strange entry in summary table

Hello, By chance I found this exceptional entry about a reclamation process in the summary table: select * from summary where failed1000 START_TIME: 2005-08-04 10:49:39.00 END_TIME: 2005-08-04 11:39:45.00 ACTIVITY: RECLAMATION NUMBER: 1412 ENTITY:

Exports and Volhist

I am running TSM 5.1.9 on AIX 5.2 and did some EXPORT NODEs to save some important data forever. When I went to retrieve it 5 months later it was gone. The tapes were overwritten. No info was in volhist either. I run: DELETE VOLHIST TYPE=ALL TODATE=TODAY-90 to keep the volume history

Scratch Tapes

Good morning. I have a question on scratch tapes and how/when they are used. We are using TSM 5.2.2 with AIX 5.2. We have around 225 LTO2 tapes in the library of which about 60 are used. The are numbered from TS2000 - TS2225. For some time the lower numbered tapes were regularly reused as

The scratch tapes appear to be fine and --- Delay Period for Volume Reuse 0 --- How can I tell how many times a tape can be used and how many times an individual tape was used? If it's low(did not setup server) how can I

Re: Exports and Volhist

Well, you told TSM to delete ALL your tapes out of volhistory, so it did! Software can be pesky like that. Your tapes became eligible as scratch when you did that. What you should be doing is DELETE VOLHIST TYPE=blah TODATE=TODAY-90 and specifying WHICH tapes you want to delete, not just ALL.

Re: Scratch Tapes

This is all right. Like us, TSM likes the newest tapes the most. So it will use all tapes there are in the library. Regards, Maurice - Original Message - From: Jones, Eric J [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 1:33 PM Subject: [ADSM-L] Scratch Tapes

High and Low Migration Percentage

I am wondering why TSM goes by Pct Migr rather than Pct Util to decide when to migrate the storage pool. We are fairly disk constrained right now. A couple of times a week, large database is backed up, that keeps Pct Migr and Pct Util far apart. The storage pool fills up, but migration

Re: High and Low Migration Percentage

Well, Pct Migr is telling you how much of the data in the disk pool IS migrate-able. TSM can't migrate half of something, or a file that is incomplete. So when your big DB backup is running, I suspect what TSM is telling you is that only part of it has gotten to the disk pool yet. As soon as the

Multiple option file in unix environment

How to use multiple option file in unix TSM client like in Windows world? Like in Windows world, we use 'dsmc -optfile=dsm1.opt' file with different tsm server in this new option file. How do I do this in unix world?. My objective is -- I backup my unix machine (Node1) to a TSM Server1. I
