Thanks Andrew. I just copied some junk out of the logs representative of the errors we are seeing every time. You are right, I should have sent the data from the same time frame but it doesn't make much difference. I'll try running it from the cli and see what happens. thanks again. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Objects Field In Client Schedule
Curtis, the dsmsched.log messages do not line up, time-wise, with the dsmerror.log messages. Do you have the schedlog from schedule start to finish and corresponding (time-wise) dsmerror messages? Unix is not my area of expertise, but if it is anything like Windows, you cannot wildcard file system names; you must spell them out. I'm not sure why the /exportdir file system was ignored. What happens if you run the equivalent function from the command line? That is, something like, dsmc archive "/exportdir/" "/*dbarch/" -archsymlink=no -subdir=yes -archmc=1moarch -desc="TEST TEST TEST" Try replacing "/*dbarch/" with the fully-qualified file system name? What happens?

Forcing migration questions
I have a disk storage pool which has the next storage pool set up to a manual tape library (DLT4000). The migration thresholds are set to default ( 90% high and 70% low). The disk storage pool is 99.9% utilized and the migration still has not taken place. I had no problem labeling the tapes or creating the volumes; but I had some type of issue with the device not being recognized. I had brought the server down and physically checked the attached scsi DLT4000. Since I restarted the system the automatic migration process has not taken place and I have no outstanding requests to load a tape. My Path is defined to the device also??? I would like to know how I should force the migration. I would also like to know where I should start looking to determine the root cause of the issue. Thanks, James
Re: Objects Field In Client Schedule
Hi Curtis, Sure, you should be able to do this. Essentially, the OBJECTS field would appear just as it would were you to specify it from the command line interface. It would help to see your problem in more context, i.e. output from QUERY SCHEDULE F=D for the problem schedule, dsmsched.log file, and dsmerror.log file. Make sure you don't use the QUIET option so you see as much info as possible in dsmsched.log.

Re: TSM Macintosh client "...out of memory"
Andy, Thank you very much for this lead. I checked the APAR and indeed running as root fixes the out of memory condition (caused by inadequate access privileges). However, I don't think any of our Mac OS X users run as root, rather as administrators or general users. A couple of months ago we saw a problem where the TSM backup for Administrators could not read the Macintosh HD and perform a backup. We would see backup completion statistics like 31 objects inspected, 0 objects backed up (on a system with 10's of thousands of user files). When we first encountered this problem, the Mac client had recently replaced their hard drive. The backups from GUI always failed when writing to the "old" filespace (Macintosh HD), which happened to be the volume name of the new. We tried re-naming the old Macintosh HD filespace, and the GUI for Administrators backup would then succeed when backing up to the new TSM filespace. I confess I do not remember seeing any ANS1030E messages associated with the above situation. Do you know if there is any connection between the two? So I have tried the same "fix" here in the "out of memory" condition, and yes, the TSM Backup for Administrators backup succeeds in backing up to a new filespace. However, running as an administrator, ./dsmc incr fails with "out of memory" after inspecting only a few objects. These results are confusing to me.

TSM and Pathlight on Linux Issues
Hi - We are in the process of installing a test TSM Linux Server. We are using RedHat 3, update 3 and TSM server version 5.2.4. We have an ADIC Pathlight VX, which has a small Physical ADIC Scalar 24 library with LTO drives. We are emulating an ADIC Scalar 1000 through the virtual library. The library is connected to a switch and the TSM server is within the SAN. I run the tsmscsi command and it states that it locates the ADIC Scalar 1000 and defines the device /dev/tsmscsi/lb0 However, when I try to define the library within TSM, I get the following: DEFINE PATH tsmlinux TSMLINUX01 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY DEVICE=/dev/tsmscsi/lb0 ONLINE=YES AUTODETECT=YES ANR8840E Unable to open device /dev/tsmscsi/lb0 with error 110. I can run the lbtest and open the device without issues. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
Re: TSM on Linux
Hi, If you're going to be moving a lot of data, make sure you are on ES3... 2.1 has issues with VM, it won't release cache memory fast enough, and you'll kill the box. This is fixed in the ES3 kernels. Other than that I would stay away from TSM 5.3 for a while. I just upgraded and I'm lucky to have the upgraded server last through the night where 5.2.X was rock solid. of course you can't go back - D'oh. We're also using a 3494 and 3590/3592s, fibre attached. No problem there other than a little fun with Qlogic/Brocade not playing nice unless you are using the 7.X.X Qlogic driver. Basically, if you get the mix right, you'll be golden. We troll through about 150TB and put about 1TB on tape a night without too much trouble (or at least we used to).

Windows SIS and RIS
I don't know if anyone is backing up a Microsoft Remote Installation Services (RIS) server with TSM but I'd be interested to know if anyone is using Single Instance Storage (SIS) in conjunction with it. We've got a RIS server that runs the Single Instance Storage Groveler service and is backed up daily with TSM. However I've come across an IBM technical article (ref. 1177720) that suggests that we may not be able to recover the data from our TSM backup. Having spoken to IBM Support, they pretty much confirm it. I don't like the work-around of using NTBACKUP as it requires a lot more space, and sort of defeats the object of having an enterprise backup infrastructure. This leaves me the DCR route. There's a Microsoft KB article (263027) relating to this that says "Your backup program does not need to understand SIS-linked files but it should understand NTFS file system reparse points." Before I submit the DCR, does anybody know where we are with support for reparse files. I know there have been problems with HSM stub files, but I thought reparse files were fundamentally supported by the (latest) TSM client? Regards Neil Schofield Yorkshire Water Services Ltd.

Re: Poor LanFree performance / mixed LAN xfer??
I learned something today; No matter how many times someone tells you a particular item has definitley, 100% absoloutley been configured correctly, go and check. Having LANFREECOMMMETHOD actually set to TCPIP can create the misleading impression that TSM is using TCPIP to communicate between stagent and client on the same host even though LANFREECOMMMETHOD is set to SHAREDMEM. ...It turns out LANFREECOMMMETHOD was set to TCPIP.

commethod sharedmem under solaris
Hallo, Could anyone tell me what client & storageagent version under solaris supports the 'Commmethod SharedMem' option . The 5.3 'Storage Manager for Storage Networks' manual indicates COMMMETHOD SharedMem can be used, but it is not available at level 5.2.2 Stagent/Client I can't find previous versions of the storage agent manuals in the infocenter. Can the client and storage agent on solaris only use sharedmem from 5.3 onwards? Thanks, Matt. ___ Disclaimer Notice __ This message and any attachments are confidential and should only be read by those to whom they are addressed.

Re: Redirecting select statement output from a script
If you write a script to either create the macro and use it every time, or simply have the macro in the directory of dsmadmc then you can get the information you need just as easily. I don't know of a way to script this through TSM but externally you could do it. (I use Perl). It works perfect.

Re: Backup Storage pool question
Joni - Something like that is clearly a software defect. APAR IC43931 dealt with much the same thing, with Migration. You might want to contact Support to be sure they know about this case. It may incidentally be fixed at a server level higher than what you have, whatever that is. Richard Sims On Jun 3, 2005, at 7:41 AM, Joni Moyer wrote: Hello Everyone!

TSM Sysbackup
Hey, i'm concerned about AIX system backups using TSM Sysbackup. Currently we use nfs mounted remote filesystem as a media for system backups of serveral AIX servers. There's a TSM server accessible to all those machines so i've been thinking about setting up TSM Sysbackup to store all the systems data in tape library. Does anybody have some experience with this kind of sollutions? Thank you Miroslav Dvorak AIX administrator Ceska pojistovna a.s. www.cpoj.cz
