Re: Tracking restores?

[Williams, Tim]

I like to refer to the dsmaccntg.log (accounting).
Do a q status command and look for the "Accounting" field is it on
or off???
Fields 14 and 18 may be of interest to you:
14
  Number of archived database objects retrieved during the
session
18
  Number of backup database objects retrieved during the session

FYI Thanks Tim

How can I track client restores from a cental location?

Re: Tracking restores?

[Williams, Tim]

Turn on accounting
q status to see if accounting is turned on
Use fields 14 and 18 (ref the admin guide and/or reference).
Turning on accouting will start to historically track all sessions
and write to a file (dsmaccnt.log).

Re: Help! Cross-Client restore via ebu fails

[Steve Harris]

Jens,

Fortunately I've just done this : its not too hard.

If you are using one ebu catalog for the whole complex (as recommended by
oracle) then there is nothoing to do on the oracle side.  If you need do
need to point to a different ebu catalog then

ebutool -stopbrd

edit $ORACLE_HOME/obackup/admin/catalog.ebu and point it to the desired
catalog.


Next copy your encrypted password file ADSMO.client_name from the source
system to some local place, also the opt file

set up your environment variables something like this. My local place is
~steveh and the client name is cerner_prod_ora
( This is probably overkill as I use the same script to set up for other
API function using adsmpipe)
export DSM_DIR=/usr/lpp/adsm/bin
export DSM_LOG=~steveh/dsmerror.log

export DSMI_DIR=/usr/lpp/adsm/api/bin
export DSMI_CONF=/usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsm.sys
export DSMI_LOG=~steveh/dsierror.log

#export DSMI_ORC_DIR=/usr/lpp/adsmagent/aob  ;# default
export DSMI_ORC_CONFIG=~steveh/cerner_prod_ora_dsm.opt
export DSMO_AVG_SIZE=75 ;# average size of objects in MB default is 50
export DSMO_FS=/cerner_prod_ebu ;# filespace to use
export DSMO_NODE=cerner_prod_ora
export DSMO_PSWDPATH=~steveh

export OBK_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/obackup

export EBU_HOME=$OBK_HOME
for d in "$ORACLE_HOME/bin" "$EBU_HOME/bin"
do
  if echo $PATH | grep -q $d
  then :
  else export PATH=$PATH:$d
  fi
done

export OBK_DB_LOGIN="ebuuser/ebupass@ebuinstance"
export EBU_CAT_LOGIN=$OBK_DB_LOGIN


Then run your ebu restore script using the host keyword of the restore
command.

Don't forget to change back $ORACLE_HOME/obackup/admin/catalog.ebu  at the
end of the restore if you need to.

Re: Capacity figures not quite working out...why?

[Alex Paschal]

Daniel, here are some things you might try to account for your
discrepancies.

use mtlib to get a list of volumes & categories, then count how many tapes
are in each category
also use "select count(*) from volumes where location in
('VAULT','VAULTRETRIEVE','COURIERRETRIEVE',etc)
your select gets even onsite mountable drmedia
check to see if:
number of scratch tapes matches number of libvol scratch tapes
number of libvol private matches number of volumes in private category

Or you can do what I would do and use brute force.  Use mtlib to get the
list of volumes in the library, grep and awk it to get just the volsers, put
it in a file (such as mtlibvols); then "dsmadmc q vol", grep and awk it to
get just the volsers, "dsmadmc q libvol status=scratch", again, grep and awk
it to get just volsers, cat the list of scratch to the list of vol to a file
(such as alladsmvols), then egrep -vf alladsmvols mtlibvols.  That'll give
you volumes in the library that are not known to ADSM as vols or scratches.
Some might be dbbackups, but the rest will be stuff you'll probably need to
figure out, possibly exports or something weird like that.  You can discount
dbbackups if you want to go through the extra step of "dsmadmc q drm", grep
and awk for only volsers, cat to alladsmvols, then "sort -un" it before
doing the egrep.

Good luck.

I've calculated my capacity as follows, but the numbers don't jibe.  Here
are how I calculate.

