We have just implemented TSM 5.1 recently (3 weeks ago) and we running
the normal daily backup plus a monthly backup on all systems that is
kept for 7 years. What systems are you requiring a monthly done on and
I will let you know how we have configured it.
We are also sharing a library with 2 TSM servers - one is a production
server backing up our prod network and the other is the test server
backing up out test network. The prod server is the library manager and
the test server puts all it's request thru the prod box.

I am current using a compaq ESL9198 library. (200 slots, (8)DLT40/80
drives)
Unfortunately the capacity for the library is about 10TB and we have
around
15TB of data in our primary storage pool now. Needless to say, I am
endlessly importing and exporting media to make room for scratch
media,
volumes for file restores etc.
On top of this, our management is now requiring me to retain monthly
full
backups. (I'm planning on using backup sets, but if someone has a
better
solution, I'd love to hear it!)
I am currently planning on upgrading our tape library but have a few
questions:
1) Is anyone sharing a single library with multiple TSM servers? If
so, how
well is it working?
(I also need to split-up our TSM server into multiple servers, the
current
size of the TSM DB is around 35GB. If I buy a large library, is this
library sharing really going to work reliably as advertised?)
2) The current library I'm looking as is a new Compaq ESL9595SL2 (600
slots,
(16) 160/320 drives). How would that compare to say- a storagetek
L700E?
(I know there are ALOT of variables here, just looking for very
general
info) What advantages/disadvantages are there to using ACSLS
libraries?
3) Is anyone familiar with the "new backupset option" in TSM 5.1? I
looking in the online documentation, but can't seem to find anything
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
