We currently have 11 TSM 6.3.3 servers running on AIX 6.1 TL7. With a total of 23 instances of TSM running. Each instance moves 13 TB - 15 TB per night. There are 4000 nodes in total. Mostly Windows...

We see a performance hit when the Exchange integrity check runs before the backup. Every third party backup vendor is suggested to run this check as it reads every page of the Exchange data store to...

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I had a bad feeling that manual was the only way. This PVU stuff is just driving me crazy.

We can't do the "per byte" setup. 4.2 Petabytes would run our current...

Hi All,
Was wondering how everyone keeps track of their TSM Licensing.
We run a manual process but was thinking it would run via a script much better.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanke MikeyMac.
I know this has been an issue for us since 2000. I was hoping someone may have come up with a solution.

JoeA

Thanks but this query only lists volumes with data on them from the named node. I need only the volumes that are required for the restore. This is something I've been looking for, for awhile. It...

Hey All,
I'm looking for a script that will list out any tapes required for a restore.
Anyone have anything they are willing to share?

JoeA

Thanks for the input Jen/Chad.

We are movig to upgrade to TSM 5.5 as soon as the first service release is made available.
I don' like to move to x.x.0 code levels (5.5.0.0).

Hi,
We are starting to look more at our archive process and I was wondering if anyone out in TSM land is using backup sets in place of the normal TSM archive process? I can't think of any downsides...

Thanks to both of you.
The first script worked like a charm.

Hi,
We are doing some TDP Exchange resotres but since our data is spread across multiple tapes I was wondering what's the most efficent way of getting the volume names of the tapes that we'd need to...

Thanks Neil,
It turns out it was the local_policy.jar file. I replaced that file, recreated the key store and then it started working. Thanks for all the help, Neil.
Now my TSM life can return to...

Hi Neil,
Yes LME is enabled on the ts3500. The only change we had done for TSM is for the dev class, encryption=allow. We keep getting media write errors:

We have a brand new IBM TS3500 library with 12 TS1120 tape drives with 2 EKM (Encryption Key Manager) boxes running under LINUX. Anyone one out there running this setup as well?

JoeA

Thanks for the reply.

Here's where I'm coming from, I am considering using Commvault to backup the SQL portion of my sharepoint servers then use TSM to archive the data via the SQL TDP client....

Hi All,

Anyone out there doing this? If so any issues and of course how are you doing it?



Thanks in advance.

Thanks.. :)

I haven't been able to get a solid answer from IBM on this so I'd thought I'd ask here.

I know of the diffrences of both modes but the question I can't seem to get an answer on is, what happens...

From my experience you do not need to uninstall the older version. we use scripts to upgrade our TSM clients. The script does the following, stops all TSM schedulers, upgrades the TSM client then...

Many Thanks Aaron. It worked perfectly.

:)

Hi,

I have created raw LV on my SAN disk using the following commands,

Hi All,

I created a new instance of TSM today and edited the dsmserv.opt file so the ports will not interact with the primary TSM instance. Now the secondary instance is up and running only...

You'll need to create an overflow location and do a checko libv command and place the overflow location in the description so when TSM looks for any of the volumes that are outside of the library it...

There is no doubt that your issue is on the server. The things you need to look at is how many sessions do allow to start at one time, what is the randomization set to, and what resourceutilization...

Same issue hree. Using TSM5.2.3 on AIX 5.1.

Hi,

We use the same process for checking in tapes as scratch. If you have a tape placed in the library and it still contains valid data TSM will report that the volume can not be given a status of...

Yes changing the DSMSERV.OPT file requires a restart of TSM. For our setup, TSM 5.2.3 and with a 280Gig DB it takes roughly 40 minutes to restart the TSM.

Check your TSM server settings and see if you have the following default setting:

Resource Timeout 150



If you do this could be your issue. Increase this setting to 190 and see if hte...

Hi All,

Does TSM backup the BACLIENT dir on the clients by default? I have some servers that have it backed up and some that don't. There is nothing i nthe DSM.OPT file excluding it.

Thanks.

You are correct, sorry for the mis-info. My process actually looks like this.



Disk Pool ----> Copy Pool (backup)

Tape Pool----> Copy Pool (backup)

Disk Pool -----> Tape Pool (migration)

Thanks for the reply's guys.

I just deleted them and manually recalled them from Iron Moutain updated their location to onsite and whamo I have 182 extra scratch tapes. Thanks again.

Hi All,

I've got some tapes that reside offsite in a copy pool that I would like to re-call, delete the data off of and use them as scratch tapes. all of these tapes were pretty much empty anyway....

Thanks for the replys.

Yes we do use DRM.

Currently we do the following:

1 backup stgp (disk) to tape pool

2 backup stgp (tape) to copy pool

Do I need to backup my disk pool to tape pools as well as do migration or do I just do migration to tape pool and then back up tape pool to copy pool??
