3583 Inventory Command

2003-12-15 Thread Mike Crawford
Is there any way to report the barcodes of tapes physically in a 3583?
I'm able
to see the barcodes one at a time, using the Remote Management Unit (web
interface), but I'd prefer a comman-line approach.

Using tapeutil (under Solaris) doesn't quite cut it, unless there is
something
I'm not seeing.

The command:
tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/1smc -o inv

reports all the cells, and whether media is present, but not the barcode
label.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

Re: 3583 Inventory Command

2003-12-15 Thread Bill Smoldt
Mike,

The unsupported TSM command

dsmadmc SHOW SLOTS library_name -id=admin -password=password

will normally show the slots, element numbers, and barcodes.  However, I've
notice that it sometimes shows barcodes and sometimes doesn't, just as the
lbtest utility.  I've never discovered what the difference is when it works.

Do you need to include volumes that aren't checked into TSM?  If not, Q
LIBVOL will show the barcode and home element number of each volume that is
checked into the library via TSM, although it doesn't show the slot number
or tapes that aren't yet checked in.

Re: Anyone running TSM on Linux

2003-12-15 Thread Patrick Boutilier
We are using 5.2.1.x on RedHat 8.0 . We were using RedHat 7.2 since it
is supported in versions up to 5.1.7.x but I could not upgrade from
5.1.6.x to 5.1.7.x or 5.2.x.x because none of my NFS mounted volumes
would vary online. I kept getting this error for all my volumes.
/var/tsm/tsmnfs5/backup13/netwaredisk240.dsm is in use by another server

Been running smooth on RedHat 8.0 though. And I could upgrade TSM
version after upgrading from RedHat 7.2 to 8.0 :-)

Performance is at least as good as on a similar spec'd production machine

formatting disk volumes always seems to go faster on Windows than *nix - can
anyone explain why? Alas I have only DASD available for storage in the Linux
machine so I can't commit on the tape drives you mentioned. Also, I've had
no need (as yet ;-) to call support, but I guess it's as good as IBM support
usually is. No reason to expect any different, especially taking into
account IBM's focus on Linux. Or did you mean device/kernel support? I found

Hello all -

We currently have TSM running on Solaris and have had it for about 6 years
now.  We are thinking about switching to Linux - Does anyone have answers
to the following:
1. Anyone running TSM on Red Hat Linux AS 2.1?
2. Anyone running TSM on a X360?
3. How is the performance, stability?
4. How is the TSM support for Linux?
5. TSM on Red Hat with AIT2 or AIT3 tape drives?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Netware Cluster config question

2003-12-15 Thread David Longo
I have TSM server 4.2.3.4 and am setting up a Netware 6.0 Cluster with
TSM client 5.1.6.0.  The Netware Admin is doing most of this.  He says
that he needs to unload dsmc in a NCF file.  However it prompts
you if you really want to do this etc. The NCF script doesn't allow passing 
parameters to the unload command.

How should he do this?

Re: Netware Cluster config question

2003-12-15 Thread Wolfgang Bayrhof
Hi David,

you shouldn't execute unload dsmc by a ncf-batch, because there's a good chance to 
crash the NetWare server with this command. That's probably the reason for the prompt. 
Additionally all DSMC stanzas of all cluster-resources on the corresponding node would 
be unloaded by the ncf-file of one cluster-resource.

However, we run several cluster configurations with NetWare 6.0 and use the 
recommended way by using DSMCAD.NLM. You can copy this NLM and use one copy for each 
cluster-resource. By unloading the correct DSMCADxx.NLM you get just the right stanza 
down. The loaded DSMCADxx.NLM will load the DSMC.NLM, when it is needed and unload it, 
when not.

Best regards,
Wolfgang Bayrhof

Exchange backup performance

2003-12-15 Thread Redell, Greg S.
Hello all,

I am trying to see if anyone has any quick suggestions on backing up
Exchange 2000.  I am seeing some horrible performance as you can see
from the below stats.  This server has never had speedy TDP backups,
BAclient backups normally are in the 10MB/sec range.

The connection is a gigabit connection, from the tcp transfer tests I
have done with WSTTCP I should be able to hit 18MB/sec.

My Domino servers with 350Gb of data on the same network hit upwards of
14MB/sec.  One thing that I am noticing is that store.exe is consuming
90% of the cpu.

These stats are from a full backup taken when no-one else was using the
TSM server or the exchange server.

