I think of it less of a question of OS, more of a question of hardware. It is very hard to find an x86 server that has the bus structure to handle the 11 HBA's I am using. The first concern for me is what does the hardware need to handle? After that, I was down to non-x86 hardware. If your ex

Del, I had the APAR in front of me as I started to type, but my symptoms appeared to be different. But I tried the rename node and rneame filespace approach and it worked just fine. However, that requires the sysadmin to change both the dsm.opt and the scheduled service. With a couple of dozen m

Hello all, I just wanted to get some opinions on which people prefer, having a TSM Server on a Windows server or AIX. Currently our TSM environment is on AIX and I just wanted to know if it is worth while to migrate to a Windows platform. Thanks Greg

We changed the management class on a group of MSSQL machines and started to see a lot of errors coming from MSSQL that also cause failed backups. The DBA tried to do a manual backup and received ANS0328E. Fred Johanson

Hi Sorry yes, this is a Windows client and a Solaris server. I'm pretty sure I don't have the 'find' option for Solaris (or if I do I can't find it), but I will get the Windows admin to check his client and let me know. Many thanks Farren |-+-

Well, it would help to know what platform you are on. But for Windows and UNIX clients, you start the client GUI, click RESTORE, then from the top menu select EDIT -> FIND. There is a very nice SEARCH capability that lets you search on names, parts of names, size, date, etc. Wanda Prather "I/O,

Sir: Depends on what you want to have available. I let my volume history grow. This is because I occasionally need to know the history of a particular tape cartridge. After it goes back to scratch, tsm loses its error information. I can use the volhist to see how many times it has cycled throug
