Hi,
I have a 3590 E11 drive shared by 2 RS/6000 servers say server A server B,
running AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 5.1. I have a peculiar problem on this drive.
The ACF magazine has total 10 slots but server A can not access (labeling,
check-in operations are not possible) slot number 7 8 (TSM level
Well, that's a pretty broad question. I am sure someone will get around to
an answer soon.
Here's my piece for what it is worth.
Surprised no one offered 3590 technology!! Price could be it. But the second
hand market is pretty ok. Mind you the sales guy would not make as much then
would he?
Hi All,
How to disable TSM db mirroring? Please help me.
Here is the configuration of my db:
Volume Name (Copy 1) Volume Name (Copy 2) Volume Name (Copy 3)
/tsm/db/db1.dsm /tsm/dbcopy/dbcopy1.dsm
/tsm/db/db2.dsm /tsm/dbcopy/dbcopy2.dsm
/tsm/db/db3.dsm /tsm/dbcopy/dbcopy3.dsm
Hi,
you can delete the copy volumes from TSM with
delete dbvolume /tsm/dbcopy/dbcopyX.dsm
with X as the volume Number.
After Maintenance you can recreate the volumes with the
dsmfmt tool and define the volumes in TSM with :
define dbcopy /tsm/dbcopy/dbcopyX.dsm
I think it's a good idea to do
Hello,
I've got a TSM server version 4.1.2 running on Windows2000. The library is a
Storagetek L180 with three DLT8000 drives.
The customer will change two of the drives with SDLT320 drives.
1. Does TSM 4.1.2 support already SDLT320 drives or is an upgrade to TSM 5.2.x
required.
2. How about

Matt,
Rman crosscheck will only expire those backups that belong to that node
during the RMAN crosscheck. This statement does not belong in the manual,
I am glad that you pointed this out. There is no need for your DBA's to be
concerned that other data is needlessly getting expired.
One of the things I do wen journaled services aren't a option is splitting
the TSM client into 2 or more TSM nodes, each with its own dirs/filespaces.
This brought back-up time for large fileservers down by half.

I am running TSM 5.1.6.1 on AIX 5.1ML3. In the last few weeks it's started

Halting TSM and restarting it seems to fix it for a few days and then it will start
again.
Hey Mark,
Could your TSM server be running out of sessions (as per MAX SESSIONS?) -
perhaps you have tape mounts holding running sessions, (thus holding their
completion for new sessions)?
The prompter will only contact nodes when it has session slots available
during the backup startup window.
