- Changes in Defining Drives and Libraries
-
- Device names are now specified in the DEFINE PATH and UPDATE PATH
commands, rather than in the DEFINE DRIVE, UPDATE DRIVE, DEFINE LIBRARY, and
UPDATE LIBRARY commands
- Path names for external libraries are now specified in the DEFINE PATH
command.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
See the following new commands:
DEFINE PATH
DELETE PATH
QUERY PATH
UPDATE PATH
See the following changed commands:
DEFINE DRIVE
DEFINE LIBRARY
QUERY DRIVE
QUERY LIBRARY
UPDATE DRIVE
UPDATE LIBRARY
- Moving Data by Node
- You can use the MOVE NODEDATA command to move data in a sequential-access
storage pool for one or more nodes, or move data in a single node with
selected file spaces. You can also use MOVE NODEDATA to consolidate
data for offsite disaster recovery storage, or move data to another storage
pool.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
- Support for Simultaneous Writes to Primary and Copy Storage Pools
- You can specify copy storage pools in a primary storage pool
definition. When a client backs up, archives, or migrates a file, the
file is written to the primary storage pool and is simultaneously stored into
each copy storage pool.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
See the following changed commands:
DEFINE STGPOOL
QUERY SESSION
QUERY STGPOOL
REGISTER NODE
UPDATE NODE
UPDATE STGPOOL
- High Availability Cluster Multiprocessing
- Tivoli Storage Manager can now use High Availability Cluster
Multiprocessing (HACMP). HACMP provides the leading AIX-based
clustering solution, which allows automatic system recovery during system
failure detection. By using HACMP together with Tivoli Storage Manger,
you can ensure server availability.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
- Tivoli Data Protection for New Network Data Management Protocol Support
-
New Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) support now extends to the
AIX(R) (32-bit and 64-bit) Tivoli Storage Manager server platform.
The new Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP product supports NDMP backup and
restore for network-attached storage (NAS) file servers from IBM and Network
Appliance. NDMP allows a network storage-management application to
control the backup and restore of an NDMP-compliant file server without
installing third-party software on that server. The NAS file server
does not require installation of TSM software. The TSM server uses NDMP
to connect to the NAS file server to initiate, control, and monitor a file
system backup or restore operation. The NDMP support for NAS file
servers enables higher performance backup to tape devices without moving the
data over the LAN. TDP for NDMP is a separately priced and licensed
product.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
See the following new commands:
BACKUP NODE
DEFINE DATAMOVER
DEFINE PATH
DELETE DATAMOVER
DELETE PATH
QUERY DATAMOVER
QUERY PATH
UPDATE DATAMOVER
UPDATE PATH
RESTORE NODE
- Data Validation with Cyclic Redundancy Checking
- Tivoli Storage Manager provides the option of specifying whether a cyclic
redundancy check (CRC) is performed during a client session with the server,
or for storage pools. The server validates the data by using a cyclic
redundancy check which can help identify data corruption. Data
validation can be enabled for one or all of the following:
- Tivoli Storage Manager client nodes at Version 5.1
- Tivoli Storage Manager storage agents at Version 5.1
- Storage pools
See Administrator's Guide and TSM Managed System for
SAN Storage Agent User's Guide for more information.
See the following changed commands:
DEFINE SERVER
DEFINE STGPOOL
QUERY NODE
QUERY SERVER
QUERY VOLUME
REGISTER NODE
UPDATE NODE
UPDATE SERVER
UPDATE STGPOOL
- New Licensing Method
- The new licensing method enables you to register the exact number of
licenses that are required, rather than in increments of 1, 5, 10, and
50.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
- Server Performance Enhancements
- There are two new Tivoli Storage Manager performance enhancements:
- AIX Asynchronous I/O Support. This feature is available via a new
option in the server options file.
- AIX Direct I/O Support. This feature is available via a new option
in the server options file.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
