A filesystem on a tsm node contained a lot of different init.dat files
(all erased).
Is it possible to make a query in the tsm database to find out where these
files are positioned in the filesystem - some kind of select command?
Med venlig hilsen / Regards

Hi Henrik,
Try something simple, like:
select NODE_NAME, FILESPACE_NAME, FILE_NAME, FILE_SIZE from CONTENTS
where FILE_NAME like '% init.dat'
This should find all instances of 'init.dat' whether backups or archives.
I'm sure you could probably format this better, but the bare bones are
select hl_name from backups where node_name='X' and filespace_name='\\X\c$' and
ll_name='init.dat'

Hi,
I seem to have a problem with some of my 'copystoragepool' tapes.
Whenever i check out these tapes, I update the volumes as access=offsite,
but it seems that when the original tape expires, they do not. See below for
an example. SA2_006 already has 0.0% Pct Util and has a volume
Hi,
did you perform an UPD VOL SA2_006 ACC=READWR
after this it should be deleted from the stg pool and return to scratch

Here is a link to a posting by Wanda Prather to this list made about a
year ago. It describes a manual process of doing a Bare Metal Restore
for Win2k Professional:

The Kernel Group has a commercial product called Bare Metal Restore
With TDP for Exchange V 2.2 it is supported and it works !!!
We have restored data from an Exchange/2000 server to another Exchange/2000 server with
another name.
The trick is to specify the TSM-nodename of the FROM-server when you restore on the
TO-server.
For instance:
tdpexcc restore
Did you try setting up an isolated system with the same system name? Or
hard coding the nodename in the dsm.opt file.
Your system name may have to be the same, do you may have to isolate the
environment (a test lab or something).

Hi,
Depends how many clients you have I guess - if you're backing up one or two
clients then I couldn't agree more, but if you're looking after SP's then
the gui approach might not be so appropriate. But hey, each to their own!!!

Do sessions really lock volumes?
I had always assumed they didn't. Disk volumes are random access, so for
some reason I thought that several sessions could share one disk volume. In
fact, I know of one site that regularly has 45-50 backup sessions running
simultaneously, but only 37 disk
Lindsay,
The locked volume is my understanding based on what I've observed and
picked up from the list and the manuals. If that is wrong, I apologize.
My set of 500 MB volumes is spread across six physical disks so I do get
some load balancing.
I think my system is network-bound anyway. The
Actually, if you do a
select colname, index_keyseq from syscat.columns where tabname='BACKUPS'
you'll find that columns are indexed like so:
NODE_NAME 1
FILESPACE_NAME2
STATE 3
TYPE 4
HL_NAME
Locking is usually done for as little time as possible, so even if multiple
sessions are sharing a volume, I don't think that's a really bad
thing. Presumably TSM follows the goal of minimal locking as well. I'm
guessing that by having more smaller volumes, you may be avoiding some TSM
locking
1) there is no need to have multiple ADSM volumes, one big volume fine.
One big volume means one big processing thread, which sacrifices
parallelism, impairing performance.
Richard Sims, BU
Yes, easily.
Just create the new policy domain.
Then update the node(s) to specify the new domain.
However, it won't cause ANY data movement.
Any old data stays where it sits.
Any NEWLY ARRIVING data will be bound to the management class in the new
domain.

Our NT admins did just that by doing an archive followed by a retrieve.
They were moving to a new machine. You could also do it with backups,
