Why not use many cheaps disk as a PRIMARY stg?

(send again, msg was misplaced as a reply under another msg) Hi, Recently, we're trying to decide about the various ways in which TSM can be set up. We need about 2Tb of primary pool space. For primary pool only , we may either: 1) Get a big library, and a lot of tapes, amounts to $50.000.

If you set serilization to shared static, TSM will try X number of retries to check if the file is closed, if it remains in open state (this propably will be your case), TSM skips these files. You should set serilization to shared dynamic to be able to backup open files, but use it with care...

Theoretically the 4.1 client might run on an ADSM 3.1 server, but such a configuration is UNSUPPORTED. This means that if you try to run the 4.1 client with a 3.1 server, it might work, but you do so at your own risk!!! Translation: Don't do it! Sure, now

You cannot backup those DBs since they are locked by SYSTEM on NT. Instead you must backup the backup copy of them (usually in the system32/wins/backup folder as for WINS). You'll have to setup WINS to make an automatic backup of its DB in WINS manager. Remember you MUST backup WINS DB manually
