TSM storage problem

We just got a TSM server up and running (still in a testing phase but it's running). I recently tried to backup a new node I created and got this error - ANS1329S Server out of data storage space Now, the server only has an 80GB partition for data storage at the moment. That is split into 7 10GB

It's set to "No Limit". The nodes in question are a Linux/x86 and I tried a Win2k just to test it. I tried backing up maybe 200MB off the Win2k node and that failed. The Linux boxen is probably 2GB total. Nothing big at all. sim David Longo wrote: >Two quick suggestions. > >1. Your pool seem

could you explain this further? I only have one storage pool at the moment. It's using the HD and there isn't any other strg pool to move the data to. Since I'm using the HD only HD cacheing would seem to be kinda useless. Is there any problem with turning this off? What about when I add a tape

That's what I had thought also. The people who set it up (set it up for us while training us etc) said it didn't matter either. If the licensing package was not installed can it be installed afterwards? There is an option to install the licensing package (something like that. It's not too clear

I want to setup the backup client to execute a *nix shell script before it backs up. Actually it HAS to execute the script before it backs up. We have several Linux servers in our DMZ that are/will be setup to connect via VPN through our firewall for the duration of the backup (that way we don't

The problem was the license's. I contacted Tivoli support and got the license part of the server installed. After that the "reg lic" command worked fine though I did have to restart the TSM process before the license took effect. It's running fine now. Thanks everyone for the help. sim

A while back I asked about a client that my server was unable to access due to several different errors. The problem basically is that it can't find the client OR it can't access the client because it's "unavaible" i.e. busy (which it is NOT). I've found that right after booting or restarting the

Also note that, if you use the built-in backup/restore function of windows2k/XP/Server it also keys off of those registry settings. HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup It is not something that TSM sets up. It is installed with the system. I think it would also be d
