Archive Name

Hi everybody, I would like to schedule monthly archive of different directories I defined my schedule, but I would like to know if it's possible to give this archive a different name than the default one. With the GUI, you can give the name you want, I don't find how to do it with the schedule

DLT TAPE CLEANING PROBLEMS WITH ADSM

Hello *SMers, We are rumming ADSM server version 3, release 1 level 2.50 on a AIX RS/6000 machine. The library used is a STK9710, with 6 DLT 7000 drives. The cleaning facility of the robot has been disabled. In ADSM the cleaning frequency has been set to a triggerlevel of 500 GB. Two

Oggetto: ANR8355E I/O error

Re: DLT TAPE CLEANING PROBLEMS WITH ADSM

Hi Johan, You should make sure that the STK9710 is not also set to clean the drives. I have experienced several failing dismounts from the DLT7000's for cleaningtapes - and others. Most of them are caused by mehanical failures. I use cleanfrequency 'asneeded'. Regards, Carsten Moldrup

Oracle Connect Agent, BACKINT and TSM

Hi *SM-ers! We are about to upgrade all our ADSM clients to TSM 3.7. We also have a couple of clients which are using BACKINT or the Oracle Connect Agent. I cannot find any information about the compatibility of these agents with the TSM clients. The links on the Tivoli pages are not very clear.

Re: Would you buy TSM again.

I sell it and implement it and have probably built 200-300 servers and installed ~1000 clients. I know the product extremely well. I rate it a 9-10. That being said... It is critical that you embrace this different technology and train yourself properly before you start. This is not your

Hi, I would like to define a schedule that make an archive of every file. I can't find the syntax to archive every file of every drive. I try the asterix, with and without backslash, and I can't make it run. Should I list every drive? Or is there a way to specify everything? Thanks for your

9-10 Same position as Kelly J Lipp NOTE YOU MUST IMPLEMENT THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND SPEND THE TIME AND EFFORT TO BE TRAINED ON AND UNDERSTAND THE PRODUCT. I find that those who would give TSM a low rating (including people who know and work with other products and TSM) are those who do not

Re: Would you buy TSM again.

9-10 I am also a TSM architect. I would highly recommend that if you are looking to get the highest rating out of your TSM implementation, that you learn the product inside and out before you begin the implementation. Some of my customers would rate TSM lower than 8 and that is because they

Re: Would you buy TSM again.

I am new to TSM (past 6 months). I went to the basic and advanced TSM classes and found them both very useful. If it wasn't for the classes there are certain things I would have struggled with for too long. The Redbooks and this newsgroup are also very helpful. I feel TSM is extremely

Re: Would you buy TSM again.

Yes we would, with a rating of 9. But to get the whole benefit you should know the features. We still are at ADSM 3.1 but we will migrate to TSM soon. _ Kind Regards Andreas Buser Tel: ++41 61 285 73 21 Fax: ++41 61 285 70 98 Email: [EMAIL

Re: Would you buy TSM again.

A lot of it depends on what you are trying to do. People who really just want a fancier, easy to use dump/restore program are generally not happy with TSM, because it isn't just a dump/restore product. It's more complicated than a dump/restore product, which it should be because it does a lot

Re: Determining Capacity on ADSM?

How do I determine how many physical slots my 3494 library has? mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL | grep cells How do I determine how many tapes are offsite? a) select count(*) from volumes where stgpool_name='BACKUP3590_OFFSITE' (where a storagepool is used for offsite.) b) select count(*) from drmedia

Re: Determining Capacity on ADSM?

Hook up the ODBC driver on your windows system and use access or excel to get the correct data from the tables. Not exactly intuitive at first glance, but gets easier as you fool with it. See the archives for how to set up the ODBC driver... Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc. PO

Re: Determining Capacity on ADSM?

1: Which table contains the data "estimated capacity". I want to create an SQL statement to find out how much average I'm getting out of each tape. VOLUMES. 2: Where can I find a man page for mtlib? (A previous admin removed our man pages). There is no man page. One place it's documented

Any way to see which files are associated to a certain Mgt class? ?

I have a management class that was created a while ago and we are cleaning up things and before we remove this class we want to make sure that there are no files associated to this class. Is there a way in which to see what files, if any, there are backed up to this mgt class?? AIX 4.3.3 ADSM

Re: Would you buy TSM again.

Well I thick TSM is very good it fits most situations so I would give it 9-10. but like most products you ether like it or hate it if so get out. (the Grass is all ways greener onthe other side). We can make a product fit most cases but if it dose not fit yours it is best to get out now, I sure

Re: 3590 Tape Compression

I have seen that before. Try doing the update devclass command with format=3590e-c and I believe that should still work even though it is not listed under the help update devclass cmd. -- Joshua S. Bassi Senior Technical Consultant Symatrix Technology, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original

Re: 3590 Tape Compression

The problem is with the web client. IBM/Tivoli did not update it. I found a PMR on IBMLINK about it. If you use the command line interface, the value is usable. I just went to 3590E devices and have gotten over 71GB on one tape. Tom Melton Emory HealthCare Emory University [EMAIL

Tape Mounts and Disk Pools
