wait=y export and identify duplicates

Hi All I recently re-discovered that you can't put wait=y on an EXPORT command. I wanted to run ISSUE MESSAGE after it had finished as I had a user who was keen to know when the import side of this had finished. You can't do that. I also note that in TSM V6 there is no wait=y on IDENTIFY DUPLI

File device class directories

If you have a Device Class of type FILE with multiple directories, how does TSM decide which directory to allocate new volumes in?  The Admin Guide simply says that TSM decides, but gives no more idea than that. In a bunch of searching I've found no real explanation of the decision process (lea

Re: 6.2 output formatting

Thanks Andy and Marcel.. I was hoping for a quick fix. As I said the rexx script is ugly and I'm afraid that any attempt to modify it will break it. Looks like I'll have to write a shim to correct the format, but I might take the opportunity to use -commad on the 6.2 instances. Regards Steve.

Re: Expiration processing

Technically correct, Just make sure you disable the auto expiration (q opt EXPINTERVAL) If I were confronted with a temporary need like this (as I have been in the past), I'd rather just change the RETE and RETO until you can resume expiration. I think that is much safer. You won't have to worr

Re: 6.2 output formatting

Hi Steve, Off-hand I'm not sure what changed in the output formatting, but have you looked into use the "-tabdelimited" and "-dataonly=yes" options on the dsmadmc command line? This should overall make parsing much easier than trying to handle the default formatting. For example: dsmadmc -id=a

Re: 6.2 output formatting

Hi Steve, How about the client options -dataonly=yes and -commadelimited or -tabdelimited ? You lose the headers and the formatting and get only the data you need. See also: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21143748 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/index.js

6.2 output formatting

Hi All I've inherited a Rube Goldberg reporting system where TSM queries are run against systems, and the results from all the TSM instances, then run through a very ugly rexx script to produce a consolidated csv file for each day. This is then further processed by some rather opaque VBA and the

Long term archiving solutions for file servers

We have a weekly archive requirement for our Netapp file servers and are using TSM NDMP for this. My opinion is this is one of those "misusing backups as an archive" situations and I want to change this. We are looking at 100-150TB a week with LONG term retention and I'm not sure what options are

Re: Windows 2003 32bit whole system restore

Short answer: working as expected. "System state" backups include whatever Microsoft designates as part of "system state". That doesn't mean it includes everything in c:\windows, or in c:\program files. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to how Microsoft creates the "system state" list; they

Most have the defaults, i.e. maxmountpoint of 1 and resourcelimit of ?? (I forget the default) but each node has at least two sessions, a gatherer and a sender. David >>> "Hart, Charles A" 3/9/2011 9:28 AM >>> How many mount points / streams per client are you allowing for 750 Clients? Regards,

I have a copygroup with VERE and VERD set to NOLIMIT and RETE and RETO set to 30 days. If I do NOT do expiration processing (expire inventory), will inactive backups remain accessible longer than 30 days until expiration processing resumes? David

Antwort: [ADSM-L] DB PiT restore with 6.2.1

Hi, I discussed this with Dave Canan during the TSM-Symposium 2009 and he told me, that the PIT restore works as in V5, so today we are only able to restore to the latest backup. Probably this will be enhanced in a following release, but actually we have no date. Kind Regards Gerd W. Becker V

Hi, Normally NICs do have a couple of files that don't belong to System State that are binary and others. The Mouse situation can't I explain but I'm guessing you have the same issue as the NIC problem. Best Regards Christian Svensson Cell: +46-70-325 1577 E-mail: christian.svens...@cristie.se
