TSM4.2 + 3583 setup
Hi, I will try the following steps to configure the IBM 3583-L18 (2 drives LVD) library attached to Intel server (Windows 2000 server SP2) via SCSI. The HBA (Host Bus Adapter) is the Adaptec 29160LP LVD. Any review is very welcome. 1) I install the IBMUltrium.Win2k.exe downloaded from IBM web-site. The latest version of the drivers is 5.0.2.4. I install the these drivers for the charger and the drives. I think its mandatory to install the IBMUltrium driver for the charger. In the step number 8, I tell TSM to use the TSM device driver for the charger!! 2) I disable the RSM 3) I test the library via NTUtil tool. I can find this tool in the installation directory created by IBMUltrium.Win2k.exe 4) I install the TSM server 5) I install the TSM licenses 6) I install the TSM backup/archive client 7) I install the TSM device driver 8) Via MMC (Microsoft Management Console) I tell TSM to use the IBMUltrium Drivers for the drives and to use the TSM device drivers for the drives 9) Only now I can: define library ... libtype=scsi device=lb1.2.3.4 . define drive ... device=\\.\tape0 etc. etc. Thank you vary much for your kind attention.

Hi everybody, My current config is: AIX 4.3.3 on a IBM H70 Enterprise Server IBM7337 library (15 slots, 2 DLT7000 drives) TSM v 3.7.3 I will be upgrading towards TSM v 4.2.1. The quick start quide states that TSM device definitions will not be saved during the migrate install. How do I define the library again after the upgrade. The current config of the library in TSM is: q lib f=d Library Name: LIB7337 Library Type: SCSI Device: /dev/lb0 Private Category: Scratch Category: External Manager: Shared: No Primary Library Manager: Secondary Library Manager: Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN q drive f=d Library Name: LIB7337 Drive Name: DRIVE1 Device Type: DLT Device: /dev/mt0 ON LINE: Yes Element: 116 Allocated to: Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN Last Update Date/Time: 08/01/00 15:11:47 Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): NONE Library Name: LIB7337 Drive Name: DRIVE2 Device Type: DLT Device: /dev/mt1 ON LINE: Yes Element: 117 Allocated to: Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN Last Update Date/Time: 08/01/00 15:11:57 Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): NONE The output of lsdev -Cc tape and library is: # lsdev -Cc tape rmt0 Available 10-70-00-4,0 Differential SCSI DLT Tape Drive rmt1 Available 10-70-00-5,0 Differential SCSI DLT Tape Drive smc0 Available 10-70-00-6,0 IBM 7337 Tape Medium Changer # lsdev -Cc library lb0 Available 10-70-00-6,0 Tivoli Storage Manager Library What must I do to redefine TSM device definitions?

Re: TSM 4.2.1 and oracle
Andy, Even a backup with the TDP requires basic Oracle dba knowledge. I suggest that you discuss it with your Oracle dba how you are going to backup the database (and how you'll perform restores).

TSM server migration
Hi, please suggest me the safest and fastest way to migrate the TSM server from an old AIX server (B50 model) to an new AIX server (B80 model). My actual scenario is working on AIX server (B50 model): 1) TSM server v4.1.4 on AIX 4.3.3 (ML 08) 2) the db volumes are in the file system /tsmlocal (internal disks). 3) the log volumes are in the file system /tsmstore (external disks, EMC symmetrix FCP raid1) 4) the data volumes are in the file systems /tsmstore and /tsmsymbk (externel disks, EMC symmetrix FCP raid1) The future scenario should work on AIX server (B80 model): 1) TSM server v4.1.4 (or 4.2) on AIX 4.3.3 (ML 08) 2) the db/log volumes in the internal disks 3) the data volumes are at the external disks (EMC symmetrix FCP raid1) Thanks Paolo Nasca Cleis Technology srl Via E.

