Problems with IBM 3584-L32 library with IBM prelabeld LTO cartridges

2003-01-29 Thread Kilchenmann Timo
Dear all,

We run into the following problem:

Bought 80 additional labeled LTO cartridges through IBM. Inserted the
cartridges into the library. BUT the library/picker is not able the get the
cartridges out of the slots nor the tape drives. Doing the procedure by
hand I found out, that I need to apply allot of force.

I opened a hardware call. IBM guy showed up, updated microcode on library
and drives. The guy told me that the problems with the cartridges are our
business - not his or IBM's. I responded back that both the library and the
cartridges are from IBM! - no good :-(.

Has anyone out there experienced similar problems? How were the problems
solved?

Re: Problems with IBM 3584-L32 library with IBM prelabeld LTO car tridges

2003-01-29 Thread Kilchenmann Timo
Yes as a result of the hardware problem. First cartrige is labeled ok. But
the umount of the volumes fails, because the gripper is not able to get the
cartridge out of the drive (to much forced needed).

Do you mean the label libv command failed?

Does TSM use all DB Volumes for I/O?

2002-10-02 Thread Kilchenmann Timo

Dear all,

I have looked through the adsm.org archives. The answers I got from the
archives are not consistent.

I would vary much appreciate an answer to the question: Does TSM use all DB
volumes for I/O (like round-robin) or does it fill a volume and then goes
to the next one?

What about LOG volumes?

Many thanks in advance

Timo



What stripe size to use for TSM DB, LOG

2002-10-02 Thread Kilchenmann Timo

Dear all,

From a previous threat I learned, that TSM fills a DB volume an than goes
to the next one. Same is true for the LOG volumes - no load balancing
like on STG Volumes via client sessions.

In this case (DB  LOG) I plan to use AIX LVM to stripe the logical volumes
over the available physical disks. The question here is what stripe size
should I use? Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance!!!

Timo

According the Tivoli the Problem ist fixed at server level 4.2.1.13.

I will give level 4.2.1.15 a try. Will inform the list about the result!

Hi Timo,

We are also experiencing this problem. I found APAR IC32694 on Tivoli's
website, which states that TSM is turning off compression at the drive, but
doesn't really give a resolution. We are going to be opening a PMR with
Tivoli in the future.

 Thanks for your answer!

 So what is the value SDLTC in device class DLT for? Probably to
choice
 between compression/nocompression - right?  Because of the hardware/os
 combination the TSM device driver is used -  IT is a Tivoli TSM thing! No
 one having the same problem?

  We use a Compaq MSL5026SL tapelibrary. Device class DLT is configured

  library/drive configuration information). TSM Server is 4.2.1.0 on W2K.

 TSM does not contain a mechanism for setting hardware parameters. (Almost
 impossible with the thousands of drive/OS combinations possible!) It
 sounds
 like a bug in the tape driver.

Large TSM database due to no. of files and versions

2001-11-26 Thread Kilchenmann Timo

Dear all,

We have the following problem:

We are backing up some large Novell servers (more than 1 million files per
Server). The users want to be able to restore every version of a file 30
days back and every version of a file at the end of a month 12 months back.
In order to meet these requirements at least partly we set the backup
management class as follows:

Versions Data Exists: 10
Versions Data Deleted: 5
Retain Extra Versions: 366
Retain Only Version: 366

Because of these settings, the TSM database grew to 15 GB in the last 6
months and is growing fast even further. Restore performance is bad for
these servers as well.

Is there a possibility / idea to get over this apart from using archives? Is
it possible to create archives (not backupsets) from existing data on the
TSM server?

Any idea is welcome!
