TDP R/3

2002-12-20 Thread Bill Zhang
Can somebody explain me why use TDP for R/3 to backup
SAP DB2 database while you can backup DB2
offline/online directly to TSM?
What are the binifits?

Thanks a lot.

Doug,

Can a online backup backup open database files?

Can parallel backup paths, multi-thread be one of the
benefits?

Thanks.

Re: TDP R/3

2002-12-20 Thread Bill Zhang
Sorry for the confusions. What happened is
one of our clients use SAP, DB2 running on AIX.
They use TSM as their backup software and I configured
the DB2 to do online backup using TSM. They have been
performinging their backups(40 - 50 GB daily) that
way.

They called me yesterday and told me they were made to
purchase TDP for R/3 and they asked me how they can be
benefited by using it. All I know about TDP for R/3 is
from manual "Tivoli Data Protectio for R/3
Installatio &User  s Guide for DB2 UDB". So I need
somebody who has TDP for R/3 experience give me some
points.

Thanks a lot!

Bill

questions on DB and recovery log backup

2003-02-15 Thread Bill Zhang
Hi list,

My environment:
TSM server 5.1.0 on AIX433ML10.
TSM client 4.2.1 on the same box.

I have two questions.

Q1. Can I backup a TSM database onto a volume that has
already contained another db backup? another word,
Can I run the following command twice without failure?
  TSM> backup db type=full devclass=tapeclass
volumenames=dbbk1
when I ran the command the second time, the TSM said
the dbbk1 is already in use - skipped

Q2. How to backup recovery log?
Is backing up the OS file systems on where the
recovery log was created the only way or one the ways
to do that?

Thanks a lot.

Bill

media mount not possible

2003-09-15 Thread Bill Zhang
hi all

TSM Server 5.1.5
Client 5.1.5
AIX 5100-04
Tape Library 3584 with 4 3580 drives

I have 15 LTO 2 tapes in the library.
I used Webadmin GUI to label the tape thinking they
are checked in also, becuase I can see them in the
Library Volumes window.

I set the "MAX number allowed  scratch wolume" to 15
for the tape pool 3584TAPEPOOL1.

mount limit is DRIVES

When I tried to make a full backup, it pop up a
message
"server media mount not possible" and in the log, it
says

ANR0535W  insufficient mount points available to
satisfy the request.

I don't know what is wrong.

many thanks for your help

Bill

Could this be a bug?

2003-09-16 Thread Bill Zhang
Dear All,

I have installed and configured previous of TSM
(include ADSM) up to TSM 5.1.0.

Right now, I'm doing TSM 5.1.5 on AIX.
AIX 5100-04
TSM 5.1.5
Tape Lib 3584

when I tried to make a backup, no matter what I do, I
kept getting this message "Server media mount not
possible"

Could this be a bug?

I know it sounds stupid to think this way, but I have
done all what I know.

TIA

Wolfgang,

I just installed the TSM server 5.1.5 yesterday and
only tried the first backup before hitting this error.
Thank you for the information. I will try all them
this evening and get the result then. If not work, I
will upgrade the server to 5.1.6.1 and see what will
happen.

Best regards to you.
