TSM Journal Based Backup for AIX
Hi All Im trying to config Journal Based backup for AIX in version 5.3.3 And there is no notification or option in the tsmjbbd.ini file for the NotifyFilter Does anyone manage to config it or to make it work? Best Regards Amos Hagay
Re: TSM Journal Based Backup for AIX
Hi Amos Journal backup only works on windows. There is generally no need on unix systems as they are fairly efficient. What is the problem you are trying to solve? There may be some tuning you can do.

Re: Update - Tape problem after moving TSM to new server
This happened to me too, when doing a similar migration. I looked up my notes from the time. The problem is that your Filling tapes were started on a different drive type than you have now, and so it won't append any more data onto them. (Even if they are the very same drives, this can still happen.) How to deal with it: 1. Get some extra tapes, to use while you do the following steps. Before you do anything else after the big change, LABEL LIBVOL these new tapes so there will be something for migration and DB backup to use. 2. Mark all your Filling and Full tapes Readonly. You will still be able to restore from them OK. If you don't already have it, set a REUSEDELAY of a day or two. 3. The Full tapes should reclaim themselves normally. However, reclamation will not select any tape that is still marked as Filling, so you've got to reclaim them manually yourself with MOVE DATA. Might take a while, which is OK as long as you don't run out of tapes. 4. As tapes are cleared, whether they had been Filling (via MOVE DATA) or Full (via reclamation), you may need to do CHECKOUT LIBVOL on them followed by a LABEL LIBVOL OVERWRITE=YES before it will reuse them as scratch tapes. When you get a mixture of Pending tapes from before and after the big change, then you can easily tell which ones you need to relabel - they will be the ones that are both Pending and Readonly. When this happened to me, it was a hassle, but I found that it was a manageable hassle. I did not have to do anything as drastic as the backout you did. Sorry to hear about that - because you are having to do 3 times the work with a migrate-backout-migrate cycle.

After completely removing and redefining the lib,drives and paths I still get the same errors as below. So, for example I can't audit volume 000700 without the error below. BUT..., if I change the state of the volume from read/write to readonly, I can. What's that all about? I can also audit volumes that have an access of read/write but that are 'full' and not 'filling'. This is very strange. Has anyone else ever seen this behaviour before ? Many thanks again Farren Minns Hi All I have just moved my TSM Server 5.1.6.2 from a Solaris 7 server to a new Solaris 9 box. Now, everything so far has gone fine and I have tested a couple of backups and also a backup of the database. When I look at the contents of the tapepool, copypool, q libv etc I see what I would expect. BUT, when I try to run migration from disk to tape there is a problem. In this example tape 000700 which is in a filling state is required but I see the following error :- ANR1000I Migration process 4 started for storage pool BACKUPPOOL. ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library 3494A. ANR1401W Mount request denied for volume 000700 - mount failed. Instead, TSM loads a new scratch tape and then continues fine. What is going on here? Has any body seen this before?

Re: TSM Journal Based Backup for Netware
I know journalling is now available on AIX, and has been on Windows for a long time, but has anyone had any experience or knowledge of, or if, TSM can somehow take advantage of the NSS filesystem journalling feature in Netware? Thank you very much regards, Mark
TSM on MySQL
Hi; One of my clients needs to perform TSM backup on MySQL. From IBM site found that it should use adsmpipe to run it. I am unable to find the related example and scripts for it. Any body there can help Thanks in advance Abu Bakar Bin Rofie TSM System Administrator 602, Level 6, Uptown 2 2 Jalan SS21/37 Damansara Uptown 47400 Petaling Jaya Selangor Darul Ehsan Tel : 603-7718 6684 Fax : 603-7728 5895

Michiel Michiel - You omit the most important information: how your dsmcad is currently being started. Problems like these are typically due to not having established the proper environment settings prior to launching the application, such that it runs under such conditions. That is achieved via a comprehensive start-up script, rather than a terse inittab entry. See IBM site Technote 1159406 for guidance. If you *are* using a start-up script of some kind, it isn't establishing environment settings as your personal login session is, and needs to do the right things, such as proper TZ environment variable setting.

Reclaimation process keeps starting
We use TSM 5.2. I have a reclaimation process which is an automated scheduled job. It started today and I needed to cancel it, so I did using the can process command. I have also changed the status of this process from Active=Yes to Active=No. However this process keeps starting again after an hour or so, despite me having cancelled it and the schedule being updated to Active=No. WHY Regards Paul Paul Dudley ANL IT Operations Dept.
