Hi Nicholas.
This is the perfect use for an active data pool on tape.
When the storm approaches run a final incremental backup and any extra
TDP backups that you need and then run copy activedata. Take a database
snapshot and send it and your active data pool tapes to the alternate
location.
We want to use the CAD because we want to be able to use the Web Client too.
Surely someone else has already run into this problem by now?

Hi,
Did you try to specify a user also? To verify that tdpmapi can access that user.

Greetings,
Our environement is 8 TSM instances on AIX, running AIX 5.3ML11, and
TSM 5.4.3.0. I know we are rather far behind, but this has been an
extremely stable version for us, until just recently. There are 4
instances on one AIX host, and 4 on the other. The hosts are pSeries
570s. There
Sounds like maybe the library manager is not communicating with the VTL.
Some things to check:
- any errors in the AIX error log?
- any errors in the VTL?
- any san errors?
If you are running atape . . .
- check the logs in /var/adm/ras
- are you running multi-pathing? If yes, what is the status
The problem is that is don't know how to use the tdpmapi.exe testmapi command.
I'm agooglin'

Also have to wonder if maybe the VTL hasn't lost multiple drives in a raid
array and is (possibly) working off of parity or at minimum, rebuilding on a
spare drive though that would generally happen and be done with (not be
seen over and over again) but... if you have a raid array that has lost

Thank you for the email.
Clearly there's a discrepancy around the capacity required for your

sure how EMC is sizing their solution. I do know through experience, that EMC

Excellent, thanks sir!
I'll give the 6.1.3.5 a try.
I'll see if I can find this newer APAR you mentioned. I'd like to
understand exactly what the problem is.

Just got a call from Tivoli support that development sees this as a bug and
will produce a fix. Thanks, anyway!

Richard,
All good suggestions. No AIX errors with the VTL or VTL drives. We
are using the Atape driver, because the VTL is emulating a 3584 with
LTO1 drives.
But there are a number of Atape files, in particular Atape.smc0.traceX.
I look in them and see regular errors in them; but I wonder if
One time when we had problems like this it was caused by rmt devices being
out of sync with TSM paths. We never did figure out how it occured, but we
ended up blowing away all our paths and drives, and recreating it.

Richard,
We have looked at the EDL console, and the EDL is not full, or
getting any other errors. But we have seen situations before where a
memory leak in the EDL caused it to just run out of swap space on the
engine, and cause various errors and hangs.
It is conceivable that we are just
Wanda,
We just now took down all our virtual tape drives, and rebooted the
EDL engine. So we will see tonight if that is the problem.
We also looked at our schedules, to see if it is possible that we
have too many schedules in too narrow a timeframe asking for tape
mounts, pushing the lib
Dwight,
As I said in my original email, we did have a drive fail on 8/23, and
the EDL rebuilt onto a spare. The event log shows it took about a day
to rebuild. So it doesn't look like it is running in degraded mode at
this point. I will call in the problem and get the drive replaced, but
