Dear Fred,
if you don´t need the TOC, I would go for defining the datamover and paths
directly to the library manager, there is virtually no impact on the log
and database consumption and thus the startup speed. If you want to do
filer-to-server backups with TOC, this will go into the storage
Hello everyone,
a few months ago, I started to develop a php software called TSM Monitor
to have a tool which helps me with my daily monitoring and reporting tasks.
In the meantime, I published it under the GPL as open source software
because I think there is no other free application for this

We're actually considering a new platform for future TSM servers simply because
we're not an AIX shop anymore (TSM being the lone holdout). We're not a very
good windows shop either, and our strength is really in Solaris and/or Linux,
technically speaking.
When I compare the hardware and LVM
We're primarily a Solaris based TSM shop, our backup server platforms
are T2000's and T5220's currently which seem to be very good at handling
the I/O of the newer T1A B drives along with the speeds of LTO's
and what not. Most of our servers are loaded up with dual port 4Gb
Emulex cards
I have to disagree with that. We routinely run multiple (up to six, and the
only reason it's only six is we don't have any more to test so perhaps more
will run) LTO4 drives as fast as they want to run using and IBM x3850
processor. We run four at a time using an x3650. The buses are PCI-E,
Those high end Windows boxes are priced similarly to equivalent (or better) AIX
boxes. Check the benchmarks before deciding.

Sure, but if you don't have any AIX expertise and have to buy/rent that, the
cost goes up significantly. I'm no huge fan of Windows, but almost everybody
has some of that expertise while AIX expertise is not available in most shops.

We have had a couple of customers over the years running TSM on Solaris. I
must echo Mike's comments. As Solaris would optimistically finish third in IBMs
race for resources there will necessarily be fewer resources both on the
development and support side. If/when there are problems they
DB2 performs well on all platforms.
You just have to size memory and disk layout the correct way.
Aside from the Red books two good sources are:
Configuring and tuning Databases on the Solaris Platform by Allan N
Packer (a little dated but still good concepts)
Understanding DB2 Learning
I'll admit to not having a good grasp of the PCI-E architecture, but I'll stand
by my statement that you'll need PCI-E to get maximal performance out of LTO-4.
I'm fairly certain you'll need to go LAN-free to hit the maximum as well - I
know that's my current bottleneck. As a side note - does
I haven't checked AIX prices lately, but my last Dell 2900 with 8-1TB
drives (for the LZ) and 2-500GB mirrored drives (OS and DB) with 8GB RAM
cost under $11K. As I mentioned, the RH Linux license is around $50. I
think it has 2-PCIe slots for the HBA's and 2-GIGe NICS.

While working on a proposal to move SAP back to TSM I discovered nothing

Hi Rich,
I spoke to the world wide enablement team at IBM, and they are now focus on to
do more and more online classes.
You will se probably much more technical classes and sales classes online in

Don't know if you have for ex see the TSM Exchange 2003 Single Mailbox
This level of performance is pretty near the bottom of the pSeries range, but a
comparable would be a pSeries 520 which could be had for this a similar price.
I just checked and a basic 520 is list priced below $12,000.

Hi,
I got a generic question for you all. How do you keep in track of your Database

I know you can see in Volhist the label of the volume, but how do you keep in
track to get it back from the vault?
Do you have a script or do you call it back one day in advance?

If you eject the tapes with either TSM DRM or Autovault (and I think TSM
Manager as well), they do all the tracking/vaulting for you.
With DRM, you set DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS to xx, the number of days you want
to retain the DB backup before it expires.
Then DRM expires the DB backup after xx

Hey Tom.
I don't know that there's a max for the drive compression algorithm; it's
a function of the data.
I routinely see 2.1-2.2:1 on basic mixtures of fileservers, print servers,
winders stuff.
Oracle is almost always higher, I expect 3-3.5:1.
I've seen DB2 compress at 6:1.

We started with TSM back in the ADSM 2.1 days, when the D/R module was
extra-cost and a bit pricey. We came up with an in-house script to copy the
volume history and the device config file to a floppy daily - and we strapped
the floppy to the database backup with a heavy-duty rubber band.

One of these days, I'll be bored enough to try backing up /dev/zero and see how
many petabytes I can get on the tape - and if I can get the throughput up to
the 370 MB/sec that the LTO-4 claims to support (going from memory here - I
know it's well over 300 MB/sec).
I see about the same as you

nothing. That is, data already in the pool will not move unless it's
subjected to data
Nothing until reclamation happens on the volumes. Then they will be reclaimed
appropriate to the collocation type selected. You can force the issue by doing
move data operations on the volumes. Newly arriving data from clients will be
placed onto tape according to the collocation type.

At one of the shops I was in, TSM maintenance cost expectation was set
by competitive takeout pricing. When maintenance renewal time came
around, and we fell out of the original pricing lock, the price
difference was a shock.
In fairness though, I also needed to renew maintenance on Symantec
