Server Migration - AIX to HP
Thank you to those who have responded - perhaps a little clarification is needed from me as to why we are doing this. Our customer has 8 very large HP-UX boxes being backed up by a a small 3-year old IBM RS/6000 with IBM 3494 library and 3590E drives. The RS/6000 needs upgrading - memory, RAID disk, Gigabit LAN, CPU speed etc. etc., so a new machine is the most effective way. But they have a spare HP-UX box so have requested we use that for TSM (it's got 8 CPUs, 8 Gb memory, EMC RAID disk etc. vs. 2 CPUs, 512 Mb memory, SSA (non-RAID) disk on the RS/6000). Hence the plan to move from AIX to HP. Yes I would prefer a shiny new RS/6000 but the customer doesn't see the need to shell out when he has a very good spare box that supports TSM. We will be taking the 3494 with us using the dual-SCSI interfaces to cable both systems for the transitional period. So my question is how do we achieve this? The options seem to be to install the same TSM patch level on both processors and then * Quiesce the AIX, empty and delete disk pool volumes, run a BACKUP DB and then a RESTORE DB * As above but shut down to do a DUMPDB and then a LOADDB. * As above but do an UNLOADDB and then a LOADDB ( Database is 27 Gb, 43m versions - how long does this take?) * Start the HP as new and empty, and allow the AIX service to expire after 90 days. This we know will work but 3494 capacity becomes an issue. Archive data would have to be exported and imported, though. Export/Import of node data is not possible - we have 23 Tb of it and customer doesn't expect an outage that long! IBM tell me export/import of node data is the only supported method, which must imply 3590 tapes written on the AIX system must be readable on the HP-UX system. Anyone got any further thoughts? Many thanks
Re: Server Migration - AIX to HP
Hi Moving cross platforms shouldn't be this much problem. We've moved between NT/2000 and AIX using backup/restore procedure. I've also moved between completely different AIX machines using this procedure. No problems there. However, I don't know how large your database is. But, it shouldn't take more than approx. 4-6 hours to do this procedure on your AIX/HP box. I don't know who you have been talking to within IBM, but the db backup/restore procedure should be supported by both Tivoli and IBM. However, it can be that your IBM guys isn't that keen on moving to an HP box. Regarding 3590 cartridges, they should be readable on all platforms, as it is TSM that writes the data, not the OS. All you have to have is the TSM DB to read the tapes. If you could share the 3494 between the AIX and the HP box, this procedure would be easy to test. You can do a test installation of the TSM server on the HP box, and then restore the database from the AIX box to the HP box using dsmserv restore command.

Documentation about Mountpoints, the maxnummp parameter and parallel session handling
We get often problems with db2 and oracle db backups being interrupted by the API because the session was too long in a state of waiting for mountpoints We took several measures like increasing the number of mountpoints in the maxnummp parameter of the node definition IBM recommends that you shouldn't define more mountpoints in the node definition than you actually got Now we don't understand what exactly is the meaning of mountpoints If a mountpoint is a tape drive than we could define only 4 mountpoints because we got 4 drives for the primary storage pool If we would have two clients we could define for each node 2 mountpoints in the maxnummp parameter But having approximatively 30 clients how many mountpoints in the maxnummp parameter should we define? Also we found that the space reclamation process is mounting files on a mountpoint giving sometimes the message 'Waiting for mountpoint(s)' Though a mountpoint doesn't have to be a tape drive but can also be a file in the temporary space reclamation disk pool In consideration of all those facts we would really be interested in a extensive documentation about the handling of mountpoints, the maxnummp parameter and parallel sessions in the TSM environment If anyone could help us we would be greatly thankful!

Or, is the TDP designed to recognize only the changes and only backup those parts of the Information Store that have changed with the possibility of a restore only if you have at least one good Full backup?

