Offload from Spectrum Protect Plus to Spectrum Protect

  • 1.  Offload from Spectrum Protect Plus to Spectrum Protect

    Posted Mon April 29, 2019 08:04 AM
    Hello,
    has someone hands-on experience with Spectrum Protect Plus?
    Especially with the offload process from Spectrum Protect Plus to Spectrum Protect?
    Any problems with this? Are there performance issues?

    I would like to hear some hands-on experiences prior to implementing it at my customers site.

    Thank you.

    Best regards,
    Jochen

    Jochen,
    SPP offload to SP is easy to set up and works quite well. I'd be happy to run thru a live demo of the offload process for you. Feel free to reach out to me offline if you'd like to schedule a remote demo...

    Hi,

    Do you have a "cookbook" for the setup.

    Hi @Arthur 'Bobbie' Geronimo
    The following resources may be of help to you.
    Start here:
    Configuration for copying or archiving data to IBM Spectrum Protect
    Then, choose which of the following steps you need:
    Step 1: Creating a tape storage pool and a cold-data-cache storage pool for copying data to tape
    Step 2: Configuring an object policy domain
    Step 3: Setting up standard object storage
    Step 4: Adding an object agent for copying data
    Step 5: Adding and configuring an object client for copying data

    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    We have use cases where clients also has been using SPFS in combination with cloud frontend to store data on any media that Spectrum Protect supports.
    SPFS - is a filesystem for Spectrum Protect, and translates all file operations into Spectrum Protect Clien API requests, anything stored or requested from this location is a direct link to this associated and connected Spectrum Protect Client used to communicate with the Spectrum Protect server.

    Hi,

    I hit a bump.  Got some errors and decided to redo from the beginning.  However, I can not remove the object client. From OC, it is no longer there, but in CLI, I can still see the object client. Any suggestion on how to go about this?

    Thanks in advance,

    B