SNMP Setup for TSM 5.1.8.0 on Win2K Server

2003-12-15 Thread Dwight McCann
Following the instructions in
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/WG-20020522-DM01.htm
I was able to get SNMP resource monitoring functioning on my Win2K box
which acts as my TSM Server.  Now I'd like to be able to access the TSM
SNMP functions through the subagent, but am somewhat at a loss.  The
Admin Guide isn't very clear about a number of aspects of this process
but it suggests that it can't use the W2K SNMP agent.  Has anyone tried
this interface for other than Netview?  I'd like to use it with What's
Up Gold or MRTG and could use some guidance.  I found nothing in the
ADSM archives or Redbooks ... perhaps I missed it?

We have added another extended the database by means of another dataase

Intermittant TSM Server - Database stops

2003-12-15 Thread Pole, Stephen
TSM'ers

Being the first time attempting such as process here is a plan

1. Perform database backup
2. Copy to another location (other machine)
a) dsmserv.opt
b) dsmserv.dsk
c) volhist (volume history file)
d) devconfig ( device config file)

3. Set the server to start in quiet mode. Modify the server dsmserv.opt
a) change client ports to 15000 (Stops client from logging on)
b) set expinterval to 0 as this prevents inventory from expiring
starting immediately after a server startup.
c) add NOMIGRRECL to prevent TSM from starting space reclamation or
migration.
d) Set DISABLESCHEDS to YES (this prevents any TSM Schedules from
running

4.  Edit devconfig file to contain file deveice class to store the
unloaded database on it.
define declass fileclass devtyep=file mountlimit=5 maxcap=5G
dir=/tsmtemp

5. From Server directory run DSMSERV UNLOADDB DEVclass=fileclass

Then we will perform the following steps after a successful UNLOADDB. This
is to ensure that the files created for the database and recovery logvolumes
do not exist on the system otherwise LOADFORMAT process will fail.

6. Create file called /usr/temp/LOGVOL.TXT. Edit the file to contain the
following:-
var/tsm/tsmlog/log01.dsm 512
var/tsm/tsmlog/log02.dsm 512
var/tsm/tsmlog/log03.dsm 512
var/tsm/tsmlog/log04.dsm 512

7. Create a file called /usr/temp/DBVOL.TXT, edit the file to contain the
following:-
/var/tsm/tsmdb1/db01.dsm 5000
/var/tsm/tsmdb1/db02.dsm 5000
/var/tsm/tsmdb1/db03.dsm 5000
/var/tsm/tsmdb1/db04.dsm 5000

8. From server directory issue DSMSERV loadformat 4
FILE:/usr/temp/LOGVOL.TXT 4 FILE:/usr/temp/DBVOL.TXT

9. DSMSERV LOADDB DEVclass=fileclass
VOLumenames=/tsmtemp/volname1,/tsmtemp/volname2,
/tsmtemp/volname3,/tsmtemp/volname4

If LOADDB spits up any errors then run AUDITDB
eg DSMSERV AUDITDB FIX=YES DETAIL=YES FILE=/usrtemp/AUDITDB.TXT

10. After finshing the above. Restore the orginal devconfig.out to original
settings

11 Start TSM Server from commandline

12. Perform a Full DB Backup
13 HALT the TSM Server
14. Restore the orginal DSMSERV.OPT file
15. Define mirror volumes (db and log vols using the dsmfmt command)

Define the group of mirrored volumes

16 Restart the TSM Server

Any comments or gottcha's would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance


Stephen

Subject: Re: Intermittant TSM Server - Database stops


 Hi all,

 Sorry to trouble all of you.

 Here is an event that happened last week during normal operations, while a
 large query was being run on the TSM database.

 12/11/03 01:08:13 ANR2561I Schedule prompter contacting ICMC02RPA
 (session
4174) to start a scheduled operation.

 12/11/03 01:08:32 ANR2017I Administrator OPS issued command: FETCH
NEXT
 50
 12/11/03 01:08:37 ANR2958E SQL temporary table storage has been
 exhausted.

 The explanation seems pretty self explanantory.

 The server was restarted all seemed ok for about 12 hours.

 We have added another extended the database by means of another dataase
 volume and refrained from performing any major SQL queries etc..

 Since then, TSM Server stops at random times. (no messages in the actlog)
 The server just falls and has to be restarted.

 The only clue something has happened is in the errpt -a

 End result is that TSM has gone very flakey and falls over a odd times.

 Has anyone encounter this before. If so what are my options?

 We are looking at doing an unloaddb then reload etc... (If I can get
my
 head around the procedure)..

 Any help would be greatly appreciated

 Thanks in advance TSM'ers!

 Cheers
