Re: Measuring progress of copy stgpool operation

This is a specific requirement of a more general topic: since TSM know what it is doing, it can certainly tell us. I would ask development to give us some dashboard information about lots of things that go on within. Other items I can think of: during a restore, how many objects left to restore.

Quickie: can BACKUP STGPOOL be preempted by a client restore?

Hi everybody, In the TSM Administrative Guide the preemption of processes is described. When a BACKUP STGPOOL process is running, can it be preempted (both for a volume or a mountpoint) by a client restore? The Administrative Guide says the (among others) Backup, archive, or HSM migration can be

migration ADSM/TSM again

Hi, I have to migrate from ADSM 4.3.3 to TSM 4.2 in AIX 4.3.3 with a 3494 robot. Is there some tips or documentations about this procedure ? Actually, I have to write some script as well in order to migrate data and ejection/injection. Thanks for information. Serge

Re: Quickie: can BACKUP STGPOOL be preempted by a client restore?

Hi Jurjen, High priority processes, concerning mount points, are db backup, client backup, client restore, so yes, a backup stgpool job can be preempted by any of the above processes. Cheers. Arnaud =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Arnaud Brion, Panalpina Management

Re: Quickie: can BACKUP STGPOOL be preempted by a client restore?

From my experience, yes it can. One minor nit; TSM doesn't always pick the most sensible process to cancel. I've seen instances where TSM has cancelled the BACKUP STGPOOL process that's just started a 40 GB file, and of course the process must finish the file before going away... Cheers, -- Paul

Re: audit library

We had our 3494 library with two 3590 drives installed two years ago, and for the first six months we were seeing failed drives at least twice a week. In the end, it turned out that 3590 drives in a library need these extra little things called 'locking clips' or something to hold the tapes steady

Re: Betr.: Re: Erasing recovery log volumes

You could also backup db, which should commit recovery log to database, thus emptying out the log. Another way (if you have additional diskspace somewhere else), is to create another log volume the other place, at least the same size as the current, and after it is finished creating the new

Trying new option to simultaneously write to backup and offsite copy pool

Hi, Last night I tried to use the new feature allowing me to copy to an offsite copy pool at the same time I did backups. One of my servers had 2 files fail to backup - and this caused my offsite copy to fail. Does anyone know why this is true? I hate the way a backup is deemed failed

Re: filespace no longer backed up because mount or drive is gone

Others can correct me if I am wrong. Extra versions (inactive) are still controlled by the management class. The final active versions are kept forever. TSM does not know if they were deleted or the filespace went bad for some reason. Thus one has to hand delete them from TSM if they are not
