Re: TSM dream setup

In the "best practices" document from DataDomain http://www.datadomain.com/pdf/GlassHouse-TSM-DataDomain-Whitepaper.pdf and what other things I read, it sounded like the VTL "mimicry" is not really needed in a TSM environment unless you are doing lan-free or NDMP backups. This shop does neither, so

Re: TSM dream setup

Ben, First, thanks for sharing your experiences. Very enlightening. I'm curious why you decided to use devclass=file volumes, instead of using the DD580 as a VTL. It does have a VTL personality, doesn't it? At 05:39 PM 2/26/2008, Ben Bullock wrote: TSM config - Easy. Created some "FILE" devic

Ok, I thought I would reply back here about our experience in implementing a DataDomain 580 appliance into our TSM environment. Setup - Easy. Put it on the network and NFS mounted it to our AIX/TSM server. TSM config - Easy. Created some "FILE" device classes and pointed them to the NFS mount poi

Re: migration vs move data

When I moved our primary pools from 3494/3590's to 3584/3592's, I used movedata. I found the movedat was much easier to control the process. I coded a script that would vary the number of movedata's running concurrently depending upon the number of free/available tape drives. During the day It w

migration vs move data

What would be the consequential differences between using migration versus using 'move data' to transfer backup files from one primary tape pool to another? I see that with 'move data' I would specify volumes names myself, whereas migration would pick the volumes to move. Are there other differenc
