Hi Dell! No, it's not Lanfree. Is formatting a 500 Mb. database something that should take more than an hour??? Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines -Original Message- From: Del Hoobler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 17:04 To:

Re: restore: sequence of volumes

Thanks for the answer, but ... I know: For a restore the TSM server sorts the files/directories by volumes and position on the volumes. I want to know: Then the restore begins. And now, which volume is processing first, next, ... ? What are the rules for this ? Andreas. Richard Sims

Damaged Label on 3590J

Hi List, I have a 3590J with a damaged internal label. The 3494 library ejects that cartridge when I try to use it. The cartridge has obviously been abused (the case is cracked), but I would like to get the data off of it without having to bring all of my copypool volumes back from the

Re: TDP for SQL restore seems to hang

Eric, I agree that it should not take more than 1 hour to preformat a 500MB database. I would suggest placing a call with IBM Service. They can look at the trace and figure out what is going on. Thanks, Del ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

Re: TDP for SQL restore seems to hang

Hi Del! I will. We discovered that restoring an older backup on this client did work, but when we tried to restore the most recent one again, we saw the same behavior again... I will create a PMR, however, I have to find a pc with IE6 first, because ESR doesn't seem to like my browser version ;-(

Re: Damaged Label on 3590J

Well, it's not the 3494 that causes the ejection, but the application trying to use the tape, which I presume is TSM. It would be worth reviewing its error messages, and any in your OS log, before going further. I'm not aware of any way of rewriting tape labels without disturbing the rest of the

Re: Damaged Label on 3590J

Hi Rich! Yes...it's TSM and Yes TSM rejects the tape. It is interesting to me that it also results in a Intervention on my 3494 Library that specifies a damaged internal label...but that is beside the point (I guess you can chalk one up for the LMCP driver). AnywayI was

SNAPSERVER backups

Anyone have experience/suggestions/thoughts on backing up a Quantum (?) SnapServer via NFS mount attached to a Sun Solaris box ? I don't have all the details, but as I understand it, it has something to do with the permissions and the way the SnapServer authorites are configured. As you can tell

Re: IBM 3583 upgrade to mult-path

We've done this. Essentially, yes it is just a matter of loading the firmware and re-cabling the drives. However, this is not something that you can do yourself--at least we couldn't at the time we purchased the upgrade. The price of the upgrade included an IBM field engineer coming on site

Re: IBM 3583 upgrade to mult-path

No, part of the upgrade is using a utility the CE has to download from an internal IBM site. As a customer I don't have access to it. A utility called DLCONVERT.EXE. This utility loaded the multi-path firmware, converted from SCSI-ID to LUN mapping. Then just re-cable to library like you would a

Re: restore: sequence of volumes

Data from disk storage pools is restored before data from sequential storage pools. Otherwise there is no function within TSM to predicate the specific volume sequence. Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew

Re: NDMP backup reporting.

Iain, Thanks for the assistance. It is a little closer to what I need, but not quite. Your script is pulling from the summary table. The unfortunate thing about the summary table is that it does not tell you which filesystem/qtree/volume the summary is for. In our case

diskpool sizing formula ?

Need some finding where the formula is for sizing diskpool for nightly backs I know its in one of the manualls but I can not find it. So anyone who know where I would be able to find please let me know. Thanks Justin Case Duke University..

Re: diskpool sizing formula ?

IMHO, minimum disk pool size is 3 to 5 times the daily change rate. That is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM; hopefully you can get lots more than that. If you don't know the daily change rate, try 5% of data volume for normal files. It will probably be closer to 2%. Now extrapolate for the data growth
