[ADSM-L] Stupid question about TSM server-side dedup
2011-11-21 23:52:07
Have a customer would like to go all disk backups using TSM dedup. This would
be a benefit to them in several respects, not the least in having the ability
to replicate to another TSM server using the features in 6.3.
The customer has a requirement to keep their NDMP dumps 6 months. (I know
that's not desirable, but the backup group has no choice in the matter right
now, it's imposed by a higher level of management.)
The NDMP dumps come via TCP/IP into a regular TSM sequential filepool. They
should dedup like crazy, but client-side dedup is not an option (as there is no
client).
So here's the question. NDMP backups come into the filepool and identify
duplicates is running. But because of those long retention times, all the
volumes in the filepool are FULL, but 0% reclaimable, and they will continue to
be that way for 6 months, as no dumps will expire until then. Since the dedup
occurs as part of reclaim, and the volumes won't reclaim -how do we "prime the
pump" and get this data to dedup? Should we do a few MOVE DATAs to get the
volumes partially empty?
