Hello Daad, I had this same issue. It's IC51826. I had to upgrade the server to 5.3.5.2 to fix this issue. I would still verify this with IBM support, but your situation appears to be the same. Good luck! Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems, Storage Mngt

Netware restore requirement question

We have a client with a couple old Netware 4.11 servers running TSM client 4.2.3.0. These nodes will be retired and the hardware will go away. But there is a requirement to keep the data for possible future restores. We were thinking of installing a newer version of Netware as a VMware virtual

Novell has a Server Consolidation Utility that allows you to move data from old servers to newer ones. It's a free download. We attempted to preform a backup and restore and ran into issues with the volume sizes being different. Kevin William Boyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/11/07 12:52 PM We

Hi Block size, queue depth, sequential v random read, back end spindles/design, array cache size, other array traffic etc will all play a part. On an Windows system with default NTFS block size, with queue depth of 16, on a dedicated HDS array I can quite easily sustain approx 400MBs on a

I've been asked to compare Backup Exec to Tivoli for upper management and need to find a white paper that describes the differences. I found one on IBM's website but it's dated 2002 which is a little old. Does anyone have a link to a newer one they want to share? Thanks, Mark Confidentiality

Hello Joerg, with TSM 5.4, the QUERY BACKUPSET command now has the detailed format output available (F=D). If you use the detailed format output, it should display the volume. For example : tsm: TSM02q backupset mygroup f=d Node Name: TESTNODE1 Backup Set Name:

Hi Ian, Great information... I had no idea Windows 2003 could get read speeds of 400MB/s. My proposed VTL does not do de-dupe in line, it is a post process so I am not concerned with VTL performance. I need to backup about 10 TB's from the array. This is a mix of file system, email and

If we currently have 6 3590-h drives in the 3494 library, do you think can we get by with 4 LTO-4 drives in the new libraries given that speed and storage capacity is so much better with LTO-4 drives? Most of the tape activity is backups only. Occasionally we have a file restore or two. It

John, If you are experienced with the 3494 library, they are working well and tape mount speed is acceptable, you may consider just replacing the 3590 drives with TS1120 (3592) drives. The cartridges fit in the same slots as 3590 cartridges and you can significantly increase the capacity of

To echo that, used 3494 tape libraries are going for cheap these days. We recently bought a used one that had 7 frames and 5 new TS1120 tape drives for under 100K. That's somewhere between 660TB and 1.8PB for $100K. For this case where we have about 8TB a day of seldom accessed archives that we

In general TSM will send 1 stream for each source, but I would suggest that you go to a disk pool first unless the objects are very large. We run our large BCV backup to disk then migrate to virtual tape later. What you have to be careful of is creating too many virtual drives as this may slow
