Migration to new server and LAN-free backup
Hi all, We currently have TSM 5.2 running on a standalone IBM server (7028-6C4/ OS: AIX 5200-02). We need to migrate to a new LPAR on our P590 that runs on OS: 5300-05-CSP. We plan to install TSM 5.4 and use LAN free backup instead of LAN backup. Has anyone of you done this migration in the past and if so is there procedure available. The problem is that we have only 1 robot (IBM 3584/ 10 LTO 3 drives) that is currently used on the old server, so testing will not be that easy.

Query actlog
Hi, Is there a way to associate multiple criterias on a query actlog search= Pierre
Re: Query actlog
If by multiple criteria you mean specifying, for example, multiple MSGNO parameters, then the answer is no. As an alternative, you can use SELECT with the ACTLOG table to do that type of query.

Pambos - If you mean to somehow look at all the storage pool tapes and rebuild the TSM db contents therefrom, the basic answer is No. In such a situation, there is only arduous, partial salvage, requiring skill and knowledge. Make use of TSM's facilities to assure that you always have backups from which to recover that database, as the only real means of doing so. Richard Sims
Re: Query actlog
Q ACTLOG can be searched using MSGno, Search string, nodename, client or server originated messages, by domain/sched/session... If you wish to search by multiple strings, I think it is better to dump it to a file and play around using your string handling capabilities...

Slow restore of large file to Win2003 client.
Environment: TSM server AIX 5.3 P570 TSM 5.3.3.0 Client Win2003 HP Proliant DL585 64GB TSM client 5.3.2.2 We restored 178 GB in 7.5 hours. The restore consisted of 1 file that is 160 GB and 25 files totaling 18 GB. The 160 GB file was on 1 LTO3 tape in a L700 library with a 2 GB fibre connection. The restore initially started running at over 30 GB per hour and gradually slowed to less than 20 GB per hour by the time it completed for the large file. Then the 25 smaller files (18 GB) restored at the faster speed. The workload was light on the TSM server and the client.

Re: Subfile backup 2GB
Hi Steve, As you surmised, the 2 GB limit is not entirely arbitrary. While I cannot formally announce or commit to anything, upping the limit is currently on the radar screen, but not in the near future. It is still iffy enough that it could also fall off the radar screen, so take with a grain of salt.
