Re: Shared mem with Solaris LAN-Free
rowan, if you want to use shared memory as communication protocol on solaris, you have to add to /etc/system: set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456 but lan free client does not work with shared memory protocol, according to readme file (tsm client 5.2.0): - On Solaris, the only supported LANFREECommmethod is TCPip (Loopback). in my environment (sf 3800, lto2, server and storage agent - 5.1.6.2, client - 5.2.0) lan free with tcp/ip is slower than 1 gbit lan. :-( by. viliam varga All, I keep getting the error when trying to run the sharedmem commethod on the TSM Storage Agent on my Sun Solaris server. ANR9600E Failed to allocate memory for shared memory communications. Error: EINVAL. ANR8289W Shared Memory driver is terminating due to error in creating a new thread. Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this?

Re: Non-IBM LTO tapes in a 3584
hi, mark, within 1 year we use 100 imation and 500 fujifilm ultrium1 tapes in ibm lto drives. approximately 10% of imation tapes we had to return to distributor, because of unloading problems. only 2 fujifilm tapes had serious errors. ibm recomends fujifilm (some months ago maxell too) as alternative brands to ibm ultrium tapes, you can check it on ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers_pdf/tapemedialist.pdf. by viliam varga All, We're looking at purchasing extra LTO-1 tapes to go in our 3584. To date, we've been running IBM tapes but we've gotten cheaper prices on HP and Imation tapes. Both HP and Imation are priced about 30% less than the IBM tapes. But I'm wondering if there are any quality issues with either of these brands. Also, I'm wondering if running non-IBM tapes in a 3584 might raise any issues. Can anyone help?

L700 - DLT7000 drive errors
Hi all, our customer has a problem with TSM server and library SUN L700 (oemed STK L700) with four DLT7000 drives - he can use only three drives in this library. All four drives are defined on TSM server. One of them, does not matter which one, must be manualy changed to status online=no. If four drives are online, TSM server generate lot of error messages on drives - write errors, read errors, locate errors, flush errors (approximately ten messages per hour).

TSM 4.1.2, SUN Solaris, StorEdge L20
Hi all, can anybody help me with following problem: TSM device driver (lb) cannot identify library contrloler on tape library SUN StorEdge L20 (2 drives, 20 tapes). TSM tape device driver (mt) works fine on both DLT 7000 drives. Veritas NetBackup BusinesServer 3.3 software installed on the same machine uses library robot and drives without failures. CONFIGURATION: Hardware: SUN Ultra5, 256MB RAM, 16GB HDD SUN StorEdge L20, 2x DLT7000 Software: Solaris 2.7, 64bit TSM server 4.1.2 Thank you. Viliam Varga

ADSM 2 to TSM 4.1 migration
Hi, we are going to migrate old ADSM v.2 server (AIX) to TSM 4.1 (AIX). May I use "dsmserv upgrade db" command, or I have to use "export/import server"? Does anybody have any experiences with migrating from version 2 to version 4? Thanks. Viliam Varga
Sun StorEdge L20 support
Hi, does anybody have experiences with TSM 3.7 or 4.1 server (any platform) and Sun StorEdge L20 library? L20 is not included in device support lists, but it looks like supported HP SureStore 2/20, excepting drive technology - DLT 7000 vs DLT 8000. Does anybody know, if there are any other differences between these libraries? From Tivoli TechLine Support we received unsatisfactory answer. And what about StorEdge L400 (Exabyte 220) :-) ? Thanks.

Slow ODBC in 4.1

SAN and Tape Drives
Hi, we want to implement a small SAN (2 TSM servers on Sun Solaris, 1 Disk Array, 1 Tape Library), and we have a problem with HBA QLogic QLA2200. Tape support option on QLA2200 is enabled, but from Solaris I see only disks and I can't see tape drives. What is wrong? Does anybody have similar problem? Many thanks for any help. Viliam Varga
SAN Storage Agent
Hi, can anybody tell me, where can I find TSM Storage Agent for Windows NT (or for Solaris, if exist)? Thanks. Viliam Varga
SAN Lan Freee Backup
Hi, Tivoli Storage Manager: Managed system for SAN Storage Agent User's Guide (v4r1) says: "Lan free data movement shifts the movement of TSM client data from the communications network to a storage area network (SAN). The SAN provides a path that lets Tivoli Storage Manager back up and restore client data directly to and from SAN attached storage. This storage on the SAN is managed by the TSM server and shared between the server and client." Is it possible to do this with TSM server version 3.7? If yes, how can I do this? Thanks. Viliam Varga