To map or not to map - that is the question
Hello, *SMers! We've been using an NT Server to backup a bunch of network drives that are mapped from a Network Appliance filer. When this was setup a couple of years ago, the admin decided to leave the system 'locked' instead of logging out so the mappings wouldn't disappear on logoff. He then added explicit 'DOMAIN' statements representing the drives in the dsm.opt file. I see two ways of cleaning this up so we can logoff the console and not worry about it. 1. Put PRE/POST command files that map and unmap the drives before/after the backup so the drive letter references in the DOMAIN options stay current. 2. With the documentation I read in the 4.2 NT client, I wondered if I could simply add UNC paths to the dsm.opt file in the form of 'include' statements that directly reference the share I want backed up. For example: \\remote\c$\include\file.out versus r:\include\file.out Any other suggestions? Many thanks, Dylan mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

You may need to change the service account that the Scheduler service runs under, allow the Scheduler service to interact with the desktop, and give that user the right to 'logon as a batch job'.

Domino SQL archive
Question: How can you archive, for long term storage, TDP for Domino and TDP for SQL server data? Currently those TDPs don't use archive copygroups. So if you want to monthly archive this data and keep it for 10 years, how would you do that? Would a backupset work? And if I create a backupset would it require 2 tape drives? Currently this customer only has one (I know, I know, he needs more). Thanks. Jeannine Walter mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
policy domain suggestion
A client asked me to create the following policy domain: The incremental backup of every night has the copy group *) Versions Data Exists = nolimit *) Versions Data Deleted = nolimit *) Retain Extra Version = 33 *) Retain Only Version = 33 The backup of the Friday has to be retained for 4 weeks. The backup of the first of every month has to be retaind for 13 months. Is the policy domain achievable? Do you have any suggestion to realize the policy domain? Every suggestion is welcome. Every review is much more welcome. Paolo Nasca Cleis Technolgy srl Via E.

private volume returns into sctatch?
Hi everybody, My environment is TSM 5.1.1.6 on a Win2k server. I take every day a full TSM db backup to a private tape volume. The tapes are checked in as private. However, the past week it happened twice that a database tape was allocated in the storage pool for the backup of the clients. If I check the activity log, it says indeed Scratch volume DB_MON is now defined in storage pool SSL_POOL1. I've checked in the tape with a status private, but somehow it was returned as being scratch. Am I'm missing something here? When I perform the command 'checkin libv ssl2020 search=bulk status=private', the tape is checked in as private and it shouldn't return to a status scratch. Has anybody else experienced the same behaviour? Thanks in advance, Kurt
upgrade TSM client
Hi, What is the proper way to upgrade TSM clients (TSM 3.7.x and TSM 4.1.x clients on Windows and TSM 4.1.x client on HPUX) 1. Just install the new client over the old version 2. Uninstall first the old client. What about the client config files (dsm.opt, inclexcl files and dsm.sys). Remain they intact or copy them first to another location. And what about the TSM client schedular service: just stop it or should it be uninstalled first prior to the uninstall of the BA client). Install now the new version. And if necessary copy the config files again and start the schedular again. Test the connectivity by launching the BA GUI. And the same question for the TDP's of MS SQL and the TDP for Informix on HPUX. The upgrade process for the server is well discussed in the installation guide, but I don't find this information for the B/A client. Thanks, Kurt
Re: include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
Tivoli Storage Manager evaluates all exclude.dir statements first (regardless of their position within the include-exclude list), and removes the excluded directories and files from the list of objects available for processing.

Re: anyone using ATA disk systems

You can specify a maxsize parameter on a stgpool that a client will use but this isn't used by subsequent migrations. This works if I want my client backing up to tape directly - but I don't want that - not enough tape drives! Is there anyway that this could be done? IE. Initially backup everything to DISK - then basically control migration or Move Data based on size of files. Or is this just whacky thinking?! Thanks, Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg
Re: anyone using ATA disk systems
So how are people using (planning to use) large disk pools (either random or FILE - with or without Sanergy)? Migration's one process per node seems to limit the usefulness of the large disk pool to implement disk to disk backup. A large disk pool appears useful for: 1) Large number of nodes with small to medium size backups (small, medium, large and huge are dependent on your hardware) and you migrate to tape. 2) Disk pool is large enough to contain all primary backup data and you do no migration to tape. A large disk pool does not appear useful for: 1) Small number of nodes with large to huge size backups. TDP nodes would be a good example of this (our case). Is there some work-around for this migration issue?

