TS3310 rapid config for TSM

2010-04-28 Thread Mehdi Salehi
Hi all, As FC connection is shared by both data path and control path in TS3310 (comparing with 3494 that needs IP for library manager), I would like to know whether any initial configuration required for 3310 to work with TSM? I mean is it possible just to add the library to TSM server zone, insta

Yes, Mehdi It is that easy. You might like to configure an additional control path on the library in case there is a problem with the drive with the control path that you normally use. Bring the library microcode up to date using the gui. Also install the ITDT tool, and use it to bring the dri

Snapshots/image backups? Don't think about the backup, think about the restore RTO/RPO. What kind of restore scenarios do you have, how much data (in time) can you afford to lose and what is your acceptable restore time? Will you ever need to restore individual files? I'm not familiar with Black

I've done some test regarding this but it was a pretty long time ago so I don't have any results to share, sorry, just an opinion. The default in RHEL is the CFQ scheduler which should be optimized for throughput which is what we want. Your other choices would be: deadlineif you need lo

I'm wondering if a Fastback type (block level incremental image) backup might be the answer. Backing up changed blocks might be faster than trawling the filesystem, and the ability to mount a point in time image would provide you with file level restore as well as DR image recovery. Just a thou

Another benefit of the image/snapshot is that it would eliminate the huge burden that the file-level backup has on you TSM DB. For example; if that filespace has 1 million files that results in 1 million entries in the DB, since the image or snapshot is a single object there is only a single entry

LTO2 writes to tape at maximum of 40MB/sec. If the data compresses 3.5:1 then your server will need to feed the tape drive at 140MB/sec to keep up with the write speed. If the data compresses 1:1 then you only need to send data at 40MB/sec. This kind of thing used to drive me nuts until I figu
