Re: ANR1217E (insufficient mount points) ... TSM 4.2.1.9 ???
On Thu, 3 Jan 2002 07:54:39 -0600, it was written: >I went ahead yesterday and applied the patch to my production have a test environment> servers.

Unfortunately, 4.2.1.9 for Windows 2K presents another problem. Creating a backupset on an Ultrium tape drive with TSM 4.2.1.9 will regularly crash the TSM server. We've recreated the problem with two entirely separate systems. (The backupset gets created properly, but then the system promptly goes down hard.) Tivoli is aware of the problem, and is working on it. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: How to shutdown computer ?
I'm surprised you are seeing this. Normally, an ungraceful halt will not cause drive problems: when the system comes back up and TSM starts communications with the library, drives will be unloaded and operations should resume as normal.

notes from a unloaddb/loaddb
For those that are interested, we just completed a unload/loadformat/load of our TSM database. Our system is a RS6K-F80 running AIX4.3.3 running TSM 4.2.1.8. The database is 60GB in size with a 97% utilization. Disk is on an ESS connected via FC. We used an LTO drive to run the unload/load. The unload took just under 16hours. It stopped displaying the progress after a couple of hours (when are Tivoli going to fix this). The load took 10 hours. Database utilization dropped to 61% This is the first unload/load since we installed this system just over 12 months ago. I remember running this on our old Sun server round a year ago with a slightly smaller DB running TSM3.7.3. The unload ran for a similar time but the load ran for almost double the time. I think it may have been the result of a slower disk/CPU. Cheers, Suad --

You could also take a look at Bare Metal Restore - from VERITAS. It was formerly a TKG product, but TKG was aquired by and megerd into VERITAS. You can still get BMR for TSM from IBM channels.

Re: Mitigating Risk with TSM's incremental backups

Actually, I think there is a difference. MOVE DATA's intent is to clear off a volumes as fast as possible, and is why aggregates are not rebuilt. I would agree with you if the offsite volumes were first deleted, and then a backup of the primary pool was run. Of course, since this is actually a mixture of the two, it would work either way. > My understanding was that what > you are saying is only true if the aggregates are in the same pool.

Re: TSM Server connecting to ESS by FC
If you are going to order your own cables, just look up the specs in either the IBM sales Manual or in the IBM product Installation manual and buy them from a reliable dealer and you should have no problems. When we order cables, we tell our supplier the exact specs: 50u, multimode and also the connectors: SC, LC, MT-RJ, IBM Duplex Connector and the length. We have had no problems with any of the cables we have ordered. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Seay, Paul Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 3:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Server connecting to ESS by FC Yeah, I have some 50m cables.
