Re: ADSM/Backint/SAP
I actually got the problem resolved. But you can answer another question. Now that I have ADSM/BACKINIT working, I am going to do a complete SAP R/3 database recovery. The steps I'm doing are as follows: Mirroring the original systems Drive allocations Install Oracle, SAP Restore database from ADSM Do I have to actually load an SAP database, then extend the tables to do a complete recovery, or can I just recover direct from tape.

Re: Your experience with Tivoli Data Protection for MS Exchange
we do online backups only, no stop of services restore times are the same as backup times. Then applying logs to the databases take much more time. Therefore we take 2 full backups / week and 3 incremental / day. Taking 2 fulls / week cut the numbre of logs to apply to 50 %. Regards, René Lambelet Nestec S.A. / Informatique du Centre 55, av.

Re: ADSM/Backint/SAP
Andre, you should use SAPDBA for the complete restore process. There are some files that are beeing copied around after the physical restore. This copy operations are done by SAPDBA. If you use BACKINT by itself, the important files won't get copied and make the recovery very manual. SAPDBA will take care about all the restore operation.

ADSM/HSM remote data copy EXPORT/IMPORT?
Hi ADSMers, strange problem: We have to move several GB of HSM managed data of Server A to a HSM managed filesystem of server B. Server A and Server B are on different locations, connected via just a 4 Mbit link. So there's a question: Is there a possibility to only transfer the stub files, export the files/database to the 3490Es and then recreate the data and datebase by import on the remote site? Such an idea sounds better to me than creating tar or cpio files on tapes, shipping and reading the the data on the remote site, which causes backups to be done and only after backups, the data is able to be migrated ... Any suggestion is greatly appreciated Andreas -- Andreas R. Landhaeusser debis Systemhaus Solutions for Research GmbH Bunsenstr. 10, 37073 Goettingen, Germany, phone: +49 551 709 2379
Re: What Level OS/390 MVS Server?
I have recently installed TSM for the first time in our shop. We put TSM 4.1 on OS390 2.7. As a rule I always put in the most recent release. Two things I saw on 4.1 that grabbed my attention. One is the support for Os390's Unix System services at (os390 2.8). Before that there is no GUI interface. The second is the support of our remote clients using subfile backups. I haven't got all the regular servers in production yet so I haven't had a chance to use either of these features yet. But I know they are part of the plan. The only problem I had is with using the USERTEXT EXIT it was giving me garbage. They had a fix for it and a bunch of other things that I didn't see. I believe I am now at 4.1.1.

retrieve very slow
Hi Adsmers, We are running ADSM server V3.1.2.50 on a G40 machine(AIX).We are running WINDOWS NT backups to this ADSM server.The problem we have now is when one runs a retrieve from both the GUI and command line the process takes forever preparing.This happens when one selects the whole directory to be retrieved but if one clicks the directory then subdir until to a file which is needed to be retrieved it works. Does anyone know what's causing this.The client version on NT is v3.1.08 Regards Mpho

Re: Delete copystgpool problem
Hi Bent Check the reusedelay parm on the copystoragepool. REUsedelay Specifies the number of days that must elapse after all files are deleted from a volume before the volume can be rewritten or returned to the scratch pool. This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 0 to . The default value is 0, which means that a volume can be rewritten or returned to the scratch pool as soon as all the files are deleted from the volume. -Original Message- From: Bent Lerager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14. november 2000 12:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Delete copystgpool problem Hi I have a small problem, I use TSM ver. 3.7.2 on AIX, and will like to delete a copystoragepool.

Re: Exchange Server Freeze after backup
Eric, I have not seen this problem. TDP for Exchange is making standard API calls that should not freeze the Exchange server. It could be possible that your server is running out of RPC resources. Check the Event Log for anything unusual. I would get Microsoft involved to find out why the server is frozen. On a side note...I HIGHLY recommend that you be running with 1.1.1.01 of Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange (the latest and renamed version of ADSMConnect Agent for Microsoft Exchange). It contains a fix having to do with transaction log backup on a very busy server. All customers should be running with version 1.1.1.01.

Re: Your experience with Tivoli Data Protection for MS Exchange
Mike, Seems that a lot of you are happy with the exchange backup. So let me ask if I may : 1. Do you backup Exchange while active or do you shut down the services prior to backup ? In order to use Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange, your services must be running. It uses the Microsoft provided APIs that were built to run online backups. If you bring down the services and run a backup, you cannot use TDP for Exchange. You could use the standard backup archive client...BUT and this is a big BUT... ...you will not get online backup data integrity checking that is built into the Microsoft APIs and thus TDP for Exchange. When you use TDP for Exchange, every page of the database is read and check-summed to make sure it is consistent. 2. How many of you have had to restore your whole Exchange from backup, and how long did it take, and did it work fully or were there any glitches that had to be retouched to get it all running ? I want to answer part of this question... You should not have to "retouch" anything. Any if you do have to use ESEUTIL or whatever your favorite tool is... then we want to know about it because the APIs were built so that you do not have to do this. Thanks, Mike Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Your experience with Tivoli Data Protection for MS Exchange
Del, From what you say it seems it should be a rather forwards sort of backup-while-active and as easy to restore. Yet in Rene's email of a short while ago today, it seems that he has to work rather hard once the restore has been done. I am very much questioning the need to drop BE and try the TSM Exchange backup, as I have had extremely good results with BE, and the restore is easy, fast and no need of manually applying logs to the database in order to get things in shape. A simple restore, reboot, and sometimes, but rarely, an ISINTEG. One other issue I like with BE today, is the ability to do a full restore including OS and have everything work in the time it takes to restore + 1 hour. I am still not so hot on the TSM version of Intelligent Disaster Recovery, or Bare Metal Restore as it's called here.