1)  Total offsite: select count(*) from drmedia
2)  Total tapes:  select count(*) from volumes where devclass_name='DEV3590'
3)  Total Scratch: select count(*) from libvolumes where status ='Scratch'
4)  # of tapes in library=(mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL | grep "number of cells")
minus (mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL | grep "available cells")
5)  Number of tapes Onsite=total tapes-total offsite.

tapes in library should equal scratch+onsite, but it doesn't.  Even giving a
little room for cleaning tapes.  Here are how my figures work out:

1)  594
2)  1069
3)  183
4)  804 (857-53)
5)  475 (1069-594)

Now shouldn't 4) equal 5) + 3) ??  How do I account for the hundred
uncounted tapes?

How do I determine the # of tapes allocated for cleaning?

Re: SAN support in TSM 4.1

[Alex Paschal]

Maria, if your goal is LAN-Free and not Server-Free, what you can try to do
is on all the servers with SAN connectivity, see if you can bind TCP/IP to
your SAN transport.  If you can, use a set of "private network" IP addresses
for each node on the SAN.  That will get your backups off of the LAN.

We have installed this tsm 4.1 version in a customer who is using a san

Can someome from Tivoli support confirm that the normal backup - archive

Hi, Geoff.  If you want to cron it, try
   crontab -e
add a line to the bottom that says
   0,4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56 * * * * /etc/ping -c 5

Or, if you just want to run it from the command line, try creating the
following file.  I named it pingalot in the command that follows.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
while :
do
   ping 192.168.1.1 -c 5
   sleep 240
done

command:
nohup ./pingalot >/dev/null 2>&1 &

What's the media cost?

It seems to me that most midrange tape media are priced by capacity and
cost of the previous generation less a small discount rather than any
relation to the actual cost of production.  Does this trend continue with
Ultrium?

As an IBM Business Partner we have been involved with LTO since early

Magstar 3590.

Right now we have several proposals out for the 3583 Scalable Ultrium
Library.  Other vendors are pitching DLT.  Our customers are leaning
towards us due to LTO's impressive price/performance ratio.

We have a lot of DLT drives, but they fail a lot.

We have looked at an IBM 3494 with 3590e's, but they are expensive and
Sunguard in Philadelphia only has only 4 drives.

Additional IBM 3590  drives are about $850 per month to have on contract.

We are currently researching an LTO robot and drives from IBM.   IBM calls
it an Anaconda or a Ultrium.

It is hardware that is a result of a consortium of Open Systems vendors.
It
is priced in the DLT range less than $10,000 per drive.

Anyone out there know anything good or bad.

Also, we are wondering how fast Sunguard will have this equipment.  Based
on
it's price we feel it will be soon.

Capacity figures not quite working out...why?

[Daniel Swan/TM]

I've calculated my capacity as follows, but the numbers don't jibe.  Here
are how I calculate.

1)  Total offsite: select count(*) from drmedia
2)  Total tapes:  select count(*) from volumes where devclass_name='DEV3590'
3)  Total Scratch: select count(*) from libvolumes where status ='Scratch'
4)  # of tapes in library=(mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL | grep "number of cells")
minus (mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL | grep "available cells")
5)  Number of tapes Onsite=total tapes-total offsite.

tapes in library should equal scratch+onsite, but it doesn't.  Even giving a
little room for cleaning tapes.  Here are how my figures work out:

1)  594
2)  1069
3)  183

Re: Tapes needed for a restore

[Nancy Reeves]

Since Kent's preview approach doesn't work for me, and 'show volusage' is
an unknown command, I'm coming to the conclusion that it can't be done
easily with the version I run. (server is ADSM for AIX 3.1.2.1) Although
the crude method suggested of making all tapes unavailable then running a
restore still has potential. An "upgrade" to TSM is in my future.

The "dry run" approach doesn't list the volume label needed, and the
option to skip all objects on this volume is not supported. Oh well.

Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming.

We have a couple of ways - I prefer (2) - more accurate (prompts for tape
numbers), but takes longer and isn't
implemented in every version of the client 'dsmc' program.

