Re: [EXTERNE] [ADSM-L] CentOS alternative on TSM V8.x?
Hello Zoltan, thanks for the answer... Yes for sure lin_tape drivers is has to be installed on supported kernel, I had a long experience installing them when I worked for IBM, also tried to recompile some free versions. I didn't ear about this distribution but I'll test it... many thanks I'm personally unlucky with the Ubuntu is so different from Redhat fork and have no time yet to learn about it (home in the future). Have a Nice Day.

Re: [EXTERNE] [ADSM-L] CentOS alternative on TSM V8.x?
Hello Luc, thanks for you message :) . I also come form the AIX World and I known how this systems powerful are. Actually I don't have the "privilege" to be on those systems, the covid period require some cost effort to restart the business as before, the question about the OS was about this situation. RedHat is good but for the actual test environment goals to expensive, also without support subscription. Have a nice day.

CentOS alternative on TSM V8.x?
Hello, hope you still enjoy this good backup tool :) . Has anyone try other "unsupported" Linux distribution with TSM 8.1 (more for test environments) than CentOS? I had my system working on CentOS 8 but it's was EOL on last 31 Dec and it's time now to move on. I try several options but I'm no so fun: - return back CentOS 7.1 is still an open option (where the previous test system was implemented support until 2025); - Ubuntu server (officially supported by ISP but "difficult management" on raid SW & HW) and; - open-suse (lot of work-around installing). Hope the forum will bring some ideas. Buona Giornata Maurizio

Hello Leif, thanks for you answer. I'm sorry, I was quite busy in the next time also beause of God vacations. I tried with the image: winpe_x64_TSM8_1_4_1_generic_legacy_boot.iso But I don't came trough... see error files on attached files: output1.txt and 2 I will for sure enconter a TSM Client down level because I use the lates TSM client v8 on my system but altro comme to some restore test. I moved the production as sayed to another server but I will continue to work on this problem because we don't have a restore V8 procedure. It will be great if we can work toghtter ans also with Mail listmember to have some iso working and knows the most error on initial path.

Infrastruktur Universitaet Ulm Zitat von Lance Nakata <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On one host, I recently upgraded the TSM client from 5.4.0.0 to 5.4.1.5. During the next backup run, it proceeded to backup all files rather than just changes. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is a simple client version switch enough to trigger a full backup? I was able to repeat the behavior by reverting back to 5.4.0.0, at which point it again backed up everything. I then ran it again at 5.4.0.0 and nothing was backed up, as expected. Then I upgraded again to 5.4.1.5. Everything was backed up. Ran it again at 5.4.1.5. Nothing was backed up, as expected.

Re: Choosing a TCPPort number.
Hello, for me no... This is the default port used by prompted schedule mode, for me I too confusing... Tecnically is ok but in firewalled environ could be wrong handled, I esperience that!

It looks like using 1501 is a valid choice.

We use 1501 and have no problems. If you are not using the TCPCLIENTPORT, I wouldn't think that it would cause troubles, but I'm no expert. But from client side, if you want to go to the first instance, 1500, or the second, 1501. That is what we've done with no problems whatsoever. But it needs to be hard-coded on both sides. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mcnutt, Larry E.

Initially I was thinking of using 1501, but then I discovered that 1501 is the default for the TCPCLIENTPORT. But the documentation says that if port 1501 is busy, the scheduler will use another available port. Would using TCPPort 1501 possibly work, but not be a recommended practice? Are there other numbers to avoid for this choice? Thanks, Larry McNutt The Timken Company - This message and any attachments are intended for the individual or entity named above.
