3592 Media Availability

I've been hearing varying stories from vendors regarding the availability of 3592 media. Beyond the 20 tapes available through IBM with the installation of the drive, are these tapes available through resellers now? I've seen estimates anywhere from today to March '04. I'd also be interested in

3583 Inventory Command

Is there any way to report the barcodes of tapes physically in a 3583? I'm able to see the barcodes one at a time, using the Remote Management Unit (web interface), but I'd prefer a comman-line approach. Using tapeutil (under Solaris) doesn't quite cut it, unless there is something I'm not

Re: Transaction Failed

Geoff, I saw the same message last night. The funny thing is, the node in question should not have been writing to the first pool listed in the ANRD error. The two pools are not in the same hierarchy at all. Does that agree with your situation? 10/29/02 00:03:11 ANRD

Retrieve partial damaged file

All, I've encountered a tape with damaged files on it, for which no copypool exists (business decision). The question the user has asked me is: This is a 942 mb file, the retrieve fails at 940 mb, and deletes the file. The data type is such that data could be usable even if the file is

Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape

Any suggestions for a worst case scenario, where it is a primary pool tape which has not yet had a backup made? Had this happen this morning. Wrote 33GB onto a 3590E. The tape then became unreadable, the server error being I/O error reading label for libvolume 101144 in drive RMT1

Re: Show Libr output

Zlatko, Here's the other info you requested. We are still running AIX 4.3.1, ADSM 3.1.2.55. I'm working at upgrading to TSM4.2, then IBM can/will look at the problem, if the upgrade itself does not fix the problem. Thanks, Mike $ lsattr -El rmt0 mode yes Use Buffered Writes

Zlatko, Here's the output you requested. As you can see, same model and microcode levels (it's the same across all five drives. I've done the same Show Libr on our other two servers, one with 3590B1A's, one with 3590E1A's. The B1A's: RMT0 (/dev/rmt0): type=8, mod=17,

Show Libr output

In investigating a tape drive problem, I found the output from the Show Libr command to be interesting, specifically the type=8, mod=## fields: RMT2 (/dev/rmt2): type=8, mod=48, busy=1, online=1, polled=0, available=1, createPending=0 priorReadFailed=0, priorWriteFailed=0

Re: Offsite Mirror of TSM server

Could you not start a second instance of the server on the target server, restore the db from the source server into this second instance? Then the server-to-server would still operate, but it would be within the one machine! In theory, of course... M. This is such a key point when

No Drives Available errors

Good morning, Since we upgraded our 3590B's to 3590E's, whenever all the drives in the library are full, we get these errors, under ADSM 3.1, AIX: 02/06/2002 11:13:43 ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library MAGSTOR1. This causes restore/retrieves to fail, rather than queue,

Migration and Copypools

According to the ADSM Admin Guide: Migration of files between primary storage pools does not affect copy storage pool files. Copy storage pool files do not move when primary storage pool files move. If I have defined the following (AIX server, ADSM 3.1): Primary Pool: Arcpool1 Copy Pool:

Reading 'J' tapes on 'E' drives

Ok, maybe I've misread the documentation but, this is causing me some grief. In testing the upgraded 3590E drive, I've followed the instructions for creating a new library, devclass, drive, and storage pools. What I'm trying to do is move a full J tape from the old library to the newly defined

FILESPACE_NAME vs. HL_NAME

Good Afternoon, A client is having trouble locating archived files using dsmc q ar. The problem seems to be that the filespace_name and hl_names differ between the files, even though they were archived from the same place. Server: AIX, ADSM v3.1 Client: SunOS, ADSM v3.1 An example: select
