Problems with DocAve SharePoint TDP Restore

Hi all, We have some work currently underway to try and get the SharePoint TDP for TSM (aka DocAve) installed and working. We've downloaded and installed v6.1.4 from Passport Advantage and have been able to configure and run successful backups. However on testing the restore process, it seems tha

A while back I did some searching in to NFS file pool for LanFree storge agents. I figured that since Sanergy was using NFS for setup but sending data across FC, that TSM should have to support NFS directly. I found a comment in the TSM manuals (v5.5) that IBM does not support NFS for LanFree ac

Hi Kirk, Usually the source of this oh-so-informative error message has to do with the widespread elevation of rights for the Agent user. You might try logging into the destination db as the account and see if you can create a database. Also-- if you are doing an in-place restore of a deleted si

There is no function/command set in TSM to merge data from two different nodes. You can cheat and do it with export/import (convenient you are planning an export anyway). You will have to do it when there are no sessions active to either node: Here are the steps; if you want the data to end up be

Not really sure where the general idea that a VTL will limit the number of available mount points. I'm not familiar with Data Domain, but generally speaking, the number of virtual tape drives configured within a VTL is usually thousands. Not sure why you'd want that many though, I always prefer

Interesting. Every VTL based solution, including data domain, that I looked at had limits on the amount of drives that could be emulated which were nowhere near a hundred let alone a thousand. Perhaps it's time to revisit this. The license is a data domain fee, and a hefty one at that. The big

By LANFree, you mean LAN Free to disk? last time I looked at it, Sanergy was NFS for UNIX hosts, and CIFS for Windows. (So if you have both platforms in your environment, you needed two setups.) If you used NFS for the front-end semantics, you still had some range-based locking for the shared dis

Actually I have more customers using Data Domains without the VTL license than with it. With a Windows TSM server, you can just write to it via TCP/IP using a CIFS share(NFS mount with an AIX TSM server). If you have sufficient TCP/IP bandwidth for your load, no fibre connections needed. >From
