Steven,
The data will be at an ISCSI SAN. It is a Dell MD3000i.I have about 9TB in 4
virtual disks at RAID5 set. I am planning to have another ISCSI SAN for
replication to the DR site when we have the budget next year. We have about 1TB
backup data each night. 600GB is the exchange and DB server backups.
Thanks
Rodney

This will be local disk will it? As you are trying to mitigate against
another SAN "meltdown" - What does that mean?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice, but we would like to put the onsite backup on disk
for fast restore purpose. We had a SAN melt down last year and it took 3
days to restore 70 VM servers. So we would really like to put the backup
on disk. In addition, how much GB you would recommend for a FILE volume? I
read some forum, someone recommend 25GB and some recommend 50GB.
Thanks
Rodney

If it is only Exchange data that is kept forever, you should just put the
exchange data in its own pool and keep checking them out for onsite
storage.
Since they don't expire, you should have to worry about reclamation.
You can leave all the other stuff in the library and let it reclaim as
needed.
Regards,
Shawn

[ADSM-L] File Device class question
Hi,
Our 3584 library, it holds 270 tapes, is full because we keep our exchange
backup forever. I had to checkout some tapes for onsite storage. However,
we come to the point that it makes reclamation very inefficiency since
tapes are not in the library. I am thinking to create a new Domain and
move some nodes to the new domain. Create a FILE class pool on disk for
onsite restore that associate with the new domain. For now on the current
domain, our primary pool is on tapes. A copy tape pool is send to offsite
for DR.
My question is should I use the current copy tape pool or create a new
copy tape pool bind to the new domain. In addition, any suggest solution
for a situation that I have now? I am sorry I am new to TSM, I hope I
explain well the situation we have now.
Thanks
Rodney
