best way to avoid long rollback

We have a pair of tsm servers doing backup and replication. Each has a database over 1TB on ssd and 512G of memory Our organization likes to do os patch maintenance every 90d and doing this requires a stop and restart of db2. When would it be best to do maintenance to shorten the rollback time?

Re: Re: dsm.sys question

For a pure TSM/SP client solution, beyond what can be done with an inclexcl file or server-side client option sets as you and Skylar have already noted, I think you're out of luck. You probably have several options from the Puppet side, though... You could use file_line resource in Pupppet's

Re: dsm.sys question

I don't know that this approach would work - Puppet would see that the file differs from the deployed file, and would just overwrite it the next time the agent runs. Puppet would need to manage dsm.sys completely[1] with Rick's desired changes, or those options would have to be taken out of

Re: dsm.sys question

Hi Rick, I'm not aware of a mechanism that allows one to do that with dsmc/dsm.sys, but Puppet does have the ability to include arbitrary lines in a file, either via a template or directly in a rule definition. Another option would be to use server-side client option sets:
