Re: Damaged Tapes using TSM 3.7.2 for NT and DST Tape Drives
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Prather, Wanda" [EMAIL PROTECTED] says: Len, FWIW, I have seen the same behavior and talked with the STK specialist here. He said that the cleaning light comes on for two different things - sometimes it means "clean requested", and sometimes means "clean required". There is a tiny cable that goes from the drives back to the robot (at least in our robot). With hardware cleaning on, that is how the "clean required" gets back to the robot and causes it to mount the cleaning tape. A "clean request" doesn't. This guy usually knows what he is talking about, and it explained the results I saw here - sometimes when the clean light was on a clean occurred, and sometimes it didn't. That may also explain the results you have seen with software cleaning. I don't think TSM has any way to sense that the drive is in degraded mode, or in a "clean request" rather than a "clean required" state, because I don't think the hardware sends any data back. It's an unfortunate design issue with the hardware (and using one yellow light to mean two different things when you can't tell which is which is just part of the problem.). Hello Wanda Yes there seems to be fuzzyness with these drives. I will not claim to understand the in and outs of the api for the dlt7000, but in a fit of despair, I spend an evening reading the dlt7000 manual. And it appears that if software is written all of the data is available for the asking. The small wire going to the robot is interesting in that it's programing does not seemed to be spelled out in the quantum manual. It features may be in the stk extensions. As far as I understand if TSM is using the drive, the robot can not clean the drive until TSM dismounts the tape, but there does not seem to be any way for the robot to tell the software to stop using the drive. And if the drive is not cleared of the problem, either because the cleaning cart is used up, or the drive has problems that can not be cleared with cleaning, etc. The robot also can not tell the software not to use the drive. The software has to get a really bad fatal error before it will down the drive. The stk ce can uncable the dlt7000 from the backup server and use a portable pc to unload the error data stored in the drive. it would be nice if we could get that data from the robot or via the software without the need to take apar the hardware. len
Re: Industry Statistics regarding # of daily exceptions?
We run around 98% successful backups in a fairly large (15ish TSM Servers, averaging around 250 clients/server (between 6 and 500 clients/server)). We have just been keeping track with a simple database program written in perl (I'm not the author, and I haven't really looked at it, but the fields are Date, Server, Possible, and Successful. Each file is one months worth of data. To get the info from your actlog (on AIX/Unix), you can just do a 'dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=password "query event * * begind=-100 endd=today" | wc -l' to get the total number of backups, then dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=password "query event * * begind=-100 endd=today ex=yes" | wc -l' to get the number of exceptions. Less both numbers by, I believe, 9 lines (on TSM 3.7) for the header/footer info, and you'll have your values. From there it's simple math.

TSM 4.1 crashes with ACSLS
We are setting up a new server that will be connect to an STK 9740 silo with
9840 drives via ACSLS. The ACSLS server will be 5.3. The TSM server is
Sun/Solaris with the following opsys level:
SunOS spadux0001 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
When I try to define the library ("define library splib1 libtype=acsls

this before, or has anyone experience of defining an ACSLS library to TSM on
Sun? Sever level is 4.1.1.0 (ie PTF1 has been installed).

Scipts to perform multiple file restores in TSM 3.7
We currently have TSM 3.7 on 7 AIX nodes and 22 NT servers with a MagStar 3575 tape library. I am starting to get more requests to do stores, restores, etc. and want to do it in a script launched by our batch scheduler to provide an audit trail rather than using the GUI/web browser (which does work fine for us). My question is this: If I have lots of files/directories which need to be restored, can I put them in a separate file and make reference to that file in my script? What is the best way to handle this? Any suggestions or sample scripts? Thanks much for your help.

Re: Off-Site copies??
Yes. Coping from diskpool to an offsite tape pool works and works well on systems with few tape drives. With only one tape drive there is one concerns. Diskpool migration can not start before the offsite copy. If it does, the data migrated to tape will not be available on the diskpool for the offsite tapes. I am going to assume there is a way to move the previous migrated data back to the diskpool, but that is beyond my abilities.

