Re: Can't backup 6.2 server after library switch
The audit on the LM will wait until there is no library activity and there are no pending tape mount requests and maybe even wait until all drives are dismounted. I found I need to have everything quiet in order for it to run. The alternative is to checkout everything with remove=no and check everything back in. and yes, only the LM should have "remote" volhist entries.The "remote" entries on the new LM will be created when the library clients run their individual audits. I like to query everyone's volhist and q.vol output to make absolutely sure there is no overlap. That could get ugly if there is.

Re: TSM multi libraries in a single stgpool
There is no reason a single library can't have multiple device classes. If I thought I would ever need to run multiple libraries, I'd be tempted to create multiple device classes, one per tape storage pool. Then if it ever became necessary to move a pool to another library, it would be a simple matter to update the device class to point to the new library and move the corresponding tapes.

Or, if you want to go all-out, use eRMM - see http://www-935.ibm.com/services/de/igs/pdf/br-stor-enterprise-remove-mm-en.p df that way, you can have many libraries managed by eRMM.

Re: TSM 6.2.2 client install disables 5.5 server
Wanda, what happens if you perform a "Repair" install of the server software after the client upgrade? Is that even an option?

Re: TSM 6.2.2 client install disables 5.5 server
HI Wanda, apparently the gskit version that comes with the 6.2 client is to new for the 5.5 server. I guess you have two options: run the snapdiff on a different host, or upgrade the TSM server to 6.2 Be aware that the 6.2 server comes with a 6.1 API, and you must not upgrade that API On 6 jul 2011, at 19:07, Prather, Wanda wrote: > Oh, this is too weird. > TSM 5.5.4.2 server on Win2k3. > Just upgraded the client on the same box from 5.5 to 6.2.2 so we can use > SNAPDIFF to back up a Netapp. > > Installing the 6.2.2 CLIENT disables the SERVER. > Yep.

Can't backup 6.2 server after library switch
Servers are RH Linux 6.2.2.2 and 6.1.4.3 Last week, we had some strange issues (don't ask - this one is for Shark Tank) with one of our 6.2.2.2 TSM servers, which is one of 2-Library Managers for our 3494ATL. So, in the interim we quickly moved the LM function to my 6.1.4.3 server, shuffled all tape drives, paths and tapes, updated all server devclasses, etc. Now, the 6.2 server that was the LM refuses to perform a DB backup to the 6.1 LM server. Other tape processing (migrate, backup stgpool) seems to work just fine. The error I get is: 7/6/2011 11:09:15 AM ANR8448E Scratch volume insert-volume-name-here from library IBM-TS1130 rejected - volume name is already in use. which it repeats for 19-iterations and then fails with: 7/6/2011 11:24:00 AM ANR2971E Database backup/restore/rollforward terminated - DB2 sqlcode -2025 error. All the tapes it is given are scratch. It proceeds to lock down all the tapes as if they were in use/private and I have to manually perform "delete volhist .. force=yes" on the 6.1 LM server. I have done a few Google searches and all I find are references to the book on the ANR2971E error messages telling me to give it a scratch tape. Any thoughts?

SV: How to remove scratch tapes from stgpool
If the tapes are listed as scratch they are not dedicated to a storage pool anymore. But if you want to delete a tape or volume from a storage pool you just tape "del vol VOLUMENAME" If you mean it still in Volhistory you can type del volhist type= volume=x tod=+0 force=yes Best Regards Christian Svensson Cell: +46-70-325 1577 E-mail: christian.svens...@cristie.se Supported Platform for CPU2TSM:: http://www.cristie.se/cpu2tsm-supported-platforms Från: D'Antonio III, Vincent E (N-Aerotek) [vincent.e.d'antonio@lmco.com] Skickat: den 6 juli 2011 15:51 Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Ämne: How to remove scratch tapes from stgpool Good morning, Is there a way to remove tapes from an stgpool after you have deleted the stgpool?

TSM multi libraries in a single stgpool
Good morning, Can TSM support having two libraries in a single stgpool? Looking to add another library but would to make sure it is used in tandem with our current library and not just sit there. Thank you, Vince
FCM (Flashcopy Manger) - Snapshot name + Policy ?
hello, i use TSM Flashcopy manager 6.2 for backuping (create snapshot on a storage XIV) ms exchange 2010. basically it works fine, but i have two questions: 1) the name of the FCM created snapshot on the xiv is a random "name" is it possible to "create/define" a "fix" name (eg: SNAPShot_Month_Year) for the snapshot? instead of VSS-12345678----123456789012 2) in the FCM exchange GUI there can be defined a POLICAY a) how many number of snapshots to keep - default 2 versions b) days to keep a snapshot - default 30 days i have changed a) to 6 versions but now i had the problem that last week before the 3rd snapshot was created the first was DELETED!!! ??? why? an error, anyhting else i must configure? or is the problem that b) is 30 days and the first snapshot is older than 30 days?? thanks! +-- |This was sent by martin.p...@kt-net.at via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +--
