We are using it for SAP documents and archiving. It has it's own tsm
software server but shares a physical server with 2 other tsm software
servers and the commonstore server instances (4). We have disk pools,
optical pools, and tape pools. We have a domain for each Commonstore
Instance. I keep each Commonstore instance in it's own directory tree so I
can upgrade one without upgrading the others. For our production
commonstore instance depending on the requirement and the frequency of
recall we have management classes that point to disk which drain to optical
and then drain to tape with all being backed up to tape copy pool. We have
management classes that point to optical and then drain to tape with tape
copy pools and then we have management classes that go straight to tape with
tape copy pools.
We are using a 3494 as our tape library for this but with our other tsm
servers we share both the 3494 and the 3584. I found with the 3584 it was
easier to have one of the servers be the master and the others the client
for the tape library. It does mean that if tsmsvr1 (master) is down then no
one else can use the tapes but it made it simpler because when I need drives
for Commonstore I don't necessarily need them for backups and vice versa.
Good luck

Subject: Common Store and Tivoli
Hello,
We are looking to integrate Common Store into our environment utilizing
Tivoli as our backend archive restore/retrieval process. What I would
like to know from any of you is, what other environments are doing?
In order to meet different sla's set for our environment, Is anyone setting
up a separate instance of TSM for content manager? How do you parse out the
Tape Library drives, slots?
Background Info.
Our 3584 Tape library due up on lease shortly, we are looking to expand more
tape drives, upgrading library to bring it up to a minimum of a 12 tape
drive to increase our performance and capacity overall and to assist for
email archiving.
3584 TSM Server -Version 5.1.6.5, on AIX RS/6000
103 window clients
Lotus Notes TDP 5.1.5.0
Lotus Notes Release 5.0.11
