Regarding TSM db and log mirroring

2005-05-19 Thread Farren Minns
Hi all I have a question regarding TSM database and log mirroring. I already use this approach but am unsure what the effects would be if we were to lose one of our disks ( i.e. one side of the mirror is broken ). How does TSM cope with this? Does it keep running? What are the steps required to

This is one of those areas which illustrates the difference between TSM command processing and customer-accessible SQL tables... The Query EVent command actually reports from both the Events and Summary tables, so the amount of data it displays differs from what you will see in the Events table

Actually I am not aware of any real relationship between the QUERY EVENTS command and the SUMMARY table. If anything, the SUMMARY table bears more of a resemblance to the accounting records, if I recall correctly (it has been a while since I looked at accounting records, though). There isn't much

Mr. Sims is correct, we had a disk array go down, all of our DB and log volume mirrors went away, TSM never missed a beat. It only logged the event once per volume. Recovery was almost as easy. Andy Huebner -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
