What kind of infrastructure do you have setup to make > this successful? For the record, here is what we ended up doing. We have a HP EVA 9K that we use for the storage of 6 Mirapoint boxen. We start by making a snapshot of the mirapoint storage LU, then present that to a backup 'frontend'. The frontend mounts that LU. Using the TSM image backup client, we then backup the image to TSM. During the day, we make offsite copies per TSM normal processing. With Mirapoint M5K's and SAN storage, individual mailbox restores that you might have had with NDMP and TOC support are gone. Since we have promised through legacy service levels to provide mail folder restores to our customers up to seven days past, we have a spare M5K that allows us to restore an image from any one of the servers, then to an IMAP copy of the mailbox to the production server. For tape device, we are using our 3494 tape library with the new 3592 E05 drives, which totally rock IMHO. Caveats: Mirapoint engineering is working on a patch to allow the growth of a LU from your original defined size to the max size supported. M5K's have a max LU size of 1TB, there are some other limitations, but I forget what they are. There is only one OS that will allow you to 'mount' the snapshot from the Mirapoint box .. FreeBSD. You can run the TSM image client in Linux compat mode, and it works fine. It may look messy, but it works fine for us at the moment, and we have inhouse support for FreeBSD. You can't do anything other than read the LU from the frontend, since the FreeBSD da driver knows that something is wrong with the label and the superblock of the disk. Mirapoint runs with a customized BSD filesystem. We had to write a few scripts that create the snaps, to the presentation of the lu to the frontend, then fire off a backup. The script(s) is run through the TSM scheduler. You may be able to pull the mounting of of the Mirapoint disk on Solaris, or AIX, if you use some type of generic driver. Our attempts failed, since the drivers are too picky at how the partition structure is to deal with it. We found that you may be able to 'see' the device, but just not be able to do anything with it. We run the backups directly to tape, since it would be to wasteful to go to disk yet again, and like I said the drives are smoking, so we can stream to them at better than disk speed, and get very good compression. I have almost 2.5TB on some of the tapes. This beats the price of disk hands down, and the ROI/TCO is lower. We like not having to deal with NDMP any more, and use native TSM processing to work with the Mirapoint storage. We have tested restores from active processing, and they work ok for now. Some tell us because of the nature of Mirapoint operations, and 'snapshots' that we may be rolling the dice when it comes to a consistent restore, but we don't have any alternatives that meet our budget, and offsite requirements except for this. Happy hunting, and I hope this helps people out there. Contact me offline if you have any additional questions, or need further details. Bob Booth UIUC/CITES
Re: NDMP
Sunmansun, Hey we just received word that Mirapoint does not support a fiber attached drive. So my question for you, is how are you doing it? Do you have a separate library connected to the Mirapoint server via the SCSI (LVD) port? What kind of infrastructure do you have setup to make this successful? Thanks! Aaron Thanks!

Re: TSM Server Disk Upgrade
Bill, For primary disk STGPOOLS that do not have caching turned on, I would update all the volumes to be read-only, make sure that a backup to copypool has completed and then migrate them down to zero. You can query the content of the volumes afterwards to be doubly sure that they are empty. You can then delete the volumes and redefine them as necessary after your disk upgrade/reorg. If by any chance there is data on them, TSM will tell you. If you have any dirs diskpools that are on areas of disk that will be affected by your reorg/upgrade, I would define new volume(s) that are possibly on local disk/disk unaffected, then mark the vols read-only and perform a move data. For any primary disk stgpools that have caching turned on; if memory serves me correctly the best way to empty them out, is with a move data to the next stg pool (tape pool). Again, mark all the volumes read-only to ensure no new data can be written to them. No data will be moved, but the cached copies will be purged. >From help move data "When you move files from a random access volume, the server erases any cached copies of files on the volume." For the db & log volumes; If you have enough disk spare that will not be affected by your upgrade (ie local disk), you could define db copy volumes on this disk and TSM will synchronise them. This process does take time and you will most certainly experience a performance degradation, but it will ensure TSM stays operational during the disk upgrade. When the sync is complete, you can delete the old volumes. This may not help you reorganise your DB vols, as the db copy vols have to be at least the same size as the originals. When your disk upgrade is finished you can perform the process again and define db copy volumes and sync back. As always with this type of work, I would ensure that at least one good DB backup is performed before commencing the process.
