Re: TSM for SYS-back Recovery!!
I agree. Just use the AIX install cd/dvd and follow the instructions to reload via sysback. We use a cronjob to backup our machines via sysback on a weekly basis. Then use the client to backup data daily.

Sysback works great and is cheap, too! Not only can you create backups and boot and restore from standalone media, but it also integrates with your NIM server. And if THAT's not enough for a posting on a TSM listserv, you can send your sysback backups to TSM to store, and restore from there, too. When you boot to restore (either from your sysback-enabled NIM server or your standalone floppy/DVD/tape), you are presented with a menu that not only allows you to Just Restore your system (again either from TSM, standalone media, or NIM), but also lets you make changes to the LVM structure when you do. Dunno why more AIX shops don't use it; it's been a hit wherever I've seen it.

Re: Error when define library path IBM 3576
This has the feeling of a hardware problem OR scsi interface/drivers/firmware which are not compatible. Is that combination of hardware/firmware/driver code supported /up_to_date I would check on the latest firmware for the library.

Re: TSM for SYS-back Recovery!!
You don't need a nim server... If you have set TSM up correctly it will have a spot to start the download. Just set your service menu to point at the TSM server at bootup...( it acts as a NIM server) Sorry I don't have my notes right here with me... As I recall the TSM server will respond to the bootup from the client and allow you to pick from the backups available to the client address you have configured in your service menu. Hope I'm being clear...

I ran a test directly to LTO3 tape and performance improved dramatically, anywhere from 40 to 70MB/sec. So, I've got my Solaris guy looking at his disk array for potential write problems, since restore performance was not really a problem. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

The client has several very large files to be backed up (300-400GB). We are finding on a 1.3GB test file that we can only get a throughput of about 10MB/sec (looks like 100Mb speed) even though this client is configured on a GigE VLan. One interesting aspect just discovered is that a restore of the same file got speeds of 37MB/sec, which is about the same as an FTP of the same file from the client to the server. Client, switch, and server all set to 1GB full. At this point, I'm completely mystified as to what might be behind these performance anomalies. I would expect much higher throughput rates on all of these tests, but would be satisfied if the backup would just perform at the same speed as the others.

Re: Win2K3 backup performance
Hi Sam, I had a similar problem with a notes server running W2003. I was using the tdp client for lotus notes. My work around was to take a second network interface on the server and lock both the port and the client down to 100/full duplex. This tdp client is the only one I have to run on this second interface and it works fine now. I don't know if you have a hdwe. second interface, but if you do, try adding another ip address and give it a try...TSM allows for the use of more then one hdwe. interface... At any rate kindly let me know what your resolution is as I'm interested... thx jimmyd James Drozynski IBM Pittsburgh Lab 11 Stanwix Street Pittsburgh Pa. 15222 Tel:412-667-4421 Fax:412-667-6975 Tie:989-4421
