Re: Define vol on Network share problems.
The share needs to be accessible by the user that is running the TSM service. If it is running under the system account, you have to do some fancy windows administrator stuff to get it to work. Also, if the file volume doesn't exist already, you have to use the "f=" option in the command (Which you used in #3) By the way, I can't imagine using a random access volume like this on a network share could have great performance. Hopefully this is just a lab/test TSM implementation?

Fw: Define vol on Network share problems.
Looks like the account running the TSM Server service can't see the network share.You either need to run the TSM Server under a different user (it's probably SYSTEM), or change the security settings for SYSTEM to see the network shares.

But a couple hours later, while migration was still running, we had a few backup clients fail because of this error: 07/16/08 03:18:16 ANR0534W Transaction failed for session 10529 for node PMMREPORTING (SQLsafe) - size estimate exceeded and server is unable to obtain additional space in storage pool T1DISK00. (SESSION: 10529) This is a classic case. SQL backups do an estimate of the size of the backups, (ref diffestimate) If that size is exceeded, the trnsaction fails, maybe unless nothing happened in your diskpool since the start of that transaction (unlikely). The decision to go to the next stgpool is made before the transaction starts, once it's underway, there is no way back. So the transaction fails. Unfortunately, most TDPs don't retry with a bigger size estimate, so that night's backup just failed. (same can happen when you have compression on and commpressalways on as well for normal client backups) Apparently there was not enough contiguous storage in the storage pool to fit the large file in this transaction. Fair enough. But this storage pool is configured to migrate into a tape storage pool, and indeed migration was running.

Erroneous files in client log directory
Hello Storage Folk, I can't seem to find any documentation or anyone else reporting this files being created in the log directories. 16/07/2008 14:09 3,303 dsmerror.log 16/07/2008 14:1031,912 dsmsched.log 16/07/2008 14:1016,350 dsmwebcl.log 16/06/2008 21:5622 s2i4 30/06/2008 21:4122 s2ig 20/06/2008 21:5822 s2io 10/07/2008 01:2122 s2j4 14/07/2008 01:1922 s2j8 22/06/2008 21:1822 s2jc 18/06/2008 21:5022 s2k0 16/07/2008 01:3122 s2kk 15/07/2008 01:4222 s2l0 We've all seen the change in the way the scheduler updates the log files (seems to write to temp file before appending to the actual dsmsched.log file itself) but my customer is complaining that this machine is falling over in the middle of the night, and I need to disprove TSM as being a cause. I can't figure out why these files are lying around here - having checked their contents they contain messages like: EXECUTE PROMPTED 1116 And EXECUTE PROMPTED 1179 What are they? MS return codes? Anyone seen this kind of behaviour in the past?

Re: SV: Help on exclude files ...Please
Hi to all Eureka I just needed to kill the dsmcad , to load it back and I got what I need. ( I was loading the backup/restore from a browser) I exclude those directories with exclude.dir /var/tmp and it worked fine.

list broken
Hi all, I've been chasing this for a while, and it seems to be very hard to resolve. I even got surfnet involved, who relay the adsm-l in the Netherlands and they have not been able to help (though very willing to do so). The adsm-l seems to be broken. Mail gets delevered to US mail accounts just fine (I currently have gmail forward the list to my PLCS account), but I only get about one post per week in my plcs.nl mailbox directly from the list. I've been trying to reach the list-owner via the e-mail address that Richard so kindly pointed out and so has Surfnet (they even know the list owner by name), but alas, no response. This is really annoying. I sometimes enjoy reading the list and do get some useful tips of here, but this is not good. I'd think that the list should function properly. Is there anyone that can contribute in some way in resolving this issue? Contacts at marist? Both surfnet and I are very willing to help resolve this issue, but are getting nowhere soon without cooperation from marist. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post, PLCS
Re: Lost LIBVOLUME tapes
Mark Wheeler wrote: I have an ACSLS library "B243" with volrange VA5000-VA5149. I checked in new volumes VA5150-VA5159, and 90 of the 150 tapes in the VA5000-VA5149 range disappeared!!! One that disappeared was VA5000, which is one of my storage volumes. I checked it in (status=private) and it now shows: Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use --- -- -- - B243 VA5000 Private GENTOO51 Note "Last Use" is blank (should be Data). I tried to run "AUDIT V VA5000" but it returned: ANR2017I Administrator issued command: AUDIT VOLUME va5000 ANR2410E AUDIT VOLUME: Unable to access volume VA5000 - access mode is set to "unavailable". Not good! How do I reconstruct my library volume table? 1- checkin all your lost volumes as data, the last use field will get updated once they are used. 2- update you volumes to become on-line again (upd vol va5* acc=readw whereacc=unav) now, you probably lost some volumes that are scratch as well, so you'll need some sql select to find those: select VOLUME_NAME from LIBVOLUMES where VOLUME_NAME not in (select VOLUME_NAME from VOLUMES) and volume_name not in (select volume_name from volhistory where not type like 'STG%') (now, this is untested, so be sure to verify, I'm sure that if you have export tapes in there or backup sets, you must exclude those as well!) if you are sure that a tape really is scratch, update that libvol. You may want to do an audit library after all of this. Best regards, Mark Wheeler, 3M Company -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post, PLCS
