Question about the Move NODEDATA Command

2004-06-09 Thread Copper, Steve
Hi All, Hopefully a quick question, if I perform a move node data command for a client in the primary storage pool, and it moves all the data onto one tape in that storage pool, will this change be written out to the copy storage pools? i.e will the copy storage pools, after doing a backup of the

Hi Arnaud! The location Daniel pointed you to doesn't seem to be really up-to-date. I asked IBM the same question a few days ago and I just received an answer. The most recent library firmware is 2.19 for a library with the multi-path feature, 1.38 for a library without the multi-path feature.

I think you only need install License files as part of TSM server installation package from original base (4.1.0) CD, which are not part of downloadable server patches and updates. Don't install other server code from CD, but licenses only. I had never installed HPUX TSM server, but I think that

Reclamation data loss scenario

Upgrading AIX TSM server

Upgrading from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2 is a minor change, and is what IBM considers a level increase. From my System/370 days, I remember that IBM classified its software products as Release.Version.Level, so TSM falls in this category. We have upgraded our TSM Host Server from 3.7 to 5.1.9 and it

you could also declare the corrupted volumes destroyed after you have restored your db. Then you restore your storagepools from your copystoragepools and everything is fine again. True you have lost whatever was backed up after your last backup of your storagepools, but that should be less then 24

OK, #1 below wouldn't work either without bringing offsite tapes back! Yes. Keep in mind that MOVE NODEDATA is not very useful for offsite copypools, since it requires the copypool-volumes to be onsite and available. (It doesn't work like e.g. MOVE DATA does, which gets the files from the primary

Yeah you would think this is easy unless I'm missing something ... MOVE DATA works properly for offsite data - ie if you issue a move data for a volume that is offsite, it will move the data to another volume in the same copy pool using the primary storage pool as input. Why does MOVE NODEDATA

One thing that appens during that time is that the TSM server is downloading directory entries to the client, to sort through and decide what to back up. With millions of entries (which it appears you have), it can take awhile. We had a situation with a terribly fragmented DB, where this pause
