Hello TSMers,
I've got a problem with my space reclamation for virtual volumes. We use
two TSM Servers Version 4.2.2.0 (OS Sun Solaris 2.7). They do
server-to-server communication. When space reclamation starts for the first
reclaimable virtual volume in a storage pool, everything looks fine.

I've been thinking about the time it take s to unload and load a TSM DB.
Depending on the size of the TSM DB it may require TSM to be offline for

I welcome some thoughts about the following steps:-

2) Bring TSM back up to continue

The thing we notice is that on the destination server there's no expiration

Where do your virtual volumes go ??? (straight to tape or first to a buffer
diskpool ???)
If they go straight to tape there is the possibility that your second
virtual volume to be reclaimed ends up being on the physical volume to which
your first reclamation process opened its output volume.
Hello all,

Is this possible without damaging the DB ?

We've moved 8 servers in the past.
Once all done use
Syntax
-Set SERVername--server_name-
to change the name of your running TSM server...
Actually we just had new equipment at the new location and transported a
copy of the DB.
You can also set up a CNAME in DNS to map the old name to the new name. Then
you can change the client files as time permits.

Thanks, Paul, for putting this into a bit of perspective. RAID-5 is,
indeed, not always bad, and the disk tuning parameters can be critical.
I'm going to try something like your vmtune parameters when we move to a

The size is megabytes, not gigabytes.
If it is too small, bump it up. 16MB is the max. But I believe the memory is pinned.
