Sounds like Tivoli Storage Manager.  TSM is an IBM product that is bundled 
in with the Enterprise Edition package.  We use it to back up our clients 
and servers to i5 disk and then to tape.  Great product.  Early versions 
were native OS/400.  Then they went to PASE.  The latest version, however 
will not even run under PASE.  Requires a linux partition or some other 
platform.  Odd as he!! that they charge you for a product in the 
Enterprise package and it won't even run under any form of OS/400.  My 
boss has an appointment with the new iSeries head - this will be brought 
up.  Along with several other opportunities for software growth on our 
platform.

RE: Cybernetics HSTC






We're not really looking at the performance benefits, although they will 
be
a nice bonus.  We are replacing a 3570 and looking at the advantages of
fewer tapes that hold more data, plus a comprehensive solution to backup 
up
all the servers, Windoze and iSeries alike.

If you're doing it purely for performance, make sure your current tape
technology is the actual bottleneck.  A sample of our backup rates to 3580
LTO2:

730 (2000 CPWs, V5R1, 6534 controller): 70GB/hour
830 (1850 CPWs, V5R1, 2729 controller): 203GB/hour
i5 570 (6000 CPWs, V5R3, 5702 controller): 270+GB/hour

All tests were libraries with 70+GB and 4000+ objects (JDE database), save
settings included DTACPR(*YES).

Only the i5 actually pegs what the tape drive can handle; the other two 
are
hitting other limits in the AS/400.  For the 730, I'm firmly convinced 
it's
the SPD bus.  For the 830, it might be the PCI bus; I never really
investigated as it was 'fast enough', especially when compared to the 730.

Also, again if backup window is a concern, would the faster checkpointing 
in
V5R3 help?

Subject: Cybernetics HSTC

We are considering a disk to disk to tape backup solution from Cybernetics
called the HSTC.  It's essentially a terabyte of disk with software to 
make
it look like LTO tapes, and an attached LTO tape drive. Has anyone had any
experience with this unit or this type of solution? Any gotchas you could
share?