1) Brute-force approach - determine all tapes containing data for that
node/filespace - declare a server script
 run from the dsmadmc prompt  as:
adsm> run q_tape_recall nodename filespacename

  q_tape_recall: select node_name,filespace_name from filespaces -
where node_name=upper('$1') and filespace_name='$2' -
select volumeusage.stgpool_name, date(last_write_date)
as
LAST_WRITE, -
volumeusage.volume_name from volumeusage, volumes -
where volumeusage.node_name=upper('$1') -
and volumeusage.filespace_name='$2' -
and volumeusage.volume_name=volumes.volume_name -
order by volumeusage.stgpool_name, last_write

 2) Preview approach - run a dry-run restore, but specify a tempdir target
&
select 'skip all on this tape':
 # dsmc> restore -tapeprompt=yes -pick -preservepath=baseonly



  'tapeprompt=Yes|No' is a documented option of the 'dsmc> restore'
client
command.

'AUDIT VOLUME Fix=Yes' on primary disk pool volume

[Kent J. Monthei]

Solaris 2.6 5/98, ADSM 3.1.2.20 Server - After a night of successful backups to
the primary disk pool, during a morning Migration to tape my ADSM server began
reporting read-errors from a specific diskpool volume.  My diskpool just acts as
a transcient pool for the prior night's backups, is not mirrored and is not
cached.  Because migration did not complete before the errors began, some
portion of data from the night's backup was irretrievable.  To determine and to
recover what was retrievable, and to reconcile the DB with the readable
diskpool, here's what I did:

  1.  'Audit Volume Fix=No' - some but not all areas of the disk/volume were
damaged/unreadable;
  2.  'Audit Volume Fix=Yes' - completion state=FAILURE/FAILURE (attempted
twice)
  3.  'Move Data' (off the damaged volume) - completion
state=FAILURE/FAILURE/SUCCESS (attempted 3 times)
  4.  'Vary Volume Offline' / 'Update Volume Access=Destroyed' (manual commands)
  5.  'Restore Volume' - completion state=SUCCESS
  6.  'Audit Volume Fix=Yes' - completion state=SUCCESS

I cancelled the process in Step 1 after it had listed over 1000 damaged files.
I expected Step 4 to recover the readable/recoverable files, moving them to
other volumes in diskpool, expected Step 5 to recover any that had made it
successfully to Copypool during the original Migration, and expected Step 6 to
reconcile the diskpool and DB (remove any still-unreadable/unrecoverable
diskpool entries from the DB).

I thought that Step 6 was the end of the recovery process, to the extent we
could recover.
However, since then two unexpected things happened:

  1. To verify step 6, I ran 'dsm' from an affected node and checked a
known-damaged filename (one of the files listed as damaged in Step 1)
   - the backup for that date was still in the versions list for that
file
  2. After step 6, and again this morning (4 days later), I induced another
Migration
   - both Migrations paused/failed trying to access the 'Destroyed'
volume, until I did a
   'Update Volume Access=ReadOnly' / 'Vary Volume Online'

KEY QUESTIONS,
  Q1.  Why did the first two 'Audit Volume Fix=Yes' attempts fail ?
  Q2.  Why is Migration still prompting for the 'Offline'/ 'Destroyed' volume,
and how do I correct this ?
  Q3.  Is my DB 'clean' (reconciled) yet ?

Tapes needed for a restore

[Nancy Reeves]

Is there a way to query what tapes will be needed for a given restore
request?

For instance, a user deletes a certain directory and wants to restore it.
Since most of the files are static and have aged, they have been migrated
to tape. I would like to make sure all the needed tapes are in the library
before starting the restore. Is this possible?

Re: Nt client processes

[Lawrence Clark]

Hi Geoffrey:
To answer your questions
-Well you could remove the old services with dsmcutil remove
- I didn't recall having to explicity do a dsmcutil install for the backup clients, 
just the MS-SQL agent
- We've never used the web component. Other than the scheduled backups, the NT admins 
go directly to the server, the AIX  are done with the command line

My surprise is the removal the the client admin interface. I found it very useful for 
checking the status of all the backups and current volume allocations by storage 
group. The 3.1 interface still works however.

