Re: What have they done to Passport!

2016-02-23 Thread Paul_Dudley
I have wasted hours of my life on the Passport Advantage site going around in 
circles. Of any website by any major manufacturer of any product, it is far and 
away the worst I have ever encountered.

Thanks & Regards
Paul

Yep, looks like a re-do with a major hiccup.

The link to get to passport advantage seems to just reload the initial page.

I haven't been to Passport for a while. All I want to do is download the latest 
7.1 with included licenses (vs patches from the FTP site).

I have been wandering around and clicking for 30+ minutes and can't figure out 
what used to be a simple 3-clicks to get to my entitled software!  It keeps 
wanting to sell me something.  All I want is the software I am entitled to!  
Why is this being made so hard?

help configuring amazon storage gateway vtl

2016-02-23 Thread Lee, Gary
Finally have nmore information on our possible vtl configurations.

First, the medium changer / library is either "amazon storage gateway changer" 
or stk l700.
The drives are configured as IBM ult3580-tb5.
These drives are supported by the lin_tape driver.  No problem there.

Looking for help getting the medium changer configured.
Is it possible to use the tsm generic scsi driver for this and use lin_tpae for 
the drives?

Looking at the various manuals, but a little confused.

Thanks for any and all help.


Re: Rebalance the TSM DB filespaces

2016-02-23 Thread Vandeventer, Harold [OITS]
There are two additional tablespaces if you use node replication:
db2 alter tablespace REPLTBLSPACE1 rebalance
db2 alter tablespace REPLIDXSPACE1 rebalance

and the related reduce max commands for them.

Some of the tablespaces provided by Bill's db2 select do not allow a rebalance. 
 The names implying temporary space: TEMPSPACE1, TSMTEMP, LGTMPSP and 
SYSTOOLSTMPSPACE.

David,

We have performed the DB rebalance a few times without issue and we have run 
all the tablespaces at the same time. But we have our TSM databases on Raid 10 
disks on a Hitachi storage array. You might want to break up the rebalances by 
running each tablespace individually if you are using slower storage.

Also you can use this query to monitor the number of DB extents left to 
rebalance for each tablespace.

db2 "select varchar(tbsp_name, 30) as tbsp_name, dbpartitionnum, 
rebalancer_mode, rebalancer_extents_remaining, rebalancer_extents_processed, 
rebalancer_start_time from
table(snap_get_tbsp_part_v91(NULL,-2)) as t"

The rebalance process is complete when the columns under REBALANCER_MODE = 
NO_REBAL

Thanks,
Bill

Need Windows server levels for a V5.5.7 TSM server for a customer

2016-02-23 Thread Bill Boyer
Customer is at 5.5.7 and is planning on moving to Veeam (I'll wash my mouth
out later!) in the summer. But the server hardware needs to be replaced.
Anyone have the Windows server requirements for a V5.5.7 TSM server? They
just want to move it for now instead of going through an upgrade
conversion/migration.
