Re: Backup fails when files fail

[Seay, Paul]

Consistent return codes was a Share requirement for years so that production
processes could actually be coded and have a determinable consistent result.
You may not like the implementation, but it is what was asked for.

Re: Scalar 24 remotely

[Seay, Paul]

With TSM V5.1 and below a drive has to be defined, visible, and online to
the TSM server and the SAN Storage Agent.  Essentially, the SAN Storage
Agent is a cut down TSM server code set that does its database I/O remotely.
You have another option, install the TSM server code where you were going to
install the SAN agent.  Consider one important item, even if TSM did support
what you wanted.  The link over the IP potentially has a lot of meta data to
move back and forth.  With a single thread SAN like solution, this may not
be the best choice.

TSM V5.2 will likely have improvements in SAN attachment configuration
operations to address drives being visible to the TSM server and all SAN
clients, but there is nothing announced.  So, we will have to see.

The library probably supports LAN-Free connections by using a SCSI address
to talk to the library.

1) Can you run LAN-free when your SAN and tape drives are in one location

We have our main data center with the big TSM server in Boise, Idaho. We
have a smaller data center with a small SAN in Phoenix, AZ, about 2000km
away. The Phoenix data center has its own SAN that is just a little too
large to back up across the WAN. We're wondering if we can avoid having to
buy a separate TSM server and just put a small library in Phoenix that would
run LAN-free, with IP robot controller that talks to the TSM server in

3590 Partitioning

[Steve Harris]

HI All,

This is  a 3590 question  rather than TSM as such, but this is the best forum for it.


I need to take system images of several AIX boxes each week to SAN Attached 3590E 
drives in my 3494.
It seems like overkill to devote a whole 3590 tape to each image as they  will only be 
a few gig each.

I stumbled across some doc which implies that a 3590 tape can be partitioned into 
smaller segments which can then be used independently. (see items 36 and 38 on the 
tapeutil menu).  However, this is old doc, and I assume the feature is from the early 
days of 3590 when 10GB was an enormous amount of storage.

Has anyone used this partitioning feature? in what circumstances?
Are there any gotchas?

Thanks

You don't qualify what you mean by "failed", but if you simply mean that
the return code from dsmc was 4, then this is a new 5.1 feature, not a

Re: DB2 configuration and backup

Hi

This error points to a DB2 environment problem.  Double check your
environment variables.  Follow through any links and make sure they actually
point to real files.

My settings look like this:
DSMI_CONFIG=/db2/db2t20/sqllib/adsm/dsm.opt
DSMI_LOG=/db2/db2t20/errors
DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64

Remember, if changing your environemnt variables, you will need to bounce
db2 to collect the new settings

Good luck!!

We had something similar. It had to do with us mixing up 64-bit and 32-bit
code. DB2 was installed with 64-bit, but the TSM client was only 32-bit, I
think. If you need details, e-mail me offline and I'll dig them out if I
can.

Re: 3494 and dsmserv restore db

[Prather, Wanda]

As a matter of fact, I had to do this last Friday to restore a Windows TSM
server.
I did exactly as described below in the support item Lloyd posted.

You edit a copy of your devconfig file as below.
Then when you run dsmserv restore db, the first thing you get is a MOUNT
message.
Put your 3494 in PAUSE, open the door, throw the tape in the drive requested
in the MOUNT message.

After the restore is done, remember to take the tape OUT of the drive.
Put back your original devconfig file and restart the server.

It was much less painful than I expected!

Problem
One may need to temporarily configure your 3494 library as manual in order
to perform a database restore. The following provides instruction on how
to change your devconfig file to do so.

Solution
First, make a copy of your devconfig.out file and rename it. Do this so
that after the DB restore completes you can just rename the file back to
devconfig.out without having to re-write anything.

Next, open the current devconfig.out file in a text editor. All but four
lines will need to be moved.

Below is an example of the edited devconfig file:

/* Device Configuration */
DEFINE DEVCLASS 3494CLASS DEVTYPE=3590 LIBRARY=3494LIB
SET SERVERNAME SERVERNAME
DEFINE LIBRARY 3494LIB LIBTYPE=manual
DEFINE DRIVE 3494LIB DRIVE1 DEVICE=/dev/rmt/tsm_drive1

For TSM Version 5.1 and higher, edit as follows:

/* Device Configuration */
DEFINE DEVCLASS 3494CLASS DEVTYPE=3590 LIBRARY=3494LIB
SET SERVERNAME SERVERNAME
DEFINE LIBRARY 3494LIB LIBTYPE=manual
DEFINE DRIVE 3494LIB DRIVE1
DEFINE PATH SERVERNAME DRIVE1 SRCType=server DESTType=drive LIBR=3494LIB
DEVICE=/dev/rmt/tsm_drive1 ONLINE=YES

Save the file and issue your restore syntax. One will then be prompted to
mount the volume. After acknowledging the mount, the resore should run to
completion.

