Re: Sizing of Bufpoolsize, everyone take note of this response

2003-01-19 Thread Seay, Paul
We are about to upgrade to a 6 x 750 MHZ from a 4 x 450 MHZ. At that point, I will consider doing more bufferpool. The problem is the buffer processing does use some CPU resources, especially during expiration. So, I will be able to model the benefits. We are adding 2GB of memory (total 4GB), s

All, I am about to upgrade an AIX cluster 4.2.1.7 server up to 4.2.1.9. Any gotchas that I might be aware of that have been experienced by others in the past? Just wanting to make sure I am not walking into a nightmare. Regards, ---

Re: Managing Server-to-Server tapes taken offsite

Hi, The TARGET server (where the DR data resides) sees the data as archive objects. When the SOURCE server (where the primary copy of the data resides) copies the data to the DRPOOL, the objects become archive objects on the TARGET server. Most people who use this type of server-to-server implem

Re: Quick expiration question

2003-01-19 Thread Zlatko Krastev
I always thought both versions and retention criteria are evaluated when expiration is run. Never tested it until recently. The results were more than strange: 1. Due to some business reasons it was requested all current versions to be held (i.e. expiration had to be disabled temporarely) 2. It too

Daniel, The question sure is a communication one not TSM so the answer is in the same area. So the answer: Default gateway is a simple solution for small networks and *single* route to the universe (star or tree topologies). For networks with mesh-topology (be they LAN or WAN) a routing protoco

Tony, you already got the "yes" answer but without an important (IMO) note: If the volume in question is in the library it will go back to scratch and gets reused later. If the volume *is not* in the library it is already not listed as libvol and after expiration will dismiss as stgpool volume. Th

Many times discussed on the list. Sometimes TSM assumes there is information on empty volumes. "aud v 473257 fix=y" should relieve the problem. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Joni Moyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 16.01.2003 15:12 Please respond t

The real figure - 32-34 MB/s per LTO drive in IBM 3583 with drive compression. The "theoretical" comment - most of the times *source* disks cannot supply data fast enough to feed more than 1-2 LTO drives. For different locations the bottleneck is at different place but disk reading is the top one
