Win2000 Restore
I am trying to test the 5.1.5 Windows client. After I do the restore of the system objects and reboot, it creates me a new profile. I can see my icons but most of them won't work. I found a document about changing the registry, in which it does point to my user name with the name of our domain and 001. I try and change it back to my ID like it says and reboot, when I receive the error: windows\system32\config\systemd corrupt or missing. I figure I am doing something wrong, but just not sure where. Could someone please give me some advice. Server is Aix 4.3.3 TSM 4.2.3.3 I do the following steps: Install temp windows (winnt directory) restore C drive restore system objects reboot Thanks Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

TSM and Active Directory
I have been told that we are heading towards using active directory. My questions is there anywhere that I could get some good documentation on TSM and Active directory. So that I can start to prepare if I need to do anything. Any advice or direction appreciated.

TSM and Active directory
I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience with backing up active directories. The NT people here are looking to go this route, and asked me about using TSM with this. They remember the problems we had with the NT2000 and system objects. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Difference between Archive & Selective
I have an AIX client running very slow backups, we have been looking into a couple of things, when we noticed something strange. If we run an archive on the box instead of a selective backup the speed improves by like 4 times. It went from over six hours down to just over an hour. The numbers on the files inspected and backed up look the same. Has anybody else seen anything like this? The server level is 4.2.3. on aix 4.3.3 client is 4.2.2.1 on aix 4.3.3 Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Comm timeout value
As of right now the communications time out on my TSM server is 1500. I still get some time outs every so often, so I would like to increase it. The most I have seen out here posted is the 1500, is there some formula for this, or is it hit and miss. I am running TSM ver 4.2.3 on AIX 4.3.3.

Slow AIX Client backup
I have an AIX client that is backing up very slow. It is an IBM J50 running an application called Softlab. It use to take 4 1/2 hours per night going to tape. When we put it on TSM for testing it was doing 4 gb in about 4 hours. Which I said was slow, compared to are other AIX boxes. We checked the NIC and the switch settings both are at 100/full. They had no problem with this cause it was still a half hour quicker then what they had. Now we have put it into the rotation and they are screaming it has doubled to like 8 hours. I only being the administrator and not knowing much about the network group or the AIX systems group, do not know what else to check. Does anybody have any clues for me? I am running TSM server ver 4.2.3 (on AIX 4.3.3) client ver 4.2.2.1 Thanks Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Linux Client
We have a new server going in and it is running Linux Red hat 7.2. I know I need a Linux client but when I called our vendor, he said he did not believe there is such a client for the red hat. My question for the list is this a true fact, then what do I do. Or is there a Linux client that will work for this version.

98 Workstation backup problem
I am having a problem with one of my workstation clients. The backup seems to be running fine until it hits the users pst file which is over 1 gb. When it gets to this file it starts to back it up but then after a while just hangs. The client side only shows the following message in the dsmerror.log " failure in communications open call rc: -50" My activity log just shows client terminated, did not respond in seconds. If I exclude her pst file the backup runs fine. Although her NIC is set at auto, the transfer rate shows very good. Anybody have any suggestions?

Can't delete filespace
We upgraded one of our clients from NT 4 to NT 2000 and then converted to ntfs and expanded C drive. During all this we took a couple of backups that I would like to now delete. What I did is rename the node after each step. I am now trying to delete those nodes but I am getting an error message saying that no matching file spaces found. I can bring the data up if I rename the client to the name of the node I want to delete. Do I need to put something special in the delete command. I issued the following: delete filespace (node_name) (filespace) type=ANY any help appreciated Server: AIX 4.3.3 TSM: 4.2.2.12 Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Cleanup Backupgroups question
Is there any special syntax for the cleanup backupgroups question.

AIX restore from one client to another
I want to be able to restore directories from a production client to a test client. I know with the other platforms you just put the other clients node name in the path, but being unfamiliar with AIX I was not sure if this would be the same. I have not tried this yet, just looking for some direction. This is how I assume it would go: restore nodeA /usr/xyz/* -su=yes nodeB/usr/xyz/ I guess my question is, is this possible and do I have the right syntax.

Unloaddb/loaddb question
I have one more question about the unloaddb/loaddb procedure. When you do the loadformat command do you count the mirrored logs in the count. For example if I have 2 recovery log files and copies of the 2 in another directory I would assume that my loadformat command would have 4 as the number of recovery logs with the names of all 4.

Version 4.2.1.26 Client Problem?
I was wondering if any one has had any problems with the 4.2.1.26 client. I started to roll this out to production on some of my nt4.0 and 2000 clients. We have this payroll software that runs on 3 nt4.0 boxes, 1 SQL 1 file server, and 1 for the apps. The other day I upgraded them to the 4.2.1.26 clients. Two of the boxes are fine, but the SQL box is now acting up. It does not lock the box up, or crash it, It just will not allow users to access the shares. It seems to be ok after a reboot but the next day we start over again. We are trying to do some more debugging, but was wondering if anyone else had any kind of similar problem.

