Re: Testing v4.2

If client node compression is enabled there is nothing to worry about.
"Number of files transferred" shows the compressed data not actual
filesizes. OCCUPANCY table on the server also shows space occupied by
*compressed* data. Try to sum filesizes from dsmsched.log

Subject:        Testing v4.2

I am testing v4.2 of the TSM server for OS/390.

I have found the following problems, or are they problems:




1)  I defined a new node MANAGE_ME to the TSM 4.2 server.  This is the
first backup for this node on this server.  No filespaces exist for this
on this server for this node.  When I run the backup (either via
scheduler, or command), I only backup 429 mb.  This node has a 3.2gb disk
drive, with 796mb used.  It does not look like everything is being
backed up.    Missing about 300mb.


2)  When the backup completes, no information is related back to the
server.  In the previous version we would see the backup statistics for
each node in the server JESLOG.  In this version, it seems as though the
information is not
there.  For instance the following information (this information is from
the dsmsched.log on the node):

07/16/2002 08:59:16 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN

3)  Getting the following messages when trying to run a storage pool
backup:

09.02.48 STC12888  IKJ56241I DATA SET TSMT.BFS.V1E NOT ALLOCATED+

09.02.48 STC12888  IKJ56241I REQUEST REQUIRES MORE NON-SMS MANAGED

09.02.48 STC12888  ANR1401W Mount request denied for volume 306500 -
mount failed.

The tape 306500 is not in on of our libraries.


The test and production servers are running on the same processor, and
everything worked on the test serve prior to upgrade.

Thanks for your assistance!
