Re: Need timeline/version for inline-dedup container stgpool with tape vaulting support

[Matthew McGeary]

Michaud,

You should sign up for the beta program.  Even if (like myself) you don't 
have the time or hardware to do direct testing, you will get early insight 
into roadmaps, have input on design choices and generally know and shape 
the future of the product.

In particular, the question you're asking will be answered, along with 
more. 

Regards,

We are looking at upgrading our existing TSM 7.1.1.300 server (on AIX).
We would really like to gain benefits from the reworked inline dedup 
architecture (hopefully it wont pound the db2 as much), but our current DR 
strategy relies on external vaulting of LTO tapes.
Anyone has a roadmap (w/ versions and tentative dates) when the 
inline-dedup container stgpool will support this ?

I cannot discuss confidential dates on a public forum. I can tell you that 
this is a known high priority requirement.

If you want more details and to understand time frames, please connect 
with your IBM representative and they can share this information with you 
under NDA.

You can also join our beta program if you want to be more closely involved 
as well as get access to early code. If this is of interest, mention this 
to your IBM representative.


Thank you,

Del

Need timeline/version for inline-dedup container stgpool with tape vaulting support

[Michaud, Luc [Analyste principal - environnement AIX]]

We are looking at upgrading our existing TSM 7.1.1.300 server (on AIX).
We would really like to gain benefits from the reworked inline dedup 
architecture (hopefully it wont pound the db2 as much), but our current DR 
strategy relies on external vaulting of LTO tapes.

Tape Vaulting

[Steve and Hilda Harris]

Hi All

I'm trying to put a square peg into a round hole and wonder if you guys can
help

I'm trying to set up offsite vaulting on a TSM server, without DRM and I've
been directed to use the same storage company that has been used in the
past.  This company only offers a "box" level service, ie they will take a
box of tapes off-site for storage and bring it back on request.  They will
not open the box to retrieve a single volume, and every box movement is
charged for.

My first thought was to put one tape in each box G
Other than that ...

Lets assume that we keep boxes off site on a 60 day rotation

DBB volumes will be ok, just delete them from volhist at 60 days.
For copypool volumes, all I can think of is to check the date last written
and run move data on any that are not empty or pending at 60
days-reusedelay.  Also I'll set the reclaim level so that most tapes are
reclaimed before they would need to have data moved

How does everyone else handle this?


Thanks

Steve,

We too have a service that only works with a "box".  We send our people to
the service once a month to go through the boxes and bring back tapes.  If
you can't do this then your other option is to have two copypools.
Switching between the two.
