Re: Doing remote journals to the cloud

Yeah, I know you are a different beast which is what makes pct really
nice. I just figured that with the size of Penn State that someone,
somewhere, might have an IBM i.

RE: Doing remote journals to the cloud






Main Campus Parking use to use an AS/400 but I don't think they do
anymore. Nice idea. Main Campus uses a VM machine which all the other
branches also use for most admin work. We are a bit of a different beast
in the Penn State world being a totally independent college. I think I
might ask their IT office if anyone does or if I go the hourly FTP route
just give me some disk space on one of their huge Sharks

Hey Mike,
Are there any IBM i's at main campus or the dozen or so other satellites
that you could get a small lpar on for your remote journals? Wouldn't
staying in the system be cheaper than using a 3rd party? I'm guessing
Main has a real nice trunk ;)

RE: Doing remote journals to the cloud






All good points and all very hard to determine. Students love to suck up
bandwidth. When sending journals I would think it would only take a small
portion of this since the data is spread out over all day. And in a
disaster mode we could force everyone off and give the full pipe to
pulling down a days worth of journals or do it at 3:00 am. Always going to

depending on when the disaster would hit, time of year, needs to get back
up and up-to-date.

Does anyone ever get full use of their 250MB pipe? Or are there "class of

service" limitations? Like the voice I mentioned earlier. We can't have
voice transactions getting whacked because of a file download.

100 minutes on full use of a 250MB pipe (I think- it is early in the day
and my math brain may still be groggy)

Probably faster to overnight them. How fast could you download this?

DSPOBJD OBJ(#MXJRN/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*JRNRCV)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/JRNRCV)

SELECT sum(ODOBSZ)
FROM qtemp/jrnrcv
WHERE ODCDAT in('072511', '072611')

SUM ( ODOBSZ )
23,999,713,280

Why couldn't you download the remote journals as opposed to express
mailing tapes?

How big are the journals and how many transactions/hour. That will tell
us how big a pipe needs to be available to the remote site.

This concept is easy but would most likely require 24 hours to back up the



remote journals, express overnight delivery (or faster airline package,
but way more money), restore, and roll forward. Is that inside your
recovery window? (Recovery time)

My thought was to dual journal local and remote. In the case of a

this were to happen. We backup nightly and take that off-site both
database and journals but journals are on the same system so if the
disaster where to happen at the end of the next work day I would lose that



days transactions.

We use Mimix.

I haven't heard if any of the offsite backup places like Vault/400 allow

you to remote journal to their locations.

I know of one person on this list who is offering cloud services for the

i. Maybe that could be done that way. Unless your transactions are
rather small, wouldn't that take a pretty good pipe?

Are your plans to restore on your home server, move the remote journal

changes back and then apply them? Or restore on the backup, Apply the
remote changes on the backup and then save and send the data back to
primary?

Does anyone on this list know if and 3rd party or IBM is talking about
an offering for iSeries customers to do remote journaling to the
cloud? Keep one copy local and send another to a remote server farm.
That would give is almost up to the second recovery capabilities in
case of disaster. We use the last backup and the journals form the

cloud.
