TSM and mod-27 devices

We're running a V5 TSM Server on an MVS platform, and considering the use of mod-27s for its DASD needs. Are there any known issues regarding the use of mod-27 DASD devices for TSM db, log, or backup/archive pool volumes? Thanks, in advance. Peter Glass MVS Storage Management

extending archive retentions

I have some clients who have archived files with 1-year retentions. Now they say these files need to be retained for 5 years. Is there a way we can extend these retentions without having to retrieve and re-archive these files? If so, how? Thanks, in advance. Peter Glass Distributed Storage

unix trigger for TSM Server processes?

What is the best way to have unix trigger a TSM backup storagepool process? We need to start this process immediately upon completion of a client's DB2 backup. We can't very well schedule this, because the completion time of the backup varies widely, from one backup to the next. We can afford to

reporting on backup successes/failures

What would be the best way to produce a report that shows the number of client backup successes vs. failures, for a given day? Peter Glass Distributed Storage Management (DSM) Wells Fargo Services Company * [EMAIL PROTECTED]

when to recycle client scheduler service?

Hello, Folks! We happened to have the TSM Server down during a time when a certain client would have been polled for a backup that was to take place 12 hours later. Our polling intervals are 4 hours apart. TSM last polled this clients 4 hours previously, and did not resume any polling of this

Tivoli website/Explorer access problem

Starting about 2 months ago, I've been unable to use Explorer for downloads from the Tivoli website. I get a pop-up window (with Microsoft-type graphics) that says: Either the server does not allow anonymous logins, or the email address was not accepted. The FTP server here is

exclude syntax frustration

TSM seems to ignore our exclude statements, no matter which wildcard syntax we use. For example, we have filesystems called /db1/oracle, /db2/oracle, etc. through /db30/oracle that we want to exclude. We've tried: exclude /db[1-30]/oracle/.../* and exclude /db*/oracle/.../* and exclude

abrupt change in request number format

We have a script that automates the operator REPLY command requirement for tape ejects. The operator request number that the REPLY is issued against has always been a 3-digit number, with leading zeros (e.g. reply 001), and our script is written accordingly. However, a few days ago, the request

ITO alarms and TSM error messages

We would like to setup an error message monitoring process that sends alarms to the Helpdesk for a select group of error messages, as they occur, in the Solaris TSM Server Activity Log. We normally use ITO for this kind of thing. How can we get a non-TSM error message monitor to listen in on the

large client multi-streamed backups

We are converting our Netbackup clients to TSM. Some of these clients are large DB2 and Oracle clients with tight processing windows. Most of these clients have chosen not to use TDP or SQL Backtrack. The solution in Netbackup was to spread their workloads across several backup classes that ran

schedmode: polling vs. prompting

Which client schedmode -- polling or prompting -- is the better practical choice for a large TSM environment of 300+ clients? We would welcome any thoughts or suggestions on the relative merits/drawbacks of either mode. Thanks in advance. Peter Glass Distributed Storage Management (DSM) Wells

moving node data using server to server

Is it possible to EXPORT node data from a source server and then IMPORT them into a target server using the Server to Server feature? All discussion on Server to Server in the Admin Guide seems to focus on Virtual Volume storage. This doc does not indicate whether data EXPORTed to a target

LUN sizes in TSM hardware config

Does TSM have a maximum LUN size that a TSM Server will support? We are setting up a new SUN/Solaris TSM Server environment, and want to make sure our disk is configured with the correct LUN number and sizes-with future growth accounted for. We have about 900 GB to start with. Somebody

EXPORT-IMPORT clients from OS390 Server to Unix Server?

Hi All! Is it possible to EXPORT client data from an OS390 Server to a Unix Server? The Tivoli docs all seem to say yes -- provided that the target Server is running the same or newer Server level code. However, a hardware vendor pointed out to me that this may not be possible: If the OS390

filesystem sharing between TSM and UDB

Our DBAs are proposing that we move our TSM database and recovery logs into the same filesystem with their udb databases. (Long story as to why.) This is on an AIX node that they share in an SP complex. Maybe this is OK, but something tells me that this may not be such a good idea. Does anybody

Can TSM directory paths, names be changed?

When the TSM Server software for AIX is installed, it rolls out a directory path of /usr/tivoli/tsm/... Is it safe to change this, or must the directory paths and names be kept intact? We are about to move TSM onto new disk, and the system administrators have this idea of moving TSM into a

Database Recovery Fails

We're attempting a point-in-time recovery of our ADSM Database. ADSM Release is at Version 3 Release 1 Level 2.50, running on platform OS390 Level 2.10. The recovery is through batch JCL: //SERVER EXEC PGM=DSMSERV,DYNAMNBR=300,TIME=NOLIMIT, // PARM='/RESTORE DB TOD=05/01/2001 TOT=17:00:00'

No, just 1500. We never had 1580 dedicated under previous TCP releases either. Could this be a requirement, beginning with R10? Peter Glass Distributed Storage Management (DSM) Wells Fargo Services Company * 612-667-0086 * 866-249-8568 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From:

Unable to init TCP/IP driver in OS390 2.10

We just upgraded our development MVS to OS390 2.10. Since then, ADSM generates this error: ANR5092E Unable to initialized TCP/IP driver - error creating acceptor socket. TCP/IP is up and running, and still under the same name that it's always had. We are running ADSM Version 3, Release 1, Level

file name too long when?

One of our NT clients is getting a large number of 'ANE4018E ...: file name too long' errors in their backups. The file names in question are indeed quite long. Does anybody know the TSM standard on file name lengths? Can somebody point me to which TSM docs discuss this specifically? Thank you!

db2 backups not expiring

All, Does anybody know why wouldn't db2 backups expire, when, in theory, they should be? We have an AIX-SP environment, with TSM 4.1, server and clients. DB2 data is backed up via the TSM-API. The copygroup criteria for this data is: versions exists=1; versions deleted=1; retain extra versions=1,
