Re: VTL with Linux
James, just curious ... how do you do the backup opf the z/VM volumes with FDR Upstream? Do you dump the whole volume? and how? Is FDR Upstream running in VM in thate case? Or in z/Linux?

Re: VTL with Linux
We are backing up our linux servers with fdr/upstream from z/OS side. We use CA-1 for tape management. Compression ratio stinks. We get about 1.25 to 1 compression.

VTL managed by CA's VM:tape on VM plus a little REXX glue on the VM side to talk to an extended version of mt on Linux. The supplied Linux tools for tape management in the distributions frankly suck, particularly for channel-attached tape, and are practically non-existant for FCP tape. You're also going to want to do a Linux-based internal-network based solution to a designated backup server that you can shut down at will and take image backups rather than doing backups on individual servers. The REXX glue plus the extensions to mt I'm referring to above are available in the Bacula contributed software source tree. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
Re: VTL with Linux
Yes, we are running TSM v6.2 in a zVM [v6.1] image that contains SuSE Linux v11.1. The backups are going to a VTL SAN environment. This environment consists of a pair of IBM 7650G ProtectTier devices that are clustered and 100TB of XIV storage. We also replicate the storage to an offsite location for DR. We currently have a production image and are setting up a test environment as we speak. I would be glad to talk more off line if you wish.
