Popesy,

Did you try push install from UNIX master server?

Kind regards, Olivier

n9hmg,

In your case AIX-to-AIX, a TSM DB backup and restore would have been easier ... !!!

My 50 cents

Hi,

NetBackup for VMware is more an umbrella name. It is the integration with VCB/vStorage (depending on VMware/NetBackup versions). It includes features like VM's auto discovery, off-host backup...

Hi,

You can get information from NetBackup Administration Console >> Help >> License Keys.

Best regards, Olivier.

Me again ... ;-)

Error might also come from -J option. You are supposed to optionally set host name of a storage node there, not path of a device.

Best regards, Olivier

Hi,

I would rather try save -s <server_name> -c <client_name> ..., where <server_name> is fully qualified name of your backup server and <client_name> fully qualified name of your client (same as...

It seems that there is a mismatch between the name on the server and in the device configuration of the storage agent. I would suggest to check the name in the device configuration file of the...

Hi,

This is a common issue when you try to start TSM server while not being under directory /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin. You should rather use dsmserv.rc script to do so.

Best regards, Olivier.

As moon-buddy indicated, you should notbe running with root but rather with sap admin.

Best regards, Olivier.

Hi,

I would advise to either start to in the foreground interactively in order to check for error messages. It should explain why the agent is not starting or at least give us a hint.

Best...

Hi,

I faced the same problem a few years ago when you updated tape drives from LTO-1 to LTO-2. While there was a backward compatibility (read/write) between both technologies, the customer was...

Hi,

Officially, IBM support client at level N-1, N or N+1 compared to server level. For instance, if your server is a version 5.4, clients at version 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 are compatible. However, do...

Hi,

I would first recommend you to check that your HBA's are in the support list, which is available here: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21193154.

If yes, I would suggest to...

Hi,

The backupset feature (as the name implies) is working with backed up data only. Worth to know is that it works with active data by default. So, to keep it simple, just backup your data and...

Hi,

Normally, you should have library inventory in your devconf file. Then, when you restore DB, TSM checks volhist for volume name (usually barcode) and then devconf to know in which slot in...

FYI, if you need element number for this library, check this link:

Hi,

With non-IBM devices, you should use TSM device driver. Look at the manual to know how to set it up.

However, here it might be a little bit tricky as C2 can have IBM LTO drives. Then, you...

Hi,

I assumed that we're talking about backup stg from tapepool to copypool. For sure, you do not have a correct backup. However, your primary tapepool should not be offsite if you have a...

Great job ...
I would never have thought about files/directories in the recycle bin.

Regards, Olivier.

Hi,

Like for every storage pools, reclamation is controlled by reclamation threshold. Normally set at 100% (free space required to kick-off reclamation, which means no reclamation as 100% free is...

Hi,

While it is true that it works fine, the performance are really poor compared to other platforms. You should have a look at the following figures:

Hi,

First of all, I never heard that archive does not handle link!!! According to me, it is not true whatever platform (Unix, Linux or even Windows). So, I would recommend it to perform monthly...

Hi,

Sorry for this late answer, I was quite busy those last days.

1. Anyway, if you started all backups at the same time and there are enough mount points available, they will use a different...

Hi,

It is indeed on boulder, but at: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/techprev/tsmopreport/latest/

Hi,

I never tried it myself ... It's a few years ago that I did not work with TSM on AS/400 thought. However, I do not see why it would not work if you copy the files (pages and images) in the...

I found it back on my home desktop.
However, it cannot be uploaded here.

Regards, Olivier.

PS: Give me an email address and I will email it to you.

Hi,

Return code 137 is DSM_RC_AUTH_FAILURE. Therefore, the password used by db2adutl to connect to TSM does not match one stored for node. You should use dsmapipw.

Regards, Olivier.

Hi,

It has always been a problem to have a simple policy like for instance keeping backups for 30 days, while doing incremental forever. Indeed, backups with TSM are version rather than retention...

Concerning db and log volumes, it was recommended in the past to have them on different physical disks. Now, with disk arrays showing bigger disks (i.e. 146 GB), it is hard to achieve.

Therefore,...

Hi,

While backupset is a great feature (one of the key differentiator to other products), I need to warn you that it can sometimes be a time-consuming process.

Even if data do no travel back...

Hi,

There is no easy answer, but there are 2 major schools depending if you want to have different workload on same physical disks. If not, cause you want to be sure that one workload won't...

Hi Guys,

As you're sticking to the same OS, I would do it rather simple. Install new TSM server from scratch. Then, you can connect tape library to new server (easy if it is SAN attached). Then,...

Hi,

I think that what you are looking for is Operational Reporting. There, you can send reports by mail through an external smtp server. Unfortunetely, it only works on Windows from Mickeysoft.
...

Hi,

You should think about getting a deduplication appliance.
There exist some for WAN connection ...

Regards, Olivier.

Hi,

Have look at TSM Operational Reportings, I think that it has a mailing feature.

Regards, Olivier.

Hi,

In the manual, there is no delete toc or whatever it could be called command. Therefore, I assume that it cannot be done in a secure way. You can still decide to delte volume(s), on which TOC...

Stephan,

The number of disks (then spundles) is more important than the number of enclosure, which at the end are connected through a loop anyway. Therefore, 1 TB would mean 8 disks, which is not...

Hi,

Never heard about like SQL statement. Try this one, which should work on any platform:

select library_name as "Library", count(*) as "Total Scratch Volumes" f
rom libvolumes where...

Hi,

I must still have it home. I will try not forget to post it this evening.

Regards, Olivier.

Hi Stephan,

It has always been a recommendation to store DB, log and pools on different physical disk. Now, it might become difficult to achieve this without loosing too much space.

However,...

Hi,

TSM script are quite basic in what they allow. For instance, it is impossible to redirect output to a file from within a TSM script.

Therefore, I would recommend to create a perl, jscript...

Hi,

Here is what I found in TSM knowledge base (IBM website):

If this service is set to manual and TSM Systemstate backups still receive the VSS_E_UNEXPECTED_PROVIDER_ERROR message please...

Hi there,

I'd like to comment on cheffern reply. Do not forget that serialization won't solve your problem if an application or operating system has an exclusive lock on file. In this case,...

In fact, I meant that include (inside include-exclude file) is the same as either include.backup or include.archive. Therefore, all those include statements will apply for both backups and archives....

No problem. We're there to help each other. If I'm not wrong and IBM changed nothing to the way it works, the hot spare must be at least as big as the failing drive.

I must admit that I did not...
