resource utilization question

2005-01-05 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
Given that resource utilization is set to 10 and $OBJ1 and $OBJ2 are variables 
containing multiple filesystem names... and the following command is issued:   

$TSMDIR/dsmc archive -server=tsmpc1 -subdir=yes -archmc=keep_07_years $OBJ1 
$OBJ2 1 $TSMDIR/dsmsched.log

Will $OBJ1 and $OBJ2 execute sequentially or in parallel?  Will the filesystems 
stored within $OBJ1 and $OBJ2 execute sequentially or in parallel?

Keep in mind that TDP Oracle just passes on what Oracle/Rman asks it to.
So for DB estimation, TDP Oracle uses the value that Oracle passes to it
(which probably is overestimated). If compression is turned on then this
value is grossly overestimated.

Re: TDP Oracle Question

2004-05-24 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
Bruce, 

You should make sure that the percentage utilized in your storage pool is 0% prior to 
running your backup.  Also, are any other backups running.  Keep in mind that once TSM 
sees that it's going to need 133Gig of disk to backup the Oracle db, it will attempt 
to lock that amount of the stg pool.  If the full amount is not available, it will go 
to the next stg pool.

Re: TDPO for Oracle

2004-03-23 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
You may want to break the link to prevent TDP from using the INCLEXCL file that's 
normally in a dsm.sys file.  If you don't, you'll generate errors.  If linked, and 
commented out, your normal backups
won't have an INCLEXCL file, hence, you'll backup everything on your client server 
during your regular client backup.

Did you check the basics of, as oracle, or your tdpo user:

   # env | grep DSM

Make sure the DSMI variables point to the right locations, then verify those
files are readable by your user.

If after verifying this, you might want to let us know what version of
oracle, tdpo and tsmc you have on this node.

Michael,

Yes my client and server are on different networks, as will be the GIGE card relative 
to other NICs on the client.  I didn't want to get into maintaining a routing table, 
but if that's the only way to
ensure communication over the GIGE in both directions, I guess that'll have to do.  My 
next question, is that the only way to ensure bi-directional communication over the 
GIGE?

Is your TSM server on a different network from the client?  Is the GigE card on a 
different network then the other interface on the machine?  I would assume so, if that 
is the case, just set a
permenant route that points to the TSM server's network and tell it to go out the GigE 
interface to get there.  Man route to see the exact syntax.  Once the client connects 
over that interface, the
TSM server should use that IP to call the box (if that's how you have scheduling 
setup).

My understanding of TCPCLIENTADDRESS is different. We use it for multi-homed boxes 
that have a separate NIC that connects to a private, internal, GIGE subnet so that the 
backups are pushed across it
versus the public subnet.

To verify this, when I check the details for a TSM node (on the TSM server), the IP 
address it shows changes to the private subnet, not the public one that was previously 
being used.

Re: GIGE connectivity via TSM

2004-03-23 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
Bill,

I hate to beat this... but my situationa is as follows:  I have a TSM server residing 
on Z/OS with an FQDN and one IP address (as far as I know).  My client has multiple 
NICs.  We want to use a
particular GIGE card exclusively for backup/restore and the others for applications, 
so we can't disable the others.
My server's IP is not on the same subnet as my client's GIGE card, so the default 
route would not be over the GIGE.

QUESTIONS:  1.  Do I need to statically route the client GIGE ip address to the Server 
Ip address in the client's routing table?

2.  Does this ensure that data coming from the server to the client 
will come down that path as well.  (I don't want to fall into your I had a client... 
scenario.

If you use the GIGE address of the TSM server in your DSM.OPT file on the
client, then the BACKUP data will go over the GIGE card. Any data FROM the
TSM server TO the client will go out the network adapter on the TSM server
however TCPIP routing takes it. If you have multiple adapters in the TSM
server, the outbound traffic will first go the adapter that is on the same
subnet as the client. If the GIGE and client are not on the same subnet,
then the traffic will go out the default route unless you have a specific
ROUTE in effect. If you want ALL data to go in and out the GIGE card, either
disable the other adapters, or change the default route to be the GIGE
adapter.

I had a client that had in their AIX TSM server  1 10/100 card and 2 GIGE
cards ALL set to the same subnet. Backup inbound data to the TSM server came
in over the GIGE adapter, but since the 10/100 card was the default route,
all outbound traffic, and that included RESTOREs went out the 10/100. They
couldn't figure out why restores too so long.

don't want to deploy companywide

The first line excludes any file systems that may be added to a client without our

Re: TDPO configuration file locations

2004-02-09 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
Jason,

It goes as follows.  When initiating a TDP backup, the tdpo.opt file is referenced.  
That calls the dsm.opt which in turn calls the dsm.sys.

The tdpo.opt and the dsm.opt should be in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64. (just 
bin if you're not running 64 bit)

The dsm.sys has to be in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 directory.  In this 
directory Break the symlink to /usr/bin.  Comment out the Inclexcl statement.  Change 
password access from generate to
prompt.

