What @moon-buddy says and also I'd suggest running the 'tdpoconf showenv' utility to check that the TSM side of the TDPO configuration is all still setup correctly.

A common gotcha: check that...

Hello @IanMitchell,

It's been a while since I've done SAN Storage Agent stuff on Solaris but when I did it was the *stcbn flavour of special device files that we used.

That is not my experience. Consider the following:

@Harry's right about the library issue, although it seems you certainly do have a licensing issue with your TSM Server as well - have you installed the TSM licensing package on this system?

Hello @tsmtsm,

You may also consider investigating what we call a 'Backupset', previously known in the product as an 'Instant Archive'.

An idea (and I'm sure there might be a nicer way as well), but if this is only an ad-hoc query have you considered performing the query from/as the client instead?

Hello xmlnoob,

I take it you exported the node's data to a tape volume rather than directly to the new server over the network (i.e., TOSERVER)?

In which case, next you'll need to check in the...

Ok, this suggests to me that the TSM Server Activity Log covering this period would be the next place to check and see if there are any corresponding errors there. The causes of the 'Server media...

FWIW, you sure can deactivate TDP for SQL Server backups both from the GUI and from the CLI using the INACTIVATE command.

Nice one Chad. I'd like to see "tape library/drive/media issues" in there too - certainly the box-ticker for one of my customers at the moment.

Once again, IBM seems to have sneaked another release of FastBack under the door. Seriously, am I missing something, or is IBM just not so great at communicating this stuff to its customers any more?...

Hmn, that's a puzzler - the login works fine on the systems here. I'm stumped now I'm afraid - anybody else have any pointers for m@tteo?

What part is it that doesn't seem to work? The 'technician' login?
