Notes:
Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual
throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the
storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the
performance ratios stated here.

Collocation of Active Data

New Active-data pool on
sequential-access disk for fast
Storage hierarchy contains restore
active and inactive data
Active/inactive data in copy
pool for disaster recovery
Storage Hierarchy
Active backup versions still reside on client machine (have not been modified
or deleted)

Active-data pools are sequential-access (typically sequential-access disk)

Benefits of active-data pools on sequential-access disk

- Optimized access to active versions for fast restore
- Reduced size of disk pools if only active versions are stored
- Reduced data movement in preparation for restore of active data

Benefits of active-data pools on tape

– Reduced storage requirement while protecting against media failure or disaster
– Simplified tape management because fewer tapes

TSM Transparent encryption

Available for TSM API applications; e.g. DP Exchange, DP SQL,…
TSM provides simple key management
– TSM API Client generates a random encryption key password
• Per data object selected by “include. encrypt” and “exclude. encrypt” criteria
– TSM API Client passes encrypted data object encryption key password to TSM
Server across “the wire”
• TSM Client-Server “Session Key” used to encrypt/decrypt
• AES128 encryption used if BOTH Client and Server support it
Planned- TSM support for Encryption Capable Drives
– Device Class specification
– One encryption key for each tape volume/cartridge
– TSM Server generates, encrypts, and stores the encryption key in the TSM
database along with other tape volume metadata
Future – Backup-Archive client simple key management support

TSM Server
Use NDMP tape-to-tape copy for backend
movement of data stored on TSM server
via NDMP
Supported operations
NDMP control (TCP/IP) – Storage pool backup
Data flow (SCSI/FC) – Storage pool or volume restore
– Move Data
• Intra-pool for space recovery
• Inter-pool for migration to new device type
Read
DRM support for NDMP data
Tape Library 1
Restore Node will use copy pool, if
primary data not accessible
Write
NAS Device NDMP V4 supported (available 1Q06)
Tape Library 2

Libraries 1 & 2 could

be the same

Backup sets enhancements

Provides self describing tapes for off-site vaulting, data
retention
and tape rotation
Generation of Backup Sets to Point in Time
File Selection During Backup Set Restore
Generation of Backup Sets for List of Nodes

Possible Uses for Enhanced Backup Sets

Offsite vaulting of self-describing data

Traditional tape rotation (e.g., grandfather/father/son) for SMB or

departmental environments

Long-term retention of point-in-time data

– Individual files in backup set do not require entries in TSM database because
entire backup set is tracked as a single entity
– Separate policies for retention of backup set and individual files stored by
TSM
– May be useful in environments with stringent regulatory requirements for
data retention

Generation of Backup Sets to Point in Time

GENERATE BACKUPSET nodename …

PITDATE=mm/dd/yyyy PITTIME=hh:mm:ss

Backup Set
TSM Server
Storage
Hierarchy

Allows generation of backup set to specified point in time

– Files must not already be expired or deleted from the server
– Default is date/time of backup set generation

Benefits
– Increases operational flexibility because backup sets need not be
generated before next client backup
– Allows retroactive generation of full backup if unanticipated needs arise

4. Server restores 4. Server restores

3. Client queries file data to client data to client Backup Set
information and user
selects files to restore
TOC TOC

DB

2. Server locates backup set

TOCs and loads into database

Server storage pool has table of contents (TOC) with backup set contents
On demand, server loads TOC into TSM database
Client queries TOC and displays directory tree structure and files
User expands directories and selects files for restore
Simplifies task of restoring selected directories/files from a backup set

Generation of Backup Sets for List of Nodes

GENERATE BACKUPSET bob,fred,sue

TSM Server Distinct backup sets for

Storage nodes BOB, FRED, and SUE
Hierarchy

Allows generation of multiple backup sets with a single command

– A distinct backup set is generated for each node
– Backup sets generated with a single command are written sequentially to the
same media

Improves media utilization

Physical security may be important for backup set restore at the client
(without the TSM server)

Shredding of Data Stored on Disk

Shreddable Storage Pool Shreddable Storage Pool

a b a c b b a b a c b b
Object “a”
b a b a c deleted/moved b a b a c

Database references Database references

to object “a” deleted and object
“a” overwritten
Database Database

Allows disk storage pools to be designated as “shreddable”

– Random-access or sequential-access disk (not tape or other media types)
– Primary or copy pools
When a data object is moved or deleted from a shreddable pool, TSM server
overwrites the object
Sensitive data objects are destroyed when deleted/moved, preventing
undesirable data discovery
