Hopefully a simple question: I have a select script that finds the tapes I want to be processed by MOV DRM, is there a way to pipe the results from the select back into that command? Here's the select: select volume_name,state from drmedia where (volume_name in (select volume_name from volumes

Adding a second library

I've added a second 7337 library to our ADSM system (15 DLT robot with 2 drives). I've got the system seeing the library, and I have a new devclass defined with the new library. What I would like to do is have two of our stgpools (AFS_TAPE_POOL and COPYPOOL) we have defined use this new library,

Are you using the new ext3 filesystem type? If so, you need to add some config for a virtual filesystem for TSM to work. I don't remember the details, but I read it on the list here in the last few months. Steve Cochran Dartmouth College On Tuesday, February 26, 2002, at 05:44 PM, Eduardo

I'm not an expert with ADSM, but does ADSM have any of the advanced features that this article talked about? Can it back up a file only once for all the computers that have a copy of it? Or will it back up Winword.exe 5000 times for my whole organization? We're starting to look at what it will

Educational Licencing Question

We started using ADSM back when it was included in IBM's campus software package (also long before this was in my hands, so no first hand knowledge). Does anyone know if IBM still includes TSM in the campus software package, or even where to find out what our current licencing status is? We don't

This is slightly off-topic, but thought I'd ask. I've read it's possible to write a makesysb to a file, like on a NFS server. My question is is it possible to restore from a makesysb if the makesysb is on a NFS server? Can you boot from a CD, mount an NFS volume, and restore from the makesysb

New Server and Disk Pools

2001-09-04 Thread Stephen A. Cochran
I'm specing out a new server, and I'm wondering about disk pools. How do you recover from a disk failure on a disk pool? Do people use RAID on their disk pools? This server is for a new project to back up distributed clients all around campus. Steve Cochran Dartmouth College
