Mixed Device Classes in Same Library

I am using both the HP Tape Device Driver (GENERICTAPE) and the new TSM Tape Device Driver (DLT - Format DLT35) both formats are being used in the same library. Some of the drives have been converted to the new TSM Device driver and some remain GENERIC DLT. I keep getting the TSMDEVICE tapes

High CPU Consumption on Tape Threads in DSMSERV

I have just had a call escalated to level 2 and was wondering if anybody else is having a problem and may not know it. I was told I was the first to report it. We have recently upgraded to TSM 5.1.7.2 and noticed there is a higher amount of CPU being consumed by the DSMSERV process. We were upgr

We do collocate at the filespace level and we have a Shell script that bumps up the maxscratch values to the number of tapes we want to be able to recover from. To save tape mounts we base the number on the number of drives and Recovery System Drives). We do have to run this script periodically thr

I run something similar every day. I have 1 devclass per library and the command works fine without duplicating the count of scratch tapes. Do you have multiple device classes in the same library? My scratch are not assigned to a specific device class they are scratch for the entire library. If

I am planning the configuration of another TSM server with another tape library (Similar to my first one). I am worried about our operators accidentally inserting "library-1" good tapes (i.e. offsite) into the other "library-2" as scratch. The TSM server will add them to the "scratch" pool. Does

The largest restore I have done was 144GB and since Oracle databases compress real tight there was not that much data actually transferred (Less than 60 Gig). In our experience, it all depends on the speed of the client, what we do is run a script that will submit "N" sessions (1 For each Mount p

2000-07-26 Thread Slaughter, Bill
The "MOVE DATA" will attempt to mount and move any data if the tape is accessible and readable. If you are using DRM and the tape is a copypool tape (Offsite) the move data will locate the primary storage pool tape and move the data from it. Failing that, you could use Restore volume xxx to r
