Preemption not working

Hi *SM-ers! Today, again all my client backups were hanging. Again I encountered a 100% full diskpool, but this time it was caused by a very long running backup stgpool. Migration was running, but waiting for mountpoints. According to the Admin Guide, migration processing has a higher priority tha

Re: Using Scratch Volumes

Hi Doug, yes - the scratch tapes need to be checked in to the library in order for the backup and other processes to use them. If there are no scratch tapes then you will receive the same error. ADSM/TSM does not issue a request for scratch tapes. Also, if you assign those scratch tapes to a stora

Using Scratch Volumes

Hi all, up till now I have been defining tapes in storage pools, but occasionally I run out of storage in a pool, so the backup fails. I want to have a pool of scratch tapes available for use by any storage pool, so gave the "max scratch volumes" a value of 10 in every storage pool, then labe

Re: What would you think would happen..........

The restartable restore blocks all access to the filespace, including things like reclamations and backup stgpools! We've forgotten and left a couple out there a few times. Do a "q restore" to see what restartable restores if any you have. Do a "can restore" to kill them if not needed anymore.

Re: Backing up Shared Disks

We're using this successfully Each app in the cluster is its own node, with a dsm.opt file on a filesystem that fails over with the app, plus one node each for the underlying machines. Domain statements in the dsm.opt files restrict each node to its own disk. dsm.sys is the same on all nodes

Re: Archive Question

Hi, Bill. The Total Bytes Transfered statistic isn't actually incorrect; it's just a different statistic than what you're looking for. It just tells how much data was sent over the network. For example, if a 500MB file is half transfered, 250MB, then the file is updated, it starts over, resulti

Re: What would you think would happen..........

Zoltan, If you start a restore to another box from the gui, you'd have a restartable restore on the server. That blocks that filespace from backing up until the restore is finished. If you started from the cmd line, the same would happen unless you used the -pittime or some other option that kept

Re: What would you think would happen..........

Yes, we just saw this last week. We had rebuilt an NT client (let's call it XYZ) that lost its C: drive, but the restore had terrible throughput (that's another topic). So, after it was all done, we wanted to test the theory that maybe the NT client machine was causing the slow throughput. We re

Re: Backing up Shared Disks

The parameter Servername in the dsm.sys file specifies which options to use. You can specify this parameter in the dsm.opt file. I create two directories with separate dsm.opt files and run the backups from separate directories. The key is for this parameter in the dsm.opt file to point to which

Re: What would you think would happen..........

What I mean is that the machine performing the restore (AIX) does not perform backups. It simply connects as NODENAME XYZ. It is not *THE* XYZ node that did the backup. How would you lockout the source node since this machine is signing in using the NODENAME of the "source" node ? =

Actually, I thought you could. You can go into the LCD panel to check a cleaning tape in (pg 129 of the B-series Subsystem Operator Guide), setting Automatic cleaning (p130) and the reserved slot for the cleaning tape is stored in the first available stoage-only slot (SCSI element 46 or higher)

In your Operator Guide for the 3575 library, there are instructions for inserting a Cleaning Cartridge. Then on the LCD panel of the 3575 you can set AUTOCLEAN ON so the 3575 will clean drives automatically when they request it. You also have the option on the LCD panel to manually clean a drive

Re: cleaning 3575 drive

Stick a cleaning tape in the library. Use the front panel controls on the library to move the tape in. Use the front panel controls to clean a drive or all drives. TSM has nothing to do with cleaning or the cleaning tape. George Lesho Storage/System Admin AFC Enterprises Pothula S Paparao