Going from single TSM server to multiple servers
We currently have a TSM server (5.1.7.2) with around 20 clients using LAN-free (storage agents) and a greater number of clients backing up across the LAN. All the clients are Unix. We have two 3584 tape libraries with fibre attached LTO2 drives. We are planning to install a second TSM server (5.3) to backup mainly Windows' clients and will have both LAN and LAN-free clients. I understand that the library manager must be at the highest level of any library client. Currently, the 5.1 server is both a data manager and the library manager (it being the only server g). I am thinking of adding a third TSM server (5.3) which would be ONLY the library manager. The other two servers would be the data managers and library clients. This would give me flexibility in upgrading. Reading the Admin Ref, Admin Guide and the SAN guide, I understand how to set the configuration up from scratch. Questions: 1) how do I go from my current configuration to my desired configuration? 2) how does DRM work in the new configuration?

Re: managing space
One of my biggest problem is that I have 2 mailstore to backup and that's a lot of data. With ultrium2 I need a lot of tape Data changed in 2 days is about 800 -1000 Gb. So, I need a full backup once at 1'th date of the month that will be keepd 2 years and rest a rewritable backup at 1st ,3th and 5th day of week. Roger Deschner a scris: Hello. This is not the way that TSM works. You need to understand the TSM system of progressive backups, where a file is backed up only once. If it never changes, it is never backed up again. Every day, only the files that change get backed up. The TSM Database keeps track of all this, and allows you to do a complete restore if you need to, getting each file from the tape it was written to. I suggest looking in the manual TSM Administrator's Guide which you may be able to find in your own language for easier reading. There is an English copy at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp. You have two separate backup requirements. One is the normal working backups. Instead of weekly overwrite and so on, you need to set these up with 7 inactive copies, keep inactive copies for one month, and use normal TSM progressive backups. You will find that normal TSM progressive backups are MUCH faster than overwriting a full backup every 2 or 7 days, use a LOT less tape, and that it gives you better protection. For fastest restore, these should probably be set up with TSM collocation. Your monthly archive is a separate problem. This should be a TSM archive process, set to be kept for 2 years. This would be a full archive copy. Multiple backups will be written to the same tape, until it is full. The same tape can have backups from different dates on it. This is normal, and it saves tape. The tape will be reused and overwritten automatically when enough of its files have expired that it can be copied to a new one. The default is when it becomes 50% empty. Do not forget that you also need to back up the TSM Database to tape. Hope this helps get you started. It is a different way of working in TSM. You do not have the usual cycle of weekly full backups and daily incremental backups. TSM is very different - you never do a full backup after the first day, because you do not need to. This confuses a lot of people, but once you understand how progressive backups work and how the TSM database keeps track of everything for you, then you will understand how it is really better. Contact your local IBM office and have them order a copy of the TSM Concepts Poster for you. It is free, and it makes of these concepts a lot easier to understand. The poster is IBM publication number SC32-9464-00.

