Long story short - a client has a backup of an Ubuntu folder he'd like retrieved. He converted the server to a Windows machine but still sees he has backup data from when it was an Ubuntu server (I...

As a storage administrator as well as TSM administrator, I was told XIV's (gen I & II anyway) were not good used as a platform for databases because they do not cache writes and, with the additional...

Have you tried
upd dr miamilto4 mt0.0.0.3 onl=yes ?

You'll probably have to do the same with the paths

q path
and if any offline
upd path blah blah blah onl=yes

from command line...

IE8 is not compatible with Admin Center 6.2 - going to 6.3!! :-(

We recently had this same problem and it turned out to be an error in the script creating the file name. The script owner corrected it and life is good again. Have them verify they don't have a...

I have newly installed Admin Center, 6.2.2, on a Windows 2008 VM. It uses IE8. I can get data about sessions, processes and activity log from the server properties selections but when I try it...

Well, a node failure should not have an impact if the zoning is correct. An IO Group has 2 nodes so, if you've zoned the server to each of the nodes of an IO group, one of the nodes going down...

and something to consider as well, if you send tapes offsite because they are in a "mountable" state, regardless of their use - a tape that's only 10% used for instance, will most likely be reclaimed...

I have had a similar problem but with a 3494 library; I would have tapes become empty but were in a read-only status. When I updated them to readwrite access, they would delete from the storage pool...

I'd strongly recommed not updating access back to "readwr" until after you do an "audit vol xxxxxx fix=yes" and check for a successful completion of that. You could end up trying to restore a file...

PICAY, this script worked very well for my 3494 library - thanks!

Yeah - unfortunately. A server admin got the request to restore a folder and let it sit for a few days. The person asking got impatient and decided to take matters into her own hands and re-create...

I have 180 days in my policy set for inactive file retention. If someone adds a directory of the same name back to the server, they are sol when it comes to restoring anything from the inactive...

The remote site is about 7 miles from the data center. Last night, it pushed about half the data in about a third of the time - 47g in 3hr 22 min. The backup starts at 12:15AM so there's not anyone...

I've been admin'ing TSM for a few years now....so don't think this is mine:

"good question - can the admin establish something in Tivoli to multi channel the backup through a common link?"

Can...

I am one who dissed ISC in a big way. I am running it on one TSM and the Web GUI on another and command line only on a third. I have 6.0.1 in since it now has the disaster recovery manager in it...

If you have TSM Operational Reporting installed (it comes with the Admin Center) you would get this daily or however often you wanted to run it for each TSM server you wanted to analyze:

I'm into the ISC enough now that I am using the command line on a fairly regular basis. It has some preferable features like showing you the most current stuff first and the search field at the...

Hmmm. I am at the following levels:

Integrated Solutions Console 6.0.1

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager - Administration Center 5.3.3.0

I set the timeout parameter to 4 hours but it didn't...

I kept the Web GUI as a crutch when we went to 5.3. Even though they said it wouldn't work, it was a lot easier to use to add new nodes, look for tape history, all that stuff. After catching myself...

Is anyone seeing increasing problems with Windows 2003 servers backups failing because the journal service crashes? We have made no changes( famous last words) but more servers seem to be having...

I was afraid that was going to be the answer! Thanks...I think!

The fact that the CE "paused" the library to get to the drive from the front door make any difference? I don't know a whole lot...

I had a 3590 drive in an ATL eat an onsite tape. The CE pried it out with a crow bar :-o and it is physically not in the unit. I called back the offsite tapes needed to "RESTORE" this volume and...

Couldn't find this in the documentation anywhere but I discovered during several runs one day that each run of this command checks tapes in "vault retrieve" status. If there are already more tapes...

Thanks! I did that but I still have 5 tapes that show as having 99.9% reclaimable space but they did not reclaim. I tried to do a "Query CONTENT Cxxxxx" but TSM says

I have had trouble with my AIX 5.2 TSM 5.3 reclaims with update so I have switched to the command- RECLAIM STG poolname threshold=75 offsitereclaimlimit=15 duration=360

I recently had a restore request and found out the file was last backed up when the server was first installed (before I was here). The issue turned out to be a missing domain statement for the...

For once, I was way ahead of you. I changed them all to MAXPR=1 but I still get the same message. It also appears some run parallel but then run serially. I haven't identified the exact point it...

OK. One more question. I am getting a warning (ANR0115W) when the script starts that I have exceeded the allowable number of parallel commands - 16. I have 13 pool backups with error checking...

Man, that makes me a happy camper! That's exactly what I need. I love the way that one got slipped in with 5.3? It's not in my 5.1 manual at all. Thanks for the help.

I realize that the "WAIT=YES" is causing single threading but what happens to error checking each backup without it? If a return code comes back to the script, how does it know which backup it is...

I have both 3590 & 3592 drives in an ATL. My storage pool backup script was setup when there was only 3590's. How do I get the backups to run concurrently but still check for successful completions...

Yes, I have segmented tape paths and library paths; I'm using two seperate device classes. I was afraid the tapes were not checking back in but it gave successful messages yesterday (ANR8430I) and...

I have added a Jaguar library and I added another checkin statement to the daily checkin script but I seem to have Jaguar tapes ejecting for no reason.
