I'm planning on using them in their standard STK9840 mode, and was wondering what was the point of emulating other tape types. My servers will all be running on Solaris and your mention of OS/390 is probably enough of a clue for me. That'll teach me for having OS-tunnel-vision.
Re: stk 9710
Hi Kelly, We're running a StorageTek 9710 direct to ADSM (ie not with ACSLS). On Sat, 9 Sep 2000, Kelly J. Lipp wrote: > The syntax of the label libvol command is wrong. It should be: > label libvol libname search=yes volrange=1stvol,lastvol checkin=scratch > You can't use the labelsource parameter. Yes you can, but you must use the search=bulk command to get the barcodes from the CAP. Here is the command we use to label and checkin new tapes. label libvol stk9710 search=bulk checkin=scratch labelsource=barcode Carl.
NT client 3.7.2.0 installation
Hi all, I am installing TSM NT client 3.7.2.0 to NT4.0 SP5 for customer today. During installation, there are a few problems: 1) During installation, there are two prompts of "Severe: The service cannot be installed due to an unknown error". 2) I uninstall TSM client, and reboot machine. Reinstall TSM client got the same two prompts of error. 3) I skip these errors and finished installation. in command line, run dsmc archive (or inc) on a small file (dsm.opt) Dr watson: dsmc.exe Exception: access violation (0xc005) Address 0x0047b1cb 4) In GUI, archive a file, there is ANS5148W message found in dsmerror.log as below. The node is newly registered on TSM server (AIX TSM3.7.3.0) and I don't why there is such an message. ANS5148W The server needs to do a one-time conversion of your archive data before you can continue. This operation may take a long time, and cannot be canceled once it has started. Are you willing to wait for the conversion to complete? 5) I reply this message and archive on GUI works OK. Retrieve is also OK. 6) From "Services" in "Control panel", found that "Client Acceptor" & "Remote Client Agent" are installed but not "Central Scheduler Service". 7. Perform "dsmctuil installl scheduler" and scheduler service install OK. 8. In TSM Server, Define schedule to selective backup a small file on NT client, scheduler is running OK and the file is backup. Question: 1) how to determine what is the "service" cannot be installed. Does TSM install the 3 services "CAD, Scheduler, Remoteagent" by default, if so, will it be an indicator on scheduler installation error? 2) why command line got Dr watson but not GUI or scheduler? 3) The node is newly created on server, why is there ANS5148W message? 4) MS Exchange & Arcserve (evaluation copy) are installed on the NT box, any conflict to TSM?

What's the newest client version that works for FreeBSD
We're running the SCO version of the ADSM command line client, version 2.1 on FreeBSD (3.4 and 4.1). Is there any newer version that works with FreeBSD? We're only moderately happy with the 2.1 version - it's missing some important features (ability to backup specific directories/files), and it core dumps fairly frequently.

Re: MS Exchange Incremental Backups
We do use TDP for Exchange V1.1.2 and successfully restored a database with some incrementals. All this was done on a test environment and we hope we will never have to do it on a production server. Not that we have a doubt about TSM but having to restore means problems with the production database and do we find the cause. We did not test previous versions. Hope this help, Michel Engels Devoteam - MSB Belgium Sean McNamara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 09/08/2000 04:43:10 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Michel Engels/BE/Devoteam) Subject: MS Exchange Incremental Backups Hello Guru's, Real quick question - Do incremental backups work properly when running TDP for MS Exchange version 1.1.1 (Exchange Server 5.5 - Service Pack 3)? Has anyone been able to restore from a full and incremental backup?? Thanks, Sean McNamara Senior Analyst PJM Interconnection L.L.C. (610)666-4206

Re: Monitoring, and Generating alerts from ADSM.
We have some Perl scripts which query the activity logs and report on a bunch of things, like; * Tape requests (our Silo fillith over) * successful/missed scheduled sessions * Summaries * System alerts Most things get emailed to the appropriate person. Redirecting to a logging server wouldnt be too much of a hassle, I wouldn't think.
