I don't know of a simple way to get a overview of tape drive activity from
TSM, especially if you have a library sharing environment and storage
agents. Frustrated, I wrong a script to give an overview. Below is a
sample run of the script.
If you'd like a copy, shoot me an email:

I've seen this long delay before between tape mount (the process sitting
there at 0 pages written) and the actual backup. In the couple of cases
I've seen it's also whenthere have been a number of client sessions. After
reducing them the backup starts.
Is it fast once it's writing?
Here's the output from the trace. Looks like Andy's VSS thoughts were right
on, because there's kind of a long gap (almost 4 hours!) between the dsm
start and it's appearance:
02/12/2009 17:25:05.745 [000700] [1096] : vssreq.cpp (1416):
VssRequestor::InitializeVss(): VSS[SetBackupState]
Dear all,
I have a two question here, and i need your advice:
1. On one client, I didn't use the Open File support, so the backup
schedule failed (some files couldn't back up), but if I use the open file
support, the machine stop responding during backup proccess. Is the problem
on the TSM or
Steve, this is almost certainly a VSS issue non-specific to TSM (except
that TSM uses VSS).
Put the following into a script (say, vsslist.cmd), then run it:
@echo off
echo %date%%time%
vssadmin list writers
echo %date%%time%
How long does vssadmin list writers take to complete?
Best regards,
Will a TSM 6.1 server with a TSM 5.4 library manager be a supported environment?

Nope, you need to be on 6.1 level on the Library Manager.

As with anything, YMMV.
The planning guide - current goal for upgrade is 5GB to 10GB/hr

Is there any requirement that the 'source' database be fully audited before

That's Great! Better than the 5-6GBH advertised. Could you let us know what
type of infrastructure? pSeried / Disk Type etc?

The organization I belong to in IBM was involved in the beta program for
TSM V6. We assisted customers in the installation and training for the new
release. I did the education for the DB Upgrade process, and also assisted
in some of the testing for it. I'd like to pass on several comments here
Where can one get information on this offering, is it a web seminar ?

All,
I am trying to get the latest client for Novell Netware Is it 5.5.1.0 or
5.5.1.11? I only see the latest in the IBM ftp Tivoli directory as
being 5.5.1.0.
Thanks in advance!
I have found that the latest links are often out of date.
Anything beyond a x.x.x.0 is a patch
The 5.5.1.11 Netware client is at:
FTP://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/client/v5r5/Netware/v551/5.5.1.11-TIV-TSMBAC-NetWare.EXE

What is the OS and SP level? What is the client version?

Andy,
I'm not at the customer anymore, although I might get remote access to the
client at some future date. Believe it or not, I actually ran that command
(duh, never made the connection) yesterday morning and I eventually
cancelled it because it never came back. So I must say your diagnosis
Well, the Preparing for V6 info says the upgrade process Upgrades the
existing DB to V5.5.x. It also says that if your DB is prior to V5.5.x
and you need to go back, you would have to restore your DB vs if you were
at V5.5 you could just restart your server.
The recommended starting point is
To communicate to a 6.1 library manager you don't have to be at 5.5.2
server level
Regarding the upgrade to 6.1, if you don't wanna go to 5.5.2 before the
upgrade I suggest that you take a copy of your DB and make a test upgrade
and play around a little
If you are at 5.3.6.3 the upgrade will
