Please respond to
"ADSM: Dist Stor
Manager"
I have 4 years experience running an AIX 3570 2-drive, 20-slot library.
I have the task of converting our LAN network of 30+ servers from running
Veritas Backup Exec to running TSM v5.1.
Thus, going to W2K TSM is "familiar", yet "different", with the W2K/NT OS.
Environ:
W2K, TSM server 5.1.6.3,
Win clients 5.1.5.15,
Back up ~ 10 W2K & NT servers each weekday,
TSM server is P3 500 w/384 MB memory,
14 HR backup window
100 MB/s switched LAN network
HP 718 autoloader, w/one-Drive, 8-slot DLT library
no DISKPOOL, backup to DLT tape directly (planning on a diskpool "real
soon").
W2K questions:
1) Do I need more memory in TSM server (only has 384 MB)?
Would more memory be used for faster operations?
[Christian] I got one customer who has 512 MB memory on there TSM Server
and backing up 29 WinNT 4 Clients
3 SQL Server
And one AIX Server.
So I think 384 MB is enough for you. But it´s always good to have alot of
memory to play with.
2) Is there a set of standard include/exclude statements for W2K and NT OS
clients?
If so, please give reference to I can find them.
I have looked in the adsm.org archives and found some examples, but don't
know if there are an "official set" from Tivoli.
[Christian] I don´t think there is a standard for everyone. But we got a
standard for our TEST Domain and one standard for our production.
3) I am dealing with setting up a tape library w/only 1 tape drive.
I have read the W2K 5.1 Admin Guide on this subject and the adsm.org
emails on such.
Any guidance on running a single tape drive library is appreciated.
I have to use this single-drive autoloader for now, until we get an
increase in our IT budget for a new 2-3 drive library or such!
[Christian] Bad luck for you. I also have that problem on one of my test
TSM Servers. There was so much trouble to migrate over from Disk to Tape
and after that Reclaim from tape to Disk and disk to Tape again. So on that
server have I create a large filepool where I save all my files.
I think that is the best way to do it for you aswell until you got your 2
Drive Library.
And use the your existing library to archive data and do databas backups
to.
But that is my suggestion. Maybe someone else have another experienc who
can helps you more then I do.
