DSM_LOG setting on RedHat 64 bit

Hi, I am trying to use the dsmc client as a normal user, but it will not use the DSM_LOG env var to create the errorlog into an area into which I can write, it keeps trying to use the default one owned by root. I found this note from IBM: "Setting the DSM_LOG environment variable on Linux86 does

Re: Selective backup of directories that are mounted file systems

Hi, To answer my own question , I could specify more than pathname in the "selective" command. But what I am doing here is a cold database backup and I have more than one db to deal with and I did not want to have customized scripts to deal with each database, just because some of the sub-directo

Selective backup of directories that are mounted file systems

Hi, TSM 5.3 I am doing a selective backup like this: dsmc selective /data/XX/ -optfile=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmnotdp.opt -subdir=yes but some of the "directories" under /data/XX are mounted file systems and they do not get backed up. This is the documented behaviour of the -subdir opt

Monitoring a clients backup progress

Hi, I am running the dsmc 5.2 client on Solaris. From a client's point of view is there a way to monitor the progress of a backup to get some idea of how complete it is? Something like "x% done" would be nice. Regards Pete

Using preschedulecmd

Hi, Using a 5.3 client on Solaris. Is it possible to schedule a command which is a script that invokes the dsmc command and uses preschedulecmd. Can I use this as an option to the dsmc programme or do I put it in the dsm.sys? Thanks Pete

Re: TDP oracle to new domain policy - error deleting old backups from old domain

Hi, I believe what you said about the management classes is true. What rman errors are you getting? Did you change the nodename? Doing that upsets the combination of rman and tdp in finding backups. Regards Pete -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Gene - syntax/punctuation for an object in a schedule

Hi, When you set these things up, remember that the command is being passed to a shell for execution, since most Unix shells do not like a space between a redirection operator and a filename, the command is probably failing. You should find the failure logged on the client in tsm home area. Regard

Running dsmcad to show information from secondary tsm nodename

Re: Over-ride include exclude options in a dsmc session

Thanks Andy, My situation is that I have Oracle 7 databases to backup, so no TDP and rman. The system is set so that the areas we store the Oracle datafiles in is ignored. Fine for the Unix backups, but I need to be able to at least shutdown the Oracle 7 databases and do a cold backup. At the same

Over-ride include exclude options in a dsmc session

query session command - for a specific session

Hi, Running Version 5, Release 2, Level 3.4. Something that has been bugging me for a while. The "query session" command shows all of the tsm sessions and according to the help you can narrow this down to a specific session using "query session 'sesnum'". But I can never get this to work. The ou

Re: Scheduled session remains active

Hi, My exprience is that it is the dsmc programme that runs the scheduled jobs, usually when things get "odd" we restart this scheduler process on the client. dsmcad is the deamon required to run the web interface to do backup and restores. But I am on Solaris not RD Linux. Regards Pete -
