Robin, Great to hear from you!
We are backing up 60 UNIX servers and 220 NT/W2K servers with 15TB of EMC and 1.5 TB of NetApp to two L-Class boxes each with 4 440MHz procs, 12 GB RAM and an ATL P6000 w/16 drive tape library each. TSM 3.7.4 was very stable and our only problem was keeping pace with the rapid increase in new servers. When we went to 4.1, bugs started to crop in and caused stability issues. We've had horrible and frustrating experiences with Tivoli support. In 4.1 we ran into a known bug that corrupted the database. We applied all of the patches required by support (getting us up to 4.1.5) and now we are running into a thread errors. One of the threads will crash and bring down the app. Would it be possible to share the output of swlist ? I'm hoping that there may be a patch that you have already installed that we have not. thanks, mark -----Original Message----- From: Robin Sharpe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 11:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Looking for sites with TSM 4.X running on HP-UX server Mark, We are running TSM 4.1.4.1 on an L2000-5x, HP-UX 11.00. We have an HP 20/700 library with 10 DLT8000 drives, each on its own SCSI bus. We are in the early stages of a SAN implementation (with HP XP512 disk) and have just added 2 A5158A fiber cards to the L2000. At about the same time we installed them, we noticed erratic hangs on the TSM server, which eventually clear up... but the effect on TSM operations has been pretty bad. Just applied some patches to HP-UX about an hour ago... will let you know if it fixes things. What is your specific problem? What is you environment (server, library, etc.)?

We have multiple servers and one is experiencing application issues. We have been in continuous contact with TSM support, but find it very frustrating. We believe it may be a combination of patches on both TSM as well as HPUX. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, mark
