While we were running 6.2.2.0, we had one unpleasant occasion when the tape drives started dropping offline one by one, and then I was unable to connect to the server to log in. The Linux admins said the error message indicated that the AIX box had run itself out of memory, and recommended that

I certainly hope TSM 6.2 does not need to be restarted. I am just getting it installed. If you are seeing a performance drop after it runs a long time ('long time' is variable, here 'a while' is 6 months) you should open a PMR to get the problem documented and fixed. I do not subscribe to the

Our servers, all Windows, run with a once/month restart. That happens when I apply Windows updates. Not all Windows updates require a boot, but I take advantage of the event to do a quick restart while clients are aware I'm doing maintenance. Ha

TSM 6.2 server restarts

We have fairly recently started running a TSM 6.2.2.0 server under zSeries Linux. Some of my co-workers have brought up the idea of scheduling periodic restarts of the server code for performance reasons. Are other TSM 6.2 sites seeing any sign of performance problems resulting from long periods of

Hi Joni, As you could see, size is not shown is archive table. It would need to select from the content table too. The select required will need a join between archive and content and would be impossible to execute on a real life TSM server. I think that you may find an answer with export node

Well, a) Large servers with small filesize should always go to a random diskpool. Sending them to tape (or a sequential filepool) will most certainly reduce performance. So NO, keep sending those small files to a random disk pool. If it's not big enough, increase the size, dont try sending the

Re: SV: migration threads for random access pool and backups issue

2012-03-15 Thread Daniel Sparrman
That's also correct. The hugely negative impact from running migration while performing backups is due to the heavy load migration puts on the database (aswell as stealing valuable I/O from your disks which should be used for backups). Regards Daniel Daniel Sparrman Exist i Stockholm AB Växe

Re: SV: migration threads for random access pool and backups issue

Also, using a random access disk pool that is undersized will result in migration potentially kicking off while the backup/archive process is still running. It has been my experience, and I have often read, this situation has an enormous negative impact to the TSM server performance. ~Rick --

Hi Amit, After some investigation I found that TSM can only use one Process (1 drive) per node or one process per collocation group. This is only when you are using Random disk. If you want to use multiple drives you need to change from random disk to sequeneal disk. Best Regards Christian Svens
