Re: NT Recovery: Boot Disks?

2000-12-01 Thread James Thompson

I used to know how to make a MS DOS Client network disk to attach to Novell
servers.  lsl.com, NICdriver.com,ipxodi,netx or vlm.  Can anyone point me to
information on a MS DOS Client network disk to a NT server?

I don't know dsmapitca/dsmtca, all I know, that your udb is going to look
for the tsm dll file.. this should be located somewhere under your nt\system
something directory.. sorry, I am a unix guy.. don't know too much about
m$ things, and right now there is no machine around with windows installed...
I remember having some problem locating the dsm.opt file and I remember
puting it next to the dll... but I am not quite sure, it happened more than
a year ago.

I think so.
You can set these parameters with
db2 "set db cfg for  using  "
You should set at least the nodename, management class and password.
Owner is not critical.

After setting everything you can try to run a db2 backup by
db2 backup database  use adsm

If you get some error code, there is a dsmrc.h in your tsm api install dir,
you can check them there. Also check your *SM server actlog.

Good luck!

check out the tape:
checkout libvolume YOUR_TAPE_LIBRARY TAPE123

(note: we also specify the options "remove=bulk" and "checklabel=no" to speed
up things)


mark it offsite:
update volume TAPE123 access=offsite

These are covered in the TSM Admin and Reference guides.


Are you wanting to send the only copy on-site, or is this the Copypool tapes?

Re: TSM-SQL-question..

2000-12-01 Thread Tom Tann{s

OK, thanks.

I thought I hade been through the list, but to quick.

Took a new round, and this entry from Andy Raybeck was what I missed
before I posted my message.

Sorry. I should have studied the list more carefully before I posted..

You are correct. the design of the SELECT * FROM EVENTS was intended
 to present only events for today (just like QUERY EVENTS). However,
 I agree that the design ought to be changed to reflect the SQL
 standard: that is, SELECT * FROM  presents *all* records
 in that table, not just certain ones. In the case of QUERY EVENTS,
 you can query events as far back as you want, but the status may
 be "uncertain" if the events go back further than your event record
 retention setting. So in my opinion, SELECT * FROM EVENTS should
 show you all events that are available within the event record
 retention timeframe.

 This is a change I am lobbying for with the server developers.

 Regards,

 Andy

I hope your lobbying will work!

Re: NT Recovery: Boot Disks?

2000-12-01 Thread Prather, Wanda

I don't think you can even do it with FAT, because if you are booted to DOS
you have no long file-name support.
The original bare-metal recovery Redbook from IBM had instructions for
something I think they called "tunneling", which would let you do a recovery
without long file-name support.

But it is so messy and requires so many steps, it is much worse than just
installing a new copy of NT, in my opinion.

Instead of avoiding it, look at ways to make it faster, such as using a
product like Ghost to lay down an already-prepared bootable NT disk

Re: Checkout tapes for offsite

2000-12-01 Thread Lawrence Clark

Hi Raminder:
It all depends on your specific site. I'll assume your like most shops and you have a 
copypool that is updated each day with new incremental data, and it is those volumes 
you want to checkout. So you want to:
1). Find out the new copypool volume in the library that are not offsite
2). Check them out
3). Update thier staus to offsite

We use a script for this that is executed each day just after the TSM DB and critical 
file backups. I think the sample script can be found in the ADSM-L archives. But you 
can do it via the command line in this sequence:

1).select volume_name from volumes where stgpool_name='YOURCOPYPOOL' AND NOT 
access='OFFSITE'
2). CHECKOUT LIBV ..
3). UPD VOL xx acc=offsite

TSM's

I know there's a lot of work being done on connecting 3575 ATL's
thru an
IBM SAN Data Gateway so there's a good chance someone else (besides
me)
has had the following connection problem:

After connecting the 3575L12 to the SAN Data Gateway all scsi
devices
(/dev/rmt0 /dev/rmt1 /dev/smc0) become visible to AIX as scsi (fcp)
devices, but when doing a read test on any of the drives it
responds
with a device not ready, errno 46. Opening the drive and querying
it's
status does not return an error, only when trying to physically do
something to a tape in the drive causes a drive shutdown: device
not
ready. The robot (/dev/smc0) is working fine, using tapeutil tapes
can be shuffled around without a problem.

