For a Library to do its own audit, then yes you want to take the drives offline. However, you will need one drive online and empty when you want TSM to synchronize its Library audit with the physical library audit. Ray C On Sep 26, 2010, at 10:23 AM, Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT wrote: > We tak

Not sure if it is related, but we could not use LTO5 media in our LTO5 drives until we updated to version 5.5.5.0. Ray On Oct 26, 2010, at 7:14 PM, Rodney Luk wrote: > We replaced 4 LTO3 tape drives with new LTO5 drives in our 3584 library. The > library has 4 LTO3 and 4 LTO5 tape drives now. A

I have a few Solaris 9 5.5.3 clients and some Linux 5.5.1 clients working with a 6.3.0 server. their just not supported. Be aware that NODE REPLICATION of a 6.3.0 Client to a 6.3.0 Server will sometimes fail because of wanting data from your offsite DR tapes. IBM is supposedly working on a fix

I had a similar problem, tape changing to unavailable, a few months back. In my case, it was a problem with how the tape was identified. The Library, an XLS, had it as "123456". TMS has "123456" as a scratch tape and also had tape "123456L4" as the tape I wanted. I had to check "123456" out

You can try audit of the various volumes. Also, if you are using Deduplication, there is a know problem of TSM losing the source data on versions prior to 6.3.2.01. Ray On Aug 27, 2012, at 9:56 AM, Dan Olson wrote: > Hi all, > > After a mass restore attempt pulling from 800+ volumes I've got a

Missing source data for Deduplication in 6.3.x

2012-08-29 Thread Ray Carlson
Is anyone else having the problem of TSM saying that it is missing the source data for Deduplicated data? This is causing some of our "Generate Backupset" and some of our restore jobs to fail. Unfortunately, unless you run some job that actually attempts to use or restore from the missing data

FYI - We had all the normal settings and still lost our source dedupe data while running 6.3.0 to 6.3.1, and no TSM was not smart enough to figure out it was gone and back up a fresh copy. We are currently at 6.3.2.7. It was one of the 6.3.2.x updates, released around 10/1/2012, that finally f

Out of curiosity, had the data been DeDuped when it was on the Disk, before it was migrated to tape, and then moved back to disk? We saw many problems with data corruption and damaged files when this was done with a TSM server prior to 6.3.3. Ray On Jun 19, 2013, at 11:20 AM, Andrew Raibeck wro
