Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape

Any suggestions for a worst case scenario, where it is a primary pool tape which has not yet had a backup made? Had this happen this morning. Wrote 33GB onto a 3590E. The tape then became unreadable, the server error being "I/O error reading label for libvolume 101144 in drive RMT1 (/dev/rmt/6s

Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape

If it is a primary pool tape you just do a RESTORE VOLUME command on the TSM Server. The current tape will get marked destroyed and the data will actually go to other tapes in the pool from your copypool. If it is a copy pool tape, just do a DELETE VOLUME DISCARDDATA=YES. The next time you run

scheduled session vs non-scheduled client session

Good Day Is there a method with a program to tell which session were started with the TSM scheduler vs those that are started by a person? The reason that I ask, is that we need to be able to cancel session if they run into the prime shift hours, but I would to not cancel any sessions that are b

I've just tested a Qlogic 2200 HBA in a Sun server connected to a STK 9840 drive. Works well. One thing to be wary of is don't use the Sun supplied Qlogic drivers (SUNWqlc package) if your card is not a "Sun" Qlogic. The sun drivers picked up the HBA OK but couldn't see the tape drive. Download th

So how many time do you transfer the file across the network before you compress it? Why not just keep the file on the unix server the whole time? Pretty flashy winzip is slow and doesn't compress as much as gzip either. -Original Message- From: Gill, Geoffrey L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTE
