Usually what I do is to change the access to readwrite and let TSM use them again. If you see that they give errors and TSM changes them back to readonly again then you should move the data and replace them. Yiannakis -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL

Geoff - If TSM is slow to respond to anything on that system, it is likely that the system in general is hurting, perhaps due to a runaway process or virtual storage shortage. Your AIX Error Log and /var/adm/ messages are worth checking, as well as 'topas'. If it's only TSM, then there may be

Allen, I too thought that LTOs might not be up to scratch for 24x7 operation, but I recently went looking. I could only find information for generation 1 of LTO, but both LTO1 and SDLT are rated at 250,000 hours MTBF on a 100% duty cycle. Now that figure may be playing with engineering

open source clone of tsm?

I need something with some of TSM's abilities. I have enough disk space on the 'backup' server that I can rsync all other servers to the backup server, however the amount of data to backup is greater than the tape size. I could use multi-volume tars, though I prefer to be more 'hands-off' than
