Hi !
I had a strange problem on my AIX server 4.3.3 with Informix 7.24UC3 and TSM
with TDP for Informix version 3.7. While restoring the backup using "onbar

During backups and a maxed out system I fired up an expiration to see what
my worse rate is. It was an average of 187 objects a second. Cache hit
rate was only 95.7 during this time. So, yes, you have a problem, and I
think I know what it is. Until you get to 4.2.2.7, and really higher or
5.1.
As it turns out, Level 2 now believes the APAR fixed in 4.2.2.8 related to
AUDITDB and other fixes up to 4.2.2.10 apply to this issue. We are
installing 4.2.2.12 next week.

Robin suggests periodic full backups by changing the mode.
A less intensive approach is to run selectives over parts of of your node every day,
so that over a week/fortnight/ month you will have backed up everything at least once.

Some more ideas:
We put the TSM server in its own storage pool. We do a force move data of
all tapes in the offsite each week, that keeps it essentially on one tape
and the process is quite fast. I have a perl script that figures all this
out and does the move data reconstruct commands. It is
Everyone would like to have a commmand feature like the client to run a

When you say "script", are you talking about a TSM script or an OS script?
Sounds to me that you're doing a TSM script and, as such, the message is
completely valid. There is no mail command in TSM. In AIX I have client
schedules set up which run shell scripts.

Yes, we moved TSM off of a mainframe and onto a Sun/Solaris platform. We
are very pleased with the performance. If you have archive data then you
need to "move data" which will take a long time. For backups, we pointed
all clients away from the mainframe and to the new Sun server, so all new

Diana,
Have you tried backing this node up under a different node name as a test??
I had a problem similar to this on a client. All bacukps were running fine,
then one day, strange messages in activity log. We could get a backup to
finish under a different node name. All that we could surmise
Problem there is the tape media on which all the client data is stored.
Is the same media available both on your ~mainframe~ and on your Sun box ?
probably not so you're out of luck in general
(and I like IBM/AIX boxes more than Sun/Solaris, just me...)

With the error TSM leaves a ".file" in the cache directory, that causes new
