Greetings *SM'ers,
Environment:
Server: Win2K SP2, TSM 5.1.1
Clients: NT4 SP6a TSM 5.1.1 and Win2K SP2, TSM 5.1.1
I am relatively new to TSM, and not afraid of being humbled!
Our library failed yesterday and is being repaired today. Last night most
(but not all) of the backups failed on the clients with errors like the one
below. All clients point to disk pools for their backups and the disk pools
are/were online and available. I assumed the backups would continue despite
the library not being available, am I wrong to assume this? I understand
our migration/reclamation is not possible today until the library is
repaired, but we specifically designed our diskpools to be able to handle
3-4 days of backups without migration for this very reason. As is evident
by the Pct Migr. Number, the pool took on almost no data during the backups.
Simultaneous writes to Copy Pools are disabled as well. I guess I am
wondering why TSM needs the tape drive during the backups if the clients
point to the disk which has plenty of space and is available? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. In all likelihood, this is a PEBCAK problem.
:-(
In the future, is there a "good" or graceful way to take a library offline.
I know it can be done with the VARY command against disks, but is there a
similar option for libraries?
