Regarding TSM db and log mirroring
Hi all I have a question regarding TSM database and log mirroring. I already use this approach but am unsure what the effects would be if we were to lose one of our disks ( i.e. one side of the mirror is broken ). How does TSM cope with this? Does it keep running? What are the steps required to fix a broken mirror etc?

SV: Group-wise enabled TSAFS for backup
Hi Troy You will get a lot of open file errors using this option... it's working as designed! All temp. files, system files etc. which is possible to recreate through installation is not being processed in this open file option - I presume it works like GWTSA.NLM and in this case the following is being backed up (which is enough to recreate your GroupWise): GroupWise Location Directories Subdirectories/Files Backed Up Domain domain_directory wpdomain.db wpdomain.dc wphost.dc gwdom.dc gwpo.dc mtaname domain_directory\wpgate async gwia webac60a etc. Post Office post_office_directory wphost.db ngwguard.db ngwguard.dc ngwguard.rfl ngwguard.fbk ngwcheck.db ngwcheck.log gwpo.dc post_office_directory\gwdms dmsh.db post_office_directory\gwdms\library_directory *.db archive\*.* docs\*.* post_office_directory\offiles *.* post_office_directory\ofmsg\guardbak ngwguard.fbk post_office_directory\ofusr userxxx.db post_office_directory\ofusr\index *.idx *.inc post_office_directory\ofviews\win *.vew *.ini Library (Document Storage Area) Library_directory *.db archive\*.* docs\*.* Regards Flemming -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vegne af Troy Frank Sendt: 17. maj 2005 17:24 Til: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Emne: Re: Group-wise enabled TSAFS for backup I started testing the /EnableGW=yes option with tsafs here about a week ago.

SQL query for events
Hello *SM users, when I run SELECT * from EVENTS in an ODBC connection, TSM returns only records from last db backup.

Re: SQL query for events
This is one of those areas which illustrates the difference between TSM command processing and customer-accessible SQL tables... The Query EVent command actually reports from both the Events and Summary tables, so the amount of data it displays differs from what you will see in the Events table via a Select. See IBM site Technotes 1110883 and 1114961 for just some of the causes of absence of past events. (The Events table is much more volatile than you may expect.) Search the IBM site with +tsm +query event +technote for more insights.

Re: SQL query for events
Actually I am not aware of any real relationship between the QUERY EVENTS command and the SUMMARY table. If anything, the SUMMARY table bears more of a resemblance to the accounting records, if I recall correctly (it has been a while since I looked at accounting records, though). There isn't much difference between the columns displayed by selecting from the EVENTS table versus those displayed using the QUERY EVENTS command with the FORMAT=DETAILED option. While updating a schedule will cause past events to go away, this is also symptomatic of APARs IC34609 and IC28825. Go to http://www.ibm.com and search on these APARs for the explanation. Because the EVENTS table does not play well with date calculations, you need to give it a boost by either explicitly coding your date ranges: ... where scheduled_start'2005-05-16' and scheduled_start'2005-05-18' ... or by adding the following to your WHERE criteria when using calculated dates: ... where scheduled_start'1900-01-01' ... as in: select * from events - where scheduled_start'1900-01-01' and - scheduled_startcurrent_timestamp - 2 days if, say, you want to see EVENTS table data from 2 days ago to the present. The ADSM-L archives contain prior discussion on this subject.

Restoreperformance 3590 versus 3592
Dear Group We have a lot of Windows- and Novellmachines with Files counted between 2 Mio. and 7 Mio. Restore from 3590 even with Filespacecollcation takes its time. On the Novell all files are on 1 volume (sic!). Now we are looking for 3592 drives. Our IBM businesspartner (no streamin - no fun) means we speed up to 40MB/sec. even with data incremented for ever. Restore, streamin, 40MB/sec. hmm The 3590E keeps 40GB nativ, the 3592 keeps 300GB nativ, if both of them where same filled, the speed on 3592 is 5* faster buth the cap. is 7.5* more, do we realy get out this performance? So the strong incremented (yes,yes progressiv backup) data from one node is on a 3592 spreaded over 300GB together with other clientdata (maybe groupcollo after 5.3.?). Env.

