Hi, We are planning to move IDS 10.UC6 from HP-UX to RHL-AS4 (64bit). Currently we use Informix netbackup agent for logical logs and level 0 archive using ON-BAR. We have been told that Informix netbackup is not supported on Linux. Is that correct? I know TSM is good option but be difficult due to financials and existence of another storage manager (netbackup). I can use ONTAPE (excellent and simple) but would like to use ON-BAR only. Other option is use ISM. Database size is 100 GB. I am sure so many out here will be using onbar on Linux (without TSM). Can you please share your experiences on: 1. Preferred File system type XFS, EXT3 etc. for ISM to store logical logs and archives 2. Any thing in particular I should be aware of using ISM on Linux e.g. limitation etc. 3. Any URL/link on how to setup ISM with some sort of ISM installation checklist Thanks. --------------------------------- Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo!