Re: TDP for Exchange
Incremental backups, backup only data that has changed. Incremental backups are done in sets. You need to start by doing a full backup, and then x incrementals. I forget what the limit is but at a certain point you must do another full and start a new set. When you do the restore, you start with the full backup from that set and then how ever many incrementals you have. The incrementals take less time to backup, but it takes longer to restore. We do full backups daily. Our IS is only 28gb. If you use Tivoli TDP for Exchange you would not loose your single instance storage if you do full's or incrementals. The only time you loose single instance storage is if you use a brick level backup program or a Microsoft utility like exmerge to extract the individual mailbox information to personal folders. You did not mention what version of the TDP you are using. If you are using v1.1, then you should set versions data deleted and retain only version to 0. Version data exist and Retain extra version doesn't matter. If you are using v1.1, TSM expiration does not work on your IS backups. There is a command line utility you must run called adsmautodelete I think. You specify on the command line how many days to keep your backups. If you are using TDP v2.x I would set your versions data exists to no limit an the retain extra versions to how many days you want to keep your full backups for. The incremental backups use unique names so they are governed by versions data deleted and retain only version. I would set them to be longer than the settings for the full backup, versions data exist and retain extra. Finally you should read the help file or refer to the manual. There is a good section in it about policy recommendations that will explain it better than I have here.

DB reorg Audit
Hi TSM folks, We are running TSM V4 R2 L1.9 on an RS6K with AIX 4.2.1.9, the DB is 17,900 MB and is about 76% full. The machine is a 2 processor WinterHawk (I think). I'm new to TSM, but I'm wondering if someone can give me an estimate on how long a DB reorg would run for. The follow on question to this is that the documentation implies an Audit of the DB would also be required. Does anyone have experience that this is definite? Also, how long would an Audit take? My colleague who is the lead for TSM says that IBM have not been able to give any indication, and we've heard figures ranging from hours to weeks. TIA John.
Re: TDP for Exchange
Hi Your retention settings doesn't look ok. You have a value of 0 when deleted. This means, TSM wont save any versions if the file is deleted from primary disk. And, saving 30 copies of each files will take a lot of space in your library. I'd guess settings retention periods can be done in many different ways. I'd suggest something like this: Versions exist: 5-7 Versions deleted: Nolimit (or at least 3-5) Retain Extra: 30 Retain only: 60-90 days.

Re: Adsmtape and TSM 4.1
Do you have a backup of your DB that is old enough to still have entries for the archives? If so, DONT LET THAT DB BACKUP EXPIRE! I would try shutting down TSM, restoring the old DB, and doing an EXPORT of that archive data. Then I would restore the DB back to current, and IMPORT the archive data again, specifying DATE=RELATIVE and a new policy domain with different retention periods. Im pretty sure that will work for backups, I've never tried it for archives. What do you think, gang? Would that work? -Original Message- From: David Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2002 6:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Adsmtape and TSM 4.1 I've noted the existance of the adsmtape program and I really need a version that will work for TSM 4.1 on AIX.

Re: DB reorg Audit
Hi You don't have to do a audit to do a unload/load. However, if you have any errors in your DB, an audit will be required. And unload should take about 6-8 hours, depending on the HW you're running. The load should take about equal time. So, count with about 12-16 hours. What kind of RS/6000 are you running? We did a audit of a 22GB database which was 87% full.

OFF TOPIC: Oracle DB on ESS.
Sorry for this off topic question, but i need a helping hand, and i know you are all the best in the storage business. We are about to put some big Oracle instances on one of our ESS boxes, and we are wondering what the best configuration is, because we are used to split indexes and data, also log and rollback, and place them on separate disks physically to get a better performance. I know this is not required on an ESS box, but i'd like to know if there is anyone of you who has gone through this before. If you have any reference i could use, it would be greatly appreciated. The main question is: Continue splitting data/index/log/rollback/temp and place them on different 8packs, or go a completely different way and put it all together on one or more 8packs?

