This just happened to me when upgrading a 2003 client with no SP from 6.2.1.0 to 6.3.1.0.

Not sure where to go from here other than uninstalling TSM completely and rolling back to 6.2.1.0.

What version of Windows is the client and what level is the BAC?

Hey all,

Still trying to clean up an environment which I inherited a year ago. We use DRM and I have noticed that tapes are not being consistently called back from our offsite location. Tapes will...

You're right. I'm still finding a lot of strange TSM behavior due to my predecessors.

Turns out that you need to install BAC 6.4 in order to use TDP 6.4.

Hello all,

I recently saw that TDP 5.5 will no longer be supported as of April 2014 so I thought I would get a head start and begin testing 6.4. The installation was successful but when I go to...

This is exactly what I'm doing.

In 5.2 they introduced a new feature to convert a pool to an "MTree Pool." I'm guessing that this feature still acts like a tape library but changes the back-end structure of the pool.

I think it...

80 MB/s sounds pretty good over a 1Gb interface.

I ran into a very severe performance problem after installing Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. We went from 11 to 12 and I noticed a dramatic...

Thanks for the reply. Level 2 support ended up sending me an updated TSM_Server.xml which only installed the DB2 component. It was very odd.. The server code upgraded to 6.3.3.0 but the DB2 code was...

Same issue just happened to me going from 6.2.4 to 6.3.3. How did you end up resolving this?

Hey moon-buddy,

We're about to do the exact same thing within a few months. What do you do in terms of recovery? Do you have a second VTL setup at the target site for the replicated tapes in the...

I recommend TSM Studio - http://www.spiritsoftware.biz/tsm-studio/

It's relatively cheap and it gets the job done. There's a ton of great monitoring tools, reporting, and trend analysis. Plus,...

Hello all,

I have been trying to figure out a way to export a SQL backup to a FILE devclass and then import to another FILE devlcass but I keep running into a wall. We typically export data to a...

I really hate bringing back dead threads but I had the same issue for a few weeks now and it's been bugging me. I saw that a STGPOOL backup was hung and sitting on a VTL volume for over 16,000...

Hello all,

Has anyone recently converted VTL pools into MTree's? I am curious how this migration was and what kind of configurations were made in TSM to switch over from a VTL to MTree's. I'm...

Running into the same exact problem... Same errors and all. Haven't seen this before when installing TSM.

I'm logged in with the instance ID, I'm a local admin, in the DB2ADMINS and DB2USERS...

If I understand your question correctly, you would need to restore the folder/data from the specific dates (assuming it was already backed up and can be restored) and then back it up again... Not...

The account used needs to have the Organization Management role in Exchange. If that's not your problem, make sure your CAD and Remote Agent service is setup properly and your proxy is configured as...

Couldn't you just add an EXCLUDE for the specific files to the dsm.opt file if you know you don't want that file backed up?

We're running a POC in two weeks so I'll let everyone know how it went.

Hi Rob,

I followed this link and I had backups running in our 2010 DAG environment in no time:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21433016

It requires a little bit of tweaking...

Use this to get total backup size:

SELECT activity, cast(float(sum(bytes))/1024/1024/1024 as dec(8,2)) as "GB" FROM summary WHERE activity<>'TAPEMOUNT' AND activity<>'EXPIRATION' AND...

After seeing an in-depth demo, I honestly don't see any cons. However, Simpana is software-only and does not rely a specific set of hardware unlike it's competitor, Avamar. This is a con to some...

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but, this happened to me recently in our Exchange 2010 environment. I believe this was fixed in BA client 6.2.4.0 so I applied the update and then manually cleared...

Thanks, Chad.

I think I'll check them out using checkout libvol library volrange=<> remove=bulk checkl=yes force=yes and then check in private tapes following scratch.

The document which IBM provided is exactly what I would do. Do you have any error messages which you can post?

I would say yes - that is a good method to go by if you're trying to judge the daily amount of data replicated. Don't forget that the initial seeding process is going to be the total amount of data...

My concern is that it is trying to relabel a volume which is already using that barcode. It never did this in the past so I'm trying to figure out what it was that started this.

It's not something...

I was forced to lower the slot count of our Data Domain due to a compatibility issue with server code 6.2.3. Once I resolved the issue, I began seeing these errors during the relabel process:

The questions you are asking depend on the type of TSM environment which you are running. I'll use my my environment as an example:

- Primary storage pools are located on a Data Domain configured...

Excellent.

What's the maximum capacity and mount limit recommendation for the FILE devclass to backup the the TSM database? Our DB is roughyl 70 GB.

Are there any major changes that you made to TSM other than where the database is backed up to? I.E. storage pool configurations, device class, etc.

I read that the TSM DB should be backed up to a...

We have two Data Domain's configured as VTL's in two separate locations and are about to implement bi-directional replication. We currently use the Data Domain as the primary storage pool and then...

Awesome, that's what I figured. I was hesitant to spend money if it wasn't really going to resolve any issues.

I've also read that BUFPOOLSIZE isn't relevant to 6.2? Should I configure the...

Hello,

I'm currently running 6.2.4 on a Windows 2008 R2 x64 platform with 32GB of RAM. I have noticed some errors in the DB2 Health Center regarding Database Heap Utilization and contacted DB2...

I've seen this question raised a few times on here but I have never seen a good response to the question.

We currently have one TSM server and are looking to add an additional second physical TSM...

Also unable to audit the library.

Now to add to my confusion, when I check in the volume I get ANR8432E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Volume XXXXXXX is already present in library XXXXXX.

The volume shows up when I run Q LIBVOL <LIB NAME> and...

I have been having some issues when checking in a cartridge.

I ran SHOW SLOTS <LIBVOL> and noticed that the slot assigned to the volume come back with these results:

Odd... I logged into the web GUI of the 3584 and noticed that these elements are missing along with a few others.

I have not.

Should I check out the volumes in a specific way?

Hi all,

I just tried to audit our tape library and received a few errors in the process:

Step 6 and step 7 is where I'm confused.

I wasn't at this company when the VTL was implemented so I have very little experience configuring VTL's. Am I essentially checking in the virtual tapes as...

So I have the steps to configure the slot count and all of the steps up to reconfiguring the VTL in TSM. Is it best to delete the library from TSM and then re-add it?
