Reg: TSM for VE 7.1.8 and 8.1.1
Hello Guys, Do you know when the tsm4ve 8.1.1 been releasing.

LTO tape label problem
We have recently received a number of tapes from a remote site that have tape labels that are not compatible with out TS3500. They are too long and the paper label does not exactly match the electronic label. We have found we can hand mount a tape and see the soft label. The problem is the soft is not a valid label for the library. An example is LTO00021L, we have all of the 20 series. Truncating leaves me with a bunch of LTO0002 tapes. Short of hand mounting many tapes, how can I have TSM mount and read these tapes? Thank you, Andy Huebner
Re: scheduling a restore
Gary, I was tasked to do this for over 1,000 servers in our DR facility, basically data is backed up in production and it need to be restored on an ongoing basis to stand-by servers at our DR site to minimize recovery time. You can create a restore schedule in the same manner as a backup schedule, but for my needs there were limitations that made it unattractive, such as overwriting existing files, multiple filespaces, etc., etc. In the end I went in another direction, creating a macro. I tested the commands needed to accomplish my restore, copied them into a text file, named it with an extension of "mac", copied it to the client install directory. and whala , problem solved. Then I defined a reoccurring client schedule that looks like this: Policy Domain Name: FILE_DOMAIN Schedule Name: RESTORE2 Description: DR/BCP restore schedule for LPAR-2. Action: Macro Subaction: Options: Objects: restore-bcp.mac Priority: 5 Start Date/Time: 05/23/2016 08:00:00 Duration: 8 Hour(s) Maximum Run Time (Minutes): 0 Schedule Style: Classic Period: 1 Day(s) Day of Week: Any My commands in the macro are exactly as they would be typed at the command line, here's an example: restore -replace=all -subdir=yes /home/ra/ You would obviously need to add a second file specification to the end of it for your restore destination. I use the replace option to replace all the files, as well as restore any subdirectories and their files too. Refer to documented syntax for the restore command for a list of the myriad of options available. Possibilities are pretty much endless -Rick Adamson Jacksonville, FL. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Lee, Gary Sent: Friday, March 31, 2017 8:19 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] scheduling a restore Tsm client 6.3.2 for windows, server 7.1.7.1 running on RHEL 6.8.

Re: How to determine why a session is in IdleW
Does the actlog say anything about the server determining which volumes are required for the NQR restore? That process may take some time with 31 mill objects. 03/31/17 13:06:10 ANR1183I Initial determination of removable volumes required for a restore request from session 197526 is complete. Additional volumes may still be required. (SESSION: 197526) Hans Chr.

Re: Best Practices/Best Performance SP/TSM B/A Client Settings ?
Any reason to set TCPWINDOWSIZE lower than maximum? And on the same note why not let the OS handle it(TCPWINDOWSIZE 0) ? Hans Chr.
