Hi!
1)would you recommend what kind of "schedmode" better: prompted or polling? 2) when sched in prompted mode how it start after "Schedule prompter contacting..."? For example we have Schedule Randomization Percentage : 10, duration=30, durunits=minutes. We have 4 drives in 3584. All drives busy. Sched started and wait 30 min. If in this period one drive released then sched start immediatly without randomization (3 min in our example) or wait 1,2 or 3 min?

Both schedmodes have advantages. Promted is very useful if you want things to start at an exact moment, polling is very useful if you want randomization. I don't understand your comment on tape drives, surely you have a bunch of disk in you TSM server and have client only on rare occasions go directly to tape?

If you do have many clients go directly to tape,make sure you have enough drives. Also you want your mountwait to be way up (maybe 60 or even higher). Mount retention should be one or two minutes usually.


If we have sheds on some clients with status "in progress" too many times and when stop all tsm process on problem clients(scheds,dsmsta) this we have on tsm server side:
