Folks: I¹m not well versed in Windows platform specifics, so this question from one of my customers has me flummoxed - and curious. The system (³solid state computer with an i3 CPU²) in question will be dedicated to the backup of a 3rd party NAS device (not NetApp, sadly) so the TSM client

Re: V5-V6 conversion failed on INSERTDB with File system full

2014-04-09 Thread Bill Boyer
The first go around failed after about 5-hours with DB2 space shortage. The V5 has a 260GB DB so I created 4x100GB TSM db file systems. When I got the failure messages about file system full 2 of them were 100% and the other 2 were at 87%. So we create a 5th and had 500GB of database space. Then

2014-04-09 Thread Francisco Parrilla
You can do both backups by the TDP for databases, but only legacy backup can be restored to another server, VSS backup just can be restored at the same server. If you try to issue a restore you can recover the database files but never put online in SQL instance. Best Regards 2014-04-08 23:54

Moving TSM instance to new hardware

2014-04-09 Thread Kevin Kettner
I'm running 6.3.4 server on AIX. The server is getting to the end of it's life so we're planning to replace the hardware. I have just about everything related to TSM installed on SAN disk, besides the stuff that gets installed in /usr. The last time I did a hardware swap was with TSM 5.5. The

I've done something similar w/ TSM 6.3 on RHEL x86_64, and it's worked. I did a DB backup/restore since our DB and active/archive logs are on direct-attach disks, but otherwise it's the same procedure. On Wed, Apr 09, 2014 at 03:02:24PM -0500, Kevin Kettner wrote: I'm running 6.3.4 server on

I have done this recently on Windows, AIX and Linux. We treated it like a DR exercise and basically installed TSM (same version) on new hardware. Made sure I migrated storage pools to 0. Ran a prepare. Put the volhist, devconf, dsmserv.opt in the proper place. Took care of zoning with the

I've also done it this way, treating it as a DR exercise and restoring the DB, not difficult at all. Restoring DB very well documented in the V6 cmd ref. But I realize you wanted to do it without restoring the DB, just importing the VG. I could be wrong, but I think it's more complicated now
