You report MediaW - but you need to pursue that in detail to see whether it is waiting on a tape or a drive. Might it be the case that the drive with the problem has the needed tape stuck in it, for example? In issuing a 'Query SEssion' command, be sure to use Format=Detail to get the whole story. You can also issue 'SHow LIBRary' to get more physical info about the state of library and drives, if necessary. Sometimes it is necessary to visually inspect drives to see what's going on.

Re: TDPSQL restore - MediaW
Not sure if this applies to you or not, but we ran into the same type of problem trying to do a multi-session restore using tdp-sql. The details are a bit fuzzy since it has been a while, but the problem was caused by multiple restore streams looking for the same media. When we ran a single restore stream we did not have the problem. Others may have more detailed insight on how to configure tdp to allow problem-free multi-session restores, but we simply decided to opt for single streams. -Original Message- From: Yiannakis Vakis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 5:10 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: TDPSQL restore - MediaW Hi, I'm on TSM server v.5.2 Win2000, TSM TDP for SQL client v.5.2 Win2000 I've done TDPSQL restores in the past successfully, but now I've got a strange problem.

Re: TDPSQL restore - MediaW
If you want to perform multi-session (STRIPES) backup and restore, you should set COLLOCATION by filespace turned on so when the data is migrated or sent to tape, the striped data will remain on separate tapes. This is discussed in the User's Guide.