I've made sure that the very latest on software is installed on AIX

Anybody have a clue ?

Subject: Rename NT Server Service
Author:  "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at INET-1
Date:11/30/00 10:57 PM


Hello,

Renaming the NT server services is not recommended.

The server initialization wizard creates up to four instances of the server
and names the services:

  TSM Server1
  TSM Server2
  TSM Server3
  TSM Server4

The server utilities depends on these names for certain operations.   If
you rename them then the server will work but the wizards and other
features of the server utilities will not work properly with the renamed
service.

If you must rename the services for some reason then it is better to use
remove.exe and install.exe that are located in the ...\tivoli\tsm\utils
directory.  You can run each with no arguments to get a usage message. The
majority of the dsmcutil parameters do not apply to the server and you will
have difficulty specifying the service location doing it that way.

   Subject: Rename NT Server Service

   Does anyone know how to change the NT Service for the TSM Server?  I
   used
   the 4.1 wizard and the service was created as "Server 1".  I would like
   to
   rename/delete and recreate it with a more appropriate name.

Re: Oracle/rman tdp failing

2000-12-01 Thread James Thompson

What level of Oracle are you running.  If it is 8.0.5 or 8.0.6 you
can try running the makefile again to relink the library file.
If it is 8.1.5 or 8.1.6, check to make sure the symbolic link in
the Oracle path points to the library file in the TSM path.
find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \;
Will search for all the libobk.a so that you can see if a wrong
library file is being used.

What level of TDP for Oracle are you using?
If in the Rman script you specify DSMO_DEBUG=49, you will
generate a file orcagent.log which is fairly easy to read.
You may spot the error there.  Also check for a dsierror.log
being generated.  And of course check the ADSM activity log to
see if a sesssion was opened on the ADSM server.

So long all, and thanks for your assistance.

2000-12-01 Thread Daniel Swan-TM

I'm going to be signing off the list later this afternoon, but just want to
take a moment to say 'bye' to everyone.

I'd like to thank everyone on this list for all of the help and guidance
you've given.  I've been very impressed with the
level of skill and professionality on this list.  In the new year, my
employer will be getting a dedicated ADSM person,
which will free me up for my more unix-oriented duties.

In the way of giving back, I'd like to give back, in a tongue in cheek
manner, the three most important things I've learned in the last 5 months of
ADSMing:

1)  ADSM is a four letter word.

2)  Friends don't let friends administrate ADSM.

3)  It's easier to backup than to restore.

and one more thought, which I already knew from previous experience:

4)  Tapes are cheaper than data.


Best of luck all, and thanks again,
Dan.

Oracle/rman tdp failing

2000-12-01 Thread James Healy

Can anyone help with the error messages I'm grtiing from my oracle dba's attempt to 
run Rman backups tiot tsm uping the TDP.

ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file, name="HRMP11292000HRMP.270.1.bkp", 
parms=""

ORA-27006: sbtremove returned error

Additional information: 4110

Additional information: 1

I had the dba open this as a problem to Oracle and this was their response:

***

These types of errors deal with linking problems of the MML.



Circulation: PUBLISHED (EXTERNAL)

Folder: server.Rdbms.Recovery.RMan

Topic: Reference Articles

Title: ORA-19506: FAILED TO CREATE SEQUENTIAL FILE, USING ADSM TO BACKUP TO TAPE.

A search on metalink will retrieve some bulletins on some well known linking issues 
with various MML providers (Veritas, Legato, etc..), and those are typically useful 
but somewhat generic.

Oracle Supports Rman's ability to successfully backup to disk. If there exists a 
problem backing up to tape the MML vendor should be contacted fot those issues.

I called the ct to discuss the issue.

They have been successfully backing up to tape for months.

This machine is logically divided up into several different logical nodes and the 
target and catalog reside on different nodes. So, this may be a linking issue (as is 
typical in this situation).

The ct states that his libobk is linked to the one provided byt the vendor.

He can contact them to ensure that it is linked correctly etc...

*

So they're claiming its a TYM issue.

I'm able to backup a normal TSM client no problem.

So I insist to the DBA's its in the RMAN setup which I have no control over and he 
doesn't know very well.

anyone?

