Robert, I believe that field takes the value of the last type of "client" that connected. The scheduler is considered "WinNT", so if the last communication for that node was a scheduler service, then it will show WinNT. I would run a Data Protection for SQL command, then check the field. Thanks,

Re: Question about mirrored DB volumes

2005-05-27 Thread Roger Deschner
Shouldn't be a problem, as long as you continue to use TSM mirroring for all parts of it. There have been lively debates as to whether TSM mirroring, OS mirroring, or hardware/microcode RAID is best for the database. Some combinations are known to be dangerous for data integrity - OS mirroring on

Yes, I looked it up on the IBM site. For my reading, if full backups are done on each of the databses on each of the nodes, and the previous instances are deleted, it will accomplish the same result. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/27/2005 11:53:49 AM >>> Richard is correct. These are documented in the

Richard is correct. These are documented in the IBM knowledge base. The best and easiest thing to do is to change the nodename of your Data Protection for SQL clients and start with new filespaces with no pre-existing objects. Make sure your management classes are set up correctly and the INCLUDE s

2005-05-27 Thread Richard Sims
Bill - Your tracking of tape problems is just the right thing to do, to determine if a tape is really troublesome. A new tape, being fully used for the first time, may exhibit problems as usage effectively unwinds it for the first time, and abrades its surface. Irregularities in winding go

We use the TSM Operational Reporter to report on any tapealert messages( MSGNO=8948,8949,8950,8951) and and I/O errors (MSGNO=1401,8943,8381) and analyse the errors. If it's a tape problem, normally we MOVE DATA and let it go ack to scratch. If we get another errorout it goes! If it's a read

What I generally do is watch for drive errors and the tapes that cause it. If the same drive is causing errors I assume the drive is going. Each time I receive a tape error I document the date and tape, audit the tape, if errors exist I move the data off and make it a scratch tape, otherwise I set

When Good Tapes Go Bad

How do you go about determining that a tape is bad and needs to be thrown replaced? The way I do it is to keep track of any tapes that have been set to read-only due to an error (q act msg=1411). When I see one, I mark it read-write and keep track of it. When the same tape gets set to read-only
