Hey, Nick, missed your name the first time around!

Being in higher-ed/research we went the cheap route and actually just
use direct-attach 15K SAS drives on Dell servers, divvied up into
multiple RAID-10 sets. Even a 1TB database only takes us ~1 hour to
backup or restore, which is well within our SLA.

Hi Mickael,

normally it does, yes. Do you specifically tell the server to use that
certain tape or do you just enter the device class for tape?

Hi Michael,

Really ? my TSM try to do a database backup and fail with this tape (failure to 
excessive write error) and don't put this tape in private just let the tape in 
scratch.
It's for that i search (and found) to put the tape in private^^

Thanks for you reply.
Regards, Mickael.

Hi Mickael,

normally when TSM encounters a bad tape, it marks the tape as private by
itself.

Tape in scratch question

2013-12-23 Thread mik
hi all,

For Grigori Solonovitch, i just come to say what the solution to y probleme i 
have found (if anybody search too) nothing else...

For Michael Roesch, the tape was empty but in default, the tapedriver was not 
near of me so the checkout in this moment was not possible, i use this command 
to say to the tsm for not use this tape (with write error)

Regards, Mickael.

2013-12-23 Thread Michael Roesch
Hi Mickael,

the TSM server does as you have told him. If you want the tape volume to
become scratch, use "status=private". Of course this only works, if the
tape is really empty. Another way could be to delete the contents of the
tape by entering:
del vol "volumename" discarddata=yes

But please make sure you don't need that data on the tape anymore.

Regards,
Michael

You want to have private - you have got private. What is wrong?
