Hello,
I'm having some issues restoring some data off of a Centos box running surgemail. After several hours (18 hours first time) the restore beings, and then after about 9.5 MB, it stops and just sits there. A couple hours later, the connection is severed. I restart the restore (dsmc restart restore) and even though it claims to be a restartable restore, it seems to start all over again and tries to restore the same files over again, then gets severed, and so on.
When I query the backup , it creates a list of files pretty fast. I just cancelled and restarted it with the second command.
Setup:
Centos x64 with TSM Client 5.5.1
Windows 2k3 32 bit TSM server with TSM 5.3.6
100 Mb/s LAN
Restore Commands:
dsmc restore -pitd=7/31/2009 -pitt=07:00:00 -subdir=yes /var/spool/vmail/clientcompany.com/bj/ae/clientusername/ /home/tsm/restore/clientusername/
and most recently:
dsmc restore -pitd=7/31/2009 -pitt=07:00:00 /var/spool/vmail/clientcompany.com/bj/ae/clientusername/mdir/* /home/tsm/restore/clientusername/
Activity log:
As soon as the restore starts or is restarted, it gives me the three volumes that it needs
When the client is disconnected, there's a message about the session being severed.
Client error and schedule logs:
No errors except that the sessions are being interrupted and will attempt to restart.
Other Considerations:
There are no other processes or sessions running on TSM.
Local LAN - no connectivity issues
Backups run fine regularly
Volumes that it needs are all Read-Write access, and are in the library, checked in and all.
The size of the restore is only a couple hundred MB.
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
