Hi,
This is how storage agent 6.1 works which might be one of the differences of
this version:
the storage agent can support several clients while installed on only one
of the clients. You can also install the storage agent on a client system
that does not share storage resources with the Tivoli
Hello
No, it's not different in 6.1, earlier versions work the same. What you
need to remember though is that you normally install a LAN-Free agent to
get the data OFF the ethernet network. If you're backing up a host with a
storage agent on another host the data goes over ethernet to get to
Good point, thanks.
I conclude that for a multi-platform environment, TSM for SAN is required
for all systems that need LAN-free data movement.
Another vague issue for me is the shared resource. Evidently, tape libraries
could be shared SAN resources. How about disk-based ones? What I have found
Thanks Francisco,
Can TSM server for z/OS backup open system's data? If yes, does it support
TDP for Oracle (oracle is on Unix), TDP for MS SQL and LAN-free data
movement?

First i tried install all on CentOS 4 (2.6.9-78). In IBM documentation i

Hi,
I think you'll learn that GPFS provides everything SANergy does, plus
reliability and some more neat features. I don't think you'll actually
need the SANergy MDC to do what you want to do. I have a very strong
opinion on SANergy, and that is that you don't want to use it, not

Hi,
I read about gpfs possibilities and would be happy use only it :)
But it's more complex.
I need make three-level storage system (fc disks-fata disks-tape). First
level (fc-disk pool) contains user's data. Obsolescent data must migrate
to second level (fata-disk pool), and then (if needed) to
You are aware that with TSM version 6.1 Lan-free is also formally
supported on GPFS? There was no code-change, just a formal support
statement, so you can get this to work with 5.5 as well
As for HSM, I'd think that either requiests are so small that you
don't mind using TCP/IP or so large
Yes i found that tsm lan-free 5.5 woks with gpfs. But in real model gpfs
wouldn't be used, that's why i looking for another ways.
Well, files not so small for transfering over TCP/IP, but consumer needs
fast access for recently migrated data. So he determined such conditions
and set task and I

We use 3 RAID-5 groups with 24 random disk volumes each and they are faster
than the Ethernet (2x1gb) during the backups and are fast enough during
migration to meet our needs. Since we are not migrating to physical tape I
have not tracked the performance, only if it was done in time.

Hi all,
We have a request to backup a Windows 2003 server that has a open DB2
running on it, I have never backed a server up with DB2. Anyone with
experience doing this? Any RECENT documents or Manuals that can help?
Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance!
Tim,
See:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp
Look under Database administration for Data recovery
DB2 uses the TSM API. Just remember that everytime you change the TSM
configuration files you need to restart DB2 in order to read in the new
configuration.

Yes it does, TSM on z/OS will backup all of these. I am not sure about
LAN-free data movement. z/OS will only support ESCON or FICON attach
tape drives and not Fibre channel tape drives. 3590 and
3592/TS1120/TS1130 requires tape controllers. LTO of any flavor are not
supported by z/OS.

I've got a node within TSM that we want to be able to export out of TSM
completely.
Can you extract all the data (active and inactive versions) for a node
and cut it to CD, or other media and have it be readable outside of TSM?
The customer wants to be able to keep the data for a period of
Hi Eric,
What you can do is create a File Device Class and run export node with
filedata=all to that Device Class.
Now can you burn out the Device Class Files. I have a Customer Doc that I did
write for CBMR how to export BMR data to Cristie Software Support.
Now can you archive that CDs and
An EXPORT is only suitable for importing to another TSM server.
Look at BACKUPSETs; a backupset, if written to CD/DVD, can be read by the
TSM client, without a TSM server.

I looked at backupsets, however it looks like you can only create a backupset
of active data?
The customer would like to have access to all data (active and inactive
versions) outside of the TSM server.
Is this possible via a backupset?
Thanks again.

Hi Eric,
That is correct. With Backupset can you only collect data from a point in time
and the active data from that time.
Export/import can you collect ALL data.

But, as Wander points out, with any EXPORT NODE operation you'll need as a
minimum a TSM Server, a TSM Client and an IMPORT NODE operation to read any
of that node's data back again. For me, that doesn't qualify as 'have it be
readable outside of TSM' as stated in Eric's original requirement.

Anyone has experience backing up such setup with TSM?

I installed the TSM 6.1 client for Windows32 on my test machine, which is

Hi, Wanda -
Technote 1320792 recommends Java 1.5.
Assure a writable dsmerror.log (test by throwing a bogus option into
dsm.opt, and performa client action). Beyond that, maybe try a client
trace.

I have notice that whenever I run expiration on a server with NDMP
backups on it, that the NDMP data does not get deleted the first pass
thru. If I start expiration again immediately after the first
expiration finish, it will expire my NDMP backups.
Any one else experiencing the same weirdness
I currently have TSM server 5.4.3.0 on AIX 5.3 TL8-2.
Will be upgrading server to 5.5.2.0 in a few weeks.
5.5 includes, for AIX platform, xlC 8.0. My AIX already
is at xlC 9.0.
Install doc just says what's on CD. Can this run with xlC
9.0 or do I have to downgrade?
I have a few AIX Clients
Dave,
I have this version on a server I was testing 6.1 which I restored to 5.5.2 and
have not seen any issues.

Thanks much. I saw that client limitations technote that recommended

Hello David,
I am running TSM 5.5.1.1 with xlC 9.0 without any problems.
In addition, I have upgraded to xlC 9.0.08, which is required for TSM 6.1, and
found 5.5.1 working fine.
