Ang: ANR0361E Database initialization failed

2010-09-08 Thread Daniel Sparrman

2010-09-08 Thread Loy, Mark W
OK, I hate to admit this but when purchasing 3592JB media, the question is always asked, Do you want them initialized? What exactly does initialized mean as far as 3592JB cartridges are concerned and why would I want or not want them initialized? I've searched online and cannot seem to find an

Short answer: ordering them initialized means you don't have to write the internal label when you get them (label libv). Long answer: TSM requires a standard IBM tape (internal) label to be written at the beginning of the tape before they are used the first time. If you order the tapes

Re: 3592 JB Tapes Initialized or Not?

Based upon communal experience: Don't trust a tape vendor to properly initialize tapes. We've experienced situations where we depended upon the vendor having done so, when in fact they did not. And I would not want my very expensive new tapes being subjected to unknown equipment handling at

I'm looking for recommendations experiences on TSM SSL. There is interest from our security group here in enabling SSL for TSM sessions. Naturally, the easiest plan for the security folks would be to just enable it for everything. There is guidance in the IBM documentation to only use it

Re: TDP for Exchange single mailbox restore failure

2010-09-08 Thread Storer, Raymond
Can you mount the database? If so, perhaps you could perform some queries on the database to confirm the mailbox is there. If it is there, see if you can convince Exchange to move/restore it to another database. I have not tried to restore an email account to a child domain. When backed up,

Are you sure nothing else was possibly using that raw volume? Wondering if this is the only instance of TSM on this server? I know in my past experience with SUN systems that you can mistakenly grab raw volumes like this that may have been in use by something else. Do you have a q dbv, q logv,
