Gary, I agree with all the previous comments. It is easy to maintain, and has few problems. The one fly in its ointment is that the Web Speclalist interface redefines the word 'slow' when accessed from a browser. If it is accessed from a TS3000 console --which is no longer made-- its respons

I second everything Wanda said. Just a great piece of gear. As for ALMS, I don't think you can get a TS3500 without it today, nor would you want you. Steve Stackwick STEPHEN STACKWICK | Senior Consultant | 301.518.6352 (m) | stephen.stackw...@icfi.com | icfi.com ICF INTERNATIONAL | 7125 Thomas

I have worked with many customers with many types of tape libraries. The 3584 (now known as the TS3500) is my favorite. I don't think you can buy anything better, or easier to use. If you are connecting to your 3494 via SCSI cable, you won't see much difference in behavior. If you are using the

We have been using a 3584 for about 12 years and have had no issues at all with it. The only time it has been "down" is for firmware upgrades, replacing tape drives (upgrade from LTO2 to LTO4), and when we moved to our new datacenter. Very stable and a great workhorse. We use it only for TSM, b

We are also looking to upgrade from a 3494 to a 3584. So far as I can tell the 3584 seems to be practically a drop-in replacement for the 3494. On 5/2/2014 14:39, Lee, Gary wrote: Looking at updating our tape libraries for other rojects which might use ltfs. We currently have the ibm 3494 libra

That's what I thought... The node manager tells me he changed the IP and I also told him to stop/start the schedule service. I'll have him send me a copy of his dsm.opt file... that'll tell if he did the change. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST

Looking at updating our tape libraries for other rojects which might use ltfs. We currently have the ibm 3494 library with 3592-e05 (ts1120) drives. It seems that we must go to the 3584 to get access to lto type tapes, yet keep using our e05s for tsm. I would like to hear others experiences with

I have a node where the IP address changed; it now differs from the TCP/IP value shown in Q NODE F=D. The node can successfully open the BAClient GUI and I see Activity Log records that display the new IP value. I can PING the new address and TELNET to 1501 so I know the scheduler is running

Hello Del, well - I will give it a try using different node as a proxy (and another node for storing the filespace). I have looked for APARs fixed in the 7.1 and found three concerning the VM backup (two even with application integration) - but the symptoms are not the same. Maybe it is just ano

Hi Harry, This looks like a bug that was fixed. It is fixed in the 7.1 client package. If you do not want to upgrade to 7.1, it will be fixed in the 6.4.2 PTF coming out this summer. Del "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" wrote on 05/02/2014 04:41

I would assume that it's expiration. I would make sure you have expiration running regularly, and that it's not running up against a duration limit. You can run expiration for specific clients, which will help cut down the run time for it. On Fri, May 02, 2014 at 12:52:08PM +, Rick Adamson wro
