Hi-All,
On a newly configured TSM(v4.1) server(AIX4.3.3), I
configured a 100GB DiskPool consisting of six 18GB
virtual drives in a SAN. Things are working for a
while. Now I was told to make a DiskPool of 550GB.
If I use the current setup, I would need over 30 18GB
virtual drive. Obviously this
No.
Reclaim is the process of recovering unused portions of tapes by copying the
good stuff to a new tape.
Colocation is an option reduces the number of tapes occupied by the backups
for a system. This will make restores faster since it reduces the number of
tape mounts at the expense of additi
I've observed, that once the TSM starts to copy a file, it completes the
copy before stopping. A huge file can take a long time. Just for this
reason, I encourage the DBA's to break their dumps into smaller chunks
(~4GB).

You guys were pretty good. Are you cheaper than a library? You're

A few suggestions... The steps to run in a cluster are
quite "touchy". If you miss a step or a step does not
complete, or is done out of order, things may not work.
A few things to check:
1.) Make sure you are using CLUSTERNODE YES in the options file

Jeff,
Compressing more than once generally doesn't gain anything in
terms of space reduction, in fact there are certain instances in
which additional compression passes result in *larger* files.
Since you are compressing at the client side, and you are
averaging about 35GB on a 30GB native tape,
Question: Are you using Intermapper to poll the HTTP port on your TSM server?
We used to, and it crashed every three days because those "ghost"
HTTP admin sessions were always hanging around. We stopped
Intermapper polling, and all our crashes went away!!!

What I don't understand is why it takes so darn long for the query to run,
when TSM can find the tape it needs very quickly when you run the actual

Mmmm - Let me see - I have opened a call with our local IBM folks and they

Don't try 3.7.4.5. Instead of hanging or immortal admin sessions, I got
segmentation faults and crashed servers. After eight in one day, I had to
lock out all administrative users. The advice from support was live with
3.7.4 until you can upgrade to V4.
