As stated previously, TSM will not give you the original file size OR the real size after compression on the back end. So all you can look at is file counts. Another possible approach to the file counts is sampling When I had to do this, I actually pulled ALL the entries from the backup table fo

Depends on your situation... one solution: We created an admin account (ex. QUERY), that is granted no authority. Which means it can do queries, but can't change anything. For scripts that just do queries, we use that admin id and don't sweat whether it's hackable. Now in theory somebody could fi

You can select from the BACKUPS table. One of the columns is "filespace_name", so you can restrict your queries to just the files you are interested in. E.G., select hl_name, ll_name, state, date(backup_date) from backups where node_name='XXX' and filespace_name <> 'SYSTEM OBJECT' The BACKUPS

2003-06-11 Thread Prather, Wanda
Agreed. Been there, done that before- Since your tapes are in PENDING status, they haven't been written over (which is what PENDING is for.) So if you roll your DB back, they will be readable. 'Course, you gotta either take your system down, or have a "test" TSM server to do it with. Grab yourse

We share between OS/390 and Windows TSM. The systems share the services of the library manager, the robot arm, and the inventory slots, but not the drives. That is, your drives must be dedicated to either one or the other. Also, your tape ranges-scratch pools must be dedicated. The mainframe dri

We have a Win2K TSM server with a point-to-point Ethernet connection to a 3494 library with 3- 3590 fibre drives. I think that is exactly the same setup as using 3590 SCSI drives, except of course for the type of cable. Now that 3494 is also attached to a mainframe and has 2 ESCON controllers and

If your client is at least 4.2, and you do not have a restrictive DOMAIN statement in dsm.opt, a scheduled incremental includes backup systemobject. Check the scheduler log, you will see several messages like "Backup System Object: Event log", "Backup System Object: Registry", etc. that let you

DIRECTORIES are always bound to the management class with the longest retention period, not necessarily the default management class. That probably explains what is happening. Look at using the DIRMC parameter in the dsm.opt file. It lets you specify which management class you want the directorie

Will also depend on the complexity of your client environment. One TSM adminstrator scales up very well; you don't get a lot of extra work on the server end when you go from 100 clients to 200. But, who is managing the extra 100 clients? Dan's note doesn't mention the work required on that end.
