Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a solution backing up an Exchange 2007 Cluster using TSM.
Either using legacy streaming backup or VSS.
Is there someone in this Forum having setup a working environement and likes to

Any help is kindly appreciated

Thanks for sharing your script. Everybody has their own naming
convention for tape drives. I like a convention where the TSM name

Could it be that you have some script issuing a command like "delete

for DB backup expiration days) ?
If yes, then the volumes are left "orphaned" in DRM, and thus never
expiring, IIRC.

EXCLUDE.COMPRESSION excludes files from compression when COMPRESSION YES is

There is a client options set in effect, and it did have

everything.
But even with that in effect, when I used the

Make sure you don't have a client option set forcing compression.
I checked the 5.4.2.0 client on Linux x86, your scenario (compression yes

Well, I guess I am being tripped up my engineer's mind. I want the
product to work consistently, not arbitrarily. And to work according to
the manual. In the Unix client manual in the section on processing
options it says:
* Most options that you enter on the command line override the value set
i
Not if the client locally has compress=y in the optfile. That option
may override the setting in the schedule.
If you want to make sure a directory, or series of files don't compress
use the exclude.compress option.
If you want to turn off compression for the whole client add compress no
to the
Also turn the SAN Discovery option ON, we have figured out that the only way
SAN Discovery would work was to run TSM as Root in UNIX. If you have SAN

That is the question: does the compress=no on the command line override the

Are you comparing the element number/serial number on each rmt device on the

Can you see that the library is indeed hanging a tape in some drive? And if
so, is it indeed the correct drive? Visual inspection of what you think is

I've seen something similar in the non sharing environment if the element
number to drive relationship is whacked. For instance, you suggest that the
drive at /rmt0 is element 256 when in reality it's 257. The library is
instructed to mount a tape in element 256 and then TSM looks for tape in

Sorry I missed this, should have read it closer the first time.
However, you need to alter your DSMI_ORC_CONFIG to point to the dsm.opt file
