Linux BMR
Hi *SM-ers! Our Linux guys are trying to find a way to do bare metal restores on Linux (Redhat) while using TSM. I was wondering how other companies have implemented this. I there a supported/documented way to do this? Thank you very much for any response in advance!

Re: Linux BMR
Eric, In our shop we made a custom bootable cd with linux and the tsm client on it. We compiled the kernel on this cd with as many drivers as possible to support a lot of hardware. When we do a bmr of a linux system we boot from this cd, create the needed partitions and filesystems and mount them on a temp. mountpoint. Then we restore these filesystems from TSM. Then you can chroot into the new environment to install the bootloader and change any mount options and so on. (if you go from softwareraid to scsi for example). You can also recreate your initrd file here to include any modules you need for boot. I also heard from people who use a standard linux boot cd (like knoppix) and then nfs mount a filesystem with the TSM clients binaries in it. We have used this method many times and it has been proven to work well, we also use it to migrate linux boxes to vmware.

TSM, MS Clustering Mountpoints
W2K3 R2 SP2 x64 TSM 5.5.0.0 I've backed up clustered vols before by using a special .opt file that uses a common nodename and clustermode=yes which seemed to work fine when I was dealing with regular data volumes. Now I have a cluster that is using DFS and mountpoints, and this method does not seem to work - when I specify clustermode, tsm doesn't see the mountpoints. If I back them up using the physical server opt file, it works fine, but the unc contains the physical server who currently owns the resource, which will cause me problems when machines get failed over. If anyone has come across this and solved it, please let me know. I'm thinking of using the new asnodename, but I cant until our tsm servers are updated to a newer level.

Re: TSM, MS Clustering Mountpoints
Steve We went round this loop a couple of years ago. The default value for CLUSTERDISKSONLY is Yes. According to the documentation, this specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager only allows the processing of cluster drives that have a drive letter. This is the default. So (and this seemed paradoxical) you also have to specify CLUSTERDISKSONLY=NO in the 'special' .opt file for backing up the shared disks. For some reason we also had to specify UNC paths to all the disks (including the mountpoints) in the DOMAIN statement, but I forget the reason why. However we did succeed in making it work (although not with DFS in the equation).

Re: TSM, MS Clustering Mountpoints
Steve, Do you have the statement: CLUSTERDISKSONLY NO in your dsm.opt? This should allow you to see the mount points. Note that you will need to use a specific DOMAIN statement in conjunction with this option. This has been my experience with the 5.5 client. I did not see it on earlier versions of the client.

Windows backup failing in a Clustered Envirnoment
Hello All, I just upgraded a Windows client Cluster Configured backup environment from 5.3.0.0. to 5.5.0.2. The upgrade seemed to go ok but the active node Cluster node backup failed to complete successfully. I found the errors below in the Clients dsm.errorlog. I know VSS Errors have been mentioned here before but I can't find one that pertains to a Cluster ( If A Cluster backup is even relevant at all when it pertains to VSS errors. Has anyone seen this type of VSS error before? What is it with the 5.5.x.x Clients and these VSS errors anyway? I don't believe these occurred with the earlier Clients that we had. Also are the VSS errors fixed in the latest 5.5.0.6? I haven't read about any If not is there something that I can put in the dsm.opt file to correct the issue? Or do I have to upgrade to the latest 5.5.0.6? which makes me cringe (due to it being a Cluster and I just struggled a little through this first one.

I've checked LISTSERV options, and they're what they ought to be; I've gotten 1% of messages in the last month. I'm sending problem report to marist's postmaster, listmaster, etc. But I'll admit I am far, far, far from confident that they'll ever respond. In many years, I haven't yet had a listserv-related question or problem which has gotten as much as an acknowledgement without serious repeated effor and, sometimes, phone sleuthing. - Allen S. Rout

If so, this would suggest to me that something has gone wrong with the Registry contents on that W2000 system, ostensibly in the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control \BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup registry subkey. I would compare that system's 'dsmc q inclexcl' with that on another W2000 system in your shop which is at the same SP level. what little I know, Richard Sims

Look in the dsm.opt file, and see if it is using VSS to backup system state objects, as opposed to backing up system state as a filesystem-- See if you have snapshotproviderimage specified as none-- if so remove it. thanks! lisa -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Timothy Hughes Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 10:43 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] ANS5280E Object enumeration from a file set or file list failed All, Another issue, I don't believe I seen this before one of our windows backup is failing with ANS5280E Object enumeration from a file set or file listed failed.

