TSM is unable to talk to the library controller. Usually this is indicative of a bad tape drive on IBM LTO libraries. You might try power cycling the tape drive with the smc0 path through it (usually drive 1 in frame 1). Other problems could include any component in the communication path to

Anomalous Move Media Behavior

I am puzzled by an anomalous TSM behavior. This is on TSM 5.3.2.3 running on AIX 5.3.0.4. The storage pool is of type NETAPP_DUMP. When I try to move media out of the library, the server reports no match is found, but when I query the same storage pool with the same parameters, there are media

The approach is valid and can reap significant backup/restore time benefits for the clients. Two points: 1) No new licensing cost are involved. TSM is licensed by the environment, not the number of TSM servers. 2) Consider the complexity of

You cannot migrate the data without reducing the MIGDelay value. TSM will fail the backup before violating the MIGDelay specification. So, yes, by lowering the MIGDelay, you can get the oldest data off first. Orville L. Lantto Glasshouse Technologies, Inc. Cell: 952-738-1933
