Hi,
We've recently migrated from using our old netware cluster for file storage to a windows based system, but we've recently received requests to restore data from our old EOM backupsets. Since we've decomissioned the netware cluster and the attached SAN we had to build another netware server so that we could do the restore.
Since I kept all the old client nodes on the system etc. there aren't any issues restoring the data, however all data is being restored in the short file name format.
Now we've always had a small issue that when browsing through backed up netware files in the tsm client they have always shown up in short file name format(DOS, 8.3), but whenever the restore was completed the files would always convert themselves to the long format(as in if you browsed the restored data whilst the restore was still going they'd still be in 8.3, but after the restore completes they'll be fine). Unfortunately when restoring on this new netware server this just isn't happening and we're at a loss as to why...
Where is the long name format information stored? Surely it's stored along with the backup somewhere, we've tried various things in the option file(autofsrename, memoryefficientbackup no etc.) with no luck.
Plus the long name space is definitely enabled on the netware volume...
We're currently running an older version of tsm(5.4.2) but according to everything I read that shouldn't be an issue in this case.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
