TSM 6.1: Can I remove the log mirror?

Can I remove the log mirror for my 6.1.0.2 (Windows) server? Is it as simple as removing it from dsmserv.opt? (Can't find anything in the manual...)

JR Are you using any options or features of the dsmc command that are not available with the dsm gui command. If I remember correctly the gui will allow multiple file systems to be selected and will optimize the tape mounts. I wonder if one starts multiple dsmc restores at the same time wil

If the number of object to be restored is moderate, you can build a file list and pass this to the restore command. [RC] On Oct 27, 2009, at 1:02 PM, Schneider, Jim wrote: JR, I can't. The second file system name is the location to which the first file system is restored. I create a script

JR, I can't. The second file system name is the location to which the first file system is restored. I create a script with multiple dsmc commands, each one restoring one file system. Assuming your data is on separate tapes or on disk, you have to run multiple commands to restore more than one

We run RedHat exclusively (for Linux - all other *NIX are SUN boxes) and ALL of our TSM servers are RH4 or above using fibre-attached TS1120/1130 drives. There used to be issue with the IBM supplied tape drivers being kernel level dependent and we had to hold back on updating the OS until IBM

The typical reason for this is that people are compressing at the client level and not realizing it. Check some of your larger "compressible" clients to see if the compression option is on. If so, it's compressing before it gets to the tape drive and you don't see the ratio there. If you have no ne

Actually, we figured it out and it had nothing to do with Java. It seems the new V6/all Java clients are very fragile when it comes to errors in the DSM.OPT file. When I had the user run the CLI, from the menu, it would flash and quit immediately. As soon as we ran DSMC manually, we saw the erro
