Backup issue...
Hi, I have a setup of TSM server and client v5.5. I have configured two management class. one is default and the other is non-default. I performed selective backup in non default management class. It was successful. Two different storage pools for backup for both management classes. But when I try to perform incremental on the default management class, server is trying to mount from both the storage pools from default and non-default management class. This is making lot of IO operations and witting to both management class is happening. Please suggest how to resolve the issue. Regards, Kiran.

I think you have run selective backup for specified list of directories (maybe with subdir=yes). If you are running incremental backup without parameters, you need: 1) check dsm.opt file for included domains like C:, D:, SYSTEMSTATE, etc; 2) check include/exclude list for specified domains. It should be include.backup all domains not default management class for all domains. In other case, come files will come to default management class. Regards, Grigori G.

You can try to add in dsm.opt at the beginning (important!) of include/exclude list: INCLUDE *:\...\* NOT_DEFAULT_CLASS INCLUDE.SYSTEMSTATE ALL NOT_DEFAULT_CLASS This will fix your problem for sure.

Re: Backup issue...
This is default option, if node is in domain, where you have default management class. So just remove all additional includes (keep only default includes coming after client installation). Grigori G.

Re: Backup issue...
It is not a matter of access. Node can access all management classes in domain by default and it does not matter how many classes you have. Next is only important: 1) it should be default management class in domain for backups without include statements (default); 2) all other management classes can be used ONLY by INCLUDE statements in dsm.opt.

Re: Backup up ESX Host running Linux using Tivoli
Hi Timothy, What do you want to do? Backup Full-VM's (.VMDK files), or do a file backup of the VM's. In the Windows Client Guide (6.1/6.2) there is a chapter on how to backup this using a proxy node. It is not advisable anymore to install a Linux client in ESX because in the near future the service console of vSphere will be gone as are the VCB-tools. Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards, Richard van Denzel.

Re: Scheduler problem

Re: Scheduler problem
Hello Richard, I do not think problem is so simple. Check the dsmerror.log on the client for possible error indications. There is nothing in dsmerror.log. Assure that the TSM server parameters for the client have it going at client port 1501 for the session, and not some odd port. IP Address and port is not set, so default is 1501.

Re: Scheduler problem
Grigori, There is nothing wrong with using the CAD to manage the scheduler. In fact, that is usually our recommended configuration. Do you have any other 6.2 clients on Windows? If yes, do they experience the problem? It would help us to know more about the TSM client configuration for this machine. - How many CAD instances are installed, and how many scheduler instances are installed (you should use one CAD per node, and each unique TSM application should have its own node). - Can you show the output from the command dsmcutil list - For each service identified in the dsmcutil list command, show the output from dsmcutil query /name:xxx(xxx is a name of the service identified in the dsmcutil list command output) - What does the options file for each CAD look like? - What does the options file for each scheduler look like? - Check all *.log files for any anomalous errors that could be indicative of the problem. For example you checked dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log, but did you check dsierror.log or dsmwebcl.log? If you still cannot identify the trouble, I recommend opening a PMR.

Re: TSM Image backup -incremental issue
Check your include-exclude list to make sure that the directories or files are not being excluded. Use dsmc query inclexcl to see the include-exclude list. See the client manual (or use dsmc help) for information about the incrbydate option, which is what -mode=incremental uses. There are a number of possible reasons that files can be skipped by this form of incremental backup processing.

Snapdiff with NetApp OnTap 7.3.3
FYI. For those who use the TSM client snapdiff functionality to backup their CIFS shares on a NetApp filer, I have been advised of the following which affects those who upgrade their NetApp to the latest O/S - OnTap 7.3.3: If you have any customers using the snapdiff functionality to backup CIFS/NFS shares via the Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client please be advised that when upgrading to ONTAP 7.3.3 the TSM client will cause an abort with the backup operation complaining about an invalid ONTAP version. This is not a particular ONTAP version that TSM is complaining about, it is the fact that the API element has been enhanced with the FileAccessProtocol. The work-around for this is to have the customer place an entry ( TESTFLAG SNAPDIFFONTAPFAP ) into the dsm.opt file that resides on the host. This option will bypass the check that looks for the enhanced API that supports Unicode. This will be addressed in a later TSM client version but is needed today for customers moving to ONTAP 7.3.3.

There is not much to gain for backing up the host... just log files and executable that could be installed from the esx media.

Re: Running a report on what files will expire in the next sixty days
Because of TSM's incremental backup scheme, there is no way to know what files will expire, because their is no way to know what new versions of files will be taking their place in the future. For example, say there is a file called yoda.txt. If that yoda.txt file is backed up once and is never changed, then the backup for it will never expire because the backup of that file remains the active version of that file. If, however, yoda.txt is changed from time to time, and a backup runs every day, then the older versions of the file become inactive versions of the file. Then the inactive versions will expire when they exceed either the number of days or versions that you defined in the policy. So, when I backup yoda.txt today, there is no way to know when this version of yoda.txt is going to expire, unless I have some way to know how many new versions are going to replace it in the future. Can you tell us why you think it is necessary to predict what files will be expired, or when? Since new backup data will be coming in continuously, is it really important to know?

