Hi Eric
We had some similar problems while integrating a SAN with StorageNet
(Brocade) switches and the Stornet 3200.
Problems disapeared after a firmware upgrade of the switch and the bridges.
Thanks and have a good day

Hi Robert,
as far as I know the effect of '21' is, that errors will be forwarded to '1'
- which is '/dev/console'
As there is a log for the webclient (dsmwebcl.log) you could just throw the

For a quick answer:
1. Use TSM mirroring as opposed to AIX LVM mirror. There have been
many discussions about this, even recently, that this gives you better

The only other thing you could do is halt the server and restart it using

Assuming you move data offsite with the same period as you do backups
(e.g., daily), you are churning the same amount of data each day.
When I use DIRMC with a separate mgmt class and stgpool, I see data
immediately in that pool after backup is run. (Not a lot of GB of course,
but data is there). I have TSM server 4.2.1.10.

Hmm I can't answer for sure whether a server counts as a client if you back

But installing the ba client on the server to use the dsmadmc program and

things. You don't use a client license
Ya I thought about that too but there is a potential media management
nightmare lurking here.. suppose you have a few of these critical clients

Of course this only works if your media is accessable by the client.

Under the old licensing a TSM server was permitted to back itself up

This would also be true under the new licensing, since you just count
