Re: TSM and 3590E Tapes

Thanks. One thing I'm not clear on is whether I need to set the old B tapes to readonly or can I let TSM do it for me. IBM says that the new drives will not write over a non-scratch tape in the old format. When TSM calls for an output tape and the drive detects the old format will it genrate

Thanks. I just sent an email query for the archives. I had been trying to seach them from the web, but had no luck. The LSOFT pages show a web archive link at: vm.marist.edu/htbin/wa but when I try to link to it I can't get connected. Is there really a web interface for ADSM-L archives? -

TSM and 3590E Tapes

We are running TSM 3.7.3 on OS/390 2.8. We are getting ready to upgrade our tape drives from model B's to model E's. IBM says that the upgraded drives will read the old tapes just fine, but will write them at the new density. I am unable to determine what, if anything, I need to do to config

This sounds like what we saw when converting to 2.8 last year (are just now working on 2.10). I think it has to do with the telling TSM which TCPIP you are using, IBM's or something else. There should be an ANRDDDEF member in the SYS1.SAMPLIB for R10. It has comments describing how to setup

Re: ANS1301E Error

2001-03-26 Thread Louis Wiesemann
It did not have a max size set on the pool, but the pool was full enough that it could not fit 5G more into it. This apparently is treated like a file size limit and tries to dump the large file directly to tape (at least when the storage pool is not full enough to trip the migration limits).

Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I had available drives. The only other process using a drive was a DB backup. Yes, the disk pool is shared and was full enough that the 5G would not fit, so that explains the tape mount attempt. But I can still find no reason for the job to fail. We do have
