Be careful with this one. We just purchased a VTL ourselves. We are running TSM 5.2.3. We are currently waiting for a fix with the vendor in order to configure TSM. In TSM V5.3, the code seems to have loosened up. Verify that the TSM version, o/s version, device drivers (o/s or TSM), the type

Hi Allen and Andy, Here is my thinking. From what I gather about scratch volumes, they are opened, filled with what data they are recieving, and closed - but not allocated full size. Yep, that's correct with FILE vols - I'm watching it happen right now here on one of my servers. Perhaps

We'd rather AIX...more reliable...IBM supports their hardware for a greater amount of time, usually 10 years. Was wondering if there was an easy way to migrate the TSM database / data, other than EXPORT / IMPORT. Is there anyone that has had negative experience with running TSM on LINUX? Also,

We have move the TSM database when they were on SSA disks by connecting the SSA disk to the new server. We have also moved the TSM database by backing up to a flat file, copying that to a new server and using: * dsmserv db restore db devc=ADSMDBBK vol=/var/tsmdbbk/06902830.dbb,

There may be technical issues, but from what I can tell it is a religious issue for AIX vs Linux. Both are good solutions. Even a well configured Windows solutions works, but it is not my preferred solution. IMHO, a best fit solution for TSM is probably an AIX solution. But if you have no AIX

Database Voluems: JBOD or Striping

I know that the recommendation is to use as many physical volumes as possible. In the near future, volumes are going to become available to me to use as many as 15 volumes per database instance. Here is what I am wondering. It seems that, if I create a 5GB volume per disk, for a total of 75GB

People discuss performance, and striping will certainly give up much better performance than Jbod. However, the comfort of not losing the database or having to retreat to the last backup that will not reflect the current status of the drive contents led us to simply create a raid5 set and define

The VTLs, are either 'standalone' or 'integrated'. With a standalone, TSM will maintain control over the creation of offsite (copypool) tapes. In integrated, the VTL has the control, via it's software. TSM would never know of the copypool data. To us, that's just another point of failure.

Hi Pretorius. no, you can't directly spread a tape pool across multiple libraries, if that is what you are asking. You have two choices, The first is to split the hierarchy into multiple node - diskpool - tapepool streams. Data is directed into one or the other streams using different
