Re: Activate SKLM on existing TS3500 partition
We only relabel scratch on our VTL. On the 3500 physical library, we don't relabel the tapes. Once a scratch tape is mounted, it will encrypt the data on that tape. When we implemented the TKLM encryption, I created another copypool to speed up the process just to get all of the tapes encrypted quickly. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Maurice van 't Loo Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2015 5:14 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Activate SKLM on existing TS3500 partition Hello Kevin, Thanks for your answer.

We will need to have encryption on the device and the ability to replicate between the two disk units. Why do you have to have encryption on the device? No, that wasn't a sarcastic question. If someone pulls a disk out of your DataDomain RAID, what can they do with it? Your data is striped across many drives, in chunks that are admittedly large enough to have a whole mailing address on it. Is someone afraid that someone else will steal one or more drives and then read unstructured streams of data looking for PII? Really? There's no chance that a tape will fall off a truck as you ship your backups off site. Sure, encrypt the VPN between sites, or use a dedicated network. But that doesn't mean you have to encrypt your data on the appliance, unless you're more paranoid than I am (or answer to people who are more paranoid than I am). At this point, I start worrying more about debacles from poor implementation or management of encryption than I do about loss of unencrypted data. Anyone have any comments or recommendations? Besides DataDomain, HP, and IBM, I'm sure the rest of EMC, Oracle, and even small brands like Coraid would propose different solutions. For example, why not replicate cheap disk, on top of which you build FILE devices? Do you need the cost of a DataDomain or ProtecTier front-end, or do you just replicate unduplicated data? Oracle and Coraid will sell you large arrays of cheap disk with ZFS front-ends that could replicate data if you need it and could deduplicate the data as justified. I'm not saying I'd want to bet my job on Coraid, but others find there cost advantage over DataDomain attractive. Thanks, Kevin Nick

Re: Windows PIT Restore issues
I did try creating a management class with the following settings and specified the management class in the opt file using DIRMC MCNOLIMIT Versions Data Exists nolimit Version Data Deleted nolimit Retain Extra Versions 90 Retain Only Version90 Could be that the MCNOLIMIT has not been bound to those folders. If Im reading your article correctly, even with the current settings (retain extra version = 30) it seems that I can only go back 1-2 days before the folder will not be displayed in the GUI. This makes sense since the versions data exist = 2.

Re: Netware restore requirement question
Novell has a Server Consolidation Utility that allows you to move data from old servers to newer ones. It's a free download. We attempted to preform a backup and restore and ran into issues with the volume sizes being different. Kevin William Boyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/11/07 12:52 PM We have a client with a couple old Netware 4.11 servers running TSM client 4.2.3.0. These nodes will be retired and the hardware will go away. But there is a requirement to keep the data for possible future restores. We were thinking of installing a newer version of Netware as a VMware virtual machine using a newer supported client. The current 4.11 filespaces are all NTW:LONG. Can we restore (using either FROMNODE or VIRTUALNODENAME) from the old 4.11 node's data to this new node? What are the compatibility, or more specific the INcompatibilities in doing restores across Netware releases. Bill Boyer Select * from USERS where CLUE0 0 rows returned
Re: VMWare and software archeology
We had the same issue at our hospital. We used an imaging software and VMware server to migrate these systems off of the old hardware. If you ever loose the server, you only have to restore a few files (the .vmx and .vmdk files). There is support for Windows 95 on VMWare server and you can emulate IDE or SCSI drives. BTW, VMWare Server is free. Kevin Thomas Denier [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/05/07 4:40 PM I work for a large hospital. Four or five years ago one of the clinical departments replaced a system used to collect and store results from procedures. The old system was built around a proprietary database and ran on a Windows 95 platform that was getting old even when the system was replaced. The department concluded that it was economically infeasible to migrate the contents of the proprietary database to the replacement system. The department still needs read-only access to the information in the old database. Depending on the demographics of their patients, they may need this kind of access for another 20 years; clinical data is normally retained for 7 years after collection or 7 years after the patient's 18th birthday, whichever is later. The department has so far maintained read-only access to the data by keeping the old system up and running with no network connection. The staff access old records using the system's own keyboard and monitor. The department has also had the IS department retain the last TSM backups of the old system. If they need access to their data after the old system stops working, they expect us to perform a bare metal recovery to replacement hardware. This strategy will get less and less plausible as Windows 95 recedes further into the past. I don't know whether we have any alternatives to the this strategy. In particular, I don't know whether the old software will run under newer versions of Windows, and I don't know whether we still have usable distribution media for the old software. Can VMWare simulate a hardware environment compatible with Windows 95 even when the host system is using contemporary hardware? For example, can VMWare simulate an IDE disk drive if the host system is really using SATA, local SCSI, or a SAN to access disk drives?

I have gotten a request to share the code I used. My experiments were done in 2004. I don't know whether all of the commands will work with newer OS levels. The process always involved a scheduled event with 'action=command' and 'object' parameter consisting of an 'exit' command followed by something that evaluates to the number of processors. For Windows I used: object=exit %number_of_processors% I don't think this works correctly with hyperthreading processors; I think it reports the total number of hyperthreads rather than the number of processors. For Linux I used: object=exit `grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo|wc -l` This has the same problem with hyperthreading as my Windows code. However, the /proc/cpuinfo psuedo-file also contained 'sibling' lines reporting the number of hyperthreads per processor. I captured this number using the following: object=exit `grep ^siblings /proc/cpuinfo|head -1|cut -d: -f2` This code assumes that all of the sibling values are the same. As far as I know, nobody is marketing systems that violate this assumption. For HP-UX I used: object=exit `/etc/ioscan -kC processor|grep processor|wc -l` For AIX I used: object=exit `lsdev -Cc processor|wc -l` For Solaris I used: object=exit `/usr/sbin/psrinfo|wc -l` The Web search that turned up this command also turned up a warning that no known method of querying processor counts works on all Solaris releases.

They want the count of _processor chips_ and the number of cores on each. The straight answer for the RS-6000 is I just don't know. We ordered some number of dual-cpu features on the P5 systems; AIX is telling me I have that count of CPUs (and, because I have SMT on, nmon gives me twice this count). Short of opening the box, I've got no good way to answer the question. And even then . . . they're asking the wrong question. There are some number of CPU chips in a CPU module (quick -- no research -- the 55Q is a quad-cpu system; the cpu chips are smaller. Are there two cpu modules with two chips each or one module with 4 chips?) In any case, I should be able to get whatever the silly metric is by doing a query node f=d, or matching select. And this, of course, breaks big-time as soon as you start running under vmware ESX or any of the unix-related lpar environments.
