OK,

I'm in the process of building a few TSM 6.3.3 servers on AIX 7.1.

My first instance works perfectly, but the second instance won't backup the database when dsmserv has been automatically...

Using the IBM tape device driver you should enable control path failover for multiple control paths to a single tape library. The second path becomes an alternate path to the library. Then you only...

I think you're better to just set the nextstgpool on each 3590 pool to an existing or new 3952 pool. Then to manage drive resources, setup a daily admin schedule to migrate the 3590 pools for a set...

(As long as you've written no data to it <LOL>) ... Can't you just checkout the volume with the remove=no switch? So the volume will no longer be part of the virtual library but it's still in the...

Quite a few votes, not much discussion though... I'm interested in also knowing whether the size of your organisation determins your choice ... ie are most of you coming from larger organisations >...

ivarson ... be careful of this process and I believe the real answer to your question is NO.

Once you move the files, you will effectively be creating 2 files spaces for the same data under the...

PS. The above only applies to client backup objects. If the client object is an ARCHIVE object, then the object will expire from TSM x days (as specified by the bound management class) even if the...

All active files for the client will remain in TSM for ever. That is, data retention is only applied to innactive client files. A client file becomes innactive once another copy of the same file is...

If the TSM clients scheduling mode (specified in their dsm.opt / dsm.sys) is prompted, that is the TSM server needs to prompt the clients to start a backup schedule, then make sure you logon to the...

You can be selective about which directories and/or files go to a tape management class by adding an 'include' statement that specifies the directories that need to go to a different tape management...

We have a TSM 5.5 environment which runs a seperate management classes and storage pool structures for client backed up directory objects vs files objects (this is managed via the client-side dirmc...

Additionally, to my post above ... if all of the servers have been zoned into the DD610 and have the device drivers installed for the VTL emulation, then you could install lan-free storage agents on...

I'm not 100% familiar with the DD610 product as we're a total IBM shop here and use the Protectier VTL. But if the DD610 has the software running VTL emulation then effectively it's a tape library,...

Yeah, I reckon the best way to tackle this, would be to make the development TSM server a library client of the Production TSM server and run a common scratch pool for all tape library clients to...

As this poll ( http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?12365 ) is now four years old and TSM v6.3 now drops supports for native zOS and 32 bit operating systems, I'd like to hear from those planning to...

Have many people installed TSM 6.x on zLinux and how are they getting on? We need to consider Redhat zLinux on our z10 as a viable platform for our new TSM 6.3 build.

Are you concerned about multiple TSM servers communicating to each other cross-site, or clients being able to communicate to the TSM server cross-site?

We're still on TSM 5.5 (soon to migrate to 6.3) and have approximately 1PB of managed data, of which around 600TB is primary data. We also don't use the TSM dedupe feature to reduce the cost of per...

Not sure where to post this, but I'd like to keep up to date on some adsm.org threads from my android phone and use 'tapatalk' for quite a few of the other forums I subscribe to.

Can/will adsm.org...

Yes .... do a 'q dirspace' to confirm. 49 scratch used @ 10GB each ... 490GB roughly ... are you sure there's 2TB in the storage pool destination?

Hey MoonBuddy ... that's definately our #1 gripe ... We currently have a highly available Windows 64bit MSCS, which becomes highly unavailable during a tape firmware upgrade as not only do we vary...

Check the maxscratch setting on your 'fake' copy storage pool and any reuse delay settings. I assume you are doing your normal inventory expiry still , but ensure that you are reclaiming you 'fake'...

Can you let me know how you get on ...

I'm putting together an architecture proposal for 2 X P740 machines 10Gbit ethernet and 8GBit Fibre Channel for a new TSM 6.3 environment.

We currently...

Any reason why?

I've narrowed my shortlist down to:
1. P-Series hardware with AIX (my preference)
2. Z-10 hardware with Redhat Z-Linux (management want this as a comparison)

I'd love to hear...

I'm interested in getting some pro's/con's on an TSM infrastructure upgrade decision we're facing.

Currently we're running Windows 2003 64bit Enterprise clusters for our TSM 5.5.3 instances on IBM...

Hmmm, I'm still having problems with this since we've starting rolling out IE8.

So, I just want to use a DNS alias called 'tsmisc'.... FQDN in our DNS server would be tsmisc.blah.int.

I've gone...

Is anyone actively monitoring / recording usage history of their TS7650 VTL's?

I want to setup a script/snmp process to actively probe the appliance and send me an alert (or to TEC/OMNIBUS) when...

Maverick you're missing the point... I realise the TSM clients should not compress data, however, with real LTO drives setting Ultrium3 or Ultrium3C does not change the amount of data sent by the TSM...

Putting the mainframe aside ... I think what was being implied was that a virtual library is defined on the TS3500 with ALMS enabled for each TSM server instance. Then the common 9 physical tape...

I had a response from IBM, stating that the hyperfactor ratio shown via the PT Manager summary screen is the result of deduplication and compression by the appliance. They still could not directly...

Guys,

We've been running an enterprise TSM environment with 7 or so TSM servers communicating to a TS3500.

A single TSM Library Manager instance was created some time ago and manages all of the...

Hi guys,

For those of you with TSM and Protectier deployment experience, rather than a de-dupe question, I have a compression question.

First of all, we have had the TS7650 running on a TSM 5.5...

Hmmm ok, looks like I will have to suffer with a bit of TAPE I/O for a while..

So if I do the following:
1. Go ahead and create new 1:1 copy pools as stated above.
2. Update all scripts to now...

If you are not getting any logpinning issues, you could just simply schedule some additional incremental database backups to run throughout the day, perhaps to a sequential FILE device class such...

The other advantage of having a 1:1 primary to copy pool relationship is that each primary storage pools may contain data with like retention policies. Therefore a primary and copy tape will tend to...

For the last 7 years we have been backing up all of our primary tape storage pools to a single offsite copy storage pool.
eg.
Pri_tape_1 -> copypool1
Pri_tape_2 -> copypool1
Pri_tape_3 ->...

OK, I just applied the TSM 5.5 Fixpack 3 to the last of 7 TSM servers in our environment and it so happens that this server was the one running our Operational Web Reporting ... so also now have been...

Hello all, just a quickie ...

Currently, we're using version 5.5.1.10 of the Exchange Client TDP on quite a few Windows 2003 servers.

Many of these servers are on remote WAN links and hence we...

Issue the tsmdlst command from the command line to see what the real paths are from the Operating System are as reported by the IBM Tape device driver.

I am also interested in which database table client 'set access' lists are stored.

We ran into a small issue whereby we'd exported a heap of SQL nodes from one TSM server to another and naturally...

Does anyone know if TSM supports RIS backups running on a Windows 2003 SP2 server?

We previously tried with TSM 5.3.x (and I believe TSM 5.4.x) and it either killed the RIS services running on the...

We use CTRL-M for some of our TSM clients and essentially we just capture the ERRORLEVEL out to report a backup failure. The backup script checks for errorlevel 12 after the DSMC command then then...
