I got external DLT8000 DRIVE which I can connect to SP
controlworkstation ,nfs mount file system via SP switch to SPCWS and
run tar and then gunzip the data ,but another sys admin says tar fails
for files > 2GB in size .I was thinking of backup command in unix .
Someone suggested TSM export /import -, Does anyone know about TSM import
/export -How does it works ?LTO3584 drives are inside the library @both
locations if import /export works then I can use LTO tapes instead of DLT
.
>Could you hook up an external unit locally and mirror/copy the data on it
varyoff/export and ship import/varyon.
I guess not as these nodes are connected to ESS SHARK via Mcdata SAN
switches .

Re: transferring data from one location to another
Just some ideas....
If your Sydney server could access the other server(s) data you could
spend week-end time restoring to the Sydney server (form TSM). We have
found this to be useful, never outside LAN though.
Could you hook up an external unit locally and mirror/copy the data on it
varyoff/export and ship import/varyon.
Is DVD an option, not sure how much they hold.
DLT drives are fairly cheap.

Well , I am not looking to do ftp /sftp etc.. that will run forever . I
am thinking in terms of copying/tar on tape and send that tape down to
Sydney (something like tar , tsm or any better ideas ?)

Re: transferring data from one location to another
how much bandwidth between the sites? is it in encrypted link? does the
data need to be secure in transit?

Guys,
I need to transfer/restore approximately 75-100gig of data residing on a
couple SP nodes here (US) to an AIX server in Australia. This is required
in order to refresh a Sydney development environment w/ a copy from our
production corporate Financials environment. This will include
application code (many small files) as well as 50+gig of database files.
We have TSM server running @ both the locations. Could you guys please
discuss options(TSM ,non TSM ) around this and give me your recommendation
on the best method to handle this.
Thanks,
Shekhar Dhotre
