ANS3402W and ANS1067E error -solved !!!!!!
Hi The service Virtual Disk Service must be set to Manual Regards Robert Hi to all Tried to backup an image on a Windows Vista , Tsm client 5.5.1.10 . I didn't use the VSS or LSVA option on my dsm.opt and used the static option: SNAPSHOTPROVIDERIMAGENONE INCLUDE.IMAGE C: mgimage imagetype=static I run from the command line: backup image C: -mode=selective –imagetype=static But always got this error: 12/21/2008 08:55:22 ANS3402W vdsInitialize: A system call LoadService failed with code -2147023838. 12/21/2008 08:55:22 ANS3402W vdsInitialize: A system call LoadService failed with code -2147023838. 12/21/2008 08:55:22 ANS3402W dmCheckPltfrmInit: A system call vdsInitialize failed with code 6201. 12/21/2008 08:55:23 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\cc117466-2345\c$' failed 12/21/2008 08:55:23 ANS1067E A call to a system function returned an unexpected error. 12/21/2008 08:55:23 ANS1813E Image Backup processing of '\\cc117466-2345\c$' finished with failures. Tried to search the meaning of the error ANS3402W and ANS1067E , they point to a snapshot local !!! How come ? I think it something relate to a service not loaded correctly maybe ? Any other suggestions ? T.I.A Regards Robert
Re: 5.4 -- 6.0 (server)
What is your opinion of placing the DB2 database on a DS8300 or any other high end SAN? (RAID 5 only, all 15K drives) parity write overhead. Is it possible to access both a DS-4200 and a DS-8300 from the same pair of FC cards?

SV: 5.4 -- 6.0 (server)
Hi Mate, By the TSM 6.1 Beta documents you will only be able to go from TSM 5.5 to TSM 6.1. If you wanna go from 5.4 you are recommended to upgrade from 5.4 to 5.5 first. I haven't finish my testing yet with upgrade from 5.5 to 6.1 yet because you can't install TSM 5.5 and 6.1 as default installation in Windows. And the Linux version of 6.1 Beta has just been released. But as I understand do you need to upgrade even 5.5 to a 5.6ish version. But their is a 6.1 Beta forum that you can ask this kind of questions. I think it is really important that the TSM Development team can read all questions and ideas in one place.

Re: 5.4 -- 6.0 (server)
No. the RDAC and the SDD won't play nicely over the same HBA(s). The host will only see on of the subsystems. I mistakenly did this and if I remember the SDD took over and the host didn't see the RDAC volumes until I removed the SDD volumes. Then I saw the RDAC volumes and remembered I forgot to change the zoning. Have you looked at the IBM SAN Volume Controller? You can have lots of different storage subsystems behind the SVC and only need the SDD on the hosts as the SVC presents a common front end to the hosts.
