Hello Michael, On what type of media does the backup data reside? Does this restore issue occur when the data is on: * Disk (random access, device class DISK) * Disk (sequential, device class FILE) * Tape (a tape device class) * Next generation storage pool What type (operating system, e.g., Win

And another question: I think the message is on the client, ANS4035W (not ANR4035W)? When the problem occurs, are there any messages displayed in the server activity log that would seem to correspond with this issue? Andy __

The TSM 6.3 reorganization server option default values are appropriate most (but not all) of the time. In this environment the default values are not optimal and you should continue to use the current values for the reorganization server options. Thank you, Del -

Hello Andrew,   yes, you are correct ANS4035W ist the correct message. As of your suggestions, we did some backups and restores and found out that this error only appears if the object resides on tape. It doesn't matter if tape is primary, copy or nextstoragepool. This error appears on Windows, L

Hello, Recently one of our AIX administrators upgraded the TSM client to 7.1.4.4 on her servers. Many of them started receiving errors like calloc() failed: Size 31496 File ../mem/mempool.cpp Line 1092 I looked this up and the indication is that the AIX server could not supply enough memory to

Good morning Pam, We encountered errors backing up filesystems with large numbers of files until we set the root user ulimits to unlimited. That fixed the problem but can have other consequences, obviously. Do you know if your AIX admin tried changing the ulimits? Regards, _

Hi Michael, I am looking further into this, but have you tried the latest 6.1 client level? I tested 6.1.0.0, and I get the same error you do (backing up to LTO tape). I tried the restore with 6.1.5.0 and it was successful. server: 7.1.4 on AIX client: 6.1.0.0 on Windows 7 (backup and first resto

This isn't really helpful for your specific situation, Pam (I don't think I've had the specific errors you've seen). But I have noticed (with much dismay) that the 7.x clients for AIX have required significantly more memory than earlier versions. I have clients with 1+ million files in a filesyst

Hi Dave, Thank you for the information. I, of course, could not get the person assigned to my ticket to even acknowledge that this might be due to some different memory requirements for the newer TSM clients. The only response I received was that we just must not have enough memory on our syste

All this talk about server upgrade woes has me concerned, especially since I am heading to 7.1.5 with my 6.3.5 servers. Being a university, we have quite a few boxes that can't/wont upgrade (Solaris 5.8 running 5.3.6.6 client, old linux/2.4 kernel running 5.5 client, Solaris boxes running Notes/

Hi Pam, During incremental backup, the peak memory utilization usually occurs when the client is processing the directory with the largest number of files. In this case, unless your machine has only 8 MB of RAM ;-) I do not see how ~15K objects could cause memory to be exhausted. It doesn't pass t
