How to backup CIFS share on NetApp?

Hi there, We have a number of CIFS shares on NetApp filers. For security reasons these cannot be accessed via NFS. Our issue is backing them up. If I log into a windows box and run the backup all is good. If I'm logged out, a scheduled backup of the share will fail (since it's not mounted

Re: TSM on Linux

Hi, If you're going to be moving a lot of data, make sure you are on ES3... 2.1 has issues with VM, it won't release cache memory fast enough, and you'll kill the box. This is fixed in the ES3 kernels. Other than that I would stay away from TSM 5.3 for a while. I just upgraded and I'm lucky to

Run, don't walk, to AS3.0. The memory manager in 2.1 is a piece of garbage and caused us all kinds of issues (super low performance and out and out crashes) We also got interrupt stack overflows left and right. All of this was fixed up in AS3.0. Make sure you set your vm.pagecache in

tape errors after 3590H upgrade - K tape - 3592s

Hi, A couple of months ago we upgraded our 3590E drives to H. Marked everything as readonly.. moved all the data to new (scratch) tape so as not to mix formats on the tape. etc etc etc Now I'm noticing a high number of media errors. I'm assuming that some of the old tape is not up to supporting

Library client cannot allocate drives after drive upgrade.

Hi all, I'm sharing a 3494 library between two linux (RH AS 2.1) boxes running TSM 5, Release 1, Level 5.4. Everything was working just great. One was acting as the library manager and the other was a library client. A couple of days ago we upgraded the 3590E drives in the 3494 to H drives. The

Hi there, I'm running an archive of several files that are actually in automounted directories under a common directory. This, naturally, leads to multiple file spaces associated with the node I am backing up. I don't want that :-) Is there a way to tell TSM to roll all the file spaces into one,

Platform migration

Hi, we are planning on migrating our TSM function from AIX to Linux. It would appear that bringing both servers to 5.X and doing a server to server export node (or many, actually :-) ) is the way to do it. This does require that *every* tape be read and a new one written though, which seems like
