So I came across this issue last week, searched the forums relentlessly and found lots of problems, but no final answers. Here was the situation:

I had volumes in an overflow pool that had a...

All,
just wanted to give everyone a heads up on some issues I ran into with new 3592-E07 drives.

- Make sure your TSM server version is at 5.5.6 - you will get errors when trying to define paths...

are there any messages in the tsm actlog before or after that - maybe indicating if it is a networking or authentication issue? Is there a library manager between them?

space managed files - take a look under HSM - the basic concept is that there is a storage savings on a client with setting a grace period on files themselves, when that grace period expires, the...

this looks like it could be a networking/routing issue. Has this client been able to talk to the TSM server before? Are their other clients having the same issue? Have you changed network subnets...

also,
if using aix, try using tapeutil to move the tape from one element to another, have you verified there is a tape in that element number? Are you using a library manager? Does the library...

All,
I have been bequethed this lovely product recently from another support group and have had a very painful time making it do what it is supposed to, reliably. I thought I would share some of my...

when you look at sessions during the backup window, are you seeing them hanging around? Are you seeing timeouts for clients in the actlog? Maybe they are losing connectivity but aren't releasing...

you could also try dsmc -virtualnodename=nodename in cli

what are the permissions of the mount point? what is the client version?

is this an nfs mounted filesystem?

if by turning collocation off, your backups worked ( and i assume you meant turned off collocation on your tapepool..)then my assumption would be that even though there looked like plenty of space in...

is the destintaton pool in the backup copygroup for the policy domain that this client sits in set to read write? Are there any errors in the activity log surrounding the error? Is the onlinefile...

double check the read me included with the installation materials but i beleive all you will need is base 5.5 then you can upgrade to the next fix pack level. You will need to run dsmserv upgradedb...

I have seen this issue many times when dealing with multiple schedulers on the same box (i.e. tdp and ba os level). Typically, it is that the logs for both backups are using the same logs located in...

well i think i figured it out.
The only things getting backed up to worm that didn't belong were the directories - thanks to previous posts by PJ that i was able to find in troubleshooting this.
I...

hey everyone, i feel like an idiot, but I have a domain with 2 mc's. One as a destination of the diskpool, the other is a worm tape pool. The diskpool is the def mc and the worm is not. I have...

what is process 145 doing? Is this a migration from disk to tape or tape to tape or from your tape restore process?

i had this on some of my primrary disk pool volumes. Migration would run to a certain point then stop. i took the volumes offline, deleted them and then re-created them. Even running an audit with...

or you could just create a schedule only used by that server and let the include/exclude options on the client control what is backed up or omitted.

when you see the filesystems in TSM, are they listed as unknown? We recently had this problem and it ended up the version of ba client not being able to recongnize zfs filesystems. In that case, we...

i see this a lot. The logs in the sql tdp are named the same as the central scheduler logs. try making a shortcut on your desktop of dsm.exe, right click on it and go to properties. At the end of...

well an IBM sales guy called the man in the corner office and proposed a way to do this..restore the db to another new instance installed on a vmware box and let the database get hammered there with...

thx moon buddy, what other reason could there be than someone asking for something that makes little sense, will be of little use and does not understand the concept of hl and ll reporting. ...

I am being requested to supply a report of every object backed up by tsm since its inception(about 8 years ago). I have 6 instances and the total number of files is in the billions (done by summing...
