Re: VSS backup crashes TSM Schedule Service
Hi Harold, Do you have an especially long TSM client node name and/or TSM server name? IC79621 is one possibility. I would suggest upgrading to the latest client. For Windows 2003, you can go to 6.3.1.2 even (but not 6.4, as Windows 2003 is no longer supported as a client starting with TSM 6.4), then see if the problem persists. If it does, you should contact IBM support for further assistance.

VSS backup crashes TSM Schedule Service
I've been thrown the responsibility to change the TSM Server IP address used by some nodes after they've exported to a new TSM server. In one case, (node Windows 2003 running TSM Client 6.2.3.00), the TSM Schedule Service crashes if SYSTEMSTATE backup is attempted. The opt file has SNAPSHOTPROVIDERFS VSS. If I deselect SYSTEMSTATE in the client preferences, backup runs successfully and the schedule service remains running. The only change was to specify the IP address of the new TSM server (6.3.3.100), and stop/start the scheduler. Former TSM was as 5.5.2.0. I've tried deleting the schedule service and re-creating; still crashes. This is new to me, any hints from the community of experts? Thanks.

Re: V6.2.5 to V6.3.4.200 Linux Server Upgrade
Hi Zoltan, when I went to 6.3.4.0 from 6.3.somewhere-lower, an index reorg started in all my servers. The reorg was of a big table involved in dedup. It caused the active log to fill up and all the servers crashed more than once. I opened a pmr; IBM was aware of the problem, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC91190 To fix it, I had to max out the active log at 128GB, and stop all the other big log generators like expiration, reclaim, migration, id dup. Then the reorg had enough log to finish. When it was all done, there was a side benefit. These indexes had gotten really big. After the reorg there was a lot of freespace in the db. For example - tsm: >q db f=d Database Name: TSMDB1 ... Total Pages: 49,053,700 Usable Pages: 49,053,500 Used Pages: 22,947,116 Free Pages: 26,106,384 Good luck!

Re: TSM Exchange restore 6.1
Hi Jerome, The setting for "Replay restored AND current logs" should not have any effect on which databases get dismounted at restore time. Another possibility occurred to me... Microsoft changed default behavior with Exchange 2010. Exchange Server 2010 only supports VSS backups. With prior versions of Exchange, and using legacy backups methods, if a recovery database existed, all restores by default would go there. However, Microsoft changed that behavior with Exchange Server 2010. If you want to restore a database into a recovery database, you need to specifically tell DP/Exchange that you want to direct the restore "into" that recovery database. >From the GUI, with your mouse over the backup that you want to restore, click the right-mouse button and choose the recovery database that you want to restore into. For the CLI, use the "/INTODB=recov-dbname" option. It is documented in the book like this: Unless otherwise specified, VSS restores refers to all restore types that use VSS (VSS restore, VSS fast restore, VSS instant restore): ** A VSS restore ignores the recovery database and is placed directly into the production database unless the /intodb parameter is specified. If you still see problems after redirecting the restore, please open a PMR.

Re: Moving from TSMV5 to V6 / question on DIRMC
Hello Nick, thanks for your answer - because of the 2 stage storagepool there I was missing the devclas definitions ( iadd here at the bottom) So the primary pool is a random-access- StoragePool with a device class of disk so far to be accessed by lots of simultanous sessions and really not quite large - 2 Volumes with together 10 GB is quite enough for a small/medium server. The final destination of the 'dir-data' is via migrating from the disk-pool into a storage-pool with a device class of file. Why I was using this was because of the effect that at least with the TSMV5 Version it soon takes too much time to make a copy-operation of such a disk-pool - it simply took enourmous time to have the 'backup stg -Process' being traversed through such a thing. It may be that the sequential accessed media for such data is better in the performance but I haven' measured this. At least I could not not see So it works much better with the file-volumes in the end , but the dirmc itself needs to point to the diskdirs-pool to handle a lot of sessions for lots of simultanous incoming data. The reason using the DATAFormat=nonblock format was because of an older ibm-V5-setup preferences cookbook ... which I cannot find anymore... It still works without problem - but possibly this 'DATAFormat=nonblock' is no more suitable/needed at TSM V6 ?

Hi Rainer, We had to use DIRMC, even though I've heard the same that it is no longer needed.