Off-Site copies
hi all, I want to erase my DRM record( Q DRM output ) , and create new copy of tapepool .. ? How to ? Thanks in advance ...
Putting a valid scenario together, handable by adsm
Hi, I would like to handle the following situation: a) Some 20 clients to be backed up 24h-wise (client support verified). b1) Server adsm1: primary storagepool(1): 100 GB RAID-5 for fast data handling secondary storagepool(2): Faststore22 for Migration from storagepool1 Now I can backup and keep a defined number of copies of my files. Normaly, when Faststore is running out of space (or with reaching a defined condition), ADSM would through out older files an replace them by new ones, which are being backed up. I would like *not* to throw away a single file, but move/copy them to a different system adsm2 wich has a different Tapesystem throwing out filled tapes to move them to a secure place. How can I achieve this? Can I handle such a thing? Or, may be there is an even better idea? I can imagine that I'm not the first one who wants to do that ... Regards, Andreas.

SAN backup and tape drive share with 3494?
Hi all, We are trying to develop SAN with 3494 libr. We have 7 ADSM servers with 3.1, 3.7 and 4.1 version. We have EMC/symmetricx and Mcdata/Concentrix switch and Bridges. We have done the dump data from symmetrix disk to 3590E tape drive through Concentrix switches and Mcdata bridges (FC-SCSI) by using TSM 4.1, and that is LAN-free. However this is just a TSM server self backup and migration (server and client in the same box). If we want backup another AIX client which is using the SAN (EMC/symmetricx and Mcdata/Concentrix switch), how we can do it?? The FC and LAN are both connected, when we use the ADSM client backup it looks like the data transmission is through the LAN. If it is a NT client (same env. like EMC/symmetricx and Mcdata/Concentrix switch ), how we can do that?? TSM 4.1 provide a SAN agent, it can make the Client backup directly to 3590E tape drive. But it looks like 3494 atl is not support yet, Is that is true?? How can the TSM servers share the tape drives?? If that is the case, how we can do our LAN free backup? We have UNIX and NT servers.

Re: TSM 4.1 crashes with ACSLS
Not a real knowledgeable Solaris person, but can 2.7 be a 64 bit OS? We saw
a problem using TSM on Solaris 2.8 in 64 bit mode. The ACSLS drivers would
not run at 64 bit. Dropping back to a 32 bit OS fixed the problem.

Multiple Definitions for a single Node
Hi all TSMers, We have a H70 box ( AIX 4.3.3 )serving as the TSM server ( TSM version 3.7.3 ) and as well as a client ( TSM 3.7.0 ). The reason being the H70 is connected directly to an EMC symmetrix machine and we would like to utilise the BCV feature to backup all disks from servers connected to the EMC similarly. Due to the different backup requirements, I defined diferent Policy Domains and management classes and also defined different node definitions for my client (also the TSM server). However, when I scheduled the backup jobs and assigned different node to each schedule, the backups were not initiated. doing a Q EV * *, I find them in pending states perpetually. Setting the SCHEDMODE=PROMPT or shortening the randomization time doesn't help. I tried that on an NT client with multiple node definitions and it worked provided I used DSMCUTIL to install different client schedulers for each node definition. However, I can't find any way to tag the client scheduler on AIX to particular nodes. Question : 1. Can more than 1 client scheduler exists within the tsm/client server ? 2. Is there some limitations to the above method when the TSM server is also the client ? Regards. HK Storage Administrator AimMax Station

Re: Multiple Definitions for a single Node
1. Yes. For each server stanza in your DSM.SYS file, you can start the scheduler by running "dsmc sched -se=servername". You can do this as many times as necessary. 2. No, there is no limitation. The only suggestion in this enviorment is to use the Shared Memory protocol. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm one cookie away from happy." - Snoopy (Charles Schulz)
File System Mount issues
I've been working on a similar issue (aix 4.3.3 client 3.7.2.0), and have received assurances from Support that mounts/umounts after client scheduler startup shouldn't be a problem. I did find a document that indirectly sheds some light on this, at: http://www-1.ibm.com/servlet/support/manager?rt=0rs=0org=aparsdoc=4A154C3286E 68E27852567C00015722A Although I profess no expertise in traces, it looks like the client builds a list of "what's mounted now" when it starts the backup session (ie: not at client startup time). If there is information available contrary to this, I'd be happy to see it! - My particular issue was to try to understand what would happen if, some day when I did an incremental of /home, the filesystem /home wasn't mounted and all the backup saw was an empty /home mountpointwould it then determine that everything previously backed up had been deleted and expire everything (except objects valid according to verdeleted and retonly)?? I understand the answer to this, too, is "no problem", because the server stores not only the object name, but the "filespace" that it resided on. There's a (fairly confusing, IMHO) description of this in the client user's guide at: http://tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/pubs/v3pubs/v1_html/aix/unixc/cp55tfrm.htm I see the "filespaces" table on tsm, but can't figure out why some filespaces aren't included there. I must confess that I don't yet understand this, nor how virtualmountpoints might fit into the picture. If anyone can point me to other (better) sources of information on these topics, I'd appreciate the help.

