Re: when will 5.5.1 client be released? [mid July?]
We are currently running an efix dsmserv v5.5.0.3 + testfix for IC56999. IBM level 2 support told us that v5.5.1 will be delayed about 2 weeks in order to include the fix for IC56999. That's very good decision: IC56999 was a severe performance problem for a busy UNIX TSM service! Backup performance is back to our normal expectations with the efix. The v5.5.1 client README files posted near the end of June also talk about a delay of 2 weeks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (203.432.6693) Schaub, Steve wrote: I had expected to see it by now, is there an ETA?

The 5.5.1 Windows clients will be available in mid-July 2008. I hope there are some VSS fixes for those clients. Tim Laughlin, Lisa wrote: Later on this month.

Except for Windows, the 5.5.1 clients are available. Which ones are you unable to find? Windows client is currently wrapping up in test, unofficial ETA (subject to change, not an official announcement, and other caveats apply) is some time by the end of next week.

Tricky conversion problem
We are moving to a new TSM server on a Pseries box with an IBM 3592 tape system from a very old mainframe based TSM server. We had not planned on moving any of the old data over to the new server as there was no requirement for it. However, we run into a single user who wants to have all of his previous backups moved to the new server, even though most are no longer usable (we are talking about old OS2 systems, etcevery PC he has ever used in the last 20 years). Since this user is our 2nd line manager, we have no choice to try and figure something out. The main problem is that the two servers are not compatible. The old server can only talk to 3590 tape drives, whose tapes are not usable in the new 3592s. So, I can't just export the data to tape and then import into the new server. (Ah if only life were that easy!). On a hunch, I've tried creating a server connection between old and new TSM server. Then, I exported a filespace to a virtual volume (devclass=server) on the new server. It sits on a 3592 tape right now. However, the new server will not allow me to import this tape, as it belongs to a pool and it thinks it is in use. Is there any way to make this work? I'm at a loss for ideas at this point. I could create a virtual volume on disk and move the old filespaces to it, but then I'll have to keep the old server running forever or at least until it will run no longer. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Tricky conversion problem
One idea that you can try is to use the GENERATE BACKUPSET command and store this media for as long as you want. That way you can tell him that you have a saved copy of his data then move him to the new server and it should run a full backup of all his data anyway onto the new media. My two cents! :) -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martha McConaghy Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 11:09 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Tricky conversion problem We are moving to a new TSM server on a Pseries box with an IBM 3592 tape system from a very old mainframe based TSM server.

Re: Tricky conversion problem
Martha, If the tape is in a stgpool on the target server, that's a GOOD thing. With the later versio TSM servers, a server-to server export can be done directly in 1 step. The exported data lands in whatever pool is specified by the appropriate mgmt class/copy group on the target server, and you're done, you don't have to do the import step. On the target server, do a q filespace - the data for your exported client should be where it belongs. Test a restore to be sure (if you have a client it can be restored to!) Wanda er export, the data lands in the pool according On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 2:09 PM, Martha McConaghy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are moving to a new TSM server on a Pseries box with an IBM 3592 tape system from a very old mainframe based TSM server.

You can export from server directly to an other server with export node command. You have to define a server-to-server connection. Give the target server a paswoord (help upd server) and define the server on the source server (help def server). And then you can say: To export client node information and all client files for NODE1 directly to SERVERB, issue the following command. Command export node node1 filedata=all toserver=serverb (From help export node) Stef
Re: Tricky conversion problem
Our mvs said that you can buy a used standalone 3590H drive for about $4k. That might be the simplest way to move the data. After you finish you can sell it to someone else. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martha McConaghy Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 2:09 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Tricky conversion problem We are moving to a new TSM server on a Pseries box with an IBM 3592 tape system from a very old mainframe based TSM server.
