Hi Everyone,
I hope all of you hade a great vacation during the summer.
But I have a funny problem with my TSM Server.
My TSM Server is 5.4.0.3 based on Windows Server 2003 and an IBM 3584 Library.
In the library I have 4 x LTO2 drives and 1 x LTO3 drive.
Hopefully next week will I have 2 x
Hi,
From my observations, it depend of the action TSM is doing.
For example, when TSM is in initialisation state, there is a validation of all
the drives, in element addresses order.
When TSM is doing an audit libr checkl=y, it work the same
For that cases, and others, concerning ALL drives,
Hi Christian,
Something strange in your output : why does TSM wait for a mount point having
devclass LTOCLASS, if you have defined different devclasse for your primary
(LTO2CLASS) and copy pools (LTO3CLASS) ?
Cheers.

Hi, again . . .
I guess I don't quite understand the situation.
You have a remote site with a server you want to backup to your TSM server.
Then, you ask why you would need VV's back at the remote site. What I

That's seems the simplest method. Anyone else do the same?

Hi Pierre, et al.
We are in the process of adding a new VTL to our TSM server, and we are trying
to understand if there is a way to configure the drives that will spread the

There are two ways to find this information. The first option is the
easiest. By default TSM retains the session summary of backups
(scheduled and unscheduled) for 30 days. If you know that the backups
for these nodes were within that period then you can query the 'summary'
table to see the
Why not use the gui to look up some unchanging system file, as in the
OS? The creation date should show when first backed up.

That method would be rather inefficient, as you would need to be very
familiar with the filesystems in question to know what files have never
changed since the original backup, and if not, you would basically be
resorting to hunting and pecking to see if a particular file has the
earliest backup

Yes, it came out in 5.3.something (at least here it did).
It's now being addressed by APAR IC53464.

Hi Shawn,
use this sql to find the oldest backup date -
select min(backup_date) from backups
where node_name = 'NODE' and filespace_name = '\\node\c$'
It will return just one line of output. The filespace criteria is
optional.
I use it because we have nodes with old filespaces like

Kathleen,
I've never tried this, but 10% difference is quite a lot.
I think of some possible reasons:
- Does one of the tables count directories as files while the other
skips them?
- Does one table reflect an older state than the other (like aud
lic updates the auditoccupancy)?
- Does the
