Re: TSM causing client disk contention

Paul, Yes, We've noticed this. Our solutions: * Start backups when users have supposedly gone home. * Don't do 'hot backups'. Have the application export its own backup to a flat file (preferably on another file system), then backup up the flat file. * Just backup what you MUST daily, then

I do not think the code should ever have worked in the manner you described, since the library name and volume name are positional parameters. Thus QUERY LIBVOLUME WN3006 implies that WN3006 is the library name, and should always have indicated no match found. I am not aware of it ever working othe

Can someone confirm this before I report it to IBM? Seems to be a bug in this release of TSM (5.2.4.0) with the command, "query libvol", see below. A "query volume wn3006" shows the tape WN3006 as being used by the ARCHTAPE storage pool. A "query libvolume wn3006" shows that it is not in the lib

Mount retention, the extreme case.

I did find a case in which I had difficulty getting a TSM library client to do e.g. reclamation when I had mount retention set "wrong": If you've got a library client which you've set to have access to two drives, and mount retention set to some normal value on the library manager (say, 5 minutes)

Hi Frank, There is no command that I can think of that does this; you'd have to write a program or script to do it. Here are sample script and C++ program (they both do the same thing). If these are useful, tailor as you wish. Regards, Andy WMI SCRIPT ' ListDrives.vbs ' Invoke by running ' '
