Hi all, when configuring file volumes on AIX is there a preferrred relationship between the TSM stg pool size and the the AIX Logical volume size - possibly ralting to LUN size?

Jonathan, thanks for your advice. I did see good dedupe / compression savings for certain data types. However, unless the data could be kept on the on the FAS in terms of primary and copy pools the...

Hi, is anyone using Netapp FAS to do the deduplication for TSM storage pools?

This is more from a management aspect:

1. are you using "thin provisioning" to fool both TSM and the OS that it...

Chad, Ed, thanks for your input. Rob

Ed, thanks. Just realised our Ontap reclaim might not work. I've only ever reclaimed file/tape pools in TSM - can you reclaim disk pools?

Ed, unfortunately we aren't purchasing the replication software for the NetApp so will have to have TSM managing the copy pool aspect.

Is there a reason why you prefer devclass=file over disk? It...

Hi all, I'm planning to implement a TSM instance with no tape library in the short term probably medium term.

We will need more information. I upgraded some TDPs from bas 6.3.0 to 6.3.0.2 - without any any issue on a 64 bit wintel server. As a prereq it installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 (32 bit).

We have been testing a NetApp FAS Ontap 8 and have been seeing good dedupe rates for TSM backups: too early to say whether we buy it though.

Problem sorted with 6.3.0.2 patch. Also hade to install 32-bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 - only had 64 bit on the server. Even though its a Window 64 server.

Werdz, I cannot answer 1 - as currently struggling to restore anything - I have been advised to upgrade to 6.3.0.2.

2. IBM advise backing up the passive server in the DAG. We have 4 servers 2...

Hi,

I have setup users under both the local domain and express-restore on Fastback.

Guys, Trident thanks for the links.

Hi Trident, I will look at

1. TSM version is 6.1.4.1
2. AIX 6.1
3. A: TCPWindowsize 64512 b: TCPWindowsize 64512

I will check the values for AIX - thanks.
