Subject: TSM Node Summary
Hello
Depending on your disk pool media, it is almost always faster to send a DB
backup to tape because of the size and single-threadedness of most DB
backups. All our MS-SQL and DB2 backups are in a class that forces direct to
tape and they tend to be 400-800% faster than diskpool would be for the same
and of course each of these parts has a different number and price depending
on whether this is a TSM Standard or TSM Extended edition install. All
clients (servers) to a TSM Extended server cost quite a bit more.

I have had the best luck with the AIX systems, they always work.

Does anyone know where to get the kernel-2.4.9-31.i386.rpm for redhat 7.2?
All the sites I have checked only have the much newer kernels and associated

I even checked the source rpm's and the oldest I could get was 2.4.9-34.
Has IBM said anything about releasing newer tape drivers?
has anyone deployed TSM from a B50 or a 43p 140 ?
I need to back up about 4 GB a night on a local network from 2 clients and
maintain a total tape pool of about 2.5 TB on about 100,000 objects or less.
