dear all,
one of my customers has some problems with his server: the machine loses
data. unfortunately he does not know when it starts.
he thought of lokking at the tsm-logs, but the client logs lasts only
two days, so he cannot says when the first data was deleted by his
machine.
my question:
To see when a file was deactivated use this - long running - SELECT statement:
SELECT HL_NAME, LL_NAME, DATE(BACKUP_DATE) as bkdate, DATE(DEACTIVATE_DATE) AS
DELDATE, CLASS_NAME FROM ADSM.BACKUPS WHERE STATE = 'INACTIVE_VERSION' AND TYPE
= 'FILE' AND NODE_NAME = 'UPPER_CASE_NAME' AND

I'll presume that when you say server you actually mean a TSM client.
This is a situation where you as TSM server administrator are being
called upon to compensate for mismanagement of that computer system,
where they claim to be interested in solving the problem but are

TSM log information compresses quite well - I have a number of customers
who do what you describe, but instead of doing the HSM storage, they append
the daily log to a zip file. The daily size change of this file is
insignificant, and they have, at the hands of the administrator, all of the
log
You could run a move data offsite_vol to empty the volumes.

A copy pool works differently than a primary pool in this regard. In a
primary pool, if the volume is filling it will not show up in
reclamation queries, in a copy pool it will. However you have to
remember that in reclamation it's not the percent used, or valid that
matters it's the percent
Pertaining to the recent discussion of buffpool sizing (larger vs smaller
- cpu usage, etc) I would like to get some opinions.
I followed the discussion and was aware of the issue of going too large
and killing any benefits by increased CPU usage and such.
So, I have been experimenting.

Hi,
we had a planned power outage recently, and during bringing everything
back to service the harddisk of one Linux client failed. Restore to a
new harddisk completed in reasonable time, but unfortunately some files
had bit errors, rendering some data unreadable (there is an encrypted
We have 2 library manager TSM instances which resided on

When you send the tapes offsite, do you update them to

We also run TSM on a dedicated Linux/Intel, although on a smaller scale
than you. The server has 2.5GB RAM and two 2GHz Xeons. Our DB is 23G
of which 70% is in use. Buffer pool is set at 32M (8192 pages) with
selftune on. Expiration is run daily - typically completes in 4-7
minutes!
We did some TSM work over the weekend. We ran into a problem and needed
IBM help.

We tried to go RAW and I don't think we could. Can't remember why - I
think it has to do with RH Linux restrictions.
The DB are mirrored across two disk subsystems/controllers. The primary
copy is on internal 500GB SATA RAID-1 drives (DB, OS and Logs only) and
the mirrors on an 8-drive 750GB SATA
Our tsm runs on a p550 with 4 processors and 8 GB of memory running Aix 5.3.
The DB is 131,072 MB and is 64% utilized. Bufpoolsize is 1024 MB. Expirations
average around 3 hours.

My first thought would be: How much unique data is there? This is to
say, if the PC disk was lost, would most of it actually be rebuilt
from a central reinstall image of some kind, rather than representing
unique data? If so, a lot of stuff could be excluded as unnecessary.
I would then look
I did say this was a crazy project.
I don't have a lot of details.
We certainly wouldn't backup lab computers, which use DeepFreeze to
refresh/reclone.
This would be for all of the faculy/staff as well as individual student /
dorm machines, so I guess the answer to your question would be, YES,
Not necessary.
You can't rebind a file that has been archived to a different management
class, but if you change the RULE the file is bound to (i.e., the archive
copy group retention setting), that change does indeed take effect, and will
do what you ask.
That said, here's my plug for content
Wanda's comment: brilliant! I've often advocated that saving stuff you
have not reasonable hope of actually being able to use is foolish. One
might as well send blank tapes to the vault and spare the read/write
head wear and tear from sending tape into a drive.
I've also gotta think that there

My question would be more in line with Why would you keep data for 10 years?
Does the mgmt not understand the liability associated with such a long
retention period? Ask Bill Gates about long term retention and the emails SUN

Expiration has more to do with disk speed than CPU power. Have you
looked at your disk performance?
Our DB is 120GB @ 89% and is on 14 FC drives (as presented from the disk

Ah Zoltan, what fun!
How about distributed TSM Servers running Linux with bags of cheap slow
disk for the primary pools. Copypools back up to the main TSM server,
using server to server over TCP, SCSI over IP to the tape library or where
feasible dedicated fibre, depending on the circumstances
