I have a Sepaton VTL and it has helped us tremendously to meet our
requirements. Although the VTL did help reduce our backup window by over
70% and we have sustained backup speeds of 150MB/s and I have seen them

We have 2 EMC CDL740's which we use as 4 non-redundant VTL's (740 is the
redundant CDL version) We have been running about 10 months. Our TSM
servers do not have the I/O capacity to exceed the CDL's I/O so I can
only say they are faster than a 4 CPU 6H1. We have had 2 crashes of one
CDL server.
Your best bet is to always wait for the more cogent description of the
solution before proceeding. You can always count on Wanda to clean up
my mess!
In fact, I think I'll steal this as it is a very concise description of
when/why you might consider a VTL. Perhaps the most concise description

I concur with Kelly's evaluation.

-On restores of multiple files (like restoring a large directory
of small files),
no tape mounts are required, even if data is not

Based on your config I'm guessing you're having trouble completing the

taking too long.
I would suggest using the copystg parameter on the primary tape pool and

After a year long review effort we chose Sepaton VTL. We have not
procurred or implemented the hardware yet. Based upon your infrastructure
listed it looks like they would be a good fit for your needs.

Thank you for turning on the lights. A Windows Admin here believes

Where do I read about the details of dsmcdfs for Windows? Is it a
separate client? I have read the entries in Quickfact and looked in
several of the manuals.
Thank you,

Well, a lot of info here. Several things.
1. Use 'checkin libv 3584lib search=bulk status=scratch waitt=0'
and the "reply" is no longer needed - as long as tapes are in I/O port
first. The "waittime" parameter was added at TSM 5.3. Makes
scripting easier.
2. What tapes are you checking in?
I have 2 gig of memory and the OS is XP professional with SP2.

Hi.
Has anyone performed a BMR on IBM X346/X3650, etc. new IBM Intel
servers?? We have had some problems with ASR on these types of Intel
servers. The network ports use a driver which is not in the Microsoft
CD, which has given us some problems and DHCP requirements.

It just mumbles along forever and does nothing, in my experience.

I think you should go back and figure out WHY you are having trouble

It does exactly what you ask - lets you boot from a CD, and restore from
TSM.
