Re: volume missed in library
Hello William, With this checkin command, the label was checked by reading it on the tape (not with the barcode). There is no reason to lose data if the tape is ok. You can check with the admin interface of the library if the barcode is correctly seen by the interface. If not, it's probably a problem with the barcode itself. So, you can change the label or move data to another tape if you wants to be sure the tape is readable.

They suggested building a server with a bunch of shares, one share for each of our SQL servers. Then go into each of the SQL servers and set up a script that dumps the database to share that was created for it. The dump location would have the regular TSM client running to catch all the incoming SQL files. The DBAs did some db dumps and also some log dumps as well and were able to restore them back into the server and they seemed happy with the process. Is there anything I'm missing here?

Re: Celerra NDMP
Hi Allen, there are about 3 pages on NDMP in the TSM admin guide, and that's all there is to it. I learned today that if you want TOCs, that you must have the same language setting on the TSM server as on the filer. When you map tape drives to your filer, and the EMC boys do their thing to detect them, they become known as mt devices on those boxes. If you're lucky, or they're good, they make sure that each tape drive has the same name on each filer. Ow, btw, and a filer = a datamover. On 10 jun 2010, at 23:05, Allen S. Rout wrote: Hi, folks.

Re: Celerra NDMP
Hi Alan. Chap 7 of the Admin Guide is the best doc I've found. First off, are you going to send the data via TCP/IP and have it land in a regular storage pool, or attach a tape drive directly to your Celerra via your SAN? You will find in Chap 7 that those are two very different scenarios. If the latter, then yes, you have to log into the Celerra and find out what IT thinks its device name is, after you get the tape drive attached. If you are doing NDMP dumps across the SAN, all the TSM server is doing is sending a Go forth and run NDMP command to the Celerra. The Celerra is doing everything else, so it has to know how to find the drive. If the doc doesn't help you, feel free to contact me directly, I'll try to dredge up my notes.

He says it can't be removed. If he's worried, I'm worried about how much extra storage I'm putting on TSM. Any one know anything about this and how to avoid its effects?

Rout Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 4:05 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Celerra NDMP Hi, folks. I'm in the happy state of needing to attempt some NDMP backups. Remember that 12TB FS conversation we had a while back? Well boy howdy, someone has just presented me with one. We're failing to complete backups in any reasonable timeframe. I intend to continue experimenting with The Right Way, but I need a stopgap, and it looks like NDMP is it. But I'm having difficulty deciphering some of the instructions: they talk about telling the DataMover the controller, ID, and lun. I may be dense, but I'm accustomed to using rmt devices or WWNs. Anybody got a pointer to the Fine Manual ? The logs of this list include a tantalizing reference to success after reading between the lines a little bit; but I was unable to find anything concrete. I'm on Version 5, Release 5, Level 3.0 of TSM, in case it matters. - Allen S. Rout This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Re: Win Server 2008 question

(c) also helps reduce impact to the TSM server database. Best regards, Andy Just a side note to Andy's comment - if I understand it correctly, the dedup in TSM works with file pools only. Regrettably that means there's no saving in tape slots, TSM database size, copy pool tapes, etc., but it does allow a heap more data to be stored within a file pool, and with the features in 6.2 this can be realized immediately rather than only after processing. Hardware dedup - e.g. ProtecTIER - is a more complete way to save on TSM storage, but comes at a cost which may or may not be justified by the savings in space alone. What's the impact on restoring the system state when using (c) above? I'm guessing eventually it means more tape mounts unless there's some pretty aggressive collocation going on.