When the restore has completed, discard the edited devconfig file and
replace it with the old one. Assuming the restore was successful, the
server will start up and reference the proper devconfig file.

Re: NT restore to different hardware

[Kyle Payne]

Ok, click here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q249694.

This MS knowledge base article is called "How to Move a Windows 2000
Installation to Different Hardware".  This is the key document that you need
for Win2K.

Note the following section:

If the computer does not restart after restoration because of HAL
mismatches, perform an in-place installation to make repairs. To do this:
Restart the computer from the installation media. On the "Welcome to Setup"
screen, press ENTER as if performing a new installation. When the licensing
screen appears, accept the licensing agreement. Setup will then search for
previous installations to repair.
When the installation that is damaged is found, press R to repair the
selected installation. Setup re-enumerates your computer's hardware
(including HAL) and performs an in-place upgrade while maintaining your
programs and user settings. This also refreshes the %SystemRoot%\Repair
folder with accurate information that you can use for typical repairs if
they are required in the future.


You see the type of motherboard doesn't even matter.  Yes, the document
talks about migrating and not DR'ing.  But when you go through all the steps
you will see that YOU CAN restore Win2K and NT4.0 to dissimilar hardware.
The trick is knowing how to run repair process on the reboot after the
system object restore.

I have done it.  It does work.  Many people are weighing in on this and that
is great but if you haven't done it then please don't say it can't be done.
Simply say you haven't done it.

Having DR recovered my share of NT boxes, I'll throw in my $0.02 worth
here.  The NT/W2K/XP(/Win9x) registry has
entries/pointers/references/who-knows-what that refer to all kinds of
things on the local machine.  Including all installed software, user
accounts, and hardware.  To BMR a client, the target machine needs to be
"Very Similar" to the source.  Anything too different and Windows won't
come up.  Copy the registry, in whole, from a Compaq to a HP server (and do
it in a BMR style, without the system up), and see what happens.  Try it
with AIX (or other Unix) - just reload your mksysb on a different machine,
and see if the ODM lets you come up clean.  Try a Mac - take the drive from
one series machine and drop it in another one - same problem (Try that with
an Amiga, if you have one, and it works up to the 4000, but that's a
different story...).  AIX has a nice trick where you can reload the mksysb,
also having the AIX install CD in the drive, and have it go get what it
needs to come up, but that's build into the OS.  Windows doesn't have
anything like that at this point.

BMR restore to unlike hardware is hard, but not impossible.  You need to be
careful what you bring down and apply to the registry, you need to practice
your plan, then you need to practice it again, and again, and again.  I
learn something new on every DR Test I attend, because things are always

Problem
One may need to temporarily configure your 3494 library as manual in order
to perform a database restore. The following provides instruction on how
to change your devconfig file to do so.

Solution
First, make a copy of your devconfig.out file and rename it. Do this so
that after the DB restore completes you can just rename the file back to
devconfig.out without having to re-write anything.

Next, open the current devconfig.out file in a text editor. All but four
lines will need to be moved.

Below is an example of the edited devconfig file:

/* Device Configuration */
DEFINE DEVCLASS 3494CLASS DEVTYPE=3590 LIBRARY=3494LIB
SET SERVERNAME SERVERNAME
DEFINE LIBRARY 3494LIB LIBTYPE=manual
DEFINE DRIVE 3494LIB DRIVE1 DEVICE=/dev/rmt/tsm_drive1

For TSM Version 5.1 and higher, edit as follows:

/* Device Configuration */

Save the file and issue your restore syntax. One will then be prompted to
mount the volume. After acknowledging the mount, the resore should run to
completion.

When the restore has completed, discard the edited devconfig file and
replace it with the old one. Assuming the restore was successful, the
server will start up and reference the proper devconfig file.

Hmmm..., I pulled exclude.fs out of the documentation, but it was 4.2 doco,
so I would have thought it would work. Do you have anything in you
dsmerror.log about the excludes? What does "dsmc q inclexcl" tell you?

