In your case it's likely the opposite: someone probably set up the DRM before your time.

Yes, multiple tapes, complete system restore and TSM is only mounting 1 tape at a time.

All - I have observed several cases where multi session restore flat out just doesn't work. For instance I am running a restore right now for a Windows 2003 server with resourceutilization set to 6...

Look into the Unified Recovery cost model if you haven't already. We saw significant savings.

He's saying install the 5.5 code on your new system, restore your prod instance there and then perform the same system upgrade steps. Do not leave out any steps.

Been there done that. This should help you.

It means that the TSM DB doesn't know the state of object in question from the table you are querying. This can be for a number of reasons. For example TSM uses a server option called eventretention....

I did some quick research on this out of curiosity. There isn't much out there and it doesn't sound like a recommended approach. See below.

Try adding an inclexcl file and putting your parms in there.

IE from dsm.sys:

Servername server_a
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or servername

Looks good and cost effective as well. The problem tracking feature sounds neat. Can support be purchased in USD? Thanks!

Yes your upgrade steps look solid. I did pretty much the same thing you are looking at. Make sure you follow IBM's instructions to the T. Also - there are a few things that aren't in the guide but an...

Thanks for the reply. I finally caved and talked to our SQL SME. As it turns out what I was trying to do can be accomplished by doing a pass through query.

Come on SQL/Access gods I know someone can answer this :) I know what is going on - Access is hosing up the query with the table. If you add a . between tsmdb1 and filespaceview the query works fine...

Works like a charm. One slight revision though need the pr prefixing the process variable otherwise you get an error because it will just do cancel #:

When attempting to create an odbc connection in Access to the FILESPACES table in TSM 6.3 I get the following error:

What about simply purchasing additional tapes? It would seem you are limited based on your current situation.

I've seen several cases of software corruption between Windows patching & the TSM client. I would suggest halting the TSM service prior to the patch and restarting it post. If they use a script for...

5. all you need to do is halt the tsm server and you can proceed with the upgrade - it is pretty straight forward
9. that is correct. the licenses and driver are only required in the initial...

I experienced a similar issue using the wizard and had to do the loadformat manually. You did say however that your import was successful after doing this?

"disable sess client" from the tsm server will prevent ALL client session activity. Alternately you can stop the client scheduler nodes on the clients in question OR adjust your backup schedule...

You can delete the copypool volumes as well. If there is data you want to retain on said tapes - this data will be replicated the next time you run a backup stgpool on the primary pool.

If the number of tapes in your primary pools meeting your reclamation thresholds it low it is due to your retention policies. As Tariq stated - I wouldn't consider changing this without discussing...

Check IBM's site. I'm sure they have what you are looking for. I have some generic deployment sales material ppts but nothing for just what you are looking for.

I realize this doesn't answer your question but I would think it would be easier and more effective to just automate a query to the tsm server events table for the same thing.

What exactly do you want to accomplish with the data you are trying to back up? There is an HSM product for TSM:

This thread could help. I am not aware of other methods and would not recommend attempting to restore between the two. Of course if you have a lab environment you could try it should not hurt...

The tech note I referenced previously did in fact resolve my issue. While it wasn't exact to the RC: 0 and error I was receiving it did work with some minor tweaking.Hopefully this helps someone else...

Tariq, I've done the repair it did not resolve the issue. Proceeding with the IBM suggested solution below - will advise when complete.
