Re: Backupset Restore of TDP Domino Data
Eric, Since you are using the TDP for Domino connect agent to perform the backups, you can not use backup sets for restore. You have explained the steps you are trying to do, but haven't really stated what business need you are trying to fulfill. Why do you want an extra copy of the domino databases? Is it to provide redundancy in case of a restore? If so, a copy storage pool would be a better alternative? Once again, currently only the backup archive client is aware and can take advantage of backupsets. To the server, active versions of files look all the same (it's just data), so you can generate backupsets of api data. But it is a waste of a tape since you will not be able to restore from it in any situation.

Re: Checkin on shared SCSI Library in SAN
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Apparently library sharing is not very well understood or documented, even by Tivoli support. The solution turns out to be quite simple though. Just do a bulk checkin of the library clients tapes from the library manager. This will check the tapes in a private and assign the library manager as the owner. Once you've checked in all of your tapes, simply run an audit of the library from the library client. Note, this will not really do an audit of the library but it will sync the database for the library with the library clients database which assigns the proper ownership to the volumes. I'm not sure why Tivoli makes you take this extra step when it would be so much cleaner to assign ownership correctly at checkin, but they say that is how the product is designed to operate. Thanks again.

Cost of select media vs volumes
Greetings, Oh Massed Experience and Intellect! Which costs more, select from media or select from volumes? Or are they similar enough to flip a coin? I am trying to write a script in which I need to know which storage pool a given tape belongs to. Looking at the list of columns, it looks like I can select stgpool_name from volumes where volume_name='$volume_name' or select stgpool_name from media where volume_name='$volume_name' When I run both commands alone, select from media seems to return a quarter second faster, but that is pretty skimpy evidence timex says it depends on cached data I'll use select from media unless there is a better way. Platform is ADSM 3.1.2.20 on AIX 4.? TIA, Kai.
Orphaned Oracle backups
hi, Yes, that happens a lot. Oracle had a bug that it deleted the backups from the catalog database even we returned error to them. I don't exactly remember which Oracle level.

Re: IBM 35xx Libraries, Windows 2000 and TSM - Observations
Mike, We are running on Windows NT so we're stuck with RSM. That was a level of abstraction that I didn't need! We are, however, running this library through a SAN Data Gateway. Latest word is that the testing that has been completed was done using a different SDG than the one at the customer site. They're trying to decide what to do: make the one the customer has work or get them the other one. This system is pretty strange. We are able to control the library and apparently label tapes, but no label is actually being written on the tape. The PMR number is 05100 so you can check out what has happened so far. We're working with an excellent Level 2 guy whom you undoubtedly know: Chet Tuttle. It works when directly connected via SCSI, but won't work through the fiber. I'm sure we'll get it, but it has taken way too long to make this work. Is SAN ready? I think not. The saga continues and thanks for your help. Kelly Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Re: maintenance window/database backup
Definitely prior to halt and your system maintenance, because if the changes made to the system destroy something from your TSM structure... You will be able to restore from that last DataBase backup. Also you might want to monitor this DB backup, make sure it finishes successfully, and write down yr Volume Serial (Volser) number just in case... What about System Backups (AIX: sysback, mksysb) ? depending how important is the changes made to the system you might want to take a system backup as well. Cheers.

Backupset Restore of TDP Domino Data
Greetings *SM'ers, I'm looking for clarification of APAR IC28451. It states that: "There is no support in the [TDP for Domino] API for the backup set format. Therefore, backup set data that was backed up via the API cannot be restored or used." Does this mean that it's not possible to restore the Domino database files at all, even if you just want to treat them like generic file system files and do the restore via a B/A client? I've been trying unsuccessfully to do the restore of Domino BackupSet data-- the B/A client doesn't seem to know that a BackupSet even exists. But I'm hoping that it's just a problem with my client software version (3.7.2). Does anyone else have experience with this? Thanks in advance, Eric S.

Re: TSM 3.7 and Netware 5.1
Well, sure seen that last statement before! Our environment is ADSM 3.1.2.50 on OS\390 but I think the anomalies of Netware and *SM cover the spectrum. I would heartily recommend the new TSA/SMDR package from Novell. It seems to have helped considerably on our 5.0/5.1 boxes. You don't mention which client you're running. I've settled on the 4.1.1_18 version. The combination of that client and the new nlms have cured a number of situations where abends created by the dsmc process were occuring. Also seems to have cured (may be too early to really tell on this one) a situation where dsmc and smdr were loosing each other sporadically and all the dsmc related nlms were having to be unloaded and reloaded. My experience with some 20 Netware boxes and slew of different clients (ADSM and TSM) is that there is going to be a certain amount of babysitting involved no matter what, although things seem to be improving (knock on wood!) Good luck and feel free to let me know if you need anything more specific. -- Jim Kirkman AIS - Systems UNC-Chapel Hill 966-5884 Brecton Whitten wrote: > *SM group, > > If there is anyone running TSM 3.7 on AIX4.3 > and backing up Netware 5.1 servers and would > be willing to talk to me about their experiences, > I would greatly appreciate it.