"exclude /.../u01/.../*" will certainly avoid backing up the files under
/u01, but it will still examine each file in the file system to see if it
should be backed up. The trees I want to avoid generally are structured

/db
  /db/database1
 /db/database1/d01
 /db/database1/d02
 /db/database1/d03
  /db/database2
 /db/database2/d01
 /db/database2/d02
 /db/database2/d03

where each d0? is a separate file system, and new branches can be added
without warning. That being the case I generally "exclude.dir /db". That way
I get notices for each file system that it is excluded but the client
doesn't spend lots of time traversing the trees. And I don't get burned if
someone adds another filesystem to the tree and forgets to tell me.

Luck!

The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they

Hello all,

We've started getting the following messages in the TSM log whenever any

All 4 drives have been physicaly reset.
IBM 3494 says the drives are all available.
All 4 drives can be seen by the AIX & TSM.

3494 and dsmserv restore db

[Steve Roder]

Hi All,

 According to the doc., dsmserv restore db only supports manual and
scsi libraries.  Has anyone on this list restored a db via a 3590 drive
inside a 3494?  Since the 3494 is not libtype=scsi, I am thinking that I
will have to put my 3494 into pause or manual mode, and fake TSM into
thinking the 3590 is standalone, and then manually insert the dbbackup
volume into the correct drive.

Has anyone done this?

Re: NT restore to different hardware

[Nicholas Cassimatis]

Having DR recovered my share of NT boxes, I'll throw in my $0.02 worth
here.  The NT/W2K/XP(/Win9x) registry has
entries/pointers/references/who-knows-what that refer to all kinds of
things on the local machine.  Including all installed software, user
accounts, and hardware.  To BMR a client, the target machine needs to be
"Very Similar" to the source.  Anything too different and Windows won't
come up.  Copy the registry, in whole, from a Compaq to a HP server (and do
it in a BMR style, without the system up), and see what happens.  Try it
with AIX (or other Unix) - just reload your mksysb on a different machine,
and see if the ODM lets you come up clean.  Try a Mac - take the drive from
one series machine and drop it in another one - same problem (Try that with
an Amiga, if you have one, and it works up to the 4000, but that's a
different story...).  AIX has a nice trick where you can reload the mksysb,
also having the AIX install CD in the drive, and have it go get what it
needs to come up, but that's build into the OS.  Windows doesn't have
anything like that at this point.

BMR restore to unlike hardware is hard, but not impossible.  You need to be
careful what you bring down and apply to the registry, you need to practice
your plan, then you need to practice it again, and again, and again.  I
learn something new on every DR Test I attend, because things are always
changing.

Hi Doug -

Yes, it is free. At one time it had a $10,000 price tag. However,  the 
data that it collects currently is processed by another package that 
still costs $10,000. Rumors are that will be changing but I know of no 
formally announced alternatives. Is it worthwhile? Like most reporting 
software,  it certainly can be if the data is used appropriately.

See you tomorrow.

Re: System Object Restore Win2K

[Kyle Payne]

With Win2K you do not install to a new folder like you do with NT4.0.

1) Install Win2K into its original directory.
2) Make sure to have the Win2K server installed as part of a workgroup, any
group will do.  Do not make it part of the domain.
3) Install the TSM client.
4) Restore the System drive (usually C:).  Note that if you have other
drives (i.e. D:, E:) then you can restore them now but if they are large
then you can wait.  Note, do not select the system objects at this point.
If you notice the redbook explains this as well.
5) At the end of the System drive restore select "NO" when asked to reboot.
6) Restore the system objects
7) Reboot.
8) When the server comes back up it should be able to log into the domain.
If you installed the Win2K server as part of the domain back in step 2 then
a new SID may have been created for this server.  If that happened then you
will have to delete the server from the domain and add it back.

Hi,

so you did hot backup and cold restore, if I understand correctly what you
did.

What works for me is hot backup and hot restore,
what means , after having blown files away,
I reinstall naked operating system first in this directory where it has been
previously booted and backuped from.

Re: Client doesn't ask for password when IP address changes?

[Alexander Verkooijen]

Hi,

Our server doesn't allow open registration. My dsm.opt contains the
nodename option and the nodename hasn't changed. So that
must be why the client didn't ask for the password.
I always thought that changing the IP address/hostname would
cause the client to prompt for the password again regardless
whether the nodename had changed or not.
Thanks for explaining this to me.