AW: DB reorg Audit
Daniel, Thanks for the prompt response. I'm pretty sure we do in fact have errors in the DB, hence my suspicion of a required Audit. Our machine has 2 Power3 375MHz processors with 1GB memory, I don't think the disks are mirrored. I assume your Audit was with the Fix=yes option, but did you have Detail=yes, as this would seem to cause even more checking. If we did an unload, then reload and started an audit, but for whatever reason it ran too long, could we cancel the audit, then do the reload again, after redefining the DB and Logs? If this (or other method) is feasible then it might just allay any fears of starting an audit without knowing exactly how long it's going to take. Thanks for your help.

Re: OFF TOPIC: Oracle DB on ESS.
Hi, As many host adapters, ranks, clusters you can use better is your performance. If you really need throughtput you should consider to implement RAID 0 throught LVM. For example, lets supose that you gonna create an Oracle instance about 400GB and you have four ranks available to you. More you gonna create separate filesystems to datafiles, redo logs, index, and tmp for your instance. In the case for your redo logs supose that you have origlogA, origlogB, mirrlogA, mirrlogB. For these filesystems, create one on each rank and to rest create an LV stripped by four LUNs, each of different rank. The size of stripe I've read that's better to use between 64KB and 128KB. But was used 32KB because the size of registry was 32KB. Remember, if use RAID 0 from LVM of AIX you loose some facilities like reorvg for the LVs stripped and when the space of LUNs finishes you won't increase the size of your LV. So you have to plan very well before to implement. If you want the facility of striping between LUNs but don't want the limitations of RAID 0 implementation of AIX LVM. So you should change the attribute interpolicy of your LVs to maximum. But you have to create your VGs with PP size as little as possible. Try with -t and -B if you use AIX 4.3.3. The I/O workload is not so smooth as RAID 0 but many cases it's good.

Re: Documentation about Mountpoints, the maxnummp parameter and parallel session handling
Beat, unfortunately it is upto us as TSM admins to manage our mountpoint utilization. Thus, in the specific situation of clients backing-up straight to tape, you have to coordinate the scheduling of clients going straight to tape and control (defeat) automatic uses of tape during those periods. Steffan - Original Message - From: Beat Largo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 4:04 AM Subject: Documentation about Mountpoints, the maxnummp parameter and parallel session handling We get often problems with db2 and oracle db backups being interrupted by the API because the session was too long in a state of waiting for mountpoints. We took several measures like increasing the number of mountpoints in the maxnummp parameter of the node definition. IBM recommends that you shouldn't define more mountpoints in the node definition than you actually got. Now we don't understand what exactly is the meaning of mountpoints. If a mountpoint is a tape drive than we could define only 4 mountpoints because we got 4 drives for the primary storage pool. If we would have two clients we could define for each node 2 mountpoints in the maxnummp parameter. But having approximatively 30 clients how many mountpoints in the maxnummp parameter should we define? Also we found that the space reclamation process is mounting files on a mountpoint giving sometimes the message 'Waiting for mountpoint(s)'. Though a mountpoint doesn't have to be a tape drive but can also be a file in the temporary space reclamation disk pool. In consideration of all those facts we would really be interested in a extensive documentation about the handling of mountpoints, the maxnummp parameter and parallel sessions in the TSM environment. If anyone could help us we would be greatly thankful!

Upgrade server from 4.1.3 to 4.2.x
Hi Gurus ! We plan to upgrade our Unix box (H80 aix 4.3.3) from TSM version 4.1.3 to the latest available version. I already have the V 4.2.1 CD, and corresponding manual, but the explanations provided for upgrading are not very clear to me. Could anyone post a step by step procedure, that would reduce the risk of destructing my lovely machine ? I'm also wondering how long this process could take, and if it needs to convert TSM Db to some slightly different format from the one we curently own . Last but not least, I read in the manual that Fiber channel protocol definitions will be lost. Save existing FCP definitions before migrate install ..., as we're using fiber channeling between server and library, I suppose I'm concerned, but how do I save those FCP definitions ?

