Re: POLL: Windows SYSTEMSTATE backups
We created a couple of scripts (SYSTEMSTATE_ON and SYSTEMSTATE_OFF) and run them as needed. >>> Zoltan Forray 2018-11-06 10:27 AM >>> We are trying to reduce our ISP storage/footprint and one idea that came up was to stop backing up Windows server SYSTEMSTATE. By quick calculations, this would eliminate 50TB+ of what I consider unnecessary backups. We are not aware of anyone ever restoring a Windows server OS - usually rebuild from scratch or maybe from the daily VMware snapshot. Even for AD servers, from what I understand, they perform their own Windows backups and then backup those flat files. So, we are wondering: Do you backup SYSTEMSTATE on Windows servers? If so, why? If not, what method do you use to prevent the automatic backup of SYSTEMSTATE (CLOPTSET which includes a DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -SYSTEMSTATE is what I am thinking of pushing down from the ISP servers).

Re: TSM 6 to 7 Upgrade questions
John, You may find some useful information at this link: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.0/com.ibm.itsm.srv.install.doc/t_srv_upgrade.html Andrew >>> John Keyes 2017-10-19 6:15 AM >>> Hello, im planning to upgrade a clients TSM 6.3 server to TSM 7.1 on new hardware. However the documentation I found (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/srv.install/t_srv_upgrade63_71.html) only provides a way to make an in-place upgrade. But I need to move to new hardware. Is there a way to extract the database and import it on the new system, like it was for TSM 5 to 6 upgrade? Can i use the v5 dsmupgrd utilities to extract the TSM 6 database to Tape, and then TSM 7 dsmserv insertdb to import the database again? Best Regards, John

Re: AIX large pages with TSM
We have 2 TSM 6.3.5 servers running on zLinux.

We got talking about our TSM servers, and the IBM leader mentioned a presentation given a while ago at a IBM conference about using LARGE PAGES (16MB) with TSM to prevent lock contention. This is supposed to help if you drive some large number of tape drives concurrently. He mentioned one company that implemented this and saw a 20% increase in tape throughput. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21649823&aid=1 I'm curious if anyone out there has heard of this and possibly implemented large pages for TSM.
