Re: Unable to complete backup of Window's 2000, client failing with - PrivFindDir: No memory to allocate new DirEntry
I believe you will have to break the backup into chunks and hit a certain number of high-level directories in each backup. Unfortunately if you add another high-level directory you will have to remember to add that directory to a backup schedule.

Re: Normal # of failures on tape libraries
Our remote site libraries are Overland Storage NEO 4200 with 2 HP LTO2 drives. We have a 3584 library (just turned a year old) at HQ and two HP libraries but we are not experiencing the failures with them as we are with the remote libraries. We have had some of our NEOs for almost three years now and we did not have as many failures out of the older ones as we have had from the more recent purchases and upgrades (added a second expansion module to the libraries). After the expansion upgrades we have seen a lot more failures.

We have two OVerland Neo 4100 libraries, one is LTO2 (two LTO2 drives) and the other is LTO3 (two LTO3 drives). The libraries are seperate. TSM has sepearete backup discspool-tape paths for each library. And policy sets are setup accordingly for which clients we want to backup to which library. The LTO3 library is brand new, and we need to move some of the data from the LTO2 library to the LTO3 library. We want to move the data belonging only to certain client nodes. For example, we want the LTO3 library to be collocated, and the LTO2 library will remain non-collocated, and we want to move only a few of the client node data that is currently on the LTO2 library (and the data is non-collocated) to the LTO3 library and have it be collocated. However, I don't see any way to move data just for specific client nodes. I only see how to move data via volumes and spools. Is there any way to move data that is bound to a client node? I have changed the client node policy sets, thus the ones we want to move, any future backups will rebind that client data to the new policy set, and thus any new data will be moved to the LTO3 library, and thus be collocated. But how do I move client data that is still on the LTO2 library? Thanks in advance, Alex

Re: Session limiitation
Rosetta, you have to remember that each sessions consumes memory. My guess is you ran the server out of memory and it cycled. James W.

I did this manually and opened 12 sessions (6 seperate backups). We had MacAfee running and are thinking that the combination of the two caused the Netware Client to reboot.

I thought I could open as many sessions as I wanted since I was going straight to disk and then I would have done the same on the restore. Is there a known limitation on the client for open sessions according to the size of the box or otherwise? Would the backup have caused even remotely the Netware client to reboot?

Re: Session limiitation
Yes, each session on the client takes up client memory and if you do not have enough memory for the amount of sessions you started the Netware box could have ran out of memory. In one of the install docs there is a formula to calculate how much memory you need based on the amount of files on the server. Feel free to email me directly if you like for further discussion.

Re: Who else got 'Job Spam'?
First off I am brand new to this forum (1 week). I have found there are some very helpful individuals out there and I am sure your help is greatly appreciated by the ones asking questions. I did not receive the spam that has been in question. I do not feel that an occasional inquiry to the forum is unacceptable. I would think that actually it would be desirable, it never hurts to see what else is out there. Best of regards, James W.

Bad Tina. It was clearly a form letter, but mail sent to ADSM-L subscribers probing for interest in TSM contracting is hardly indiscriminate spam. If she did even a little evaluation of who to send to, who not... well, those who yelled at her are then dead-wrong, in addition to being rude. When I spoked to Tina, I teased her (politely) about trying to make the form letter seem personal. She was very concerned about the impact of her questions, and wanted to reach likely folks without irritating anyone. I told her to talk to the listmaster: some lists are open to occasional, low-key openings notifications, some lists are rabidly against it. Clearly our readership is too prickly for even a relatively careful, thoughtful, polite probe. So I leave you with two questions: 1) Why are backup admins testy this way? Is this an overflow of the technical paranoia which is our stock-in-trade? 2) If a polite (if somewhat sycophantic) initial contact makes us mad, what kind of contact would be welcome? - Allen S.

Re: URGENT: Why do I need Internet Explorer 5 for the Windows Sto rage Agent???
Dirk, you can stop the Storage Agent Client by routing the HALT command to it since it is a defined server. Regards, James W.

Hello, one of our customers wants to implement a SAN (2x ESS F20, 2 STK 9310, 2 TSM Serves p660, TSNM, FC/9000 directors, etc.) but is not willing to install the Internet Explorer 5 on his Windows servers (for security reasons). He wants to know why the IE5 is necessary for the Storage Agent (SA) and if it's possible to use the SA without it? AFAIK the only reason for the IE5 should be the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) that provides a GUI for the configuration of the SA. But I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to configure the SA just with the command line interface. The only thing I don't know right now is how can I stop the agent via the command line? Does dsmsta have an undocumented command line switch? And do I really have to start it manually every time the system is rebooted or is there the possibility to use dsmcutil to create a service?
