One other mistake that is easy to make, and the mistake is always
to give higher processor count and price, is to not distinguish
Hyper-threading on Windows boxes.
Many tools can't tell the difference, and therefore you would end up
paying for 8 processor cores on a 4 core server.

Another thought on changing vendors is this.
If IBM really is cranking up the maintenance price in general,
then the competitors will follow soon after, maybe not as much
but close.
Follow the herd mentality.

AS far as I know, there was no audit. The "audit tool" is about as

all the clients could return CPU type, count, and IDs and have a

years, we've greatly shrunk
I thought the audit was so last year... Is it making a comeback? :)

What he means is no onsite copypool, and not all primary volumes are in
the library. Our library's inadequate too.
A restore volume preview isn't an option for a copypool volumes either
:(
Move data doesn't have a preview.
Ok, here. Do a stgpool backup, disable sessions and do another stgpoo
Select volume_name fron contents where object_id in (select object_id from
contents where volume_name='volumename') and stgpool='primarypoolname') group
by volume_name
I think it would take a LONG freaking time to run, though.

I too am confused, not that that is so unusual. I am not sure I
understand what you are saying.
There are offsite volumes, but no copypool. So, the (physically ?)
offsite volumes are in the primary pool hierarchy? Is that the case?
If so, and reclamation is really what is going on, then it is s

Hmm. I'm confused. IF you don't have a copy pool then the volume
required for reclamation is the volume, or volumes that are set to be
reclaimed.
A good way to find out which volumes need reclamation is:
select volume_name as TAPEPOOL_VOL,est_capacity_mb as
CAPACITY,pct_utilized as UTILIZATION,
There is a command to find out which volumes would be required to
"restore" a volume. So I'd assume they'd be the same offsite volumes
that would be required for reclamation. Right?
Restore vol volnum preview=yes

Well The reason I am asking is that we do not have a copypool setup for
our offsite tapepool since we are using a VTL. However, the physical
library is small and some of the tapes needed to reclaim may not be in
the system. If I can generate a list of tapes needed to reclaim a
certain volume then
Interesting question.
Why would you want to know? I hope your primary volumes are all on-line?

It is better than most deduplication appliances because it actually has

Look at Avamar from EMC. I don't know how expensive it is, and it'll

IBM just doubled our maintenance, so we're getting rid of TSM wholesale
and rearchitecting all pending IBM purchases for other platforms.
I had made and won the case for keeping it as our solution despite the
expense, at the level we were at through 2007, but there's no discussion
for this change.

We have a separate domain for each of the teams that manage the nodes. The
individuals in the teams get rights to their specific domain only. So, when
they register a new node, they can only do so in the domain they have rights
to. So, we in essence know who the nodes belong to.
