Now that I have a TS3500 - I have questions
Our new TS3500 was installed this weekend (replacing our 17-year old 3494) and I have lots of questions about how things should be done/configured and why it is doing what it is doing. First off, the library is configured as 2-virtual librarys, each side with fixed drive assignments and each side managed by a separate TSM server. 1. Per other discussions, I configured 255 Virtual IO. We also configured/enabled Insert Notification. However, some tapes keep being inserted unassigned while most are properly assigned to the right library?. Why? 2.

Re: Antwort: [ADSM-L] Now that I have a TS3500 - I have questions
Hello Zoltan, Congrats! For checkin I use the following checkin libv 3584lib search=bulk checkl=barcode status=Scratch waitt=0 bulk means to check the Virtual I/O slots or entry doors. The YES option is only needed if you want to scan the entire library. With ALMS option that your library has the physical library is also keeping track of the tape locations, and sending this to the tsm server when you checkin. I would also add the waitt=0 option, so you don't have to wait the default 60 minutes, you can then check the logs for any details related to the checkin. For the split libraries that you have setup, you can assign and probably should assign a tape range associated with each virtual library. That should take care of the unassigned tapes that you are seeing. Ultimately, you should be able to insert a mix and match of volumes, and the library will assign each of those tapes to its respective virtual library. Then you run the tape checkin that assign a status of scratches to them.

Re: Now that I have a TS3500 - I have questions
I forgot to mention we aren't using CAP. The tape numbers/range are scatter between systems and we often shuffle tapes between TSM servers as the need arises if we run low/out of scratch tapes. We have a tight budget and can't just go out and buy a 1000 tapes at a time. We usually have between 25-75 scratch tapes per TSM LM server and sometimes have sudden increases of multiple terabytes of new backups. Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: Now that I have a TS3500 - I have questions
Thanks for asking. Lots of drama but it didn't take anywhere as long as they guessed. In fact it took me longer to reconfigure 7-TSM servers and then figure out various nuances then the physical deinstall/install. The library was completely emptied and ready for them to shutdown by 10am Friday. They showed up around 1pm and had the 3494 dismantled by 4pm, eventhough they did a proper disasembly (took it apart carefully vs using hacksaws and chainsaws. Originally IBM was going to 'deinstall for purposes of disposal' but then they came up with a recycle program and didn't charge us. They originally said they were going to quit by 6:30pm and come back Saturday. I get a phone call at 8:30pm saying the TS3500 was installed and ready to have our tapes manually loaded but it wasn't powered-up or tested, yes. We agreed to start at 8am Saturday. They arrived and powered things up and tested, oiled (it was squeaking) and upgraded the library firmware. Turned it over to us by 1pm. Had to restart most of my TSM servers but they still couldn't see the tape drives. Nobody told us the WWN of the drives would be changed/managed by the library so my SAN guy had to reconfigure the switch/ports/fabric. After that it was TSM reconfiguration and wrestling with the assignment/checkin process (what fun manually reassigning 1400 cartridges). IMHO, the 3494 was sooo much easier to manage. We went home around 6pm Saturday. Still had some TSM issues to deal with Sunday morning, mostly things like vaulting, training operators how to checkin/checkout tapes, etc. On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 9:33 AM, Richard Rhodes rrho...@firstenergycorp.com wrote: I can't help with your question, but I'm really curious how the swap out went.

Sent by: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu We're running the 6.4 Exchange TDP on an Exchange DAG cluster (Windows 2008). These are VSS backups, and since we're running on Netapps, the Data Ontap VSS provider is installed. Is there a way to tell the TDP to use the Windows VSS software provider instead? I swear I've seen it someplace, but can't track it down. Steve
Re: Increase in unique data
There are a few details missing. Are you writing to the same VTL system? If so you may be seeing TSM rebuild the aggregates which effectively changes the data the VTL sees. If it is a new VTL then the first data is always new and has nothing to de-duplicate against.

move a node to a new domain
Hello. I wanted to move one of our nodes to a new domain we recently created. After I deleted the scheduled associations and nodegroup member, I updated the node with the new domain. And then I did a 'move nodedata xyz fromstgpool=abc tostgpool=def (both are primary storage pools types). The move nodedata was successful, however when I do a 'q nodedata xyz', I'm seeing some .bfs volumes that still reference the old storage pool name. But when I pipe the contents of the .bfs file and do a search on my xyz node.nothing. So then I did a 'move data D:\win2k_prim2\00015A07.bfs' to see if that would move any data from that volume to a new volume and delete any pointers from my node in question. It did move the data to a new volume, but I'm still seeing my xyz node with the reference to the old storage pool to a new .bfs file. Q nodedata xyz: NODE: VOL NAME: STGPOOL PHY SP OCC XYZ D:\abc_prim1\000139DF.BFS abc_PRIM132.62 **fi still on old stgpool??

Re: TSM VE 6.4: How to kill a running backup
I've been looking for someway of cancelling the backup too, but no luck. The snapshot been removed takes more time than the backup.

Re: TSM VE 6.4: How to kill a running backup
I don't know a way to cancel a TSMVE backup from the plug-in. We cancel a running backup by disabling client sessions on the TSM server. This stops new guest backups from starting, and limits the cleanup afterward. Then,we stop the Client Scheduler service on the data mover. Keith
