TSM multi libraries in a single stgpool

SV: How to remove scratch tapes from stgpool

2011-07-06 Thread Christian Svensson
If the tapes are listed as scratch they are not dedicated to a storage pool anymore. But if you want to delete a tape or volume from a storage pool you just tape "del vol VOLUMENAME" If you mean it still in Volhistory you can type del volhist type= volume=x tod=+0 force=yes Best Regar

Can't backup 6.2 server after library switch

Servers are RH Linux 6.2.2.2 and 6.1.4.3 Last week, we had some strange issues (don't ask - this one is for Shark Tank) with one of our 6.2.2.2 TSM servers, which is one of 2-Library Managers for our 3494ATL. So, in the interim we quickly moved the LM function to my 6.1.4.3 server, shuffled all

TSM 6.2.2 client install disables 5.5 server

Oh, this is too weird. TSM 5.5.4.2 server on Win2k3. Just upgraded the client on the same box from 5.5 to 6.2.2 so we can use SNAPDIFF to back up a Netapp. Installing the 6.2.2 CLIENT disables the SERVER. Yep. Didn't think it was possible. DSMSERV message is ANR8591, "IBM GSKIT V7 must be install

HI Wanda, apparently the gskit version that comes with the 6.2 client is to new for the 5.5 server. I guess you have two options: run the snapdiff on a different host, or upgrade the TSM server to 6.2 Be aware that the 6.2 server comes with a 6.1 API, and you must not upgrade that API

Or, if you want to go all-out, use eRMM - see http://www-935.ibm.com/services/de/igs/pdf/br-stor-enterprise-remove-mm-en.p df that way, you can have many libraries managed by eRMM. TSM uses the external library manager capability to have a storage pool cover many libraries. Joerg Pohlmann -

There is no reason a single library can't have multiple device classes. If I thought I would ever need to run multiple libraries, I'd be tempted to create multiple device classes, one per tape storage pool. Then if it ever became necessary to move a pool to another library, it would be a simple

Have you done an audit library on the 6.2 server? It almost sounds like it has a different view of your scratch tapes than the LM does. David >>> Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU 7/6/2011 12:17 PM >>> Servers are RH Linux 6.2.2.2 and 6.1.4.3 Last week, we had some strange issues (don't ask - this one is f

Funny you should mention audit. Why would I do an audit on a server that is a "library client"? I don't think that is possible. I tried to do an audit on the now library manager/6.1.4.3 server - both "checklabel=barcode" and just a simple "audit library". After running for >1-hour (and hanging

An audit library run on a library client "claims" all the tapes that the library manager has that belong to the client. You'll want to use the checklabel=barcode and run it at a time that tape volumes are not in use. David >>> Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU 7/6/2011 2:32 PM >>> Funny you should mention a

You will need to delete the volhist entries at the old library manager for all the type "remote" tapes. I did this recently and loosely based what I did on this: http://www.tsmadmin.com/2006/03/how-to-setup-library-manager-instance.html There is some good information on there, but it might not fi

Interesting read. So basically, since almost everything mounted on a server other than the old LM was "remote", they all need to be removed from the volhist on the old LM? I have again tried running audits on the new LM but it always hangs. I ran a few on a couple of the LC servers and most ran

The audit on the LM will wait until there is no library activity and there are no pending tape mount requests and maybe even wait until all drives are dismounted. I found I need to have everything quiet in order for it to run. The alternative is to checkout everything with remove=no and check ever
