Re: Scratch tape questions
I always say, "The only naïve/stupid/dumb question you have is the one you don't ask." 1.) Previously answered by Mr. Stapleton 2.) There are ways to manually audit (and I have done this) the various entries for TSM Tapes. Tapes are either in the DRMEDIA inventory and offsite, onsite and used by a storage pool, offsite and unused or onsite and unused. This is a complex process and must be approached carefully. But very doable!!! Contact me if you desire additional information. 3.) Run an SQL SELECT statement to list your environment's tape inventory. I like to look at volumes used by STGPOOL as well as TSM Library inventory levels. A: Volumes used by STGPOOL: select stgpool_name,devclass_name,count(*) as VOLUMES from volumes group by stgpool_name,devclass_name NOTE: This will list volumes for ALL device classes, not just tape. B: TSM Library inventory: select count(*) as Volumes,status,library_name,owner,last_use from libvolumes group by library_name,owner,status,last_use NOTE: This will report volumes used in a TSM Library sharing environment. If NOT in library sharing, you may have to alter accordingly. Watch your stgpool volume utilizations from #3.a and your scratch count availability from #3.b. Hopefully, you are able to maintain a healthy scratch count. If not, these queries will let you know. You could also add a report to show reclamation opportunities by storage pool to assist determining where to focus your reclamation efforts. John G.

Re: Feedback on TSM running on Sun/Solaris
I am interested in this. I am planning to migrate my TSM Server on
HP-UX to AIX. Other than export/import, do I have other better choice?
During the migration, I only have 1 tape library. BTW, TSM Server is
5.2.2.
TIA

AsyncIO on AIX for TSM?
Does anyone use AsyncIO on AIX with TSM? Any performance boost/slowdown over not enabling AsyncIO (AIO) and just using DirectIO? We just implemented TSM 5.2.3 on AIX v5.3 using AsyncIO, and I'm not sure what it uses AsyncIO for (just the database, or does that include the dispool?), I've noticed that when we are migrated diskpool to tape (LTO2) and have backups to said diskpool our transfer rates do not seem as good as previous (before enabling AsyncIO). Just wondering what other TSM'ers know about the AIO option with TSM. Jonathan Kaufman Visit us on-line at footlocker.com.

I hope these aren't "naive" questions. 1 - How do I know if there are any tapes at the offsite storage that should be onsite and be available for scratch?
