TSM 3.7 Sun Sol Server error

Hi All, We are using TSM 3.7 Server on Sun Solaris server (Ultra 60) with AIT2 tapes in QualStar 4440 library. I got the failed installation process (on the mt drive definition point : add_drv ). The error was : the mt drive was successfully added to system but failed to attach. As result of this

Yes, I have one customer using the TSM 3.7 (ADSM in the past) on NT 4.0 SP5 with the same problem on QualStar TLS 4440 library(40 cartridges + 2 drives). The resolve was to fix TSM 3.7.0.0 to 3.7.3.0. In 3.7.3.0 configuration the server work fine without freezing and offline tapes.

Jack, I keep our primary tape storage pools at 50%. I can always drop them lower if necessary - that is my "margin." We run expiration weekly to avoid the reclamation that would be caused by the threshold being lower than 100%. During the weekly maintenance I drop the threshold on off-site cop

I hope you don't have it set to 60% all the time. But actually change it from 100 down to 60 when *you* want it to happen! And are you referring to onsite-Tapepool or offsite-Copypool? I manage mine entirely differently. :-) I set onsite-Tapepool to the next available (highest) tape rec number u

Re: Reclamation Threshold

That depends on the installation. Do you have enough scratch tapes to comfortably get the job done? If not, you must reclaim tapes. The answer really depends on the environment you find yourself involved with. John G. Talafous Sr. Tech. Prog/Anal The Timken Company

Reclamation Threshold

I am curious as to what you all set your reclamation thresholds at. Mine are currently holding at 60% and at some sites I have the time to bring it down even further. Is it worth it to do so? When does it become a waste of time? I just hate knowing that there are tapes out there that are half

very large file_size causes single drive reclamation to loop

I have found that single drive reclamation can get into a loop when a file is encountered that is larger than the interim storage pool. For example, tape reclamation writes the contents of reclaimable tapes to a sequential volume on disk. If the contents of the tape is a fragment of a file that is
