Reading client data from a storage pool tape.

2005-02-18 Thread McClean, Frank
The only way to read client data from a tape is to set-up another TSM server, and restore the database from your current TSM server onto it. You would then be able to access the data on the tape, it cannot be done without TSM. I have heard this several times. Where in the IBM TSM documentation

Let me rephrase the question. If you dump the data off of the tape, what do you see. Frank McClean ITSB SSU (916)795-1353 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Raibeck Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 11:16 AM

This is exactly the information I need for the Auditor. Is this spelled out in any formal IBM TSM documentation? Thanks, Frank McClean ITSB SSU (916)795-1353 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Raibeck Sent:

The auditor would like a published statement from IBM TSM that says something like: The TSM data is written in a proprietary format which prevents a tape utility; such as 'ditto', 'Iebcopy', etc., from being able to read any of the client information. Thank you for your help and patience. Frank

One way is to set the parameter Disablescheds to 'yes' in the dsmserv.opt file before restarting the TSM server. Frank Frank McClean [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Taylor, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 9:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Disable sessions - server command

Hopefully this is an easy one. Does the server command "disable sessions" carry across the server halt and restart, or does it have to be reentered after the restart? Thanks, Frank Frank McClean [EMAIL PROTECTED] 916.658.1353

Thank you Richard, I'll start looking into these possible causes for the problem. And I guess I'll also have to come up with a way to monitor for this problem outside of TSM and the 3494. Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions. Frank, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 916.658.1353

Thank you for the replies. The main thing I am trying to prevent is the cancellation of the job because of the failure of TSM to recognize that repeated mounts of a bad tape is not going to make the tape "all better" and usable. The failure of the job to complete has a domino affect on subsequent
