Hi, In SQL server, the database is not processor architecture dependent, so that will not be a limitation. I do not expect this to be an issue with TSM DP. Unfortunately, I cannot test this at the moment, so I can't tell for sure. Cheers, Rick On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 12:50 PM, Loon, EJ van -

What are the specific issues you are having with VCB? There are a number of products that are essentially front-ends to VCB if you feel its a management problem, but they do need VCB. The TSM 5.5 client also added a number of features that make it less of a hassle as well. Otherwise, you just

I really want to avoid that, if at all possible, because I do like that I don't have to install on 70+ clients right now, just getting tired of various issues, including the VCB server locking up once a week, at least. Part of the problem is that our mount directory (that contains the snapshots

Best use of disk storage

2008-11-14 Thread Michael Green
Bright minds, If you are given 20T of disk space, how would you use it in TSM 5.3 environment in context of speeding up restores? 1. Would you create large disk pools with CACHE=y or.. 2. Would you create disk pools sized to accommodate routine incrementals only with the rest of the space

Re: Best use of disk storage

2008-11-14 Thread Kelly Lipp
Michael, I would choose 2. Using JBOD disks build a cachepool with enough space for incrementals. With the rest of it built on RAID5, create onlinefile with devclass file. Choose a volume size of 25GB and create all the volumes manually rather than having TSM create them for you on the fly.
