Re: DB2 - HADR and TSM

Just use a small script that checks wether the database is in primary mode on the node and launch just then the online backup towards TSM. Then the script can be scheduled on both the primary and standby database server and you've got yourself always a backup independent whether a failover was ini

AIX 5.5.2 client install

This is not correct. Clients can be installed at any given level with no prior client level dependencies. What I think happened here is that the DSM_DIR environment varable got changed and never set back properly. Make sure that you have a symlink for dsmclientV3.cat in your /usr/tivoli/ts

Does migration migrate expired data on volumes?

You are absolutely correct on that statement. Migration (for performance reasons) does NOT reconstruct aggregated bitfiles. Thus expired (or reclaimable space) in the aggregate is not 'reclaimed' at the point of migration. One of the chief reasons for this, other than performance, was the th

ORF (TSM Operational Reporting Facility) and TSM 6.1

There is no support for the ORF for TSM 6.1. If you are unable to move quickly to the ITM reporting and monitoring function which may be quite likely in a transitional 5.5/6.1 environment with several servers in an installation, the 5.5.2.0 ORF can communicate with a 6.1.0.0 server. The reporting a

Re: DB2 - HADR and TSM

Hi Rainer, We use HADR in our SAP environment. I tread both nodes as separate TSM clients. Both nodes have its own node names. You can only backup the primary node of course. When we do failover we point all our SAP clients to the secondary system. I then run a scheduled backup on the secondary no

Re: DB2 - HADR and TSM

Hello Jacques, I was more asking about the ongoing backup procedures if your primary HADR nodes goes down for some reason and the DB2 database(s) is/are continued on your standby HADR node. How do you 'failover/failback' your DB2 backup clients in these situations? DB2 HADR looks like some Softwar

Re: TSM with DiskXtender

Neil, I don't support this today, but I have in the past. Your satisfaction with this solution will entirely depend on the requirements of the application you are protecting, and everyone's expectations. If you intend for the DiskXtender data to reside on TSM tape, you had just bet

TSM with DiskXtender

Is anyone using TSM as a media device for DiskXtender? - If so, would you be willing to share your experience? I am looking at using TSM as a cost effective alternative to adding disk storage to our growing DiskXtender environment. Thank you Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, M

Thanks Richard, that did the trick. Very good detective work and much appreciated. Joerg Pohlmann 250-245-9863

Re: DB2 - HADR and TSM

Hi Rainer, We backup the primary database as per normal with the db2 command to TSM. We do a full online backup everyday and archive logs to TSM as well. Nothing special. Kind Regards, Jacques van den Berg TSM / Storage / SAP Basis Administrator Pick 'n Pay IT Email : jvandenb...@pnp.co.za Te

Re: Delete a storagepool

Hi Hendrik! Thanks for the tip! I'm running the deletes sequentially by using the wait=yes parameter since I encountered these deadlock problems in the past. Kind regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu]

Re: Delete a storagepool

Hi, The benefit from running delete volume from a script outside TSM, where the script starts a new session per volume you delete. Is that you avoid the infamous dead lock you will get when you rapidly delete or create volumes in TSM. //Henrik -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor

Re: Delete a storagepool

Hi Christian! I'm currently deleting the volumes through a macro file. It will probably run for several hours (400+ tapes) but it seems to be the only way. Thanks! Kind regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.maris

SV: Delete a storagepool

Hi Eric, You can always write a script that you run. That how I did it for a customer here in Sweden. I couldn't find the script on my laptop anymore. But it is really easy to write a batch script or just Copy and Paste script. Best Regards Christian Svensson Cell: +46-70-325 1577 E-mail: chris
