Sounds like we are dealing with BLOB files here. Moon-buddy, can he really restore the solaris data from a VxFS file system to an AIX JFS2 file system? I think that I would set up the new AIX box and...

I had a customer that lost data and it took 18 months to get everything back on HSM. Of course if you work around the clock you could do it in a year.

Ouch, that has to hurt. That is a lot of data to bring back and then migrate out again.

As the article says, the file systems must be the same. Now you could check out using VxFS for AIX and see if that will work. I would call IBM and ask them if there is a migration path between...

Give us the commands you are running so we can see what is going on. Also any errors from the actlog.

I could be wrong, but the move media works with a sequential pool. When you set up the pool you can specify an overflow location. I don't think you need to define the overflow location as a storage...

Personally I was hoping IBM would keep V5.5.x around for the smaller customers out there. I have quite a few of them and they do not want to have to upgrade their TSM server and especially when the...

First you should use a utility like SANSURFER or which ever one is compatible with your fibre card and set persistence on for the tape drives. Second, if this is a non-IBM tape library you may have...

If you are putting this on a global LPAR on solaris, then there could be issues. If you have it on a separate LPAR you would be ok as long as the LPAR is not global. The point really is that the...

My understanding is you cannot run a Storage Agent on a TSM Server.

Try something like this in a CMD or BAT file:

cd c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient

dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "q sys" > c:\tmp\q_sys1.txt

Thanks for the input. What happened was the original backupset was created without a TOC. After the fact we ran a generat backupsetTOC to create the table of contents. Stuff was missing. So I had the...

I have a customer that ran a backupset last week for a file server. When you log on to the client to do a restore of some files it is obvious that certain directories are missing from the backupset....

I was also contacted by STORServ and provided info a while back. They have not contacted me since the first two notes. Maybe just a head hunter looking for contacts.

Yes you can run the Admin Centre on a VM. It needs memory but otherwise it runs ok.

What is the test number? I need to upgrade my implementation cert to V6.3

How much memory do you have in the box

The GUI is still there, but you have to look for it. The plug-in for the MMC is useful but look in the ~tivoli/tsm/TDPExchange directory and you should see the GUI.

I know what you mean. I have a least a half dozen customers that are NOT going to RENEW their TSM License. In some cases it makes sense but in others, there is just too much cost. It is insane and...

Thanks, that is what I thought. It has been a while since I installed that type of library.

I should have mentioned this is running on Windows 2003. It is a small installation running previously with ONE tape drive. When I set it up originally I told them they needed two tape drives so that...

I have a customer that just purchased a new tape library (Quantum I think) and they need me to install and configure the library. Now I know that there are HP LTO5 drives in the library and I will...

Check the matrix and your TSM Server Version. Make sure they fit.

You could try this: select * from backups where node_name='Node_Name' and ll_name='file_name.wav' Change the file_name to the name of the file you want to restore and the Node_name to the node...

You could try using the restore volume vol_name preview=yes and then check the actlog for the volumes required. You will probably have to mark the volume to be restored as destroyed first.

Check to see if the drives are online and the paths are available. If that is ok, try resetting the library. I suggest you take the TSM service down and then power off the library and then back on...

I understand. It is too bad that forum software has caused such a change and as Harry notes, you keep seeing multiple posts instead of a proper thread. Thanks again for the explanation.

I am not liking the new setup of ADSM.ORG too much. I see duplicated posts and was wondering why the change?

What Chad says about compression is very true. TO add to that if you use Encryption, it will also cause issues with Dedupe. We are currently seeing this on a protectier and dedupe is just plain not...

Well it appears my reading abilities are in the tank. Below is the section of the manual that surprises me after all these years. I was not aware of this:

When there is insufficient space...

What is the version of your TSM Server? Be explicit.

The CAD is the client acceptor daemon. Using the GUI from the BAC you can configure it along with the scheduler using the OPT file for the Data mover (DM1). Do a query proxy and post it for me.

Have you configured the CAD to be running when you put in the TSM BAC? Also which nodes are virtual and which one is the real one? The real node is the DataMover.

They are keeping 70 copies (yeah I know, why) for 2555 days. Everything is set that way, so it is small wonder they are blowing out the VTL. It is mainly DBs that are taking up the space and I have...

Well there are no errors in the actlog. It just says there is nothing to migrate as the MIGDELAY is set to 30 as defined by the customer. The errors I do see are when the VTL is full and backups stop...

The TSM Server is at V6.2.4.0 and the maxscratch for the Tape_Pool is set to 9999. The VTL has 63 drives defined and about 1800 volumes. I don't think it is a config problem, although it is possible...

I have a customer with a VTL. There are lots of volumes there but they managed to fill the VTL. When I set this up, I put in a Tape_Pool and defined this as the NextStoragePool for the VTL storage...

Here is on link for requirements. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21611903 As for the redbook, it is for V6.3. I do not know if there is one yet for V6.4. Actually it may just be...

There are multiple places you can install TSM4VE. I put it on the VCenter at my last customer and ran schedules from the FCM GUI. V6.4 will be better. Do you have the RedBook for TSM4VE? It is very...

Check this page for details on the TSM Server. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21567566#Additional%20hardware%20and%20software

In short it says V6.1.3.x of the TSM server is...

The FCM plugin for the MMC can schedule backups. However this scheduler is the windows scheduler and I believe they also offer monthly. The only other way would be to use the TSM Scheduler and setup...

Ok support for LTO5 drives requires the TSM Server to be at V5.5.4.0 or above. I suggest that you go to V5.5.4.2 as it is a little more stable, or go to the V5.5.5.x.

Hard to tell right now. I would suspect your network connection as the transfer rate is so poor. But it is impossible to tell without a lot of details. For example are the connections through GB...

You have to admit that this is a pretty poor transfer rate for the backup. It works out to around 154 GB per day.
