Re: Client/Server questions on Exchange 2007 TDP

2007-11-19 Thread Barnhart, Troy
I haven't rolled to v5.5.0 - yet...

I have TSM v5.3.5 Server and on the Exchange 2007 x64 - TSM v5.4.1.3 and TDP 
v.5.4.1.0.

But, it does Legacy-Backups only...   We don't have the necessary components 
for the VSS-backups.

You have to get the TDP v.5.4.1.0 from the Passport website...

Hello Everyone,

I want to upgrade our TSM server so that we can use TDP; the version compatible 
with Exchange 2007 x64 but it seems there is only a version 5.5.0. Do I have to 
upgrade to TSM server 5.5.0 to get Exchange 2007 TDP?  Currently we are running 
5.3.3 TDP for our Exchange Server 2003 and 5.3.6 for the TSM server.

Sorry for the miscommunication...

v.5.4.1 does support VSS-backups.

I meant that my facility doesn't have the necessary components.

Am I the only one who has difficulty finding the software you need on the

I can find version 5.5.0 and 5.3.3 among several older ones...

http://www.ibm.com/products/finder/us/finders?lc=enC2=5000787C1=5000674tmpl=%2Fproducts%2Ffinder%2Fus%2Fen%2Ffindersibm-go.y=9ibm-go.x=20sid=881498821195500692825cc=usN=914+5000787+1000100+350oldC1=5000674collectionN=0cm_re=other-_-suprcn-_-downloadfinderN=1000100pg=ddfinder;

Does anyone have a clue for me on where to find this client?

So the newer 5.4.1 client works with the older server without issues? Does tsm 
server work with any client version or is there specific versions required to 
function correctly?

VSS-backups will be able to be done via the new 5.5.0 version though; correct?

Re: Scheduling a full archive of data once/month

2007-10-22 Thread Barnhart, Troy
84 Monthly Archives - be careful on how that will make your TSM-database
grow...

(Depending on how many nodes and how many objects backed up per node...)

Our TSM database grew from 30GB to over 300GB in under two years and
nearly cratered the Win2k server.

We moved to 3 TSM servers (same versions as you have) - 2 beefy AIX
servers for daily backups and 1 AIX server strictly for the monthly
archive.

The archive server backs up less than a dozen nodes (with detailed
incl/excl) for the past 5 years  we currently have about a TSM-database
of around 150GB...

Just a heads-up...

Re: AW: [ADSM-L] RAC backups

2007-04-24 Thread Barnhart, Troy
We are building our first RAC.  Due to the requirements of the vendor's product,
we are building a 3-way RAC cluster (on Win2k3-64bit).

We usually use BMC's SQLBacktrack for all of our databases, but BMC has released
a client supporting RAC on Windows, yet.

Right now we are using RMAN to output a flat-file and having TSM BAclient pick 
that up.

I'd like to try TDP to a separate TSM node for the database filespace.

I'd appreciate any advice, also...

 Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Follow-up on: Problems with Imation ultrium-2 (LTO-2) tapes?

2007-04-13 Thread Barnhart, Troy
When we first install our first 3584 three years ago, we bought around
200 Imation LTO2 tapes.  They lasted about a month and we also RMA'd 
them all...   

We've been on Maxell's for the last three years with maybe 10 tapes,
at the most, that have been bad from hundreds of tapes.  (And we're not
sure it was the tape that was bad, but maybe a bad drive causing it to
fail.)  We have a volume of about 1.2TB/day.

We've heard several similar stories as ours.  But, another local company
uses Imation in their 3584 (although 3494, not LTO2) with no problems.

Just for what it's worth - an observation.
I run about 2.4 TB of data through my 3584 on a daily process, between 
archives, 
backups, and off-site copies. I've had the same 4 cleaning tapes in place since 
my first 3584, with LTO-1 drives, just over 5 years now - and one tape has had 
a count of 11 uses. All from early days, using the tape to verify drives after 
maintenance. The count is now at 35; I've done 24 cleaning cycles this week on 
16 drives.  I have an RMA number.

Is there any particular firmware I should be running in my IBM drives to work 
with Imation tapes? We've been running Fuji and IBM with no issues for years, 
but we put a group of new Imation tapes in Friday - and I've had write errors 
on 4 of them so far, and a read error on one that caused the drive to go 
not-ready 
to the point it won't soft-reset. I am back-level on drive firmware (I don't 
usually fix anything that's working) so I thought I'd check that before I get 
an RMA from the vendor for the tapes.

