Hi,

I'll have to integrate a EMC SAN environment into the TSM backup
environment.

The EMC will give disks mainly to Windows2000 servers (file and print,
Exchange, MS SQL).

The TSM server (TSM 5.1 on Windows2000) has an IBM LTO library and the TDP
for Exchange and MS SQL is currently used to backup these servers (not in
the SAN yet).

Is it possible to take an online backup of Exchange/MS SQL combined with the
timefinder software of the EMC SAN?

If I create a diskpool for TSM on the SAN as well, do I still need to
connect the library to the SAN? I guess that if the diskpool is large enough
for the incremental backups, it won't be worth the effort. But can multiple
clients start their backu to the same diskpool on the SAN. Or is the
diskpool locked by a client when it's backup starts and do the other clients
have to wait until it is released? A diskpool can be created on the SAN in
TSM 5.1 to allow LAN-free backups if I'm not mistaken.

Any recommendations, hints in the setup of the EMC SAN / Timefinder and TSM
are more than welcome.

Kurt

Are there 3 reporting tools for TSM. And any comments on their
features?
