5.3 Device class advanced properties

I've noticed a number of selections under the advanced options after creating a devtype for LTO. I am wondering if this should be left as Drive or another selection and if anything should be entered in the estimated volume capacity. Drive Ultrium UltriumC Ultrium2 Ultrium2C Ultrium3

Private/scratch category

Ok, one more dumb question. Is the private and scratch category relevant as it related to a 3584 library and if the library is defined without anything listed in either can it be changed? Through the ISC I don't see that option. Thanks, Geoff Gill TSM Administrator PeopleSoft Sr. Systems

Filelist and subdir=yes

Re: Private/scratch category

Geoff - SCSI libraries, such as the 358x libs, have to be intimately controlled by the host application, in that they have no library manager. These are where the host has to know about all the little pieces in the library via Element numbers. Your 3494 concepts do not apply there. This is the

Re: Drive Inconsistencies

I'm looking for a script or program that collects and summarizes data about how many errors a tape has had and how many errors a tape drive has had. I would expect the data source to be the tsm actlog but TapeAlert might provide additional info. Anyone know of such a program or are we all doing

Re: Filelist and subdir=yes

I don't believe you can. I think if you use -filelist, it must be fully qualified file paths. Ben -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yiannakis Vakis Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 2:36 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Filelist and

Re: Private/scratch category

The 3584 doesn't have that kind of intelligence. The 'library manager' tracks what slot has what tape; everything else is up to TSM -- which also tracks tape number and slot number, but only checks with the library's list when you do an audit library. You specify 'private' or'scratch' status to

load/unload behavior/db backup failure

Well after trying to define everything, correct hopefully, it seems something is wrong. What I have found is that trying to do a db backup causes the load and unload of many tapes which all get set to private. The error in the log is ANR8355E I/O error reading label for volume T1 in drive

Re: load/unload behavior/db backup failure

Hmm, Perhaps the header on the tapes are not correct. Did you do a checkin with the checklabel=yes option so they would be mounted and checked? Perhaps label libvol ... Overwrite=yes might be necessary if the tapes didn't come from the vendor with the right header format.

Re: load/unload behavior/db backup failure

What Checklabel parameter did you use when you checked the tapes in? If you used either No or Barcode, then it might be worth doing a label libvol of one tape and backing up the database to that volume to see if it works. If you used Checklabel=Yes, you could try taking that drive offline and

Re: load/unload behavior/db backup failure

I was in the process of trying to do that but can't seem to remove the tapes. Usually I do a checkout libvol 3584lib tapenumber remove=no. Can this be done in a huge bulk checkout and then labeled and checked in bulk also? I've got 400 tapes so I'd like to run it once if possible, or at least

Re: formatsize and volumes in diskpool

I don't believe anyone has poked at this so I will. If it were something like RAID5, RAID10 RAID0+1, then you can create more volumes per LUN. Heck you can stripe, mirror or even plaid. There has been lots of discussions on here about the many ways to go about that. If

Re: load/unload behavior/db backup failure

I generally do this sort of thing by creating macros with select queries. A select 'checkout libvol 3584lib',volume_name,'checklabel=no remove=no from libvolumes' /output/file should create a quick list for you. Just delete the column heading lined from the file and run the macro from inside

Hi all, My TSM server includes : - TSM 5.2 on Win2K - Autoloader 360716x I have a problem with tape autoloader. I can check hardware Tape Drive Read/Write successfully, but I can move data on tape to hard disk and vice versa. The autoloader only load the tape to drive, but no read or write
