Upgradeing ADSM 3.1 to TSM 4.1
Hi Geoffrey, Have read your notes on ADSM Server 3.1.2.55 upgrade to TSM 4.1.2. The notes is great. I am also planning for upgrade 2 ADSM servers (3.1.2.13 to 4.1.2 3.1.2.57 to 4.1.2). However, there are two very old HP10.01 boxes which runs v2.1 client and a number of AIX4.1 HP10.20 boxes which run v3.1 client and ADSMConnectAgent, As v3.7 client nor TDP for Oracle are not supporting these old boxes, just want to know if you have any v2.1, v3.1 clients backup to new TSM Server. Any problem so far? Thanks in advance. Regards, Eric Tang
Re: Migration doesn't end
Just a guess: I have seen situations, where a volume (disk or tape) was empty according to MOVE DATA, and not empty according to DELETE VOLUME. An AUDIT VOLUME helped in that situation and takes much less time than a complete AUDITDB. Ok, our problem is back! Now, it does bring the pool to 0%. Ken and John, can you verify if we are having the same problem? At the point when migration is not moving any data, does your CPU Utilization go up to 100% and stay there until you raise the Migration values? I have this problem now, it's a holdover from my ADSM 3.1.2.55. The upgrade didn't make that go away. The pool is actually empty, I wonder what is causing it to think something is there. I have not paid attention to the CPU usage when this is going on, however I have done other things with the server during the migration and it seems to answer up normally. In the past I also had to auditdb to fix the problem. Unfortunately the last time that took forever so I can't afford to run it at the moment. I just let it go, when migrate off runs it quits.

strange restore
See output below: Object name '\\drs01\e$\new copy1\copy1\data\HC- N\hcn pfu and gc\HCN pfu and gc\pfu\PFU3F9' contains one or more unrecognized characters and is not valid. Object name '\\drs01\e$\new copy1\copy1\data\li- ning cells\lcfor 18s\SBLCS25T7' contains one or more unrecognized characters and is not valid. Original Location data\lining cells\lcfor 18s data\HCN\hcn pfu and gc\HCN pfu and gc\pfu You will notice fro the above that TSM has changed the folder names for HCN and lining cells on the restore. I have logged a call with Tivoli support. In the meantime I was wondering if anyone has a clue about how this could happen. I have performed another back /restore and it all worked ok. I even performed one with the changed folder names to establish if TSM could pick up a folder name with those characters. All went well. I have the feeling this is just a fluke. It's not that serious as this was just a test. My worry is, it happened once so it could happen again in a non test environnent. TIA Toni
Re: TSM Upgrade
Before the upgrade, what model tape drive were you using? I currently have 3590-B11 and should I be investigating moving to an E J or K model before/during/after the upgrade. We recently upgraded our 3494's 3590B drives to 3590E-x models, and thought I'd share info on the experience. Note that the server Readme description of the steps involved pretty well covers it. We're running under ADSM server 3.1.2.50 on AIX 4.1 (and will be advancing once our SP is fully deployed). We boosted our Atape and atldd device driver software to the latest levels, in advance, without having to reboot AIX. ADSM remained happy. On the morning of the upgrade I disabled sessions and schedules in ADSM, but left it up. I removed the drive definitions from ADSM. Then I removed them from AIX via 'rmdev -l rmt_ -d'. We have four 3590 drives, but only three upgrade kits had arrived intact: the fourth was damaged by the truckers and had to be replaced...which it turned out tooks weeks, in that this stuff has to come from Mexico. So we proceeded to upgrade three drives and leave the fourth dormant. The work proceeded with ADSM *and* the host system staying up: the hammerhead design of the SCSI connections allows the SCSI chain to be disconnected but remain intact. It took the CEs about an hour per drive, whereafter they turned them over to me. Did a 'cfgmgr', which didn't work well. I thought to do a Reset on the drives, from their front panel, which resulted in a FID error message. I had the CEs attend to that: they had neglected to properly configure the drives. Once that was done, a 'cfgmgr' got better results - but one of the three drives would not show up. In problem isolation, we reconnected the SCSI to the second tail of the drive. That worked, pointing to a defective card pack in the drive. (Blame NAFTA.) Like all other parts, it seems, this one had to be obtained from another state - and as of this date we are still waiting for it! We continue to operate on three drives, which is a bit tight, but manageable. The drive upgrades are generally working well. Like other customers, we too are experiencing an unusual number of I/O errors. I've requested our CE to look into it. Otherwise we are enjoying greatly increased storage capacity. While working in the machine room, with the robot active, I noticed an unusual "thunk" noise as the robot rolled across frames in the 3494. The young CEs, impatient with the black doors closing slowly on the 3494 frames per their piston damping, had been throwing their weight against the frames to force the doors to close faster, and pushed the assembly out of alignment. Something else to needlessly have to get fixed. Richard Sims, BU
Re: Problems after 4.1 Upgrade and Resolutions
I posted a message last week, but it was under a different email address. The new microcode has been loaded and we have seen no errors since (we were seeing at least 2-3 errors a day prior to the fix). It is an engineering fix, microcode level E306. It was loaded last Thursday. At 12:27 PM 2/5/01 -0500, Kathleen M Hallahan wrote: Are the drives themselves showing errors?