Why do you consider this an 'oddly configured environment?' We use this all the time. Our daily status report is generated from a shell script scheduled via client command. We use a client command to run our AutoVault reports. Our automated checkin script runs this way which does some Perl processing. This provides us a single place for scheduling all our TSM-related tasks, plus using the Q EV command we can atleast see if the schedule ran or not.

We are working on an issue with a process running for a very long time, and received the following as part of the response from TSM support: [W]as that the run-time of a specific backup process, or was that the run-time of the entire script. Since we do not support scripts, I need to verify that this problem is not your script. Try running each command in your script manually. The specific instance was a storagepool backup that was still running a day later, parked on a 16+ GB file. The storagepool backup was tape to tape; the drives are on separate, dedicated SCSI adapters. TSM Server is Win2k, TSM version 4.2.1.0, IBM 3583 Library TSM does not support scripting. I assumed at one point that meant the scripts per se, but no it's scripting. I tried to pin down the precise definition of scripting since in unix everything runs from a shell more or less, with an exec() system call, and with some tty and enviroment restrictions applied. No, just sh, ksh, and csh (the standard shells) from the command line. It doesn't say much for TSM that they cannot even state what their command runtime environment should be, and that they impose arbitrary restrictions on their command usage instead. Joe Seigh

Re: TSM 4.2.1.9 on Win NT, insufficient number of mount points
I noticed from a previous post that the drives are showing up as GENERICTAPE and not LTO. Did you create an LTO deviceclass? This could be the problem. There are no LTO devices in your library. Make sure that the TSM SCSI driver (ADSMSCSI) is controlling the autochanger and drives and not using the Windows drivers that came with the library. Even though the device information screen in the TSM Driver section of the MMC plugin is showing as LTO, TSM is recognizing them as GENERICTAPE. I also had to get a patch of the ADSMSCSI driver from TSM level-2 to make these work on a PowerVault 136T library. Maybe this 'fix' is in the 4.2.1.11 patch level. There is a table in the TSM Administrators Guide about choosing either the TSM SCSI driver or native drivers. Unless you're using RSM, and I see you're NT so that's out, the only library that has native drivers is the IBM3494 with Magstar drives. Just about everything else should be controlled by the TSM SCSI driver. Give that a shot. Delete your drives from TSM and change the TSM Driver properties to control the library and drives.

In order for Onbar to play with TSM, a shared library is needed. Tivoli previously gave you one in ADSM Ver 3.1 but dropped the shared library for later distributions when it found it could sell a stand alone product (thus put some more coins in their pocket) called TDM for Informix which is basically a shared XBSA library. Informix does have one available that they got gratis from Legatto some time ago but it doesn't work well. The only other 3rd party product that provides a shared library is BMC SQL BackTrack for Informix which also allows you to pull database tables from the TSM backup tapes and stick them in a warm database (nice feature). My location uses SQL BackTrack for Informix. How do you plan on putting a shared library into use? The BMC product has you create backup pools which basically are the conduit to TSM by allowing you to bind a management class to a backup (the backup pools have nothing to do with actual tapes. I don't run onbar commands to do backups but use BMC commands which in turn call the onbar commands. I do all backups as TSM archive type because expiration doesn't work well with backup type backups. There isn't a true incremental capability withing TSM against these data bases anyway. There is an incremental capability within onbar (L0, L1, L2) but TSM doesn't care about this aspect of Onbar.

