Onbar backup using Tivoli Storage Manager
Posted in 2007
Hi guys,
Is it possible to send logs backup of informix to disk using TSM? How can
this task be achieved? I understand that ontape uses LTAPEDEV and whenever
you use onbar and a storage manager to backup Informix, TAPEDEV and
LTAPEDEV are ignored and all the mechanism control is being given to the
storage manager.
Using onbar with TSM, how does one configure Informix or TSM to send the
logs to a location other than the storage device attached to the TSM
server. Is this doable?
>From past experience with other storage manager, I will define my pool,
volume , device and type within the storage manager to take care of that
piece, but recently I am told by someone from IBM that the same results can
be obtained by configuring informix itself to direct the logs to another
location.
Is this a mixed up between onbar and ontape backups. Please advise!
Ideas and thoughts are greatly appreciated.
