Re: Vote for feature: Media lifecycle

2019-04-04 Thread Harris, Steven
When I moved over from Mainframe to midrange a very long time ago, I was used 
to the old mainframe TMS/CA-1 tape management software.
Never understood why TSM did not implement a scratch pool as in that product to 
keep track of its scratch tapes, even if just to keep the usage stats.

I too have voted for the RFE

Cheers

I voted for it as well. We can get some of this information from ACSLS but it 
would be nice to have something that is not tied to Oracle/STK.

Re: many ANR5024W (servermon) messages in actlog

2019-04-04 Thread Marc Lanteigne
Hi Stefan,

You don't need to configure Servermon, at least not the built-in version
included at 8.1.7 and above.

It's your choice to run it or not and you can also use "setopt
alwaysonservermon off" to stop it.  However, I'd recommend you address the
warning rather than stop it altogether instead.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with Servermon or not.   It started out as
a Perl script outside the server, we have been using this for years for
data collection for various types of problems from performance to long
running issues where we need data captured at frequent intervals to see the
progression of a process or session.

The idea behind having it running it all the time is that if you open a
case with IBM with a problem that occurred yesterday, support will ask for
Servermon from that day, instead of waiting for a reoccurrence of the
problem.  It's even possible that the problem that occurred yesterday
really started 2 weeks ago, so they could go back to that point.  There
will still be some problems that will require additional data capture, but
Servermon will often be the starting point.

The warning you are seeing appears to be because the Servermon executable
has stopped running.  Check if there's a Servermon running, if not you can
restart it.   You can also use "setopt alwaysonservermon off" to stop it,
and set it again to ON to start it.

Marc...