There is a technote about an backup errors having to do with that reg key: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21243837 So far I've found the reg query reg add routine (remote from a command prompt) to be straight forward-- I just run it as I am updating client code to 5.5.0.6. thanks! lisa -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Sims Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 1:23 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] ANS5280E Object enumeration from a file set or file list failed On May 29, 2008, at 11:43 AM, Timothy Hughes wrote: 05/26/2008 00:15:52 ANS5279E Error processing '\\scj170\c$\WINDOWS\Repair\Backup\BootableSystemState\Registry \default': file not found. Tim - I'll bow to anyone who is actually familiar with Windows, but my guess would be that things under the Repair directory should inherently be excluded by the Exclude list inherently contributed to TSM by Windows, as revealed in 'dsmc q inclexcl' where such entries are listed as contributed by Operating System, and constitute what I believe to be called Component Registry file list. If so, this would suggest to me that something has gone wrong with the Registry contents on that W2000 system, ostensibly in the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control \BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup registry subkey. I would compare that system's 'dsmc q inclexcl' with that on another W2000 system in your shop which is at the same SP level. what little I know, Richard Sims
Returning 3592 w/o losing data
A 3592 cartridge was removed from our 3584 by a CE some time ago. It may have been stuck in a drive. After that Operations lost the cartridge for some time, but recently found it. TSM had marked the volume UNAVAILABLE due to 1 write error, but the 3584 no longer lists it in its inventory. There are files on the cartridge that we need, so I plan to return the cartridge to the 3584. Will the correct procedure be just like returning an OFFSITE volume to a library? That is; after the cartridge is placed in a library slot by the changer, 'Assign' it to a logical library on the 3584; then run 'checkin libv library-name volume-name status=private' ? (I realize I will have to change its access to read-only, run audit vol, etc.) [The point of all this --] Is there anything I could do, by mistake, that would make the files on the cartridge permanently gone? With my thanks and best wishes, Keith Arbogast Indiana University
Re: Returning 3592 w/o losing data
Hi I would suggest following .. 1). First remove it from TSM internal inventory by following since TSM thinks it still in library . checkout libvolume libraryname rem=no checklabel=no 2). Now run your checkin but make sure make it private. checkin libv libraryname search=bulk checkl=yes stat=prive Good luck -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Arbogast Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 2:57 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Returning 3592 w/o losing data A 3592 cartridge was removed from our 3584 by a CE some time ago.

Re: Returning 3592 w/o losing data
You are correct. Just check the tape back in to TSM as PRIVATE instead of scratch. In fact, TSM won't let you check it in as scratch, if there is still valid data on it. And there is nothing you can do *accidentally* to damage that data, or write over it. One of the best features of TSM IHMO!

Export node to second TSM instance
Anyone run into issues exporting nodes from one TSM server to a second instance of TSM running on the same physical server? Will this data pass though the network? Thanks Kevin

It's been a while, but I've done a bunch of that once upon a time. Will this data pass though the network? Yes, for a certain value of Yes. It'll definitely enter the TCPIP subsystem. Depending on your OS, it probably won't make it to the network card. There's no good reason for it to get off the box. - Allen S. Rout
VMware and TSM Backup - Survey
Folks, I'm trying to determine what our community is doing with respect to backing up VMware to TSM. If you are so inclined, please answer and send to me privately. I am interested in understanding the intersection between TSM and VMware... Are you backing up VMware Virtual Machines? Are you using VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) or are you using a TSM Client in the VM or both? Are you using TSM's new Backup VM command (available in TSM V5.5)? How many ESX servers and how many VMs? If you aren't Virtualized yet, do you intend to be? Have you thought about how to backup your VM environment? Any other ideas/issues you want to kick around... If it is true this is a subject of general interest, we can leave it in the forum as we go round and round.

Sometime returning offsite tapes still can't be checked in a scratch
Greetings, We are running TSM 5.4.2 server on AIX 5.3. We are in a shared library environment, with 10 TSM server instances sharing a IBM3584 tape library, while one TSM server instance acts as the library master. Occassionally, maybe once every few weeks, we get into a situation where a tape is reclaimed, then goes into Vaultretrieve. Then our daily scripts notify our offsite vendor to return that tape, and moves it to Courierretrieve. The tape then becomes a scratch tape, as you can seen in this actlog: Date/TimeMessage -- 05/28/2008 06:15:00 ANR2017I Administrator EXTSCRIPT issued command: MOVE DRMEDIA 040153 TOST=COURIERR W=Y (SESSION: 79397) 05/28/2008 06:15:00 ANR6683I MOVE DRMEDIA: Volume 040153 was moved from VAULTRETRIEVE state to COURIERRETRIEVE. (SESSION: 79397, PROCESS: 240) 05/28/2008 06:29:48 ANR1341I Scratch volume 040153 has been deleted from storage pool DRCOPYPOOL. (SESSION: 79452) 05/28/2008 06:29:48 ANR6684I MOVE DRMEDIA: Volume 040153 was deleted. (SESSION: 79452) Something goes wrong, though, because we would expect that the instance that just scratched the tape would notify the library master. That must happen most of the time, because usually the next day the tape comes back and can be checked back in as a scratch. But sometimes, we get this message: 05/29/08 16:50:04 ANR8443E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Volume 040153 in library SUN0092 cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH. (SESSION: 358188, PROCESS: 745) from the library master when we try to check in the scratch tapes. Not for all the returning scratch tapes either, but just a few. For some reason the library master still thinks the TSM server instance owns the tape, when that isn't true any longer. But if we wait a few days, we can check the tapes in fine. Can somebody tell me why a tape (or small group of tapes) can get scratched by the owning TSM server, but not scratched by the library master? And why does it only happen sometimes?
