BartPE w/TSM client question

2007-03-09 Thread Schaub, Steve
I'm doing some testing with BartPE using a TSM plugin, and I need some assistance. I want to be able to restore systemstate, but that requires the machine name to match exactly, and I dont see where I can configure that in Bart. Any helpful ideas? Steve Schaub Systems Engineer, WNI BlueCross Blue

You don't even have to check them out. You can enter: update libv xx status=scratch If there is any valid data on them, TSM will refuse. The most common reason scratch tapes get marked as PRIVATE with no valid data, is putting the tapes in the library without running LABEL LIBV to initiali

Check them volumes with "Q vol XX f=d" and see if they came from the scratch pool. If so, you will see a line like: Scratch Volume?: Yes in the output. If the line says No and the volumes are empty and they are not part of a storage pool, check the volumes out of the librar

Try doing "q libvol libraryname" if the volume is listed as private, and the last use column is blank, then the volume is probably scratch. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lepre, James Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 9:35 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.M

I have done the first 4 steps already.. What I believe is happening is that when some scratch tapes were put in TSM tried to use them, couldn't and mark them as private.. Is there a command to check to see if this is happening -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:

First, get a reliable inventory of what tapes are in your library, perhaps forcing the library to do an inventory beforehand. Do not use TSM for this. Second, reconcile the hardware inventory against what TSM reports in "q libvol" for this library, perhaps doing a TSM library audit beforehand.

Well... Only if the tape contains data from a BA client. If the tape contains TOP data, you will have to reschedule a full database backup for that client. If you have a read-only tape you should check the tape by moving it's data to a new tape, using the MOVE DATA command. If it fails, you can try

I'm not quite sure I'm understanding *why* you'd want to delete the data on the volume in the first place - if you simply wanted to return the physical volume to the scratch pool, wouldn't a 'move data' of its contents to another volume achieve that without getting the sledgehammer out? DMc -
