There are probably not that many files belonging to the node in question.

You could try to list them, and see if they are there at all. If you have other data within the same node, this may take...

Hi,

You could have volumes with damaged files.

For all stgpools related stgpools, type this


show damaged <stgpoolname>

If anything is wrong, it will tell you which files and volumes you...

The server will eventually use the new space. There is (atleast was) no quick way to spread the usage. Only way I know is to wait, or do a backup db and restore db (using all the new directories).

Hi,

If you can afford the downtime, patch your server to latest 6.2 release.

Hi,

You have to add it manually, and restart your tsm server.

TCPWindowsize 0

If I read you correctly, your tsm server is running ion redhat.

TSM is not good at handling TCP Window size on linux. In dsmserv.opt insert a line 'tcpwindowsize 0', that wil make tsm use the os...

Do you run dedup? This can be a real db space consumer. I had a pmr for this, and you may want to upgrade to lates version of 6.2 series. There are commands that can release db space to disk.

Just try to search

Hi,

To find the errors, just put them (ANR0172I and ANR0162W) into google.

Look at logs like db2diag.log and dsmserv.err

Another place to look for errors is the systems message.log

Hi,

Mine is called 1-01 and 1-02 within the TS3500. In tsm, these are called ts3500 and PCIDSS.
I have not seen anything wrong from these names.

Hi,

My settings are for an enviroment where there tsm server is runnin redhat 6 and tsm server 6.2.x.x

Hi,
Please post dsm.opt and tdpsql.cfg

There is a lot of tweaking you can do.

No.

For LTO6, you must be at 6.2.5 or higher.

Hi,

Just a little tip to get more IO from your system. If you have a raid subsystem or san, you can benefit a lot by setting the right scheduler for your disk queue.

Hi,

Look up the commands:

help define dom
help define pol
help define mg
help define copy

Then, you need to modify these to your needs,

Hi.

I think you need to run inventory on your tape library. Once that is done, stop all processes that has a tape mount in use and audit your library.

audit libra LIB_TS3100 checklabel=barcode

This works for me. Watch out for SQLBu*, they will consume a lot of memory.

If you have high latency (> 6ms) between your clients and tsm server, have a look at TCPWindowsize in dsmserv.opt (Setting it to 0 helped alot in my enviroment). You will find the same setting in...

In /etc/udev/rules.d create a file called 99-lin_tape.rules

The 3584 has a console where vital product data can be displayed. It may also have a web interface where you may find it. I also think you can find it in 'device manager' from your windows server.

Hi,

type 'q drive f=d'. Then read the values from drive format. The highest value is your station type.

ultrium4 = LTO4

I hope you got copy pools, otherwise these data is lost.

Otherwise:
Look up 'help del vol'

Hi,
Has done this several times. Keep in mind that deletion is also moving of data. Be patient, and delete db volumes during times with low db trafic.

This is valid for tsm v5

I think your are stuck between a rock and a mountain. excludedb came on a later release.

If your number of db's are low, then

tdpsqlc backup db1,db2...dbX full

is probably the only choice,...

You need to use tdpsqlc backup * full /excludedb=DBName

Using VSS is the correct way. Then the sql server will make sure you have a consisten copy. Using the ordinary TSM BA client will not use the SQL VSS writer. TDPSQL can use the SQL VSS writer to...

Both disk devclass and predefined fileclass

You can only have one DB backup on each tape.

To delete all db backups quickly, type this

You can make a server group called ALL. You need to enable server to server comminication for this to work

Then you can issue a command like all:select * from occupancy

Total SQL backups attempted: 3

A indication is to look at the CLI when running tdpsqlc backup * full. The figure you see there is Mbytes/sec transferred out from SQL. Then look at TaskManager (network). The speed you see there...

If you have the possibility, you can start multiple threads from the client.

If this is the first backup, and you do not have client compression enabled, then this is true.
