Re: Used 3494 / 3590 equip
What would 3490-C2A worth. Less than nothing? They are probably worth less than the annual maintenance cost. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Allen S.

When we did this exercise some years ago it was concluded that the market value of the 3590 drives was less than half the expense of banding them for maintenance. 3590 equipment is of negative value in the general market, and those folks who are still using it are aware of this, so difficult to trick into paying real money. If you're lucky, you'll find someone who's willing to pay for the shipping, if you give them away. - Allen S. Rout - Still has 10G 3590 tapes in his library, but they belong to someone else.

Re: TSM gui
I agree, the 6.1 Admin Center is genuinely better than previous releases. EXCEPT for the command-line pop-up java window. The problem isn't the queries, it's the java window processing it. I usually keep an AC window open for configuration tasks, and an admin command line open for queries. FWIW, I have seen performance problems with the AC being slow, that were actually due to the specific desktop/browser combination in use to access it. (I can only assume it's the java handling on the particular desktop.) I've got customers getting great performance using the ISC/AC, when the ISC/AC itself is installed on a modest Windows config. Anybody running the 5.5 or 6.1 AC, getting lousy performance, try it again accessing via a different browser/different desktop, see if you get different results.

Re: TDP Exchange Error
Hi, I think the problem was the exchange it self. Every morning, the exchange service take a big resource memory (about 8 GIgs), so we're still waiting for the exchange guy to solve that problem. One more thing, after a full or incremental backup, what's happening to the exchange log? Is it directly deleted, or it will deleted after a cycle log? Does anyone have experinces on this?

Did you get additional information from the logs in the TDPExch directory? "tdpexcc q exchange" showed that circular logging was disabled; so TDP shouldn't be assuming otherwise. You may want to work on this issue with your exchange admin before restarting the exchange server. If non-conclusive, enable tracing, run a manual full then incr or diff backup, provide the trace to IBM for further investigation. Please Yudi, let us know once you find out what caused your issue.

Similarly during the legacy incremental backups, the exchange server deletes the transactional logs after they are being backed up. Using the command line, run "tdpexcc query exchange" to ensure that the circular logging is effectively disabled on the exchange server and check the event viewer.

I got this message when performing an incremental Backup: *ACN5798E MS Exchange API HRESEBACKUPSETUP() failed with HRESULT: 0xc800020e -An incremental backup cannot be performed when circular logging is enabled. *ACN5798E MS Exchange API HRESEBACKUPOPENFILE() failed with HRESULT: 0xc8000232 -Some log or patch files are missing. But The Circular logging for all Storage Groups had already disabled. There's no problem when performing Full Backup, but the logs weren't deleted. Does a full backup straight automatically delete those logs? IMPORTANT: E-mail sent through the Internet is not secure.
