Re: Open File Support v5.2.0.1

I guess your not understanding the questions. I never enabled open file support, the TSM installation process did this on it's own without even determining if I wanted open file support. But after the installation of the code we did reboot. -- Joshua S. Bassi IBM Certified - AIX 4/5L, SAN

Re: moving TSM from NT4 to Win2000

One thing you will be able to do once you are on W2K is to update the TSM servers TCP/IP window size to 128. NT 4.0 could only handle a window size of 63. This should increase backup/restore performance. -- Joshua S. Bassi IBM Certified - AIX 4/5L, SAN, Shark Tivoli Certified Consultant -ADSM

Re: Vista Database 3.64 is supported by TSM?

I have not run into this database. Typically what most customers do when the application doesn't support hot backups, which this one does not, is to have TSM bring down the application with a prescheduled command and then start it back up with a post-scheduled commands. -- Joshua S. Bassi IBM
