ProtecTIER Terminology

Term Definition

Nominal capacity The amount of Recoverable User Data that can be stored in the TS7650G repository

Physical capacity The physical capacity used in the TS7650G repository

Factoring Ratio The ratio of nominal to physical capacity

Also called Hyperfactor Ratio, De-dup Ratio

Data Change Rate The rate at which the data received from the backup application changes from backup to backup. This measurement has most relevance when “like” backup policies are compared. (Data change rates may range from 1% to >25%, but is difficult to directly observe)

Data Retention Period The period of time (usually measured in days) that customers keep their disk-based backups on-line. This period of time typically ranges from a period of 30 to 90 days, but can be much longer.

Role Based Administration

Administrator has full access to the ProtecTIER system.

Note: Only one Administrator can be logged into the ProtecTIER system

at a time. If you log in as an Administrator while another Administrator is already

logged in, a notification pane is displayed informing you who is logged in and offering

to force that Administrator to log out.

Operator can access ProtecTIER Manager monitoring screens and

perform the following tasks:

– Toggle cartridges between read/write and read-only modes.

– Set the HyperFactor mode for libraries.

– Reset virtual tape drives and robots.

– Unload and moving cartridges from virtual tape drives.

Monitor can only access ProtecTIER Manager monitoring screens.

Create a Repository

Syntax:

fsCreate

Options (mutually exclusive):

-n #create GFS file systems for all mpath devices during first time installation -e #create GFS file systems for new mpath devices during capacity upgrade -t #create mount points and register GFS file systems to /etc/fstab -r #display all repository GFS file systems -u #display unused devices -g #display all non-repository GFS file systems

Optional parameters:

-s #script mode, removes header from output and disables user prompts

TS7650 Virtual Tape Library Creation

Create VTL / Drives / Virtual Media

The 2 IBM libraries offer:

• IBM Drivers

• Control Path Failover

• IBM i support

• ATL P3000 is the original emulation from Diligent

• DTC VTF is the original Diligent Library used for NetBackup

• IBM TS3500 is for TSM / BRMS etc

• IBM V-TS3500 is for NetBackup

Design your drive

carefully before filling

This screen creates the virtual media.

Note that the size of unused cartridges will vary over time

as your de-dup ratio varies

Define the slots and convenience IO for

your library

Don’t skimp on the slots since you have to take the PT offline

to add moreLibraries attached to IBM i can have a maximum of 4096 positions where media can reside.

(That is, the total of the # drives, # convenience IO slots + number of media slots + 1 (for the picker) must be 4096 or less.