Larry,

I've upgraded some of my 3.1's to 3.7 without any problems. It found the old
install in the IBM directory ok. However it didn't remove the services that
were previously there, at least mine didn't. One problem I did notice is
that the "ADSM" services remained behind even though the new "TSM" services
were added, very annoying even though we have the utility to clean it all
up. The other problem is it wants to install a new program group and doesn't
remove the old one. Don't know why both of these can't be cleaned up with
the install.  I wonder why the services you mentioned from the TSM install
seemed new to you, I've always had them in 3.1.08 version I installed.

If the path to the clientdir is actually different from the previous install
you need to make sure the service knows where it is, I just sent out a
separate note on that option when installing the service.

I also recommend using another switch /clientdir:{path name to baclient
directory}. Make sure you use quotes if the path has a space in it. I've had
problems in the past without using that option and I needed to remove the
service and reinstall to fix the problem.

Karen - In doing a SELECT * FROM BACKUPS on my AIX system (on a node with
minimal data so as to make the output reasonable), I see that the
management class name for directories is a specific name, and for files it is
"DEFAULT".  This makes sense in my case at least because of the TSM rule that
directories are bound to the management class with the longest retention so as
to assure living at least as long as the mix of managment classes that the
files may be under, so as to assure that the directory structure can always be
rebuilt.  This may be the case on your system as well.  Remember that initial
binding to management class occurs when files are backed up, and doesn't
change until another backup of those object names occurs again after policy
rules have changed; so I suspect that the rules in effect when your backups
were done causes the binding that you are now seeing.  Re 1), remember that
binding is not by filespaces, but by individual file system objects.  You
might want to look into this more deeply via Select's.

Hi:
I just upgraded one NT server from the ADSM 3.1 client to TSM 3.7.
I noticed it wasn't backing up and checked the NT services. Instead of the
single service that existed previously under ADSM, I noticed there are now
two services:
TSM Client Acceptor
TSM Remote Client Agent

The Remote Client Agent was not started and so I'm assuming that was the
cause of the missed backup. But what distinguishes these two services ?

Re: Nt client processes

Larry,

 It sounds to me like you missed the installation of the TSM Central
Scheduler Service. The TSM Client Acceptor and
the TSM Remote Client Agent were introduced in an earlier version of ADSM
3.1 but I cannot remember which one. You need to execute the DSMCUTIL on
the NT server to install the TSM Central Scheduler Service.

Re: SAN support in TSM 4.1

[Prather, Wanda]

Cindy, thanks for taking the time to eply.
Could you please clarify something else for me - from what I read in the
Technical Guide, you have to have the Tape Sharing software implemented in
order to use the Lanfree backup, is that correct?

In this case, if you are just using Lanfree backup but not sharing tape
libraries among multiple servers, is the Tape Sharing a separate component/
additional point charge for the server license ? (or whatever it's called
now, I'm still fuzzy on 4.1 licensing!)

Thanks!

Re: Nt client processes

[Prather, Wanda]

Those two services are part of the install since 3.1.0.something or other.
They are used for the web client - where someone (like your help desk) can
start a RESTORE session remotely using a browser.
They don't affect the scheduler service, which still has to be there and
started.
You should have THREE services installed, these two and the usual Scheduler
service.

If you uninstalled the Scheduler Service before you installed the TSM 3.7
client, you will need to reinstall it with the dsmcutil utility.

Re: Nt client processes

[Murray, Jim]

You are missing a service.  With TSM 3.7 you need to run a utility from the
BAClient Directory like:

dsmcutil install sched /name:"TSM Scheduler Service" /node:{nodename}
/password:{node_password} /autostart:yes /validate:yes

This will create the service for backups.  The TSM Remote Client Agent
should be on manual it is used by the TSM Client Acceptor when you attach to
the client using the web.

Gene,

I did it following:
I've created two script infxinst1 and infxinst2:
infxinst1:
su - infxinst1 "-c export DSMI_CONFIG=/path/to/dsm.opt;export
DSMI_DIR=/path/to/api/dir; export
DSMI_LOG=/path/to/logfile;/path/to/onbar -b -w -L 0"

infxinst2:
su - infxinst2 "-c export DSMI_CONFIG=/path/to/dsm.opt;export
DSMI_DIR=/path/to/api/dir; export
DSMI_LOG=/path/to/logfile;/path/to/onbar -b -w -L 0"

Requisite to this is to create two informix users and for each set the right
Informix environment, I set and exported the informix in each user's
.profile.

