Any experiences using TS7740 Copy Export feature?
Greetings, I am hoping to heard from any IBM TS7740 Virtual tape customers that are using the copy export feature to create and send DR tapes offsite. What are your experiences? Performance implications? Conversion issues? Working as expected? DR testing issues? Downsides? etc..etc.. Thanks in advance, Regards - Andy -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Changeman on Z
Thanks Rogers, You indicate you may explore excluding these files from Migration and Space release, why? I am not a Changeman admin, and I do not have access to the install or implementation manual, but we are getter some rather ridiculous demands from our team that supports Changeman. Like segregating all Changeman files onto their own pool, exclude all changeman files from GRS, do not perform any space management functions (no migration, no space release). They claim that these practices are recommended by the vendor and most Changeman shops do this ?^%%??. What is so special about Changeman files that they warrant this isolation? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Changeman on Z
IBM-Main users, I am interested in how other shops running Serenas Changeman are managing the Changeman files or exceptions if any and why. 1. Excluding any or all files from GRS, MIM? 2. Single thread Changeman jobs? 3. Cross system contention issues? 2. Segregating Changeman files into their own, isolated storage pool? or integrate in the shared SMS storage pools? 3. Any special space management considerations for some or all Changeman files? Exclude from HSM migratrion, space release? 4. Any performance issues with large PDSE's vs large PDS's? Your responses are appreciated, Thanks. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
