Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to have a storage pool on a remote machine without installing TSM on it. Typically, what I wan't to do is to use space on a remote server to have a disk
Hi Etienne, you can use remote disks for file device class. I am not sure about 5.1 version, but I did this on 4.2 version and it worked fine. I had problems with using disk device class on remote di

Ing. Jozef Zatko, Can you share the steps to achieve this remote storage pool. Thanks, chandrasekhar Hi Etienne, you can use remote disks for file device class. I am not sure about 5.1 version, but I
Hi Etienne, it is easy. I suppose you have a server with disk capacity, which you want use for TSM to store data. I do not know if that remote machine is Windows or Unix system. It is possible to use

Why would you want to do this? Disk (particularly local disk) is cheap these days. The lag resultant from Windows drive mappings or (shudder!) NFS mounts will greatly slow your throughput. -- Mark St

I know but my customer want to do that. In fact, he bought two new servers, one with W2K and one with linux, and planned to install TSM on the linux server, but it is so complicated that we decided t

It doesn't matter how you use it. Forcing TSM to work its I/O at network speeds when it is designed to work at bus speeds will show badly. You'll be disappointed. -- Mark Stapleton (mark.stapleton A

I agree.. besides that's what off-site copy pools are for! Mark It doesn't matter how you use it. Forcing TSM to work its I/O at network speeds when it is designed to work at bus speeds will show bad
I have a 1 Gbit link between my primary site and my backup site, and I'm actully consindering using a Linux box with a lot of disk space NFS mounted on my TSM server as copypool, just to scratch the
Sorry to say, you might have had a version with a big HOLE in it; both FILE and DISK storage pool volumes must be "local" devices to Win2K... using 4.2.1.0. This may be a problem with my 4.2.1 system

Is it only true with Win2k ? I tried it on AIX and everything went right. My level is 5.1.5 and not 4.2.1 Etienne GUILLAUMONT e-mail : etienne AT rgb-technologie DOT fr RGB Technologie Parc d'Innovat
Have you checked access right for user under which TSM server is running to shared directory? I have got this error message when TSM server had not proper access rights to shared directory. Take care
Mark - I wonder if that traditional distinction will prevail in the near future. Network evolution has been accelerating, largely driven by such storage needs, and so I think the disparity between b

Good question. We'll have to see a 10- or 100-fold increase in SAN (and fiber-based Ethernet) speeds before we see an approach to bus-level speeds, as well as work-arounds for the inherent lag that c
