help exporting client node to an other tsm instance
I have 2 TSM server instances, I need to EXPORT a client node from instance A to instance B . Not sure what will happen to my file retention, backup versions since the 2 instances have very different mgmtclasses. TSM server 5.4.2.0, \tsm client 5.4 Is the Policy Domain Name going to be a concern ? thanks, Gary
tsm window cluster services manual or automatic.
hi We have successfully installed tsm client 5.3.3 on a windows cluster environment + it is going well except for one small scheduling issue. I set the tsm service(s) client acceptor, tsm scheduler service startup type=MANUAL for all the cluster nodes. For the purpose of failover I thought this was the way to go. EXAMPLE: Client machine#1 goes down for x reason the resources shift to one of the other available nodes in the cluster. My schedule will run on the node that currently has the resource assigned. PROBLEM: If we are installing window patches + we reboot a node (the tsm schedule services are not automatically restarted, We end up with missed schedule. Can we run tsm window cluster backups with all the nodes (physical, virtual) TSM services running in automatic mode ? (what is the negative). ps: I'm using schedmode = prompted Gary
tdpsql client 5.3 is it compatible on 32bit windows OS ?
Anyone I am in the process of installing tdpsql client on windows 32bit machine. The install was easy for 5.2.1.6 It is a completely different story when I try to install tdpsql client 5.3.3 on windows 32bit. Is it compatible on 32bit or does (tdpsql client 5.3) only run on 64bit windows ? You will never quess how many times I tried to reinstall. Gary

exclude C:\ADSM.SYS\ASR
hello list TSM client(5.3.4.0) running on win2003 tsm incremental backup fails when trying to backup C:\ADSM.SYS\ASR ANS1468E Backing up Automated System Recovery (ASR) files failed. No files will be backed up I realize that the ADSM.SYS\AS is part of BMR For daily incremental backup of this machine should a simple exclude statement in the DSM.OPT do the trick or should my daily incremental backup be able to take a backup of this path. I'm reluctant to EXCLUDE the directory only to find out latter that changes were made + I do not have a copy. Gary
tsm changed DOMAIN statement
TSM users Im using TSM 5.3 client on an win2000 machine We have 2 backup schedules running on this client. TSM SQL backup sched + a flat file backup. In the flate file backup rather than using exclude.DIR to ignore(skip over the SQL data) I have recently updated the DOMAIN statement to point only to the drives that do not have SQL data. question: What will happen to SLQ data that may have found it's way into the backup on previous flat file backups. With this recent change to the DOMAIN statement will I end up with orphan data or will it mark the data for deletion. Gary

No, there are no command line parms to do what you want.

tsm restore to different node using TSM GUI
Hi Everybody, I am running an old client level of tsm (5.1.6) for netware 6 sp5 TSM server aix 5.2.0 tivoli storage manger 5.3.0 When using the TSM gui I direct my restore destination to local attached volumes.(basically I am restoring back to the original location). Question: How can I take advantage of the option to restore to network (restoring to a different node using the TSM GUI). Presently this option is greyed out in the TSM gui thanks, Gary

Re: Novell backups
hi The battle continues with the slow running tsm backups for netware. -tsa is set at...20, no caching (any higher causes the backup to fail). -The SAN is at raid 5 (7 disk, 1P) -San disks are each 72Gb -FC disks -1gb FC connections -Host bus adapter was the 1st thing we updated -Our backup window is tight, We have several large tsm backup running at the same time.

In the sys:\etc\sms\tsa.cfg file, check these settings... Enable Caching - should be no. tsm client already does read-ahead caching, the tsa caching is redundant. Cache Memory Threshold - should be set to as high as you can get away with. 25% is the max. If backups give you errors with it set this high, I usually move down in increments of 5% until errors stop happening. To make the above changes take affect, you'd have to unload dsmcad, run smsstop, then reload everything. To continue on with Duane's line of thinking, make sure that the hba's in your server are at the latest firmware/driver versions. There's also a post sp5 NSS patch available (nw6nss5c). Also, since it's san-attached, how many other servers are attached to this san, and could some of them also be running backups (or other things) at the same time?
