Re: AS/400 backup to TSM
Maybe this could help. Just saw this new draft redbook last week: http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedpieceAbstracts/sg247031.html Integrating Backup Recovery and Media Services and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager on iSeries Bill Boyer DSS, Inc. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Daniel Sparrman Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 6:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AS/400 backup to TSM Hi Joe Thats correct. Only the "user data" can be backed up using BRMS and the TSM api. To backup all system-defined objects, you will still need to use a locally attached tape library/drive. We've also seen perfomance issues with this solution, as the BRMS and TSM api first backs up to disk, and then transfers the data to the TSM server. During testing, making backups to a locally attached LTO1 drive fast 7 times faster than transfering the data to the TSM server(which was based on AIX). I dont know what kind of library you are using, but another way of going at it is partitioning the library(if you're library has this option) so that the AS/400 can have it's own drives within the library.
