Dan,
Your basic concept of using a VTL is right on. The concept would be to
use the VTL to get the data off of the SAN as fast as possible and free
up the TSM server(s). I can't speak for other VTL's but the Gresham VTL
uses disk as a cache so it stages the data onto disk and then would
transfer
Tom,
Thank you for the information.
What if the line between the main site and the remote site went down? It would
not complete the backup without a second TSM server correct?
Thank You,

Dan,
As long as there was cache space available, the TSM server would
complete backups to the local VTL and they would stay in cache until the
line came back up again. Then they would transfer to the main site and
onto physical tape. That is why it is good practice to size the cache
for several
Tom,
I guess what I am trying to say that if the connection is severed between the
remote site and the main site TSM functions would cease as there was not a TSM
server to tell the client what needed to be backed up(ie no access to TSM
Database). If we were to place a 2nd TSM/VTL in the remote
Some years back we decided it did not make sense to store the TSM DB in the
tape library since the loss of the TSM server would mean loss of access to
the volume.
Using virtual volumes stored on a 2nd server changes that in that it is seen
as archived data on the 2nd server.Some questions come to
Dan,
Oh, I'm sorry. I guess that I didn't make myself clear. It sounds like
you are talking about a large TSM server at the main site with clients
at the remote sites. That is not what I was talking about. The
configuration that I had envisioned was smaller TSM servers at the
remote sites conn
Hello everyone,
I am trying to eject all tapes from my SL8500 library by using the move
media function and it keeps failing on tape N00810. Upon further
inspection it appears as if N00810 is "missing" physically from the
library.

Is this the famous "mountable, not in library" problem? If so, try
searching the adsm-l archives for "mountable not in library hell"
written by me. I detailed the steps required to get beyond the hell of
this...

Hi Kelly,
Actually it is appearing as mountableinlibrary, but within the physical
library which is a SUN SL8500 it looks like it's missing:

Thanks, we did some checking as to TSM's behavior if a file system drops
during a backup. It correctly sees that files that should exist no longer
do and puts up an error. We were concerned that our window of vulnerability
might extend past the running of the preschedulecmd. Again, thanks for

I assume you did an audit library...
In fact, I would probably do a synchronize library:
Audit library libname checklabel=barcode
Checkin library libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch
Checkin library libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private
That will find all the volum
Just a system programmer's tip in this area:
In Unix, you can quickly test for a given mount point directory name
being occupied or not occupied with a mount by performing the command
'ls -di' on it: if the inode number reported is 2, then a mount is
present there, which is to say that it is then
Hi Kelly,
The problem is that the tape is missing out in our library and nothing I
do seems to skip this tape in the move media process. I have tried to use
acc=destroyed then unavailable, then readwrite and just do the move media
command with rem=no checkl=no. Shouldn't that then put the tape i
Joni,
Have you tried doing a regular CHECKOUT LIBVOL with checklabel=no? If that
works, you can then mark it as "unavailable" until you find it.

Hi Nick,
That worked! Thank you so much!

I don't know if you remember I had emailed the list a while ago about a

Ya, we were looking at perhaps purchasing a bunch of licenses to convert
a site from Veritas Netbackup to TSM and the number is shocking. Ours
come in somewhere a little above $2000 per host on average.
Here is the basic CPU configuration of these 291 server-class machines.

Yep, that sounds accurate.
And much as I like TSM, we are having to look elsewhere to back up our
environment. I know IBM probably doesn't care, but not everyone can afford
that.
