TapeAlerts on AIX and 3584 library

Hi there, Some time ago, someone mentioned that many TapeAlerts were appearing in the log. Some/many/all of those alerts were weird, in the sense that the error was e.g. that a firmware update failed, while no firmware update was in progress. For some time now (a few months), we're experiencing

Hi Does the storage agent node (_SA) have data within TSM? If not, you need to remove the storage agent node from the TSM server(which shouldnt be a problem, as the node in question is no longer using LAN-free functionality). That should also remove the license requirement. Best Regards

If you're running EFC to manage your zones, you have to add the devices to the zone, add the zone to the zoneset, and activate the zoneset. If you're not running EFC you can verify the zone and members from the command line of the switch. Also, are your switch settings correct for each port?

2004-08-25 Thread Christopher Zahorak
I was wondering if there was a way to export a particular servers filespaces/archives and make them available to another server for restoring if needed. This would be used where data on a server is moved to another server and the first server is taken out of service. Thanks, Chris. Christopher

Hi Christopher! Yes you can. Checkout the EXPORT NODE command for details. If the target node hasn't backed up yet, a rename node (and an additional rename filespace for Wintel nodes) would do the trick. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines -Original Message- From:
