Problem Backing up Exchange 5.5 Priv IS

Hi, I'm getting ANS1309W (RC9) requested data is offline when trying to backup the IS on excahnge 5.5, using TDP for Exchange 2.2. The DS backs up no problem. I've previously had media problems with the Server 4.1.2 on SUN, so have had to manually move exchange LOGS in order to keep the server

Re: $$ACTIVE$$

Correct, if you have NEVER gone through the ~validate policy~ ~activate policy~ you will see an active one listed as $$ACTIVE$$, just a reminder that you are running with something YOU haven't looked into. Also if you import a policy from another server, and that policy had an ACTIVE policy set

Re: $$ACTIVE$$

After validating and activating the policy set, ACTIVE policy set will be created. Whenever there is a modification to the policy set , it should be activated to make the changes effective.You can define multiple policy sets to the domain.However, there can be only one active policy set per

TSM v4.2.1, sun 3500, solaris 2.8, 2gb memory, 288gb disk. Currently have a database of approximately 6.5gb at 77% utilization. Dbbufsize is currently set at 192mb. Cash hit starts out very good at 99-99.5% but creeps downward throughout a weeks run to around 97%. I have looked in the admin

Re: cash hit percentage questions

Increase your DBBufsize to 256MB. Also with your DB at 77% utilization , I would increase the DB so your utilizatuion is more like 50% or 60% at most. David B. Longo System Administrator Health First, Inc. 3300 Fiske Blvd. Rockledge, FL 32955-4305 PH 321.434.5536 Pager 321.634.8230 Fax:

Re: cash hit percentage questions

Gary, You need to consider what's running on the system. In general, TSM maintenance activities should have a high hit ratio, but new incoming files will lower the ratio. That's because by definition, a new file does not have a database entry and therefore MUST miss the cache. Our system runs

Re: TSM Scheduler shows backups completed successfully dsmerror. log shows backups failed ?

Thank you for your information. It is EXTREMELY helpful to know that there is an APAR out there regarding this issue, and that someone is actively looking at it. This is the first I've heard that a problem had been recognized. Thanks for being on the list and helping out with this stuff!

3590 (E or H) drives per FC interface (6227) ???

I've looked through the archives and can't find much. I've waded through IBM's web sites and can't find specifics... Has anyone found any recomendations on max number of 3590's (FC attached) per FC card on host ? Environments I'm looking at are 7017-S70's that have a max of 4 FC cards (6227's)

Invoking Backups From Command Line Via A Job Scheduler

Good Day, I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction. There have been some related emails flying around, but I am not clear completely on how to best do the following. We have implemented Tivoli Workload Scheduler (maestro) on AIX, and need to invoke backups via the command

Win2K Excludes

Does someone have a good default exclude list for Windows 2000? Novell 6?

Re: 3590 (E or H) drives per FC interface (6227) ???

The sustained write rate of a 3590 drive is 15 MB/sec at the head. You multiply 15 times your compression ratio to get the sustained transfer rate through you adapter. I have saturated the arbitrated loop (FC-AL) of a fibre 3590 with DB2 backups (60 MB/sec), but that was highly compressible

Re: Win2K Excludes

Jack, This is a basic exclude that I have for my Windows system. Sias exclude *:\microsoft uam volume\* exclude *:\microsoft uam volume\* exclude *:\microsoft uam volume\...\* exclude *:\microsoft uam volume\...\* exclude *:\...\ea data. sf exclude *:\...\pagefile.sys exclude

Re: Win2K Excludes

This is what I use for my W2K servers. We do not use Novell so I am not sure what additional items you might have to add. We also do a backup of the systemstate using ntbackup as a presched job. We have found that the systemstate backup is more comprehensive that the system object backup on W2K

Re: Win2K Excludes

I just use the default ones in the dsm.smp file that comes with the install. Works fine. I may add a few things for the specific application that is running on system, but basic excludes work well. David B. Longo System Administrator Health First, Inc. 3300 Fiske Blvd. Rockledge, FL

Re: Gigabit Ethernet speed

My point here was yes, if you have the CPU on the machines to do it. If you are talking about between a single client and TSM Server, this really only applies to TDP backups that allow multiple node definitions for the threads. This is a long complex discussion. The more common usage is to have
