Hello Rick, I cannot give you any special insights into Hadoop backup, but for your excludes, consider using exclude.dir instead. This will prevent the client from traversing into those directories at all. Benefits include: The subdirectory structure is also excluded from backup, and backup run

I am sure glad you and others are working out the "challenges" with sessionsecurity/TLS/SSL. We are still stuck at 7.1.7.x until we complete get off the client web interface (deprecated with 7.1.8/8.1.2) and don't look forward to these "challenges" once we upgrade all of our servers. On Tue, Aug

Hi guys! I'm struggling (again) with the sessionsecurity issue in our 7.1.9 server. I have a client node which is in fact a node which moves around in a cluster. So sometime the node is on one cluster node active, the next time on the other one. Each time the node switches to the other server,

Hi Andy, In my particular case the domain has a default management class of 14 days, but there is also a management class with a 10 years retention in this domain. Because directories are bound to the management class with the highest retention we normally use a cloptset for all nodes which

Re: Deleting a management class

Hi Eric, The default management class is used if it has a backup copy group. If the default management class does not have a backup copy group, then the domain's backup retention (grace period) is used. Similar story for archive copies: If the default management class has an archive copy group,

We've been OK with IBM's best-effort support for CentOS for both client and server, but we don't have a lot of complexity beyond our size (no TDP, no VTL, no replication, no de-dupe, etc.). I would definitely be interested in seeing real support for CentOS, though, and up-voted the RFE Del passed

Hi Zoltan, CentOS will not be supported by IBM. I myself run TSM on CentOS just fine (TSM 7.1.6 on CentOS 7.5). The lin_tape I don't know, but if you can get your hands on the sourcecode you could compile it probably for CentOS. Richard. Op do 23 aug. 2018 18:14 schreef Zoltan Forray : > This

This is mostly targeted at IBM folks, but we are also looking for feedback from others who gone through this. Since RHEL licensing costs have increased almost three fold over the last 5 years, we are going to push moving to CentOS. There are no licensing fees for CentOS and our current RHEL
