Sorry for the late reply

In the starting post I forgot to mention that the schedule runs on a Windows machine, sorry!

opermty's method is only possible if archiving is started by a local batch...

Hi there,

I defined a client schedule on a TSM server - action is ARCHIVE because the files are to be deleted after successful archiving.
My problem is, there is no schedlog file, only the...

Does the error only occur in one specific tape drive?

Hi

there is an article on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open

They say the lifespan of LTO1 is 200 entire reads or writes. But as everything mechanical, this depends...

Uninstalling, reboot and re-installing fixed it. Funny

Yes, the dsm.opt is being read from the bottom. Therefore the include statements have to be placed below excludes ;-)

Hi

today I updated a 5.5.3 client and a 6.3.0.14 client to 6.3.0.15. This was released 10 days after .14 so is probably meant as a bugfix.

Instead of

Hi

Changing the management class is the way to go.
But be aware of the fact that only the management class of active files will be changed (active = files still resides in filesystem)

If you...

Hi Malli

state FULL means: end-of-tape has been reached. It is likely that contents became obsolete while backups have been written to the tape.
You should schedule reclamation jobs for all your...

Hi

did you also perform an inventory on the library console?

Status FULL only indicates that the tape has been written until end-of-tape. Data itself expires according to the rules you defined, but the tape space that becomes "free" cannot be written to...

Hi

you have to run reclamation. Second best way is daily administrative schedule calling a script that contains lines like
reclaim stgpool LTOpool1 threshold=60 wait=y Duration=120

That is a good question, rstockon.

Chad, is the value times_mounted stored on the memory chip inside the cartridges? Else I would not trust this too much.

Hi

the first question would be why is restore to the file system so much slower than backup stgpool...

To move part of the data to another primary volume the most simple way would be to start...

Hi Jeroen,

I used set serverpassword XXX on both sides ... but your command did the trick! Hartelijk dank!

But now I don't know why the TSM servers even could access managed drives. TSM remains...

Hi Chad
I tried again using forcesync=yes, but no success. The strange thing is that it is possible to submit "(other server): q admin" in both directions

Hi experts,

i am close to desparation....

the server-server-connection of a TSM server to a library manager is broken. Every attempt to mount a tape is being rejected:

Hi

the TSM server has to scan the file system, otherwise it cannot determine which files are inactive.
If it would change everything to inactive on destroyed (or powered off) file systems, this...

Hi Christian,

this looks like you do no longer backup the directory/filesystem the file was stored on. In this case the TSM server does not "see" that the file is deleted, so it will remain active...

You can search the error code in any search machine :-)
IBM has TSM Message Manuals available - example for 5.5:...

Hi
when you define a volume TSM writes a files of the specified size to your disk(s). So it might take 2...3 minutes.

hmmm...
This should only include the directory structure, but no files other than under backups.

edit: great, so now I won't have to try this myself :)

I think the exclude.dir is higher priority, no matter where in the dsm.opt it is positioned.

What would work is either:
DOMAIN C:
EXCLUDE C:\...\*
INCLUDE C:\BACKUPS\*
but this will backup the...

Try to start dsmserv from commandline:
dsmserv extend log [new_volume_name] [new_volume_size] with size in megabytes

Then immediately start a backup db to free log space

Hi
there has been a write error. If your drives are ok, probably the tape is damaged. If you have multible r/w errors reported for multiple tapes, but all on 1 drive, you should have this drive...

Your DB seems to be heavily fragmented. You might run "estimate dbreorg" to see how much space will be won - but be very very careful with this command. Your TSM server will not do anything else but...

No, the examples are WAV files archived by an application using the TSM API for AIX. They are being deleted after archiving, but the size of the retrieved files is as I wrote.
Is the filesize...

Hi

we are using TSM as a back-end for archiving. Files are stored on 2 Systems in different locations, and at some intervals I check if the content of both systems differs. Just for curiousity I...

dcarlile,
this is one reason why we set up the libman additionally to a TSM server in one lpar. Our AIX guy softlinked the dsm binaries to a separate directory where dsmserv.opt and the other...

This is correct! If you want to use dedicated drives, define them all on the library manager. There you define paths to your drives for each library client.
We only have 9 drives in our biggest...

Hi
our setup is 2 locations with 2 libraries each, one for primary and one for copy pools. On one location there are two, on the other one there are three TSM servers that use the libraries. On each...

.. They did even send an answer.
It reads "The TS1040 downloads are always found under its library, TS3500" etc.

There are device drivers, but no microcode.
Can't decide between :mad: and :D

Well,
I am trying to find firmware level b710 for fiber channel.

In the readme of the fixlist I was able to find this line is written down:

Drive Code Level: B710 (LTO4_FH_FC, LTO4_FH_SAS,...

... only if you define two client nodes to backup this file

If you are on Windows, you may also include a line like

Everyone begins dumb :D

... at least I did

Objects will only be deleted if your policies allow deletion. All depends on retention times and number of versions

Hi
you should run expiration after the backup window, because the BA clients will mark deleted and obsolete files "inactive" during their work.
These will be examined by the expiration process

Thank you Chad,

indeed 14 of 16 hardware error entries since end of july in the actlogs of the library clients are fom one drive. The other 2 also are from one drive, but in the other library!

Hi there

I am currently watching an unusual amount of read- and write-errors in one of our libraries. Probably the cause is flooding :cry: we had under a raised floor which caused higher than...

Well, the library manager has to be as recent version as the clients. It may be a higher, but not lower version no.

The password for server-server communication may be set with the command "set...

Check for collocation setting in your copy pool...

You cannot update it. Define a a new volume and delete the old one after migrating it

Is all data from one node?

Hi ears,
it is
migrate stg BIR_NT lo=0 (dura=120 wait=y)

As you have defined BIR_NT_LTO as next pool, migration will go to this pool.
The part in parantheses is for use in a housekeeping script...

Found out why filespace could not be deleted, I had to add "type=server"
Now occupancy is 0 and all remote db snapshots go to new storage pools with collocation off ;-)

I will watch how it...
