Re: TSM 5.1 AIX server timing weirdness.....

Zoltan,

What's your "Schedule Randomization Percentage" set to on the TSM server?
Set it to zero if you want it to start at the beginning of the start of the
backup window.

Hope this helps...

Subject: TSM 5.1 AIX server timing weirdness.....


This is rather strange.......

I have been working with a user trying to get both a DOMINO DB and regular
server backups scheduled and cooperating. We have been having issues with
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statements not WAD (where "D" can be either Designed or
Documented !!!....  only got *1* response from here !!!)

Due to recommendations from the Tivoli Redbook on backing up Domino
databases/machines, we have defined two nodes, SPRUCE.VCU.EDU is for the
DB backups and plain old SPRUCE for the OS backups !

So, I updated the client backup schedules, setting them to run at 14:30:00
for the OS backup and 14:45:00 for the Domino DB backups.

So, why did TSM decide to schedule the OS backup at +40 minutes (15:10:00)
and the DB backup at +33 minutes (15:18:00) ???????????
