Re: Client Data Lost after client re-installation

Your filespace queries show that you definitely have filespaces in
TSM server storage.  If you now perform 'dsmc query backup -
subdir=yes -inactive /usr3/' AS ROOT, that will report all the files
out that exist in TSM server storage for that file system.  (I would
advise not using the GUI for assured verification queries like
this.)  You might additionally go to the TSM server and perform Query
OCCupancy to further check inventory numbers, and to look for
anomalies involving the node in the Activity Log (as in ANE backup
summary messages reflecting outrageous "objects expired" numbers, or
unusually high Expire Inventory result numbers).

Subject: Client Data Lost after client re-installation

 

 

Hello all,

 

After client node system disk failure the system administrator change the 
failure disk, install the OS and makes a manual backup of the client (same node 
name and IP as before).

 

Now, I search for old data (before disk failure), and no data were found.

 

An expire inventory were made after the backup ... I think that the inactive 
files should be shown. Backup copy Group for backup: Version Data Deleted =3 ; 
Retain only Version  = 360 days.

 

I try the option "show active and inactive files" and point in time" options on 
the client, but no old data were found (only the data of the manual backup made 
after node disk failure)

 

Any idea what can be the problem? TSM Node ID? 

 

Any suggestion to solve this problem and return the old files?

 

 

Thank you for your help

 

Best Regards

Tiago

When posting, provide basic information such as platform type.
If this was Windows, perhaps the disk letter changed.
Is your client options file exactly the same as before?
Perform 'dsmc query filespace' as your starting point toward checking
what's in TSM server storage.
