Re: Copy Stgpool and Migrations

Richard, Simplest way is just to trigger earlier backups of your storage pool. Say you triggered at 2/3 hour intervals during the night by the time your current backup kicked in at 08:00 most of your pool has already been copied, so will finish earlier, almost certainly before your migration.

Basically you have to open a port on the Firewall to allow the IP of the machine outside the firewall to talk to the IP of TSM Server inside via TCP and the port you are using, generally port 1500. And I believe open port 1501 the other way. That's the basic setup. If you are using different

Re: upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2

The only thing to be wary of when going to TSM 4.2, is the issue of having a double zero string in the password file. TSM 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 can not read the password file if the file contains this double zero string. We recently upgraded to TSM 4.2.1.25 and had major problems with passwords.

This is a known issue, and we are working on a solution. For what it is worth, TSM does not *actively* change the last access date; this is a property of how the file system works, that any application that touches a file will update the last access date. Applications that don't change the last
