Re: volumes in a collocation group?stg

Hi, Larry. Depending on your various RTOs, it might make sense to restore stgpool newstgpool=vtlpool where vtlpool is, well, on a VTL. Once the data is on the VTL, you can perform massively parallel restores. This might be a bit more expensive, and it eats up some initial prep time, but it

Hi Martin, The 1st Backup will probably don't do any major save for you. It always depend on what kind of data you backup. What we normally see is saving on Archive Data and TDP Data. Everything else is most of the time unique data and you will not see any saving. Dedup is a major saving for

Re: Backup up a NetApp Filer without using NDMP

I have more customers that backup their filers by mounting the shares to a Windows box than I do using NDMP. It's slower, but it gives you true incrementals and lets you specify retention using TSM's normal mgmt classes, and it makes individual file restores easier. You usually end up sending

Re: Two different retention policies for the same node

(7 days of retention at the DR site also sounds bogus to me - why 7? Sounds like they don't really know what they need and you should reexamine RTO and RPO.) But regardless of that, here's what I would recommend to solve the problem as stated: For the primary site, keep your 180 days retention.

Re: is TSM Client-encrypted data still compressable on the 3592 Drives ?

Compression algorithms work by removing repeating patterns in the data. Encryption also works by removing repeating patterns in the data. So you are correct that no matter what type of drives you are using, the drives are unlikely to be able to do any significant amount of compression on

Mixing LTO2 and LTO4 drives and media in the same library

Hi Team, I’ve a question about mixing LTO drives and media in the same library – LTOn and LTOn+2. • Windows TSM 5.4.3.2 (soon to be migrated to a 5.5.1.1 server running on AIX) • IBM 3584 single frame library, presently with 4 x IBM LTO2 drives • Currently no library clients or storage agents.

As many say your mileage may vary You can positively impact the Dedupe factor by ... 1) No Client Side Compressions (Compressed files always have unique Sig) 2) No Client Side Encryption (TSM or OS) - Encrypted Data is always unique like compressed data. 3) If you have more than one VTL

network data transfer rate aggregate data transfer rate

I have a question about aggregate data transfer rate. Why it is always a lot slower than the network data transfer rate? For example: ANE4961I (Session: 18137, Node: MFDCITRIX) Total number of bytes transferred: 13.61 GB (SESSION: 18137) 03/18/09 15:37:37 ANE4963I (Session: 18137, Node:

Re: network data transfer rate aggregate data transfer rate

Network data transfer rate is the rate when the client is actually sending the data. Usually very close to the wire speed. Aggregate is amount of data transferred divided by the backup's elapsed time. Not just the time the client is actually moving data on the wire. If you don't see the

Re: Mixing LTO2 and LTO4 drives and media in the same library

We do this with a mixed LTO3 and LTO2 drives. We did not partition the library. However, I would highly suggest putting the smaller format higher in the drive number list. DRIVE01 = LTO2 . . . DRIVE10 =LTO4. That will keep the LTO4 drives available for LTO4 tapes, if LTO4 drives will read

Thanks for the help everyone. NDMP looked unsupportable to us since it'd require putting the Filer on our SAN and we don't have a currently have system to charge for data sent across the SAN. NDMP via the network looks like a workable option though. Thanks again, -- Brian Kunst Storage
