client and server IP address in different schedule mode
Hi all, I would like to know whether there is difference between schedule polling and prompt mode in terms of server and client IP address. The scenario is: We changed the schedule mode to be prompt but the server cannot contact the client; but the client can contact the server. We found the server try to contact client with a IP address which is not that client's. But it worked before, I guess it was set to polling mode. If client schedule set to polling mode, will it contact server with one IP address (if there are multiple IP addresses on this client) and server ALWAYS use it as the client IP address? Will it overwrite the IP which is known on server when the client contact server at the first time? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Phillip Guan

Here is the text of the APAR to fix the problem.

APAR= IC27152 DOC
MAJOR ERRORS IN MANUAL SH26-4113-00 TDP FOR ORACLE FOR WINDOWS
UNIX SYNTAX USED IN MULTIPLE PLACES.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
* USERS AFFECTED: TDP for Oracle for Windows*
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:Numerous errors found in this*
* publication, as described in the PROBLEM CONCLUSION: section.*
* RECOMMENDATION: Correct all errors indicated in APAR, as soon*
* as possible.*
PROBLEM CONCLUSION: Listed below are the problems and
their corrections (in quotes):
1. First of all our readme file says this.
>No environment variables are required for use with TDP for
Oracle and their use is NOT RECOMMENDED.
If you want to use the dsm.opt file from a locationother
than the default location, use environment variable
DSMI_ORC_CONFIG.
"The readme is correct. The following has been added the book:
"Environment variables are not required for use with TDP for
Oracle. However, if environment variables are used, consider
the following information."
2. There needs to be some correspondence between the readme and
the book regarding the environment variables.
"See revision/correction in #1."
3. On page 7 it describes the installation procedure. Step 3
says "Click Finish to complete the setup" If you go through
the install after completed step2, you are not presented
with a Finish button, you must select Next a few times
including a section of selecting an installation directory.
"Step 3 is revised as follows: Follow the prompts until
the installation is completed."
4. Page 8 is titled Defining Environment Variables. Itshould
talk about the differences between Oracle 7 andOracle 8.
There is an example for one of the environment variables,
but it should show the syntax in each example.Also,
regarding the set option, it should specify that thismust be
placed in a command script.
"After consulting with Development, it was concluded that
there are nosignificant differences between Oracle7 and
and Oracle8 worthy of describingin this section. However, the
following example syntax for DSMI_LOG was revised toinclude
Oracle7 and Oracle8 examples as follows:
For example, if the error log directory is c:\agentorc, enter:
For Oracle7:
set DSMI_LOG=c:\agentorc
For Oracle8:
RMAN> allocate channel
c1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(DSMI_LOG=c:\agentorc)'
5. On Page 18, everything is wrong.
To setup RMAN with TDP for Oracle on Oracle8:
1. Link RMAN with TDP for Oracle. Before relinking, make
sure that no other Oracle process is running. Shut down
all the databases and listeners, and so forth.
The following is a example of linking the Oracle8
objects with the TivoliDataProtection library:
*c:> cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
*c:> make -f ins_rdbms.mk LLIBMM=/usr/lib/libobk.aioracle
Verify that the relinking process completes.
To use RMAN with TDP for Oracle on Oracle8 Version 8.1.5:
1. Shut down all Oracle instances that useORACLE_HOME
2. Remove the libobk.so symbolic link:
*rm $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so
*Note: This example uses .so for the shared library suffix.
*If the shared library suffix on your platform is not .so,
*modify the filenames in these examples to match your
*shared library suffix.
3. Symbolically link the library file to libobk.so:
*ln -s /usr/lib/libobk.so &ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so
4. Start the Oracle instances.
The items preceeded by an asterisk (*) are ONLY done on
a UNIX system.
"This section ("Setting Up RMAN") has been removedbecause it
does not pertain to Windows NT. This linking is done internally
(due to Oracle requirements)and is not performed by the user.
The "Using RMAN" section has been renamed "Invoking RMAN."
6. On Page 19 these instructions are not valid.
To get a TSM trace, add these options to your dsm.opt file:
c: temp trace.out traceflag api api_detail pid
There must be separate lines for TRACEFILE and TRACEFLAG
"The TRACEFILE and TRACEFLAG example has been placed on separate
lines as follows:
c:\temp\trace.out
traceflag api api_detail pid
7. On page 21 these instructions are not valid.
If You Cannot Start TDP for Oracle:
If you encounter a problem while using TDP for Oracle or if
youcannot start TDP for Oracle, collect the following
information:
*The dsm.sys file
*The dsm.opt file
*The dsmo.env file that demonstrates your use of
environment variables.
To create the dsmo.env file, enter:
First of all the dsm.sys file only exists on Unix systems.
Second the syntax describing how to generate thedsmo.env
will on work on a Unix system.

Re: schedule daemon and password

That is, if you used the Windows client to back up a file, only the Windows client can get the file attributes. The TSM server is not aware of individual file attributes per se.

