cluster backups

2006-08-16 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.
Would there be any reason that this message would show up in the log of one of the nodes, not the clusternode, when the domain statement says C: D: on node2? Node 1 is not reporting this error. The backup is reporting as failed because of it. I've looked at the dsm.opt files and they are identical

I can't speak to Mac or Linux, but Windows has the shutdown.exe program. So you could easily write a script to launch the client backup, then run shutdown.exe. Trivial example of a hypothetical script called backup_and_shutdown.cmd: cd /d "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient" dsmc i > dsmc.

Power saving and TSM backups

Don't forget if that is the desire that the web gui runs under the local system account (in windows land) and it may have the ability to restore another users file to a different location. So you may not want to use the TSM web client feature on that particular server. Henrik Wahlstedt <[EMAIL

We upgrade from 5.1 to 5.3 earlier this year. It went very well. The upgrade does take some time to convert the TSM db. There is a procedure for cleaning up the Win system objects you will need to run. See the v5.3 readme file and the installation guide. As with any upgrade, I would strongly

We have a script and it does a move data on any tape (primary or copy) that is older then (not read or written in) x days. We are currently using 6 months as our x. This makes sure that offsite tapes do not sit for 7 years also. -- Phillip (901)320-4462 (901)320-4856 FAX -Original Messag

We run AIX/TSM on LPAR's . . . . no problem . . . . no difference. Once the LPAR is up and running with AIX it's just another AIX instance with it's own memory, processor(s) (or fraction processor . . or floating processor), and adapter cards. TSM doesn't know about or care about the fact it's in
