Re: Adding Tables to TSM Database

Hi Adrian, you could create a master script which runs daily at 00:00 and checks for holidays, and then inactivates schedules. A sql statement like this can find any particular date - select 'HOLIDAY' from status where year(current_date) = 2006 and month(current_date) = 9 and day(current_date) =

Re: FSCK problem on TSM

You are quite correct Richard. Thanks We are considreing the option of trashing the filesystem where the disk?.dsm files for the DISKPOOL reside, and restoring it from the daily offsite backup done of the diskpool. It may also be worthwhile creating it as a RLV before restoring. Have you any ideas/

Re: Adding Tables to TSM Database

There is no provision for adding tables to the (proprietary) TSM database. Where TSM scheduling is insufficient (even with the TSM 5.3 enhancements), you should instead use client-based scheduling mechanisms (cron, etc.) to fulfill specific needs. Richard Sims

Re: FSCK problem on TSM

hi adrian, if no space within of your storage-pools is available, the data will be send to the according "Next Storagepool". if this is a sequential tape-pool and their are not enough tape-drives available, you will see a lot of mount-requests by your clients during their backup/archive-operation.

You're not giving us enough information to understand what the actual problem is there. Disk storage pool space and Recovery Log space are very different things and very much should be in very different places, having different service and recovery needs, including mirroring for the TSM database a
