SAP Database Stop/Start Script

Dear All, I am facing problem in executing below script thro' tsm client scheduler in background mode. if we start the scheduler service in forground by executing dsmc scheule, the scripts works fine. However using nohup dsmc schedule 2 /dev/null it fails to execute. Our TSM server is on

Re: MAXNUMMP

Set the MAXNUMMP to the number of drives you are willing to have this node monopolize. If you don't care that this node could grab all of the drives in your library and leave everything else out in the cold, knock yourself out. If you want to force reasonability on your DBA's, set it to a lower

Re: SAP Database Stop/Start Script

Without details from the failure, we can't do much to advise: fails to execute provides us with no information. Delve into your dsmerror.log to look for any possible info there. Also, whereas you are using nohup, you should have a nohup.out file to examine. Lastly, don't throw away potential

TSM for SAN 5.3.

Dear List, I installed TSM Extended Edition 5.3 on Windows 2003 Server, and I have 18 AIX 5.3 Servers and 10 Windows 2003 Server. All are the systems connected through SAN. I have IBM Total Storage 3584 Tape Library with 8 LTO Drives. I have some queries; please can

Re: Why doesn't the TSM client support transparent encryption

Transparent encryption is not currently supported for the BA Client. It's not quite as simple to support transparent encryption for the BA Client as it is for the TSM API due to the no query restore functionality of the BA Client. Transparent encryption for the BA Client is a known requirement.

Re: MAXNUMMP

Well, I'd say that seems to be what is causing your intermittent failures then. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet approach to fix this situation -- it requires cooperation of all the admins involved (TSM, DBA, Unix, applications), and the TSM admin has the responsibility to educate all

Re: Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Selectives

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Because the new GM data retention policy calls for true full backups I've elected to use Selective backups to be scheduled in a weekly, monthly, and yearly fashion. To make matters worse this is for a cluster server so I created separate client scheduler,

Re: Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Selectives

Instead of using a SELECTIVE backup which you need to specify what to backup, just change the management class(es) used for the weekly/monthly/yearly backups to MODE=ABSOLUTE. Then you backup schedules are just INCREMENTAL using the existing DOMAIN, but actually FULL backups each time. You also

drivers for TSM installation in red hat 4

HI, I´m going to install TSM in red hat 4, and I´ll connect a Sun Storedge L1000 device to that server. Do you know where I could found drivers for Storedge L1000 for that Red Hat distribution?. I´ve searched in Sun web page but I couldn´t found them, now I´m looking for them in

Re: MAXNUMMP

Sorry for the long-winded response, I was on a roll! Hope it helps... This is exactly what I needed. I was considering putting the Oracle TDP backups to disk (though we're tight on disk space). I didn't realize that they wouldn't go down the storage hierarchy, though. Thanks for the

Restore single file from image backup

All, I've been waiting for Tivoli to provide individual file restores from an image backup in Windows. According to the latest 5.3.4 BA client it is still not an option. Andy, can you confirm? Thanks, Brian Brian Scott EDS Global Client Engineering-GM MS 3234 4594 W Nancy Dr. Kankakee, IL

ZFS filesystems on Solaris

Is there any particular reason that normal, scheduled backup processing of a Solaris system, completely ignores ZFS filesystems ? The client is 5.3.3.0 and I have suggested to the owner of the system to update to 5.3.4.4. Searched on IBM result in nothing but references to zFS on USS/Unix.

How to determine primary pool volumes required for a copy pool volume?

The scenario is I have a copy pool tape that was accidently damaged. I would like to know which primary pool tapes I would need to recreate this copypool tape. The first obvious way is to run a backup stgpool preview=yes command however that will ALSO show other volumes out of sync and doesn't

Re: ZFS filesystems on Solaris

Hello Zoltan, I suspect that the TSM folks have not finished testing zfs, there may be boundary conditions that might have problems. One feature that you most likely are not using, and I suspect will not work, is to try backing up files with the new acl's (the same as nfs version 4) and see

Sepaton question

Hello, I'm interested in finding out from those people who are using Sepaton systems for their TSM backups, what kind of nightly volume do you write to it? I have the specs from the company regarding what it supports; what I'm interested in is how it holds up in the real world under heavy write

3584 library sharing followup

migrate 32bit database - 64bit TSM server?

We run TSM 5.3.1 32bit on windows 2000 32bit Server. We are considering moving to TSM 5.3.3 64bit on RedHat Enterprise Linux v4 AS x64. Is it possible to migrate the database from 32bit server to 64bit server? Anyone done it before and had it work? Thanks, Alex

Opt file question

exclude question

I don't understand why a client running this version of TSM would show an entry in the activity log that says this was in use and skipped when it shows it to be excluded by TSM. I see a number of clients showing this same thing. Dsmc query inclexcl shows this. Excl Directory C:\adsm.sys
