Migration of TSM from zLinux to Intel Linux

2007-04-26 Thread Mark Stapleton
Has anyone out there done this sort of migration by restoring the TSM database from the old server to the new server? I've never worked with zLinux before, but my understanding is that zLinux partitions use the same type of filespaces (EXT2, EXT3, ReiserFS, etc.) that stand-alone Linux does. T

All, Is there a repository for Operational Reporting extensions somewhere? I am looking specifically for extensions that would give me all the information in the canned "Node Activity Summary" and "Missed File Details" reports, but allow me to filter nodes (by Domain for instance), similar to the

Dinesh - You can search on gtUpdateGroupAttr in http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l@vm.marist.edu/ for past discussions on this. A fundamental problem here is that you're running a TSM client with no maintenance - a big no-no. Go to ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ storage/tivoli-storage-m

Keith, I can't speak about 10Gb, but we use fibre-extended 1Gb ethernets between our A & B data centers. TSM clients @ A backup over the 1Gb network to a TSM service @ B. Their backups are stored on disks and tapes @ B. Similarly TSM clients @ B backup to a TSM service @ A. Works well for us. -
