Re: Corrupted LTO CM Index
Hi, what type of tape is it ? Imation, IBM... ? When did you get them, 2003 or sooner ? We have to replace all Imation tapes delivered between 2001 and 2002 !!

Re: read errors on tape, files wont expire
Have anyone seen that a faulty tape can stop TSM from expire data?!? dont see how that could possible happen but who knows Is there some situation inciting the question? A short answer. A support organisation suggested to delete a faulty tape. The tape conatins some TDP files that does not expire like I hoped they would do. We are now working on other ideas than deleting the tape... //Henrik --- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.

disk pool sizing (again)?
Currently my TSM box backs up about 160-180GB each night. Recently I purchased enough disk so the entire night's backup can go to disk, migrate to the tape library (four tape drives). When the disk was allocated to disk pools it was divided into multiple sections for the different categories/policies (exchange, database, other, etc.). There is a simple job running with some frequency to capture the amount of these disk resources that are currently in use. The disk resources do not seem to be used consistently or fully. My question is should I destroy all the individual devices and lump the devices into one large pool so that the entire night's backup is written as quickly as possible (then migrated), or should things stay the same? Since TSM manages the files written to disk within these disk devices, then I feel TSM should have the whole shoe box to slice and dice as it it sees fit, but I don't know Mike
disaster recovery test
Hi all, I am currently at a disaster recovery test and am having a problem finding my TSM DB tape. The DRM plan is calling for a tape that doesn't appear to be here.

can server-free do this?
We have a shark and are looking at getting a fastT. Currently one platform uses the shark's ability to 'snap' backups. We're considering doing the same 'snap'ping of backups with the other two platforms (aix with the shark and intel with the fastT). If the platform snaps a backup, is there a way through the SAN fabric to mount that filesystem (difficult for intel I think) directly to the tsm server (AIX) so the tsm server reads the files instead of using a tsm client on the client nodes? I'm thinking that if I can even mount the intel filesystem (NTFS) that I must backup the filesystem using blocks rather than files. Mike

Re: Msgs ACO5059W and ACO5422E
Jeff, I haven't seen this specific HRESULT code before. I also don't see this message in SQL Server error codes, (HRESULT converted 55F3 = 55F0 + 3 = 22000 + 3). This may be a case where the SQL Server hit an unexpected error and passed that back to Data Protection for SQL (resulting in the Message text not available. message.) If this continues, a Data Protection for SQL trace will help narrow this one further. You may also want to look around at the VDI error log and Application Event Log. Go here for some other ideas for problem determination: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/TSMM/SC32-9103-00/en_US/HTML/index.html Look under the Data Proection for SQL category.

Eliminating copy storage pool
Our Storage Administrator asked if we could do away with our offsite copy storage pool.They would duplex our current onsite backups on a VTS, the backend 9840 tapes would be sent offsite, eliminating the need for TSM's copy--storage-pool processing.

Question about four TSM-servers sharing together a 3494-library
Hello, TSM-servers 5.1.7.3 on AIX 5.2.0.2, 3494-library with 9 drives. We already have a setup for library-sharing between two servers sharing one 3494-library with 9 drives. Now we are thinking of spliting one tsm-server in three logical tsm-servers and spread them also over three physical machines. So besides the already configured library-client, we want to configure two more library-clients on two different machines. After I setup server-to-server communications, and want to define a shared library on the library-client; I get authentication errors. On the library manager there was one other server defined. Now I defined a second one. On the library-clients I defined also an other-server (library-manager), on both library clients the same other-server definition for the library-manager, with the exception of the password. Is it necessary to use the same serverpassword in all the other-server definitions on the library-client and -manager or can I f.i. use the cross-define option on the library-manager when defining an other-server for the client to communicate? Any hints or tips are very welcome. Thanx, Mike _ Don t just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200636ave/direct/01/

TDP SQL restore problem
I have client W2K with SQL 2000 and TSM client 4.2.1.20 and TDP SQL 2.2.0.0. TSM server is 5.2.3.0 on AIX. I have been doing FULL and LOG backups of this DB for sometime.

The dbname is PwHcProd01 and SQL Enterprise shows the Logical names are pwhctest01_* (I guess it was test and moved to Production later. The above command gives the least errors of many variations tried. The DB, prod_092604 does not exist, SQL should create it, right?

Re: Moving TSM from one server to another!
When I moved my TSM server to another machine I just copied the database, logs and config files to the new machine. I used NFS but you can use tape, CD, DVD - whatever is convenient. I'm pretty sure I installed the new TSM server first and then overwrote the dsmserv.dsm, dsmserv.opt, Volume_History and Device_Configuration files that the installation process created with the ones from my old server. The old server will need to be down when you copy the database and logs. If you made the mount points for the database and logs the same you can bring TSM up and check it out. Once you're happy with the new installation then connect up your tape library and you're good to go. Another option is to try our you're disaster recovery procedures and try to restore and rebuild your TSM server on the new machine.
