Re: TDP for MS SQL and cached storage pools

Actually, based on my experience with TDP for Mail, I would guess that
Tim is right on.  We were forced to turn caching off on the diskpool
that we used for mail backups due to this "feature" in TSM-TDP (support
claims that this is not a bug and is working exactly as designed, they
just don't bother to let anyone know that caching is not an option with
TDP).

Apparantly TDP cant trust the calculation it does before sending,
therefor, it will not send if the %util in the diskpool meets the
requirement, rather than factoring in the %reclaimable.

You've jumped to *way* too large a conclusion. This has nothing to do
with the disk storage pool, cached or otherwise.
 
You need to check the dsierror.log for API-related errors, and you also
need to check your error message against the listing for it in
http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts.

        To *,
        
        I'm getting the following error from an NT TSM client (v 5.1.6)
using TDP for MS
        SQL:
        
        01/23/2004 10:08:08 ACO5436E A failure occurred on stripe number
(0), rc = 418
        01/23/2004 10:08:08 ANS1311E (RC11)   Server out of data storage
space
        
        The TSM server (AIX 4.3.3 ML10, TSM 5.1.6) has sufficient
primary storage pool
        space (350 GB) to handle this backup request (70 GBs) but I'm
still getting the
        error. I'm using "disk caching" on my primary storage pool. Has
anyone
        encountered a situation where disk caching would cause an
incorrect calculation
        of available storage pool space???