If you bring down the services and run a backup, you cannot use TDP for Exchange. You could use the standard backup archive client...BUT and this is a big BUT... ...you will not get online backup data integrity checking that is built into the Microsoft APIs and thus TDP for Exchange. When you use TDP for Exchange, every page of the database is read and check-summed to make sure it is consistent. 2. How many of you have had to restore your whole Exchange from backup, and how long did it take, and did it work fully or were there any glitches that had to be retouched to get it all running ? I want to answer part of this question... You should not have to "retouch" anything. Any if you do have to use ESEUTIL or whatever your favorite tool is... then we want to know about it because the APIs were built so that you do not have to do this.

Re: What Level OS/390 MVS Server?
Ginny, Open Edition is now Unix System Services. I went to the impl;imentation class and listened to some people complain that there was not a GUI for OS390 Unix System Services CLIENT. But with the TSM 4.1 version there is a USS CLIENT, but it requires OS390 2.8 to get support. I was told it would work with OS390 2.7 but if I needed a fix specific to 2.7 they would not make it. Either way we start putting in OS390 2.10 in a month so it shouldn't matter to me. THe USERTEXT exit is the same information that the USEREXIT gets but in a readable text format. We were toying with using a userexit to determin when a backup completes whether or not it was successful, then passing the message up to our external (to TSM) job scheduler. It looks a little to involved and it seems like NO ONE IS DOING THIS. I got zero help from IBM/Tivoli (they point out the DSECT in the book at said that is all the help I would get). And when I asked the group I got Zero responses on it. If you know anyone doing it let me know. I pushed it back on the UNIX server owners to write scripts on there platform to talk to the external scheduler to report status.

Re: Your experience with Tivoli Data Protection for MS Exchange
Mike, The restore and application of logs is all handled for you by TDP for Exchange. I think what Rene was referring to is the fact that if you generate a lot of logs between your full backups, the log replay takes longer. Log replay is ALWAYS done by the Exchange server no matter what backup solution you are running. After a restore is performed, when you restart your services, the logs are replayed. The number of logs that must be replayed increases your "total recovery time". Some of our customers run full backups nightly to reduce their total recovery time. Even with Backup Exec, you have to go through the same process. And you should not have to run ISINTEG and/or do any type of "patching". If you have to, then something is not working like it is supposed to. I am trying to give you the facts of how TDP for Exchange works. If you are happy with Backup Exec, stay with it.

Re: ADSM/HSM remote data copy EXPORT/IMPORT?
strange problem: We have to move several GB of HSM managed data of Server A to a HSM managed filesystem of server B. Server A and Server B are on different locations, connected via just a 4 Mbit link. So there's a question: Is there a possibility to only transfer the stub files, export the files/database to the 3490Es and then recreate the data and datebase by import on the remote site? Such an idea sounds better to me than creating tar or cpio files on tapes, shipping and reading the the data on the remote site, which causes backups to be done and only after backups, the data is able to be migrated ... Andreas - In those circumstances I would consider doing a final backup of the HSM file system(s), then do an EXPort Node of the backup FILESpace. On the receiving TSM server, do an IMport Node to plant the backup storage pool, define the HSM file system and HSM storage pool at the new site, and then do a full restore with -SUbdir=yes and -RESToremigstate=Yes (which is the default) to recreate the directory structure, restore small files, and regenerate stub files in the new file system. (Note that RESToremigstate restores only the ADSM record portion of the stub files, and thus you will see the stub files have a length of 511 rather than 4096, indicative of there being no beginning of the file data in the stub.) This procedure basically follows the steps you would take to recover an HSM file system. Refer to the HSM manual and the HSM redbook for further detail. Another approach might be to perform a cross-site restore to populate the HSM file system at the new site, via dsmc restore -VIRTUALNodename=_, say over a 3-day holiday weekend or the like. The relatively slow datacomm link speed works to your advantage in giving HSM time to do dsmreconcile and migration out of the file system to make room for the incoming populace. Richard Sims, BU

Re: Windows 2000
This can be bad. Make sure you understand what this means: TSM cannot restore inactive copies of system objects. You can have multiple copies backed up (depends on you management class) but you can only ever restore the most recent copy. Also, you cannot archive system objects - so this means that you would never be able to retreive boot.ini, AD etc from an archive. If you ever think you might need an inactive copy of a system object, or the ability to archive these objects, you might want to consider using MS Backup to backup these system objects to local disk then using TSM to backup or archive this backup.

