dlt tapes and labels
Hi, We currently have an ATL library with dlt drives. We have decided to switch our offsite storage vendor. Come to find out we need to put their barcode on the dlt tapes. We would prefer not to replace what we currently use, but due to needing to track both numbers for recall if we don't. So their suggestion is to put their label on the left side of the tape cartridge! Has anyone else run into this and if so what have you done? thanks Paul Paul J.

schedule help
Hi, we trying to tune the schedule so that processes don't overlap and was curious on how others are pulling this off. our environment F50 2 processors AIX 4.3.3 ML10 TSM 4.1.1 approx 500 gb disk space and another 150 gb to bring online. ATL tape library with 4 dlt 7000 tape drives client nightly backup data is about 200 gb our disk to tape backup takes 6.5 hours alone our clients run from 6:00 pm to 6:00am and right now we have schedules running from 3:00 am to 1:00 am with alot of overlaps i.e.: reclamations and migration at the same time, also backups with migrations. I was able to schedule everything on paper from 6:00 am to 1:00 am but again we have clients doing their backups from 6:00 pm we are going to 5.1.6.2, this weekend, which should help with multi threading I hope! any thoughts would greatly be appreciated. Thanks Paul Coviello

how to keep all data on disk for quicker restores
Hi as the subject refers to how to keep all data on disk for quicker restores I have been tasked, again, to change the way TSM operates and to do a scheduled full backup once a week and incrementals in between. ( stop laughing! ) we currently have an H70 running AIX with an ATL P2000 100 tape library. and others in the dept want to have data so that at any point we can restore a system from disk. and not tape unless of a disaster. we currently have vers set for 30 and no co-location. our diskpool is currently 60gb we seem to backup approx 80gb a night. if anyone would like to share thier thoughts... because mine are going very quickly thanks Paul Paul J Coviello Sr Systems Analyst Catholic Medical Center 2456 Brown Ave Manchester, NH 03103 603 663-5326

As far as your second question. Petur's select statement looks quite similar to the one I have written to do the same thing. It's you first question that can be quite interesting. First let me say that there is no single right answer to this question. You must consider all things in your environment and then make a decision. One of the other response had mentioned turning on cache=yes for the diskpool. I am not saying that is wrong or that it won't work, however you should realize that it will but a burden on the system during you backup window when clients are writing to the diskpool in addition it will increase the size of you TSM DB and TSM log usage. What happens is that when a file is cached the DB keeps tracks 2 objects for the same file, one in the diskpool and one in the tapepool. Eventually the diskpool becomes physically full. When the next file arrives TSM saves that file which may cause one or more of the cached files to be dropped, therefore TSM has to to some extra DB transactions to remove the cached file references from the DB. All of this is consuming cpu cycles and I/O bandwidth at the time when you need it the most. Therefore, unless performance is not an issue I do not use the cache=yes option for a diskpool. So here is what I generally do for my customers and why: 1) I size disk storage pools to hold 2.25 x the amount of nightly data transferred to the server disk pool. 2) I set MIGDelay=1 so that I hold data on disk a minimum of 1 day. 3) I do my migrations after business hours, but before my backup window starts. The reasoning: 1) Having 2.25 x the normal daily data traffic in my diskpool allows me to hold 2 days worth of data and have a little head room for the unexpected. 2) The combination of 2 and 3 from above gives me the ability to restore from disk any thing that has changed in the last 2 days, i.e. all business day Wednesday my customers will be able to restore from disk anything that has changed since the Sunday night/Monday morning backup. 3) Another aspect is, since I do my ba stg diskpool copypool prior to migration all of my writes to copy pools are from disk to tape not tape to tape. I still do a ba stg tapepool copypool just in case something fell thru the cracks, but this normally runs instantly with no data having to be moved. Proper scheduling can really make a difference in how well your TSM environment runs. Since scheduling is so important you will also see people have a variety of opinions on how it should be done. In fact I have seen people argue over scheduling like they were religious wars! The bottom line is you must look at the whole picture not just one aspect of it. There are many things to consider besides what is the backup window for my clients. You should also consider operator availability to load/unload tapes from the library, when to tapes physically get taken offsite, what are the frequency and size of your restores and many other factors as well. One last thing to consider, always make sure that you have about 4 hours a day, preferably during normal hours, when you have nothing scheduled. This is to allow you time to catch up in the event of some unforeseen

We use a small LTO library for the copypool. We backup 360 servers (80 to 100 GB total) nightly and growing. The TSM database is 10GB sitting on raid 10 with 15K rpm drives (very fast) , i also defrag the DB monthly. This is a dream setup and works very well, restores run in the blink of a eye. I run the TSM server by myself as a part-time duty. I would suggest just growing your disks storage on your backuppool to at least 1 TB to keep backups and restore running fast, allowing older data to migrate to your existing tape library.

disaster recovery ?
I have been asked the following, if we lost our TSM server and tape library, ATL P2000, with currently 100 slots and 4 drives upgrading soon to 198 or so slots. Would a P1000 work with 2 drives and I believe 100 slots. We are currently managing approximately 140 tapes now. The question is do I have to load all the tapes that are offsite into the library at once to restore it? or can I fill it and answer requests as they come? thanks Paul

You can adjust this X value till you get as many tapes as you need to pull out. The do: move media * stg=POOLNAME days=X wherestate=mountablein This will remove all tapes with this criteria out of library. (You can add remove=bulk if you havew a bulk I/O station) This doesn't gaurantee that these tapes won't be needed an hour after you remove them, but using the days parameter reduces the possiblity. When a restore/retrieve/reclamation needs one of the tapes you removed, there will be a pronpt on the Console for that tape. No real way to predict when a tape is needed.

I work for a Health System that has split up. One side owns the TSM server (a Netstore 3466, Ver. 3.7.3.6, Aix 4.3.2, about 70 clients, WinNt, Novell, HP Unix, Aix, Linux, about 12tb) and the other side (my employer) owns the StorageTek 9740 SCSI library, (with 6 clients, HP Unix and Aix, about 3 tb). I have been doing the TSM Admin for both. My employer has told the other Health System to make arrangements to move their data off our library. The one good thing is that the data on the TSM server is all short term data, no archives or anything like that on this server. Data could be expired in about 4 weeks. My employer is buying me a used IBM M80 as our TSM server and with the STK9740, I'll have a complete system. I'm not sure what the other side is going to do but they will at least have to purchase a library and connect it to the Netstore. I have advised them to get a whole new system. The old Netstore 3466 is a C00 model, I have to use pressure bandages on it on a daily basis to stop the bleeding. They just have too much data for that box to process. What I'm asking is for any ideas on how to use the pieces in this setup so that everyone has access to their old data. Of course, the main issue is the data, but Exporting/Importing the other sides 12+tb seems like it would be a long drawn out affair. I'm not skilled enough yet to know what my alternatives are. What I'm wondering is, is it possible to connect the STK9740 to my new TSM server and then perhaps connect a couple of its drives (it has 10 DLT7000's and 600 DLT4 tapes) to the old Netstore for a period of time? If possible, I hope this would do two things for me. One, it would allow me to just export the old server with only node/domain/schedule info without client data but would still allow me access to my old data until not needed. Second, it would allow the other side access to a couple of drives with which to move their data. Is this feasible? Does anyone have a different idea on how this should be done. If it was you, what would you do? Thanks for any help, Danny. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
