One of our customers has a TSM sevrer with a very big TSM database (100G) and wants to split this big TSM server database into two TSM servers.
The plan is to install a new TSM server instance and load this big TSM database into this new instance. We want to separate these two TSM servers in the following way: we would delete those nodes from the original TSM server that we would keep in the new/another instance and vica versa based on the storage pool usage (means keep/delete whole storage pools on TSM servers).
/* The new instance will be a library client of the original TSM server which will be a library manager. */
What do you think of it? Will it work or not?
If you are using "export node to server" you can split easily the servers (needs some time). After thee splitting you'll need some downtime for the DB cleanup on the old TSM Server.
ReplyDeleteI haven't either (I'm not the anon who replied earlier), but I can imagine it might take a bit of time :)
ReplyDeleteHow did this process go? Any updates?
