tapes status readonly
Hi, Last week some tapes become READONLY. I tried to move the data to other tape(s) in the same pool and also audit the volume(s). Both processes takes such a long time (several hours and the tapes contains less than 10 GB) that I must cancel the processes. Must I wait longer or are their other possibilities? Thanks in advance.

That's usually labored retries in the presence of read errors. Query PRocess will show if unreadable files were encountered, and your OS error log will show device/media problems. If you encounter the same struggle on multiple drives, then it suggests the media or whatever happened when that media was being written. Based upon the Last Write Date, see if your Activity Log reflects any issues going on at the time. Depending upon your drive technology, you may have dust or dirt problems on the drive heads: make sure your library has a cleaning tape available. (An AIX Error Log will record cleanings.) Also assure that your drives have recent microcode, as faulty microcode can make for later problems reading tapes. If you can't endure the read struggle, go for a RESTORE Volume, beginning with a Preview=Yes type of invocation to first check for any problems going into that operation. A Move Data is usually preferable, first, to avoid all the mounts usually needed from the copy storage pool. Richard Sims
tdpsqlc restore failing
Hi I try to restore an mssql database backed up at one server, to another. But it fails, see output below. Ony difference is that the server where database was backed up from, runs windows 2003 std x64, with tdpsql klient version 5.3.3.0. Server where I try to restore to, runs windows 2003 std and tdpsql client version 5.2.1.0. Could those differences be an issue? I've done similar earlier without problems. I cannot understand why it will try and replace G:\SQL Server\q500_log.ldf ??

Kjell, The machine that restores MUST be at the same level or newer.

Re: TSM backup speed on a Windows server
In our case, we set the speed to the highest speed supported by the port on the switch and the server. If either side is set to auto then we end up with really poor performance. But not in every case, we have a couple of boxes that are set to auto and they are running just fine. Try different settings until you find the right one. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Sims Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 10:40 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM backup speed on a Windows server On Apr 5, 2007, at 10:27 AM, Luc Beaudoin wrote: Is it recommend to set the speed to AUTO-NEGOCIATE on my Windows 2K and 2K3 servers ?? The only recommendation is to use whatever works best. Unfortunately, networking equipment is all over the place as to what combination of brands, models, and settings will actually do what you want it to. I've had to make counter-intuitive configuration settings in some cases to get proper operation. Confer with the networking people at your site for best advice for what you have there, then do testing. Richard Sims

You don't, per the syntax of the documented command.
But, then, IBM provides Select so we can form our own commands, like:
select * from occupancy where node_name in ('23GPD40','4H63D31')

First, see if that executable exists. (That spelling is odd: maybe dsmcsched?) And, of course, the file needs r-x permissions on it. Then you want it defined in your sudo control file. Further, the #!... at the top of the file needs to name an existing interpreter. Check out: http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/hfs/schedbkup/unix/421/ for something comparable to what you're doing.
