3592J1A tape drive
Hi to all I am using a 3494 Tape Library within two 3590 tape drive and now i am trying to add another 2 3592J1A tape drives. What private and scratch category do i have to specify in my tape library? In addition when i connect the two new 3592 tape drive on the FC Switch and define the tape drives on the TSM, while i am executing the command "Q SAN" i don't receive any answer. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Nicolas Savva
exclude directory structure
Dear All, I am running TSM client 5.3 on windows 2000. When i run scheduled incremental backup or i see the GUI to view my include-exclude, I see that directories are not excluded when i use exclude.backup "*:\...\*" and everything is excluded when i use exclude.dir "*:\...\*". This is understanable as exclude statement is read first and applied too. How can I prevent directory structure to be backed up while at the same time i want to do incremental backup using schedule ! Any help is highly appreciated. Sandra _ Sent via SUPERwebmail - Supernet web-based email service http://www.super.net.pk/mail

Richard - You may be able to avoid this by looking into what was going on at the time within the TSM server, and possibly avoid having too many things going on at once. Check your /etc/security/limits for too-low memory limitations on the username which is running your TSM server. Likewise, check its shell environment for an artificial Unix Resource Limit value. If those look okay: If you are running a 32-bit TSM, and it is possible to go to 64-bit on your RS/6000 system, that would be an avenue to pursue. Beyond that, you would have to call TSM Support.

Here is one (replace NODENAME and STGPOOL as appropriate):
SELECT DISTINCT -
CAST(volumeusage.volume_name AS CHAR(6)) as "Volume", -
CAST(volumes.est_capacity_mb as decimal(6,0)) as "Capacity", -
CAST(volumes.pct_utilized AS DECIMAL(4,1)) AS "% used", -
CAST(volumes.status AS CHAR(7)) as "Status", -
CAST(volumes.access AS CHAR(6)) as "Access", -
DATE(volumes.last_write_date) as "Last write" -
FROM volumeusage,volumes -
WHERE volumeusage.node_name='NODENAME' -
AND volumeusage.stgpool_name='STGPOOL' -
AND volumeusage.volume_name=volumes.volume_name
If you're looking for a particular filespace, add a condition
AND volumeusage.filespace_name='FILESPACE'
or
AND volumeusage.filespace_name like ('%' || 'partial_filespace_name' || '%')
I prefer the latter, as I don't have to write down the exact filespace
name as TSM wants it.

TDP for Oracle 5.2.x
Hello all, I'm about to install TDP for Oracle on three Suse Linux servers. The Oracle version is 10g on a Oracle Real Application Cluster. The TDPO base version (5.2.0) has been downloaded from the passport advantage site. I have visited now the ftp download site to check for patches. I haven't found a maintenance level or patch level there for Linux. For AIX, HPUX and Solaris there are files available. Is there nothing new on 5.2.0 or did I miss something? Thanks, Rainer

Re: snapshotcachezise and client hanging
Well I got something but definitely needs resolution
The cache directory contains a file obd.tsm which goes well upto 5GB and there
is no free space left on the drive.
I can't keep this cache location on SAN or if there is any other way to keep
this on SAN, as I do the following:
INCLUDE.FS "c:" FILELEVELTYPE=SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOTCACHESIZE=100
SNAPSHOTFSIDLERETRIES=4 SNAPSHOTFSIDLEWAIT=5MS SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION="D:\"
INCLUDE.FS "d:" FILELEVELTYPE=SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOTCACHESIZE=100
SNAPSHOTFSIDLERETRIES=4 SNAPSHOTFSIDLEWAIT=5MS SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION="c:\"
INCLUDE.FS "e:" FILELEVELTYPE=SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOTCACHESIZE=100
SNAPSHOTFSIDLERETRIES=4 SNAPSHOTFSIDLEWAIT=5MS SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION="D:\"
INCLUDE.FS "f:" FILELEVELTYPE=SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOTCACHESIZE=100
SNAPSHOTFSIDLERETRIES=4 SNAPSHOTFSIDLEWAIT=5MS SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION="D:\"
E and F above are SAN Drives which i can't use as snapshotcache location.
Please can someone help me out of this.
Kind Regards,
Sandra

Re: VTS or san disk storage

The san disk administration has become a nightmare [...] I am curious what kind of problems you are running into. At the TSM Symposium at Oxford this year, IBM indicated that they were going to further develop the serial access disk support in TSM. And, TSM 5.3 just added the ability for a SAD devclass to span multiple filesystems. After hearing this, we have been leaning towards investing in inexpensive disk managed by TSM rather than buying a VTL appliance. I'm interested in other's comments about where, specifically, they are having problems managing SAD directly by TSM. ..Paul -- Paul ZarnowskiPh: 607-255-4757 Manager, Storage Systems Fx: 607-255-8521 719 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-3801Em: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
