Keep Mount Point Select whether the node should retain the tape mount point for the entire session. Yes Specifies that the node must retain the tape mount point during the entire session. No Specifies that the node will release the tape mount point if policy definitions cause data to be stored in a disk storage pool after storing data in a sequential storage pool. The default is No. Maximum Mount Points Allowed Enter a number from 0 to 999 to specify the maximum allowed resource usage by this node. A value of 0 specifies that tape drives cannot be acquired for storage operations. Data storage operations must be contained within a disk storage pool and server operations like migration will manage putting data on tape. A value of 0 does not prevent a retrieve operation from acquiring a tape drive. A node is always allowed to acquire at least 1 tape mount point for the purpose of data retrieval. Entering a value other than 0, limits the node to the specified number of tape drives and prevents the node from monopolizing all of the available tape drives.

TSM Software ftp server layout
Hello, I have problems with the layout of the ftp server ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-managent. As an example: to find the current Windows client I have to go from rom the top level to the directory maintenance/client/v4r2/Windows. To figure out whether there is a patch for it I have to go the whole way back and then go down to patches/client/v4r2/Windows. For users it would be much more convenient to have the the decision between maintenance and patch below the platform name. I have an additional wish. URL http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/clients.html contains a nice table with maintenance levels and patches for the various platforms which allows to download the software directly. However, the ftp links point to the ftp server in Boulder. There is at least one mirror for the tsm software in Karlsruhe, Germany. Would it be possible to have the mentioned table with links pointing to Karlsruhe?

Upgradeing 3494 drives
We are upgradeing the drives in our 3494 library to: -double the storage capacity of the J cartridges -convert from SCSI to fibre There seems to be a question of if we need to convert just one drive and move the data to the newly defined lib / drive or can we simply convert both drives, as long as the drives remain in the same library defined to TSM. Has anyone done this? The existing cartridges can be read by the upgraded drives ( but noit written to ). I guess the question is will TSM use the newly defined drives when a call for a cartridge with existing data is made.
Re: Need a select command
For total data being managed by TSM I use: select sum(physical_mb) from occupancy Or if you want to know the total MB for nodes in schedules only you can use: select sum(physical_mb) from occupancy where node_name in (select node_name from associations) Regards, Denis L.

Re: Upgradeing 3494 drives
Lawrence, I guess you are talking about 3590 drives in a 3494 library? For that there are some good info in the README file for the server (see below). We upgraded all the drives to E drives at the same, if you only got 2 then it makes sense to do both at the same time. Just remember to put all existing none-scratch tapes into readonly, they can't be written to until they have gone back to scratch through expire (and move data). (Read is no problem from the upgraded drives). Make sure you are upto date with all SW including TSM/library/drives. = README.SRV=== 1. All 3590 drives within physical library are upgraded with 3590E drives at the same time. Consider an example with one 3590 drive physically defined as /dev/rmt0. Assume that there were originally defined devclass, logical library, and storage pool for 3590 drive. There were also some volumes (tape cartridges) checked in the library with data written on that drive. Replaced 3590 drive with 3590E drive. Steps below will allow you to use the new 3590E drives with minimum changes to TSM server: - Using SMIT utility or manually, remove /dev/rmt0 device example: rmdev -l 'rmt0' '-d; - Using SMIT utility or manually, define the 3590E device example: mkdev -c tape -t '3590' -s 'scsi' -p 'scsi0' -w '0,0' -l 'rmt0'; - Run TSM server (dsmserv); - Issue TSM command: UPDate DEVclass devclassname FORMAT=DRIVE update devclass devclass_3590 FORMAT=DRIVE; - Issue TSM command: DELete DRive libname drivename delete drive lib_3590 drive_3590; - Issue TSM command: DEFine DRive libname drivename DEVIce=devicename define drive lib_3590 drive_3590 device=/dev/rmt0; - Users must update storage pool volumes to have ACCESS=READONLY under the following conditions. Users do not have to follow this procedure for database backup, dump or export volumes. For storage pool volumes: 1) The volume currently has READWRITE access. 2) The volume was previously written on 3590 drive. For example, UDPATE VOLUME volname ACCESS=READONLY WHEREACCESS=READWRITE This also applies to DRM-managed copy storage pool volumes that are in the MOUNTABLE state. For DRM-managed volumes that are not available to the TSM server (i.e., the volumes are not in MOUNTABLE state), the user does not need to take any action. If copy storage pool volumes are brought back on-site to recover the ADSM server, the COPYSTGPOOL VOLUMES AVAILABLE macro will update the access of the copy storage pool volumes to READONLY. For any other off-site volume (ACCESS=OFFSITE), the user must update the access to READONLY after the volumes are brought back on-site. ...

Re: List of tapes in vault
You don't need select for this simple one. Use: q drmedia * wheresate=vaultr You can use same command with all other states to see where they are. I have our vault send me an inventory about every 2 months and I compare. You have to remember that their snapshot of the Vault and yours will need some adjusting. It's sort of like doing a reconciliation of your bank statement.

