Error Message, Unicode: While we are NOT doing library sharing, we do have 3 different TSM servers talking to the same 3494 library. Each has it's own drives physcially connected, and none of the servers knows anything about the other server's tape drives. What we had set for each of our 3590tape devclass was "mountlimit=drives". What we learned is that the tsm call to find an available tape drive is an actual call to the LIBRARY to see how many drives are available, and that doesn't bother to check the server's local count of available tape drives. Our library has 32 drives in it, but the server with this problem only had 13 drives connected. So, when TSM went to try mounting another tape, the above errors occurred. The answer is to set the tape devclass for each server to the exact number of drives available to that server. Just thought it'd be worth sharing.

Not only me but all we should thank to those many IBMers volunteering on the list and helping us all the time. Just to name a few: Del Hoobler, Thiha Than, Neil Rasmussen, Pete Tanenhaus, Gianluca Mariani, Nick Cassimatis, Bill Degli-Angeli, Gabriel Wiley, Hunny Kershaw, Lotti Brooks and of course our top poster Mr. Raibeck. You guys are helping us alot and we are overusing your kind assistance all the time (not bagging, I would disagree with the recent discussion). At least I can recall 4-5 time you Andy made this same P.S. - APAR was opened on . The pulse of TSM's life was sensed by development directly. And despite many comments seen here about the product, my (personal) opinion is this is one of the best supported products I've worked with. Side question to rest of the list: for how many products you've had the same or better support and from how many vendors? I do not have any idea about support quality in U.S. At least here in Bulgaria IBM's support is far from good but is THE BEST compared to *any* other vendor.

When it comes to the TSM product code, ADSM-L is one of the best places to be because your message gets to people who write the code. In a similar fashion, the feedback mechanism that I mentioned yesterday will enable your message about the books and the web site to get to the people who manage the books and the web site. While we in development make a best effort to carry this kind of feedback to the right people, the feedback is now "second-hand", and as such, it tends to get diluted. So I would recommend that you use the web site's feedback mechanism to provide feedback on the web site and the books. Please note that I am not trying to be dismissive of these legitimate issues; I am only trying to help point you to the place where your voice is likely to have a greater impact.

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence. Andy, please do not assume its personal to you - you just brought the bad news, not created them. Actually those web folks (not we) ought to submit in this case a long list of requests for doc-updates. Each book contains the "hard to redirect" address. I would bet some other books have already been submitted for publishing and also contain the wrong address. At least my docs for ITSM 5.1 contain it (and are less than a year old). Why is so hard to redirect this address for a year or two before discontinuing it?! Or IBM is losing control over tivoli.com domain? Regarding Steve's recent post I will not throw all the mud on developers. But for sure can complain about management of tivoli.com to ibm.com transition (despite all help and communications from Luiz Nevarez). Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant

Thanks again for your help - it's much appreciated. Jeff In my experience, if the channel does not form, the switch has no way of knowing these 2 (or more) ports go to the same node. Therefore, it will treat them as two (or more) separate nodes since it will see two different MAC addresses: one on each port. The IP address assigned to each NIC should then be ping-able (asuming all routing/VLANs and such working properly) as it would as if you were not trying to channel and just had a node with 2 NICs. The only way I can think of this NOT happening, is if: (a) mis-config of NIC(s) on node e.g. no IP assigned, administratively downed (b) the switch is set to FORCE a channel (done with "CHANNEL-GROUP x MODE ON" or some variation of depending on switch model...). In this case, the switch will be expecting a channel to form, if one does not, connectivity may not be established. This can be used to form a channel if the NIC(s) do NOT suppport PAgP, or have weak support of, but are still capable of EtherChannel since no PAgP frames are sent in the "ON" mode. We had case (b) happen on some Intel NICs we had once. They supported EtherChannel, but for some reason PAgP did not work. When we set the channel to "ON" (forced) and it worked. This might be the case with ours. Hope that helps some! Chris

Channel(Document link: Jeff G Kloek)
Direct from IBM:
A little further research reveals that when you set up etherchannel via the
smitty etherchannel menus you are by default setting up cisco base port
aggregation.
We'll try this later tonight and I'll report on the results.
Thanks for all your help.

Please respond to
"ADSM: Dist Stor

>>Please hazard a guess on this one: If the adapter doesn't and the channel
doesn't form, does that mean the ip address won't be pingable at all?
Thanks
again for your help - it's much appreciated. Jeff
In my experience, if the channel does not form, the switch has no way of
knowing these 2 (or more) ports go to the same node. Therefore, it will
treat them as two (or more) separate nodes since it will see two different
MAC addresses: one on each port. The IP address assigned to each NIC
should
then be ping-able (asuming all routing/VLANs and such working properly) as
it would as if you were not trying to channel and just had a node with 2
NICs. The only way I can think of this NOT happening, is if:
(a) mis-config of NIC(s) on node e.g. no IP assigned, administratively
downed
(b) the switch is set to FORCE a channel (done with "CHANNEL-GROUP x MODE
ON" or some variation of depending on switch model...). In this case, the
switch will be expecting a channel to form, if one does not, connectivity
may not be established. This can be used to form a channel if the NIC(s)
do
NOT suppport PAgP, or have weak support of, but are still capable of
EtherChannel since no PAgP frames are sent in the "ON" mode.
We had case (b) happen on some Intel NICs we had once. They supported
EtherChannel, but for some reason PAgP did not work. When we set the
channel to "ON" (forced) and it worked. This might be the case with ours.
Hope that helps some!

Re: Gigabit Ether Channel
Thank you. I am now checking into whether or not my adapters support that protocol. I can't fathom them not, but this gives me a place to start. Please hazard a guess on this one: If the adapter doesn't and the channel doesn't form, does that mean the ip address won't be pingable at all? Thanks again for your help - it's much appreciated.

Your NIC's (or drivers more accurately) MUST support PAgP, for the channel to be automatically formed. This is a Cisco protocol that handles the negotiation of the channel and without it, you will be hard pressed to make the channel work! Intel NIC's support PAgP, and I *think* some 3Com ones do, but other than that, I am not sure... Contact me directly if you would like more info.

Re: Oracle RMAN error
I've run into this a number of times. It was usually related to my agent license file. Make sure you have a valid one in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin.

"David Longo" cc: Sent by: "ADSM:Subject: Oracle RMAN error Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] DU> 01/07/2003 02:27 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We have Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 (32 bit)on AIX 4.3.3 and TDPO 2.2.1.0. TSM server is 4.2.2.10. The client is a new setup.

Filespaces Remain from years ago
I've just begun to take over this environment from the admin who left. I have a large number of filespaces across a lot of my systems that have not been a part of these systems for years. I'm wondering what governs TSM keeping those filespaces out there. All of the filespaces in question represent mount points that don't even exist any more. Some go back to before 1999! Can someone please tell me where the setting is that governs how long these are kept? All these entries are useless, and are taking up much needed room in my database. Any insight will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
