SV: Library manager on Intel VM

Hi Thomas, That is correct, you can run the Library manager server on a different platform. I think you will have problem to run TSM under VMware. Probably much easier in XEN because you can give direct access to hardware in XEN. To get VMware to get direct access via SAN to your library is poss

Re: Dealloc prohibited - transaction failed

Hi KM! I followed your suggestion 2. When I now issue a delete filespace I receive a different error: ANRD afcputil.c(1463): ThreadId <46> Volume 371653 is not defined for pool -1. ANRD ThreadId <46> issued message from: ANRD ThreadId <46> 0x000100017f78 outDiagf ANRD Thr

tsm 6 client and backup vm

I am testing the backup vm function available in the tsm 6 client. The full backup option uses a staging directory on the server. The backup is placed there and then the regular tsm backup sends it to the storage pools. Can the backup vm processs send it to the storage pools directly without sendi

Re: Colorful console mode output

Michael, Thanks for the Monday morning laugh about Windows :) Yudi, if you want to install Perl on your windows box and take a bite at Michael's script; you can install Active Perl 5.10 (http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/) then you could create and run Perl script from that "little back windo

Re: Colorful console mode output

I took a crack at playing with Michael's script and came up with this solution. I think the original script uses fancier XTerm colors, but I've been able to make this version work on Windows, Mac OS X 10.5, and SUSE Linux 9. On Windows, I use CTRL-BREAK to break out of the script. The colors I use

Wanda If you are clueless, where does that leave the rest of us? We depend on you to lead us out of the bowels of backups - navigating the good ship TSM. How can we continue??? Where do we go? Help - Richard, you are our last hope!!! OOOHHH NN, I feel the darkness of tar cu

Re: tsm 6 client and backup vm

Unless Tivoli writes their own code to perform the VCB snapshot, I don't see this happening. The way I understand it, the backup vm command is calling the vmware vcbmounter etc... commands under the covers. What you are seeing is an integration and automation of those tools. We used to have to

Large disk concerns/alternatives ?

Good day everyone, I'm looking for some workable suggestions for larger lun backups. I'm talking 1.5tb and larger lun sizes. I have a number of remote sites that have large quantities of hi-res image files and they need an offsite backup solution. Usually we are notified before the disks go into

Re: Colorful console mode output

I just have to say that we took a long thoughtful look at all 3,000- odd error messages when developing Servergraph. We decided that the I, E, and W letters are misleading. Some messages are marked W, Warning, when they indicate really serious problems, like dead tape drives. Other messages are m

Re: Large disk concerns/alternatives ?

Duane, You may find worthy to take a look at LAN-Free backups configurations. This would not only alleviate the load on your bandwidth but also decrease the backup duration. That may or may not work for you but wouldn't hurt to look into it. Good luck. BERTAUT TCHUISE TSM/NetApp Storage Adminis

Re: Administrative roles in the ISC 6.1 ISC

To adminster TSM, an ID needs the tsmAdministrator or tsmUser role, these roles are currently identical. The TSM_AdminCenter group has the tsmAdministrator role. This is all an id needs if it is just going to be used to administer TSM The reportAdministrator and reportUser are Tivoli Common Repor

Re: Large disk concerns/alternatives ?

Sumthin' wrong with those numbers. If you have a GigE pipe, you should be able to send 70-80 MB/sec. thats 400+ MB/min, 240+ GB per hour, 4+ TB in 24 hours. So, either - your clients are having performance issues with their own disks - maybe you have compression or something else slowing down th
