LAN-Free backup: TSM server mounts tape in not-mapped drives

2002-06-21 Thread Jörg Nouvertné
this drive is not defined to this server (ANR8940E). This causes some transactions to fail due to the delay (storage media inaccessible). Anyone, who can help me with this? Best regards, Jörg Nouvertné http://home.wtal.de/the_swordsman/

Hi Nazir, to backup non-Domino database files (e.g. Domino program files) you do require a regular backup client. Only Domino databases and the TXN files are covered by the TDP. Best regards, Jörg > -Original Message- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf

Hi Long, if you try to reclaim a copypool, it might happen that due to the unavailability of a primary tape, that whole reclamation fails immediately, and almost all tapes are never being reclaimed. I had to struggle with this quiet some time. Look for ANR1259W in the actlog. Best regards, Joer

2001-10-24 Thread Jörg Nouvertné
That's correct as long as you install the Storage Agent on the client, which "borrows" a drive from the TSM server and send only the management info through the LAN. Therefore you needs the (expensive) STA license and to my knowledge the library sharing option. We used it once but had to disable

Hello, we had some trouble seeing the 3584 library when attached to a SAN. But I've recognized in our configuration (lsdev -Cctape), that the LUN between drive 1 and drive 2 wasn't in use. Therefore I defined it manually into the "hole" and it worked. By the way: You'll find the right device unde

Hi Chris, I just experience the same issue with LTO drives/tapes, sporadically when backing up over the LAN, and excessive when backin up LAN-free over the SAN. I've opened a PMR with Tivoli, but in my optinion, this is a software issue, although I cannot say which software. It's either the LTO

Hello, I asked someone of Tivoli about possible causes, and it seems that (if the log usually behaves normal and is sized suffeciently) most likely long term backups prevent log entries of completed transactions from being cleared. It's the way, the log is strucuterd. The next time this happens,

Hello, although there might be some dirty tricks, to force a backup to write to a specific tape, I don't see any reason to do this. One great advantage of *SM is, that (from the client perspective) you don't have to care about the storage media anymore. *SM makes sure (when properly configured, o

ng the feedback, and after the modules passed the tests, I'll register the TSM namespace at CPAN. As the next steps, I can imagine to collect scripts or code fragments based on this module on my homepage. Volunteers are welcome. Best regards, Jörg Nouvertné http://home.wtal.de/the_swordsman
