSI based library control. However, what you probably could would be to use

I have several legacy systems (VMS and VME) that I am hoping to integrate
into my TSM environment. However, TSM does not provide clients for these
platforms. Has anyone else experienced this difficulty either with these
platforms or other platforms like this? If so, how did you resolve this

Craig,
If you are using a single TSM server
required as it is when using LAN-Free clients. You can obtain more
information on EDT-DistribuTAPE from

Michel,
It has been my experience that it is possible to use the TSM 4.2.1 client
for AIX 4.3.3 on an AIX 5.1 machine so long as you have the necessary
patches applied. This should also allow you to overcome the 64-bit issue as
well.

Greetings,
I am aware of a site where the individual is running v3.1 clients on HP
10.20. However, they are using Autosys to initiate the backup operations.
They have not had any problems with this configuration as far as I am aware.

A requirement for LAN-Free is that you are running TSM server version 4.2.1
or later.

Dmitri,
To answer your questions:
Q: Why is Gresham's EDT product required as part of the Storage
Agent/LAN-Free solution?
A: Gresham's EDT product was selected to handle tape resource brokering
between TSM and ACSLS/LibStation. In particular, EDT-DistribuTAPE enables
TSM to use a single
Jerry,
I have seen this problem in the past but it isn't really a problem. I
believe Tivoli would refer to it as a security feature. What happens when
backups are performed is that directories, not files, are bound to the
management class with the longest retention period. If you look at
throughput for each tape drive (3 in parallel). I hope, IBM/Tivoli can
resolve this issue soon.

One other thing that is interesting to note...If you are using LAN-Free, you
can create a management class that points to a disk pool and a management
class that points to a tape pool and then make entries in the incl/excl list
to include these management classes. By doing this, you can direct
If you are employing StorageTek's ACSLS or LibStation, you can add
EDT-DistribuTAPE to the mix to support both tape drive types in one library.
The interface with TSM is via the external library manager (ELM) component.
In essence, you would create two library definitions in TSM, one for DLT and
When/If TSM implements 3rd party copy, they will be capable of Serverless
backup because the metadata will be routed via the SAN to the server opposed
to being transferred over the LAN. LAN-Free, on the other hand, employs the
StorageAgent, which sends the metadata over the LAN while physical
