Tape drives do tend to grow compressed data. I have several storage pools that have most of the tapes full 5-10% lower than the capacity. You may be seeing some of that problem. Also you may be seeing TSM not report the tape is full until after the whole object is written. TSM appears to not

Friends of TSM, I run scripts to compare the number of files and G in my primary pools and copy pools. Sometimes they don't match up. I run an extra backup stg and it says 'no data to copy'. The work around on this is to go through the primary pool volumes and do a Q CON volume COPIED=NO. O

Does it happen every time? What is the size range of the files going to the tape? Is it possible that already compressed files are expanding during an effort to compress them again? If TSM is trying to write a file or aggregate larger than the remaining space on the media, it won't use the remai

Gretchen, you might also try the server option reportretrieve yes (default is no) - I have not tried it in an HSM context but for a restore it gives you file information. Of course it requires a TSM server restart. Joerg - Original Message - From: "Gretchen L. Thiele" Date: Thursday, S

JR, Another method of determining if lan-free is working is to perform a "query mount" on the lan-free client. You can do this from the TSM server console using server to server communications to the client: "storageagentname: q mount" The data being restored must be accessable from the sto

We've been using GPFS-directed HSM for a while now, working quite well (with a few bugs, but they're being worked on). The 'problem' I'm seeing is the mounting of HSM media (tapes, in particular) during the running of an incremental backup. Since we have the requirement that nothing can be migrate
