Re: Running HPUX 10.20 3.1 clients

2002-02-21 Thread S W Branch
Yes, I'm running ADSM 3.1.6 backup clients on approximately 25-30 HPUX 10.20 systems. The TSM server is running TSM 4.1.5 server software on an AIX 4.3.3 maint level 9 system. One of the clients also uses the SQL Backtrack for Oracle. I have not seen any problems and have been running at this lev

We just went through this upgrade with 2 drives this past weekend and all went pretty well. The only tapes that I had to set to "readonly" were those in a "filling" status. I have run the library approx 10 hrs/day since then and have not had any problems reading the old tapes. We have found a hand

Have you tried increasing the commtimeout and/or idletimeout options? It sounds like the server is breaking the connection. "Braich, Raminder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/16/2001 10:

On unix you can use the find command to identify the files that haven't been modified in x number of days and copy them to another directory that you can then archive from. find searchpath -mtime +numberof days -exec mv {} targetpath \; -exec echo {} \; dsmc archive -DELETEFILEs "targetpath" >

Re: Does Reclamation work for Tape Capacity?

2001-01-24 Thread S W Branch
Copied directly from the TSM 4.1 Administrator's Guide at Tivoli's Web site - For offsite volumes, reclamation can occur when the percentage of unused space on the volume is greater than the reclaim parameter value. The unused space includes both space that has never been used on the volume and s

Re: Repeated mount of bad scratch tape

2000-12-29 Thread S W Branch
I thought there was a ptf somewhere along the way that addressed this problem. I thought it's supposed to set the volume to private so that it doesn't attempt to mount the same scratch tape again. I think Richard already suggested upgrading software. What level are you running? Steve Branch Phill

How about etherchannel? Quoting from the AIX 4.3.3 Release Notes, "Etherchannel is an aggregation technology that ships with AIX 4.3.3. With Etherchannel, you can produce a single large pipe by combining the bandwidth of multiple ethernet adapters. The aggregated pipe appears to be a single ethern

Are you really rebooting the client? Wouldn't that sever the communication connection between the client and server and possibly prevent the sending of a completion message back to the server? Wouldn't that cause the server to think that the scheduled command had failed? Try changing the reboot st

Re: Restore Volume from offsite tapes

2000-09-28 Thread S W Branch
To follow up on what Richard said about the gripper, have you looked at the bottom of the library? Several years ago we were missing a tape. The library said the tape was present, but ADSM couldn't mount it. We visually examined all cells in the library (thankfully, it was only a single frame) and

Re: I have a ( stupid) netware restore question

2000-08-10 Thread S W Branch
Chris, I've seen this behavior prior to availability of the levels of server and client that supported long file names in Novell. It had to do with collisions in converting the file/directory name to the DOS 8.3 format and the order in which the files/directories were processed during the restore.

Joshua, Try adding the option "nwpwfile yes". I used to intermittently see this problem when the scheduler attempted to connect to Netware - I would type in the Netware user id and password again and it would run fine for months. I haven't seen this problem at all since I added this option. Stev
