TSM Upgrade and TDP compactability
Hello We are upgrading our TSM to 5.2 and we currently run SQL TDP 2.2..1.* and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues??? Thanks Mike
TSM and multiple libraries
Hello I have a question concerning using a single TSM Server and two libraries. 1. Single TSM Server 2. first 3494 with 8 3500E drives 3. second 3494 with 6 of the new jaguar drives 4 TSM Server will see both 3494's 5. first 3494 will be used for backups 6 second 3494 will be used to do duplexing only Can we actually backup to one 3494 and then duplex to another 3494 library. I do not believe we can assign a copypool a particular tape range. Since the command ba stg jxn_tapepool copypool02 will backup the tapepool to a copypool how can you tell TSM what library to use?? Thanks Mike
Re: Checkin libvol
Hello
I used the following ksh script
for volser in $(libtapeck|grep FF00 |awk '{print $1}')
do
dsmck checkin libv sakslib02 $volser status=scratch devtype=3590
checklabel=no
done
Note libtapeck is a script mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -q I and FF00 is inset
status.
This gets any volumes that are in insert status.

The PERL script was more portable than an shell script. We do TSM
implementations on both Unix and Windows platforms. Yes, I work with Ted
Byrne. The Perl script can be used on any platform with Perl and the TSM
admin client loaded.

Hiya Ted,
Just out of complete curiosity, why would you want to run such a script from
somewhere other than on the server itself??? We do something pretty much the
same except the scipt runs from AIX on our TSM server...

Subject: Re: Checkin libvol
Hi everyone!
Everytime I try to checkin my tapes to my library I need to run q
request and reply request nr
Is it possible to checkin tape without to run a reply request nr?
Checking in the tapes through an I/O station (search=bulk) does
require that a reply be issued to a request. However, for many of our
customers, it is not practical to have the operator who is actually
handling tapes running a checkin manually after the Entry/Exit port is
loaded with the day's tapes (almost always less than the capacity of
the entry/exit port).
For this situation, we have written a small perl script that gets
scheduled once a day, typically at the end of each weekday. It's
defined as a client event to run on a machine with the administrative
client installed. The script runs, issues the checkin libv command,
issues the q
request, parses the output to get the request number, and then issues the
reply.
Works well for us and our customers...
Ted

Re: WRONG Answer: dsmfmt file size
Hello I use raw and TSM mirroring because I was told that idf I had a problem and used OS mirroring TSM did not support that. If I wanted TSM support I would need to do TSM mirroring. So make sure! Mike -Original Message- From: Roger Deschner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 12:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WRONG Answer: dsmfmt file size Yes, I am too easy to satisfy. That's because after a weekend of dsmfmt-ing, I'm declaring the thing BROKEN worse than before. I take back those nice things I said last Friday. I'm not using raw LVs because I want to use OS mirroring on my disk storage pools. Also the ITSM Administrator's Guide goes to some length to convince you not to use Raw LVs, and I tend to believe the basic manual for any product when they come out and say something and are that sure of it. What bewilders me now about dsmfmt is two questions: 1) Why does the error message tell me how big to specify for some disks and not for others? The Logical Volumes are identical except for size. On a 72gb disk, if I overestimate, it says how big to use. On a 36gb disk, it's like before, where I get to guess, and then wait several hours to find out if I guessed right or not. 2) Why is it's calculated number so low? After dsmfmt was done, the Unix df command showed that filesystem only 94% full, with nearly 5gb showing free on df on a 72gb disk. That's a lot of waste! I'm not so sure this new feature is such a great idea if it is going to forbid me from getting my disk as full as possible. By the old method of trial and error and waiting for hours, I could usually get it well over 99% full, according to the Unix df command. Now I really want that option you suggest - use it all (I mean, really use it all) and tell me how much space I've got when I'm done. The current state of affairs in V5.1 is worse than just wasting a lot of my time; now it is wasting my disk space as well, and it is behaving inconsistently. A consistently-behaving, easy to use to allocate all of something, version of dsmfmt is VITAL to disaster recovery capabilities!

Upgrade from 4.2 to 5.2

Re: Expiration Question on 5.1.6.4
Hello You need to use SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS, instead of del volhist t=dbb. This is an excert from help del volhist. 5. For users of DRM, the database backup expiration should be controlled with the SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS command instead of this DELETE VOLHISTORY command. Using the DELETE VOLHISTORY command removes TSM's record of the volume. This can cause volumes to be lost that were managed by the MOVE DRMEDIA command. The recommended way to manage the automatic expiration of DRM database backup volumes is by using the SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS command. -Original Message- From: Mahesh Tailor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 7:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Expiration Question on 5.1.6.4 Hello, TSM: 5.1.6.4 w/DRM enabled AIX: 4.3.3.10 I having been looking at the completion of my expiration processes for the last 15 days and I see, for example, the following: 07/27/03 15:15:01 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: EXPIRE INVENTORY 07/27/03 15:15:01 ANR0984I Process 709 for EXPIRE INVENTORY started in the BACKGROUND at 15:15:01. 07/27/03 15:15:01 ANR0811I Inventory client file expiration started as process 709. 07/27/03 17:42:42 ANR2369I Database backup volume and recovery plan file expiration starting under process 709. 07/27/03 17:42:42 ANR0812I Inventory file expiration process 709 completed: examined 3828936 objects, deleting 420981 backup objects, 0 archive objects, 0 DB backup volumes, and 0 recovery plan files. 0 errors were encountered. 07/27/03 17:42:42 ANR0987I Process 709 for EXPIRE INVENTORY running in the BACKGROUND processed 420981 items with a completion state of SUCCESS at 17:42:42.
