SQL to find all NT nodes with V5.2.2.0
Hi Folks, I'm trying to list all NT nodes with TSM Client V5.2.2.0 from the server. I have tried: select node_name,platform_name,client_version,client_release,client_level from nodes where client_version = 5 and client_release = 2 and client_level = 2 and platform_name like 'WinNT' but it didn't work, please give me some hints.

Beside that, after export, I put again the tape in ReadWrite status and I coud move the data to storage pool. How could I investigate if some tapes have problems before export? Your best bet would be a review of the Activity Log, which would show TSM having problems with tapes - or drives. It may be that a marginal tape drive is screwing up the Export, and that will show up in the Activity Log as well as OS logs like the AIX Error Log (errpt cmd). Your info above indicates that your tapes seem fine, so a drive problem could be causing the exasperating termination of the long-running Export. If you can identify such a drive, do a Vary Off to keep it out of the line-up. Richard Sims

I want to ask, if somebody has system with similar sizing in production and if these values (I mean low load affect of expiration process) seems OK, or what si your expiriences with expirations. Am I supposed to find some bottlenecks in filesystem/OS/TSM settings? Or is this fenomen caused by size of TSM environment and is it normal?