From looking at the Tivoli conference agendas in the past, TSM plays a 
fractional part in the sessions provided. USERBlue (sometimes in conjunction 
with SHARE) seems to provide more for TSMers. I went to the one in NYC a 
couple years back, and it was great. Also, look for nearby Tivoli User Group 
Meetings and check their agenda. Just went to the one in Atlanta last week, 
and it was very informative. My rule of thumb is to keep current on events, 
and scour the sessions/agendas to see if it's worth the drive/plane ticket. A 
Tivoli conference not special to TSM is saturated with everything Tivoli, 
including pumping up the recently acquired products that are now under the 
Tivoli umbrella (i.e. NetCool, etc.)

I think that TSM 5.4 was due for release this month, however I don't know if it 
is on schedule.
I think the reindeer struggled this year and Santa was late getting to the

A list of the new features/enhancements that were scheduled to be included 
follows below. Again, some might not have made the cut.

I would imagine that some of the IBM'ers will give you a more detailed 
corporate line a little later in the day.

Possible features;

The ability to collocate active data on sequential media (typically sequential 
access disk for fast restores and reduced size disk pools).

 Integration of NDMP (Netapps/n-series) backups with TSM storage pools (allows 
filer-to-TSM-server backups).

 Support for NDMP v4.

 Backupset enhancements and improved flexibility (ability to produce 
point-intime backupsets using data in storage pools at any time).

 New Incremental backup method using a local disk cache to minimise memory 
utilisation (can now process an unbounded number of files).

 Vista Support (and Volume Shadow Copy Service integration).

 Support for Intel based Mac OS X (and standardised to use normal option file 
names).

 Support for hardware tape drive encryption.

 Various Admin Center updates.

Re: OT? TSM in a hospital environment

2006-06-19 Thread Barnhart, Troy
Been there done (and still doing) that...

We have TSM and related products for our facilities. 
(We have standardized our database backups on BMC's SqlBackTrack.)

We weigh the need of the app and usually strong-arm them back...  
If a vendor says that we can't touch their data, we DON'T touch their data.  
We put them on the hook for recovery.  I think most healthcare-vendors are 
use to hospitals that simply write a check to the vendor for services.  We 
are very hands-on with our own data...

Usually, a vendor's South Dakota support resources are not too spectacular, 
and after a disaster or two, they come around to our way of thinking.

Plus, Hospitals seem to have a bit different IT enviroment as shops in other
industries.  We have literally hundreds of applications from different vendors.
We have different servers, facilities, operating systems, VENDOR's REQUIREMENTS,

Subject: [ADSM-L] OT? TSM in a hospital environment


Are there any folks on the list that are using TSM in a
hospital? 

Sometimes we have to battle with some of our software
venders to allow us to backup their system using TSM. Sometimes they
will tell us that the system is FDA approved as is and must be backed up
using a built-in tape drive and we can't touch the system. Some times
that might be believable but not always. It seems that GE appears to be
especially hard headed in this regard. 

We bought into TSM because you back up anything (well most
anything) and not have to worry about having assorted different tape
drives scattered everywhere. 

I would like to compare notes with other TSM people if
possible.

thanks

Re: TSM Bmr ??

2005-11-28 Thread Barnhart, Troy
I'm a big fan of the Cristie's BMR for Windows and RedHat Linux.

They are pretty slick.  I can restore a box from scratch in under 10 minutes.

My only caveat for dislike hardware restores is using newer hardware.  
i.e. their driver support for older hardware.

We had problems getting older drivers to work correctly - such as old HP LH3 
Netservers.

But, with our newer IBM xSeries - very smooth...

Troy

IT's not a TSM issue, it's a Windows issue.
Microsoft does not support restoring a registry to a different machine.

That being said, they used to have a procedure in the knowledge base
that you can try.
Check there.

How you test BMR, depends on what you are trying to do.
You need different procedures for different possible disasters;

Procedures needed to restore back to the same machine after a hard drive
failure, are simpler than the case where you are restoring to different
hardware at a hot site.

Is there still a requirement to restore a TSM client to the same server
hardware type. Can the restored
server be somewhat different.

How does everyone else test the TSM BMR procedures.

$995 per server - Retail.  (You can get it a cheaper...)

I also agree on the merits of the TSM+ASR Redbook...

We've had success with both methods.
