Hi list,
First, a happy new your to you all!
Just before christmas we changed our setup a bit to facilitate backup of a
Domino server running on AS/400, utilizing BRMS and the TSM API as the
backup client. We have verified that BRMS can contact the TSM server, and
also verified that backup runs

- 3590B drives have data rate 9 MB/s native, 27 MB/s with IBM
claimed 3:1 compression;
- 3590E/H have 14 MB/s native, 42 MB/s with IBM claimed 3:1

with better compression algorithm);
How are your dbv defined? Are they files or logical volumes? Can you get
in from another server or is all contact into the server hosed? When you
say you are having a problem with a disk what kind of problem are you
having? Is it SCSI, SSA, NAS or SAN attached?

Peter,
I would anticipate the only way to get these drives back online would be
to bounce the TSM server. Having tapes stay at In Use even though
there is no process associated with it would appear to be some sort of a
product defect.
