If one is using the ibm 3584(aka TS3500) then the wwn does not changes on a straight up swap-out. The wwn goes with the slot in the library used to hold the tape drive and not the tape drive itself. And with lto-3 tape drives and better, Our IBM ce's have to update the new tape drive with the

AIX 6.1 Enhanced JFS?

We are installing a new TSM 6.1 server on an AIX 6.1 box and my UNIX specialist has been away from AIX for several year. He is asking about recommendations for the filespaces for the database and logs, specifically whether or not to use the new JFS2 (enhanced JFS). Any recommendations out there?

Yes, use JFS2 filsystems. All of our AIX system use it, including our TSm servers. And while your at it, be sure to use Scalable VG's. Sam Sheppard s...@sddpc.sannet .GOV To Sent by:

Bill, From what I read on your thread you are only keeping 30 days worth of backups. You may already know this, but the fromdate and todate on the export pertain to when the backup was taken, not the timestamp of the file. I'm sure you know this, but I want to be sure. That said, your current

Hate to say it, but this looks like DB corruption IMHO. If you have the downtime, or another test server, I would run an audit against the DB. Also, since the error seems to be on the BFDESTROY, you might try setting the trace flag for SHRED. Maybe this will give more information. Gary Itrus

Gill, I suspect that the ce had the drive in service mode, either to swap the drive for another one, or to run diag tests. The ce would have to take it out of service mode. This can be done from the front panel of the library. Or some cable is not plugged into the drive unit. Of course I
