Persistent bindings and Linux

Hi, How do you enable persistent bindings to tape devices in Linux with TSM. Is everyone using Sandiscovery or writing their own udev rules, other options? Tia Henrik --- The information contained in this message may be

Re: Copy Pool question

I have a related issue... I have a new primary stg pool and a new copy pool. I have also an 'old' primary pool and an 'old' copy pool. There is no new data arriving in the 'old' primary pool because backup data is send to the 'new' primary pool. This data is of course copied to the new copy pool.

Re: Copy Pool question

Ther is no other solution. You can only speed up process: 1) expiry will remove the oldest data from old primary and copy pools; 2) you can migrate the newest data slowly from old primary pool th new primary pool; 3) after completion of moving/expirying of old primary pool just remove all

Re: Copy Pool question

* Backup old prim stg to new copy stg = short time extra tape storage needed * delete old copy stg volumes = free up old copy volumes * migrate old prim stg to new prim stg = take all the time you need Regards, K -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Re: Copy Pool question

Karel, I think you are right. I should copy the old primary pool firstly to the new copy pool (and accept the high number of scratch used) BEFORE I migrate the data from old primary stg to new primary stg. It seems that there is no other solution. Thanks for the feedback. Best regards /

Spectra Logic LTO5 and Linux

Does anyone have experience with configuring a Spectra Logic T950 tape library with LTO5 drive on RedHat Linux (64 bit)? We have tried the IBM drivers and the tape drives become visible and communicate at the OS level and can be configured into TSM (6.2), but we are unable to label any tapes.

TSM 6.2 question

Hi to all Did anybody installed TSM version 6.2.1 on a Linux operating system and which one and what configuration? My configuration is around 250 Clients , 40 TDP (Sql, Oracle, Exchange, Sap) and ~ 70 Tera data and 80 GB tsm database Till now working with 2 servers Aix and Windows

Re: Copy Pool question

Why not just configure your old primary pool to use the new primary pool as its next stg pool and migrate. Then perform a backup stg pool from the new primary to your new copy pool? Once all data has been migrated and backed up, delete the old pools Thank you, ~Rick Adamson JAX, FL.

Re: TSM v6 - virtual volume deletion leaves archive objects on target server

Joerg, I checked with development on this. Are you doing this with a dedup storage pool? They did have one APAR for that 2 months ago. I would first suggest getting a PMR opened; if you do that, I can pursue it. Dave Canan IBM Advanced Technical Support TSM Performance ddcananATUSDOTIBMDOTCOM

Re: Spectra Logic LTO5 and Linux

I had this happen when I attempted to use a lin_tape version that was built on a different kernel. Did you rpmbuild --rebuild the src lin_tape? Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory - Original Message - From:

Re: TSM v6 - virtual volume deletion leaves archive objects on target server

Hi Dave. The two situations where I am experiencing this are non-dedupe environments. Both installations have a copypool using devclass=vv (devclass vv is a server device type device class). In both situations there is a vvpool - vvtape storage pool hierarchy on the target server such that prepare

Yes, we rebuilt it. Is this RPM isn the IBM drivers? Orville Lantto -Original Message- From: Dan Olson dol...@mcs.anl.gov To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Wed, Jul 14, 2010 1:22 pm Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Spectra Logic LTO5 and Linux I had this happen when I attempted to use a
