Solaris x86 cluster environments
I have a user putting up a new server/application on a Solaris x86 box (yes, I know IBM discontinued support at 6.2.5). He said: *This new environment runs as a cluster, and the vendor's documentation calls for utilizing a script called dsm.cluster.sh http://dsm.cluster.sh/ that gets copied into /etc/init.d * Anybody know anything about this script? I don't see it in the tar/zip of the last 6.2.5 Solaris x86 client. -- *Zoltan Forray* TSM Software Hardware Administrator Virginia Commonwealth University UCC/Office of Technology Services zfor...@vcu.edu - 804-828-4807 Don't be a phishing victim - VCU and other reputable organizations will never use email to request that you reply with your password, social security number or confidential personal information.

How well do .pst files dedup?
Anybody looked in detail at how well .pst files dedup with TSM - (client or server-end)? **Please note new office phone: Wanda Prather | Senior Technical Specialist | wanda.prat...@icfi.com | www.icfi.comhttp://www.icfi.com | 410-868-4872 (m) ICF International | 7125 Thomas Edison Dr., Suite 100, Columbia, Md |443-718-4900 (o)
Re: How well do .pst files dedup?
Wanda, I tried deduping them and got 50% savings. I expected much more, thinking that from one day to the next, a pst should be 99% the same. I suspect that outlook makes little updates all over the file which makes it hard for tsm to find duplicate chunks. Since I only keep 3 versions, and they backup every day, I quickly realized it just isn't worth the extra server cycles. And also, as we know, deleting deduped versions is expensive too.

Re: How well do .pst files dedup?
Hi Wanda, I've had very good dedup savings with PSTs in general. I've deployed client side deduplication across all remote sites, and I wouldn't have had backups complete if it wasn't for deduplication. What used to take upwards of 3 or 4 days to backup is now complete in a few hours. PST's are a nightmare for more organizations, and this solution proved useful to us for the time being. With is a summary from a heavy load remote site. Last I checked when I was doing the initial testing (last year) that server alone had over 200 pst change on a daily basis with most over 5GB and upwards of 20GB. You would need a beefy tsm server to handle the overhead. For my data, as of last week I have 17TB in de duplicated savings across the storage pools.
