Re: AIX5.3 and power5 for pSeries
According to an IBM rep that I met yesterday, AIX 5.3 will begin shipping this Friday the 13th (nice date, BTW). TSM 5.2 and others will be supported. We have our TSM server on AIX 5.1 and we will migrate to AIX 5.2 soon. Raymond Ramirez
Re: Upgrading AIX TSM server
Upgrading from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2 is a minor change, and is what IBM considers a level increase. From my System/370 days, I remember that IBM classified its software products as Release.Version.Level, so TSM falls in this category. We have upgraded our TSM Host Server from 3.7 to 5.1.9 and it supported all our TSM clients which were at 4.2.1. I believe you won't any trouble upgrading from 5.2.1.3 to 5.2.2.5. Raymond
TSM client on Red Hat Linux
I have installed the TSM client version 4.2.0 on two IBM x335 servers running Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1, and I did all the dsm.sys and dsm.opt file fixes, plus the environmental variable changes to the .bash_profile for root. The dsmc commands work correctly and I can talk to our TSM Host Server, but if I try to do a backup or an incremental on /home (using dsmc inc /home as root user), I get two different error answers on identical setups of TSM on both servers. On the first one, I get: Incremental backup of volume '/home' ANS1076E *** Directory not found *** And on the second one I get: ANS1071E Invalid domain name entered: '/home' Yet both servers have a valid /home directory, mounted for the default /dev/sda5 file system under Linux, with root ownership and 755 permissions. Which one is the correct error and how can I fix them? Thanks! Raymond J Ramirez Distributed System Supervisor Puerto Rico Telephone
Re: Backup/restore
Moses, If you are using the TSM GUI, select View then toggle select Display active/inactive (if in command mode, add -inact) to see the previous generations of your backup files. Select Display active files only to set option as before. I have TSM client version 5.1.6 and it should be the same for similar versions. Raymond Ramirez PR Telephone Company