Unload/load DB question
If I want to do a unload/load DB for maintenance reasons, do I still need to do the DSMSERV Format part, or is this just for when you lose the database. These are the steps I found in the manual: 1) DSMSERV Dumpdb 2) DSMSERV Format (init database & recovery logs) 3) DSMSERV Loaddb 4) DSMSERV Auditdb (if necessary) Is there anything else I need to do, or should be aware of Thanks Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Unload DB question
I have been seeing some postings about the unload/load database commands. I am a learn as you go tsmer, so this has peeked my interest. I am in the process of cleaning up some of the nodes that had resided in TSM.

AIX client Password Problem
I sent a note earlier about some of my aix clients failing on backup due to invalid password file. We reset the password and it is ok for awhile then happens again. Someone responded that there was a fix APAR IC31516, but I can not find this fix in the version 4.1 clients. I am running 4.1.2 client on server 4.1.5. Should I upgrade the client to the next release 4.1.3 or should I go up into the latest 4.2 client. Also do I have to remove the previous version, or can I just install over it.

TSM Crashing
Is there a known bug in TSM 4.1.0 (AIX) We have been running since February, but all of a sudden the last few days my TSM server keeps crashing. It has crashed the last three days and five of the last seven. It has come at different times of the day and I can't seem to find a common link. The TSM log just stops and the AIX error log says a core dump software abnormal termination. I figure if I call support, the first thing they will tell me is what I want to do, upgrade to the latest 4.1 ( I believe 4.1.4). However I have very little AIX knowledge and have to wait for our AIX people. If I can tell them that there are known bugs and that this should fix the problem, it may light a fire under them. Any ammo or help would be appreciated.

If we reset the password and then rerun the job it works ok, but the AIX guys are asking me what happened and I don't know what to tell them.

Select Question
Is there somewhere that I can find the sql names of the fields that are available in the different tables. For example I am trying to query the event table for the start time, completed time, and the status for specific nodes. I figured out the start time and status but I am having trouble with the completed time. I guess what I am trying to say is, how can I see what info is in the table available to me. Also is there a way to get rid of the date from the start time.

Client 4.1.2.12 Problem?
I was wondering if there is problems with the Windows NT client 4.1.2.12. I remember seeing a previous note about backups die, when it hits a file it did not know how to handle. Here is my problem, I have been upgrading my NT clients from 3.06 to 4.1.2.12. I am just over half way done, but on two of the servers I have upgraded I have the following problem. The backup will be going along and then just die, the only message in the act log is client timed out. I tried putting the clients in verbose, but then the problem stopped. I put the client back in quite mode, a couple of days ago, and now it started again yesterday. TSM server is 4.1.0 My next question is if I have to upgrade, can I do it without rebooting. A lot of our servers here are 24 x 7, and it is not easy to get permission for down time. thanks Mike Anderson CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Novell 3.12 question with TSM
We have upgraded our TSM server from 3.1.2.20 to version 4.1.0 Since I have done this, I have the following error on all the 3.12 command screens: TCPIP- 4.0-235: Number of connections in syn-received state on port 1501 has exceeded the maximum (16) allowed by the application. Could be due to a possible syn attack. TCPIP is trying to compensate by deleting all half-open connections. Although it does not appear to be causing me any problems in the backups, the network guys don't like the error. I can't find any documentation on requirements for any certain Novell pieces. I have not upgraded the Novell client yet it is still at 3.1.06 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Changing file attributes
Has anyone else had this time of problem? We have just upgraded from adsm 3.1.2.20 to 4.1 on AIX , the client is still 3.1.06. We upgrade the TSM server a week ago, now all of a sudden the file attributes are changed after the backup from read/write/shared to just read/write. I am not sure if it is TSM but the upgrade is the only change that has happened. Any help or advice would be appreciated. The client is a Novell 3.12

TDP for Microsoft Exchange
I have ADSM 3.1.2.20 for NT with client 3.06. I have installed TDP for exchange 1.1 I can ran a manual backup with no problem, but when I try to install the scheduler I keep getting an invalid option file. I have issued the following command to install the scheduler from the baclient directory: DSMCUTIL INST /NAME:'EXCHANGE SCHEDULER' /NODE:NODENAME //PASSWORD:PASSWORD /CLIENTDIR:"C:\WIN32APP\IBM\ADSM\BACLIENT /OPTFILE:"C:\WIN32APP\IBM\ADSM\MSEXC\DSM.OPT my questions I guess is one can this version of exchange agent run with the 3.06 client and second is there any incorrect syntax that I keep missing. Any help appreciated We will be going to TSM 4.1, but not till beginning of the year.
Upgrade to Tivoli
I was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat I am. We are trying to upgrade our ADSM 3.1.2.20 to Tivoli. I was just informed however that because we have a Netstore a01, that we can not upgrade. My question is if anyone else has the same problem, what are you going to do?
