You can migrate the data to another pool or use the move data/move nodedata command to move the data to other media.

EMC explicity states NO compression should be used on data before it is sent to the Data Domain. It plays havoc with your block level analysis and will defeat the purpose of the DD since it cannot...

You could do an image backup, then when restores are needed restore the image to a file and then extract the file using software that reads image files and will let you traverse it and fine the file...

So the process is not moving? What happens if you try to cancel the process. Does it hang out there forever?

Anyone have experience gathering specific include/excludes from each node and compiling it into a list? Trying to pull specifics out of the DB is impossible, so what are the other options when a...

Yeah I figured that when I couldn't get a search result from GOOGLE when searching DB2 MEAN FUNCTION. Thanks for confirming it.

I am converting a script from TSM 5.5 to TSM 6.2 and it appears TSM v6 does not like the MEAN function. The following select works on TSM v5 but not 6. Is there something I need to modify to get it...

Write errors don't reset, and if the audit finds no bad data then the write error was more than likely drive related and not tape. You can ignore the write error and continue to use it.

It comes down to settings used for the DSMI environmental variables. You either would need to change the DSMI_CONFIG value to point to another opt or run each backup as a different Linux user with...

If you want it by backup session then the following works on both versions. I tested these on TSM 5 & TSM 6

By Date
--------
SELECT ENTITY as NODE_NAME, DATE(START_TIME) as DATE,...

You need to download the base 6.3 from passport to get the 6.3 license files. With any TSM upgrade or install you always need to install the base filesets then install the sublevel updates.

Not sure what you mean by mixed the copy for the tapes of two months. What process are you talking about? Do you mean the backup to the copypool?

To be honest I have never tried to do a ODBC connection since going to TSM 6.x. I prefer to dump my data to a comma-delimited file then import it.

Might be easier to upgrade TSM on the old server to 6.3.3 then import the VG's on the new hardware. Restoring a DB can be a real pain, and if hostname and IP's are being migrated....

The only way you could turn backups into archives would be to perform PIT backupsets and to be honest that is just a pain to deal with. Be warned data be archived as you are asking will make TSM...

More than likely you have drive compression activated in the devclass used for the copypool so what will happen is that TSM will "rehydrate" the data to tape and then the tape drive will compress the...

Hmmm....never tried it. I guess you could, but whether IBM allows it is interesting. I would think they do since the script processing is quite dumb. Let us know if you try it?

Why are they saying they can only take a 2hr outage? That's absurd. If a company relies that heavily on the TSM environment they are in big trouble. They need to allow for common maintenance and...

You might want to use the ALIASHALT server option. I would never want to have HALT in a script.

Just make sure you use the CHECKALIASHALT when running the admin command line function.

Can't without a serious issue or change ticket. The TSM server was allowed to grow to 400GB (before I got here) and its not one we like to mess with until I can move the clients to a new 6.2 server.

I am trying to delete a disk volume that is corrupt (it's offline in TSM and already removed from the server on the OS side). The problem is that when we run a delete volume command we get the...

Dedupe works well on many DB's, I've seen 3:1 and as high as 8:1. It all depending on the DB data type and make sure you DO NOT use compression on the backup, it will cause untold problems with...

Sounds like you either need additional frames or need to switch to a disk based dedupe solution.

You might want to convert the scheduled backup to a scheduled command script to allow for some FS availability checking before it executes the backup of a particular GPFS.

There are multiple tools available. I have a list on my website, and I'm sure you've seen the ads here on ADSM.org. Everyone I've seen does reporting to a greater or lesser degree, it depends on what...

Unless TSM has domain rights it wont be able to see those mapped drives or any drive with DOMAIN level permissions unless granted through AD.

The recommended setup is to use the FILE devclass. I'd rather have one lost 100GB file than a whole storage pool become corrupted due to write issues depending on how you setup your diskpools.

Yep Moon-Buddy is correct, an audit works better.

Interesting question:

One Friday way back in early 2001-2002 we had a user CHMOD all the files and folders in the home directory. We were alerted to the problem Monday (after 3 nights of backups...

Ah, missed the 30 day MIGDELAY....what's the retention settings? If retention settings are less than 30 days than nothing will ever reach the migration time threshold, so nothing will migrate.

What is the exact errors in the TSM Actlog when you run the migrate stg command againts the VTL pool? Paste them here.

Moon buddy is correct, but....their are disclaimers. If you try to take an image of the drive containing the OS you need a bootable OS capable of running a TSM restore. For Windows it usually...

I've used disk and FILE devclass using scratch. Why you would predefine is beyond me, but to each their own. Of course my FILE devclass was to a Data Domain NFS mounted file systems that perform...

Its more than likely a configuration issue. You might have missed a setting that is causing the issue. What is the MAXSCRATCH setting for the TAPE_POOL?

You have three options
1. Upgrade over LAN
2. Upgrade using tape media (extract/insert method)
3. Start from scratch and migrate all clients to new server

The first two are discussed in the...

Try backing up the data as a Windows share then restoring some files to see if it will work, but you would be better off backing it up through Mac OS or a Linux VM.

Are you using a point in time or just restore of most current backup? The restore is LAN-Free right? I do know there are known LAN-Free restore issues with certain Storage Agent versions.

I would create a script to reset the TDP's password....to the exact same password as already in use. Remember TSM does not track previously used passwords so you can reuse the same password and...

This happened to me and we created a dummy file for the one missing. It's a known issue and if you search the error MS states the easiest way to fix it is to create a dummy file in the location...

Check your settings. What does the DOMAIN option state (if it's even listed)? Check the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE list also.

Rich,

What topics have been covered before? I've never been to Pulse so not familiar with what has been presented in the past.

That's weird. That's a z/OS command. You should not be seeing that. Check and make sure the tapes drives are pathed correctly. I usually see issues where the drive on the STA is defined to the wrong...

If the data was backup and the client later moved to a the DEFAULT management class then the 7YEAR data should have been rebound to default. Is the data stored as a backup or archive?

Use the -pitd and -pitt option to restore the archived file from a specific day/date.

This might work:

1. Query the DAY_FILE schedules associated nodes and make not of them (in other words write it down)

2. Create a new schedule called DAILY_FILE (or whatever you like) and...
