os/2 a supported client?

Is OS/2 a supported TSM client? I can't find info on the web site to say that, but have found several old posts in the ADSM-L archives to suggest that it may be. M. __ Do you Yahoo!? Y! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your web site http://webhos

Re: Slow DB backups.

I thought I saw a thread not too long ago about a problem with DBBackups running longer if you had DBCOPY volumes...? I was trying to search for the thread, but didn't see anything... Should looked at Tivoli knowledge base first...here's the APAR IC34146 (amongst others): APAR= IC34146 SER=

Re: ADSM to TSM

I have several customers running this type of configuration. It's not really an issue. I would recommend using the latest revision of the client though that supports that specific OS version. -- Joshua S. Bassi IBM Certified - AIX 4/5L, SAN, Shark Tivoli Certified Consultant - ADSM/TSM eServer S

shell front end for web client

We would like to use our help desk to handle restore request. To accomplish this we would like them to use the web client but want to have a unix shell interface for security reasons. Our client is linux version 4.2.0.0. Does anyone know of a shell script that can handle this. Reggie Johnson

Re: Transaction Log Restores

Del, >> Question is, can I still archive these log files so they can be >> applied to the previous backup? > No. You cannot. That is because Domino no longer "tracks" them. Would it be possible to manually copy the 'missing' log files back to the restore area before doing the restore? In that w

Re: Whats wrong with this EXCLUDE

Zoltan, Depending on your version, in DSMC, you can try to use the QUERY INCLEXCL command to display what TSM _THINKS_ your exclude statement says. That'll give you a real good idea what the problem is. It's resolved a few include/exclude problems for me. Hope this helps. Alex Paschal Storage

System Object / Mgmt. Classes / Policy Sets / Backup Groups -- Wh at's the best way??

Hi, I've been designated the TSM administrator here at my workplace, and I'm trying to educate myself as I go without making a mess of things. Our IBM partner came in and installed the server and a few clients, and handed it over to me. I now have about 200 Win2K clients, 40 AIX Clients, and abo

Re: ADSM to TSM

Hello, I'm running some clients at 3.7 with a TSM Server at 4.2.2.3 . I have not run across any issues. You just have to make sure you point the clients opt. file to the new servers address or name. Tivoli has a on a web site that list the Server version to clients version. Sorry I can't rec

Re: Sub-File Backup - Number of Delta File Backups

Wanda (and others using Sub-File Backup): I've just done a test upgrade to 5.1.5.1 (using a copy of prod DB) and this seems to fix my problem with subfile backups not expiring. I first upgraded to 5.1.5 ran expire inventory, checked backups, ran expire inventory checked backups - all extra subfil

Encryption

Does anybody have any evidence/research as to what kind of additional overhead encryption puts on a client when processing a backup (CPU, Memory, etc.)? I am running some tests myself, but the numbers are staggering (we're seeing up to a 300% increase in the backup time in some cases). I understa

System Object expiration with 4.2.30

Has anyone seen positive confirmation of successful SYSTEM OBJECT expiration after upgrading to 4.2.3.0? I applied 4.2.3.0 to a netstor box this morning, and two expire inventory runs have completed successfully, but I have not seen any substantial change in our SYSTEM OBJECT problem.

SMF Records

All, Does TSM write to SMF records during startup on OS/390? If so, which SMF records does it right to? -- Joshua S. Bassi IBM Certified - AIX 4/5L, SAN, Shark Tivoli Certified Consultant - ADSM/TSM eServer Systems Expert -pSeries HACMP AIX, HACMP, Storage, TSM Consultant Cell (831) 595-3962 [EM

Re: Testing the day of week in a script ....

Arnaud, TSM comes with a rich set of SQL functions. Get a hold of Andy Raibeck's "Using the SQL Interface" manual, it is very useful (search the archives to find where it is) Date functions include Day - Day of month dayname dayofweek - 1..7 Sunday..Saturday dayofyear daysinmonth daysinyear

Re: SMF Records

I thought it only wrote SMF records (type 41) for session accounting, that is, at end-of-node-session. We have some JCL that should work, perhaps with some tweaking, to get you those records. If you DO get some SMF output, would you please send me a few hundred records of it, so that we can test o
