Server Primary For Tsm
Houston, Texas, Us
• Started by supporting 7 TSM Servers (4 solutions) with about 1.5 PB of storage residing in 4 libraries, including over 3000 clients for nearly every operating system and application. • Three of these accounts were in a troubled status. • In two of the cases, the DR process was not fulfilling the customers’ requirement for recovery. • Improved the process to exceed the customers’ requirement and ensured all consistencies were in place. The other troubled account was near capacity of the library. • There were numerous clients not configured appropriately, old data not being removed, old tape drives (LTO2) and outdated firmware and software. • Within a four month timeframe, I successfully implemented new LTO4 technology, which encompassed a migration of 2600 plus LTO2F tapes to the new format. • All servers’ administrative processes were completed in a timely manner. • Along with all of the solutions, I completed an upgrade of the TSM server and client code, upgraded library and drives firmware to a stable production level, and had library management software configured and enabled.• Oct 2008, we restructured, I was asked to support the 2nd shift as the senior person on shift. With this move, I now support 4 new accounts. Two of these accounts are in troubled status. Clients were not completing in a timely manner, TSM servers did not have enough disk storage and both libraries were near capacity and running old technology with down level code. • Similar to what I previously accomplish, I implantation and migrated 1600 LTO2 to LTO4 technology, and added additional resources to accommodate the clients processing. All of the accounts are now in normal steady state. • I trained the Help Desk analysts (2nd shift) on trouble shooting methods and tactics which prevents client wait time or page out for operation issues. I am always looking for improvements, risk prevention and cost saving/avoidance.
