I know the way things get lost around here (usually a process of the third person to get the job isn't fully briefed by the second person who is now moving to other responsibilities). I'd rather keep the data in my library. I've got 6 LTO tapes in varying stages of filling on-site and 4 off-site.

Robin, Here is a quick update. We've got Tivoli and HP talking. TSM 4.1.5 is a 32-bit application and it runs into an issue with one of the pthreads dying, causing the app to hang. When we went from 4.1.0 to 4.1.5 due to a known bug, the app changed around version 4.1.2 from many

Depending on what you're scripting your prescheduled command in, you can include a loop that checks the databases every 10 seconds. Something like dbstop while (are databases that aren't completely stopped?) { sleep 10 } Then when the while loop exists, your backups will start. Alex

Not to mention that you'd have to do this on a copy pool, as this is for DR reasons. Also assuming that this copy pool will be offsite. So you'll be sending volumes offsite daily with very few files on them. Which, if your reclaim threshold is set to a normal 60%, will cause the tapes to be

Roll forward mode recovers a database to the point in time of the now versus normal as of the last backup + incrementals. The other database volumes still on disk are at current time. To end up with a consistent database you must have a way to bring all to current. The roll-forward replays the

Have you tried using (nohup ... ) around the call for the second script from the first one. We have seen this problem before and it has something to do with the shell. I cannot say this will fix the problem, but it may help. You may also need to put a pipe to /dev/null for the output.
