TSM 5.1 为3584增加LTO4

各位同行，你们好！
目前的情况是3584带库安装了4个LTO1的驱动器，一共二百多盘Ultrium1的磁盘，TSM5.1。
现在想把所有Ultrium1磁带上的数据整理到Ultrium4的磁带里，最终使用4个LTO4代的驱动器继续工作。

实现方法：
保留现有的4个LT01驱动器，直接增加4个LTO4的驱动器，SAN switch的端口充足，在TSM Server端安装并定义，填入LTO4的磁带若干盘，在TSM上去完成剩余的任务。

以上思路以及实施步骤是否合理？请各位前辈指点一下。:$

查查兼容列表。虽然都支持混查，但是lto1是不是太老？lto4是不是太新？兼容问题是否存在？

谢谢版主提醒，这一点已经在econfig的列表中看到，能够支持LTO4的驱动器!

tsm 支持 lto4???

查了一下，从TSM 5.5开始支持LTO4，TSM 5.4打完5.4.3的补丁也支持LTO4,以前还真没注意过这个问题。长知识了。

TSM 5.1支持LTO4估计有点玄.

明白了，那就升级TSM吧！

可以从任何先前版本的TSM直接升级到TSM V5.5 从V5.4升级到V5.5的时间量可以忽略不讲.V5.4和V5.5之间数据库大小的变化也可以忽略不计.对于V5.3之前的版本,升级可能需要更长时间.版本越旧,此过程执行的时间将越长.如果从任何前发行版升级到TSM,应该执行操作来清除系统对象.:D

TS1040 Tape Drive Model F4A:D

The IBM System Storage TS1040 Tape Drive Model F4A provides integration of IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drives in the TS3500 Tape Library and offers enhancements in performance, capacity, encryption, and reliability over today's IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drives. Continuing to build on the success and acceptance of IBM LTO Ultrium Tape technology, the TS1040 Tape Drive incorporates the new Linear Tape-Open (LTO) IBM Ultrium 4 Tape Drive, which enhances tape drive throughput data rate performance over the IBM LTO generation 3 Tape Drive (Ultrium 3), from 80 MB/sec native data transfer rate to 120 MB/sec. In addition, with the use of the new IBM LTO Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge, the 3588 Model F4A doubles the tape cartridge capacity to up to 800 GB native physical capacity (1,600 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 4 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges. The TS1040 Model F4A comes with a single port 4-Gbps native Fibre Channel interface, for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers.

The new Fibre Channel TS1040 Tape Drives and LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridges are supported in newly purchased TS3500 Model L53 and D53 frames and installed 3584 Model L52, L32, D52 and D32 frames with the same capabilities provided for hot-swap Ultrium 4 drives today. In addition, the Ultrium 4 Tape Drive is designed to provide:

    * Ability to configure Ultrium 2, Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 tape drives in the same frame and same logical library

    * Ability to distinguish between Ultrium 2, Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 Tape Drives on all user interfaces (using inquiry data), on the front of the drive and at the rear of the drive canister

    * Ability to maintain the Ultrium 4 drive serial number during a FRU replacement in the same manner that the TS1120 or 3592 drive serial number is maintained

    * Data security through encryption capability

    * A larger 256 MB internal drive buffer

    * 8 KB cartridge memory with Ultrium 4 media

    * Customer centric Statistical Analysis Reporting System (ccSARS)

    * More highly integrated electronics using IBM-engineered copper technology

For details on the TS1040 Model F4A Tape Drive, refer to Hardware Announcement A07-0567, (RFA45070) dated April 24, 2007.

IBM LTO Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge

The tape cartridge capacity of the IBM LTO Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge has doubled over the IBM LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge to 800 GB native physical capacity (1,600 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 4 Tape Drives can read and write Ultrium 3 (400 GB) data cartridges and read Ultrium 2 (200 GB) data cartridges. Ultrium 2, Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 data cartridges can be resident in the same 3584 Tape Library frame.

The 800 GB physical capacity is designed to help reduce solution costs and improve space utilization. Up to 120 MB/sec native throughput on Ultrium 4 tape drives helps reduce backup windows and speed data recovery. The proven durability of the cartridge helps reduce worry. 8 KB Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) can help enable fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM Ultrium 4 Tape Drives during media load and unload cycles.

The IBM LTO Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge is a cost-effective media offering that increases cartridge capacity over the IBM LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge and can help reduce the amount of equipment, space, and human intervention required for daily tape operations. In addition, reducing the number of cartridges needed for backup and restore operations can help lower operational costs throughout the enterprise. The new blue-gray cartridge colour helps distinguish it from previous generations of IBM LTO media.

现在的econfig列表中提供L22、L32和L52

[attach]28976[/attach]

L32和L52中有3588-F4A TS1040 Ultrim 4 Tape Drive，L22中已经不支持。
而且在econfig的列表中已经将原有的其它不支持型号消除了。

3584就是个破箱子。。。。。了不起升级微码

没有tsm的支持，lto4谁来管理？

某人吃过亏。。。哈哈哈

好想要到tsm5.4.1还是多少，才支持的！以前我查过，最近忘记了，但是肯定tsm5.1是不支持LTO4的

我已经列出一个表了,请去看.

顶:D

3584肯定能支持LTO4，不用查也知道
关键是TSM支持不支持，其他一些使用os提供的驱动程序的备份软件，就好多了

回复 #1 ibm-lxy 的帖子

TSM从5.3.5.2开始支持LTO4的驱动器，但是我不确定5.3.5.2是否支持LTO1的驱动器。

如果硬件方面支持，从做法来看应该是没有什么问题的，我曾经做过很多次这种迁移。记得要migrate。。。:lol
