Hi *SM-ers,
it's the first time for us, that we have a request to consider to
provide the TSM-service for the VERITAS
BACKUP EXEC TSM OPTION,
i.e. "Backup Exec as a TSM Client"
Just a few questions:
1. is anyone out there using/providing this feature ?
2. If so, how does it interfere with normal TSM-usage (server side) ?
3. Is it supported by TSM 5.3+ ?
4. How about the size of the "bexpi.dsm" file and for the "BACKUPPOOL"
storage-pool ?
5. The VERITAS-doc (Chapter 18, page 789) tells about
"... to retain position information about each backup set
that it sends to the TSM server's BACKUPPOOL storage pool".
Is this "backup set" a usual TSM-backupset or anything else ?
6. They talk of a "virtual single tape drive robotic library" (page 788).
Does this imply that only 1 real drive can be used for
migration/restore ?
Any further recommendations/comments "to promote / not to promote" this
option would be very appreciated.
Peter
