I did have look at the 4.2.1.2-fix, but it didn't describe anything but the 3583-problem. Has anyone with 3494 installed the fix, and dit it solve the problem here as well? I have a PMR open on this issue for AIX and a 3494. I have not installed the fix for the 3583-problem and Tivoli did

To all, I contacted Tivoli today regarding the PMR I have open. I don't know if this affects all platforms but on AIX 4.3.3 with TSM 4.2.1 about every 3 days I can count of a core dump of TSM, last night was the latest. According to Tivoli they want me to change one parameter in the dsmserv.opt

The problem with database backups, migrations failing and not waiting for tape drives existed in 4.1.2.0 also. I just moved up from 4.1.2.0 and did not see this problem here. That version seemed to be very stable for me. If TSM attempts to access a scratch tape and cannot read the label, the

Has Tivoli thought of coming out with a TDP for Oracle on True64 Unix yet? Anyone else have this configuration or am I the only one? Who can we put pressure on for this to get done? What good is a SAN when 90% of the data out there would come back across the network because there is no TDP?