I also strongly recommend creating a seperate domain for your database backups as does 
the manual. Set the management class to 1-0-0-0.  You can also set it as the default 
management class.

You should also consider changing the filespace name to something other than adsmorc.  
In the event that you have multiple oracle instances on the same client, it is much 
more managable when they each
have a unique name.  e.g  If the database gets put to rest, you can simply delete 
the filespace for that database.  Not so easy if you have 3 or 4 databases all writing 
to filespace adsmorc.  (you
set the filespace name in the tdpo.opt file).  You will need to create a unique 
tdpo.opt file for each database.

Regarding your question, when is the data going to expire.  The answer is NEVER until 
you run a deletion script.

ANU2508E wrong write state

2004-01-10 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
Need help...

I'm getting this message prior to the TDP for Oracle backup failure.  It transmits 
appx 6G over 3 channels, but then generates the following errors in the tdpoerror.log. 
 I'm not that concerned with
the ANU2602E or the ANS4994S, but I am concerned with the ANU2508E.  Also, there is 
very little documentation on the error.
We (tsm admins) did not change any configuration on our side, and the DBA's state they 
made no changes on their side.  There is nothing in the actlog to indicate there is a 
problem.  My initial
question is, what is in the Wrong write state?  And my next question is, how do I 
resolve?  Before I call support, does anyone have any insight?

dsmc restore /Prod_App/example/test/* /var/tmp/ -subdir=yes

Backup with 2 channels to 3590 drives. TSM Servers is 4.2.2.8 and TDP is 2.2.1.
Backup and restore time are about 1 hour.
Is the hardware of your clone different to your production system?
I think you should check all components in your setup (CPU, memory, disk I/O, 
network configuration, TDP config files ..)
Try to FTP a big file to this server. If it's faster it could be a TDP problem, 
otherwise
I would check hardware and network.
What OS are you running on (W2K, Unix ..)?

 Is there a method for checking beforehand
 whether the current backup session is going
 to be a base or a meta backup?
 This info would be used to prevent - or at least
 warn the user to not to use diap-up lines for
 huge backup sessions.

 Not an issue - it's not the SESSION that is a base or meta
 backup, it's at
 the FILE level.
 Only the particular FILE that has changed enough since the
 base backup will
 start a new base.
 So it probably won't matter to most users if a few files
 require a new base.

 The only thing I know of that will cause the entire session
 to be a base
 backup, is deleting the /baclient/cache subdirectory.


Base is file-related!
This is a bit of understading which I missed.
Thank you very much for this explanation

Re: Multiple nodenames for Solaris client

2003-10-15 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
Duane,

Create a new stanza in your dsm.sys file with a new Servername and new nodename.

e.g.

SE=another_server (have it resolve to the same TCPP you'd normally go to)
nodename=another_node (call it whatever the name of your new client is)

Then you start a second scheduler as follows:

./dsmc sched -se=another_server

Now you're new node is associated with the above scheduler.

Grep for dsmc and ensure that both your scheduler daemons are running.

Try doing a move data to get the data off of the tape.  If I find I am
starting to have problems I usually do a:

update vol VOLUMENAME acc=reado
move data VOLUMENAME

This should move all data that is recoverable from the volume to another
volume in the same storage pool.  I then eject the offending volume and
check it for apparent physical issues.  Then the part I hate:

delete vol VOLUMENAME discarddata=yes

Sometimes I am able to re-label the volume and use it again.  But
typically it gets moved to a less critical use, returned to the vendor
for a new tape [my preferred method], or degaused and distroyed by
a certified vendor [least preferred, paying to have it thrown away].

If anyone has a better method, please let me know! ... JC

Currently in the process of upgrading from TSM client v4.2.1 to TSM client v5.2.0 on

Although the backup schedules appear to be running without incident, (i.e. no error 
messages and nothing odd in the dsmsched.log or dsmerror.log) if I log into the client 
and issue dsmc q fi, the last
incremental date is the date in which we upgraded to TSMv5.2.0.  Scheduled backups 
have, however, successfully executed since then.
I did some further testing.  I created a new file on /, and ran dsmc incr.  The new 
file does not get backed up.  However, if I run dsmc incr /, the file does get backed 
up.  Can anyone shed any
light on this.  Help would be greatly appreciated as I've rolled this out to 
production servers and can not afford to go much longer without knowing my backups are 
valid.  thx

 Being a Linux bigot, I managed to convince a new client to opt for a Linux TSM

 you can help I might have to. Here's
the problem.

