Hi,
We are replacing our existing TSM server with a new one and I have a
question about storage pool configuration.
Currently our TSM server is running on the same RS6000 as our main Oracle
databases using a STK L700 tape silo connected directly to the RS6000. The
TSM server also backs up
Hi,
I have testet exactly this configuration:
the latest OS/2-Client which is at 3.7.2.27 running on Warp v4 with fix
pack 12 and downloadable from boulder backing up to a TSM server on AIX
5.1.0.0_03. I was running the server with ver 5.1.1.6 as well as 5.1.5.2
and opposite to what was said on
There ain't no magic bullet for that question.
You have to factor in a bunch of things;
- The size of the backup windows for the Oracle/Domino server
- how much the Oracle/Domino/other server windows overlap.
- The amount of Oracle/Domino data you need to backup in the windows.
- amount of disk

--- It won't take too many connections on the main pipe to take a
big chunk of it, and if you stream to tape you want the LTO drive

We are using TDP for SQL version 2.2.1. We are backing up the data via the SAN

Only a working knowledge of your environment can answer this question.
How big of a disk pool are you looking at?
Do you do your database backups hot or cold?
Would you have any time constraints around resources (tape drives for one)?
Would you have to force migrations in order to free up drives

Your right that domain all-local is the default.
Since you are able to backup the local drive manually but not

I would check the permission for the schedule service to see if

I had a simular issue about a year ago.
Neither you nor Thabani mentioned the OS of the server thus I assumed AIX.
For Windows most common reason is Windows driver starts and grabs the
devices (even unrecognised) before TSM driver can do anything. Thus
devices are locked. Verify is the checkbox Enable Windows Tape and
