I would suggest you contact EMC. I believe they have information about setting up a clariion for TSM. A couple comments from things I've heard from EMC. . . . . EMC used RAID3 in their VTL, and is best for streaming when ATA drives are used, for up to about 10 concurrent read/write data

I'll guess what may be happening here. The TSM server runs the 'backup storagepool' and 'migrate' commands on a per node basis. Meaning that if you set it to 4 sessions, TSM will look at the storage pool, pick the node with the most data and start to duplicate that data, it

Alleged LTO fragility

This is a tape media question. We are considering moving from DLT8000 to LTO-1 for offsite tape storage. Our local IBM guys told us that LTO tapes should not be dropped more than 1/2 inch or they risk being damaged. If you've ever watched a vault vendor handling tapes, you know that 1/2 is

I don't quite think an inch, but... 1. Why LTO-1? LTO3 is current vdersion. 2. The cases are somewhat fragile on older LTO1 tapes. I think originally the two plastic halves were not welded together. This led to cases where, when inserted in a drive they got stuck. Resaon is the leader pin