silo slots filling up quickly
Folks, Unfortunately our library is running out of slots very quickly and we are not gaining many scratch tapes even though we are very aggressive with reclamation. I have been relocating tapes to an external rack giving the condition: wherestatus=Full and days=120 However, the system has recently been asking for many of these tapes to be inserted back into the library for reclamation. Does anyone have any advice on which tapes that are the best to remove from the active silo into a storage rack? Thanks again! DaveZ

*URGENT* Windows OS Auditing
Hi List, I am seeing a tremendous and sudden increase in the amount of data I am backing up from my Intel servers. The Intel folks tell me they recently turned on O/S level Auditing of the DATA drive on almost all of the Windows servers. I am wondering if this has resulted in TSM perceiving all the data to have changed and he is therefore taking a full backup. I am quickly running out of DB space and I'm beginning to panic (in a gin and tonic kind of way).. Can anybody comment? Thanks in advance Dave
Re: *URGENT* Windows OS Auditing
You betcha. Been there, done that (or had it done to me!) A change in the auditing options appears to TSM like a permission change. And like any other type of file change; you'll get a backup of the file (or all the files). There is a parm you can put in dsm.opt: SKIPNTPERMISSIONS YES But I haven't found any way to work with it. It tells TSM to ignore the NTFS permissions, but then it doesn't back them up or restore them at all. SO, unless you can rely STRICTLY on permission inheritance for ALL subdirectories from the root, you gotta back the permissions up.

I have a 3582-L23 tape drive. It has two fiber attached drives. Both drives are attached to my iSeries thru a 2109-F16 into two 5704 fiber cards. I want to configure this as a single media library to use in TSM as a Copy Storage Pool. I want to be able to do a backup stg backuppool lto_3582 where backuppool is our current disk storage pool, and, lto_3582 is this media library. When it does this, I want it to write using both of the drives in the 3582 at the same time. I assume the steps are: 1 - Configure the 3582 using steps from the book IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Library 3582 Setup, Operator, and Service Guide. 2 - Hope the reboot of the 3582 autocreates a new TAPMLBxx on the iSeries. If not, configure that. 3 - In TSM, configure the copy storage pool to use this new media library. One, is this possible? Or can a single media library only use one drive at a time? tsm 5.2.2 for iSeries PASE. os/400=V5R3M0 Rob Berendt -- Group Dekko Services, LLC Dept 01.073 PO Box 2000 Dock 108 6928N 400E Kendallville, IN 46755 http://www.dekko.com
Re: backup issue caused by windows limitation
First the version of RoboCopy that is part of the Windows 2003 resource kit now supports paths longer that 256 characters. Second, TSM does support the backup and restoration of files in paths longer that 256 characters. What errors are you getting? Kyle Rees, Chris (Corp) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All We are experiencing problems because of windows limitation. In a nutshell a file that has a full path longer that 256 characters cannot be backed up / restored. We have found this a problem with other programs such as robocopy. Has anyone out there found a work around for this.. I know this is a long shot but thought I'd ask anyway..

Re: silo slots filling up quickly
We have had a similar problem with a ATL library for our main frame recently which we are currently upgrading. The best carts to remove we found were carts that were 100% full or close to this percentage and mark these carts as unavailable. Cheers -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Zarnoch Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2005 11:26 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: silo slots filling up quickly Folks, Unfortunately our library is running out of slots very quickly and we are not gaining many scratch tapes even though we are very aggressive with reclamation. I have been relocating tapes to an external rack giving the condition: wherestatus=Full and days=120 However, the system has recently been asking for many of these tapes to be inserted back into the library for reclamation. Does anyone have any advice on which tapes that are the best to remove from the active silo into a storage rack? Thanks again! DaveZ
Re: Node parameters
While looking at this question I am observing something kinda of interesting. I notice that for nodes tcp_name are in lower case for UNIX machines and UPPER CASE for Windows platform when I issue this select statement: select node_name,tcp_address,tcp_name,platform_name from nodes The value for tcp_name does not appear to be depended on the dsm.sys/dsm.opt.

Re: backup issue caused by windows limitation
Hi, we had the problem backing up unc-shares. It turned out that the virus scan was not able to scan the directories an thus TSM was not able to back them up. TSM has no problem with directories with more than 256 characters (I´m not sure where the limit is). Our tests were at TSM 5.1.6.0 Windows Client W2K, TSM Server 5.1.7.0 on AIX 2 years ago. We solved the problem by having users renaming directories and applying stricter naming conventions.