Re: TSM 4.2.1.9 on Win NT, insufficient number of mount points
Well there's the problem. Your various tape devices classes are using type LTO. Your Tape Drives are of type GENERICTAPE. You need for your tape drives to be defined as LTO, or your tapes (which are in storage pools of type LTO) won't have anyplace to mount. Like Steffan said, you need to remove your tape drive definitions and diddle with your drivers (and possibly tape drive firmware) until your drives come up as type LTO. Then you should be set. _ William Mansfield Senior Consultant Solution Technology, Inc 630 718 4238 Þórður Aðalsteinsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/04/2002 11:10 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: TSM 4.2.1.9 on Win NT, insufficient number of mount points tsm: TSM_SERVER1q stgpool f=d Session established with server TSM_SERVER1: Windows NT Server Version 4, Release 2, Level 1.9 Server date/time: 03/04/2002 17:01:49 Last access: 03/04/2002 16:42:41 Storage Pool Name: ARCHIVEPOOL Storage Pool Type: Primary Device Class Name: DISK Estimated Capacity (MB): 0.0 Pct Util: 0.0 Pct Migr: 0.0 Pct Logical: 100.0 High Mig Pct: 90 Low Mig Pct: 70 Migration Delay: 0 Migration Continue: Yes Migration Processes: 1 Next Storage Pool: Reclaim Storage Pool: Maximum Size Threshold: No Limit Access: Read/Write Description: Overflow Location: Cache Migrated Files?: No Collocate: Reclamation Threshold: Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed: Delay Period for Volume Reuse: Migration in Progress?: No Amount Migrated (MB): 0.00 Elapsed Migration Time (seconds): 0 Reclamation in Progress?: Volume Being Migrated/Reclaimed: Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN Last Update Date/Time: 03/03/2002 10:24:41 Storage Pool Data Format: Native Storage Pool Name: BACKUPPOOL Storage Pool Type: Primary Device Class Name: DISK Estimated Capacity (MB): 0.0 Pct Util: 0.0 Pct Migr: 0.0 Pct Logical: 100.0 High Mig Pct: 1 Low Mig Pct: 0 Migration Delay: 0 Migration Continue: Yes Migration Processes: 1 Next Storage Pool: DISKPOOL Reclaim Storage Pool: Maximum Size Threshold: No Limit Access: Read/Write Description: Overflow Location: Cache Migrated Files?: No Collocate: Reclamation Threshold: more...

From the TDP GUI you can click on restore to see all backups that exist. From TSM you could issue a query similar to : SELECT NODE_NAME, HL_NAME, LL_NAME, BACKUP_DATE FROM BACKUPS WHERE (NODE_NAME='EXCHANGESERVERNAME') to see all backups on TSM for a particular exchange server. With TDP 1.1 you need to define your Exchange Backup Copy Group with verdeleted=0 for TSM to delete ojbects that have been deleted with TDP for Exchange.

Re: OFF TOPIC: Oracle DB on ESS.
What we did was put the indexes, data, log, and rollback in their own filesystems. We then determined what were the hot datafiles and indexes. From that we determined the disk sizes. We used 10.5 for our large filesystems, 5.3 for medium size, and 1.5 for hot small. We then spread the filesystems across as many arrays as possible trying to keep from putting 2 disks from the same filesystem on the same array if we could. We saw an incredible boost in performance on writes and a good increase on reads. We have discovered that when a filesystem becomes over 100 GB that we start to have some I/O problems. I did a presentation on what we did at the Storage Symposium and if you want could send you that presentation offline.

Sorry for this off topic question, but i need a helping hand, and i know you are all the best in the storage business. We are about to put some big Oracle instances on one of our ESS boxes, and we are wondering what the best configuration is, because we are used to split indexes and data, also log and rollback, and place them on separate disks physically to get a better performance. I know this is not required on an ESS box, but i'd like to know if there is anyone of you who has gone through this before. If you have any reference i could use, it would be greatly appreciated. The main question is: Continue splitting data/index/log/rollback/temp and place them on different 8packs, or go a completely different way and put it all together on one or more 8packs?

