These are on a dedicated GIG-E network, only used for backup traffic and
the tapes are SAN attached.

Re: [ADSM-L] Backing up a Node while export/importing






For this volume of data it may be better to do it via media, or if you are
going to do it via IP- I would advise deploying a dedicated network link
for that export purpose. define the IP address on the dedicated nic as the
server address. This means that traffic will be localised to the dedicated
link and isolated from other backup traffic.

 I have seen these processes have adverse effects on the network due to
the duration they run for.

[ADSM-L] Backing up a Node while export/importing






I have some very large nodes (20TB) to move between TSM servers (phasing
out AIX to move to Linux).

Obviously, the EXPORT NODE TO SERVER will run a long time since then need
ALL of the existing backups.  However, the backups can't be stopped while
this is occuring.

What is the implications of an export/import going on and also performing
backups to the new/target server at the same time ?

Any suggestions on a better way to do this ?

Also, to make it more complicated, this includes Notes Domino TDP backups.
