Hi All, suppose you were an IS amanager and were concerned to detect whenever administrators under your control changed things in TSM without filing approprate change management documentation and seeking approval beforehand. How would you approach this? I can think of two possibilities - 1. U

Tim, "It is possible to pre-define the volumes with DEFINE VOLUME (I have not tried this)." The limitation of one file system per FILE device class affects scratch volumes only. As far back as ADSM 3.1 I had FILE volumes belonging to one DevClass defined on six different disk file systems. Your

Per the client release readme, only NSS volumes will backup files larger than 4GB. If it is a NSS volume, not TFS, then I would check to make sure you've got all the newest novell patch levels, besides just the newest TSM client. In particular, do you have sp5, and all the newest NSS/SMS patches.

One thing to keep in mind regarding OFM/Groupwise backups. At first we were having trouble getting the volume to sync correctly during a backup. We had to change the OFM properties for that client (under the "NSS" tab) to an initial cache size of 4096K. It was initially too small, and the cache

Well, from the attached file, I saw the file was backed up only 5 or 6 times since May. I can't say *why* TSM has multiple backups of the file. Some possible reasons include: * incomplete -incrbydate backup. If you use -incrbydate, check the last backup time for the file system * selective backup

How to check out tapes from an inaccessible library?

How can I force TSM to checkout tapes that are in an inaccessible library? Here's the situation. We have a 3584 LTO library that is fibre attached through a SAN switch. The library is inaccessible because of switch problems. I have defined another library (with a path through a different device)