Re: Running a report on what files will expire in the next sixty days
John, Please correct me if I'm wrong. select * from syscat.columns where tabname='BACKUPS' shows that there is a column called DEACTIVATE_DATE. I guess if you write a select statement crafted in such a way that it also takes into account current date, the management class (CLASS_NAME from BACKUPS) VERE/VERD/RETE/RETO, then you can conclude if the object is candidate for expiration. Running such a select on a production machine is a whole other story. -- Warm regards, Michael Green On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 6:37 PM, John D.

LM TSM v5.5.4.2 upgrade fixes tape mount failures w/ v5.5.4 or v5.5.4.1
If your LibMgr TSM v5.5.4 / v5.5.4.1 is busy, you probably have APAR IC65967 causing many unnecessary tape mount failures w/ ANR9730W errors @ LM TSM and ANR1401W errors @ LC TSM. After being plagued for the last month with these failures [failing GENerate BackupSets and other long running processes], we did an emergency v5.5.4.2 upgrade yesterday. Before the upgrade, we had 100 mounts failing within an hour! Since the upgrade, we've had only two failed mounts during the last 19 hours. We like our AIX 6.1 LM TSM v5.5.4.2 (latest patch) upgrade!

Re: TSM 6.2 OS and Hardware Requirements
Hi Lesli From those memory limits I assume that your running 32bit Windows on this server I doubt you will see much improvement going to 8GB with a 32bit OS as it can not efficiently use it even with the Enterprise version Have you looked into the 64bit versions of windows as the Standard versions will work with up to 16GB and will make much better use of the memory above 4GB Phil From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [ads...@vm.marist.edu] on behalf of Lesli Jordan [leslijor...@smsd.org] Sent: 12 April 2010 18:51 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM 6.2 OS and Hardware Requirements We are preparing to upgrade from TSM 6.1 to version 6.2.

Re: Running a report on what files will expire in the next sixty days
Well, I am no expert on this, so I am willing to be corrected by somebody if I don't have this right, but here is my understanding. Yes the deactivate_date will tell you when a given backup object became inactive, but that won't reliably tell you when it will expire, because as I said, you don't know what other versions will be coming along. Newer versions can cause it to expire sooner. What if, in my previous example, yoda.txt is in a management class whose backup copygroup policy is 7 versions for 30 days? The file gets backed up on 4/13/2010. The next day yoda.txt changes, so it gets backed up again on 4/14/2010. So at the next 'expire inventory' the 4/13/2010 version of the file becomes inactive, and deactivate_date gets set to 4/13/2010. If the policy says 30 days, it would be easy to think, yeah, it is going to really expire on 5/13/2010, 30 days later. But what if yoda.txt keeps changing every day? Then yoda.txt from 4/13/2010 is going to expire when 7 new versions have backed up, on 4/20/1010. But what if yoda.txt only changes every other day, or not at all? You can do a select to find out all the files that are deactivated, but the best you could determine is the outside window of how many days they might still be around, based on the number of days in the policy. But I am still not sure why it is useful to run such a report? Best Regards, John D.

Post Mortem on V6 server crash
My v6.1.3.3 server just rolled over and died for no apparent reason. I have it back up. I am curios if there is some kind of audit or consistency checking I should perform to make sure there aren't any broken-bits lying around that I might need to glue back in place?

Hi Zoltan, Their is a couple of things I looking for every time I catch up a TSM v6 crash. 1. See if Archive Log Space is not full 2. See the DB2Diag.log for more information 3.

Re: Running a report on what files will expire in the next sixty days
And like Michael implied, running a select from the BACKUPS table on a production server is liable to kill its performance for a good while.

Re: Scheduler problem
Hello Andy, Thank you very much for detailed request. I will try to provide you all information. Do you have any other 6.2 clients on Windows? If yes, do they experience the problem? I have a few servers with single CAD and single scheduler from TSM Client 6.2.0.0. All of them running fine. At the same time, I have two servers, running MS SQL database, with single CAD service and two schedulers related to dedicated TSM nodes. I have realized I have problem on the both of them: 1) on the first server, which was reported to ADSM-L, regular backup for operating system is missed every day, but there is no problem with MS SQL backup; 2) on the second server, regular backup is running fine, but MS SQL backup is missed every day. How many CAD instances are installed, and how many scheduler instances are installed (you should use one CAD per node, and each unique TSM application should have its own node). Unfortunately, I have only one CAD service and two schedulers (for regular and TDP nodes). Maybe it is a wrong configuration, but it was used for many years with TSM Client 5.X, 6.1.0, 6.1.1.X, 6.1.2.X and 6.1.3.X without any problems. Only after upgrading to 6.2.0.0 we faced problems.
