Re: dsmj bug or error in documentation
Andrew, Thank you for your quick reply. I have two comments however. First the documentation should be corrected. README files are great but typically they are only read (if at all) when a system is initially installed or for a major update. For day-to-day usage most of us rely on the documentation. Furthermore, with the new paradigm of having the documentation on line I think it is reasonable to expect that they make up to date changes in the on line documentation. There is no reason for them to state that dsmj does work with virtual nodename and then over ride it in a README file. I would be much more effective to have the on line documentation updated. The second is why don't the fix dsmj so that it operates at least as good as the older dsm version! This seems like we have taken a step backwards in functionality. In addition we lost the estimate feature as well, not that I was a big fan of it but it did come in handy once in a while. Clearly both of these functions could be added into dsmj with just a little bit nippling by some Java Junkie. I sure hope IBM picks up on this! -- Regards, Mark D.

dsmj bug or error in documentation
I have a Linux system running 5.3.0.11 client code. According to the TSM documentation (see excerpt below) the virtualnodename option is supported by dsmj. /To restore or retrieve files to another workstation, use the virtualnodename option to specify the node name of the workstation from which you backed up the files. Virtualnodename cannot be set to the hostname of the machine. You can use the virtualnodename option when you start Tivoli Storage Manager or you can add the virtualnodename option to your client user options file dsm.opt. Use the virtualnodename option on the dsmj command if you are borrowing another user's machine and you do not want to update their client user options file. / However, if I use it on the command line when I invoke dsmj I get the following error which appears to be a syntax error when trying to do a cd command! /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mdrfinancial> dsmj -virtualnode=mail /usr/bin/dsmj: line 125: cd: -v: invalid option cd: usage: cd [-L|-P] [dir] Unable to access jarfile dsm.jar / I have looked at the file dsmj and it appears that if there are one or more parameters passed it tries to cd to the first parameter which in this case causes a problem.

Re: TSM - Tape Library Troubleshooting
Just a quick question. We are running Red Hat EL4. TSM 5.2 Level 6. We have a IBM 3583 Tape Library. We have TSM installed, and running, without our tape library. The library is connected via fiber channel hba. We have installed the engineering release of the driver, because that is the only compatible version with our kernel level (2.6.9-11). I have run the 'IBMtaped' command and says it is running. When we run the hwbrowser there is the three drive under tape drives, and the TL device in the system devices. However, is says for all of them "no driver or built-in". What do I need to do to have TSM communicate with the tape library? Thanks so much! Aaron
HP-UX/VxFS/ACL
Hi! I wonder if anyone has encountered similar problems: During incremental backup on this system, since last Thursday suddenly lots of files got backed up that hadn't neen changed for years. Also, at random points since then, the dsmc-process has aborted with "ANS1028S An internal program error occurred." ACL's are not set/used on any of the affected files. (ACL's are not used at all on this system, as far as I or the SysAdm is aware of) After runnimg several traces, I found that the backups made was because the TSM-client discovered a change in the size, checksum, existance etc of the file's ACL. The ANS1028S are because of an "hpux/pserrno.cpp( 351): TransErrno: Unexpected error from acl(GCL_GET), errno = 22 " OS is HP-UX fhume B.11.23 U 9000/800 1279364181 TSM-client is Client Version 5, Release 3, Level 0.0 TSM-server is Server Version 5, Release 2, Level 2.5 No changes/upgrades have been made to the OS/filesystem for at least 3 months. TSM-client 5.3.0 has been running without problems since January.

I sortof new that - was kinda joking about that - sort of like saying the
ASR backup is "dead meat" !

How to move database and recovery log datasets?
I have to clear 200 mod 3 volumes for TSM on ZOS, looking for a quick way to do so. I have database volumes and recovery log volumes on model 3 dasd volumes, they are being replaced with model 27's and 54's. What is the quickest way to move database and recovery log datasets from a smaller dasd volume to a larger volume? Could I use FDR or DFDSS utilities?

Re: ANS1468E Backing up Automated System Recovery (ASR) files failed.
Hi Zoltan,
You should open a PMR with IBM technical support on this, and provide the
trace. If you *also* want to send it to me in a zipfile, I can take a
brief (note I said "BRIEF") look to see if anything stands out, but I
cannot provide extensive support in this informal forum, so you should
also open the PMR for the formal support.
I don't think the deadbeef trace items are not at issue; that is standard
TSM internal code ("deadbeef", or 0xdeadbeef, is a special hex value that
means something internally to TSM).
Regards,
Andy

TSM recovery after host crashes
We have a 5.2.2.0 server running under mainframe Linux, with Linux running under VM. In the last year we have had two VM crashes and two Linux crashes. In three of the four cases we were unable to start the TSM server after the crash because of errors reading the recovery log. We currently use normal mode logging with no TSM mirroring of either the database or the recovery log. Would TSM mirroring of the recovery log with sequential writes enable us to recover from partial writes to an unmirrored TSM database? If not, would recovery log mirroring and database page shadowing enable us to recover from partial writes to an unmirrored TSM database?

TSM 5.2 and Solaris architecture
Hi All I understand that TSM 5.2 is supported on Solaris 9 but was wondering if this includes the x86 flavour as well? I would rather not go down this road anyway, but my boss is asking me to look at other (cheaper), hardware options so I need to find out. Many thanks in advance Farren Minns John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Otherwise, can you tell us what problems are you encountering with journaling? CDP sits on top of the same Win32 API that the TSM Journal engine does - I personally haven't tried it on large file servers, only on local workstations. I guess you'd need to make sure you tune/allocate enough disk space for the \RealTimeBackup local backup area for a start (from the CDP 'gui' in the Configure tree). As a matter of interest, is anyone else using CDP in this way yet (I know it's only been out and about externally for a few weeks).

Minimum EDT level for TSM 5.3?
Does anyone know the minimum Gresham EDT version supported by "TSM Server for AIX" and "TSM for SAN" level 5.3.1.x? The TSM for SAN docs indicate 6.4.4 or newer, but that doesn't necessarily jive with Gresham's website. ACLS 7.0 should be good with TSM 5.3? Thanks.