Re: Server Migration - AIX to HP
We will be taking the 3494 with us using the dual-SCSI interfaces to cable both systems for the transitional period So my question is how do we achieve this? The options seem to be to install the same TSM patch level on both processors and then [Other options deleted] * Start the HP as new and empty, and allow the AIX service to expire after 90 days This we know will work but 3494 capacity becomes an issue Archive data would have to be exported and imported, though The more recent TSM levels provide for setting up an overflow area for an automated library That is, they provide a way of keeping track of tapes ejected from the library and put on a manual rack This might address the library capacity issue You would still have a temporary spike in the demand for cartridges
TDP for Domino 1.1.1 experience
Hey gang, I'm going to be rolling out a TSM solution for Lotus Notes Domino 5.0.9a and will be utilizing the TDP product. I have a SunFire 880 backup server with TSM 4.2.1.9 backing up the Domino client that will be the IBM x360 server running Win2K and loaded with approximately 2500 users. The Domino data will reside on a EMC Symmetrix connected via Connectrix and sent through an Emulex clone FC card. Could someone share some real life numbers like: How many times a day you archive the Transaction Logs? Has anyone experimented with the Buffers and Buffersize settings in the Domdsm.cfg file? If I could contact someone out there for some additional questions I would greatly appreciate it!

LANFREE Backups - Feedback?
Hello, We are currently evaluating the implementation of lanfree backups in our environment. I understand the conceptual benefits of sending data across the SAN vs. the LAN/WAN but am concerned with compatibility issues with our IBM TSM Environment and EMC Connectrix Environment. Has anybody implemented LANFREE in a similar environment? Can anybody give some example or insight to real life advantages to implementing LANFREE backups? Are there any tape drive contention issues when a drive gets allocated to a 'LANFREE' backup? How does TSM manage 'LANFREE' tapes? Does it dedicate a tape to a client (like collocation) or will other clients have access to write data to the same volser? How about attaching a 3590 FC-AL to a EMC Connectrix Fabric? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Re: occupancy by date
Hi Paul. Were keeping a years worth too! I don't know about occupancy by date but when you run the adsmautodelete command, it outputs what it is going to delete.

TDP for MS SQL version 2.2.1 is now available
Attention Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server users! PTF IP22467 Now Available - We have just made Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server version 2.2.1 (PTF IP22467) available for download. The PTF contains several APAR fixes and can be downloaded from the Tivoli web page or from the ftp.software.ibm.com FTP site. PTF IP22467 Details: FTP Site:ftp.software.ibm.com Directory: storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/tivoli-data-protection/ntsql/v221 The parts: IP22467.EXE - Self extracting install file. Download binary and run the EXE file to install the PTF. IP22467.CD.EXE - Self extracting ZIP file of the PTF CD. Download binary and run the EXE file to extract the installation files into the current directory. Then run SETUP to install the PTF. IP22467.README.1ST - README file with PTF content information and installation instructions. IP22467.README.FTP - README file with FTP instructions. Here a summary of what the PTF contains: - The prefix for error message codes in the Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server Installation and User's Guide, SH26-4111, has been changed to ACO. It was incorrectly shown as ANS. - A bug was fixed which caused a query sql or any backup command to fail if the SQL 7.0 sort order was case sensitive. This problem affected both the command line and the gui and only pertained to SQL Server 7.0 instances. SQL Server 2000 did not experience this problem. - The command line parser was more permissive in the syntax it accepted than had been stated in the documentation. The documentation has been updated to reflect the syntax accepted by the parser. - The Diff command keyword has been changed to Difffull since it refers to the differential backup of a full (complete) database. - The /Relocate option now works for transaction logs. - Implicit transactions mode is now turned on explicitly within the session established to perform the backup or restore. Previously it was possible for implicit transactions mode to be off. This caused a nested transaction to begin in some cases, which in turn would cause the backup or restore to fail since the ODBC driver provided with SQL Server does not support nested transactions. This setting affects only the session established to do the backup or restore. It will not interfere with other SQL Server sessions in progress at the same time. - A bug was fixed which had caused the gui to crash in some cases if SQL Server authentication mode was specified in the configuration file. - A bug was fixed which could cause data loss at the TSM Server if the copy destination was changed between two successive backups of the same SQL Server data. - A gui bug was fixed which could cause a second partial restore of a list of files and/or file groups to fail when a previous partial restore of a different list of files and/or file groups from the same database had been done immediately beforehand. The bug caused the first list of files and/or file groups to be restored a second time rather than the correct behavior, which would have been to restore the second list of files and/or file groups instead. - The following APARs have been handled: IC29808, IC29849, IC29906, IC30018, IC30561, IC30657, IC31372, and IC32236. It is recommended that the IP22467.README.1ST file included with the PTF be read first before an installation is attempted.

