AW: [ADSM-L] Mixed media in 3494

2010-05-20 Thread Bruno Friess
Hello SAM, as far as I remember, the 3494 has the feature to assign different categories for each media during the checkin process. As example, the 3590 media use a scratch category of 301 (private 300), the 3592-JA a scratch category of 401 (private 400, WORM 402) and 3592-JB a scratch

Force a Exchange Restore

Hi, This is probably a question from Del. My environment is following TSM Server: 6.1.3.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Client Level: 6.1.3.0 and TDP version 6.1.1.0 Exchange version: 2003 with SP2 But is it possible to force a Exchange restore in MS Exchange TDP? When I open the TDP for Exch, then

Christian, It seems the backup may not have completed successfully. There is not enough information here to know the answer. Please open a problem with IBM service. They will be able to examine the TSM Server objects and DP/Exchange trace and tell you for sure. Thanks, Del

Database corruption

2010-05-20 Thread Loon, EJ van - SPLXM
Hi TSM-ers! One of our servers have database corruptions. An audit of a copy of the production database restored on our test environment revealed them. Since we do not know the impact of these errors (can all client data be restored, can I restore all primary volumes in case of a restore stgpool?)

Eric, I ran into a similar problem 2 years ago - Corrupted DB. Fortunately, I had a spare server that I quickly set up and moved all backup operations to that server. It took a few days to run through the DB fixes on the corrupt server. After the DB was fixed, I just did server-server exports

Hi Neil! It may be able to handle the load, but I don't have the storage capacity on the backend on this server. When you direct the backups to the other server, all BA clients basically start all over again with a 'full' backup and I don't have that capacity on the spare server... Thank you very

Back when we had a 3494 with two types of tapes, we controlled who wrote to what by making two separate devclasses. One type of tape was all explicitly defined volumes to one of the devclasses, the other type of tape were used as scratch tapes in the other devclass. David Sheppard, Sam

2010-05-20 Thread Paul Zarnowski
Rather than start with an empty server B, start with a copy of your corrupted database as server B. While you are running the audit on server A, direct your backups to server B. Hopefully the exports you do after the audit on A completes from B back to A will work, without importing any

I think your reasoning is sound and will work. Not sure why you would need to kill housekeeping on the prod server; why not let it continue to run? You'll still want your copypool tapes created for those 4 days of the audit. Depending on your total daily volume, and if you have GIGE network

If you go with the T950 avoid SAIT drives. I'm not sure if SpectraLogic still offers SAIT as an option, but we had all sorts of problems with them. You might also want to go with direct-attached FC drives rather than use the QIPs (SCSI-to-FC bridges for up to four drives) as the QIPs can make

Hi Wanda! You don't want tapes to be reclaimed and you definitely don't want pending tapes to become scratch during the audit on the other system. When I restore the fixed database on the production server, it will otherwise try to reclaim volumes which contain other, newer data. Kind regards,

As of the 6.1 AdminCenter, you can also do the following to Associate a node to a backup schedule. In the navigation tree, click Client Nodes and Backup Sets Locate the node in the table of nodes (filtering can be used) Right-click the node Select Modify Client Node... Select the Schedules tab

My answer would be, it depends. Depends on how much preparation you do ahead of time. Depends on if you are staying on the same box or moving to a new box. Depends on the size of the box. A couple different variables could change the total time. I just upgraded a 5.5 TSM server on AIX
