Re: Drive Inconsistencies

2006-04-13 Thread Jack Coats
Suggestion: go check your drive, see if it has a code on the front. My guess is that it does. A drive being offline (as in 'q drive') is separate from the path ('q path') being offline. They are related, but independent. Someone else probably has good technical explanation. -Original

I hope it worked for you. In the past I have cached out the volume where a problem was reported (both the one in the 'real slot' and the one that TSM says should be in the slot). Sometimes I had to check out several until there were no more 'unknown' tapes in the library. Then check them all

Re: Resend - Policy and DRP question

2006-04-11 Thread Jack Coats
The question is: does this mean that we have to now keep the 10 latest tapes offsite for complete DRP? From what I am seeing it says you are now defining the process to keep 10 tapes un-used. If you keep them off site, so much the better for disaster preparedness. You do not have to change

Re: Clustered Servers and Tivoli

I don't know the specifics about Novell, but on AIX and Windows, we are setting up N+1 backup services (N-nodes in a cluster, plus one for the cluster itself). One client on each node for its local files, and one client that works as a fail-over-service that follows the 'active' cluster node.

Re: DB LOG Volume layout - new

2006-01-20 Thread Jack Coats
Just curious, and playing a little devils advocate, but does it buy anything to mirror over raid5? Wouldn't it be more efficient (processor on the san, and storage) just to put volumes out there and let TSM manage them? You would want to have the mirrored volumes on separate physical drives

Re: Backup larger than data on server

2006-01-19 Thread Jack Coats
There is also the 'chitchat' that the client and server do when discussing whether an individual file has been backed up or is missing. That increases the network transmissions significantly if you have a large number of files and are not using local journaling. -Original Message-

In my experience, there is no good label to add to LTO tapes. I started using either a white marker or paint pen when needing to add information to the tapes. If you MUST put an extra label on the tapes, I suggest some lablels I have run across, they are VERY thin plastic/mylar with perminant

There may be technical issues, but from what I can tell it is a religious issue for AIX vs Linux. Both are good solutions. Even a well configured Windows solutions works, but it is not my preferred solution. IMHO, a best fit solution for TSM is probably an AIX solution. But if you have no AIX