I've tried running with no domain set so that the default takes precedent; no luck. I've tried explicitly setting the domain to all-local; no luck. If I run the backup via a command line, no auto-mounted file systems are backed up Anne - The difference in behavior from scheduler to command line execution suggests that the scheduler was started before the automounting occurred, and that the scheduled client has a problem discerning then that they are automounted. Automounted file systems have long been a problem for the clients, as evident in the APARs database. Looks like that continues to be the case at the 3.7 level. Richard Sims, BU

However, can the registry be backed up when the system is online and can you restore the registry to another location. 3 - Can you schedule a backup for just the registry - we have a situation, that we may want to back up just the registry of a particular server once every hour. 4 - The security team brought an interesting question to my attention. Is the data that we send offsite, via copy pool, encrypted to where someone could not just take the tape and view the data. My thoughts are that the data is encrypted and cannot be recovered without the TSM database and in order to restore the TSM database to another server, I would think there is some sort of security there.

Re: SAN backup and tape drive share with 3494?
My understanding is that the SAN agent allows LAN-free backup ONLY for the Exchange TDP and the TDP for R/3 at this time, not the regular backup/archive clients. The backup/archive clients for UNIX NT should support it eventually as new releases of those clients come out.

Re: SAN backup and tape drive share with 3494?
George, try to look at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg246132.html, it's still a redpiece, but we cover there the most question you mentioned. Now, just a few notes: - LAN-free data transfer provided with the Storage Agent - which comes with the TSM4.1 server - is right now supported only with TDP for MS Exchange and SAP R/3, in the future it is intended to support other TDP products as well. - Nowadays, Storage Agent doesn't support B/A clients. - Storage Agent is now available for WindowsNT/W2K only. TSM 4.1 provide a SAN agent, it can make the Client backup directly to 3590E tape drive. But it looks like 3494 atl is not support yet, Is that is true?? How can the TSM servers share the tape drives?? Read Chapter 5 in the above mentioned redpiece.

Hi all, We are trying to develop SAN with 3494 libr. We have 7 ADSM servers with 3.1, 3.7 and 4.1 version. We have EMC/symmetricx and Mcdata/Concentrix switch and Bridges. We have done the dump data from symmetrix disk to 3590E tape drive through Concentrix switches and Mcdata bridges (FC-SCSI) by using TSM 4.1, and that is LAN-free. However this is just a TSM server self backup and migration (server and client in the same box). If we want backup another AIX client which is using the SAN (EMC/symmetricx and Mcdata/Concentrix switch), how we can do it?? The FC and LAN are both connected, when we use the ADSM client backup it looks like the data transmission is through the LAN. If it is a NT client (same env. like EMC/symmetricx and Mcdata/Concentrix switch ), how we can do that?? TSM 4.1 provide a SAN agent, it can make the Client backup directly to 3590E tape drive. But it looks like 3494 atl is not support yet, Is that is true?? How can the TSM servers share the tape drives?? If that is the case, how we can do our LAN free backup? We have UNIX and NT servers.

Re: recovering copypools
delete vol volser discard=yes The next backup storagepool will recopy the data from these volumes. If you want to get that data backed up as soon as possible (rather than wait for the backup storagepool to run) you can run move data volser stg=offsitepool This will use the onsite versions of the data, and then the lost volumes will show empty, and be recalled from your vault. The move data may be better - then your vault company will end up with a request for the tapes they lost! Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm one cookie away from happy." - Snoopy (Charles Schulz)

3590e drives - What's your best *realistic* throughput?
I'm looking to know what I could *realistically* expect from a 3590e drive during a *restore*, assuming the tape drive is the bottleneck, ie. disk is fast enough, bus is wide enough, everything is local attached, machine is super zippy, and restoring BIG files. Certainly the theoretical max is something along the lines of 14 MB/s, but I'm wondering how close people really come to that? thanks in advance... Paul
Re: 3590e drives - What's your best *realistic* throughput?
I have setup environments where I have seen backup storage pools run 37GB per hour. So that is just over 10.5 MBps. -- Joshua S. Bassi Senior Technical Consultant Symatrix Technology, Inc.

What happened to instant archive?
Does anybody know what happened to the instant archive functionality that was going to be introduced in Tsm? I've searched to find info on when and how it would be made available but was unable to get any info from the redbooks or web. Thanks Christo