Re: Failure of Archive Events with 4.11.16 client on NT

2000-12-01 Thread Rushforth, Tim

All of the testing I have done has been on windows NT 4.
With 3.1.06 client, schedule an archive for the pagefile, 1 object failed,
schedule shows as failed on the server.

With both the 3.7.2 and 4.11.16 clients, 1 object failed, schedule shows as
completed on server.  Also in the dsmsched.log will be the following:

With 3.1.0.6:
ANS1803E Archive processing of 'C:\*' finished with failures.
ANS1512E Scheduled event '@216' failed.  Return code = 4.

With 3.7.2 or 4.11.16:
ANS1803E Archive processing of '\\node1\c$\*' finished with failures.
Scheduled event '@229' completed successfully

The APAR that TIVOLI mentioned to me is APAR IC27409 below - which didn't
really seem to match my problem but they assured me that this covered my
problem also and that it would be fixed in 4.1.2.

_ APAR
IC27409___

RESULT CODE FROM COMPLETION OF SCHEDULED EVENT IS NOT
DISPLAYED IN THE SCHEDULE LOG AS DOCUMENTED.

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Publication SH26-4105-00 Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX
Using the Backup-Archive Clients indicates that the return code
from a scheduled event will be displayed in the schedule log:
Finished command. Return code is:
In testing with the AIX 3.7.2.0 client this line is not
observed in the schedule log.

LOCAL FIX:
The result code is sent to the server and can be determined by
reviewing the output of a Query Event command.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:

* USERS AFFECTED: All clients  *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Schedule reports "Scheduled event   *
*  completed successfully" inspite of  *
*  errors during backup.   *

* RECOMMENDATION:  *

 PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
 The routine that prints out the results of executing schedule
 event was passed wrong parameter, that caused wrong message
 to be displayed. Code was modified to handle the situation
 properly.

Methinks it's not a universal bug... we've got plenty of 3.1 & 3.7 clients

regressed the event process somewhere in 4.1(?), or am I mistaken?

TSM-SQL-question..

2000-12-01 Thread Tom Tann{s

Hello!
Any SQL-experts out there?

I have no experience with sql except from the few things I have learned
from the tsm-implementation.

I want to query the events-table for avents for, lets say the last 24
hours.

Just like with the q events, only entries since today 00:00 are displayed
as default.
in the q events you can add begind=today-1, begint=now-24 and similar.

Is it possible to do the same in a sql-statement?

I have been playing around a little, but the only way I have come up with
so far is to enter the fromdate explicitely like

tsm: SUMO>select SCHEDULED_START,NODE_NAME,SCHEDULE_NAME from events where
SCHED  ULED_START \> '2000-11-30 12:13:14'

works, and I thought also the following wold works, but only returns
entries from after today 00:00:

tsm: SUMO>select SCHEDULED_START,NODE_NAME,SCHEDULE_NAME from events where
 cast((current_timestamp-SCHEDULED_START)hours as decimal) < 24


What am I missing here?

Any suggestions/comments on this wold be appreciated..

Backupset Management

2000-12-01 Thread Jeffery Carroll

Hello,

I'm looking for any input involving tape management of backupsets.Since
they are not handled via DRM, they have to managed via alternate means.
In lieu of any 3rd party products that do handle backupsets, I was just
curious as to how you all handle management, sending offsite...etc.   Do
you have any custom scripts or any SQL select statements that might be
handy in handling this?   I'm running TSM 3.7.4 on NT Server 4.0.

Re: Install problem with a 3502-108 DLT changer

2000-12-01 Thread James Thompson

First off you should upgrade from the 3.7.0.0 GA code.
Secondly,  to see if you have it set correctly, post the output
of ADSMDLIST.EXE FILENAME .  This executable is located in the UTILS
directory where TSM is installed.  You can also play around with LBTEST.EXE
in the same directory.  LBTEST.EXE allows you to move tapes around in the
library.

ADSM 3.1.2.90?

Hello,
some weeks ago I reported an error with the STK ACSLS interface to
IBM/Tivoli. I got the answer that it is a known error which is fixed in
level 3.1.2.90. This release was expected to come out soon and would be the
last fix release for ADSM version 3. I just checked at index.storsys.ibm.com
in the directories fixes and fixtest, but could not find any new fixrelease.
Does anybody know when we can expect it?

