Good morning,
I’m looking for good hardware specs for a new TSM server (SLES 10 or 11 on
x86_64). I’m thinking about:
2 quad core CPU’s
32 GB RAM (two TSM instances might be active)
2 RAID controllers: one for the database (RAID 1) and one for the db2 log files
(RAID 1)
RAID 5 disk sto

Or use the (just released) TS3500 CLI:

Just ran into what looks like apar ic63839.
Looked it up in the support page, says projected to be fixed in 6.3.4, then
says it is closed, but nowhere do I see info on how or where to get the fix.
This would be helpful information to provide. Anyone have this?
Thanks for the help.

We have a need to back up a single sqlserver database which only changes yearly.
Would like to back up once, then remove from the sqlserver.
It will then be rebacked up in approximately 1 year.
Been through the tdp for sqlserver manual, but I know little of sqlserver.
Is this just a management cla
We are running TSM 5.4 server on an AIX machine with our clients(Windows
2003/2008) running also running TSM 5.4.
My question is we changed permissions on all our files on 1 of our servers 32
days ago which caused them all to be backed up again.
We have a 30 day policy on the files for retention
Hi Eric,
do you keep more than n versions of a file? Have a look at your config of

Hi Eric,
When you say, "We have a 30 day policy", could you send the output of a `Q

Neither 5.5.3 nor 6.1.4 is out yet.
When they are, you get them from the usual download site.

Hi Gary,
How long do you want to keep the older backups on the TSM Server?
Many times I see customers set their policy based on time not versions.
For example, to keep the DP/SQL backups for 3 years:
VEREXISTS nolimit
VERDELETED nolimit
RETEXTRA 1095
RETONLY 1095
But... it all depend
NEAT!! Apar is closed, but fix is unavailable. Guess I tell my users, you'll
get a clean back up some day.
This isn't helping me keep tsm at our shop.
Rant off.

When you say "sporadically", do you mean this tape is really OK and the errors
are transient?
If you run AUDIT on this tape on the same drive, at another time, does the tape
read OK?
Or does the same tape always fail?

Sorry for the false alarm. Another admin was doing the installs and I did not
initially question the work.
TDPSQL error ACO5716W can also be caused by the dsm.opt file not being present
in the TDPSQL directory.
The text of the message indicates the API is not installed, but does not say it

As you indicate, John, wacky stuff. The
Version 6.2.0.0 of the AIX client was posted last night, March 18,
along with the rest of 6.2, both client and server.
IBM says the 6.2 clients are supported on servers back to 5.4.

Marcel,
This addresses the need quite effectively. This can be incorporated
into a script which could send out an email alert any time the number of
total cleanings drops below a certain threshold, so the admin at a
remote site doesn't have to check manually.
Thanks for the info.

A few years ago, when TSM was first implemented here, the ADIC i2000 was
set so that the L3 suffix was not passed to TSM.
For many reasons I would like to change this to include the suffix.
The main problem I see is that when we need to read from any of the old
tapes, TSM will look for the old tap
Amazingly enough, if you do not rename the library, it may not have an
effect at all. I have LTO2's and LTO3's in the same library, the LTO2's
were mostly all labeled before we turned on the full label viewing for
the LTO3's. The interesting thing is that to this day (almost 2 years

Barcode label is not TSM label. You can use barcodes as source for TSM tape
labels (labelsource), to speed up inventory and for some other operations - but
you dont have to if you want. So you shouldn't have any problems with old tapes.

Hi Adrian
I used to believe that the recommendation to use separate HBAs for disk
and tape traffic was just that and could be safely ignored. However we
had a customer with a large Exchange infrastructure, Lan free and shared
traffic that had repeated backup corruptions. The appropriate people
dbdirlist doesn't appear to get updated when you add space to the DB. So don't
even bother looking there.

NO NO NO NO NO (I just wanted to emphasize this)
6.2 clients are supported on servers back to 5.5.

I forgot the "checkl=yes" instead of "checkl=barcode" when checking in
tapes. This has been bugging me for a more than a year! Can't believe I
forgot that. Go ADSM-L !!
I just need to make sure and do that for all old tapes and we should be

I need a sanity check. We're trying to implement new virtual tape devices on
new devices with our existing set-up, including some storage agents and a
handful of NDMP clients. The storage agents, no problem. We know how to do
storage agents. The NetApp filers? No problem; they're just like stora
Nick,
Very quickly - yes, shared is how I've worked with them in the past
(about 4 or 5 years ago though). No promises, but I'll see if I can
dig something out from how we did it when I'm in front of my PC again.
