Greetings!
We are hoping to upgrade from TSM 4.1 to 4.2 quite soon and today I have
started looking at 4.2.1.9 fairly seriously. One major behaviour that
seems different from 4.1 (and before) is that if there is not one/more
tape drives available then processes like BACKUP STG, MOVE DATA, AUDIT VOL
(for example) fail immediately with the error :
"ANR1217E BACKUP STGPOOL: Process 9 terminated - insufficient number of
mount points available for removable media."
instead of the kinder and more convenient behaviour of waiting :
Process Process Description Status
Number
-------- -------------------- -------------------------------------------------
5,567 Audit Volume Volume N00081 (storage pool BACKUP_V1), Files
5,567 Audit Volume Volume N00081 (storage pool BACKUP_V1), Files
(Inspect Only) Processed: 7, Damaged Files Found: 0, Partial
Files Skipped: 7. Current Physical File (bytes):
10,318,284
Waiting for mount point in device class
3590CLASS (5 seconds).
Could anyone in a position to, please explain if this is a design change
or bug sent to annoy me?
Also, Q DRIVE output has lost the column showing the device :
TSM 4.1.4.0 :
Library Name Drive Name Device Type Device ON LINE
------------ ------------ ----------- ---------------- -------------------
3494ROBOT DEV200 3590 /dev/rmt2 Yes
3494ROBOT DEV200 3590 /dev/rmt2 Yes
TSM 4.2.1.9 :
Library Name Drive Name Device Type On-Line
------------ ------------ ----------- -------------------
3494ROBOT DEV290 3590 Yes
3494ROBOT DEV290 3590 Yes
Very irritating (and looks like a design change as the documentation
matches what I see ... ).
(Platform AIX 4.3)
Thanks!
