Thanks, Harry.

Hi folks,

Need a bit of help with the following:

I have 2 TSM servers (1 Library Manager and 1 Library Client) running TSM 5.5.5.2 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 x64. They are attached,...

Thanks, I caught the reason they were going straight to tape, even though I had them going to disk. I had a max file size of 50 GB, on my disk pools.

Need to see if they can go to disk instead of tapes, since I am running low in scratches.


thanks.

Craps!! Thanks, ilovetsm.

I ran an archive for files that are not longer available. I ran it using a 365 days retention, but now the user needs it to be for 7 years. Is it possible to just re-bind the archive?


Running:...

Great help...thanks guys

Finally was able to find why reclamation was running even when the Admin schedules were not active. Previous TSM admin had put an entry on his migration script to start reclamation right after it.
...

Thanks guys, I will change the schedules to the 2 days that I need, and add the STOP_RECLAIM_TAPEPOOL and STOP_RECLAIM_COPYPOOL to up the threshold to 100%.

You guys mean that even when the schedule is not active, it will run it?

All I have is this (see below) and both are not active.

SCHEDULE_NAME: START_RECLAIM_COPYPOOL
DESCRIPTION: Start Reclamation on COPYPOOL
COMMAND: upd stg copypool reclaim=50
...

No, I want to run it, via schedule, instead of automatically. I am running TSM v5.5.2-0 on Linux SLES9 SP3. I set the schedule to run on Tuedays and Thursdays, but it is still running daily.

Need to schedule a reclamation to happen twice weekly...How do I stop it from running daily? Do I use the NOMIGRRECL entry in dsmserv.opt?

Perhaps a dumb question, but, we have a site running TSM 5.5.2-0 on Windows 2003 x64, for an Oracle database server running on Red Hat, and we need to restore one of their Oracle db to a similar...

Thanks, this was of great help.

I'll try this, Chad. Thanks for the prompt answer. I'll let you know.

Hi guys,

Currently I have this configuration:

1 Quantum Scalar i2000 with 3 partitions (1 LTO3 and 2 LTO4s)
6 TSM Servers (1 library manager and 5 library clients)
All running TSM v5.5.2-0

Hi guys,

I have about 80 Windows servers - 2003 & 2008 - that I need to configure for TSM backups. Is there any script that can help me do an unattended configuration of the dsm.opt, and create...

Hi guys,

I need your help with this:

I have been requested to document day-to-day operation/administration, troubleshooting backups, installing clients, etc. I have a ton of stuff on all these,...

Sorry, smellycat, for some reason in my posting I didn't include the RCs for this to run on

tdp:35: once:/usr/bin/dsmc schedule -optfile=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/dsm.opt /dev/null 2>&1

That...

Don't know in RHEL, but SLES 9, only allowed me 3 letters to label the entry:

tdp: once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc schedule 2>/dev/null

Try using something shorter, like 'tdp' or 'dom'

Thanks, Greg...very helpful!!!

This might be a dumb question, but ...

How do I restore a Windows Client's files from within DMZ when the SESSIONINITIATION option is set to SERVERONLY?

Sweet. Thanks for sharing this.

I don't know, guys, but 30-40 minutes sound a bit too much to me. I have servers with a 32GB DB and 12GB log, and they don't take more than 10 minutes to come up.

If you are referring to the clients, you should use the version that is closest to your TDP version. If you are going to use TDP for Domino v5.5.x, it is better to have TSM 5.5.x as well, so the API...

Anyone has a list or suggestions for best practices on backing up Oracle Real Application Clusters with TSM/TDP?


thanks

Thanks, JohanW. I installed XAMPP, so I will follow your advice.

Thanks for the reply, nenifled

yes, I currently have a page where I display some info for TSM servers, I want to place a link in there so the reports from Operational Reporters are available as a web page. Do I need to run IIS or...

- Do we have to run Apache or IIS to have OR available as a link on a web page?

Anyone knows if there's a way of excluding 0kb files when backinp up a NetWare server. I have quite a few files that---for some reason ended up bad and being 0kb--and they keep resulting in a backup...

I'll keep you posted on this Mike. I have a PMR open with IBM as well. They haven't been much help.

Everything looks okay. It would seem like every once in a while, TSM loses the path to the library. Can't figure out why?

Thanks, Mike, I have checked all these, but the errors keep on happening and I cannot find the root cause for them.

Anyone has gotten these every time they try to checkin tapes or label volumes?

well, you can always associate it back again.

Yup, Chad is absolutely right. Better safe than sorry.

Pull down the menu and select "disassociate node"

The check mark is to choose which schedule you want to apply the action from the pull down menu.

Thanks, guys.

Quick question guys:

If I start to collocate by group, do I have to move data or TSM will do the reorg by itself?

So, DO I.

So, far, we are trying to resolve TSM losing library paths since the upgrade to 5.5.x. Was that what you guys were working on as well?

question for you guys,

I turned off san discovery (per IBM recommendation) on my Library Manager, should I turn it off in the library clients as well?


thanks

SHow VOLUMEUSAGE <NodeName>


Will give you volumes used by a node, as well.

Do you have nodes backup to many different device classes? What exactly are you trying to get from this query?