Re: show INVO / BFO export failure
Thanks Richard, I've found it in your Quick ref guide and got the reference to the file that might be causing the problem. It seems that there just is a drive that needs cleaning that is causing the problem during the export. Just cleaned the drives manually again and I'll see how the export runs during the weekend. best regards, Kurt ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm having problems with an export: export server filedata=backupactive devclass=DLTCLASS1 scratch=no volumenames=000376,000384,11 It fails with the following error: ANRD xibf.c(664): Return code 87 encountered in writing object 0.9041218 to export stream.

incremental / selective backup
Hello, Once more a question concerning the 'always incremental' backup behaviour of TSM. I'm examining a TSM setup done by a thirth party and he has done something strange. He performs a selective full backup in the weekend and the normal incremental backups during the week. But if a file A changes on friday and you take a selective backup in the weekend, won't the file A be included in the incremental backup on monday as well? Or is the incremental backup compared to the latest backup (incremental or selective)? I'll switch to an 'incremental' only backup, as this is how TSM was setup. But still wondering about the incremental backup compared to the selective backup. best regards, Kurt

Storagetek L180
Hello, I've got a TSM server version 4.1.2 running on Windows2000. The library is a Storagetek L180 with three DLT8000 drives. The customer will change two of the drives with SDLT320 drives. 1. Does TSM 4.1.2 support already SDLT320 drives or is an upgrade to TSM 5.2.x required. 2. How about two SDLT drives and 1 DLT drive remaining in the same library. Do you've got to setup a library of mixed media and does this give any advantage? The SDLT can still read DLTIV tapes so I don't really need it. 3. Migration from DLT to SDLT tapes. I would make sure that the new backups goes directly to SDLT tapes and move then the data written on DLT tapes to SDLT tapes. Any guidelines are more then welcome. Thanks in advance, Kurt

We are building new TSM server and would like to go with above versions. Any feedback (positive or negative) would be appreciated. Thanks, fred
DLT and SDLT drives in Storagetek L180 library
Hi, I'll upgrade a TSM server 4.1.2 to TSM 5.2.1.1 running on Windows 2000 SP2. The library is a Storagetek L180 with 3 DLT7000 drives. Two DLT7000 drives will be replaced with SDLT320 drives. I would like to use the remaining DLT7000 drive to take the daily full TSM database backup. Can this be configured in TSM and how must it be done? How do you tell TSM that the SDLT drives must be used for SDLT tapes and the DLT7000 drive for DLTIV media? In the storage pool definition, the device class is specified but I don't retrieve the device classes in the library / drive / path definitions? The robot arm will be used for both type of drives. Any input how this must be setup is more then welcome. best regards, Kurt Beyers
TSM Netware 4.11
Hi, A customer has currently TSM server 4.1.2 running on Win2K. This will be upgraded to TSM server 5.2.x He has also Netware 4.11 clients with a TSM client 4.1.2. Can a TSM Netware 4.1.2 client still connect to a TSM 5.2 server (on Win2k)? Any higher TSM clients (as of TSM 4.2.x) do not longer have Netware 4.11 as supported OS, so it would require a OS upgrade first. Or does a TSM 4.2 client still run on NW 4.11? regards, Kurt Beyers

Why do you use the ' |tee ' ?
What about the user-rights of the script.

Re: Rapid DB Growth
Hi, maybe you have backed up a lot of files e.g all the lotus databases or some other server. Maybe there have been some fileright changes on a big directory tree. Thats just a small click on the clientside but causes TSM to backup a lot.

