Susie, I figured I would reply direct to you since I am new to TSM and not really sure if this is on target, but here is an article on TOC (and Backup sets) when using NAS backups.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/tivolistoragemanager/Bac kup+set+and+Table+of+Contents+support+in+Tivoli+Storage+Manager+Version+ V6.1 Looks like this problem (IBM reference: IC62418) was fixed w/ interim fixes in 6.1.3.x and 6.1.0.x, but had trouble finding original IBM article. Here is the cached google article for IC62418: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:M_O_nqX7ZIYJ:www-01 .ibm.com/support/docview.wss%3Fuid%3Dswg1IC62418+Reenable+BACKUPSETS,+us e+of+TOC%27s&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a I'm not really sure if this helps you upgrade path problems, but maybe it gets you a little closer.

Environment: AIX 6.1, TSM 5.5.4 We've been backing up a couple of NAS filers via NDMP for around 18 months but recently find that sending the data to a storage pool of 12 500G rlv-formatted disks has been diagnosed by L2 as the cause of occasional problems with the recovery log when it changes volumes -- holding the recovery log too long and crashing the instance. The rlv disk data has been moved off in preparation to rebuild the disks as FILE devclass volumes...but think I remember reading something about TOCs being troublesome/incompatible with that config? Since one of these NAS boxes has millions (literally, I'm told) of small documents -- versions of which are required to be kept forever -- TOC is a a 'must-have' for file level restore, else we would have to restore the whole filesystem, the largest of which has about 5-6TB in use. Is anyone using NDMP writing to file devclass with TOC successfully? (any suggestions on MAXCAP? default is 4M which seems 'small') Side issue: think I heard there's no data export upgrade path for NDMP...'take a fresh full backup' isn't going to work for millions of keep-forever documents...we are planning to move to AIX 7.1 and TSM 6.2.x later this year when the new hardware arrives so this will be upon us soon. Any comments/ideas? Thanks, Susie