TSM support of STK library in SAN environment
Greetings, I have looked through the listserv archives for an answer to this question, but so far have not found an answer that quite addresses my question. I am about to install TSM 4.2.1 on an IBM pSeries box with FC attach through Brocade switches to FC 9840 tape drives and a STK 9310 Powderhorn library. Soon the customer is going to want to do LAN-free backups using TSM Managed System for SAN Agent directly across this SAN to the 9840 tape drives. My questions: 1) Can TSM talk directly to this STK Library? Do we need ACSLS? I have used TSM with other STK libraries, and just controlled them directly. This library will not be attached to any other server besides TSM, so is ACSLS required? Does it make anything easier? 2) IF I can directly talk to the library, how is this done? TCP/IP, through the SCSI interface, or what? 3) The LAN-free page at the TSM web site hints that to do LAN free backups to a STK ACSLS library, I would need the EDT software. But is this necessay IF I can control the STK library directly from TSM without ACSLS? Please reply directly, as well as to the list. Thanks much in advance, John Schneider LSi

Re: PC Magazine Enterprise Backup Article - NO MENTION OF
Paul! I didn't know you were one of us ! Ah yes - someone else who remembers the Good Ole operating system, that knew how to SEPARATE user data and customization from the OS. As a former mainframe storage manager, MICROSOFT MAKES ME CRAZY, because they STILL haven't figured that out. Unfortunately, the My Documents and Settings concept STILL doesn't work right; it lets you recover your files, but not your Windows customization. (Although Win2K has improved it a bit). Customization for your own software is, in many cases, STILL in the registry. So you can't restore your customization without restoring the registry, and you can't restore the registry without restoring the Program Files directory, so you pretty much have to restore everything, since you STILL can't separate it. I'm whining about this AGAIN, just to point out there are sites where laying down a corporate image isn't sufficient, and we are one of them. At this site it's... well, it's rocket science. Really. They have rocket scientists running around here. And Mathematicians. And Physicists. And software developers and other university-type power users. And they all have Windows desktops where they do software development, test funky software you've never heard of, or download stuff from rocket scientist web sites, for all I know... But anyway, NO TWO MACHINES are alike, and if you give them a clean machine, it takes A LOT OF TIME to reinstall all that unique software, and get their program development software recustomized, and rocket scientists are a VERY EXPENSIVE COMMODITY to spend their time dinking with Windows! So here, at least, it's WORTH THE EXTRA FEW TAPES to take that basic backup of 500 copies of Windows executables at about 300 mb each and give us the ability to do bare metal restores of individual workstations, complete with all the unique software and customization. (In fact, I would ask these questions of ANYBODY in a program-development environment: Do you really have enough time/money that you want your program developers working on customizing Bill Gate's software, instead of working for you? Don't they ever have deadlines? Have you figured out how much time they REALLY spend rebuilding their environment if you give them a clean machine? Do you actually know how much you pay them, compared to the cost of an extra tape?) Anyway, recovery requirements can be DIFFERENT, if you are backing up machines that are really used as WORKSTATIONS instead of Utility/Gateway machines and as opposed to SERVERS. And the COOL THING here is: TSM can do it. Our requirements are different than most sites, and TSM can STILL handle it. As Dwight Cook has said, I haven't run into much of anything I CANT handle with TSM.. And, as many people have said, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE for understanding your own environment.

All data will be stored in user storage. That is the way the mainframe has worked for years. The catalogs to where the data, the security database, and the user data volumes are all that are needed on a backup in a cloned MVS world now. One image fits all. Like mainframes, the

TSM client schedule triggered by an event?

We have been using server-prompted schedmode for the client for some 3 years now. No problems.

We use the QLA2200F PCI card without any problems. I cannot imagine why there would be a problem with this. I believe the same driver is used for both. The real issue is SBUS is going to be MUCH slower than the PCI card (25mhz vs 66mhz). Yes the IO slot board for PCI is about 10K and you may not have room for it, but it is really worth the difference in performance when you start running both FC disk and tape. -Original Message- From: Bruce Lowrie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 2:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sun Solaris and Qlogic QLA2202FS (Sbus) and 3590-EIA All, Bringing up a Sun Solaris E6000 as a TSM Server and would like to use Qlogic's QLA2202FS Sbus Fibre Channel cards to connect to 3590-E1A. IBM's website only mentions support for QLA2200F (PCI). We can get Emulex LP8000S cards but these are single port whereas the Qlogic cards are available in dual port configurations.

Re: disk pool size,and total number.
I would be tempted to send the Onbar data directly to tape, especially since you have plenty of drives. If you send the data to disk first, you will only be able to run one stream to tape during migration. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Clientoptset
I defined a client option set with the parameter compress=yes, force yes. Then I associate a node with this client option but when I start an backup at the node, the system tells me that the compression is forced off by the server. Why ?
