Just set-up a Storage Agent and have in mind that DB2 uses API Client not B/A. So be careful in which dsm.sys & dsm.opt you are changing options (LANFREE ones for example).
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: UDB/TSM Backups directly to tape Can anyone point me in the right direction with regards to using DB2's API (UDB) to backup directly to tape. I have no experience with DB2 so I would be grateful if someone to give me a helping hand. The application team want to be able to back up to our LTO 3584 directly rather than going via a storage pool, which I have set it up to do. Does anyone know what changes I have to make or is there a Redbook out there which will give me the answer. Also they have asked whether TSM can delete a file once it has been successfully backed up. I know Arcserve can but can TSM? Thanks as always, Mike Regards, Michael Swinhoe Storage Management Group Zurich Financial Services (UKISA) Ltd.
