There is a similar problem which is a combination of CACHE on a disk storage pool, COMPRESSION, and uncompressible files. If tsm client wants to back up a 500MB file, it will estimate a compression rate, say 50% for the sake of argument, and requisition 250MB from the first storage pool. If

TSM Server LAN-FREE as load balancing?

HiI all. After looking at TSM 5.3, it seems a tidy new feature is the ability to use a Storage Agent as a 'proxy' to tsm. You can now perform a LAN based backup to a storage agent, which can then assign drives and write to tape.. This leads me to believe, assuming you dont use much in the

FYI, the 'y+2dots' (y-umlaut) is usually the windows font character 0xFF. This probably doesn't help, but usually indicates bad programming (unterminated strings for example) rather than actual filenames. If TSM is reporting y-umlauts instead of filenames, consider upgrading to the next patch
