We installed efix 6.1.6.006 which was supposed to fix the issue, but it doesn't. Support told us to do and audit volume on all affected volumes after the restart with the efix. After that a backup stg or a space reclamation would show the same errors as before. Regards Christoph (For Colin: See Case TS001523391)

Allen S. Rout schrieb: The default option is FILEData=None It is no option for us to export the file data. We have about 3 hundred AIT tapes with file data. If you want to retain the backup history now present on your old TSM server, you will need to export and import the nodes. You can do this in smaller chunks, if you care to, a node at a time, for instance. There are many ways you might accomplish the transfer; http://open-systems.ufl.edu/services/NSAM/whitepapers/50ways.html is my attempt to catalog some of them. Moving from platform to platform is a Big Deal; don't expect it to be quick or trivial, on any axis. I'd say Stay on AIX; 510s aren't that expensive. :) The decission was to move away from AIX, because we have no sysadmin knowledge with AIX and the machine grew more and more unmanaged. The problem that I see now is, that we have only one library. We want to reuse the library that is now running with the AIX machine on the Linux machine. I don't have an old and a new library to copy the data between the old and new server. And I suppose that connecting the library as a shared library virtually two both servers and then copiing the data will not help, since that library is still physically only connected to one server and this server will write and read in its own format, correct?

Though you may have, by this message, incurred a small avalanche of consulting aid offers. :) Thanks anyway. Your webpage is very instructive.

I don't recall how your library was attached, or even what it was; but there's no reason not to hook up several servers of divergent architectures to one library. If it's a SAN library, it may be nearly trivial. And then you could do _just_ that: get both servers using the same set of drives, and gradually move load from one to the other, as your copy behavior progresses. It is a SCSI-Library with AIT Drives directly attached to a 43p with AIX. What I was thinking of, was doing a server to server connection and defining the library in the new server as SHARED. So I have a IP connection from new_server to old_server and a SCSI connection from old_server to library. -- Christoph Martin, EDV der Verwaltung, Uni-Mainz, Germany Internet-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telefon: +49-6131-3926337

Mark Stapleton schrieb: I've done a couple of customers in just the same boat you're in, with the added complication that the single library they had was at capacity. They finally decided to create export tapes of their two or three critical servers, and then threw away their entire backup library and started over. If your library has room, you can set up the new server as a library server, and the old library as a library client. That removes the necessity of physical connections for both servers. So, the old server can still access it's media on the library server, if its now a library client and the OS of the library server is different from the OS of the library client?

Migrate TSM Server 4.2.4 on AIX 4.3.3 to 5.3 on Linux Howto (retry)
We currently have out TSM server version 4.2.4 running on a PowerPC with AIX 4.3.3. We now want to migrate to new hardware using version 5.3 on a (Debian) Linux server. Are there any recommendation which migration path to use? - Is it possible to import a full backup of the TSM database from version 4.2.4/AIX into a version 5.3/Linux? - Or do I first have to upgrade my 4.2.4 to 5.3 on AIX and then make the database backup? I just found out, that you can only upgrade to version 5.1.5 on AIX 4.3.3. Is this a recommened step on the way to 5.3 on Linux? Upgrading AIX from 4.3.3 to 5.x is not an option. - Another option would be to use the export server function. Can I use this to export all the relevant data (exluding the actual backup files) from 4.2.4/AIX and import it into 5.3/Linux ? The second level storage is on AIT-2 tapes in a SCSI library. I hope I can just connect this library to the Linux box and use the information on the tapes. Correct? Any hints are welcome.

TSM Server on Debian Linux with Qualstar Library
Hi, we are planning to upgrade our old TSM 4.2 server (43p, 133Mhz, AIX 4.3) with a Qualstar 46120 AIT2 tape library to a new server, os and TSM version. Since we are using Debian Linux on a lot of servers, we would like to also run TSM 5.x with Debian Linux. I know from out old AIX box, that for the tape library we need special ADSM Drivers for the tapes and for the picker. No I would like to know, if anybody has experiences with TSM on a Debian server, how kernel dependend this is, if we need special drivers for the tape library, etc. I know, that TSM is not officially supported on Debian Linux yet. Also we want to put the disc pools onto an iSCSI device. Can we use the normal iSCSI drivers for that?

HSM, Veritas and Solaris
Hi all,
I just got Tivoli Space Manager (4.1) (alias HSM) for Solaris and am
reading the requirements. It says there, that I need Solaris 2.6 and
Veritas VxFS 3.3.2. However, Solaris 2.6 is really autdated, we have
Version 7 installed, and the recent version of VxFS is 3.3.3.
Does anybody know if HSM is working with this environment?
Christoph Martin
