Yes they are clients to each other. My MOON server is the LM for all onsite/primary tape storage for all TSM servers, including SUN, which is the LM for ALL offsite tape storage for all TSM servers, including MOON. On Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 1:42 AM, Steven Harris wrote: > Not necessarily Zoltan >

Archive interrupted

2016-09-21 Thread Zoltan Forray
A user was running a large archive and the server was accidentally rebooted. Am I correct that he must start all over again - there is no appending to an existing archive? I assume the archive that was running is still good/viable. -- *Zoltan Forray* TSM Software & Hardware Administrator Xymon

We use a script that takes in a set of filesystem paths, gets a list of files in those paths, queries a given TSM node for already-archived files, and then generates a list of files that are in the former list but not the latter. It then passes that final list to "dsmc archive" via -filelist. In th

Broken Drive

Hi, there! I've got a broken drive here and my tape library is working only with 1 drive (a IBM TS3200). As it's only with 1 drive, all reclamation is failing. Me and my team had a (very) crazy idea on using a VTL as a second drive to make (eventual, not scheduled) reclamation, while we're work

Hello, memories of the times when tape drives were horribly expensive and one could only afford 1 drive. Create a diskpool, add that pool as reclamationtarget in the tapepool and let the reclamation work. Size the diskpool accordingly to hold all data. After the tape is empty, start a migration of

The only oddity I see is that DDSTGPOOL4500 has a NEXTSTGPOOL of TAPEPOOL. Shouldn't cause any problems now since utilization is 0% but would get triggered once you hit the HIGHMIG threshold. Is there anything in the activity log for the errant migration processes? On Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 03:28:5

Nothing out of the normal, the below is kind of odd but I'm not sure it has anything to do with my problem. Now here is something, I have another disk pool that is supposed to migrate to the tapepool and now it's doing the same thing. Migrating to itself. What the heck. 09/21/2016 10:58:21

Fabio, your idea is not as crazy as you think. TSM and Spectrum Protect have an option available that allows you to use disk as a reclamation area. This is from the manual: RECLAIMSTGpool Specifies another primary storage pool as a target for reclaimed data from this storage pool. This param

Ricky, could you please send the output of the following commands: 1. Q MOUNT 2. q act begint=-12 se=Migration Also, the only way that the stgpool would migrate back to itself would be if there was a loop, meaning your disk pool points to the tape pool as the next stgpool, and your tape pool

The problem was corrected but, I have no idea how. I stopped the migration and replication kicked off. I let the replication run for an hour or so while I was at lunch. When I got back I stopped replication and restarted the migration. I have no idea how but it used the correct volumes this ti
