Good morning everyone. I have been asked to look into possibly moving our TSM 4.1.3 server on OS/390 to an AIX box. I would appreciate any information that you can provide. Here is our existing OS/390 TSM server set up. TSM 4.1.3 on OS/390 2.10 backing up the following clients AIX, NT,

Yes, you are right. I thought about it after I pressed SEND. I guess I had a case of the galloping dumbs. However, further research shows the numbers are still screwy. Yes, three migration processes started (18, 19,20). Here are the rest of the numbers. ANR1001I,Migration process 18 ended

You aren't alone ! If you are like here, things seem to be code blue and/but I believe code blue has been out there for a year. (this is just some of the stuff I've heard) You could probably use your sched.log to get a list of what was backed up, then use it to build delete statements/commands

You can define a management class with verexists=1 verdeleted=0 retonly=0, and temporarly point to the no retention class using include-exclude. Run another backup to bind the files, then delete them from the source and run another backup to expire them. (This will also delete your inactive

Re: TSM on AIX question.

I'll take a 'best guess'... The area where you should concentrate more resources is on the I/O capacity of the server. It looks like you have six (database, log and four disk storage pools) 'chunks' of disk to configure, not to mention the adapters to connect to the STK and the ethernet

Re: Is there a way to delete all files that were backed up last night for certain clients

One way might be to get a list of the object_id's with a SQL statement something like : select object_id from backups where node_name='MYNODE' and backup_date = '2001-09-18 00:00:00.00' or some other selection criteria which may select what you want. Then edit the list to produce a script

Re: TSM on AIX question.

Brian, If you considering just migration from OS/390 to AIX box, then you need same resources but if you want new platform to cut backup and restore times then you need more communication channels from server to library and faster DASD storage. If you design 4 channels(FC/SCSI) from server to

Hi Rick, I'll take a stab at some of your questions - Your method would work IF you're willing to remove all of the backups after your point in time (assuming rollforward). For some, that's too much to lose. If expiration, migration, etc... have not run - life is dandy. The Admin Guide may

Hi Rick, TSM does provide a way to make sure the tape matches the DB, even when you restore the DB to a back level. (Or rather, it makes sure the backups that should be there, are there.) It's the REUSEDELAY parameter on the storage pools. If you set the REUSEDELAY option to 5, tapes that

It's not realy deleting, but more expiring. Replace the file with a fake file, jl. 0 bytes, it's impossible that a 0 byte file contains a virus. Backup the file absolute and repeat it until you pass the policies. If you usualy save 3 versions, backup the 0 byte file _absolute_ 4 times. Expire