!!!Deleting Filespaces!!!
Hi, Does anyone no of a quick way for deleting file spaces. I have just recently upgraded our customer from the Notes connect agent to the new TDP for domino. The old filespaces for the connect agent are now no longer needed. They have about 1000 different filespaces and deleting them one by one will take ages. I can't start them all at once for fear of database deadlocks. Any ideas??

Mountablenotinlib / mountableinlib
Thanks for everyone who responded to my question about move media vs. checkout. I found the answers quite helpful and I've been testing both commands. Now I've seem to have created another problem for myself. I've searched the archives about this problem and found others who have had this problem but no answers that corrected the situation for me. The tapes that I issued the move media command against and have checked back in, report under a query media as being mountableinlib but if I try and delete them I get a message saying that it cannot delete them because the tape is mountablenotinlib. My reuse flag is set at 0, I've issued the move media command to change the state, I've checked them out and checked them in (without removing them from the library) and I've waited overnight to see if it magically corrected itself (this was also in the archives but I didn't think I'd be so lucky :). I'm at 3.1.2.58 on AIX 4.3. Anyone know how to get the status corrected throughout the database. It's obviously kept in more that one spot since it's being reported both ways.

Re: TSM integration with TEC
Gerardo, Only specify tecport in any of the following cases: - the TEC server is an NT / Windows machine - (or) the TEC server is NOT running the portmapper daemon - (or) you're sending messages across a firewall; have opened that speficic port; *AND* you've configured the TEC server to receive on that port (which forces all TEC agents to message on that port number). If you don't need it, comment out the TECport option. If you need tecport, port 5529 is the default that TEC listens on if you haven't configured it otherwise (and aren't running portmapper).

I have set up rollforward mode and the database backup is supposed to kick off at about 50% and it does with a success message but then the next line is ANR4556W saying the database backup operation did not free sufficient recovery log space to lower utilization. If I am watching the server or I catch the message I can either shut down the server or increase the log file space but if I am not the server crashes. When I bring it back up it doesn't need extended log space or anything and all is fine. This is becoming serious problem. Any thoughts on why this happening and ideas on how to avoid it. I had this same problem. It was caused by a server to server session that was hung and had been for 85 hours. I did a 'q ses' and then a 'can sess' and the next db backup emptied the recovery log. It has happened twice since I started using server to server about 6 months ago. If there is no permanent fix the recovery could be automated with a script. To expand upon this theme, any time there is a process that is going on while a database backup is running, there is the possibility that that process may "hang" when the backup is trying to clean up the recovery log. This "hang" does not prevent the proper conclusion to the backup, but it *may* not allow the log to reset its size to 0 after the clean up. I've had it happen a time or two; it tends to happen with processes like migration, expiration, move data, or anything that's database-access intensive. -- Mark Stapleton [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Corp. 23833 Stone Ridge Drive, suite 300 Waukesha WI 53189 262.521.5627fax:262.523.5803 Berbee...putting the E in business

Re: Client ver 3.7.2 - no SA software
Yep... we see the same phenomenon for some customer environments. Maria's suggestion may fix your browser-admin experience. Just a suggestion, though - sounds like you're wanting to do some "more than casual" administering - so, I recommend a couple things: (a) use the dsmaccnt.log file to extract the 4961 info (and other session stats) and/or (b) use the admin command-line interface and run server scripts or macros to accomplish frequently-repeated tasks... some folks run shell scripts which perform daily queries using dsmadmc and store the results in a flat file which might then be displayed via an internal web page.

Beginning with the 3.7 client, the Administrative command line interface is no longer part of the typical install in order to bring it in line with the meaning of "typical". The rationale is that the typical TSM user is an end user who does not require this capability. If you run a custom install, you can select the Admin component for install.

Re: Archiving and database growth
Yep... and there is currently an APAR (not yet fixed) for incomplete expiration handling; if it's for long-term storage, (like 7 years) but you only do it once a year, then archive may be your answer... maybe to build tar files for each file system and archive them instead of the thousands of little files (and their directories). Also, there are business that specialize in helping companies store large quantities of financial records from databases, like Xios; they store the data in common-ASCII formats so they can be readable (read "import-able") back into a later generation database environment from the one that originally held the data.

Basically, yes... See Estimating and Monitoring Database and Recovery Log Space Requirements in the server Admin Guide. But consider the pesky Description field, which per Andy's SQL document can consume up to 255 characters per file by itself, if exploited. Richard Sims, BU
Windows NT Shares are not restored!?
Dear all, Restoring the Data/Directories on a Windows NT 4.0 system does not restore the "shares". Is this the expected behavior or a bug? Any ideas or suggestions?
