Yes, I've heard from that. It was on the roadmap. I'm a bit skeptical especially regarding restore performance when using tapes. It might better work with a VTL or for disk based backups. We will see.

Maybe I don't get it. But the behavior could be possible when a not yet collocated tape in a offsite pool is reclaimed. This could lead to several tape mounts for source and destination volumes.

Do you use DRM and are the tapes which are qualified for reclamation offsite?

Do you know this article: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsmaixn.doc%2Fanragd55221.htm

Use TSM administrative command line. delete filespace has a parameter to delete only backupdata. help delete filespace will gives you more information

First of all, welcome at the world of TSM. Please allow me to summarize the good answers of the previous posters for you.

I do not have the perspective anymore by your provided DSM.opt alternatives. When you not provide any management class for directories (backup operation) with the dirmc command the management class...

I would highly recommend to update your client. Any x.x.0.0 versions usually contains a log of bugs. Its easier to do an upgrade and then troubleshooting instead of troubleshooting a version which...

I've never heard that somebody installed TSM on ESXi hosts. Managed ESXi hosts doesn't contain much information which has to be backuped. Do you look for a possibility to backup your VMs or your...

There are several IBM ICs regarding TransErrno. Maybe you want to update your TSM client first to the most recent 5.5 maintenance level.

As you don't want to remove any proxy releationship you can just run command 2). TSM will notify you that some agents are already granted and will add the addional agents.

Use revoke proxynode to revoke a releationship. Use grant proxynode to define a new releationshit. Sorry, but I do not see your point.

You just need to define the proxy/agent reletationship for DC and INFRA01/00 nodes.

Please describe that you want to do in detail.

Sorry coming back so late. Unfortunately I can't compare it to my TSM servers as I have no 5.x version on the hand. Did you also considered that there might be more than one copy of the file which...

You might want to have a look to the filespaces of the nodes. Sometimes you can get an indicaton by the name and type. For example are DB TDP filespaces recognizable.

Just setup multiple data mover nodes. The following article might help you:...

I think nothing is wrong. Unfortunately, I don't have a TSM 5.x installation on the hand. With TSM 6.x the expiration algorithm was changed to make it more efficient.

set volume to ro and do an audit volume. This will show you any problems. When there are damaged file and you have a copy of them you can do a restore volume. When everything is fine set to to r/w.

I guess the q occup command shows the number of files in it. But expiration tells you the number of objects examined. When one file has 10 versions there are 10 objects.

You should also verify that neigher the storage pool nor any volumes which are needed are set to unavlaible.

It depends. Are you sending a copy of your tapes to siteb?

If so, you can restore your TSM DB from servera to serverb and use the copy pool to restore data.

Do you really use TSM 4? That is strange. You should update to the most recent version.

Usually you can define a new backup pool and move with "move nodedata" nodes to the new copy pool. But on...

When just reclaime is the problem use reuse delay on storage pool. This keeps the volume (tape / file) for x days in pending before it is deleted from the pool.

You really must ensure that your...

It can be. It is possible that the biggest migrable file on your disk pool doesn't fit to any of these filling tapes? Migration always starts with the biggest node/file.

Check Max Scratch Parameter on storage pool.

Do you have collocation enabled? Are the filling tape realy onsite, check state and check it with q libvol.

No, you can't do it on level of a single tape cartridge. From TSM point of view I would not make sense.

It might have todo with the block size of your VMFS datastore. Depending on your VMware / VMFS version and choosen block size the size of a single file is limited.

Yes, it is. Each run just copies the needed files to the copy pool. You can compare the number of files on the pools by executing the following statement:http://thobias.org/tsm/sql/index.html#toc92

Maybe you wan't to open a PMR on this issue. They will ask for the instumentaiton output.

Use dsmc and overwrite your dsm.opt settings by command parameter.

You can't move a single directory from one to another storage pool unless you don't want to move the content of a whole cartridge or the whole node. You can restore the directory and backup it again...

Create an instrumental output during migration from disk to tape would also help.

Did you configure vCenter Plugin for TSM Server connection. It is done in the Plugin itself. Ist the connection successfull?

This looks to a problem with the TSM credentials.

Yes this is possible. It is almost the same. vCenter Plugin creates schedulers on TSM Server by using vCLI node and client acceptor. You can setup your own scheduling on TSM server without any...

You do not need to write a cmd script. You can schedule VM backups with TSM 6.x. Just create a opt file with your backup options. Then use a client scheduler to invoke backup.

It depends on your scheduling approach. When you want to do full backups based on hosts then 1 is fine. When you want to do full backups based on vStorage Server 3 is fine. In most cases 2 doesn't ...

Yes some of these nodes are a must depends on your setup. When you want to use DP for VMware vCenter Plug-In it is highly recommend to setup nodes as described. The plugin uses the grant/proxy...

Your question doesn't make sense. Retention is not related to storage pools.