how does TSM / sql backtrack use management classes?
We're using SQL backtrack to backup our oracle database. If two backtrack backup scripts are run using two different management classes against the same database, (ie.. management class one has 3 version, 30 days and management class two has 6 versions 60 days) how does TSM handle the backup? Will it in effect use the shortest management class. Or will it keep two sets of the database, one for 3/30 and the other for 6/60?

Your various tape devices classes are using type LTO. Your Tape Drives are of type GENERICTAPE. You need for your tape drives to be defined as LTO, or your tapes (which are in storage pools of type LTO) won't have anyplace to mount. Like Steffan said, you need to remove your tape drive definitions and diddle with your drivers (and possibly tape drive firmware) until your drives come up as type LTO.

Unlock privilege
Hello, In our company we have several units for different platforms, f.i. AIX, NT, Sun and so on. The units (platform-specialists) are doing there own restores and every platform has one or more policy domains with different management classes. We are using password access generate. So after password expiration the platform-admins don't know the password for the client in case of restore a machine from scratch, and have to contact our unit (Stor. Man). Sometimes they type in a wrong password and node is locked. We want to use an admin that can unlock the client-node and update the password in case of restores so the platform-admins don't have to call our unit (storage Man.) and don't loose time in case of quick install. The manual is saying that admins with system privilege, and unrestricted and restricted policy privilege can lock/unlock and update passwords. The problem is that this is too much privilege. I was wondering how other sites are dealing with this issue. Thanks, Brian. _ Chat on line met vrienden en probeer MSN Messenger uit: http://messenger.msn.nl
Re: Unlock privilege
The manual should say admins with system privilege OR unrestricted or restricted policy privilege can do this. If you give your platform specialists restricted policy privilege to one (or more) domain, they can register, unregister, lock, unlock, and change passwords for nodes in that domain only. They can't affect clients in the OTHER policy domains. I do this for several groups, for just the reasons you describe.

Re: how does TSM / sql backtrack use management classes?
Not familiar with SQL BT for Oracle but I use (unfortunately) SQL BackTrack for Informix. There is a $DTICATALOG directory (as database instance owner, echo $DTICATALOG). Within the DTI Catalog directory, there is a file called dtoptions. One stanza from this file shows how a BMQ SQ BT backup pool is bound to a TSM management class whether it is a backup or archive as well as the TSM filespace (remember that the backup_pool=V35003DM is a BMC reference: begin backup_pool=V35003DM obsi=adsm dsmi_config=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.opt mount-wait=y filespace=/V35003DM management_class=32day storage-pool=archive end backup_pool This is the line in the backup script where the BMC -to option points the backup to a BMC backup_pool: dtibackup -whole_system -quiet -noprompt -to V35003DM -debug -debugfile /tmp/dbg.dmartbkup and to add a bit more to this mess, there is an instance directory within the $DTICATALOG path that contains the default for any backups make by this instance user in case a -to option is not specified. It contains defaults for all dbspaces plus a default for logical logs. The name of the instance directory is dbcci and there is another instance directory called psinf_73uc1. In the case of an Informix database, the place where the default BMC backup_pool is set is called onbarconfig: informix at afcprod1: /usr/bmc/IFX/data/dtcat $ ls dbccidtoptionsdtseqpsinf_73uc1 informix at afcprod1: /usr/bmc/IFX/data/dtcat $ cd dbcci informix at afcprod1: /usr/bmc/IFX/data/dtcat/dbcci $ ls exportconfig exporthistory onbarconfigonbarhistory profile schemahistory informix at afcprod1: /usr/bmc/IFX/data/dtcat/dbcci $ more onbarconfig begin object=@@default pool=V35003DM end object begin object=logical-log pool=V35003DM end object Hope all that mess helped... take this with a grain of salt as the BMC SQL BT for Oracle product may work differently...

