Sorry for being late with this. Disable session and starting the server with nomigrrecl (TSM instance has to be restarted) usually works. Can be a pain in the ... in a large Library manager/Library client environment to get the appropriate downtime for the Library for all library clients. DonĀ“t

Zoltan, Yes, we were changing the target. The test retrievals were also almost always to a different target than the source. Thanks On 9/26/2010 8:51 PM, Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU wrote: Were you renaming/changing the target of the restore? - Original Message - From: Timothy Hughes

Re: Need to understand TSM restoration concept.

Cc, An important consideration in restoring a file is understanding the retention settings of a copygroup and the distinction that two settings affect HOW MANY copies of a file are kept after they change or are deleted and two settings affect HOW LONG files are kept after they are changed or

Opinion on disk layout for db, log storagepools

2010-09-27 Thread Moyer, Joni M
Hi Everyone, I am in the process of acquiring new disk which means that I will be able to layout the storage for the database, log and storage pools in a more efficient manner. I was told by IBM that a filesystem should contain no more than 2-3 volumes and there should be a 1 to 1 ratio of

Re: Opinion on disk layout for db, log storagepools

I would principally follow IBM's recommendations as put forth in the TSM Performance Tuning Guide. You seem to be running AIX, where putting volumes into a file system is the inferior approach to raw logical volumes (which I use, and have found satisfying). Richard Sims

You didn't say whether this was for a v5 or a v6 server. It makes a difference. On the v6 side, I think that IBM has recently been refining their recommendations. ..Paul At 11:20 AM 9/27/2010, Moyer, Joni M wrote: Hi Everyone, I am in the process of acquiring new disk which means that I

I'm doing this work right now for a big project here. My first endeavor into Linux. The lin_tape drivers for 6.2 will require a .rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d (or wherever your udev stuff lives) mainly because of the instance owner/group requirements to run 6.2 dsmserv processes. Unless

I was hoping not to have the opportunity to test this so soon, but library problems do happen in clusters... As it turns out, NOMIGRRECL did the trick. Thanks! On 09/27/2010 01:46 AM, Markus Engelhard wrote: Sorry for being late with this. Disable session and starting the server with

Do you know what your workload is going to be? For database sizing, you need to know how many files total you will retain. For storage pool sizing, you need to know your average and peak daily backup rates in bytes. For recovery log sizing, you need to know how many files you will backup in a

Hi Guys, I have plans to upgrade my TSM server from 5.4 version to 5.5. Please share your views about this version upgrade and which is the optimal level I should upgrade to (i.e. 5.5.x.x). I am doing this upgrade as we have future plans to move to 6.2 version. My current TSM
