For about 3 months now I have been fighting a battle where I use windows to copy a file, right click and copy then paste to a windows partition.
Now AIX is running Samba and the files are migrated by HSM to TSM. If I use the copy method on files that are not migrated or have been recalled first the copy is successful. The same thing applies to FTP, the files come back. Howver with FTP it doesn't seem to matter if the files are migrated or not.
Anyway after numerous traces that ran concurrently on AIX and XP we were able to determine that Windows was sending a Cancel Session and AIX with HSM/TSM would stop recalling files and then Samba would issue a Cancel Session. Convincing the Windows folk that this was a timeout due to their default settings was difficult. However I was able to convince them by staying with the issue.
I now have a fix for this issue, so if anyone is having similar issues with Migrated files via HSM on UNIX, let me know and I can tell you what I did to resolve the issue. Note however that MS claims I have changed the way Windows works, yet they supplied the New Registry Key, that I had to enter. Note this is a NEW KEY, you are not modifying a current key in the registry. It is unlikely that this will be released as a fix by MS so if you have this issue facing you digging out the fix will be difficult.
