Is 1.6 TB the amount of must have/critical information ? and is that already compressed ? Knowing each tape mount runs about 90 seconds, any way to reduce tape mounts will speed up copies. If you have collocation on, turning it off ~could~ help... and collocation can/is set on both primary pools

TSM cost cutting measures...

OK, one would need to verify with Tivoli/IBM but I seem to recall hearing TSM servers being licensed by physical machine. IF that is the case then multiple virtual machines under VMware opens up a whole new world of possibilities as far as cost savings go! AND where you could run multiple windows

Been a while and I'd have to double check but... You might not want to use compression if you use encryption... I believe it encrypts first then tries to compress and encrypted data doesn't compress (much). Something to double check. Dwight -Original Message- From: J D Gable

What you will find (last time I checked...) Now, was the old filespace name eliminated totally ??? If so, TSM doesn't purge any of that data. TSM doesn't know that the file system was removed, it only knows it isn't available (maybe just not mounted...). Existing inactive versions will expire

All depends on your type of library ! IBM 3494-L12 To get the atl to actually scan the barcodes of the tapes you must go to the operator console and do a command, inventory, inventory update full or something close to that (changes across levels of the library manager code) then inside

What did you have your multiplexing set at ??? If you are only using a single tape drive you will want to really experiment with setting the multiplexing up from one. AND I'd make sure and use some form of compression, either RL_COMPRESSION or straight client compression, once again, experiment.

Where do your virtual volumes go ??? (straight to tape or first to a buffer diskpool ???) If they go straight to tape there is the possibility that your second virtual volume to be reclaimed ends up being on the physical volume to which your first reclamation process opened its output volume.

Sure, it is easy and stable... We've moved 8 servers in the past. Once all done use Syntax -Set SERVername--server_name- to change the name of your running TSM server... Actually we just had new equipment at the new location and transported a copy of the DB.

Re: retention question (may be trivial)

2002-10-01 Thread Cook, Dwight E
If a client quits backing up to a server, the server never has anything to base the status of an active file on. In other words, it never knows if it has turned inactive. Since active files are there as long as the node is, if a box never backs up again, its active files never go away. Dwight
