Hi Li! It depends. If you are doing LAN-free to a similar device, then you do not have to use separate adapters. However, when you are doing LAN-free to tape or to storage which requires a different device driver, then you will need separate adapters. IBM does not support disk and tape I/O through

Here's one possibility: If the TEC server is not up or not accessible when the TSM server starts, the Tivoli event logging will be disabled. You can restart it with the BEGIN EVENTLOGGING TIVOLI command. This has been happening to me sporadically because sometimes the TSM server starts before

Rob, I couldn't agree more with Mark. Please read the introduction to TSM. When I look at the name of your copy storage pool (3581_week2) it seems that you are still working in a full/incremental way. This is not how TSM works. This is about the 'progressive backup' in TSM and taken from the TSM

Re: 3590 K series

2005-03-30 Thread Ben Bullock
I'm sure it really depends on the number of mounts and reads/write cycles that the tape goes through. The problem with the 3590E tapes is that once they are taken out of the library, the number of mounts is lost, so actual mounts per tape is a pure guess if you have offsite copypool tapes

Quick answer. User the query media and move media commands. Query can show you in order, how long tapes have not been used. Move media then allows you to move (er checkout) tapes that haven't been accessed in a certain number of days. If one of these tapes is later needed, TSM will prompt for

We have had to do this in the past to free up library space. Rather than using the checkout libvol command, I would suggest using the functions within the TSM server to store tapes outside of the library: the move media command. Do a 'help move media' for how it works.