If you don't want to do this way, you can also export Informix variables in
the infxinst1 and infxinst2 scripts and then you don't need to create
additional user accounts, simply do su to the informix user.

Hope this helps.

ADSM Management Classes

[Karen Mikacenic]

I have ADSM 3.1.20  in and running and back up about 40 servers.  I have
four management classes.  They are MANAGEEXCH, MANAGESQL,  SQLFLAT, AND
STANDARD (which is our default).  When I look in the activity log I see:

09/28/2000 14:02:48   ANR4391I Expiration processing node CCUFILAC,
filespace
   \\ccufilac\c$, domain STANDARD, and management class

   STANDARD - for BACKUP type files.

09/28/2000 14:14:20   ANR4391I Expiration processing node CCUFILAC,
filespace
   \\ccufilac\f$, domain STANDARD, and management class

   STANDARD - for BACKUP type files.

09/28/2000 14:15:02   ANR4391I Expiration processing node CCUFILAC,
filespace
   \\ccufilac\e$, domain STANDARD, and management class

   DEFAULT - for BACKUP type files.

09/28/2000 14:15:03   ANR4391I Expiration processing node CCUFILAC,
filespace
   \\ccufilac\e$, domain STANDARD, and management class

   STANDARD - for BACKUP type files.

09/28/2000 14:15:03   ANR4391I Expiration processing node CCUFILAC,
filespace
   \\ccufilac\g$, domain STANDARD, and management class

   DEFAULT - for BACKUP type files.

09/28/2000 15:28:07   ANR4391I Expiration processing node CCUFILAC,
filespace
   \\ccufilac\g$, domain STANDARD, and management class

   STANDARD - for BACKUP type files.

>From the log, I see that file space c$ is expiring and bound to management
class  STANDARD, as is f$.

I don't understand why e$ and g$ is expiring and bound to both management
class STANDARD AND DEFAULT?


Support has made these two comments:

1) This would be normal if a file space were being bound to 2 management
classes.
2) This could be a situation that a client or group of clients is set with
the word DEFAULT as the management class. It's actually not going to a
management class of that name but to their default one. It's only being
listed due to that's how the client reported it to the server.

I don't have a management class named default and if number 2) above were
true, I think I would see default and standard on every filespace not just
certain ones.  I was suspicious that the message is coming out twice on some
filespaces.


I appreciate any insight anyone  might be able to give.

Zoltan,

   Unfortunately I was bitten by that "feature". TIvoli States that TSM will not 
defeat the file systems security so I guess its doing what it was designed to do. But 
a one line message in the logs somewhere stated that it recognised the drive was ther 
but didn't back it up do to security or lack of access would be a nice "feature" also.

Hi Chris ,
I  am writing shell and awk scripts to create file  volume groups, logical
volumes , and file systems .
our stk library microcode is 1.01 , so do i need to tell sunGuard , to update
there STK library code to be at same level ?

Subject: Re: Disaster Recovery Test.

I would make several recommendations, having done this twice so far this year.

Take blank tapes of all media you might use (ie, 8mm for AIX mksysbs, DLT for
the library, etc). While
you're at it, take cleaning tapes too. We had our own, and used several of
them. By the time Sungard
found their cleaning tapes, we had already cleaned the drives and moved on.
Create your volume group creation scripts ahead of time and stick them in the
mksysb/savevg or bring
them on a floppy. Sungard is supposed to tell you what equipment you will have.
They gave us 4.5 GB
SSA drives,which differs from what we have on site (a mix of 9.1 and 4.5 GB
SSA). The scripts we used
at Sungard differed greatly from the ones used to create the vgs at home.
Create a detailed plan (more than what you've got here) that lists all steps
with commands included. This way,
when you are tired or distracted after a long day, you don't have to go on
memory.  We took pages of
documetation to the first test, and refined it for the second test, adding in
all the steps we hadn't thought
of before (like exporting all the volumegroups so that when they are recreated,
there aren't any conflicts in
/etc/filesystems).
If possible bring your own command reference manuals and the ADSM manuals.
Sungard only has
hardware documentation, and they don't provide access to the internet.  While
we were at Sungard
our remote dial in system was down for a period of time, stranding us from the
online docs (we did
have hard copies).
Know what version of the firmware your STK library is running. If possible,
have your STK engineer
give you a duplicate copy to bring with you. We spent 11 hours attempting to
getACSLS running
and the problem turned out to be the library was at the wrong version of
firmware. TheSTK onsite
guys weren't much help. It took a hotline product engineer to figure it out.
Of course, bring all the hotline phone numbers and site numbers.
Bring a picture of how everything is to be set up (send it ahead if you can). A
picture is worth a
thousand words when attempting to get the equipment in the right place, and
connected up properly.
When you get there, go over all the hardware and connections. We were suprised
by the fact that
our server couldn't communicate on the network. Turns out there was an extra FE
adapter in the
server (not at our request) and that was what they had hooked up.

