Total Data Stored by TSM?
Hi all What is the command to run (if there is one) to find out the total amount of data currently stored by a TSM server, or can it only be done via an SQL script?

Re: Total Data Stored by TSM?
Thanks for that. Now, I'm assuming that includes active and inactive copies of files? If so, is there a way to get a figure for just active? The reason I ask is that I am being asked how much data would need to be backed up if we had to completely backup all of our servers again. Now, I guess I could go to every single machine and extract that data (slow), or run the q occup command and then add up all the Occupied (MB) entries, but there must be an easier way... I hope :-) Thanks again Farren -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of goc Sent: 11 June 2008 10:36 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Total Data Stored by TSM? select sum(PHYSICAL_MB) MB from occupancy On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 11:08 AM, Minns, Farren - Chichester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > > What is the command to run (if there is one) to find out the total amount of > data currently stored by a TSM server, or can it only be done via an SQL > script? > > Thanks in advance > > Farren Minns > > > This email (and any attachment) is confidential, may be legally privileged > and is intended solely for the > use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

Bad volume rule of thumb
Hello All, Thanks for your help!! The volume inventory here is rather old here(2002). There tends to be many read and write errors in the volume inventory. I was looking for a rule of thumb regarding how many errors trigger disposal of these volumes. I have been disposing of them at the first sign of either read or write failures but I am seeing so many, I am beginning to wonder if some level or read/write errors is acceptable. Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

Re: Bad volume rule of thumb
Hi Nicholas You don't say what your tape technology is. I used to admin a site that had LTO1 and LTO3 drives. With the LTO1s I would run move data on any tape in error, and if that worked record the volser of the tape. After three errors, or if the move data didn't work I would discard the tape. For the LTO3s I discovered that any error tended to be permanent. I currently work a lot with LTO2s and they fail similarly to LTO1s, but more of them fail hard on the first error. Regards Steve.

Re: Fwd: Re: [ADSM-L] Bad volume rule of thumb
Nicholas, I agree with Steve's comment, except when we get a tape error, we do an 'audit volume fix=yes' first, and if it doesn't get an error, we put it back into service. If it gets any errors, we 'move data' to clear off as much data as possible, then destroy the tape. I would NOT simply live with a tape that get occasional errors. A tape might cost $80-90, the data could be worth many thousands or millions in the case of a disaster. Start keeping track of which tape drives are getting the errors. It could be the drive, not the tape. Also make sure your cleaning tapes aren't old. With LTO the cleaners are good for 50 cleanings. Replace them at that point, don't reuse them. You will cause errors and reduce the life of your drives. Use the IBM3584 automatic tape drive cleaning, not TSM's cleaning. I found out the hard way that TSM's tape cleaning is very unreliable, and frequently misses cleaning requests. We changed to the IBM3584 automatic cleaning, and our errors went way down. Don't hesitate to bring in your CE support if you seem to be getting a lot of errors; ask them to run diagnostics on your drives, and look for a failed one. Check your level of microcode and Atape drives, and make sure you are up-to-date. These steps may take time and Hope this helps. Best Regards, John D.

licensing question on TSM Extended Edition
Hello, I understand the calculation of PVUs and how to derive the $$ for the licensing fees for a node (server) be registered and backed up on tivoli. I have a cluster failover (window os) , one of the server houses two ips ( one is a floater ip) , two nodes using different dsm.opt files, both registered on tivoli, do I have to pay two license fees even though it is the same box? I was told that once the node(s) are live wired onto tivoli, licensing fee will be charged. I am not sure if we have to pay twice because of using different node names for failover. Thank you in advance. Avy Wong Business Continuity Administrator Mohegan Sun 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd Uncasville, CT 06382 (860)862-8164 (cell) (860)961-6976

Error 8 establishing TSM API session
We had an issue with a node and it had to be rebuilt. When they installed the client and domino tdp they used a 5.3 version they had. When they tried to restore a file the error they got indicated the tsm version used to archive the file is newer than the one they are using to restore it. They upgraded the client to 5.4.1.6 and that soled the retrieve issue but they tell me now the tdp backup is failing and when they use the client to connect they get the message Error 8 establishing TSM API session. The client message repository is corrupt or invalid. Now they tell me that they have uninstalled and reinstalled the client but still get the same message. I have tried searching the archives but from where I am connection to adsm.org is suddenly failing. I was hoping someone had some insight they could pass along. Thanks for any help you can offer.
