Multiple stanzas unusable: /usr/bin/dsmc already running.

2012-12-12 Thread Ethan Günther
Dear List, for a client with large filespaces, we would like to split the backup up into several nodes in order to balance the load. On the basis of the TSM-client documentation we created several stanzas in the dsm.sys file with different servername entries. In the init-script several dsmc

According to: http://www.spec.org/sfs2008/results/res2012q1/sfs2008-20120201-00205.htmlthere are two E8400 dual-cores, so I'll guess 400 PVU's. But it's better to contact IBM Sales for this. Regards, Maurice van 't Loo http://mvantloo.nl/ 2012/12/11 Hans Christian Riksheim bull...@gmail.com

Hello, Ethan. I've not seen this. Do they run if you start them manually? How about if you remove 6.2.4.4 and backlevel to 6.2.0.0 to match the working box? -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Ethan Günther Sent: Wednesday,

Just received a request to have a few files stored in tsm essentially forever. I am trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this with minimal administrative overhead. So far, 1. create a management class with an archive group set for days, then archive the files. 2. create a

Gary, Since you're using backup for archiving, you can route these backups to your disk/tape archive pools, then you'll avoid having to move the data around much once it's been saved. Bob. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Ron
