SAN and Tape Drives
Hi, we want to implement a small SAN (2 TSM servers on Sun Solaris, 1 Disk Array, 1 Tape Library), and we have a problem with HBA QLogic QLA2200. Tape support option on QLA2200 is enabled, but from Solaris I see only disks and I can't see tape drives. What is wrong? Does anybody have similar problem? Many thanks for any help. Viliam Varga
Re: error message
Hi Oscar. Normally the install path for the ADSM/TSM server is /usr/lpp//bin, and normally this is the same destination path you would assign for the volume history file in your dsmserv.opt. I had a problem like this before and it turned out that the filesystem: /usr was 100% full (df -k), because my dsmsched.log file was very big.

DRM prpare files
Maybe a silly question but; When I do a DRM Prepare I get the PlanFile.description file in my defined path. (I've defined the paths as follows...Recovery Plan Prefix: /xx/u/server/recoveryplans/) Is this the only file that DRM creates to help with the disaster/recovery?? The rpp. files I have to create by myself or?? Henrik Hansson Nomafa AB Mail; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DRM prpare files
By design, the Disaster Recovery Manager creates one file. However, this file is actually a number of files concatenated together. I'm not sure about other installations, but the Network Storage Manager 3466 implementation comes with a sample awk script to break the disaster recovery plan file down into its separate macros and scripts to be used during the actual recovery process. So, look real well at the plan file and find a way to break it into the respective sub-files. Be careful though. Some of those scripts could be fatal to a live system! John G. Talafous Sr. Tech.

Re: Backupsets appear empty on client
You can restore just a file - you have to tell it where - ex: First you have to tell it the drive the tape is located in - ex - our drive 1 in one of our ATL robots is dev/rmt/0mt - Then the location of the file filespacename:\winnt\system32\odbc.ini Best thing to do is to look at the Admin book of the platform of the client - I think each platform has a different syntax. Yes, backupset is the same name as instant archive. Personally, this functionality needs enhancements and many of them - such as automation, a faster way to retrieve the files, etc. -Original Message- From: MacDonald, David DA [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 8:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Backupsets appear empty on client "If you want TSM to estimate the amount of time it takes to process your files and directories, click the Estimate button." The Estimate window reported zero files would be restored, however when I ran the actual restore, the files started flowing. Weird. So it's only possible to restore the entire backupset?

Your TSM administrator creates backup sets from your active files on the server. Backup sets are written in a format that can be read directly by the client. If a backup set is created on a device that is supported by the TSM server and your client machine, then you can take the backup set volumes to your client machine and restore your data directly from the locally attached device. Alternatively, you can restore a backup set directly from the server. Examples of supported media devices are: tape, CD-ROM drives, removable disk drives like JAZ drives and ZIP drives. These tape devices are supported: DLT, 4mm, 8mm, 3590, and 3570. Contact your TSM administrator to find out how often backup sets are created and what devices are supported. You might want to restore data from backup sets in these situations. To restore your data from backup sets: 1. Click the Restore button in the Tivoli Storage Manager window. The Restore window appears. 2. Expand the directory tree if necessary. To expand a node in the tree, click the plus sign (+) next to an object in the tree. 3. Locate the object in the tree named Backup Sets and expand it. 4. If you want to restore the data from the backup sets on the server, expand the Server object. If you are restoring data from a backup set on a locally attached device, first define the backup set location, then expand the Local object. 5. Your backup sets appear in the tree and are grouped by backup set descriptions. Expand a backup set description to see the backup sets with that description. 6. Click the selection boxnext to the backup set that you want to restore. 7. Click the Restore button. The Restore Destination window appears. 8. Fill in the Restore Destination window, then click the Restore button to start the restore. The Task List window appears showing the progress of the restore. Considerations: · Backup sets can contain data from multiple filespaces. If you specify a restore destination other than the original, all of the data from all the filespaces will be restored in the specified destination. · If you want to change the options for your restore, click the Modify Restore Options button in the Restore Options window. · If you want TSM to estimate the amount of time it takes to process your files and directories, click the Estimate button. Note: The Estimated Transfer Time field reads N/A if no files have ever been sent to or from the current TSM server. -Original Message- From: MacDonald, David DA [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 14, 2000 10:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Backupsets appear empty on client Hi all, We're having some problems getting backupsets to work.

Your specific documentation can be created as one or all of the following files in the \server directory: RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.OFFSITE RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.INSTALL RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.DATABASE RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.STGPOOL Remember that your DR plan should be able to be carried out without you. With this in mind, we break out the file before sending the diskette off site, for NT servers you will have to use Rexx to breakout the macro's.. The poor sap who gets to do the recovery may not know what Rexx is or where to find it. Doing the breakout on the front end make life easier. Rexx is available from the Technet CD or NT server resource kit CD, I think!. Personally I think Tivoli should bundle Rexx with TSM. Also, the should give you the option to give the prepare file a standard name as an alternative to the DATE.TIME format of the file name.

