VSS Error
Hi,
I have a TSM v5.5 server running on a Windows 2003 and a TSM v6.1
client running Windows 2008. That has errors during the copy of SystemState
only, file copy is normal.
In dsmerror.log appears the following error message:

Re: VSS Error
I will not apply patches to Windows 2003 on a TSM client running on Windows
2008, even a critical server. How not spotted patches VSS for Windows 2008,
will not apply any correction.
And as posted by the copy of systemstate with vssadmin finish without any
problems which leads to believe that the problem is in the TSM. I tried also
to copy the systemstate with native backup of the Windows 2008 and it
worked.

Problems with VSS are common/constant. Did you apply all the recommended
M$ patches for VSS (no, they don't seem to come in with the regular
service).
Here is a M$ page with various VSS problems described and an update
rollup package for VSS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940349
We backup hundreds of 2K3 servers and any time a TSM/VSS problem pops-up,
it usually goes away with them applying these VSS patches!

Re: VSS Error
Thank you, everything worked properly.
2009/9/29 Tchuise, Bertaut btchu...@lmus.leggmason.com
Bruno,
VSS tends to be fickle at times on Windows system. I have resolved numerous
VSS issues on W2k3 but none on W2k8 so far; the issues lies within Windows
not TSM. You could try the following steps:
** Run the vssadmin list writers then check the state of your writers. If
you have any writers showing failures, restart the COM+ event System
Notification and COM+ System Application, Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft
Software Shadow Copy services.
** Check the writers state once more and run a manual system state backup
with the ntbackup utility. If it runs without issues, then VSS should be
fine and you system state backup will work within TSM.
We tend to get random VSS issues in our environment; after restarting the
services above, we don't get those errors back.
As a last resort, you could re-register you dlls after exporting then
deleting the subscription hive under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216}\
(restarting the services above will create a new subscription hive in the
registry) then
cd /d %windir%\system32
net stop vss
net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
vssvc /register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Good luck.

Re: Tape drive manual
I understand, thank you for the tip and I apologize. I have a small environment where you are using the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5 as the backup server. Using client BA client, TDP TDP SQL and Exchange backup to realize a pool hard disk. The company have a tape drive manual, and the data in the pool of hard fit on a single tape. I need to know how to paste a script running that makes a backup of the hard disk pool and database to a single tape until it exhausted its capacity. I understand that the goal of TSM is to grander comporações but in Brazil it does not mean much when the owner calls the company have to do, even when they possess knowledge about as I do. 2009/9/18 Richard Sims r...@bu.edu You need to get into the habit of providing a good amount of detail in technical questions in order to get a useful answer. In seeing a questions as vague as this, most people are just going to ignore it. For example, you provide no information on what you are using to perform backups (B/A client, TDP, etc.) or what is being backed up. And we're not even sure if you are talking about a backup from the client, or a Backup Stgpool command within the server. Be aware that TSM is an Enterprise level product, where you are not supposed to be concerned with what tapes various data may be on. You don't say why your shop is concerned as to things being on one tape. It should not matter.
