Re: 3583 LTO library and drives in Windows 2000

I wouldn't do this. Use the native device drivers rather than the tsmscsi driver for these drives. You are probably ok for the driver, but since the elements are switched, TSM is putting the tape in one drive and then expecting to see it in the other drive. Thus the timeout. Kelly J. Lipp

Re: Tivoli Setup

of mounts will be expensive. You probably have fast migration now. You won't in the future! Be prepared for that. I discussed the notion of limiting the maxscratch and some ways of making sure you don't get bit. Search the adsm.org archives to find that. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions

Re: Migration question

I'd change it to: backup stg disk copy backup stg tape copy (for anything that might have been migrated during the night. Do it this way since the copy pool tapes are already mounted and ready to go) migrate disk tape Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc. PO Box 51313 Colorado

Re: retain extra vs retain only

database this long could be a problem so don't do that! You would probably never restore a database back 90 days anyway. But then someone will scream but what about long term archive of databases? Export to ascii and use Arvhive, not backup. See my paper! Am I rambling? Kelly J. Lipp Storage

Re: Recovery Log size

at the seems in other areas and should perhaps be split anyway. Even if larger logs were supported, how long would a db restore take with roll-forward enabled? I'm thinking way too long. Perhaps someone can share their longest db restore story with us. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions

And how hard would it really be for the dsmserv restore db process to inventory the library before it starts? Just an engineering thought for the day. And because you all probably missed me while I was gone! If you noticed, that is. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc. PO Box
