Abdullah, this is the way TSM works. Old versions of files are beeing expired leaving holes on tapes. Look at A0007 maybe a week later, it will not be 100% full any more. Once there are too many holes on a tape it will be reclaimd (the data left copied to another tape) so that it is fully free

Hiya, I think I can see what you are trying to get at, but what I am curious about is whether the 20MB/s from your disks is due to a physical SCSI bus restriction, eg your disks are all attached on one 20MB/s SCSI bus, or whether your 20MB/s is a speed you've seen through some monitoring tool,

Hello Patrick, as far as I know TSM maintaines single I/O queues for each volume. That said, with 2 migration processes running concurrently you will have up to 2 I/O on tapes at one time (one per drive), thus allowing for maximal throughput - if the rest of the system allows :-) As for how it

Hi Robert, I have never moved a TSM server from NT4 to a Win2X OS, so I can't say for sure, but it's probably the difference in OS that caused your problem. We have moved TSM servers from AIX to Windows, and even though we did EXPORT/IMPORT for all the client data, we had to reset all the

TSM writes data on the tape until it hits the physical end of tape. At THAT TIME, the volume status is FULL and the PCT UTIL is 100%, But as old versions of backup files (inactive copies) expire, or you delete a filespace, then the amount of VALID data on the tape drops. So on A00011, .2 % of

Hi Tony, The element number is the internal address of the library components (slots, drives, I/O door, etc.) The software uses those element numbers when it issues SCSI commands to the robot. They are fixed by the manufacturer, and you really have no choice in the matter. Two libraries with