What version of TDP for R/3 are you using?  Is a dsierror.log created?  What
does the brbackup logs report as errors?

TSM 4.1.1 (September Version), Windows 2000 Server and Crashes

2000-12-01 Thread Kelly J. Lipp

Gang,

Scenario above.  We are seeing an unusual number of crashes.  Libraries are
Qualstar AIT and IBM 3575.  Simple blue screen with little information.

Based on this slim evidence, anybody else experiencing such a thing or any
ideas?

Thanks,

I'll continue to gather information and post it here.

Include/Exclude list

2000-12-01 Thread Jim Kirkman

Hey again,

We've been forced into the workstation backup business and I'm trying to
come up with as restrictive an options file as we can get away with.

The goal is to restrict backups to personal documents and Netscape
browser and email settings (well the real goal is to have folks use the
existing server to store files but...). We've been playing with various
include and exclude arrangements and have noticed some interesting
behavior. We can get it down to where we've got the desired files and
folders backed up using the list below:

Include "C:\Documents & Settings\XXX\My Documents\XXX\*.*"
Include "C:\Documents & Settings\XXX\My Documents\XXX\*"
Include "C:\Documents & Settings\XXX\My Documents\XXX\...\*"
Include "C:\Documents & Settings\XXX\My Documents\XXX\...\*.*"
Include "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\default\*.*"
Include "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\default\*"
Include "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\default\...\*"
Include "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\default\...\*.*"
Exclude.dir "C:\Program Files\Netscape\users\default\cache"

Now, if I put Exclude "?:*" at the top of this list, no other files on
the disk are backed up but the directory structure is. Not terrible from
a space standpoint but could be pretty confusing for a user trying to
restore something. If, however I make the top (last) statement
Exclude.dir "?:*" then nothing but files at the root of C: are backup up
!? In other words it overrides all the include statements below it,
what's up with that?

Any suggestions other than a whole slew of exclude.dir statements? What
I really need is a global exclude after processing the includes.

This is client level 4.1.1_16 backing up to ADSM 3.1.2.50 on OS\390 2.6

thanks,

success of admin schedules

Hello admins,

simple Question: how do you control the success of admin schedules?

1) do you believe q event output? 

or

2) q actlog (how do you automate that)

Background:

(adsm on mvs) the mvs host was restarted and therefore db backup could not
finish

There may be scratch tapes - but they must be on-site and in read-write state
for the Backup Stgpool to proceed.  Make sure you are having
expiration-emptied tapes recalled from the offsite location on a regular basis
to replenish your scratch pool.

Changing Servers OS390 to SUN

2000-12-01 Thread Luci Ziebart

I have numerous questions on this subject:
 Today our ADSM Server 3.1.2.50 resides on OS390 2.5 and our output media is on
3490e cartridges.  We are planing to upgrade to TSM 4.1 and  the server  will
reside on  UNIX Sun Solaris, the output media will be STK's 9840's PowderHorn
9310 silo and will be fibre attached to a brocade switch.  This in preparation
for a SAN enviorment.

1) Can we Import our Mainframe server to the Sun?
2) Will we beable to use the data that resides on the 3490e cartridges after we
move to the Sun Server?

Also, we will be eliminating Novell and replacing  this with a NT solution.
Since, most of our archives and long term backups are associated with the Novell
servers.

1) Will we beable to restore/retrieve a Novell file to a NT system?
2) Is there a conversion tool?

Thanks



Re: backup stgpool fails..

One cause can be that the copypool maxscratch limit has been reached.  The
maxscratch sets the maximum number of scratch volume that can be used by the
stroage pool.

Re: backup stgpool fails..

One cause for this that I had here was we had a few scratch tapes available but there 
were defective.  Look at your actlog carefully and see if you are getting other 
messages (I forget message number) like "Mount request failed" or similar type 
happening within a few minutes of you errors.

Automated Admin Access.

2000-12-01 Thread asr

Greetings, all.


