Re: Backup issue...
You can try to add in dsm.opt at the beginning (important!) of include/exclude list: INCLUDE "*:\...\*" NOT_DEFAULT_CLASS INCLUDE.SYSTEMSTATE ALL NOT_DEFAULT_CLASS This will fix your problem for sure.

I think you have run selective backup for specified list of directories (maybe with subdir=yes). If you are running incremental backup without parameters, you need: 1) check dsm.opt file for included domains like C:, D:, SYSTEMSTATE, etc; 2) check include/exclude list for specified domains. It should be include.backup for all domains. In other case, come files will come to default management class. Regards, Grigori G.

Re:
Rick: I believe the intermin storage mentioned the proxy needs is for the snapshot repository. The data is stored or served up here before the TSM client can send it to the TSM server. This data residing at this repository is temporary and dissolved after being sent to the TSM server, so it's size can be created based on how many and how large of a full VM backup you will want to run. I do not believe vmware offers any streaming directly to a tsm server without the use of this repository.

Re: Using tapeutil to examine cleaning tapes
In an internal build that we are working on, we have proven that we can get the CLI to work with SSL. But this internal build has not been released yet (and there is not target at this time). We are taking requests for this feature because as you might have noticed, when SSL is enabled, the web is "slower" then when SSL is disabled. If we continue to take on requests, we can definitely add this functionality. Yes, I agree with the documentation. We will update appropriately.

Khanh, We have discovered that if you have SSL enabled for your ALMS sessions, the CLI does not work, but rather results in a certificate error. When we called this into support, they indicated that it was working as designed (even though there was no documentation to this effect).

TSM 6.2 OS and Hardware Requirements
We are preparing to upgrade from TSM 6.1 to version 6.2. I am a little confused about the requirements. We are running 2003 standard SP2 as the OS. The documentation says you need 8G of memory. and that this OS is supported. However, the OS will not recognize 8G of memory unless it is 2003 Enterprise. Do I need to upgrade to Enterprise before I can upgrade TSM? Thank you! Lesli

Re: V5.5.4.1 recovery log issues
Considering the official page for what 5.5.4.1 fixes is a single apar "encryption issue", I saw the need for that since we are going to implement encryption as soon as our TS1130 arrives to "upgrade" the last non-encrypt capable 3592. As for 5.5.4.2 (which I plan to implement), I have had numerous problems with server-to-server exports either hanging or crashing and leaving an export session hung/non-cancelable. Also includes other fixes to address encryption. Another apar in 5.5.4.2 talks about mount requests failing due to a timing issue, which I have also experienced! If you have had any long time experience with IBM patches/maintenance/apars/ptf (for MF folks), which I am sure you have, you know as well as I do that often the apar description is not 100% your symptom but close enough and often fixes your problems.

Zoltan - Your postings on your upgrade have not said why you went beyond the standard, fully tested maintenance level (5.5.4.0) to take your chances with a patch level (5.5.4.1). A patch level is intended to address a specific set of circumstances, as experienced by one or a few customers. One should not go there without specific need for the patch, and being accepting of possible side effects in order to restore functionality as addressed by the patch. This is not to say that this patch level itself is known to be responsible for the log pinning issue, but you are taking a chance with a patch. Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs/

V5.5.4.1 recovery log issues
Well, this is becoming a very annoying and crazy problem. Since upgrading my Linux TSM server from 5.5.3.0 to 5.5.4.1, I am having constant problems with the log filling and pinning. The latest set of tools and diagnostics being used to monitor the log say little to nothing. I implemented the suggested cron job to monitor the log%used. For the past few nights, it has been hitting 95%+. It usually seems to back down on its own and then spike again. However, the "show logpinned" doesn't show any session/process that is pinning the log. The most common message from "show logpinned" at 5-minute intervals is: The recovery log is pinned by a dirty page in the data base buffer pool. Check the buffer pool statistics. If the associated transaction is still active then more information will be displayed about that transaction. I am going to alter the script to include the other 10-commands suggested in the PERL script from IBM. Any thoughts on what is going on? As I said, I never had these problems before 5.5.4.1. I have held off upgrading my other 5.5 servers until I get a handle on what is going on. Looks/smells like a defect to me. Nothing in my workload has changed within the past 2-months.
