I started a gui restore, of the C drive, on an NT server about an hour
ago. The server has only restored 1.2G and I'm told contains about 8G of
data. Is there something I can do to restore faster? The TSM server
version is 5.1.1 and the client version is 5.2.0. Also, if I cancel the

It seems our server has locked up. We are copying our storage pools to our
copypool and nothing seems to be moving, no counts are increasing. Our
server level is 5.1.1. We have 10 tape drives, all online. 8 are in use
and 2 are reserved. Has anyone had this problem before? The dsmserv.err
log doesn
Actually, I'm thinking it was a tape conflict. We had a node backup
waiting 7 hrs for media. However, the node backup started 3 hours before
the copy pool backups. Once I cancelled the node backup everything started
running again.
I will go through the activity log again, more thoroughly this time
I was looking at the database tables and trying to find a way to get the
node names, backup start and end times and the amount of data backed up,
into an excel spread sheet. We backup over 100 servers a night and the
operations people manually go throught the activity log to find, and

server ... It work great (also with pre-5.2.2 servers) and no additional
costs.
It's to check everydays work.
If you want the tool let me know and I'll mail it (approx 17 MB).

We had a Windows 2003 box which had to have the C drive rebuilt a couple
of weeks ago. The TSM software was on the D drive and was not disturbed.
However, we just noticed the backup has not run since 6/13. The
dsmsched.log has a next start date of 6/14. I believe I need to load

How do you restart the scheduler process on a Window 2000 machine. Also,
if I decide to use CAD, how do I implement it?

I have 2 questions I hope someone can help me with.,
How does TSM gather data to do a backup? I thought when a backup started,
TSM made a list of files to backup and backed up only those files.
However, we started a backup, yesterday at 2:00 PM, and there was only 38G
of data to be backed up on t
We have reduced the number of file versions to keep from 14 to 7 on one
of our clients, the primary storage pool is the tape pool. When we display
the number of versions in TSM we can see there are 7, as expected. Is
there a way to see if we have reclaimed tapes in our primary tape pool?
Our TSM
Currently, we have a 3494 tape library and 3590 tape drives and 3590 tapes.
We are planning to get a couple of 3592 tape drives. My question is, will
we be able to use the 3590 tapes in the 3592 tape drives? I would think
since the capacity of the 3590 tapes is only 20G/40G it would not be a good

I ran the script as a server script. I was not able to cancel the session,
we had to bounce the server.
Is there any information on how to code scripts for TSM? If I remember
correctly, it's a btrieve database. Currently, I've only dealt with Oracle
databases and know PL/SQL code.
I'm trying to perform a restore between two Novell servers. I need to know
the command line entry to restore pjihelp\vol1\support to
pjinwapps01\restore.
I am doing the restore on pjinwapps01 and my dsm.opt file has a
virtualnodename pjihelp.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Debbie
This doc offers alot of information about improving performance. I'm
especially interested in this because it took 56 minutes to restore 6.24G
of data, from Novell server to Novell server, over a 100MB pipe.
Our TSM version is 5.1.1 ( I know,,,we need to upgrade)...and the client
version is 5.2.
Oops, I meant to include that in the email. The bottom of this doc shows the transfer rates..

Our storage pool is colloated,,,there are only 3 volumes used for this
server's backed up data. Also, there were no tape drive contention
problmes when I ran the restore...that's why this is so puzzling.

also a big winner when restoring "slow" FS's as Netware and NTFS.

Is there any benefit to having the resourceutilization parameter set to 5
when the backup is collocated? The other sessions go into media wait
status, waiting on a tape that one of the other sessions is using. Does
this cause contention, slowing the server down?

I'm trying to query the summary table, but, I don't want any information
for schedules with 0 bytes. I've tried <>, !=, and ^=. None of these work.
This is the error I receive:
ANR2916E The SQL data types DECIMAL(18,0) and CHAR(1) are incompatible for
operator '<>'.
I did see the decimal field, with a (p,s) of (18,0). However, I didn't
realize the quotes were not needed,,,
I'll also check out the redbook that Wanda suggested
