Re: Migration process using more than 1 tape drive eventhough mig proc =1
When the disk pool is full, a session can/will write directly to a tape in the "Next Storage Pool" for the disk pool. Run "q session f=d" and you will see which session is using the tape.

Migration process using more than 1 tape drive eventhough migproc =1
This problem is very particular I have occurances where a diskpool becomes full , or exceeds the Hi threshold and a migration process starts. Issuing a tape mount. About 3 mins later in the activity log another tape is mounted for the same tapepool. q proc shows only 1 tape mounted for the migration process q mount shows 2 tapes mounted and INUSE q vol f=d shows tapes are being updated changing one of the tapes to read-only sets its status to IDLE ( in q mount ), produces an error for a session from a node ???(Why as all backups go directly to disk) changing the tape back to readw , migration process continues to use the tape. I tried this again, this time mounted a new scratch tape , but still this is not showing in q proc for the migration process The storage pool has these settings Storage Pool Name: SP_DISK_POOL Storage Pool Type: Primary Device Class Name: DISK Estimated Capacity (MB): 4,000.0 Pct Util: 100.0 Pct Migr: 100.0 Pct Logical: 100.0 High Mig Pct: 90 Low Mig Pct: 85 Migration Delay: 0 Migration Continue: Yes Migration Processes: 1 Next Storage Pool: SP_TAPE_POOL Reclaim Storage Pool: Maximum Size Threshold: No Limit Access: Read/Write Description: SP Disk Pool for Filesystem Backups Overflow Location: Cache Migrated Files?: No Collocate?: Reclamation Threshold: Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed: Delay Period for Volume Reuse: Migration in Progress?: Yes Amount Migrated (MB): 437.13 Elapsed Migration Time (seconds): 453 Reclamation in Progress?: Volume Being Migrated/Reclaimed: Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN Last Update Date/Time: 06-11-2000 13:13:38 Also dev mount retention set to 1 min Now this is a problem as I'm using 3570 and only have 19 slots. The above problem causes 2 tapes to be partially filled wasting 1 valuble slot TSM = 3.7.3.8 TSM client= 3.7.2.15 Is there somthing about the migration process that isn't documented or is it a bug Regards Ped ( Pietro M D Brenni ) IBM Global Services Australia ZE06 (Zenith Centre - Tower A) Level 6, 821 Pacific Highway Chatswood NSW 2067 Sydney Australia Ph: +61-2-8448 4788 Fax: +61-2-8448 4006
Can ADSM backup Traditional-Chinese Windows NT 4.0 server?
Hi all, Now, I am testing to backup a Traditional-Chinese Windows NT 4.0 server by ADSM. The ADSM client hangs when it backup some files with Chinese filenames. My configuration is as follows: Client: Traditional -Chinese Windows NT 4.0 server with SP5 ADSM NT English client 3.1.0.8 Server: RS/6000 run on AIX 4.3.3 ADSM server 3.1.2.50 Is there any Chinese version of Windows NT adsm client? Or how to customize a English ADSM client version to backup a Chinese NT server? e.g. Any options parameters I need to set in dsm.opt file. Thanks for your attention Terence Chung server
Re: TSM 3.73. include/exclude statements: where should they be?
I have this statement in the server name stanza in the file dsm.sys Inclexcl /var/tsm/backup.exclude Naturally the directory and file name can be anything you like. This applies to Unix. NT/Windows does not use the include/exclude file.

Re: TSM 3.73. include/exclude statements: where should they be?
One other comment. If you modify the contents of the inclexcl file, you must restart the scheduler service because it only reads this file on startup.

Re: TSM 3.73. include/exclude statements: where should they be?
Besides the includes/excludes that can be defined on the client, you can also define cloptset's on the server for use with the client. That is Client Option Set. These are neat for those options that you might want to only keep one copy for a group of clients. len

Exclude List
Hello All - I was wondering in the NT environment, how you write up an exclude list for folders that contain a space. We could easily rename these folders, however, it would involve also changing names within various programs. Some, of course, are for Windows, therefore, those names cannot be changed. Therefore, how do I write up a folder name that contains spaces in the exclusion list - ? Thanks Terry

Which "manuals" are you looking at? Chapter 7 of the ADSM 3.1 Unix Backup-Archive Clients manual, under Creating an Include-Exclude Options File says: You can specify the include and exclude options in the client system options file. You can also create an include-exclude options file to exclude specific files from backup services, and to assign specific management classes to files. Under the specific Include and Exclude options description: Place this option in the Include-Exclude options file or the client system options file (dsm.sys). Richard Sims, BU
Re: retention
Hi Serge - I have version 3.7.2 at my server, soon to upgrade to 4.11 - Anyway, I thought that when an archive was created, it has to go out to the client, thus, it would put some burden on the client and network, or am I missing something? I want to implement archiving, but this is one of the problems that I am facing. I know backupsets are generated at the server end, but I am not pleased as to the way it needs to be done. For instance, it is not real easy to retrieve them. If I am only doing a filespace that is say 5 gigs, then it uses a whole tape and I cannot use the tape anymore. These are just to mention a few. Therefore, I have been looking at archiving - but I have been looking at 2 things - 1, the size of my database will probably grow at a super fast rate as we need to keep archives on a monthly basis for 7 years and 2, the network traffic. If I am looking at something wrong, someone please tell me. Thanks -Original Message- From: Serge Gaudet/EIG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 12:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: retention RECLAIM does not address the issue. It only prevents the TSM server from moving the active copies around to help reduce the number of tapes the pool uses following an inventory expiration process (and is an option of the storage pool configuration should you want to change it More info: Do an "help update stg" on your admin interface). What you want to do, the way you stated it, is set the REUSEDELAY=360 (also a parameter of the storage pool configuration). However, I don't think that is what you REALLY want to do. You should establish an ARCHIVE policy for your environment, and start using the archival process instead. At TSM 3.7+, the archives are generated and handled at the TSM server. Both the client and network don't get additionally burdened by this process. Food for thought: The REUSEDELAY=360 will get you to spend $ in tapes since you will not going to be able to recall ANY tapes freed up by reclamation for at least a year for this pool...