I have several scripts I run to perform "automatic" maintainance and profiling
on my storage pools.  Some of these scripts have bits that require a real
admin logon (such as a BACK STG PREVIEW=YES) so I've heretofore run them
attended, and typed in userid and password.  I'd really like them to be able
to run completely unattended, but I hate the thought of leaving ID and
password hanging around on a filesystem in plaintext.

Have any of you folks encountered and/or solved this problem on AIX?

Hmm.. An IP filter, permitting or forbidding admins access based on where
they're coming from might make this simpler..

Re: ADSM and DB2 (really UDB 6)

2000-12-01 Thread Jim Kirkman

Hello,

Some followup questions on this. I followed the following steps/tips
(thanks go to bx for the detailed response!) My notes below original
steps. This is UDB on  NT trying to talk to ADSM 3.1.2.50 on OS\390 2.6

1. install db2
already done by IBM

 2. install adsm/tsm _api_ client ( version 3 or higher for udb )
ver 4.1.1_16

 3. set the enviroment variables to point to your *sm installation
 ( this is described in the udb admin guide )
added the following: DSMI_CONFIG >c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient
   DSMI_LOG>c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\api
   DSMI_DIR>c:program files\tivoli\tsm\api
Now- the DSMI_DIR is supposed to identify the path where the API trusted
agent file is located. The manual says this should be dsmapitca or
dsmtca. Couldn't locate either file anywhere on either drive, so what's
up there? Obviously guessing at the path.


 5. configure your database for *sm, see "db2 get db cfg for ",
and
 check/set your *sm variables.
 ( they are adsm_* in udb 6, but tsm_* in udb 7 IIRC )

when I run the get db cfg command (after db2stop and db2start) it shows
the ADSM  parameters but with no entries. Am I skipping or missing a
step here?

 7. enjoy

 Oh. And don't forget to set up the management class for your backups as
it is
 described in the redbooks... :)

 Hope this helps.

 bx

I did configure UDB to backup the database locally and can use ADSM to
get a copy of this backup but it'd be nice to get the direct hook
working.

Quick and dirty from a bat or cmd file in the baclient directory of TSM...

dsmadmc -id=myadminid -password=myadminpw -outfile=qstg.txt q stg

This command would invoke dsmadmc, provide the admin id and password,
redirect the output via the -outfile parameter and them issue the command q
stg

This can also be done outside of the TSM directory, but that is another
matter. This will get you going.

Re: Problems with 3570 drives on SAN Gateway

2000-12-01 Thread Leos Stehlik

Walter,

first, I would recommend you to use newer version of the Atape drivers -  we
have tested
the 5.3.9 level with 3570s through Data Gateway.
Then try to issue hostTypeShow on the Data Gateway and make sure that the
port to wich is the AIX
box connected is of type AIX. The default parameter is NT. You can change
the host type with the
setHost command on the Data Gateway.
On AIX, issue lsattr -El fcsX (where X is the number of the fcs device) and
check the max_xfer_size parameter, which is by default of this value
0x10, but you need to change it to 0x100.
If it won't work after all this, try to issue initializeBox on the Data
Gateway, then remove all the tape devices on AIX and reboot (not only
cfgmgr).

And of course, first of all, I would recommend you also to try to connect
the drives locally through SCSI to your AIX box - only to make sure that the
problem is not in the drives itself.

Leos

dsm/dsmafs performance

2000-12-01 Thread Peter Dümpert

Hi TSM-development,

my situation

1. we are an AFS-site, where the user's HOME's are in AFS and every
   user has it's own filespace, resulting in ca. 2 filespaces.
2. A normal filespace has the following naming:
/afs/tu-bs.de/usr/usrXX/individual-user
   whereby the XX is actually the resp. user's UID modulo 100, i.e.
let XX=$UID%100
3. The actual backup is done in 4 streams in parallel, i.e.
stream A processes /afs/tu-bs.de/usr/usr0  ... /usr24
stream B processes /afs/tu-bs.de/usr/usr25 ... /usr49
stream C processes /afs/tu-bs.de/usr/usr50 ... /usr74
stream D processes /afs/tu-bs.de/usr/usr75 ... /usr99 
   in a loop over the given range of "usrXX", checking wether the
   AFS-volume of the resp. user has been changed during the last 3 days.
4. This process works fine, i.e. we process all our AFS-USER-HOMES in 
   about 2-3 hours on an IBM H70, 1GB, 100MBit Ethernet

