Hi Marc, There are two ways to have some informations. For pre-5.5 servers, you can use the REPORTRETRIEVE server option (dsmserv.opt) which reports to ACTLOG. Look at the Administrator's Reference about that. With 5.5 clients, you can try the new AUDITLOGGING client option wich reports to

Problems with TSM and the /opt directory on linux

- Where the filespace name within a directory path is ambiguous, you can enclose it in braces to make it clear to TSM. - Rather than attempting the Restore command right off the bat, utilize Query Backup first as a "restoral simulator" to test that it's going at the right thing and will return th

I think it's complaining about the destination for the restore, not the files you are trying to restore. I would try specifying a temp directory as the restore target, see what results you get. On 3/12/08, Richard Sims <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > - Where the filespace name within a directory

Interesting. That works -- outside of not showing the "ibm_help" directory and contents. Oh, crap! I think I see what's going on . . . The files showing in /opt are all from 2002 -- when this node was an rs-6000 running AIX and /opt was a filesystem. Looks like I need to do a bit of deletion

Good point - I assume a tape error (one of those cases where TSM is doing lots and lots of retries to read the same marginal tape) would show the session in RUN state, not in SENDW. I've seen this issue before when the client wasn't set to full duplex, but then you wouldn't have gotten your 206 GB
