This weekend my server group made some updates to my 4 TSM servers.
Since then, every night around midnight 1 or more of the servers are
hanging and I have to restart them to restore communications. After
they come back I query the actlog and I see the following errors:
ANRD tcpcomm.c(779):
My upper management wants me to provide them with some pros/cons of
switching from our current Windows 2K3 TSM server environment to a Linux

pros/cons of both these systems, or know where I could find
documentation on this?
This ability is also available on many ADIC Scalar libraries. There is
a volser option that allows you to remove or add the last two digits
from the volume label (the part that says L1,L2,L3). I stumbled upon
this during a disaster recovery exercise on a scalar 100, and after

An appropriate strategy might be to do MOVE NODEDATA for your most
critical clients, and leave the less important ones alone.
