Hi, I've got some old tapes, from non-existing TSM server. The server was decommisioned 5 years ago. I don't know the hardware. Library was LTO SCSI with two drives. TSM server and client were 5.2.0.0. I don't know if there is a database on tape, there is no devconfig and volhistory. Is it

I would install a server with the same OS as the old server, I would not care much about the OS version. Install 5.2.0.0 and test db restores tape by tape, which will take some time... A couple of weeks ago the list discussed utilities to read TSM tapes, maybe a bad or good choice.. Search the

I have a problem with a Solaris client : a rogue script changed permissions and ownership on all files. The client was then backed up again. I have tried performing a point-in-time restore of all files to bring back the lost permissions and ownership. It appears that this is OK for files that

This is known behavior, because with Unix file backups, the TSM database stores a single instance of the file attributes. If using a different file system with complex directory information, or ACLs in regular Unix, attributes would be stored in TSM storage pools and you would have multiple

Hi, Just go to the itsm admin command line and try to query those volumes from there. I don't think you will get a reply anytime soon, although the AdminCenter (last time I took a look at it) is really slow by itself. When we were looking into the CentricStor the very small volume size caused

If you have 5.5 server now, look in the admin ref, Server Utilities chapter, for the command dsmserv display dbbackupvolume. It will let you quickly mount the tapes and tell you whether one of them is a DB backup. That command was available in 5.3 5.4, don't know about 5.2. On Tue, Jun 16,

Hi Wojciech. You need (obviously) to have hardware that can read the tapes. Then install a TSM server at 5.2.0.0 on the same OS platform as the original server. You will need to recreate the device configuration file. Then run dsmserv display dbbackupvolume against each tape, capture/print the