Re: Antwort: Re: DB2/2 Backup and Policy
Gerhard (I couldn't send direct to your address, so sending via the list) Yes, the db2adutl.exe command is the one he needs to run. There are parameters to determine how many versions to keep active. Once a backup is marked inactive, and Expire Inventory is run, you'll get the space back. I had a similar situation, and when we fixed it, we emptied over 150 3590B tapes! If I can come across the command, I'll forward it to you, but the DB2 DBA's should be able to find it in their documentation. All of the SHOW commands are undocumented. If you search back through the archive of the list at www.adsm.org, there was a posting of all the commands and what they did. They are meant for TSM support to use to help diagnose problems, but most of them have good uses to us users, too. And yes, the SHOW VERSIONS output you have shows the backups bound to the right management class, so your DBA has that part right. If EXPIRE INVENTORY has run, you may see the inactive version disappear (It may take until tomorrow, as your Retain Last value is set to 1, I believe).

First - Indeed, our DB2 Admin isn't running a DELETE Command. Please, could you send me the syntax of the command, he will have to run or did you mean, that he needs to run the programm DB2ADUTL.EXE ? (After hours of search we found and did run it and TSM marked the specified version as INACTIVE ! YES ... he did it.!!) Second - Is the "show versions" Command undocumented ? I didn't find anything in der TSM Books (for OS/390!) Third - The "show versions" Command shows us = /EDVRTEST : NODE FULL_BACKUP.20010125094902.1 (MC: DB2) Active, Inserted 2001-01-25 09:45:02 ObjId: 0.71406338 /EDVRTEST : NODE FULL_BACKUP.20010125120404.1 (MC: DB2) Active, Inserted 2001-01-25 12:00:06 ObjId: 0.71406339 and so on so all our Versions are really Active - AND they are bound to the requested MC (DB2!) After using the programm DB2ADUTL.EXE one version was marked as inactive as described before.

If you do a "show versions NODENAME /DATABASENAME" you can see all the versions of the backups. If they all show Active, then the DBA isn't running the delete command. The second thing is, in the "show versions" output, you will see the management class it's defined to (MC:name). If it's not the one you want to use, there's another problem. On my DB2 systems (running on AIX, but it should work the same), I have a statement in my include/exclude statement like this: include /DATABASENAME DB2 That binds the database backups to the specified management class. This way I don't have to depend on the DBA, should they make any changes to their configuration. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm one cookie away from happy." - Snoopy (Charles Schulz)
TDP for Domino: Missing log information in ADSM 3.1

System Object Reported as Not Backed Up
I posted last week regarding a problem with the W2K clients running 4.1.2 TSM client code not having their system objects backed up. I received some helpful information and I think I am now successfully backing this up. My problem is, though, that the TSM server still doesn't think so! The scenario is: 2 - TSM servers; one AIX 4.3.3 running TSM 4.1.1 server; one W2K running TSM 4.1.2 server 2 - TMS clients; one W2K Pro; one W2K Server; both running TSM 4.1.2 client The only truly common thread is the 4.1.2 client code. Per the attached snippet from the client's dsmsched.log, the following is supposed to get backed up: 02/06/2001 04:00:03 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN DAILY0400 02/06/2001 04:00:00 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\c$' 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\e$' 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\f$' 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\g$' 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\h$' 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\i$' 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume 'SYSTEM OBJECT' 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'COM+ Database'. 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'Event Log'. 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'System and Boot Files'. 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'Registry'. 02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'RSM Database'. Later on in the log, I get a: "Successful incremental backup of ..." for every one of those objects listed above. So why does "select node_name,filespace_name,backup_end from filespaces where backup_end is null" show me that the SYSTEM OBJECT has never been backed up?? I just opened a PMR with Tivoli, but was wondering if anyone else was seeing this.

