We now use a TSM 6.3.2.00 Server version and want to save vFiler Volumes (NA3270). According to IBM, it is possible for it to use the TSM backup client. Does anyone have experience with it? It should...

We use TSM 6.3.2.00 on Linux SLES 11. Is it possible to install Administration Center on a Windows Server and then administrate the TSM ? We are concerned mainly with the possibility to update TSM...

We have the lack of pools in the new environment also created with a status of "read only" and a "next storage pool." So far there have been no further problems.

Thank you for your tip. It has helped. Now we have the same problem with a backup pool. However, not all nodes. For some nodes, he complains of the lack of backup pool, others he migrated the data...

We just migrate from one TSM 5.5.4 infrastructure to a TSM 6.3.2 infrastructure. In the new TSM environment, there is no more DIRPOOL. Now we have the problem that some systems have written in the...

We have found a workaround: Login to the NetApp, go to advanced mode with "priv set advanced" and then use "inodepath" to get the Path / File that causes the Unicode problem. In our case it was an...

We have installed new TSM instances, version 6.3.2.00. When NetApp backup with TOC we get in 2 volumes the Unicode error "ANR4941E The server is unable to translate the Unicode name while building...

Thanks to all!

@tsmduber: That's the problem. The TSM instance does not longer exists. I can't start it.

The instance of the database backups are, is lowered. And of a different instance, I can not erase the tapes, or do I do something wrong?

On what should I issue the CLI commands? On the CLI of the Library Manager?
We always back up the databases several times a day. They are then stored for 7 days. When depose the commands, I have no...

Thanks for your Reply, but it doesn't works.

We have taken a TSM instance shut down. Now we want to use the tapes on which the database backups are as scratch tapes. These tapes are still available in the Library (I/O Station). At the command...

In our IBM 3584 TSM is a tape missed. According to the message in the error log is an 'audit library' necessary. Once I run 'audit library ibm3584' (with or without parameters), a process is started...

We start a restore on an TSM client with some files getting the error message: "Unknown Data Format". The same error we had on another server in July 2012. See the following...

That's what I almost thought. Thanks for the quick reply. Then we'll probably even have to clean up on the drive.

We use a NetApp 2040. The data is backed up via NDMP for each volume. TOC is set up. If we start a Retore the TOC is read. This reading takes up to an hour at a given volume (856 GB). The readout of...

When you mean the GUI-option, we set it: "View" - "Display active / inactive Files".

We are using a NetApp 2040 and TSM 5.5. Backup with NDMP, 5 days a week we make a diff. Backup, Saturday a full backup of the data.
When we want to restore a single file, we use "show active /...

Thanks to all for your answers.

Problem solved: We need to update the client to Version 6.3.0.0 (major update).

We need to restore more than 100 files from a Windows-Server. In half of the files we get the error Message "NS4020E The data format for object '\\path\filename' is unknown. This usually occurs when...

I changed the Path to backup both files (volhistory.out and deviceconfig.out). It is true that the changes take until you restart the TSM server?

Problem is solved: We scheduled every second backup on tape, so again there is enough free space in disk pools for the other backups.

I want to redirect the database backup to an empty directory. I would like to use the following command:
ba db t=i devclass=file: "path_name". What is the right path? "/opt/tivoli/tsm/tsm06/sfrt"...

We use a lot of TSM 5 clients. We now want to migrate to TSM 6 and accordingly upgrade the clients. Do we need to touch the dsm.opt too? Or it is enough simply to upgrade the client only? Changes to...

We have a TSM instance, no longer run on the last few days, the full database backups. The backups are run according to schedule every 3 hours (3 am, 9 am, 6 am and so on). Since then, a storage pool...

I see this correctly, that both files are in different paths to the same content, the files are written twice? The second version is a backup ?

Ok, I moved the file "volhistory_tsm06.out" to another directory. But, the new file is greater than the old version (600k (old) -> 900K (new). So there is not enough space for the new file.
I think...

I forgot to tell, that we using not DRM. So, I can delete the volhist too, without using DRM ?

The disk pool in which the volhistory is stored is full. Expand does not exist. According to IBM, the volhistory can be deleted. By what date back this makes sense? Are there any experiences?

"Problem" solved.

Is it necessary to write an archive management class nor the backup values? It's about a 10 year filing.
I now have only the information for archiving recorded. "Destination" is the "Archives pool"...

The result with "exclude.dir":

Total number of objects inspected: 727.641
Total number of objects backed up: 11.124
Total number of objects updated: 0
Total number of objects...

Okay, thanks for your Post. We'll try it and share the result.

We are already working with include / exclude for the affected files / folder.
Here's more information: Daily checks are more than 40 million files (from the TSM-Client), this process takes several...

We have taken a server with a database in operation, this Server will backup to the TSM. The problem is, the database server generates a lot of cache files, which are backed up to the TSM. Partly it...

The specified Volume was part of a Online Storage pool. It's state was 'scratch'. Only the damaged files were still on the tape. Otherwise it was empty. We will delete the damaged files and use it as...

We have had problems a few days with data on a tape. These are the TSM marked as damaged. We get every minute, the message:

The problem has done himself. The error no longer occurs. This is what we had on the other instances whatsoever. Unfortunately can no longer understand where the problem was. The administrator name...

Is there a support matrix for TSM for storage systems, operating systems and SAN controllers (such as Emulex)?

Since yesterday, we always get the error message:
"Session 1638260 for administrator /²‚| ( ) refused - administrator name not registered."
We will get this error frequently in other instances. How...

Is it possible the number of files being transferred or the entire data set to determine a management class in one day? The analysis of the data backed up for a node is indeed possible. For the...

We plan to use two Data Domain 670 or 860 in our TSM environment. Currently we use 2 IBM tape library. We backup Lotus Notes data and file services (Windows), SAP (DB2) and VMWare. Approx. 1000 nodes...

We have a different solution: we already using NDMP to back up the first Library on the first Library Manager. The second NDMP backup, we are also a time delay to first Assurance on the second...
