Moving logical logs backup to disk
Hi,
Does anyone know how to redirect our logical logs backup from tape to
disk? We currently use a storage manager and onbar and a seperate server
with tape drive for this purpose. The sys admin guys want to retire the
seperate server with tape drive.
This is our configuration:
Operating System: Solaris 9
Database: Informix 7.30.UC2
Storage Manager:Solstice Backup 5.1 Turbo 10
Thanks
Gerry

Does it mean that you will not have external storage manager any more?
Then you can use ISM (Informix Storage Manager) with OnBar, that is
bundled with IDS, without additional costs. It is some kind of Legato
Networker. It is fairly easy to set up to make backups on disks, as far
as I remember when I was playing with it.
(BTW: is Solstice Backup also a kind of Legato? If it is, it might be a
bit easier to adapt to ISM. But keep in mind that it is not possible to
use ISM and "full" Legato Networker on the same server, so that might
disqualify ISM if you want to have Solstice Backup on the same server).
You should upgrade your IDS version, if possible. I do not expect it is
supported these days.

When did "retire" become a transitive verb?
Hmmm... thin ice, looong time ago....
for ism you have
ISM_DATA_POOL ISMData
ISM_LOG_POOL ISMLogs
onconfig values where ISM_DATA_POOL points to the name of your pool
where dbspaces are sent to and ISM_LOG_POOL
points to the name of the where the logs are sent to.
if i recall correctly under solstice=legato??????? this is controled
using env vars.
NSR_DATA_POOL
NSR_LOG_POOL
So check your env for these.
create a pool which is disk and set the env var NSR_LOG_POOL to that
pool.