Backing up 3-10TB Oracle database
To: People with TSM and Oracle DBA experience AIX: 5.2 TSM (server and storage agent): 5.1.7.2 TDP: 5.2.0.0 B/A Client and API: 5.1.6.7 Problem: We will soon have a 3TB DB growing to 6-10TBs in the future. I am trying to determine a backup method for this data. Most (80-90%) of the data never changes. Backups are done Lanfree. I have read the RMAN manuals (and understood some of them g). Would you please critique the following: (Note: the values and 10 are just examples) 1) One-time setup configure backup optimization on Reason: I believe this will cause Oracle to only backup datafiles which have not been backed up before. I am hoping this also means Oracle will not even read the datafile during backup if it realizes it does not need to back up the datafile. This would greatly reduce the backup time if most of the datafiles are not updated on a regular basis. 2) Do daily backup configure retention policy to recovery window of days backup database Reason: Oracle backs up updated datafiles AND datafiles last backed up BEFORE THE RECOVERY WINDOW. It does this because other backup products can not manage tapes like TSM can. With TSM, there is no need to backup these datafiles again. By setting the recovery window to a large value I am hoping most of the data will not need to be dumped or even read on a daily basis. 3) Daily cleanup configure retention policy to recovery window of 10 days delete obsolete Reason: Oracle will delete data not needed to do a point-in-time for the last 10 days. Basically, this would be old versions of datafiles updated in the last 10 days, archive logs and other things I know nothing about g. I have NO experience doing DBA functions for Oracle. So, this is probably all just wishful thinking. I can find no references to anyone doing this - so it probably will not work - but I thought I would ask why it does not work. I do not have DBA experience or privileges so I am not able to test this on my own. So, any help would be greatly appreciate. If someone is already doing this and has a method and is willing/able to share... Thanks, Fred

Re: Insufficient number of mount points
While TSM is trying to migrate from one the disk storage pool to tape storage pool the q request returned: ANR8346I QUERY REQUEST: No requests are outstanding. and the q mount continues to show: ANR2034E QUERY MOUNT: No match found using this criteria. Should not the QUERY REQUEST display that there is a pending mount request? Hi Do a q request to see wether or not you have a mount request in TSM. Normally with a tape library of type manual, TSM will issue a mount request for you to manually mount the tape in the tape drive. After you have mounted it, you should execute reply X where X is the mount request number. If you dont do a reply, q mount will not return the tape, as TSM is waiting for you to reply to the mount request.

Re: Insufficient number of mount points
Should the TSM Server record something in the activity log when the tape is ejected or inserted in the tape drive? Even with a tape into the tape drive the q mount returns: ANR2034E QUERY MOUNT: No match found using this criteria. This indicates that TSM doesn't know about the tape in the drive, suggesting that either it didn't put it there (as in independent action by an operator) or that it thought that an action like a dismount actually occurred but really didn't, due to a drive problem. Look back in your TSM Activity Log for the volume name which you found in the drive and see what transpired then; or the last action TSM knows it performed on that drive. Look for device errors in your OS error log. You may need the drive serviced, or have its microcode updated so that it behaves better. In the mean time, get that tape out of the drive and return it to its storage cell so that it can be properly used in upcoming operations. You may need to update the volume's status in TSM to make it available for use, as the library may have flagged it as misplaced.

Re: Insufficient number of mount points
Can I consider this a normal behavior for a manual libtype? Or should I do something more to put the volume in the library online inventory or change the volume mode to online? Hi As you are using a libtype of manual, your library wont have any volumes in its on-line inventory. Therefore, executing q libvol will not show you the volumes you have labeled. As soon as you have labled your volume, the volume will be ejected from the tape drive. That means, that the volume will not be in on-line mode.

Another problem is that because the server goes down unexpectedly, TSM is likely to have a corrupted database, and when you get the server to run OK, you should do an AUDITDB on your tsm.

