TSM 6.1 & New features to backup GPFS
Does anyone have any experience backing up a GPFS file system on Linux. A colleague had mentioned that he was at 2009 Pulse conference, and that he had heard at that conference that there was a new feature in TSM 6.1 that would allow the ba client to more efficiently backup a GPFS file system. I have not been able to find anything about this, and was wondering if anyone has any information about this. The only things I have been able to find out about TSM 6.1 and how it relates to GPFS is the following: WHAT'S NEW IN TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER 6.1? LAN-free backups to shared disk pool using GPFS (AIX, Linux and Windows ). Support for the IBM General Purpose File System (GPFStm) for storage pool usage and LANfree access. This allows for storage agents and servers to access FILE devclass storage from multiple physical systems on the LAN. The use of GPFS allows backup traffic to be taken off of the LAN and moved to a SAN environment. This helps reduce server utilization and enables more concurrent operations by distributing them across multiple storage agents. Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks V6.1 is required to take advantage of this capability. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management V6.1 File management has been enhanced and simplified in Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management. When used in conjunction with the IBM General Parallel File Systemtm (GPFS), files managed by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management can be moved from one GPFS storage pool (for example, fast RAID) to another GPFS storage pool (for example, slower SATA disks) while the filename will remain the same, including its directory and filesystem name. Any information you have, would be greatly appreciated. James Choate S1 IT Solutions
Re: New Features??
Interesting . . . I called in a PMR on the day I posted the message and I have yet to hear from support - in spite of a request for update (via the web and phone). Thanks for the heads up; I'll watch out for the fix. Mahesh >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/23/02 01:23AM >>> Hello Mahesh I've reported this problem to Tivoli.

Re: tsm 4.2 new features for windows nt perf
Len - I am very interested in this feature too. I expect it to eliminate the download from the server which takes a lot of cpu. I downloaded the client and tried journal backup to a 4.1.2 test server and it didn't work. I called in a problem report; the answer from Tivoli is that even though the winnt/2k client manual doesn't explicitly say that a 4.2 level server is required, that is the case. So if you want to test journalled backups, order the 4.2 server upgrade asap. -- -- Bill Colwell C. S. Draper Lab Cambridge, Ma.

Re: tsm 4.2 new features for windows nt perf
Great question. Specifically, I'd like to know how much journal based backups reduce the millions-of-little-files problem, i.e., TSM client spends all its time walking a huge directory tree, only to discover that there's little or nothing to back up. (Of course, this problem can occur with Unix systems too - so if journal based backups is the fix, when will it be there for unix?) > -Original Message- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Len Boyle > Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 6:33 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: tsm 4.2 new features for windows nt perf > > > Hello > > Here is a small extract from the ann letter on the new tsm 4.2 product. > This sounds like a great new feature. > Is there anyone that can expand on the new windows Journal based backups? > > > > > WINDOWS ENHANCEMENTS > JOURNAL-BASED BACKUPS -- TSM client journaling improves > overall incremental backup performance for Windows NT and Windows > 2000 clients.

tsm 4.2 new features for windows nt perf
Hello Here is a small extract from the ann letter on the new tsm 4.2 product. This sounds like a great new feature. Is there anyone that can expand on the new windows Journal based backups? WINDOWS ENHANCEMENTS JOURNAL-BASED BACKUPS -- TSM client journaling improves overall incremental backup performance for Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients. Performance is improved because the files to be backed up are tracked in a journal. Journal-based backups eliminate the need for the client to scan the local file system or query the server to determine which files to process. It also reduces network traffic between the client and server. Thanks len boyle
