Re: Improving TSM performance - memory related setting

Bufpoolsize should be set between 1/2 and 1/8 of the among of the total physical memory, if I remember well, that is, what best practices recommend. Also if you modify this parameter you will have to take a look at the percentage hit cache (q db f=d) that can be increase (modifying the bufpolsiz

Re: Multiple Backup Streams with exchange.

There is no method of creating parallel backup streams in the TDP for Exchange product (unlike it's SQL counterpart). The only way to accomplish something similar is to break your backup script into multiple jobs, each backing up a specific storage group. Of course, that also requires multiple no

Re: Improving TSM performance - memory related setting

Check your "SELFTUNEBUFpoolsize" setting. If its set to no, change it to yes. Then the BUFPOOLSIZE just becomes an "initial" size setting that the TSM server can adjust upward as it needs to. Our BUFPOOLSIZE is set to 262144 right now which I think for 5.2.9 is close to the max, if not so. I'll

delete volhist

I have a question about a schedule that has been running on a TSM server in our system. Each day at about 12:30 it runs this command: "del volhistory todate=-90 type=all" My question is, would anyone know of a reason to be doing this? I haven't historically set anything like this up on an

Re: delete volhist

If you don't delete the volhistory, it grows forever. If you do a PREPARE command, or send your volhistory file offsite for DR, an enormously large volhistory becomes a nuisance. OTOH, if you create backupsets or EXPORT tapes, you don't want to do the delete volhist with TYPE=ALL; that will get t

Re: Date/Time different between AIX and TSM problem

Yes, I did. And it doesn't help this particular problem. As noted in the syntax, you have to enter the start date and end date for DST. That's a manual change, since the actual start and end dates for DST are different every year. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to tell it to switch

Give it a try, Ive done this in the past, and on an empty volume, the audit process never requested a mount, but wouldn't start until the tape was updated to readw. If the audit does request a mount, just cancel it. (The cancel process might hang for awhile, because the system is waiting for a mo
