Hi Pattie,
Thanks for responding. I believe I did a full backup the first time and
even did one just now with same errors.

When I first installed TSM, it works for about 3 days doing regular DB
BACKUPs. Something
happens and it won't allow me to mount the tapes and do the backup. I've
installed it now
3 times with the same results.
Respectfully,

You need to do a full backup. And make sure you have available drives when
you start it.

Subject: The old SCRATCH TAPE NOT FOUND message
Hello all,
This is my first time posting a question so please don't confuse my newbie
frustration with my dire hopelessness. We ran Tivoli 3.7 Server on AIX
before I came to this office. It was working fine till "the crash and
burn". The log files filled up and TSM stopped and couldn't be started.
Since 3.7 was NOT supported by IBM anymore we upgraded to 4.1 and did a
"on-phone" upgrade with a Tivoli Support Representative for 2 weeks. It
seemed to work fine till it started the "cannot backup the Database"
messages in the log files because it couldn't mount the scratch tape it had
put the daily DB backup on for the 1 week after the new install. I did a
total new install again of 4.1 and got it working again for the last week.
The daily DB backup was working fine again till 3 days ago when the same
messages came up again. I know it is about to crash and burn again any day
now due to this.
The server is an IBM RS/6000 H70 running AIX, which is working fine, plus
an
IBM LTO Ultrium 3580 tape drive and 3583 Tape Library supporting 36 LTO
tapes. It is backing up clients fine now and is using tapes perfectly for
pool migration. Below is some info:
Storage Device Estimated Pct Pct High Low Next
Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Migr Mig Mig
Storage
(MB) Pct Pct Pool
----------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ---- ---
-----------
ARCHIVEPOOL DISK 4,000.0 0.0 0.0 90 70
BACKUPPOOL DISK 72,000.0 42.8 42.8 70 50 TAPE
SPACEMGPOOL DISK 4,000.0 0.0 0.0 90 70
TAPE ULTRIUM1 3,601,156. 14.7 36.1 80 60
When the backuppool reaches 70%, it migrates to the TAPE pool perfectly. It
is the DB BACKUP that is killing me. Here is my DAILY BACKUP COMMAND that
is
issued everyday at 7:00 am.
BACKUP DB dev=Ultrium1 type=INCREMENTAL scratch=YES wait=NO
Like is said...this worked fine for like 3-4 days, but now I get this
message like every hour for the DB.
06/05/02 09:22:44 ANR2121W ATTENTION: More than 306.012 MB of the
database
has changed and the last database backup was more
than 24
hours ago. Use the BACKUP DB command to provide for
database recovery.
And when I try the DB BACKUP command now I get these messages in log:
ANR0984I Process 112 for DATABASE BACKUP started in the
BACKGROUND at 09:54:21.
06/05/02 09:54:21 ANR2281I Incremental database backup started as
process
112.
06/05/02 09:54:21 ANR0609I BACKUP DB started as process 112.
06/05/02 09:54:23 ANR1405W Scratch volume mount request denied - no
scratch
volume available.
06/05/02 09:54:24 ANR4578E Database backup/restore terminated -
required
volume was not mounted.
06/05/02 09:54:24 ANR0985I Process 112 for DATABASE BACKUP running in
the
BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE
at
09:54:24.
It seems like it can't find the original tape that it did the DB BACKUP on
the first few days. I know which tape it did this on but I can't get it to
go get it and mount it again. When my DB fills up, my TSM will crash again
and won't let me start it up again on server using dsmserv.
Anyone have any help or thoughts?