upgrade from TSM 4.1.3 to TSM 5.1.5
Hi, I'll be upgrading soon from a TSM 4.1.3 server to TSM 5.1.5 server(if I can get the CD's from somewhere or download it) on Windows 2k. I've read the post of Johnn D. Tann where he states that it went fine. Here is a copy/paste of his message: Here's the conceptual overview of what we did -- obviously, tailor it for your environment: 1) stop TSM from doing anything (disable sessions, nomigrrecl, disablesched) 2) delete SYSTEM OBJECT (helps speed up cleanup backupgroups later on) 3) full db backup 4) stop TSM Server 5) copy dsmserv.opt, dsmserv.dsk, volhist, devconfig to a safe place 6) install new version from CD 7) patch to 5.1.1.6 (Tivoli website) 8) reboot 9) start TSM (again w/ disable sessions, nomigrrecl, disablesched) 10) cleanup backupgroups 13) restart TSM (sessions enabled, uncomment nomigrrecl/disablesched) I'm getting confused about the cleanup backupgroups thing as there seem to be some problems with it. Why do you need to do a 'delete system object' prior to the upgrade and what is the command for it? Johnn says it will speed up the cleanup backupgroup later on the TSM 5.1.5 server. What does this command do (don't find anything in the reference quide)? Are the issues that there were with 'cleanup backupgroup' (it was running as a foreground process and took forever) fixed in 5.1.5? Any other issues I might expect? Thanks, Kurt
Re: upgrade from TSM 4.1.3 to TSM 5.1.5
I'm not too sure about the whole cleanup backupgroups myself. I understand that Tivoli has re-done the way the database handles Windows SYSTEM OBJECTS. So if you don't delete them, then the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS, as I understand, cleans that up for you Is this change in system object storage somewhere discussed. I don't find anything about it anywhere (except in the ADSM discussion group). So either you delete the system objects prior to the upgrade (with the risk that you don't have a backup of the system objects till the next backup of the clients) or either you use the 'cleanup backupgroup' after the upgrade so that the system objects backed up in TSM 4.x can be restored in TSM 5.x. Or thus the 'cleanup backupgroups' just deletes the system objects as well? And in that case, why don't ITMS tells you to delete the system objects prior to the upgrade? Kurt Is this
Re: BCV Backup Procedures
I'll have to do a similar setup in the near future. All the BCV volumes will be mounted on the TSM server and then backed up to the LTO library. In the dsm.opt client file, the different drives (where the BCV's will be mounted) are bound to the correct management class. What happens if one of the mounts of the BCV volumes fails? Then there is a drive specified in the dsm.opt file that doesn't exist. Anybody knows what happens in such a case? Can you mount the BCV volumes as a pre-exec command of the backup and umount them as a post-exec command of the backup? Any sharings in the backup of BCV's through TSM are more than welcome. Thanks, Kurt ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are working on automating the backup of EMC BCV's (3 NT/Oracle hosts) which are mounted to a NT server(dedicated to mounting bcv volumes and running the TSM backup client).

diskXtender TSM
Hi, I'm testing the OTG DiskXtender solution integrated in TSM to allow for HSM on Windows systems, but I'm having some problems to configure it. I want to migrate the files directly to tape and that seperate tapes are used for migration and backup. So I've created a new sequential storage pool (diskXtender) and created a new management class (archive) that uses this storage pool as copy destination in the backup copy group. The modified molicy set was validated and activated. I've created in diskXtender a TSM media service and added a TSM media where I've specified the archive management class as destination. The migration of the files however still goes to the diskpool instead to the diskXtender storage pool. If I take a regular backup where I've specified the management class 'archive', the backup goes to the correct storage pool (diskXtender) on tape. What am I'm missing here in the configuration? The wanted storage pool for migration is bound to the management class specified in the configuration of the TSM media service in diskXtender. So why is he still writing to the disk pool? Thanks a lot, Kurt
OS/400 version 4.2 client
Hi, A client wants to integrate it's AS/400 in it's existing TSM environment (will be upgraded to 5.1.x). I do not have any experience with AS/400 so I want to be sure that the TSM client exists. The operating system is OS/400 version 4.2. Does a TSM client (5.1.x) exists for this OS? On the Tivoli website, they mention OS/400 5.1 and OS/400 as supported platforms for the 5.1.5 client, so I suppose it is fine but I wanna be sure. Thanks, Kurt
Compaq MSL5030L1 MSL5026S2 library
Hello *TSM experts, Are the following Compaq/HP (the new HP) libraries supported by TSM on Windows2000: MSL5030L1 with LTO Ultrium drive MSL5026S2 with SDLT drive They are not yet mentioned on the IBM/Tivoli site, but the merge of the libraries from HP/Compaq (towards the Compaq range) is quiet recent, so I think that the IBM site is not yet updated.

