Re: Slow Reclamation - And a need for speed...

Hi Jack. I was in the fortunate position of having lots of tapes and lots of slots so I increased my reclaim percentages from 50 to 80. After three months, things have now stabilized and I get the same effects as I did before with much less effort. When a reclaim does run I really do get some

Re: SAP Backup Recovery During a Media Failure

This is a retryable failure, subject to the RETRY parameter in the init.utl file. 'Gracefull' is somewhat subject to interpretation - backint (TDP for R/3) will start over on the failed file. If you're using multiplexing you'll restart ALL the files in the multiplex stream. The easiest way to tes

Licensing problems on TSM for Windows 5.1.1.0

I have just upgraded my TSM server to 5.1.1.0 and am unable to register client licenses beyond 1 mgsyslan client or 1oracle client etc. I have not been able to test this on other platforms. Sounds like a bug, even reinstalled the licenses off the 5.1.0.0 CD and no success. Any help is appreciated.

If your copy pool volume is damaged, just do DELETE VOL xx discarddata=yes. That removes all the data base entries for the files on the copy pool volume. The next time you run: BACKUP STGPOOL primarypool copypool TSM figures out all the files that DON"T have a copy in the copy pool (which

Hi Easiest way to accomplish what you're looking for is(I guess) using clustering in Mutual Take over mode. This way, you have two cluster nodes, each running a TSM server instance, and each being a Standby-node for eachother. In case of a disaster, both instances would be running on the same