This SQL script must be executed with sqlplus connected to rman database: col handle for a30 set echo off set verify off set feedback off set heading off set pagesize 0 spo delete_backup.cmd; select 'connect target;' from dual; select 'allocate channel for delete type ''SBT_TAPE'';' from dual; select 'change backuppiece '''||handle||''' delete;' from rc_backup_piece a, rc_database b where a.db_key=b.db_key and status ='A' and completion_time SYSDATE-20 and b.name='MYDB'; select 'release channel;' from dual; spool off; exit; As you can see, it dynamically generate another script ready to be run with rman. You have only to customize the date (SYSDATE-20) and the DB-name (MYDB). After execution of rman you should execute also the script prgrmanc.sql, but remember that in some version of this script there is a bug. Best regards.

Performance problem on some clients
Hello, Any help would be appreciated. We are seeing a ADSM performance problem with the IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 machines. Given a 16mb file it will take 2min to backup the one file on a 100mb ethernet network to our ADSM server. The same file on a IBM netfinity 7000 or Compaq Proliant will take under 2 seconds. All our M10 machines have the same performance problem. We have tried a variety of IBM and Compaq NIC cards with out success. One of the machines with a performance problem is a 7RY 4 way 500MZH with 4 gig of memory. We are also seeing the same type of problem with the IBM F50 AIX boxes. Anyone have any experience with these machines and ADSM?
Possible reasons for Missed backups?
Using the QUERY EVENT command, I see a list of completed, missed, and failed backups. I assume that the 'missed' are due to a defunct/inactive client scheduler, or a loss of connectivity to the host. Are there other possible reasons, perhaps scheduling oriented or otherwise, to explain why a client is 'missed'?
apple script
Dear ADSM-Users, I'm running the ADSM client V3, Rev.1, Lev.0.5 on a Mac G3. Since I'm not regularly working on this machine, I do not run scheduled backups, I'd rather prefer to run a backup just before shutting down the machine. Is there any way (a) to tell ADSM to shut down the Mac after completion of the backup (not the scheduled one), or (b) to write some apple script telling ADSM to do a backup, and then shut down the computer? I hope the question is not too silly - I'm new in this list, and did not found any answer in the archive of the last two months...

Re: Performance problem on some clients
Have you isolated it to ADSM, i.e. is it a network problem only? Try FTP'ing a 16mb file in and out and see how long it takes. If its only ADSM, someone else in this group will need to reply; I'm not an ADSM guru. If its network generic, you need to have it looked at by someone in your networking group or IBM. Just because you have tried various combinations of NICs does not rule out misconfiguration, switch or router problems, excessive retries or collisions, etc. Good luck.

Re: Performance problem on some clients
One thing I've seen with regard to 100Mb Ethernet is to make sure that the cards are not set to auto-negotiate. Instead set them for the speed and duplex of your network. I have seen cards negotiate to 100Mb, but half-duplex. Both on clients and the TSM servers on different platforms (NT, AIX,...). Bill Boyer DSS, Inc. "A Life? COOL!

Delete Vol History
I would like to know what is the standard setting for deleting the volhistory. Particularly if you perform a daily dbbackup how many copies is normally kept without becoming excessive.

Possible reasons for Missed backups?
Others reasons for backups not completing on UNIX servers are: The O/S on the client has been reloaded and the TSM/ADSM software is missing Stale NFS handles - this is usually when a filesystem was mounted to something that no longer exists. There is a hardware problem on the client filesystem that it is trying to back up.

setting default gateway on 3494
Can anyone tell me how to set the "default gateway" on a 3494. - Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages get email alerts with Yahoo! Messenger.
Re: setting default gateway on 3494
Can anyone tell me how to set the "default gateway" on a 3494. As I recall, this is done during 3494 installation, in OS/2 mode, upon invoking the HOSTINST command, where a virtual "flip-book" will appear so that you can click on tabs within it, including a Network tab. After installation, you could cd \tcpip\bin and enter the OS/2 command 'tcpipcfg' and click in the Network tab, which I think will have that setting. I last did this years ago, and things may have changed... Richard Sims, BU
several storage pools in one library
Hello Is it possible to have several different storage pools for different clients accessing a shared group of drives in a single library. if so how would i do it. thank you
Re: 3494 and RS6000 SP connection
I don't see why they say it wouldn't work. You'll probably need some sort of rs-232 adapter in the node though. For what it's worth, having been connected via rs232 (not from an SP) but now connected via ethernet, I won't go back. The access speed and reliablility of ethernet over serial, not to mention distance restrictions in serial land, is why.

Re: several storage pools in one library
Yes, Just define the storage pools using the device class for your library. We have four domains, each points to different storage pool. All the storage pools use the same tape library. One of these pools uses co-location and is used for large clients, the rest are divided among the remaining three.

Re: 3494 and RS6000 SP connection
Tom, I had a 3494 connected to a Silver node via Serial - my CE set it up for me. However, when we went to the DR site, no one there could figure out how to do it. I'd recomend you go ahead and put in the appropriate networking connection. When it comes to supporting it, you'll be better off.

Re: 3494 and RS6000 SP connection
Yes, previously I have 3494 connected to sliver node (tty port) via rs232. A few months ago, that adsm server was migrated from sliver node to nighthawk, again 3494 is connected to tty port via rs-232. Thanks. Regards, Eric Tang
