Alerting on ANR9999D
Hi *smers, Do any of you use any alerting tools to monitor ANRD messages? As we know, these ANRD messages can be anything from an 'overwrite this file' prompt on a client not being satisified within a given time period, to something as serious as the failure to insert an object in the backup table. Given this fact, do any of you have alerting systems in place, and procedures which would be followed against these ANRDs? I'm building an Ops guide to TSM, and I don't really want to get called out on the non-critical alerts. The ANRD page on the tsmwiki has a number of these failures, http://www.tsmwiki.com/tsmwiki/Anrd and some hints regarding what might be the cause of the problem, but not enough for me to point the Ops there and say 'do what that page says'. I can't possibly document a solution to all the possible ANRD's before they've appeared, so I'am in a bit of a quandry. How do you alert against these unpredictable messages?

When you restore the TSM data base, it wil show that your primary tape pool tapes are still "readwrite", and your offsite tapes are "offsite". But, your primary pool tapes are actually burned up, and your copypool tapes have presumably been retrieved from your vault and are now at your recovery site. Look at the parms for the "update vol" command - All you have to do is enter "update vol * wherestgpool=primarytapepoolname access=unavailable" (or DESTROYED) "update vol * wherestgpool=copypoolname access=readonly" Now check your copypool tapes into your library (if you have one at your recovery site), status=PRIVATE. When you start a restore on one of your clients, TSM checks to see what tape is needed. When it sees the primarypool tape is marked UNAVAILABLE, it will automatically switch over and mount the copypool tape instead. The gotcha: At your offsite location, your tape drives may not have the same /dev/rmtx names they did at your primary location. BUT, when you reload your TSM data base, the drive & path definitions get reloaded as well. So you may have a bit of patching to do before you can start your restores.

SCHEDLOGNAME extraneous setting
Hi *smers, While confirming some Exchange scheduler configs through the GUI I found this setting for SCHEDLOGNAME C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\TDPExchange\DailyExc_Scheduler.log:yes Can anyone please tell me what the ':yes' does?

Re: 'Node access list' through web not displaying properly
Richard, now _that's_ a project - change the 800 wintel machines to Mac! If we were a Post-Production house or some kind of visual/audio designers I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem, but being a bank and all.. It sounds like you're saying that this isn't something I could ask IBM to fix, as such, it's more of an environmental issue which needs resolving. But if you're able to recreate it on an up-to-date environment then perhaps there IS something IBM can look at?

Matthew - Difficulties encountered with Web applications are complex in the myriad elements which may participate in them: the browser, the host service, Java in the PC, JavaScript (which has nothing to do with Java) in the PC, Flash, certificates, SSL, etc. This, in this case, you can't simply point to the TSM client and say, "Aha!", particularly as the Web Client so heavily depends upon Java in the PC. I reproduced your problem on up-to-date XP, with both IE and Firefox: click on a line in that access list box, and nothing is highlighted. I tried it also on Macintosh OS X with browsers Safari and Netscape and Firefox: click on a line element and a box appears around it, no problem. Conclusion: Get a Mac, and greatly reduce your frustrations. ;-) Richard Sims _ This email (including any attachments to it) is confidential, legally privileged, subject to copyright and is sent for the personal attention of the intended recipient only.

'Node access list' through web not displaying properly
Guys, I've noticed a bug in our 5.2.4.4 software and I was wondering if it was worth my while opening a PMR to fix it. When I open a web client interface on a client, go to utilities and select 'Node Access List' the window opens. Adding nodes it no problem, but when I want to remove the node access's I defined, when I click on a line in the window nothing is highlighted, so I can't tell which node access I'm about to delete. Is this something which is fixed in 5.3.2?

TSM client service update
Hi Folks, TSM client 5.2.4 on W3K sp4, Server 5.2.4.5 on W2K sp4. I've been attempting to update the TSM client scheduler with a changed dsm.opt - all that's different is the nodename. But every time it completes the supposed update, I check the dsmsched.log and it's the same old name which is logging in to TSM. So, I thought I should uninstall the TSM services, which I did. Tried to re-install it and at the end of the button clicking, press Finish and I am presented with a one button window which says "Error 23 installing the service: . The service is currently marked for deletionThe service wasn't installed" I've copied the formatting errors from the window. My only option is to press the OK button, which shows me that last window of the service install, I click Finish again - same result. Any clues anywhere?

Sun Clusters?
Hi all, TSM 5.2.4 I'm having some ongoing problems with a SUN cluster - I've defined a node for each local disk, and a 'floating' node for the clustered services, but there's no clear documentation, from what I can find, on how to setup TSM to backup the SUN cluster. Is there any documentation you know of which explains how to set up TSM on a SUN clustered resource?

Re: Node attribute change
Ah, I think I'm looking for an 'official' answer - the node was contacted using the Server Prompted option, TSM found a new TCP address, at this point I would have expected TSM to record the new TCP address against the node, and to use the new address in future contacts, not the old one. The backup was not successful because TSM could not communicate with the client wusing the IP it had, despite the node reporting an attribute change.

MMC memory leak?
Hi all, I left the MMC console running overnight on a W2K box, monitoring three TSM servers.