Do you have a SQL scripts or commands to get done this tasks? your help is really appreciated. thanks, Zosi Noriega ADNOC - UAE

3.1? Wow. In the old days, if the client used compression and sent a file that was already compressed, it might actually grow, exceeding the original estimate the client provided the server. It can't allocate more space at that time so the backup fails. To avoid this, ensure that the client is not compressing the data (dsm.opt file compression no). Or exclude compressed files (.zip, .jpg, etc.) The easiest thing is to stop compressing on the client side. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

The ANR0534 mesages mean that the size of the file that node FASSNT is attempting to send to the server is too big to fit in the storage pool available space. (I assume that BACKUPPPOOL is a Disk storage pool.) You seem to indicate that this is a new install. Do you know how much data (how big the files are) that FASSNT has to backup? Basically you must increase the size of the BACKUPPOOL to make room for these files or adjust migration on this stg pool to free up space before this node backs up data. The ANR messages - not real sure on that. Do you get these regularly or was this a one time thing? You may have just had too many things going on at once on the server, this sometimes happens. It's apparently related to Expiration running, I try to run this during a time of day with little other activity going on. This is a REAL old version of ADSM also!!

Re: how to identify ofsite tapes for specific node
You could try something like this: select volume_name from volumes where volume_name in (select distinct volume_name from contents where node_name='STORMAN') and stgpool_name='COPYPOOL' and access='OFFSITE' (This is one long command that I put on multiple lines for readability.) Notes: - You will need to change COPYPOOL to whatever your offsite storage pool is. - You will need to change STORMAN to whatever node name you are interested in. - The values in single quotes must be in upper case, as I have depicted. - If the volumes in the volume name column wrap (i.e. if the volume names are greater than 18 characters), you can extend the column width like this: select volume_name as VOLUME NAME from volumes ... etc. Hope this helps, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

Re: how does TSM / sql backtrack use management classes?
Hello, using SQL BackTrack, all retention management is done by SQL-BT acording to definitions in the so called Oracatalog. Every backup object is unique, because the name includes a timestamp. Versioning from TSM sight cannot be established. In the inst. guide of SQLBT-interface mode to TSM, called obsi.adsm, you find the nessessary defs for the backup or archive copy groups. Greetings Rolf Meyer On Monday, 4. March 2002 22:20, you wrote: We're using SQL backtrack to backup our oracle database. If two backtrack backup scripts are run using two different management classes against the same database, (ie.. management class one has 3 version, 30 days and management class two has 6 versions 60 days) how does TSM handle the backup? Will it in effect use the shortest management class. Or will it keep two sets of the database, one for 3/30 and the other for 6/60?
Tips for upgrading to latest server vesion ?
Hi Gurus ! We plan to upgrade our Unix box (H80 aix 4.3.3) from TSM version 4.1.3 to the latest available version. I already have the V 4.2.1 CD, and corresponding manual, but the explanations provided for upgrading are not very clear to me. Could anyone post a step by step procedure, that would reduce the risk of destructing my lovely machine ? I'm also wondering how long this process could take, and if it needs to convert TSM Db to a different format from the one we curently own . Last but not least, I read in the manual that Fiber channel protocol definitions will be lost. Save existing FCP definitions before migrate install ..., as we're using fiber channeling between server and library, I suppose I'm concerned, but how do I save those FCP definitions ?