 Server Version 5.2.0.2 on Redhat 9
 Client Version 5.1.6.2 on Redhat 7.3

 The TSM server has no tape library or drive but is totally file based (400GB using 
 software raid0)

 Client backups are done via the crontab using /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc 
 incr

 The server just hangs during a client backup operation.nothing in the activity 
 report. Eventually the client times out but unfortunately the dsmc incr stays in 
 the process queue. The next day,
cron dutifully fires off another backup and so it goes. Eventually after a call from a 
frustrated customer, I have to start the server manually and run the backup manually. 
(Seriously not good!!)

 Also, if a backup is running and you happen to do one too many q act requests, the 
 server hangs.

 By the way, only the TSM application hangs, not Linux itself.

 Has anyone experience with Linux TSM server and seen similar problems?

Re: TSM on Mainframe

Brian,

In my situation, I'm getting charged for MIPS usage on the mainframe as well as staff 
employees that support the mainframe.  The tape issue turns out to be a wash for us 
since we'd use the same tape
libs.  DASD you're paying for in either case.
We did the same exact eval that you're doing right now.  Initially it seemed like a 
no brainer.  We had spare MIPS on the frame and figured, why not use them.  Once we 
started using them, the
complaints/bills started flying.  Complaints due to the large amount of MIPS TSM 
consumes, the bill for the MIPS usage.  Even though they're spare MIPS, we still get 
charged for them (again, internal
funny money).
Money aside, the staffing and maintenance schedule is enough to keep me off the 
mainframe.  But, as always, each decision has to be based on your companies core 
competencies, budget and hardware
availability.  And finally, If I were starting from scratch, AIX implementation hands 
down.

Not exactly. We are currently running TSM 4.2.1.9 on a 9672-R44 running
OS/390 2.10 and we have been doing an evaluation on moving TSM from OS/390
on to AIX. While the cost of the AIX hardware is relatively cheap we still
need to incur DASD costs in the form of SAN and Tape costs, not to mention
the need to develop cron jobs on AIX to handle tape processing , on OS/390
you do not have to define volumes, drives or the library to TSM. Also we
found that the licensing costs of TSM itself on AIX were actually higher
than the mainframe costs. Granted we are tied into tape media (STK 9840)
and our management is not looking to replace that media but even if we did
the cost is still slightly higher for us on AIX.

Bad... total cost of ownership is too high.  Too many fingers in the pie
(tape group, dasd group, TCPIP group, operations etc...  When you begin to
figure out total cost of ownership, you have to add
all of these support teams into the equation, not to mention the internal
charge (funny money) for MIPS usage on the mainframe that you'll incur. TSM
will also be at the mercy of the mainframe IPL
schedule as well, which typically is on Saturday night into Sunday morning
(a window that you really want open for your large archives or db backups)

If you're on any other platform, your costs should drop significantly.
e.g.  If you have a P690, you have 1 SA managing that server.  You don't
need nearly the staff that you'd require for a
mainframe solution.  How often does an AIX or Sun machine have to be taken
down for maintenance? (not often).  And finally, a P690's I/O is comparable
to a mainframes.

If you get the budget, go with a big Unix system.  Run screaming from the
mainframe solution.  You'll save a lot of headaches and meetings.  Just my
opinion.

Do you have that implemented on file servers as well?

We use subfile backup even on local desktops, works great.

Cut our daily load by about 30%.

From 4.1 onwards there is Adaptive sub-file backup for Mobile Clients.
I don't use it or know much about it but I think it allows you to backup
the changed bytes/blocks of a file on a laptop rather than the whole
changed file.
This may be of some use to you depending on the data they are backing up.

Cheers
John

The organization I work for has four main establishments. Typically,
someone
will go on mission to another establishment and perform a backup of his
laptop. Since his dsm.opt points to a server that that is hundreds, if
not,
thousands of kilometers away, this backup will be done over the WAN and
not the
usual LAN. Occasionally, this user might even attempt to backup 1 or 2 GBs
over
the WAN. This obviously causes some problems.

What to do about this? Blocking the port in the firewall comes to mind but
that
is not a real answer.  Has anybody encountered this problem and what, if
anything, did you do? Thank you...

Such backups have to be painful for the laptop user as well.  I should
think
that following the procedures outlined in the Windows client manual under
Performing a backup with limited bandwidth should yield relief.
There is a whitepaper on the IBM site describing it in fuller detail.

EMC Symmetrix ?

2003-03-26 Thread Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS)
Need help!!!  I currently have 2 identical servers using EMC Symmetrix.  Since the 
apps and data are identical on both servers, how do I prevent backing up the data on 
both of these servers as either
can be the primary at any given time?  Any recommendations would be greatly 
appreciated.

Regards, Joe


Re: EMC Symmetrix ?

Sorry for the confusion... these are clients that I don't want backing up double the 
data to TSM.

If I understand ur question ,u want to have both TSM Server up but only one
TSM active any given time with automated script schedule.Then.
Disable client schedules .If I am correct there is a command by which we can
disable all schedules on TSM server.If u don't want to shut down TSM server.
