Usually what I do is to change the access to readwrite and let TSM use them
again. If you see that they give errors and TSM changes them back to
readonly again then you should move the data and replace them.

Are obviously very flexible and given the Perl knowledge and time

anything. I did also use some of the Perl scripting developed by

If TSM is slow to respond to anything on that system, it is likely
that the system in general is hurting, perhaps due to a runaway
process or virtual storage shortage. Your AIX Error Log and /var/adm/
messages are worth checking, as well as 'topas'. If it's only TSM,

Allen,
I too thought that LTOs might not be up to scratch for 24x7 operation, but
I recently went looking. I could only find information for generation 1 of
LTO, but both LTO1 and SDLT are rated at 250,000 hours MTBF on a 100% duty
cycle.
Now that figure may be playing with engineering numbers,
Geoff,
Another place to look is at your disk subsystem - from the host controller
all the way to physical disks. I've seen disk units having problems, but
no errors being recorded on the host (TSM) server. If you start having to
retry every disk operation a few times, performance degrades signi

I find that this Technote is the best overview for BMR of the Windows

It covers the process with and without ASR.

I need something with some of TSM's abilities. I have enough
disk space on the 'backup' server that I can rsync all other
servers to the backup server, however the amount of data to
backup is greater than the tape size. I could use multi-volume
tars, though I prefer to be more 'hands-off' than that

I need a backup to run on Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. If I create
a backup schedule that starts on a Monday, Period = 2, Period Unit=Days,
Day of Week=weekday will this backup schedule always run on Monday, Wed,
Friday only? Or will it begin by running on M,W,F and then sinc
Use SCHEDStyle=Enhanced and DAYofweek=M,W,F

Hello Rama,
I don't have the TSM server at 5.3 yet. I am only at 5.2.7.1, so I don't
believe that that capability is there for my level of TSM code. Is that
correct?

You can also use: QUERY CONTENT COPIED=NO
Or check the output from QUERY OCCUPANCY command to see if
the number of files in primary Pools = number in copy pools.
Also see IC49768 for information on files that aren't copied, even
though the backup stg processing completes successfully.

TSM is very complex. It has a lot of options and features. Training

not as a means to discuss the non-intuitive parts of the product and
how to get around them. There are too many of them. Why not address

We are running 5.3.
I'll echo Paul's comments with one additional: SDLT is not helical scan,
AIT and SAIT are. SDLT uses serial serpentine as well, but their basic
technology is different. LTO3 wins the day from a market share
standpoint, though the newest SDLT have higher capacity at a lower cost
