RMAN on ORA-01403

Hi guys and girls, haven't been here for a while and it's nice to be back. I need help from one of the Oracle-Gurus on this list. One of my customers moved some of his Oracle datafiles to another filesystem. Unfortunately, he/she did so without telling RMAN. So even though the Redbook says "RMAN n

dsmcad running scheduler

Hi folks, I am sure this question has been asked before. One of our customers is running dsmcad (Client ver 5.1.1.0) in "webclient schedule" mode. Last night the schedules got missed. After I checked the log files this morning, I realized dsmcad set with a HTTPClientport 1582 claims to have shifte

Re: AIX Question

Hi, this is actually a good and valid question. Since I am a strong believer of KISS I actually do not see any obvious reason for separating the traffic even though TSM makes it possible to do so. The only reason I would figure is that the traffic should flow via two separate subnets with differen

Two questions regarding NDMP backups

Hi guys and girls, I have just been busy implementing NDMP for a NetApp filer under TSM 5.2.0.2 last week. The Module runs just fine including file level restore capabilities. However, two questions popped up in my mind that do not get answered in the relevant redbooks so maybe you on the list can

Hi there, I guess you already got the right answer from Rene. Just add another entry to dsm.sys with tcpserveraddress pointing to the ip address of the GB card. The scheduler will be started with the default entry and handle connections through the 10/100MBit network while you will need to start y

Re: Upgrading HSM and AIX at the same time?

Hi doing the upgrade the usual way employing an AIX migration installation would preserve all filesystems in the rootvg except /tmp. Only the the filesets delivered with AIX will be upgraded but not the ADSM/TSM/HSM client filesets. After you have done the AIX upgrade just upgrade the TSM client.

Schedule twice weekly

Hi guys and girls, anyone got a good idea of how to start a schedule twice a week say Tuesday and Thursday? It could be nice if TSM would allow more than one entry in the dayofweek field. Thanks Lars

DB2 backup problem

Hi guys and girls, we are running weekly offline backups of a DB2 database ver 7.1.0.65 EEE on AIX. The server is a NSM at 4.1.6.0 and the clients at 3.7.2.0. The last backup failed on one of the nodes showing lots of these entries in the dsmerror.log: sessInit: Starting communications initializa

Hi there, you are perfectly correct. There's only one thing left. dsmcad is actually the one responsible for accepting connections on the http ports set in dsm.sys. For accessing the mentioned webclients just create two more option files pointing to the relevant server entry. Under AIX (that's wha

Re: Upgrading firmware on 3583 library and 3580 drives

Hi, Not at all. The devices just have to be reset, ie you do a "rmdev -l" followed by a "mkdev -l" for the appropriate devices. After, you should confirm with "lscfg -v -l" that the new firmware level is correct. Bye Lars On 12.12.2002 11:21:38 "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" wrote: > Hello everybody

Continual media feed for dlt
