We currently have two 3494 libraries with 6 3590-H drives in each that have

I've upgraded our AIX TSM server to v5.4 but can't find the v5.4 64 bit AIX
clients. I looked on the ftp site and also on passport advantage and
neither seems to have them. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
We have 1 TSM server that is SAN attached to two 3494 libraries, one
local and one remote although the TSM server sees them both as local since
all data goes through the SAN. All of our TSM clients backup to the local
site and it's 3494 library and thyen during the day, that chunk of data
pinned. This sounds like a bug to me but who knows at this point. I'm
running AIX server v5311 and different levels of clients but most are 5300.

As several people suggested, what is happening
without having to take the whole server down? My recovery log is
filling up again and this hung session is causing the recovery log to be
pinned. Any clues why the session wouldn't ever timeout or also fail to be
cancelled?

I have v5311 AIX server installed. The DB is not in roll forward mode.
There isn't anything that has changed recently that would be causing this.
It seems it might be a bug in v5311 that doesn't let the recovery log
empty as it happens sporadically. Expiration which runs daily is suddenly
taking
I realise there are other threads about this issue but for those of

others) is

How about your reclaim and collocation settings? Are they equal?

We have 2 3494 tape libraries. One is local and the other is remote.
The local one (3494LOCAL) receives all the data from the nightly backups as
it gets migrated from disk. The remote one (3494REMOTE) is only used as the
target of backing up the 3494LOCAL storage pool which gets done
Collocation is on for both the 3494LOCAL and the 3494REMOTE tape libraries.
Sorry. I meant to include that in the original posting.

Collocation on the local storagepools and not-collocation on the remote
ones?

We have 2 3494 tape
Here is the output from that command. It looks pretty similar to me. I also
checked compression for both local and remote libraries. All are on. We
also run a job every night that deletes the dbb volhistory which allows
only 2 days of retention. (del volhist type=dbb todate=today-2)
Here is the output from that command. Looks pretty close on both.

So you have about 2 gig of data that hasn't migrated over. Seems
reasonable.

One of my users is trying to restore a 22 gig MSSQL database using TDP

(the whole DB fits on 1 tape) ,it just sits for usually hours and appears

Any ideas what this could be or what is causing it? I have at least one

Thanks.
I downloaded and read through the IBM TotalStorage Tape Device
Drivers - Installation and Users's Guide and then ran some tests on our
supposedly upgraded 3590J cartridges.
First, I created a 10.1 gig file and then wrote it to the suppsedly
upgraded cartridge with compression turned
We are in the midst of replacing our existing 3590J cartridges with 3590J

libvolumes but until they actually get used, I have no way of even guessing
Steve,
Thanks for your reply. I thought something like this was possible but
had/have no idea how to set it up. Do I need the Tivoli Storage Agent for
this? Unfortunately when IBM shipped the latest base level of TSM, they
forgot to include the Tivoli Storage Agent so I am in the process of trying
Here is our current setup. We have 2 TSM systems. TSM1 which is where all
the TSM clients backup to at night. TSM2 is offsite and only used for
keeping a second copy of the TSM1 data using the BACKUP STGPOOL command.
They are fiber connected like this:
Location 1|
We have 2 systems. TSM1 and TSM2. TSM2 is used solely as an offsite system
to backup our primary tape storage pool on TSM1. When I run reclamation on
the server storage pool on TSM1, the process requests a mount on TSM2 and a
mount on TSM1. It appears to be copying data from the mount on TSM1 to
We currently have 2 TSM servers. TSM1 is where all our clients backup to
nightly. TSM2 is where the backup stg pool command backs up the data from
the previous nights incremental backup. TSM2 is *only* used as a server
storage pool for data from TSM1. It has considerable more tapes than TSM1

We have an AIX client that has an extremely large number of files that is
taking a very long time to go through the inspection process and then fails
backing up because the TSM client is spending all the time allotted,
inspecting and never has enough time to backup the actual files. We've
