Referencing archives by name

2000-10-23 Thread Robert Cross
This might be an RTFM question, in which case, many apologies. Is there anyway to reference an archive (for retrieval, deletion, etc), purely by the text in the description field from the command line? It's a piece of cake to do from the GUI, but I'm trying to work out how to do a retrieval when

ADSM time?

2000-10-26 Thread Robert Cross
a 3494 library - any idea where the server software would take it's date/time from? Reason I ask is that currently the ADSM server is about one month and one hour ahead of the AIX server upon which it sits. Thanks for the input. Robert Cross. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

TSM/Solaris 2.6 client problems

2000-10-26 Thread Robert Cross
Has anyone run into problems running either the TSM 3.7.2 or 4.1.1 clients on Solaris 2.6 with the latest patch level? I've got a 105181-23 kernel running and the GUI client collapses with a segmentation fault, the command line gives "ANS9505E unkown: cannot initialize DM services. Reason: Operat

Restore an archive with the description?

2000-11-21 Thread Robert Cross

Impatient clients on ADSM with 3494

I've got a funny 'fault' with our system, (3.1.2.40 server with attached four drive 3494), as follows: Clients set restores going, and most of the time there's no problems. But, every so often, we get a restore which needs data on a lot of tapes, (for example 30 or more). Invariably this restore

ADSM -> TSM

2000-09-04 Thread Robert Cross
This might be a dumb question - in which case apologies. Has anyone got any good reason why we shouldn't go directly from ADSM 3.1.2.50 server (AIX) to TSM 4.1, missing out the TSM3.7 step? Just wondering if there were any 'gotchas' that meant it was better to do the upgrade as ADSM->v3.7->v4.1.
