Hi all, here comes my first question on this list after idling for quite
some time.
I'm stuck in a logical dead end. I have a special group of machines that
I'm backing up, that hold a really huge number of files, which don't
have to be kept for a long time.
1) As long as a file exists on a

One other question: do you do a DRM Plan? If so, how do you change it to
include dbsnapshots instead of dbbackups? Thanks!

Yes it does sense, but be careful as you are holding indefinitely the version

another set of (dumb?) questions:

Go to www.ibm.com. In the search field, enter: +lstat +ECORRUPT
and review the APAR. You have a corrupted file system, which needs
fixing. And consider boosting your old client level.

Yes, it can. Check the Unix Client Manual for the preschedcmd and
postschedcmd options. These allow you to run any host script before and
after a scheduled operation. Or, you could create a single AIX script that
does whatever you want, then runs the TSM backup, then does whatever you
want.

I think you should remove the device=/dev/lmcp0 from the define library if
you are defining a manual library.
The device for a manual library is probably your right hand.
DEFINE LIBRARY 4TESTLIB LIBTYPE=MANUAL
DEFINE DRIVE 4TESTLIB DRIVE0
etc...

We're missing the big picture on this, as in where this server restore
is coming from. From the devconfig it looks like you're restoring from
a pre-v5 server, into a v5 server. V5 introduced pathing. You have no
path defined for the library. Ideally, you would first have brought up
the new server
Hi Everyone . . .
I'm trying to do a couple things . . . .
1) Trying to get a listing as follows, where the occupancy filespace
stats are sum'ed for each node, with the node domain thrown in:
like this: node domain sum-files sum-physicalMB sum-logicalMB
Here is the command I'm trying
Well, if you connected to TSM via ACCESS, it would look like this:
SELECT DISTINCTROW OCCUPANCY.STGPOOL_NAME, Sum(OCCUPANCY.NUM_FILES) AS
[Sum Of NUM_FILES], Sum(OCCUPANCY.PHYSICAL_MB) AS [Sum Of PHYSICAL_MB],
Sum(OCCUPANCY.LOGICAL_MB) AS [Sum Of LOGICAL_MB], Count(*) AS [Count Of
OCCUPANCY] FROM
I don't think it is an SQL question. The SELECT works just fine as is
when I run it as a TSM script.
I think your problem is something to do with extraneous characters,
character set, or with stdin on the host, not with TSM SQL.

Hi,
I'm not sure it's the cause, but in my devconfig file the device class is
defined
before the library. Maybe try to put the device class line at the beginning
of
the file and see what happens.

Yes, you can create an admin schedule that runs a TSM script that tests
the date, and decides yes/no force the client backup schedule on that
day.

Hi all,

I've done it, with non-Windows (Unix, Mac OS X) clients. Usually, as
long as you stick to ordinary, mainstream operations, greatly disparate
levels tend to work.
Getting a lot of mileage out of that 3.1 license, eh? :-)

Look in the TSM admin guide for DSMSERV EXTEND LOG.

You can use either one -- format=drive or format=ultrium2c. However, if you
