Re: TSM and ASR recovery of Windows 2003 server
Hi Tim, Yes we've seen this problem with our HP servers. What we do is create a slipstream cd with windows 2003, sp1 and the nic card drivers on it.(of course you may be using 2003 G2) We use a useful utility called nlite. It's gui based and is freeware. Another way to get around this problem is to install the nic card drivers from the dos window that you get at the select option 1 for network or 2 for local backupset. The dos window is minimized when you get to this window.

Migrating windows clients to AIX
Hi List, I have the opportunity of moving all my windows clients to an lpar on a P5. We currently backup all windows clients to windows TSM servers. Now what I'm after is how I go about this and move all my data. I'm guessing that I can't just export the TSM DB from the windows server and put it on the AIX server. I know I can do server to server exports, but there's the time involved to do this. I can also just start afresh and let the data expire on the windows servers. Is there anything else I can try.

Label length on 3584 Library
Hi Guys, Anyone know if it's possible to change the label length from 8 to 6 on the 3584 library. The reason I ask is that we are migrating from an HP 712e(lto2) library which has the label length set to 6 and were planning on putting the LTO2 tapes from this library into the 3584 library which has LTO3 drives. If I cant change this them I'm going to have to run the librarys side by side until all the data is migrated.

So for example you already have abcdefg as a node name with a opt file called dsm.opt. Create a second client called abcdefg1 with an opt file called dsm1.opt.
