Re: TSM Database Location

[Richard Cox]

Brenda,

The procedures can be found in the Server Administrators Guide.

Steps as follows.

Create space on filesystem (Nothing to do with TSM)
Use "dsmfmt" to create the DB files in the area you want.

Within TSM

Create DB volumes pointing to the files you just created,
Extend DB
Remove DB volume (original one.)

I am being simplistic, but it is well covered in the Admin Guide
(Available online from www.tivoli.com)

Can you tell me how to move it or where there might be some specific
instructions for this process?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brenda

Hi,

I'd suggest to move it to it's own filesystem placed on an redundant
disk
array, enjoying high performance and recoverability.
We placed our database volumes on an ESS subsystem. Where you place it
is
your own choice. Just try to achieve redundancy.


Have fun.

We are just setting up a new TSM server.  It appears to load the default
database under /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin.  Is it common practice to
leave
it there or to move it to it's own separate location? Any
recommendations?

Thanks,
Brenda

Re: TSM Database Location

Brenda,

As it's in /opt/ can I assume it is a SUN box.

In AIX, best practices is to setup the DB and LOGS on a separate
filesystem, preferably spreading mirrors of each across separate
spindles.

The default DB and LOG is installed to get the server up and running,
and is normally far too small, however alows you to run the server while
creating and migrating onto your structured designed DB's

Re: Slow restores

[Richard Cox]

Wieslaw,

A typical reason for long search times is a high reclaimation value and
no colocation.  If you have a lot of servers, this can really fragment
the data across the volumes

Subject: Slow restores

Hi,
After issuing node restore command my library spends a lot of time
seeking
for something on tape. The actual restore takes comparatively little
time.
Can anybody explain me what is happening? And is it possible to shorten
the
"seeking" period?
Thank you for your help in advance - Wieslaw
