I didn't read, thoroughly, the original note, but my two cents is to remember the KISS principal when configuring these things: Keep It Simple Stewpid. Always leave the Standard domain behind. That way you can use open registration. Kelly Lipp CTO, VP Manufacturing STORServer, Inc. 485-B E

I agree with Paul. There are 2 technical reasons to split clients into domains: 1) Dividing authority: you can create TSM administrators with "Policy" or domain-level authority. They don't have the ability to modify TSM storage pools or devices, but they can create nodes, passwords, and schedul

I inherited two TSM servers whose Policy Domains were named for client operating systems (AIX and NT) and the enterprise database (Oracle). When the TSM servers were originally built they were used exclusively to backup clients belonging to the technical team that maintained TSM. So, those Policy

Hi TSM'ers, A colleague has asked me to post; How would you explain the fact that running dsmadmc -console has a neligible impact on server performance, given that the explanation 'It just a very simple session that is essentially echoing text out to an admin client' is not good enough? Explain

I was incorrect in regards to the RMAN catalog. In our case the catalog still exists, however the backups are past our recovery time. Here are the notes our dba provided... "Backups past our recovery time. "Orphaned" backups; rman can't "see" them. Still in recovery catalog. diff.db key and still

Hi, you have to skip the "extend db", otherwise you cannot remove the old volumes. Just create the volumes for the new DB location, then make TSM remove the old ones. Data will get copied to the new volumes. When you've completed the remove procedure, you can extend the db (if DB is larger n

no, the volumes you are migrating to do not have to match in size. -just create new ones. do an extend db so they are in play, and begin removing the old ones and tsm will auto migrate the pages to the new volumes. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/14/2007 11:17 AM >>> Thedownside to this solution is th

Thedownside to this solution is that the new volumes have to match in size to the old volumes - may not be a problem, but if you wanted to take this chance to change the layout and size of the volumes, this solution would not work. On 8/13/07, Wojtek Pięcek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Another s

Kelly, I'm using TS1120 drives and wrestled with the same issues. I ended up using system encryption with the EKM because: 1. It provides the greatest level of granularity - Individual tape drives and volumes may be designated for encryption 2. TSM is oblivious to this type of encryption thus

You can use the TDPO utility tdposync to get rid of backups in TSM that RMAN no longer knows. "The tdposync utility checks for items on the Tivoli Storage Manager server that are not in the RMAN catalog. This utility allows you to repair such discrepancies between the Tivoli Storage Manager serv
