Your best bet is to look at the admin ref's manual and look at the format of
the commands. The sched you have is labeled daily_inc but you have the
action set as image backup. Also, you have a value in the objects which is
incorrect.

So go to a  TSM command line and enter:

-q dom (to get the domain name(s) defined)

then:
-del sched <domain name> DAILY_INC    (to remove your existing def)

then redefine as:
-def sched <domain name> DAILY_INC DESC="Daily incremental backup of
Windows"

I'm guessing from below you are trying to back up a windows server or
desktop.........

If you do want to restrict the shed to just backing up the c:\ drive then
you would have an explicit objects parms as:

-def sched <domain name> DAILY_INC DESC="Daily incremental backup of
Windows" objects="c:\*"

But generally you want to back up all the local drives on the box and set
that via the options file on the client....dsm.opt

After you get your sched correct you have to associate a client with the
schedule. look up define association

for #2, go to the command line, enter q dev * f=d and see what is set for
mountlimit for your tape library. then look at the define devclass defs in
the admin manual.

TSM can be very confising at 1st..........:-)

Team -

I am new to TSM (ex Veritas NetBackUp User) and would like some pointers
on a couple of issues im having.

The environment for TSM consists of a single TSM 5.4.1 Server in IBM
Bladecenter (32Bit) Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise (8Gb RAM)

The Storage consists of an IBM DS4300 SAN and an IBM TS3310 Storage robot
with (4) Fibre Connected Drives.

I have installed and configured the TSM Server, the ISC and the Admin
Software.

I have also installed and configured the clients on several of the WIndows
2003 based servers as clients.

1. I CAN connect to a client and invoke a backup or restore directly using
the TSM client Software, However when I try to schedule any type of backup
from the SERVER using ISC, I receive - Failure Executing Schedule
DAILY_INCR, RC=12.


Next Scheduled Event Obtained from Server COBMISPBAK001_SERVER1 (Windows):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schedule Name:       DAILY_INCR
Action:              Backup Image
Objects:             C
Options:             (none)
Server Window Start: 22:59:00 on 09/20/2007
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Also, I have notices that the TS3310 Robot is running SINGLE Threaded.
Meaning that only ONE of the FOUR drives seems to be participating in the
backups even though multiple systems are supposed to be being backed up.

3. I am having issues getting LAN-FREE to work even though I am fully
licensed for that feature set.

Please assist if you can.. I am getting very confised here.

Thanks !!
