Solaris 5.9 tape monitoring

Hi all, I would like to do some system monitoring on new TSM server on Solaris 5.9 before put it to production. I tried vmstat, netstat, prstat, and iostat commands directed to logs and all is OK. I am monitoring disks by iostat (by simple disk devices), but I need monitor TSM tape devices (throug

Wanda, you are correct. The copy in the copy pool may be fine, so the backup version isn't really destroyed (assuming the copy in the copy pool is still good). If a primary storage pool volume has damaged files, RESTORE VOLUME can be attempted to restore the volume. If the volume being audited is

Andy, If the volume is audited with FIX=YES, BUT the file has a copy in a copy pool, I don't think it gets deleted, does it? Is it eligible for backup again in that case? Thanks Wanda -Original Message- From: Andrew Raibeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 5:28 PM

Thanks for the explanation Andy - it makes sense. I am doing the auditing with FIX=YES, so we should get another backup. I am hoping this is not a very pervasive problem - I have not hit any other "damaged" files yet. On Thu, 8 Apr 2004, Andrew Raibeck wrote: > Hi Andy, > > When a volume is aud

Hi Andy, When a volume is audited with FIX=NO, damaged files are marked as such, but not deleted. In this case, damaged files are not automatically eligible for backup again just by virtue of being damaged. Consider the possibility that the "damage" could be temporary, such as if the drive on whic
