Because you are not managing packages using rpm, it cannot find the prerequsites. Therefore you have to check whether the necessary modules are installed yourself, and ask rpm to avoid checking for them: rpm -i --nodeps TIVsm-API.i386.rpm Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Ewald Jenisch <[EMAIL PR

The server searches through *available* (having status read-only or read-write, and checked in a library) copypool volumes in alphabetical order. You can also override which copy to be used by specifying "restore stg copy=". If one of the copies is not checked in or the volume is not in readable s

So it seems that all three drives are acceptable for DLT operations. Observing that usually TSM picks drives in alphabetical order and later does some sort of round-robin, I would name them to have DLT drive preceding SDLTs. This ought to give it slightly better priority for DLT operations but I wo

Re: Controlling nodes - storage pool migrations

2003-11-08 Thread Zlatko Krastev
There is no method to convince the TSM server to skip the biggest node (AFAIK). But the workaround is quite straightforward - define separate stgpool for that node and use the existing stgpool for the rest. Also the node with 200 GB might be very good candidate for direct-to-tape backups/restores.

Many times discussed on this list: The web-client needs connection from intranet to DMZ on port 1581 (usually firewalls allow that direction).

Re: space reclamation on a server storage pool?

2003-11-08 Thread Neil Schofield
John Zlatko is right. Since only TSM1 knows what is on the virtual volume, only TSM1 can perform reclamation of the virtual volume. The TSM designers then had a design choice about how this is acomplished. The obvious way is for reclamation of the virtual volume to be accomplished by mounting the

If you want to have those databases on real high-end disk storage, you can use EMC Symmetri
