I have a perspective customer who is using BRMS for backup to a stand alone tape drive. They want to use their existing TSM Server to
perform the backup. I have NO experience with the as400 types of servers in TSM. I have searched this forum and have found some good starting information but saw most of the posts are from a couple years back.

would some one who has current experience with this please provide me with some information on:
- How to do this
- Install The API
- TASK list
- Checklist
- Any things to watch out for

Thank you very much and Best Regards,

Bob... ]]> TSM Client rvillano http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27882-AS400-As-a-TSM-client-Help-request http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27872-Compression-RMAN-vs-TSM-vs-Tape-Drive&goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 18:45:48 GMT Has anyone done any analysis on compression rates?

We compress at the tape drive level as most do, and have several Oracle DBs that backup LAN-Free. For Oracle data that backs up to disk (smaller DBs and archive logs) we compress at the TSM client level.

Oracle can do the compression with the following command:
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE

For LAN-Free, the tape drive would not compress further if the client is doing it, but how does RMAN compression compare with tape drive compression? (LTO-4)

For our smaller DBs and archive logs going over the LAN to disk, how does RMAN compression compare to TSM client compression? ]]> TSM Client GregE http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27872-Compression-RMAN-vs-TSM-vs-Tape-Drive http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27857-Building-the-Journal&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 17:49:13 GMT TSM 5.5 server TSM 6.2.3.3 client.

TSM 6.2.3.3 client.

I have a TSM Windows client that contains over 75 million files on a drive. The TSM journal has corrupted and backup of that drive will not run.

I can't remember something. If I delete the journal and start new, and I stop the backup after a few hours, is my new journal partially built? So I can backup again later and build more, and do this several times?

Or MUST I run a backup from start to finish to populate the journal? (this will literally take days and tax my TSM server greatly) ]]> TSM Client GregE http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27857-Building-the-Journal http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27850-Does-TSM-5-5-supports-Novell-5-as-a-client&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 08:38:11 GMT Hello,

We've got a rather dated pieces of software TSM server v5.5 and some Novell 5 file servers that are now backed up by HPDP. I wonder if we are able to move this clients to TSM domain and get rid of HPDP as a backup software. According to this http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docvie...=utf-8&lang=en TSM can only talk to Novell NetWre 6.5. Perhaps this TSM client for novell supports some sort of backward compatibility this previos Novell version. ]]> TSM Client Bancal http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27850-Does-TSM-5-5-supports-Novell-5-as-a-client http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27842-TSM-STA-and-MAXNUMMP&goto=newpost Mon, 13 May 2013 06:42:59 GMT Hello, I have got an Exchange server which is also a TSM STA.

I have got an Exchange server which is also a TSM STA. Everything works pretty good, but I want to increase the number of backup sessions that run simultaneously. I tried to increase MAXNUMMP on the server side by issuing "update node" on my tsm server, but it has no effect whatsoever. Next I checked STA options file on the client and there is no parameter which explicitly controls such behaviour. Which config files on the client should I check? ]]> TSM Client Bancal http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?27842-TSM-STA-and-MAXNUMMP
