Re: cancel a session with MediaW
Agreed, I noticed this also Shawn ~Rick -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Shawn Drew Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 10:19 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] cancel a session with MediaW They did change the way this operates after TSM 5.3 although I can't remember precisely which version. It was changed by at least 5.5.2 I've noticed processes finishing much more quickly when I cancel them. For example, if a Migration is working on a big 800GB file and I tried to cancel the process. I would have to wait until it finished that file before. That doesn't happen anymore and the process cancels immediately now. I'm not sure if that directly correlates with this issue as I haven't canceled a mediaW session in a while.
