Sleeping computers

2011-03-04 Thread Buddy Howeth
I have a question. We have quite a few desktops that we backup using TSM. But we have a problem with computers going to sleep after the user leaves for the day. We asked our users to change their power settings to prevent this but power settings are per user and sometimes over the course of time

DB PiT restore with 6.2.1

2011-03-04 Thread Andreas Priebe
Hi, We are new to TSM6 and are testing TSM DB restore using TSM 6.2.1 on AIX 6. Restoring to the most current state works fine. Point in time restore seems to work only to the nearest full or incremental backup, e.g. if we have backups: Full 10:00 Incr 11:00 Incr 12:00 and want to restore to

I have 9 LTO-4 drives connected to our TSM server, only 5 of them work at any time after upgrading to a new fiber card. We have tried two different fiber cards (qlogic and emulex) and still only 5 drives. We have Confirmed latest drivers and firmware with IBM support. The old 2gig fiber card

Re: Installing tsm 6.2.2.0 client on redhat enterprize linux 6

2011-03-04 Thread Robert Talda
Thanks, David - we ran into this as well here, and this reply was a big help. Looking back the installation instructions for the TSM client for Linux v5.5 and v6.1 show that TIVsm-API.i386.rpm is required for 64-bit systems, so this seems like an error that has crept into the latest documentation.

Update: SQLLiteSpeed backups hanging when moved to TSM server on RHEL5.

An update: We've gathered packet captures, from both client and servers. We've even found some servers running RHEL 5.4 that aren't exhibiting the failure. We're currently checking on the LACP config and NIC firmware. Does anyone have any feedback on gathering strace output for dsmserv under RH

Would probably be somewhat helpful to know what platform you are running on also, does the OS see the 9 devices or do just 5 appear available any given time? ~Rick -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Laks, Brian Sent: Friday, M

Deletion Backup Client Object with a FileList

2011-03-04 Thread Hart, Charles A
We are trying to script the deletion of old RMAN backup objects (we'd use TDPOSync if it wasn't ver 2.x and didn't core dump) so we were going to delete the RMAN objects from the dsmc cmd line then RMAN would do a crosscheck to drop the orphans from the RMAN catalog. When you display the q backup

EXPORT TOSERVER

What are the TSM server version restrictions when doing an EXPORT NODE to another server? I have a client that wants to install a TSM 6.2 server and export some data from their existing 5.3 TSM server. I've been searching and must not have the right combination on keywords, but I'm not finding any

Hi Andrew, We don't have all the details, but we appear to have a work around. When going through all the TSM servers comparing settings, the servers had no TCPWINDOWSIZE specified. All seervers were defaulted to 63k. (64512) Even though we expect TSM to request 63k tcpwindows when opening the s

Re: Deletion Backup Client Object with a FileList

2011-03-04 Thread Steven Harris
Hello Charles You can see RMAN objects using dsmc, but you can't delete them from there. One option is to use a select on the backups table to get the object id of the item you want to delete and use delete object to perform the deletion. I just did this with an unruly database and it works fin
