In my opinion and working in the same sort of environment where we've used HSM for the same type of data... Your best bet here is to involve the RPACS vendor and do an archive to archive migration,...

I've had success with older versions of Firefox 3.6 and previous, otherwise Internet Explorer 8 is the only "supported" browser.

It appears same version or later is ok per the documentation though

Greg,
I can't recall where I saw but I believe you are required to use the version that matches your TSM server version.

So the SSD disks are internal (not SAN) ? If so what make and model server are these on? Just wondering if an internal PCI bus bottleneck you're running in to.

Well when you look at a TSM V5 database and do the math between assigned capacity and pct utilized to get a size of the database there's a lot of fragmentation in there from expiration and new...

We have a test AIX LPAR we use here to benchmark upgrades, I can't say I've seen any performance increase when I tested an identical database upgrading to 6.2.3.0 and then to 6.3.3.0. You're going...

Each stanza will need a different HTTPport in the dsm.sys. If you don't set it differently the other two will complain that the port is in use and pick a random HTTPPort.

You really probably...

Exactly ;)

For testing purposes you'd be better off just restoring a database backup to the new TSM server and performing a same system upgrade using the network (local loopback) method. If you're just doing...

We're getting ready to implement the agent at one of our facilities and I'm curious to see how everyone else is accomplishing some things we did relatively easy the "old" way.

How are you...

or sysback :o

If you check in the manual it says the default is DHCP. You can hard set the IP at the operator panel if that's not working for you.

Check chapter 4 - modifying network settings

You'll only need the one IBMTape driver provided the tape drives are IBM branded.

If it's a VM Greg you might look at TSM for VE. You could do a LAN free proxy host that can see the VM data store and the tape drives.

Depends on how those four file systems are presented to...

Did you change the ownership of the RAW logical volumes to match the user ID and group that's running the TSM instance?

Good question, I've been wondering the same thing for some time now. I'm assuming April 2013 even if that's not the date so we'll have all our servers upgraded before then.

They'll both work the main reason I don't like to the latter method is it clears out all the status and ownerships in the libvolumes. You'll have to audit from the library clients again to correct...

Good to know about the refreshstate option, hadn't used that yet.

I do have to respectfully disagree with you on stopping and starting dsmserv. I've done it more than a couple times in an AIX...

If you haven't already stop and restart the TSM server (dsmserv daemon). It'll pickup the changes at that point.

You can also delete the drive/library paths and the drive/library definitions if...

As others have said since it's dedicated with no backup activity on the library manager, really one or two hba ports depending if you have your SAN split. Then another one or two for disk if you're...

Any reason you wouldn't use a mksysb or sysback to do the bare metal restore? The way you're heading now you'd have to redefine all the file systems and then have TSM restore. Keep in mind TSM...

I may just be misunderstanding your post but you want to set things up like this.

In TSM define your drives with cleanfreq of NONE, do not checkin the cleaning tapes to the LIBV.

Verify auto...

ACSLS manages cleanings, you'll need to do a query clean in ACSLS to see if there are cleaning tapes in the silo and how many times they've been used.

Yeah that is a bit of an issue, it's been so long since I've done anything with NDMP I must admit I didn't think about that. Here's an idea, I thought you could do a library manager/client...

Like Mikeymac said

You need to have separate device classes for your storage pools if you'd like to force one pool to use 4's versus 3's. You would have to hard set the drive format to ULTRIUM4C...

If they're clustered try putting in CLUSTERNODE YES in the dsm.opt file.

Now this raises another question did you set up the appropriate services for a "cluster" node in TSM. If you're not sure...

quickest way if they really are still scratch and don't need a relabel would be to use the update libv

for example

update libv 3584lib DP4248L4 stat=scr

Haha yeah it's a pain that's for sure but what you have to do it browse to storage systems -> tape systems -> tape autoloaders and libraries -> TS3500 Tape Library (3584-L22,L23,L53) and platform...

I would just use the loopback address on the TSM server to back it up, that should eliminate actually going over the network and get you the speeds you're looking for.

Best practices would be to have each switch act as a separate fabric, run half the cables for the VTL to switchA and the other half to switchB, same with the disk and tape library. To do this though...

Somehow with SUN this doesn't surprise me, probably the best way around this since they aren't providing a fix is to just have five drives zoned to one HBA port and the other five to another instead...

If you had used an IBM emulated library and IBM emulated drives you would just use the /dev/rmt entries that atape creates. Using the non-IBM branded emulation on your VTL just adds a step for you...

So your VTL must be emulating non-IBM drives, would be easier if it did.

You'll have to go in to smit and create the MT drivers (those are Tivoli device drivers) (the rmt's for IBM LTO's are the...

Best practices are separate ports, I've never personally done both on the same port so no idea how it would actually behave.

I'm honestly not sure on the tape options line Greg, we never even used to set those in our IBMtape.conf files we just did the bare minimums with the parent & lun lines.

Thinking about it more...

Oh your IBMtape.conf, you can't use targets anymore if you're using EMLXS, needs to be wwpn like this. That should fix the number issue.

For the st devices look for the st.conf file, believe it's under /kernel/drv and comment this last line out. After you'll need to rem_drv st, mt, ibmtape and clear our /dev/rmt/* and then rerun the...

I honestly would not let them use TSM as the method to move the data, they should be looking at some sort of disk to disk based replication. Not to say you couldn't do it with TSM but it's not the...

You'd want to look at IBM for system backup and recovery (sysback), you'll need a NIM server as well from what I recall.
