Hello Michael,
we are just moving from AIX to W2K3 by exporting node by node, which is
sometimes painstaking but helps clean up the system from old and obsolete
stuff. The TSM server name is neccesarily unique on each system. I
experience that the password frequently has to be updated after
Many thanks for your answers, which really prevented much pain...
We'll be going for a step-by-step migration to the new system. Having
to touch all of the nodes over a period of some weeks will certainly
be less painful than running into a problem and having to touch them
all at once.
Hi,
There seems to be hell of a lot of log archiving going on , and am I

Why, do you want it done hourly if its gets automatically archived by
DB2 when the log file is full? Just let DB2 do the archiving directly to
TSM. We have 21 DB2 databases all archiving directly to one TSM server
with no problems. Some of them are pretty busy, writing a log file every
few seconds

The DB2 Database administrator requires it done every hour,

where it is in the dsm.opt shouldn't matter, but since you want to stop
multiple processes and can only use one -preschedulecmd=my script
you might want to think about defining a schedule that executes a
script to stop your processes, does the incremental, then restarts
them.

There are no requirements for where in dsm.opt the PRESCHEDULECMD and
POSTSCHEDULECMD options go.

Only thing with doing a script to stop the services, dsmc incremental, and
start the services is, you loose the successful with
skipped files for the event. An ACTION=COMMAND schedule either works (rc=0) or
failes (rc0). And in your script you have to make
allowances for DSMC INCREMENTAL
Maybe being an ex-programmer, but you have no condition code checking to make
sure that the NET STOP/START commands completed
successfully. If you NET STOP's don't work, do you still want to run the
backup? Now if the last NET STOP command fails, then the
preschedulecmd will return with a

This is probably not a TSM specific question, but hopefully someone can
point me to the right place to look.
We would like to understand how the library decides which available
drive to use. Does it always start with the first drive defined and look
until it finds one
I don't know the exact algorithm, but it does round robin the use of
drives. If it chose drive1 last time, it will choose drive2 the next
time.

Thanks Kelly, Richard and Andy for the quick responses. So, as I
understand it in my scenario, it is the AIX host that chooses the drive
that is the least recently used one. At the very beginning, it will
start at the first drive and sequentially go through them all and then
it will begin
Sorry to disagree, but I don't see how AIX can choose the drive - I
believe that TSM chooses it. I don't know if it's LRU or
round-robin, but I do know that it attempts to spread the load evenly.

Hello,
I have 3 volumes that after all the investigations(I did all the
audits, restore, checkout libv) , I see that they have been physically
removed from the library. Currently their status are 'scratch' . Is there
a way to remove the information of 3 volumes from the 'scratch' pool?
Have you ever had the 3494 configured with serial? You have to make sure
that your ARTIC configuration supports a serial connection and that you are
plugged into the proper host port first. You should be able to follow some
general guidelines in the AIX configuration to get the connection going,
I'm with Paul: TSM chooses the drive and based on my observations always
does round robin. Not LRU as I don't think it keeps track of that. So
it will choose the next drive in order as long at that drive isn't in
use. If in use, skip to the next and keep going around.
You see this on label
The 3494 used to be attached to an aix machine via serial port, and it
was able to communicate to the library correctly.

Richard,
You asked thought provoking questions, but didn't answer mine. What
is the compelling reason to use virtual volumes? Offsite copypools
and certain restorability of the TSM database are essential. Thank
you for spotlighting those points. However, I can do those without
virtual volumes.
Well I would say, then, the reason for VV is to eliminate the need for
real volumes: using virtual volumes on a remote TSM server eliminates
the need to move real tape volumes to the remote server in the event of
a disaster. Are they useful: that's a matter or opinion.
Somebody made the very
I think orinally, it was because intersite SCSI/FC was impossible or too
expensive, while IP was cheap. (Or maybe one TSM server had scsi tape
drives and a second did not.)
Virtual volumes are basically treating one TSM server as a client and
archiving to the other TSM server over IP.
One area I've used VV's is for remote vaulting. Yes, you can write
directly to a tape drive at the remote site, but over a slower connection,
trying to send data to a tape will cause LOTS of backhitching on the drive,
reducing tape performance (which probably isn't a problem), and reducing
