Re: 5.3.2 server
Matt, I didn't see further replies to this so I thought I'd add my experience recently. I have two servers I've been chasing locks/hangs on, mostly related to REPAIR STGVOL. One server would hang up every other day. I waited for a month to get a patch, which was against 5.3.2.4; however, in haste, I went to 5.3.3.0 which disables the automatic execution of REPAIR STGVOL by reclaimation. That server has been stable, without hangs, for 2 weeks. Now, when things are slow/idle, I can manually run REPAIR STGVOL. I get about 100 volumes per hour processed. Eventually it will abort due to some other process holding a lock. When I restart it, it picks up where it left off. I only have 1000 volumes left to go. My other server is still at 5.3.2.3. I will skip to 5.3.3 and manually get the REPAIRs done during known idle times. I have the eFix for 5.3.2.4. It prevents REPAIR STGVOL from running when other processes are running. If you really need the fix, then TSM support could get you to L2 who can hook you up with the eFix, but I would recommend 5.3.3 and manual runs during idle times. Once you're caught up, you really shouldn't have to worry about it for a while since it's repairing orphans created at 5.1.5 through 5.1.7.1 during multithreaded diskpool operations. -Josh On 06.04.03 at 11:38 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 11:38:57 -0400 From: Matthew Glanville [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: 5.3.2 server I'm still having 5.3.2.3 repair volume hanging problems when it repairs offsite volumes during reclaimation.

Re: 5.3.2 server
Andy, That's interesting. Did this level actually fix your problem. We are at 5.3.2.3 and still have the repair stgvol problem. We have on open pmr with them, but supposedly there is still an open apar to address repair stgvol. We had this problem again just yesterday.really a pain because it does not send any errors anywhere...everything just kinda gets hung and waits around for mounts and so forth. Anyway, we are putting some alerts out there to tell us when a repair stgvol kicks off so we can see if it completes successfully or hangs but just curious if your issues went away completely.

5.1 client on 5.3.2 server?
I got some old NT 4 servers that are running 5.1 clients and we are currently running 5.2 server. I know the 5.1 clients are out of support and the customer doesn't plan on upgrading the server anytime soon. My question is will the 5.1 clients run on 5.3.2 server without any issues.

My question is will the 5.1 clients run on 5.3.2 server without any issues. *Generally* speaking, a client at a lower level than a server will work fine. I still have an ADSM 2.1 Unix client, on an old system, working well with our TSM5 server. It is generally where the client exceeds the server where problems can occur - but can usually be avoided by limiting functions to core features. Richard Sims

Alfred, I'm using the latest TSM 5.1.x.y client on Windows NT servers with a TSM server 5.3.2.2 on Windows2003. It works without any issues. regards, Kurt Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager namens Alfred G Welch Verzonden: do 2/23/2006 23:33 Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Onderwerp: [ADSM-L] 5.1 client on 5.3.2 server?
