TSM Cluster Scheduler Question

Hi All TSM 5.4.1.2 on Solaris 2.9 Backing up Exchange (MS Windows Server 2003, RC2 SP) - 5.5.0.0 in a clustered environment. We had this set up by an outside company and are now seeing some problems with the TSM Cluster Scheduler automatically failing over the cluster due to a password issue

Hi, First, de-select affect group in the cluster resource properties for the TSM Cluster Scheduler in cluster administrator, cluadmin.exe. This prevents the whole cluster to failover when the TSM service stops due to whatever.. ex. bad password. Verify that the correct registry parameter is

Hi Henrik, many thanks for that, very helpful. The reason I'm confused about the 'cluster scheduler' is that we also have a 'TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler' running, and I assumed it was this that was responsible for the backups? Why the need for the two separate schedulers? Thanks again. Farren

Farren, You may be affected by a faulty configuration, where the password in MS cluster's checkpoint file is not synchronized with the local registry password anymore, thus making the service fail ... It happened several times in our shop already ! IBM noticed the problem, and published a

Hi again Farren ! Aha ok, two nodenames? My best guess is that TSM Cluster Scheduler is only backing up the OS. And TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler is responsible for Exchange backups. What I do is to use two TSM nodes and two scheduler services on Exchange servers like you seem to have. But I only

Hello Ah OK, that makes sense. I just checked and the TSM CHI-MB Cluster RG Scheduler points to a standard looking dsm.opt file although we don't do normal backups on these servers anyway (yes). The TSM Exchange TDM Cluster RG Scheduler points to \Tivoli\TSM\TDPExchange\dsm.opt that

Otto, After you export using the server to server method, verify that all data has been successfully imported to the target TSM server. Then delete the node and all of it's data on the source TSM server. The volumes holding the deleted data will have free space. The volumes can then be

Hi all- For quite some time now, I have been trying to track down an elusive bottleneck in my TSM environment relating to disk-to-tape performance. This is a long read, but I would be very greatful for any suggestions. Hopefully some of you folks much smarter than me out there will be able to

If you think it's the SVC, why not try taking TSM out of the picture: If you use OS tools to COPY a big chunk of data (say a 20 GB file) from one spot behind the SVC to the other, and time it, what is your MB/sec rate? On 7/1/08, Thach, Kevin G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all- For quite

A bit of a survey for those of you that happen to use the OpenVMS ABC client. I've recently found the /summary option, but the format in the act log is quite different than the normal job reports and our reporting software doesn't catch it. We'll have to modify it, but I was just wondering...

How are your tape drives attached to your TSM HBAs? Presumably by SAN switch, so how do you have the drives zoned? Ideally, every drive should be visible on every fiber and alternate path support should be enabled (chdev -l rmtx -a alt_pathing=yes) (do NOT do for the SMC if you do not have path

I am set up very similar to you. My TSM LPAR HBAS connect to a director class switch which has an ISL to each of the edge switches that the tape drives themselves connect to (odd drives on one and even on the other like yourself.) Therefore, I have 64 rmt devices at the AIX level for my LTO3

Re: Please tell me about your LTO3 / LTO4 performance

Two items, then. Alternate pathing may help. Also, what is the available bandwidth of the ISL to the edge switches? For your system, it should be at least 6 Gb; 8 would be marginally better (three paired ports at 2 Gb/port, or two paired ports at 4 Gb/port). -Original Message- From:

There are two 2Gb ISL's going to each switch for a total bandwidth of 4Gb to each edge. Our SAN monitoring tool (EFCM) doesn't show that we're maxing out the ISL's, but I can easily add one to see what happens. I'll also try the alternate pathing ASAP. Thanks for the suggestions! -Original