Novell DS issue?

Re: AUDITDB failure
ANR4142I AUDITDB: Database audit process terminated in error. Davide - I would first try contacting Tivoli Support to see what they can offer. (Your 3.1.2.90 level is just past the Jan 31 support conclusion date, but try appealing to their sense of support.) APAR IY07860 talks about AUDITDB FIX=YES failures, mentioning that it probably won't happen with a 3.7 server. So if Tivoli can't help, you could think about restoring the db to an earlier point, or going to a 3.7 server level on an emergency basis. Richard Sims, BU

3494 define library in Win2K
Hi There, I have installed TSM 4.1.2 on win/nt2k and I need to connect the TSM server to a 3494 tape library.I have 2 x 3590 tape drive on that library connected to the TSM server through a SCSI Diff interface and another serial cable connecting the library to the TSM server from the serial cable. I have installed the drivers to the nt2k with the drivers i have down loaded from the ibm ftp site index.storsys.ibm.com/devdrv/win2000. the driver ware installed successfully. I checked the ntutils and the open close device test was successful. the next thing that I need to do is to define the library from the tsm command line. ( I defined the dsmserv.opt with enablelibrary3494 = yes ) and try to execute the define library command from tsm command line define library my3494 libtype=scsi device= x x x x .. but I only had the drives mt0.0.X in the NT OS, I couldn't find the library lb0.0.0.1 or something in the os . so what do i need to define in the define library from the tsm. is the serial port is the device ?

Re: 3494 define library in Win2K
The 3494 is not a SCSI library. Check the syntax of your define libr command to determine the proper libtype to use. The library driver will offer the name you specified in the lb.conf file (I'm winging it here a bit since I haven't done this in a while). That, with the proper syntax will allow you to define the library. I apologize for the vagueness of this reply but hopefully it will get you started down the correct path. Kelly J.

DSMADMC from Visual Basic Shell Function?
I'm attempting to write a VB application to monitor the daily ADSM schedule
and to issue several commands throughout the day. My problem is that when I
use the shell command nothing seems to be working. I do not get any errors
but I do not get any output either. The format of the shell command I'm
using is provided below. I have not set any environment variables and plan
on executing the VB application under Windows 2000.
The following should issue the "q fi".
Private Sub Command1_Click()
x = Shell("C:\Progra~1\IBM\ADSM\saclient\DSMADMC.EXE -id=admin -pa=x
-outfile=c:\cmdout.txt q fi")
End Sub
The function runs without error but I do not get the -outfile allocated.
Thanks in advance for any input to my problem!

Installation ERROR client 22088_16_BA
Hello, I'm trying to install a new TSM4.1.1.16 Win32 client on a Windows NT4.0 SP6a client. After copying the files from the package (22088_16_BA) to the temporary directory, the installation starts configuring the Windows Installer. This process end in a "Internal Error 1631" and the client installation aborts. On some other NT machines (NT4.0 SP6a) the installation works fine. I have searched the ADSM search database but couldn't find the Error 1631 message. Also I have removed msiexec entries from the registry and tried the installation again. Still without any success! Hopefully some NT/TSM goeroe can point me in the right direction because the NT folks aren't very enthusiastic about reinstalling the complete system and we (storage management) are in a situation where TSM has to prove itself.

Re: 3494 define library in Win2K
We just went through this and was told by IBM that serial connection to the library is not supported for w2k. This is confirmed by the tape drive, medium changer book. You need to use a lan connection, TR or ethernet. We installed ethernet cards in the 3494 attached one in the tsm server and it worked.

Re: IMAUDIT.C
-Davide- From the messages below the auditdb encounters an entry in the Expiring.Object table which does not have a corresponding Object. Ids entry. In consequence it tries to delete this entry but fails with 'key not found'. Means, there is an inconsistency in the database which can not be corrected by dump/load/audit. To get rid of the problem you may have to RESTORE the DATABASE from a db backup version obtained before the server had crashed or was brought down. Alternatively, you could try to start the server from mirror volumes if available. By the way, an error 2 deleting a row means that the record in question could not be found. Whether or not this should terminate the audit is a point of debate. The audit process cannot possibly correct every possible form of corruption within the ADSM/TSM database.

