I bypassed the same problem by recycling the TSM server. Of course, an audit is always required if there are manually checked in tapes into the library.

For the BA client, you should use Point in Time.
For TDP, you should select İnactive Backups and select from that list.

I am also wondering the same thing. Is it possible to back up only drive c: and not d:, e: ? If so, how does one do it?

I connected to Windows with -admin option, where should I look for it?

Thanks again!

I read the earlier files, but apparently I missed this: how did you solve the no-gui problem? I seem to only have installed a command line, not the gui.

Hello,

I am using Symantec BackupExec 2012 (and very new to it). I want to back up physical servers' disk images. Is it possible? I have been looking for a while, and so far the best replacement...

enablelanfree yes
lanfreecommmethod SharedMem
LANFREESHMPORT 1510

just use these options. Performancewise SharedMem is indeed better than tcp/ip.

It's also possible that there was a problem sending some datafiles, but they were saved without problems on a second try. You should look into the backup log, it usually is under...

I usually get an error code of 1 when there are no archive logs to backup. backint issues a warning message, as "there are no logs" but tsm converts this into a failure 1.

You can use:

select * from events where status='Failed' and result!=12

I think it would work for you.

You can create a new storage pool. This does not take disk space. (help create stgpool)
Then you can define volumes to this new storage pool from your new disk array. (help def vol)
Then you can...

I would advise using shared memory as a lanfree communication method.

Are you using multiplexing? It's not clear in your post.

Rai is also right, switching to incremental can decrease your...

You can also use the old ms-dos notations, like EXCLUDE "*:\common\...\filewi~1"

08/01/2012 11:41:52 Database 'etl' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.

Seems quite obvious. Check for system...

And if your database is Oracle, you should use multiplexing to increase your throughput. This is done from your initSID.utl file.

I would say that you should expect at least 300GB/hour, likely 400GB or even 500GB with multiplexing. Try using shared memory instead of tcp/ip as lanfree communication method.

Use these...

Yes, you have to halt the server before any upgrade.

Volhist file is also indispensable for a recovery, remember to save it after database backup.

I once had a similar problem, unistalling TSM Client and all modules, deleting the related data in common files, reinstalling resolved the issue. Hope it helps.

For 5.5 you can create copy db and log volumes on e: and then delete the volumes on c:. No downtime required.

I think you should use:

dsmc i /oracle/product/ -subdir=yes

let me know how that goes.

You should check the script as well, it may have its own log (in case you're triggering a script).

There is also this page on the same subject: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC61711 . It provides us the following:

Local Fix: None


You gotta love their sense of humor....

Before stopping the server, you should check if there are any sessions, processes and mounts. If it's all clean, you should back up your database and if your tsm is version 6+ your volume history...

Yes, I do have a dedicated library manager, so there is no data flow on that server. In this case, I believe a 4 HBA / 24 drive ratio is enough?

Disk I/O is also separated from Tape I/O, ports are...

Hello all,

I am wondering how many HBA cards are you using for your Library Manager TSM Server. Lately I have been getting a lot of unusual tape errors, so I am wondering if 4 HBA cards for 24...

Can you try client version 6.2.3.1? That version has helped with 2-3 of my system state backup problems.

That would make sense if you don't have any old data on your diskpool. If you have data that can be expired in your diskpool, then it would be better to wait the expiration so you don't move...

I haven't worked with TSM server on Linux, but I have had too much trouble to run it on Windows. We have customers whose environment are fully Windows but the TSM server which is on AIX and...

You can create a distinct client schedule for each databases. You'd need to call an appopriate script for each database as well.

You can also use a script like the following:


COPY SCHEDULE $1 $2 $1 $3 REPLACE=NO
DELETE SCHEDULE $1 $2
DEFINE ASSOCIATION $1 $3 $4
Q EVENT $1* $3 begind=+1


where $1 = policy domain, $2...

Storage agent below 2 releases is not supported and 5.1 is also out of support probably like 10 years ago. Would it work? Possibly. I have ran 5.2 storage agents with 5.4 servers.

If your database was not fully backed up since 8 days at the time of this post, that is the problem :)

If your resource timeout parameter is set too low, then TSM server will interrupt communication in some cases of inactivity on client side. For example, I had to increase that parameter when doing a...

From my experience, it is better to have a dedicated library manager than using one of the existing ones for that role.

I have created a unix script that queries the library manager with the label of all the tapes that are outside of the library. I use three queries to see if a volume is usables as scratch:

q vol...

IBM has different part numbers for labeled and non-labeled tape. I guess this is the difference with yours.

Try adding these lines to your dsmserv.opt

DBMTRUSTEDIPADDR ipaddr
DBMTRUSTEDGUIDIGNORE YES
DBMTRUSTEDIPADDR 127.0.0.1
DBMTRUSTEDIPADDR xx.xx.xx.xx --> your i.p. address.

Sadly I don't...

I'd like to see tape library as an option as well.

Extending the retention will also work. Another possibility is to create a new policy domain with longer retention and move the node to this new policy domain, where the new retention rules will...

I think even your checkout may not be completed successfully since you gave the checkout command with checklabel=yes. Make sure you have the tapes in the I/O station before you give the label command.

Sadly, you have to give them by one by one. There is one easier way though, if you can take a list of these tapes from the tsm server, you can concatenate the command on excel.
On column A you...

they can be updated as scratch, however if they are not labeled correctly, they will be re-changed to private the first time TSM will try to use it. Give it a try by taking a tsm db backup after you...

This must be a label problem. Check out 2-3 of your tapes to I/O station, then check them in using the label command. If that works, apply to the rest.

The problemn with your TSM server is that it cannot find the first volume to start reading the database. Make sure that the files written in your dsmserv.dsk file are indeed present on their stated...

You should check your logical library configuration. If it's not set to the maximum amount of tapes it can take, then you have to update the logical library, then delete the library from tsm and...
