Re: INFORMATION ON RUNNING MULTIPLE BACKUPS ON ONE WINDOWS NODE

I have implemented the use of two different nodenames on the same server only because I wanted to have the same node backing up files or databases using a different policy set (and thus different management class). If the data you'll be backing up can follow the same rules then there's no point

These is a TDP Informix backup tape(s). The DBA runs the onbar backup with 3-streams direct to tape over the SAN. He wants to be able to restore the database in the case of a disaster using those same 3-streams. If TSM copies the data to a copypool, then the data will probably be combined onto a

Windows does the device number assignment. According to the doc for the Windows TSM server, you use the TSM SCSI drivers for 3590 drives with a TSM 5.1 server, BUT you must use the Magstar tape drivers INSTEAD of the TSM SCSI driver with a TSM 5.2 server. It's documented in the Getting Started

This is one of the many ways you can do this cross-client restore When you use the -fromenode option, you first need to go to the host that originally backed up the data and run a set access command. Basically, you are telling TSM that this node has access to the data.

That seems to be the issue. When these primary pool volumes contain no data, TSM immediately returns them to scratch. Even though I had them as ACC=UNAVAIL. Then when I did the Q VOL STG=PRODIFX* STATUS=EMPTY I got nothing. They had already transitioned through the EMPTY status back to scratch.
