It sounds like you are pre-defining the file vols on the NFS share. If you pre-define vols I believe TSM writes the entire vol to initialize it. That would be a very heavy write load. It sounds like maybe the NFS server is overloaded and maybe causing I/O errors to the other TSM's. Are you

MAGS for parallel NSA backup

Hello, In the near future we may be replacing our Windows server CIFS shares with a NAS appliance. In doing some reading I came across a blog post about a 3rd party tool, MAG (Massive Attack General Storage), that will automatically create parallel TSM backup sessions for a share. I was just

Re: help with designing a backup system for Teradata

What type of storeage system are you using? Does it have the necessary I/O capability to allow the throughput you are going to require? The I/O is coming from the Teradata box. Teradata is a dedicated Database system that is highly optimized and uses very high parallelism. We are told it can

We purchased a Teredata database system. It currently is in test/dev stage with little data. We don't really know the ultimate backup requirements. To get things started we setup a simple backup system: Teradata - to Bar server (Win) with TSM interface sftw - to TSM server (AIX) -

Re: can't access share with nested AD groups

We found the problem. The 2012 AD uses compressed SID's which OnTap 8.1.2P1 doesn't support. Support was added in 8.1.2P2. A work-around we found on MS website works good, but requires the Windows use to log out and back in. Rick From: Rhodes, Richard L. Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 1:18

and probably often does happen anyway.) My gut reaction with DB2 on TSM 6 and up is that nothing with the database layout is as easily fixed as it was with the embedded database in TSM 5 and earlier... :-/ There's always trade-offs... =Dave On 07/15/2015 09:15 AM, Rhodes, Richard L. wrote

Re: Disk layout for AIX

The concurrency I'm aware of is at the hdisk/lun level. There's a num_cmd_elems at on the fcs adapter which we set to 2k, and then queue_depth on the hdisk. That's why spreading I/O across as many hdisks/luns as possible is advantageous. Rick -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist

Re: Disk layout for AIX

With your current vg setup you are dedicating one or more luns to each vg. The good is dedicated resources of that lun (iops+capacity) in each vg. But the converse is also true, you _only_ have the dedicated resources of that lun in the vg. If you max out the resources of a vg and others are

Re: finding possible values for a particular column

Hi Cameron, I'd be interested how you get the value for var ${yesterday} in your script? (assuming you compute it off of ${today} ?) I've wanted to derive an earlier date (like the date of a week ago) in a script a number of times and couldn't come up with a simple way to do it. Rick

Re: NAS storage

Yup, We use a couple DataDomain dedup systems via NFS - they are basically a NAS systems. And in a punch I've mounted our NSeries (NetApp) systems via NFS also. It's not local/san disk, so don't expect local/san disk performance. We use it for FILE dev pools, not DISK dev pools. Rick

Re: AIX large pages with TSM

I've been experimenting with LARGE PAGES. At this time I've just been trying to get a TSM instance to come up with 64k pages. I'll play with 16mb pages later. This WORKS - manual startup after changing to the db2 owner. Su - tsmuser (db2 owner)

migrating from a old DataDomain to a new one

We just purchased two new DataDomain systems to replace old ones. The two old DD's are a bi-directional replication pair using MTree replication. I need to migrate the data to the new DD's. I could perform this at the TSM level with new storage pools and perform migration between old/new

Re: AIX large pages with TSM

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
