Hello all,
I exported a node ( and it's Data) from TSM SERVER A to TSM Server B, I checked
the activity log and the export completed successfully.
I did a q occu for the node and the numbers are different however a query file
space and the numbers matchup exactly.
Question Which one do I use
Q OCC is what I would go by, and my interpretation of those numbers (very
scrunched up/misaligned on my iPhone screen) don't look right to me.
I might expect some minor variation in physical/logical space occupied between
source and target servers, but the number of files per filespace should
to do this activity on the standby server, in other words, the
user will not be privileged with root permission to access this standby
server. The sequence on tape verification is:
Backup TSM DB on primary server after all data backup has been done. And
then we send the TSMDB tape volume both

Why not just run 'dsmc expire'? Seems much more straightforward.

We may be bringing a TSM Library Manager into our TSM server farm environment,
so the Library Manager would be able to

rename the original, restore the backup and get the client to check that it is

Hi All,
I have been asked by a customer if it is possible for TSM to
verify and
confirm the existence of the copy of the data on the
tape/disk, against the
actual file. I really think he means for TSM to re-read the
file it just
wrote and compare it with the file
: Verification
Do they really want to do this? If they do not trust that the file is being
backed up correctly by TSM, will they trust the fact TSM say's it has been,
even if it could verify the file?
The only way I can think of actually getting a byte by byte verificatiuon
that a file has been stored
If they doubt this, then they basically doubt all networking...
If someone wants verification, tell them to retrieve/restore the data to a
different named file and compare the two.
Dwight