Backing Up Novell Directory Structure

Is there some way to calculate the size of the storage pool I should use for this management class? I have no idea how large to make it. I don't plan to define a next pool because I want it to stay on disk. Also, how is this affected by previous backups that have been run without the dirmc option? Will a new incremental backup with the option backup the entire structure to the new storage pool or will some of it still be retained with the previous backups. Is there somewhere besides the Admin Guide, Admin Reference, and Novell client manuals that I can find more documentation on this? Thanks for any help. Louis J.

Latest vesion of ADSM for AIX
Hello, What was the last version of ADSM v3.1 released for AIX 4.3? I saw mention of 3.1.2.90 but Tivoli has removed all the 3.1x code for AIX from the ftp site. We are currently running 3.1.2.40 so if anybody has a later version could they pass it along? An ftp pointer would be fine. Thanks.
Re: Backupsets vs. copy storage pools
I use COPY POOL. I to am a OS390 guy. I setup a different device class so there is a different high level qualifier for the offsite COPY POOL. This works real well with the tape management software, CA-1. By the way, We executed our DR plan once already with TSM included. It was no problem without DRM. I think DRM may have a lot more value when you don't have a good tape management software package. I really don't know for sure because I never have had it. BUt that is what I have been told...

Re: Can not cancel sessions
I had this happen with a Lotus Notes node awhile back even after killing its scheduler. First stop the scheduler on the node then disable sessions on the server and then cancel the session. This caused the Notes agent to keep trying to check in but eventually it gave up. This worked for me. -Original Message- From: Diane Geils [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 3:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can not cancel sessions How about killing the scheduler on that node.

Re: Migration doesn't end
Thanks, John. Sounds like the same problem, TSM spins it's wheels until you raise the migration value. Do you have a problem open with Tivoli? I do - PMR # 20860. I am hoping if other people that have this problem report it to Tivoli it may help out on a resolution. I have ran an AUDIT DB (audit volume did not fix) and it did fix the problem, but the problem reappeared in a week.

Scheduler hangs
Has anyone else seen this, or have a solution? Occasionally we see the scheduler freeze up on Unix systems (Solaris). There are no errors in the scheduler log - the last entry is just a file which was being backed up. The scheduler process is running, but not doing anything. We must kill the scheduler process and restart it to get backups working again. This is starting to be a pain for us. Client level is v4.1.1, but I think we've seen this on several different levels. Thanks. ..Paul

Re: tape mount retention behaviour
Alex, I don't know if I'm using EXTERNAL library types. How would I tell? I have a 3466-C10 that was originally internal (rack) DLT changer (15 slots) We '"down"graded' it to a C00 and bought 3494 w/3590s. Would that be considered a 'third' party media even though its both IBM? What difference should it make anyway? The *SM software should handle it the same. And I don't care about the status after mounting I care about the status of the tape and drive after the tape is "IDLE" and no longer in use but still mounted. thanks ... joe.f.

Re: tape mount retention behaviour
Steffan , Joek, no, not really. As I stated originally, previously in 3.1.2.20 I observed the tapes being dismounted as soon as another request of any kind was pending regardless of their retention period. And I've observed tapes staying mounted for the full retention period when there's no need for the drive by a pending mount request. Now with 3.7.2 I'm not seeing this 'nice' behaviour but the now the tape sits there blockin another request until the full mount retention expires. This is inefficient in a 2 drive system. And I'm not pointing to restore request only I'm pointing out this behaviour for all mounts. Setting it to 1 or zero is not the answer. THere are times when I want a tape to stay mounted until the drive is needed for something else, two I can think of are THE offsite/COPYPOOL tape because I run backup diskpool copypool every so often and , more importantly, when a user is running successive restores and keeps requesting the same tape. Has there been previous discussion of this? I can't find it on adsm.org. .. joe.f. Joseph A Faracchio, Systems Programmer, UC Berkeley On Mon, 5 Feb 2001, arhoads wrote: It does work that way.

