Essentially, we want one tape drive not used by any thing else. So when the Exchange 2010 starts to backup it can grab a drive straight away without competition and can keep it. Normally, the tape...

Thanks for this solution. I had thought of deleting paths etc. I was wondering have you tried this method at TSM 6.1 or TSM 5.5?
Thanks

Hi There,

I am using TSM 6.1 with 6 X LTO4 tape drives. I have an Exchange 2010 configured to use LANFree (Storage Agent). I would like to use one TSM library (created in TSM)

Is it possible...

Hi,

TSM Version 5.3.6.3/Solaris 8

I keep on finding these in the error log. They appear to be from reclaimation. Anyone had any experience with this type of message?

Found that problem. We have 2 X LT03 emulating LT02s. Scratch tapes loaded in here always is want to use these tape drives. I had taken them offline with the view to remove them and therefore a...

Thanks. Yes it was created with SHARED=YES

Hello
Version TSM 5.3.6.3 on Solaris 8

I had a device class file (Dev class=FILE)to backup snapshots to disk. I changed the location on disk as to where the files would be dumped. I got these...

Yes, you will have to rebuild the libraries. Manage the scratch and private as before. Do mix LT02 and LT04 in the same library. Does not work well

The tape is set to read only which should not make a difference

Hi all,

Whenever I try and move data, reclaim this one particular tape or audit volulem(there are serveral others). It always comes up with the same errors below. There are plenty of drives...

Yes, MOVE NODEDATA is OK for in the same library (I think). Try it, if it works. Always plan to do a bit of experimenting. What you may be able to do is create another node and start the backup as...

Hi,

I have been downloading a TSM 6.1 fix for linux. Unfortunately, I have lots of issues with the file size being inconsistent with the previous effort. I have been using the size given by IBM on...

Also, when a DB backup is started, where is the point of consistency. At the beginning of the Backup or End of the Backup?

Hi all,

Just a quick question...
For a DR, which is the better to recover from Full or Snapshot? Or it does not matter!

Hi all,

I have a 3584 Tape Library. With VOLSER=8. Meaning to say from TSM/Tape Library can read the type of tape e.g. TD1034L4 rather than TD1034. I currently have a library with 8 X LT02s.

Yes, it is still an unresolved problem for us. Tried everything. The DataOnTapp is 6.5.1R2 on the NETAPPS which is unsupported. May be reboot of the NETAPPS may fix it... don't know why it would....

Your issue is quite different from mine. However, I believe there have been changes at later versions that use non-'n' devices. Should still work. My issue is probably related to obsolete versions...

Hi,

Is there a SQL statement or a way to tell if we have to recover a node how much data will retrieved (GBytes)? I assume it is the sum of active files.

Hi,

I deleted a path to NETAPPS during a library rebuild. However, trying to recreate it comes up with ANR1737E UPDATE PATH: Device name rst2a specified is invalid. It was working beforehand.

Hi all,


I have an IBM 3584 tape library. The front panel came up with an error of B091. Where do I find an intepretation of this code? The actlog had the error below. How do I intrepretate this...

Hi all,
SOLVED this problem. The check label is set in the DRM module to YES. Which means on check out for move drmedia. Check label in the drive. If there are no drives available them you get this...

The "query mount" showed no tape in reserve mode. When I tried doing the restore only 4 of the 8 drives were in use. This implied 4 were available to be used to recover data (from my understanding)

All drives and paths online. SAN attached. Most of the time things are OK.

Hi All,

I am looking at installing the client as non-root. I understand you have to change dsmtca permissions etc.

Does any one have a link explaining how to do this?

Is it a good idea? Pros...

FOUND THE PROBLEM...

Yes, indeed the lin 1.38 tape drive is very faulty. It will not label new tapes it hangs forever (indefinite loop). From IBM advice we down graded to 1.34 or 1.35 and it...

No, the label process never completes. Tape gets loaded from I/O to first tape drive and nothing happens after that. After a couple of hours it times out and is moved to the slot in the logical...

The device class is OK. Had someone else look at it

Last Update Date/Time: 06/10/2010 12:21:27

Device Access Strategy: Sequential

There is nothing in the actlog or any error. The other thing I forgot to mention was the FC Status light (back of LT04) goes amber, but I don't believe it is the Fabric

Hi,

We have just installed a TSM 6134 on SuSe linux 10 with an IBM tape library 3584 (4 X LT04 tape drives). All was going well, until we tried to label our first tape. The control path appears to...

Thanks.

Have you had much experience with the Tivoli Storage Manager Passthru device driver which is supplied with TSM6.1 as a package

Hi all,

I have not installed 6.1 and just doing some homework. I am installing the device driver package that comes with installation to use with our IBM LT04s. I have been told to use this...

I am looking at moving tape drive around in an IBM 3584. The main frame has 12 slots. I believe the WWN name as seen by the fabric is determined by the slot position. Mainly, because the...

Is there anyway to achieve this without cycling (re-start) the TSM Server?
