You have the option of a small Avamar instance on a VM, but its not something EMC really pushes. Avamar on its own grid and DD back end is where its at. After the initial backup, clients are...

Ok great, thanks! Looks pretty similar to our standard unix inclexcl.

appreciate the quick response...

Does anyone have a sample or base inclexcl for linux (redhat) they would be willing to share. We're getting a gaggle of new servers and I don't have much of a cheat sheet for linux.


Thanks in...

We're doing NFS with ours. The VTL requires a different head and additional cost all to mimic older technology. There's less overhead and I'd assume the "best practice" for NFS is so anything can...

I like TDP for granularity and ease of backups/restores as well as maintaining versions. One touch service at your finger tips. We also do sql flat file dumps and back them up under the BA client,...

Keep in mind if you are doing archives you are going to see a huge amount of bloat on the TSM DB. You may be better off running incrementals on the data with longer retention periods. Food for...

Thanks Chad. I didn't give that any consideration at all!

We have a few monster servers that will be hosting a few different flavors of databases, are there any known issues with running two flavors of TDP on the same server?

Anything in the error logs? Can you post your .sys/.opt files?

You can run a copy or migration on the storage pools the day after the monthlys run (technically you can do it daily, if nothing is there it won't have an impact on anything until data exists in the...

Thanks Harry! As far as your "A" and "B" I was hoping that was the case after reading the sticky in the DB2 section. I guess I should have read that first!

Thanks again!

Can anyone tell me how I'll need to license several physical boxes each with multiple partitions of DB2 (DPF)?

Can we get away with just having TDP for DB2 licensed on each physical or do we need...

I'm running it through the GUI, not doing it command line, however its essentially the same as that command aside from the "replace" as the restore is going to a new instance and there is no database...

The communication errors are obvious, I'd check out passwords and connectivity, etc. Verify in the TDP GUI (under utilities) show TSM server info and make sure thats all correct information. The...

If its only for a short time you can set up server to server communication and share that stuff. If you are using TSM Manager you can swap policies,schedule definitions, etc over via the GUI and you...

we had a similar issue...I believe (as much as I hate to say it) it was the version of the client we were running and we had to down grade to 6.1.0, I'll recheck my notes and shoot you another reply....

That link might help...personally I think you should try to leave it on Unix. ...

Are you trying to start it from the command line (in the foreground) and then typing exit or whatever to get out of that window rather than letting Windows start the service on its own?

Not within the command itself. You can process the txt file with a perl script to rip out the stuff you dont want and format it in a more readable fashion

Is this some type of test question? Google TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager)

http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?20245-Restoring-SQL-DB-to-Another-Server&highlight=command+line+restore

That should help point you in the right direction.

I think Chad misread the title.

If you want to restore DB1 from SQL ServerA to SQL ServerB the best way I've found is as follows:

1. On ServerA stop all services TSM related.
2. Copy the...

Also remember in many cases "failed" backups are backups that ran successfully with some type of error causing it to error out. Rerunning these will really only chew up your "backup" window and give...

I've tried everything. For whatever reason 6.x will not read anything in the opt file (as the default dsm.opt file name or anything else we've tried naming it).

I've got a PMR out on this. I...

I've noticed that if Tivoli is on your resume you get pinged for TSM, TIM, TAM and anything else in between. I don't think they read the resumes at all, nor do they have an idea what they're reading...

right the dsmutil command was how I found it it wasnt using the OPT file. Comm Server and port as well as sched and error log all have values different from the dsm.opt file. And a dsmcutil update...

So recently we did an upgrade from 5.5 to 6.2 client on w2k3 clients. What we've noticed was first the app is a nightmare. Second, the set up wizard seems to ignore a predefined dsm.opt file with...

Also make sure you have the tcpserver name/ip entered correctly. The client is having trouble getting to the TSM server (tcp/ip connection failure).

Often the hosts (vmdk files) are backed up and restored for which ever sessions is necessary. It's quicker to build a VM than to restore one thats been spread across 10+ tapes.

Whats your dsm.sys/opt look like? Are you doing the backup command line or GUI, if CL whats the command you are running?

Greg, try relocate and restore into and click on the fields to edit them to the path of the new directory. You may also need to set the DB into single user mode for the restore.

You can change the randomization for the schedules or split the 40 in to 2 schedules of 20 a few hours apart.

Set RANDomize percent

ie: set randomize 50

Just curious...do you have the syntax you used to do the database restore at the DR site?

Resourceutilization 10 seems REALLY high and TSM is only going to use as many sessions as it needs. Rule of thumb is usually around 4. What are your parameters for transaction sizes/tcp buffer...

For a more graphical view you can use the Operational Reporting and have it auto generated to provide the same results.

q event * * type=c begindate=-1 enddate=today exception=no

you can also check the help for q event [tsm:> h q event] and put in time frames so you are not overlapping results. (ie. q event * *...

Have you tried setting the domain statement to just the c:?

domain C:

just to see what happens there?

q sched * f=d will do the trick too (for all of them)

The cad and tsm client scheduler are both running under local system?

AIX. IMO anything can be taken from there and applied to Windoze.

Was one of the databases offline?
