Re: TSM node replication sessions too few

[Stefan Folkerts]

Could it be you have one object/filespace left to replicate?
I don't think that can be done with multiple sessions.
Normally I see the sessions go up to the max setting but then drop back
down when there are no longer that many filespaces left to do. Often you
will see one sessing running for the last filespace when replicating many
nodes to start with.

Re: Rolling a TSM instance to a new server/lpar

[Michael Prix]

Hello Richard,
in addition to my mail, keep in mind:
- Instanceuser and -group
- settings under /etc/security/ belonging to this user.
- /etc/tunables/nextboot
- Stanzas in /etc/services belonging to the TSM-Instance ( often to be found
at the end consisting of 5-6 consecutive lines, naming schema DB2_
till DB2__END)