Hope this helps.

Help! Onbar

[Gene Greenberg]

Can anyone help me with onbar command scripts.  I'm running 3.7.0 tsm on an aix
4.3.3 risc system.  I have two instances of informix db and want to back them up
with onbar using command scripts.  (I'm not sure scripts are the way to handle
but with two instances I somehow have to export the variables out so when a
dbspace is backed up it will know which instance to go to.)

I would appreciate it if someone has sample scripts and a better way to handle
this would let me know.

Thanks,

We have installed this tsm 4.1 version in a customer who is using a san

used by backup clients in order to avoid using the internal network.
How can I check that the data are really going through the san and not to

Can someome from Tivoli support confirm that the normal backup - archive

If this is so, is there any plans for a prompt support of this feature?
I do not know how to tell the customer that we have made such a terrible
mistake.

Statistics on age of restored files?

[Daniel Swan/TM]

Does anyone have any ballpark statistics on the average age of files that
are being restored?

That is, I am curious to see if a file is most likely to be restored one day
after creation, one week, two weeks, or six months.

Any data, speculation, or statistics appreciated.

Re: Exchange Mailbox restores

[Foley, Joe]

You are correct that there is no functionality in Exchange to do this.
Microsoft's solution for individual mailbox restores is to restore the
entire database to a separate machine and export the mailbox. I believe that
Arcserve claims to have the ability to do this "bricks level" backup and
restore but essentially it does the same thing - it exports every mailbox to
a .pst and backs up the individual .pst files - this is extremely time
consuming - prohibitively so for more than a few mailboxes. I have not heard
of any other way to do it.

Hello Larry

The problem is that this client is treated in a different way then
all the other adsm/tsm clients. With any of the other clients if you
have a problem and it is fixed in a new version of the client, you
can fetch the new version and install it assuming that your adsm/tsm
server is not too many versions back. A windows nt 4.1 client
can be installed for use with a tsm 3.7 server. This works because
The windows nt 4.1 client includes the full install package.

In the case of the os/390 client, the client is only an incremental
upgrade. So to install a 4.1 client ptf, you need to have the base
tsm 4.1 client install materials, which you can only get thru your
marketing folks. Unless things have changed in the last hour or so
the tsm tech support can not help with this problem.

The two interesting things about this are:
1) The latest os/390 release 2.10 which just became available ships
   with tsm 3.7 not tsm 4.1
2) Several apars are fixed in 4.1 that are not fixed in 3.7.

PS It is even more fun if you are using the os/390 client with
   a server that is not os/390. We are having a hard time trying
   to get the tsm 4.1 client code with our tsm 3.7 to tsm 4.1 upgrade
   from Tivoli. They keep calling it an IBM product and not the
   Tivoli feature code as listed in the tsm 4.1 ann letter.

Sigh!

Re: ADSM 3.1.2.5x and 3590 Extended Length?

Richard,

Yes, it will,  or should.  I'm running a 3.1.2.20 AIX server with 3590e J and K
carts in my 3494.  Had to upgrade Atape.driver and atldd.driver (did this long
before the CE's did the MES).   As previously mentioned in the forum, it's
probably a good idea to mark existing J's to readonly and I also took the extra
couple of minutes to delete the drives from both ADSM and AIX and then redefine
them.  Everything is working fine.

