no.. This is a communication setting. It tells the client not to buffer small transactions, but to send them to the server right away. bob On Tue, Jul 23, 2002 at 12:26:01PM -0400, Claudio Cofre Caro wrote: > One question... > > If i use in my tsm server "TCPNODELAY = YES" > then this means

Does anyone know off the top of their heads if there is a way to have the default permissions on the dsmsched and dsmerror logs to something other than 666 on UNIX? This does not seem to be a umask issue, we have tried that. thanks, bob

Check your randomize setting with 'q stat'. By default it is 25%. You can set it with set randomize. bob On Tue, Jul 09, 2002 at 01:33:40PM -0400, Martin, Jon R. wrote: > The below schedule was scheduled for 1 PM. The client scheduler is > polling and at 1:05 PM it updated, and said th

Check the volume out first, without doing a label check. Insert the volume and do the label libv. I would do further checking if I were you though. I think relabling a volume this way will destroy your data, as it may zero out the index. You don't want to re-initialize the volume, just put on

After reading the documentation for the 5.1 clients, I don't believe that your server level (4.1.X) is supported. As far as I could tell, only 4.2 and above could be used with the 5.1 clients. We were seeing the problems with the 4.2.2 clients under UNIX (mainly Linux), and moved to the 5.1 clie

Re: Shutting down TSM on AIX

2002-05-16 Thread Bob Booth - UIUC
Shutdown and reboot both send a kill -15 to processes. TSM listens to this kill signal and shuts itself down. If you have tape activity going, it is best to stop as much of it as you can, since some threads won't shut down completely until I/O is completed. bob On Thu, May 16, 2002 at 10:01:06