Now the problem
===
5. If a user tries to do a restore via a dsm/dsmafs-wrapper, which sets
   an environment-variable called USER_DIR, which is subsequently used
   in dsm.sys via
VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT ${USER_DIR}
   and in dsm.opt 
DOMAIN ${USER_DIR}
   the user is then presented with the ca. 2 filespaces of user's
   he isn't interested in and finding HIS filespace is really not very 
   much fun.
6. If we create a 1-line "$HOME/.adsmrc" containing
FindStartPath.Restore=$USER_DIR
   we can tell the user to use the "looking glas"-icon to start with
   the propper path in the "Find Files (Restore)"-window which makes
   life much easier.

Now my questions:
=

7. Is the time- AND resource-wasting build-up of the ca. 2 presented
   filespaces necessary or is there a shortcut in just presenting the 
   requested filespace ( given by VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT / DOMAIN ) ?

8. The feature in 6. is undocumented. Please give Your comments on this.

Hope for some answer

Problems with 3570 drives on SAN Gateway

2000-12-01 Thread Walter Ridderhof

TSM's

I know there's a lot of work being done on connecting 3575 ATL's thru an
IBM SAN Data Gateway so there's a good chance someone else (besides me)
has had the following connection problem:

After connecting the 3575L12 to the SAN Data Gateway all scsi devices
(/dev/rmt0 /dev/rmt1 /dev/smc0) become visible to AIX as scsi (fcp)
devices, but when doing a read test on any of the drives it responds
with a device not ready, errno 46. Opening the drive and querying it's
status does not return an error, only when trying to physically do
something to a tape in the drive causes a drive shutdown: device not
ready. The robot (/dev/smc0) is working fine, using tapeutil tapes
can be shuffled around without a problem.

I've made sure that the very latest on software is installed on AIX
(4.3.3 with IY05369, ATAPE 5.1.4.2) and the Gateway (03.41.27). The 3570
drives are at microcode level 5424.

Anybody have a clue ?

Subject: Rename NT Server Service
Author:  "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at INET-1
Date:11/30/00 10:57 PM


Hello,

Renaming the NT server services is not recommended.

The server initialization wizard creates up to four instances of the server
and names the services:

  TSM Server1
  TSM Server2
  TSM Server3
  TSM Server4

The server utilities depends on these names for certain operations.   If
you rename them then the server will work but the wizards and other
features of the server utilities will not work properly with the renamed
service.

If you must rename the services for some reason then it is better to use
remove.exe and install.exe that are located in the ...\tivoli\tsm\utils
directory.  You can run each with no arguments to get a usage message. The
majority of the dsmcutil parameters do not apply to the server and you will
have difficulty specifying the service location doing it that way.

   Subject: Rename NT Server Service

   Does anyone know how to change the NT Service for the TSM Server?  I
   used
   the 4.1 wizard and the service was created as "Server 1".  I would like
   to
   rename/delete and recreate it with a more appropriate name.

   TIA

   For NT

   go to the location of the backup client (i.e.  c:\program
   files\tivoli\tsm\baclient)

   run the command   dsmcutil   remove /name:"server 1"

   then rundsmcutil install  /name..with all the required
   parameters, the
   parameter list is availble in the online help of the application

Re: Missing Requisites

2000-12-01 Thread Walter Ridderhof

 Yasmin,

 you will have to remove the devices.rte fileset before installing
 devices.fcprte. I downloaded 3.7.3 from the Tivoli TSM site, try
 this:

 ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/mainte
 nance/server/v3r7/AIX/3.7.3.0/

 As a possible alternative, just uninstall the 3.7.3.8 ..devices.rte and
 then try to selectively install the 3.7.3.8 ...devices.fcprte. If this
 doesn't work then install 3.7.3.0 ...devices.fcprte followed by the 3.7.3.8
 devices.fcprte patch.

 regards Walter Ridderhof

Hi Walter Ridderhof,
Thanks for the input. I've installed tivoli.tsm.devices.rte 3.7.3.8. In that
case, do I have to remove that fileset? Where can I get
tivoli.tsm.devices.fcprte 3.7.3.0? Thank you again.

Rgds,
Yasmin