The ADSM 3.1.2.5x server level supports 3590E, double-track drives.
The doc does not say if it supports double-length cartridges (which
I suspect that it does, as that would seem more transparent than
track-switching).
Could an ADSM 3.1.2.5x server customer verify this for me,
as we are thinking of upgrading our 3590 drives within this
current server level, and I'd like to be sure.

If the directory containing the file is public-write, imagine what could

The TSM server should be run by root, and as such the basic permissions

Niklas,

 What client are you running and what level of Netware? We have a problem
with the TSM 3.7 client and Netware 5.1. Our problem only occurs when we
are backing up the NDS tree and yes, memory is consumed. We have an open
problem  with IBM/Tivoli as well as Novell on this issue but I feel that if
this is the problem that you have you should open a problem as well.

 Hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know.

Re: TSM 3.7 -- 9840 Tape drives speed

[James Healy]

Vijay,

  What type of operation are you getting 15 GB per hour on?

Tape speed  is not usually dictated by the size of the data base but more by the size 
of the pipe leading to the drive.

Are there times when you can approach the speed you stated of 20 BG per hour now?

Jim

Re: tsm: what is dsmserv.dsk

[Palmadesso Jack]

This file should be created when you perform the "dsmserv format" of your
log and database volumes.  However I do agree that the quick start guide
lacks clarity in more than one area.

It's a list of your log and database volumes. If I recall correctly, in the
migration notes in the getting started manual it says TSM will create a
default set of db and log files if it can't find your site defined volumes.

Re: Anybody out there looking at LTO (linear tape)

[Robinson, Cris]

Yes. We are currently starting the evaluation of an IBM 3584 Ultrium LTO.
We, like countless others, have exceeded DLT's capacity. So here are some
good things about LTO..

media cost: about $85 each
drive cost: about $11K each
Library cost: Still don't have an exact number to give, but VERY competitive
from what we have heard.

HERE ARE SOME GOTCHA'S !!!:

Most shops like us are using HVD, High Voltage Differential, with our
current DLT environments with Adaptec 2944UW or similar SCSI adapters.

LTO have been released with LVD, Low Voltage Differential, you will need to
have a SCSI card like Adaptecs 2940 to use these drives or wait until HVD
later this month.

No FIBRE drives until Q1/Q2 next year.

IBM goofed on their SCSI/Fibre support in my humble opinion. We are trying
to integrate an LTO into our SAN testing and the SAN DATA GATEWAY for LVD
wont be out until the end of this month. Not a big deal to most of you folks
if you are just starting out on this LTO adventure.

Here is a link with more info:

http://www.storage.ibm.com

I'll let everyone know what else we find out...

Re: what is dsmserv.dsk

[Richard L. Rhodes]

The first time I ran into the dsmserv.dsk file I was completely
confused.  The QuickStart guide has 2 references to it: page 2 and 7.
 Neither gives any idea of what it is or why you need it.  The
comment on page 7 about this file being read from the directory where
the server is started is under a section labeled "Defining
Environment Variables - kind if hidden.  On Page 7 and 8, under
"Runing Multiple Servers on a Single Machine" there is no mention of
needing to create a dsmserv.dsk  in the directory where you want the
db files created.  They talk about copying the dsmserv.opt, but not
the dsmserv.dsk.  This omission is a major mistake that caused me
several hours of confusion.

So, I agree with the origional poster that dsmserv.dsk is poorly
documented.

Stratus VOS

[Frost, Dave]

Hi *SM'ers

Is anybody using TSM to backup a Stratus VOS?  Apparently this can be done
by nfs mounting the filesystem, but there is some concern that using this
techique could give problems on restores, since the data will be put back in
a physically different position, and physical position is very important to
Stratus

Are there any other problems or gotchas we should be aware of?

Hello dear TSM friends,

I wrote some mails about the license problem when you perform an upgrade
direct to TSM 4.1.1.0
instead upgrading first to TSM 4.1.0.0

I think I have the same problem :

I have an audit license running for 3 days now and the result is license
node = 0.
In fact I did not start this audit command.

Do I have to downgrade now to 4.1.0.0 to get this licenses ok or does
anyone have other suggestions?

Thank you
