Re: Format of output file using select statements

People here have suggested various ingenious combinations of tail/awk/grep to strip out the garbage, and they work fairly well. But that seems a little Rube Goldbergish, and I'm a little worried that it might break if something in the output changes. I think I already know the answer (No), but

Re: Question about Veritas Cluster and filespace name

You know, there seems to be a similar issue with filespace naming with the new Netware cluster aware client. We're awaiting a server upgrade to pursue it further. Seems as it the 'getservername' API call is at the heart of this. Yes, it seems TSM is not savey of any cluster soloutions except

Question about Veritas Cluster and filespace name

Hi We have a situation with a Veritas cluster installed on two Win2000 servers. The physical servers are called J2P-CLUSTER101 and J2P-CLUSTER102. There is a virtual server defined with the name WEB1. Each physical server has it's own C: drive which is backed up via a schedule that specifies

Question about backup scenario (long)

Hi, I have a few questions about a possible backup scenario. The scenario includes two TSM servers, a firewall and a number of clients placed outside the firewall. The exact configuration is a little more complicated than I describe here, but for the sake of simplicity I will try to describe

Re: Question about backup scenario (long)

Have you thought about having the clients in question being backed up directly to the internal TSM server? It would mean having TCP ports 1500 and 1501 open. Hi Mark That was our first preference (seen from a functionality point of view), however having those ports open from all the clients to

Re: Event Report

Hi Maybe you could use the END_TIME from the SUMMARY table. Something like : select end_time from summary where entity='nodename' and start_time =actual_start_time_from_your_selection_from_events Regards Peter

ODBC access to TSM from VBScript

Has anybody actually had any success in accessing the TSM database from a VBScript piece of code (running as asp in IIS) on a Win2K machine via the ODBC connection ? I have installed the ODBC driver from the TSM 4.2 CD and configured an ODBC datasource with a DSN pointing to the TSM server. I

Re: Bare Metal Restore for TSM

Hi Tony It's true that TSM itself does not have a real BMR capability (what a shame!) and thus it is probably correct when the TSM folks you have spoken to say that they do not 'support' a BMR method, but instead refer you to a description of some procedures to follow if you have to do a BMR on

Re: Question about 3590 tape drives

I observed some strange behaviour of a 3590-E1A tape drive. During a migrate operation from a disk pool to a sequential pool I watched the operator panel. There I could see that the device after a write operation did a locate followed by a read and then resumed writing. I observed this behaviour

Re: Is there a way to delete all files that were backed up last night for certain clients

One way might be to get a list of the object_id's with a SQL statement something like : select object_id from backups where node_name='MYNODE' and backup_date = '2001-09-18 00:00:00.00' or some other selection criteria which may select what you want. Then edit the list to produce a script

Problem with DB2 space reservation in API backup

Hi We are running backup of a DB2 database thru the API interface to our TSM 4.1 server on AIX. We are using compression on the client side, but space is reserved in the disk storage pool on the server for the size of the uncompressed data. This makes the space reservation exceed the available

So adding exclude and include options to the dsm.sys should work according to the manual. I haven't tried it myself, but either the manual is wrong or... you are? Hi Eric Well, we only have our include/exclude entries in the dsm.sys files on our AIX nodes, and that works just fine, so ... Best

Re: 3494 setup on new host server

This weekend I'm moving my ADSM server to a new AIX box and the only part I'm really nervous about is the 3494 library. Can someone point me to a good set of procedures for configuring and setting up this library on a new host? The particular piece that concerns me is that the new host is on a

We want to use both FC ports of the 3590 drives (connected via a FC fabric)in parallel for automatic path fail over. Is this supported by AIX and how could this be implemented in AIX. At the moment I see for the same drive two definitions in AIX. They are both available but they doesn't work in
