Re: JVM and web admin GUI
Actually, windows update no longer has the Microsoft VM on it as a result of their pending settlement with Sun. So, I just got a new laptop and of course it didn't have the MS VM in it. I finally found it from a third party site. But, the reality is, given that Microsoft will no longer support their own VM environment, that IBM should be working on fixing the command line piece of the server GUI. -Original Message- From: Christian Svensson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 12:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: JVM and web admin GUI File: ecblank.gif File: graycol.gif File: pic00450.gif Hi Eric!

Re: SV: overland tape library?
I have been looking at Overland also. Their libraries are very aggressively priced in the midrange storage market against the ADIC and STK libraries. The maintenance prices are certainly better and the scalability is better as well. In my research I found that Sybase uses them in their own data centers and Microsoft uses them in a facility that is used for demonstrating that Unix systems can migrate to Microsoft. There were numerous other organizations using Overland libraries, but I thought I would only mention a couple. I spoke to several references that were provided, without the vendor on the phone call, and found no issues. Several references were using Tivoli with Overland libraries.

Find a reseller who carries Overland Data libraries. The primary source of Overland libraries used to be Compaq, but since the HP/Compaq merger they are obviously going to only selling HP libraries. Overland's libraries scale very well in the midrange and are extremely cost competitive compared to HP, IBM, Adic, StorageTek, etc. They have been selling libraries for a long time and have a good track record and a lot of reference customers who use Tivoli.

Even if you only have one or two disk pools, it's useful to have more than a few volumes per pool, because instantaneously only on thing can write to a volume at a time. So, for example, if you have 12 clients backing up, and one 70G disk volume, there is contention for the thread controlling that one volume. So calculate the size so that you'll have as many volumes as you feel like keeping track of, but not many more than that. - Allen S. Rout
Re: RAW volumes or not
I run my TSM servers on Solaris 8. I use raw volumes built with Solstice DiskSuite (Solaris Volume Manager in Solaris 9). When I first brought TSM up on Solaris I put my db, logs and disk pools on UFS with logging and the performance was awful. Solaris 8 UFS is actually quite fast for most applications so I was rather surprised at the performance problem. I've never tried TSM using VxFS, I saw no need to. The performance with raw volumes is very good. JFS is not native to Solaris, and I don't know of any way to use JFS on Solaris. If you want a journalled file system use VxFS or UFS with logging. With the improvements in DiskSuite I really can't see much reason to use Veritas. It's costly and for most environments only gives minimal performance improvements.

Re: TSM and protocol converters
I use StorageTek FC to SCSI bridges (SN3250 usually) to connect my SCSI libraries to my TSM servers. I have done it with both NT and Solaris servers, and had very few issues. The main difference is ensuring you have the FC HBA drivers loaded. The server will see the SCSI library as ... a SCSI library.

To avoid having to spend a fortune on a huge server just to get the I/O slots I need to support HV Diff SCSI, I'm thinking of using protocol converters to reduce the number of I/O slots in the new server. In other words, the server would provide Fibre Channel or Gigabit E or even LV Diff SCSi but I would connect my existing libraries via their HV Diff SCSI interfaces, with the protocol converter in the middle. Assuming this is technically feasible (and I know there are FC to SCSI converters) would TSM work in such an arrangement? What would change relative to simply plugging in a SCSI cable into the server as I have now? Server is pSeries or RS/6000; TSM is currently 4.1 but the new server would (very soon) enter service at 5.1. Thanks in Advance, Tab Trepagnier TSM Administrator Laitram Corporation

FC-SCSI Bridge issues
Has anyone seen something similar and have any ideas? Our configuration is: Dell Server with Qlogic 2200F HBA, Win2K SP2, TSM 4.2.1.9 Ancor SANBox 16 FC switch STK 3250 FC-SCSI Bridge Sun StorEdge L60 DLT8000 Library (4 drives) The switch is zoned so that only the TSM server and the bridge are in one zone. TSM hard drives are also on the SAN, but in a separate zone. Everything works fine normally. But occasionally we receive SCSI errors from adsmscsi and lose connectivity to the tape drives. Once that happens the only apparent solution is to restart the bridge and the TSM server. Any thoughts/ideas/input would be appreciated. This typically happens during large TDPO backups. Unfortunately it means we have not had a good backup of a large data mart in this network in the past month. I'm ready to bag the fiber connections and go back to SCSI on this subsystem.

Re: Rman/TSm
With TDP for Oracle you set a parameter called DSMO_AVG_SIZE. Every time a file is sent to TSM that parameter is used to allocate space in the storage pool. The real file size is not allocated until the entire file is written to TSM. This action occurs for every channel allocated. So, if you are allocating 4 channels with a DSMO_AVG_SIZE parm of 1024 MB, every time RMAN sends a file each channel allocates 1024 MB in your storage pool. This can't automatically migrate into your next storage pool. If you are running your TDP backups to disk first you need to tune DSMO_AVG_SIZE to be close to the average for your database files, the number of channels used and the migration thresholds for your disk storage pools.