Best regards,

Alexander

Re: TSM/RMAN scripts for backing up Oracle DBs and deleting backu ps

[Rodney clark]

Well I'm not sure about the latest TDP versions but in the older 2.1 or so
the options are a
little limited.
RMAN thinks in terms of redundant backups. The delete scripts that are
delivered with RMAN give a small insight on how to delete the old backups.
But it's based on deleting any files that are part of a backupset that is
above a redundancy level.
Not really the daily weekly monthly stuff.
I might have some scripts hanging around that you can have but they only
really deal with one month of backups and then over and out.
>From memory do not try do achieve this using TSM management classes as RMAN
expects to be in complete control of backup files/pieces.

Hello  list,

We are organizing an Oracle 9i backup using RMAN and TDP 2.2.1. on W2K.
TSM server 5.1.5 is running on AIX.
We want to make
 daily backups (30 versionen),
 weekly backups (4 Versions)
 monthly backups (12 versions).
using different management classes.
I am rather familiar with TSM but not with Oracle/RMAN.

   Are there scripts available for performing these (or similar) backups
   automatically?
and - what would be still more appreciated:
   Are there scripts available for deleting overaged backups?  (deleting
   backups from mgmt class X and older than y days)?

Thank you for your preposals and answers

Re: Client doesn't ask for password when IP address changes?

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

If you had no nodename option in dsm.opt your hostname acts as nodename.
Thus on hostname (not IP address) change you have to be authenticated as
new node. If nodename option is defined it is used for password matching
not the hostname.
Either you have nodename option (and nodename/generated password pair is
still valid) or your server is on open registration. Also you might
changed you Internet address but your VPN address is the same. Please,
please, do not tell me your TSM is open to Internet and your
nodename/password is going without VPN!

Hello,

I'm using TSM (5.1.1.0 client) on Windows XP (SP 1)
to backup my PC at home.
This weekend I switched from one ISP (cable)
to another ISP (ADSL).
This of course changed the IP address and hostname
of my PC completely.

The change of IP adress is clearly visible in the
activity log on the server when I search for the
"Session  started for node BLAHBLA" message.

When I started the backup client after the change
it never asked me for the node's password,
it just logged on to the server and allowed
me to start a backup.

I'm absolutely sure of this because I've forgotten
the password so when it *had* asked me for I wouldn't
have known it.

I can't explain this behaviour. Shouldn't the client prompt
for a password when I change to IP address or hostname?

Our server is 4.2.3.2 (4.2.3.3 in a few hours) on

Re: TSM v4.2 end of support

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

Nathan,

people reading at least 5-10% of the (huge number of) ADSM-L postings
already know:
-   v4.2 will be out of support soon
-   when exactly it will be out of support
-   what goes on with v5.1
-   the "stable" and "not-so-stable" maintenances/patches of ITSM v5.1
etc., etc.

So many of the subscribers of this list know already how to do the TSM
stuff and in case of problems get support from the list. I am trying to
say you many of them can do their job *without* using your services at
all. Now lets have a look what are you offering anyway:
-   "... a new unique business model with Tivoli ..." - so many companies offer 
TSM with installation and support and
hardware and whatever you want ... There is nothing unique in your offer.
Even the mail list spamming was invented by someone else.
-   looking what is the company offering - redirected by the URL in
your signature I reached a page at
(http://pathfindertech.protectedsite.net/) titled "Site Not Found" with
very explanatory content "No web site is configured at this address."
-   trying to look at the person making the offer I had some
"success":
--  my personal ADSM-L archive (all posts I received during
last 18 months) returned no hits for both "nathan" and "norrgard"
--  searching at ADSM.ORG there were numerous posts from
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from 1999 and 2000.
Mainly posts were questions not answer and due to "vague documentation".
Were they RTFM or not I do not know - had no time to check them all (but
some left me with the impression).

If you have something to add to the discussion you can both in private (my
address is shown) or publicly (to the list). But you need many arguments
to change Eric's and my opinion - shameless advertising, period!

Re: Finding out if expiration process is "brand new" of finishing another one that was canceled

Hi Jane!
I think it depends. If you cancel an expiration by issuing a "cancel
process" it will start all over. If you issue a "cancel expiration" it will
create some sort of checkpoint. It will pick up where it left in that case.

Hi,

According to TSM Support - the expiration will pick up from right where it
left off the last session - but I am not sure I believe it - we had 125
scratch tapes fill up rapidly because expiration was not completing every
day.

Does anybody know if there is a possibility to check if a  running

I need that info to build a script that basically would restart the expire
