(TSM server 5.1.6.5 on AIX) Did anyone find a way to clear a client node's PASSwordEXPiration time (once it's inadvertently set by some admin), so as to re-establish the server-wide default value? A commands like the following doesn't work for me: UPDATE NODE ... PASSEXP="" Strangely, the ser

virtual volumes on target server - when do they go away?

I've been testing a "remote Copypool" setup, and now want to clean up ... As the last thing on the (temporary) source server, I deleted all virtual volumes, and checked via RECONCILE VOLUMES that they were all (logically) gone. On the target server though, I still have the non-empty archive files

It has been proposed that we "mirror" rather large (>1 TB) Storagepools on another server. Is anyone doing this? I'd like to know about experiences, in particular with respect to media consumption on the secondary site, and ideas how to choose the MAXCAPACITY of virtual volumes (in relation to ta
