Hi all,
Is there one way to trace in a log, backups with a GUI client on windows
NT/2000 like dsmsched.log for scheduler.
many thanks
Fabio
No, you cannot create a log file with the GUI.
What you can do instead is use the command line version of the client and
redirect the output to a file:
dsmc incremental > /my.tsm.backup.output.file

1. Drop 3570 of the list. IBM is withdrawing it so is not good idea to be

You problem can be solved if you (or Linux admin) update the system to
meet TSM client requirements. As per readme file:
Linux kernel 2.2.x(for x=13 or higher)
or
Linux kernel 2.4.x(for x=0 or higher)
glibc 2.1.x, 2.2 (for x=2 or higher)
libstdc++ 2

if you omit '/dev/r' you will access block not character (raw) device for

The rest is copygroup settings.

the main points in the AIT vs LTO contest to me are:

Yes, it will require all the inactive files to come back. But, the DR

with about 8 tape drives restoring the pool in about 18 hours (estimate for

There is no change (yet) to the TDP/R3 code between TSM 4.x and TSM 5.1.
The TDP/R3 software uses the TSM API to back up the Oracle database and a

Hi!
We recently installed TSM 5.1 on Solaris 2.8.
Hi,
just one cent thougt:
Access and load/unload times can be, depending on your restore requirements,
major decision criterion.
Ait access time really shine when the chip on tape is supported by the

You may want to check whether TSM supports it.

I wouldn't do this. Use the native device drivers rather than the tsmscsi
