What kind of tapes do you use? You should probably stick with hardware
compression if you can. Remember to not only think of the amount of time
the backup takes, but the amount of time the restore is going to take.
Hardware compression is going to take buy you performance, but software
compression is going to lose you performance.

Some advice about compression=yes to perform IMAGE backup

[admbackup]

Hi.

I am need some advice about using compression=yes for image backups


I need to perform image backups of mulitple disks on a windows 2008 server.  
Most of them have like 1.45T of size.

We are running out of tapes and I was thinking in using compression.  I know 
that it is recommended to set compressalways=yes on the TSM server when using 
compression, but I am not using compression for all the backups.  Is this 
parameter transparent for the client servers that dont use compression=yes?

Also, how recommended is using compression for image backups??  I know that it 
is going to increasse the time that the backup takes but I have a lot of time 
windows to perform those image backups (All the weekend)

Re: Calculate total data backed up on tape

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

Maybe I am missing something, but q vol f=d will show the estimated capacity 
and if the tape is full that number is how much was written to the tape.

Dsmadmc -id=ADMIN -PA=PASSWORD -comma -dataonly=yes q vol t* status=full > 
TAPEFILE

Subject: [ADSM-L] Calculate total data backed up on tape

Hi Everyone,

Would anyone know how to calculate the total amount of data that is stored on 
physical tape?  All of my physical tapes begin with a T* so I'm thinking this 
would be easy, but I have not found the correct syntax that works yet.  Any 
ideas?  Thanks in advance!

Re: grant access to another node

what I was looking for is "set access" command
Thanks all

Re: grant access to another node

[Richard Sims]

IBM provides information on doing that, in the client manual:
see topic "Restoring or retrieving your files to another workstation".
Do not use the -nodename option, which is not intended for that
purpose, and can have unintended consequences for your client password.

Re: grant access to another node

[Mehdi Salehi]

I like -virtualnodename option for similar circumstances, but there are
cases that a user wants to grant the access of a filespace to another user
without giving them the node password.

Re: grant access to another node

[ADSM-L]

Rather than granting access, can you not simply log in from 'node b'
as if you were 'node a' using a -nodename option or similar?

SV: Restore error - invalid "version id's list" field found in "ObjRtrv" verb

[Christian Svensson]

Hi Jacques,
This is  what TSM help command explain your problem.

ANR0443W  Protocol error on session session number for node client node
  name (client platform) - invalid "field name" field found in "verb
  name" verb (offset offset position).

Explanation: The server detects a protocol error on the specified
session because an invalid field has been found in a verb sent from the
client node.

System action: The server ends the client session.

User response: Correct the programming error in the client program if it
has been written by your installation using WDSF verbs. Otherwise,
contact your service representative.
