Is it possible in the event of a disaster to rebuild the Tivoli server on a system

Yes, the server will start terminating sessions at 100%. If this resolves
the issue, it will usually recover, else it will core dump with a LOGSEG
error.

This problem can also be eliminated by performing a

When your recovery log hits 100%, basically one of two things happens.
1. If there is Available Space greater than Assigned Capacity then log will
acquire some of this additional space.
2. When all space is consumed - TSM server crashes! I have had this happen with
3.7.4.0 server on AIX.
The reason I ask the question is because the LTO drives seem to be very slow
compared to the 3590's we have in our other libraries.
See recent discussions about LTO drive microcode and performance.
Also execute q license to see exactly what license
TSM is complaining about.

I definitely agree with Richard that 1.1 GB of RAM is
inadequate. I've always started with a minimum of 2
GB of RAM. In large enviroments such as @ IBM we
rebooted our TSM servers every 30 days via cron.

Philip,
When you set the client to Prompted mode you have to put in a line TCPCLIENTADDRESS
xx.xx.xx.xx
in the Options file on the client.
If the schedule mode is set to prompted thru' option set then we don't have to do
anything.
If not then add another line
SCHEDMODE PROMPTED
in the options
I have thought that if EXPIRE is stopped for any reason, when restarted, it
begins where it left off and goes to completion. The next restart then
goes back to the beginning.

I have found it will contact the last IP address that contacted it from that

No, only marks files inactive. The expire has to compare the status to the
copygroup retention criteria to know what can be purged from the database.
You can manually delete records, but running an expire is easier. Certain
problems can be fixed this way.

Have the folks with EXPIRE problems looked at the actlog for times around when expire
dies?
How about using the QUIE=NO option to gather more info in actlog. THis will at least
show what node is being expired when it stops and if it is the same one each time,
this will help narrow the areas

A circumvention would be to run the expire inventory via a
scheduled admin command and then schedule a cancel expiration
for the expiration process a few hours later. Canceling the
process will set a restart checkpoint for the next time
expiration is run.

Wanda, I have seen this, sort of, and it is expected behavior, working as designed.
When you run expire with duration, or use the 'cancel expiration' command as I do,
the point where expire stops is recorded in the db. When you start it again
it starts at that point and continues either for the
THanks, I will try switching to CANCEL EXPIRATION instead of using DURATION,
and see if that works.