Hi all, We want to set up a seperate schedule to backup a client machine, the two backup schduler on same node backs up normal filesystems. I want to know how to do it, where to put the dsm.opt and dsm.sys file, how to setup env variables. Thanks. Best regards, Phillip
Netware client
On a Netware client backing up to a TSM 3.7.3 Server we are getting quite a few of the following errors which are not showing up on our other Netware clients. The filesystem on this netware server is pretty full (5% free) but otherwise I can't say i see anything unusual. This error is pretty vague. Why is it failing? Does anyone have any ideas here?: ANS1228E Sending of object 'object-nameobject-nameobject-name' failed Explanation: The specified file (object-name) cannot be sent to the server. System Action: File skipped. User Response: Retry the operation. If the problem continues, see your system administrator to isolate the problem through use of the server console. Thanks. Phillip
HSM on NT/Netware?
I have a client who'd like to run HSM on NT and especially Netware. Looking at Tivoli's site it looks like it's only supported on AIX/Solaris as those are the only platforms it mentions. Is this true? I'm just looking for a confirmation.. Anyone know of any other products that provide similar functionality particularly on netware? Thanks, Gerald Wichmann Sansia System Solutions
NDS Backups
I'm not familiar with NDS at all but the question has been brought up on how TSM handles NDS particularly on other platforms? Can we back up NDS on NT? Sun? ETC? Thanks! Gerald Wichmann
TSM clients ever fail?
Does the TSM client ever give up when its performing a scheduled backup and it loses contact with the TSM server? It doesn't seem so.. Server - TSM 3.7.3 on AIX 4.3.3 client - NT4 with TSM 3.7.2 Created a schedule with a 30 minute window. The client started it's backup in that 30 minute window as expected. On purpose (to see how TSM would handle it) we unplugged the RJ45 from the TSM server about 5 minutes into the backup. What we wanted to see is since the client runs a pre schedule command that shuts down the database, if during the backup the client lost network connectivity with the TSM server, would it time out and start the database back up on it's own? It seems not.. After unplugging the TSM server from the network, the client begins generating TCP errors in dsmerror.log. The sessions time out on the server side and the server closes them (after 15 minutes). The TSM server also eventually flags the schedule as failed. But this is where it gets weird. After about 45 minutes the client was still sitting there generating TCP errors and wouldn't give up. I figured once it got past 15 minutes and outside it's backup window it would give up. It didn't.. Even more strange we eventaully about an hour after running this, decided to plug the TSM server back into the network. Despite the fact that the server had marked the backup as failed, the client immediately resumed sending data to the server as if nothing ever went wrong. And the TSM server let it! This is a problem.. if the TSM server ever loses connection to the network i could have any number of servers with shut down applications until someone picks up on all this. What borught all this up in the first place is we lost DNS a few weeks ago, creating a situation such as the above. The place was a mess until we went around cancelling backups and restarting applications. Why doesnt the client give up if it can't talk to the server? You'd think it would eventually.. will it ever give up? Gerald Wichmann Sansia System Solutions
NT registry security
Question: on backing up Windows NT4, we've noticed TSM creates the adsm.sys directory where it dumps the registry and user info/passwords so it can back it up. This is all fine however is it just me or does this create a huge security hole? By default on NT4, that directory is created with permissions that give "everyone" "change" permissions. Thus *IF* i'm able to view the local filesystem, i can then easily go into that directory and run very commonly available password cracking programs to retrieve all the local users and passwords. Now, remotely i don't believe the average user can see that directory. However if that same user has privs to login locally at the console they can definetly view it. Also if the box happens to run IIS, there are tons of exploits commonly available that allow a user to also view the local filesystem. This is because the "internet guest account" thats created by IIS has privs to log in locally. Ok so theres a threat of someone internally trying this at a console. There's also a threat that someone externally could use IIS exploits to do the same thing. Once i have the local admin password (not the domain admin passwrd), chances are good the local admin password is the same on other NT boxes as well. I mean how many shops have a different local admin password on ALL their boxes? Not many i suspect. Perhaps even their domain admin password is the same as their local admin password. Even if i can't use that password on other boxes, I can definetly install some sniffers and other hacking tools to do even more damage. Install viruses.. destroy that box. Obtain domain passwords.. whatever.. now if i could think of this, and i'm not a security expert, i would imagine others have as well. I was able to locally log in with a non admin user account and use a commonly available tool to get the local admin password. >From there i can think of lots that i can do with that. All because the adsm.sys directory has change permissions for everyone. so has anyone else brought this issue up? Is it common knowledge? Why doesn't Tivoli do something about it? Or perhaps i'm missing something? And if i'm able to think of this, what other ways could someone compromise the system using this info that i WASNT able to think of? I would love to hear other's comments on this.. Does it concern anyone? Gerald Wichmann Sansia System Solutions
hard cut-off time
Hi all, We have an environment where we'd like to implement a hard cut-off time for backups to our TSM server. There are some boxes that start and stop a database or do other pre and post commands that can't afford to still be doing backups when a certain point in the morning comes up. In fact we don't really want any backups going outside of a certain window. If they're still going, we'd prefer they just fail and cancel their sessions and run their post commands. Is there an easy way to implement this in TSM? To cut off any backup sessions and put the server in a disable sessions mode or something along those lines? or do i have to script that via KSH/Perl and do queries and parse out the info and so forth to get the same effect? Thanks, Phillip Guan
