And moving it from the old to TSM is virtually impossible. It would require a restore of the data and then an archive of it into TSM. As you state, figuring what data that is is the issue and not easily (if at all) resolvable. Write off the 3000 tapes, keep the last of the catalogs around and c

Hi, Dave. Not that I know of. Since you're on AIX, I recommend piping your dsmserv output to dsmulog. This will store the output in rotating log files that you can check. It doesn't, however, fit your criteria of only logging during startup. On the "plus" side, I find using awk, grep, or a tex

Gill, I will start by asking: What do you think happens? The cool thing about TSM is it will usually do what you think it will do. If a tape error occurs, the current transaction (whatever it happens to be) will fail. What that means will vary. In the case of a client/agent backup, a write e

The only potential problem I see with this set, is the last line "del volhist type=all". If you have any backupsets in your library you lose track of them if they are older than your "todate" option. Setting type= to the type you want to remove (leaving off db, dbs, and backupsets) is a safer
