I think it's a matter of considering the Schedmode and the time window to assure that the schedule transition does not involve in any discongruencies. Richard Sims

Try running the following from an OS command prompt: vssadmin list writers How long does that take to run? Next, start dsmc and let it sit. Does it *eventually* start? Let it sit for a long time if needed how long does it take to start up? Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group

seemless migration to new schedule

2008-03-10 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.
I've never done this before and I don't think I've seen it discussed so I'll throw this out there. I was wondering if there are any ramifications when switching nodes to a new backup schedule. Meaning is there a chance that the nodes will be missed? I ask this because I have seen nodes added to a s

A lot of people opt for the transparent encryption scheme where the key is held in the TSM database and it seems that IBM is moving in that direction with this feature being the only option in 5.5 for the BA-client. It seems that I am the only one who wants it the other way around. As I see it

Check to see if you have anything in the dsierror.log. Also look in your Event Viewer for errors. There may be a problem in your dsm.opt file. Johnny >>> "Large, Matthew : Barclays Wealth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/10/2008 9:03 AM >>> Hi ADSMers, I've not seen this kind of problem before - I ha

In the past we had 2 times a similar problem: first time (tsm server on mvs) the ip sequence number did a wrap around and was not properly handled by mvs. (So large restores always stopped at different positions) sencond time (tsm server on nt) we realized that our network backbone did corrupt o

Hi ADSMers, I've not seen this kind of problem before - I have a Win32 client (5.4.1.0) which can ping it's Solaris10 TSM server (5.4.1.2), but fails to connect. Starting dsmc from the command line brings me no prompt, TSM appears to deliver nothing to the screen, or the dsmerror.log. So I ran a

Steven, The technique that Howard described is what many customers do for Data Protection for Exchange as well. For example, you would have multiple node names with different policy settings: EXCSRV33 - for regular daily backups (with management class to keep for 90 days) EXCSRV33_MONTHL

We've been trying to restore a 38 GB file to a Win2003 SP1 server; the restore comes to a near halt at 31.8 GB. At the TSM server side (5.5.0.0) we see 'sendw', and if we leave everything alone the restore continues at an incredibly slow pace (20 MB in 8 hours). On the client side - CPU utiliza

. This is not difficult. 1. Make sure that new data can be written to LTO3, via migration, reclamation, DB Backup, etc. This must work, first. 2. Mark all the LTO2 tapes readonly. 3. Remove all LTO2 scratch tapes, and remove new ones as they are freed. You might need these library slots to accom
