Now I am confused.
I know how "progressive" or "Always Incremental" backup works with files, in TSM.
What I am asking here is new way of TSM for VE incremental image backup.
I really did it - make...

Hm, I am not sure that I understand quite well help from information center about incremental forever policy settings:

Example of version control with the verexists parameter

I believe that you are doing backup of file systems that belongs to some kind of content management solution. Usually those solutions have some recommended way to backup them.
I have one case where...

It might be OK, it grows since there is a number of new files backed up - load on server grows.
If this is your case, you can simply ad more database volumes, and extend your TSM database manually,...

You should execute mailbox restore logged to windows as an Exchange administrator. Is this your case?
Where are you restoring mailbox to? (original location, alternative mailbox, pst file)

Try your existing scripts, just remove "/backupmethod=LEGACY"

Since there is no legacy method any more, you do not need /backupmethod switch.
You need to set few things between BA client and TDP, since actually BA does the VSS, so it must be granted proxy...

Forget it, it was my mistake. I should go back to primary school, first grade.

I was helping to a customer in TSM 5.5 to 6.3 migration.
What I have found during preparation is that there is more data stored in copy pool (they have just one) than in all of primary pools...

what TDP you are using (what are you backuping)?
What command you use to do it?

I agree with moon-buddy, looks like mismatch in firmware/driver version. Try newer tape driver.

Well, it will actually work with server 5.5, at least basic functions - database restore, legacy database backup.
It is not supported, and maybe some functions does not work. What I have tried - it...

Is it a MS Cluster or SQL Log shipping?

I have seen several performance issues with newer AIX and newer TSM clients for AIX (6.x) lately, especially with TSM server on windows. TCPWINDOWSIZE 512 on server side (looks like it does not...

You can import backupset on another tsm server, generate TOC and restore (file level) it from there. Never tried this, but should be possible.

Yep, I am not sure how should one combine these new features in order to get some nodes data replicated to dr site, but to utilize dedup feature to reduce traffic over wan link. Anyone has idea?

Yes, it has been updated. Update your Exchange servers to latest fix pack, and TDP for Exchange, and it will work, you just need to set parameter in TDP GUI what CAS server to use.
It works, I...

maybe first db2 connect to databasename

You do not store data on proxy with VADP, data just flows trough.
Yes, LAN-free is possible if proxy (you don't call it proxy any more, but nevermind) is physical server with SAN connection to...

You can check dsmerror.log, dsierror.log, dsmsched.log, or make your script create output into text file while executing, so check what is going on.

It might be that your scheduler (dsmc schedule or dsmcad) runs as root, and when you are running manually you do it as oracle user.
You may need to modify your scripts to su to oracle before rman...

give us "q stg" output

what is the action for the schedule defined on the TSM server?

Newer SQL and newer TSM for databases will work.

If I have TSM server installed on windows machine, is it possible to install Data Protection for VMware client on the same machine?
If possible, what do you think about that setup, in small/medium...

does any other server access library?
is it SAN attached library?
Have you make any changes recently regarding drivers or library/drives firmware?

Hi,
I am having trouble with one oracle server. Everything looks pretty much the same like others, but when I allocate channel sbt_tape with propper tdpo.opt it gets released immediately, so no...

I've read on VMware that you should not have machine snapshots in moment when creating CBT.
Are there snapshost of your virtual center?

Vmware tools installed/up to date under virtual machine?

Hi,
Yes, thank you, this will help.
Funny thing, I have opened a PMR with IBM on the issue, and have solved problem in a harder way:
You set (according to IBM support) data sources for BIRT...

Does anyone know how to set data source for BIRT and/or Cognos reports in TSM Monitoring and Reporting v6.3?
It was possible to do it trough TIP in previous versions (6.2.x), but not any more, at...

Maybe scheduler service running under account that has no rights for exchange?

Right, it will work with Firefox 3.something.
Unfortunately, recent Firefox version is 8, and since 5 I think it updates itself pretty much by itself. So, it is not solution to tell to people "use...

Just playing a bit with TIP 6.3 at the moment.
I have found that it is dead slow in internet explorer, and most things do not work in newer Firefox or Chrome - eg. Dropdown list won't drop down....

Yep, you're right once again. it is still there, just no shortcut. I guess it will be dropped in some of next releases.

Thornmn,

Yes, that does the trick, thank you a lot!!!!
Just one more question: You say "both the TDPEXEC GUI and in the FlashCopyManager"
Since I have upgraded, I do not have TDPEXC GUI like it...

Nope, haven't made any progress on the subject. I am not in a rush to upgrade, I will stick with older product for some time more, probably until 6.3.1 or so.
Haven't tried redirected restore...

Hi,
I am playing a bit with new TSM TDP for Exchange 6.3 and FlashCopy 3.1 on demo environment, Exchange 2010 SP1
I have upgradet it from TSM BA 6.2.2 and TDP 6.1.3.1, to TSM BA 6.3 and TDP 6.3...

Well, it depends.
Newer versions are going to rely on new reporting, so one point in time you will have to start playing with that.
As I read in some presentation about TSM 6.3 which is just about...

Yep, seen that, just pointed that it should be enough, no other settings needed for proxy on client side.
Glad to hear you are up and running now with your TDP.

Regards,

Your BA client looks pretty new.
You set proxy trough tdpexc.cfg option
LOCALDSMAgentnode EXCH_BA, and it looks ok. Usually, if you don't set it up correctly you got an error when trying to do...

I understand that, but I am interested in exact command.
Nevermind. What is the version of BA client that is used as proxy? Check if you can update it, I have seen it helping.

what is the command that you have executed?

...And where is the error?

I think that q dbspace will give usage of volumes where database tablespaces resides, no matter if db2 use them or something else. So, q dbspace on windows will give you simply information about how...