backup primary stgpool to different library
Hi, I would like to check the following. We will have two identical libraries connected via SAN to the TSM server. The second library will be in a different room than the TSM server and the first library. I would like to have the primary storage pool on the first library and the copy storage pools on the second library. Is it possible to have a backup of a primary storage pool residing in library A to a copy storage pool residing in library B? I guess it has to be possible as the two libraries are identical but I want to be sure. Thanks, Kurt

I asked this recently and did not see any responses so I'll try again.
This computer is a Domino server that is also running TDP. That backup
seems to be working fine, however the regular client backup fails daily.
I am getting more info as we speak but I'm told this started happening
after the server was migrated from a VM to a physical server. Seems on
VM there were other problems so it was rebuilt on a physical box.
There are a couple of different messages in the error log and I'm trying
to figure out if they are related or not, it looks like they are. The
information I am finding talks to TSM Client Open File Support backup,
and since I have no access to the server I don't know anything more than
what I have been told, which isn't much more than 'it keeps failing'.
I have not found any info specifically dealing with what I am seeing so
I'm wondering if anyone might have some ideas I can pass along to the
folks managing this box.

TDP Setup for Domino - Please Help
Hi all, I'm having trouble with my setup here, please help... My system is: Solaris 8 Lotus Notes R5 I was asked to setup backup for a newly created notes partition. it is the 5th notes partition on this particular server and on the other four partitions, the backup is running smoothly. I'm new to this stuff, so i follow instructions form ibm: Configuring Data Protection for Domino, on the solaris section.. heres what i did: - run dominstall - make dsm_notes5.opt (option file for this particullar partition) - ask the TSM admin to add my new node - edit dsm.sys (copy param/options of other nodes/partition) well, after all that i seems fine. but if i enter domdsmc commands, iget: ACD5025E PASSWORDACCESS is Generate. Either the stored password is incorrect or there is no stored password. If you do not have a stored password, use of the -ADSMPWD=xxx option will set and store your password. ANS1025E (RC137) Session rejected: Authentication failure so i tried to enter the same command with -ADSMPWD using our password and its OK. it seems that every time i will issue domdsmc command, i will add that option (-ADSMPWD) How will i resolve this? I tried to use dsmc set password nodename notes_server5, (as root) it seems that nodename and notes_server5 are treated as old and new passwords.. when i was asked to enter userid, i just press enter for the default (which is the systems hostname) and enter the password. I play along with dsmc set password command, but still no luck. The WORST thing is, when i tried to query dbbackup on ALL other partitions (domdsmc query dbbackup mail/m*), i now get this error: ANS0282E (RC168) Password file is not available. Very bad! I screwed out! Can somebody help me out and point me into the right direction? Thanks in Advance! Whew!, radismus __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Export node with TDP's ?
1. Does anyone know if export node works with the Exchange TDP? (Win2k3 with Exchange2k3) 2. Instead of running multiple Nodenames on our Cluster servers we are looking for ways of doing monthly backups and keep them for many years while still keeping our weekly backups for only 10 versions. Unfortunately it seems one cannot specify a ManagementClass on the commandline so we cannot use a different MC for this. Any other thoughts?

What TSM records in occupancy and auditoccupancy is the amount of data that comes in to it from the client. If a client is doing compression, TSM records the amount it receives, which is less than if the client didn't compress the data first. If the clients don't do compression, TSM records that it receives larger amounts of data. Then it sends the data out to tape and the tape drive compresses the data anyway, so the amount TSM tells you the client is using is a lot less than the amount of media you need. If you have a mixture of clients compressing and not compressing, it's real hard to get any numbers that are useful, except your RELATIVE numbers from one month to the next are useful; at least you can tell which domain/client is growing the fastest!

Towards speedier Exports
Hi, This might be a stupid question, but here goes. Currently our Monthly Exports take about 4 days to complete mostly I think because of the high amount of files involved.
