Migration

Hi all, today I have a question dealing with migration : I have one disk-storage-pool that is filled up during the night by several clients. When it reaches the High-Mig-Pct, the Migration starts with up to three jobs going to tape. Backups havent finished at that time and suddenly the

I will be out of the office starting 12/21/2001 and will not return until 12/26/2001. I will respond to your message as soon as I return.

Antwort: Migration

It could be, that the available FREE space in the diskpool at this time is smaller, than the size of the file your client want to send to the server This could be the reason, why the server directs the data directly to tape... -- Gerhard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Christoph Pilgram) am

Urgent - Problem with importing node/policy

Hi everyone Is it possible to successfully import node / import policies into a version 3.7 TSM server when the nodes and policies were exported from a 4.1 server?? If it makes any difference the exporting client is 64 bit. We run into (invalid record format) errors when trying this . Thanks

Re: Migration

There is an algorythm in backup that detects when the primary storage pool (disk) gets busy. if this pool is too busy the backup client will spill over to the next pool. tape Christoph Pilgram [EMAIL PROTECTED] @VM.MARIST.EDU on 12/21/2001 05:12:08 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor

TSM Crashing

Is there a known bug in TSM 4.1.0 (AIX) We have been running since February, but all of a sudden the last few days my TSM server keeps crashing. It has crashed the last three days and five of the last seven. It has come at different times of the day and I can't seem to find a

We had problems like this, that seemed to have no common thread, until we realized that expiration was running at each incident. It was suggested that we upgrade to 4.1.4.4, and we have been fine since (it also fixed a 9840 tape drive dismount problem). Andy Carlson

Greetings! We are hoping to upgrade from TSM 4.1 to 4.2 quite soon and today I have started looking at 4.2.1.9 fairly seriously. One major behaviour that seems different from 4.1 (and before) is that if there is not one/more tape drives available then processes like BACKUP STG, MOVE DATA, AUDIT

TDP for exchange vs Veritas hot backups

I find this is the hardest thing to sell among potential customers who are considering both platforms (TSM vs Veritas). The reason tends to be that Veritas's hotbackup solution will do a higher level of granularity in restores - something companies in our experience definetly prefer. Being able

Tapes and recycle

I have been working with TSM to make backups of my servers. The TSM server is in Windows NT. It works with tapes too. The TSM makes backups and keep it in hard disk, after this sends the data to tapes. TSM uses the tape to write the backup and after this needs more tapes. But the old data stays

I'm pretty sure this device uses ADSMSCSI/TSMSCSI so you do not want Win2K to install any other drivers. Make sure the TSM Device Driver is started in the TSM Server Utilities window and you should be good to go. In the Utilities window that shows the devices you should see a lby.1.0.0.x and

Re: TDP for exchange vs Veritas hot backups

That article is certainly a good read. But what I got out of it was that deleted item retention is also fairly useless. If a mailbox is deleted at all (via accident by an admin or on purpose because an employee left), it is painful to restore it (restore entire server to a separate box method).
