Re: Disabling backup / archive activity

I came in the middle of this thread but from the subject line it looks like someone needs to know how to disable backup/archive activity. I use disable session to stop all backup/archive activity and lock node / unlock node for just a specific machine. Buddy Howeth Computer Operations Specialist

Re: How to clone backup to a tape?

You will need to use a 3rd party utility to copy (clone) one tape to another. Buddy Howeth Computer Operations Specialist Information Systems Pacific Coast Producers Corporate Offices 631 N. Cluff Ave Lodi, CA 95240-0756 (209) 367-8800 - Main# (209) 367-6288 - Computer Room (209) 366-6240

Re: force cancel session

In my experience, you have to wait until the media mounts before the session or process will end. As soon as the media mounts, the session will then end. You could halt the server and restart the TSM server1 service (or reboot your server) Buddy Howeth Computer Operations Specialist

Re: Backing up virtual machines

If you backup a V.M., you still need to install the windows client on each VM in order to get the file updates so there are no savings on licenses. We have about 20 VMs now which are backed up using VCB (Virtual Consolidated Backup). Buddy Howeth Computer Operations Specialist Information

Re: Servers supported on virtual machines--anything new?

90% of our servers are VMs with the exception of TSM. We are running 5.4 with 166 clients. We are considering converting our TSM server to a VM also but it was not recommended by the IBM storage expert we worked with. We will likely do it anyway to test it and see if we have any problems. Buddy

Re: Servers supported on virtual machines--anything new?

We always test with another test server. I have such a server under my desk now waiting. It will become our Disaster Recovery server with TSM already installed and waiting to go in the event of a real disaster. The DR server will be kept offsite. Buddy Howeth Computer Operations Specialist