Which client version is best for a Win2000-server?
Revised post 02/06/01 Below is a compilation of info that has been posted to this list about the TSM Win32 client. All available versions of the Win32 client have SUPPORT ISSUES that you must address carefully to preserve data integrity in your Win2K backups. Some of these problems also affect WinNT, noted below. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. If you find errors or have additional information, please post it and I will update this list regularly. Most of the problems below only affect those who are backing up via the scheduler. Where search keywords are included you can search for the original postings at: www.adsm.org. ++ Level 3.7.2.01 -- Win2K: Some clients get "export of RSM data base fails" error during scheduled backup. The scheduler stops and no backups are done, but it REPORTS SUCCESS BACK TO THE SERVER. YOU CAN"T BE SURE whether you are getting backups of your Win2K machines or not without checking the scheduler log. This should be posted as a HIPER problem on the Tivoli web site as it is a MAJOR INTEGRITY problem to report failed backups as OK. Search keywords: "EXPORT RSM". If you don't need registry backups, avoid the problem by using the BACKUPREG NO option. One person reported correcting it by setting the RSM service to MANUAL start. --Win2K: APAR IC27196 There are other cases where scheduled backups fail but are reported as COMPLETED successfully back to the server. This is fixed in 4.1.2. --Win2K, WinNT: Our old favorite the Daylight Savings time bug has returned, it does a full backup when it should not. --Win2K, WinNT: APAR IC27249 If the setup wizard is used to configure an existing dsm.opt file for web client or scheduler, the include/exclude statements are removed. Fixed in 4.1.2. +++ Level 3.7.2.17 --Win2K, WinNT: This level has fix for the Daylight Savings Time bug. +++ Level 4.1.1 --Win2K: One person reported RSM EXPORT error as in the 3.7.2.01 above. --Win2K: At Level 4.1.1, the scheduler does not give you backups of the system objects, you must create your own .bat files to back them up with commands. --Win2K, WinNT: Level 4.1.1 also has the Daylight Savings Time bug. --WinNT, WIN2K: Reports of unusually slow archiving times with TSM 4.1.1 client. Search: "archiving problems with TSM". --Win2K: APAR IC27728 - if backing up with compression=yes and compressalways=no, the backup of system ojbects is not complete. Bypass - use compressalways=no if using compression. --Win2K, WinNT: APAR IC27249 If the setup wizard is used to configure an existing dsm.opt file for web client or scheduler, the include/exclude statements are removed. Fixed in 4.1.2. Level 4.1.1.16 -- Win2K, WinNT: This level has the fix for the Daylight Savings Time bug. Level 4.1.2 -- Win2K: One person has reported the EXPORT RSM bug as in 3.7.2.01. In this case the RSM error did NOT prevent the backup of other data, although it still reported SUCCESS back to the server. --Win2K: At 4.1.2 the scheduler DOES back up the system objects automatically as part of a normal incremental backup. --Win2K: Your server must be at 3.7.3 at least, or the client will not back up the registry, even though earlier versions of the client did so. --Win2K, WinNT: The 4.1.2 client has changed the structure for registry backups so now a system32\config subdirectory is created in \adsm.sys as part of registry backup. However, the 4.1.2 client has an EXCLUDE statement that prevents these files in system32\config from being sent to the server. Current older TSM clients that you plan to upgrade in place also, in MANY INSTALLATIONS, have this EXCLUDE statement and will prevent registry backups from being saved. So you must NOT USE the exclude list provided with the client for new installs, and for existing clients you must ALTER your include/exclude lists to add: include *:\adsm.sys\...\*. You must PREVENT YOUR USERS from installing the 4.1.2 clients until you have taken care of this problem. FOR TIVOLI TO DISTRIBUTE THE CLIENT IN THIS FASHION IS APPALLING. This should be flagged as a HIPER problem on the Tivoli Web site, as having someone simply install the 4.1.2 client over an older client will CREATE AN INTEGRITY PROBLEM that they will never be aware of until they try to do a restore. Search keyword: "REGISTRY EXCLUDED". From www.redbooks.ibm.com you can download a new document, SG24-6141-00, that has a tested EXCLUDE list suitable for Win2K. Win2K: APAR IC29368 - User Abort on Backup. Client displays User Abort when error detected instead of displaying proper error message, it is sometimes easy to determine what the real error is, sometimes not so easy. --Win2K: APAR IC29356 - Different number of system objects backed up via web client than GUI or cmd line, pretty minor but make sure you don't rely on a backup of the System Objects made with the Web Client. --Win2K: Bare Metal Restore, on person
Re: Sun client does with multiple scheds
There are three ways to do what you want Backupsets, Archives Multiple nodenames. There is no method of doing this with standard TSM backup facilities on a single node - it is not the TSM way. That said, it used to be that every defined TSM node cost extra but with Tivoli's latest pricing method, you pay a number of points depending on client type and the node count is now irrelevant. This means that you can define as many nodes as you wish and add licences for them at will. Just be prepared with the right number of licences when Tivoli come and manually audit you. I've just been through this with my account rep because we want to run one client per machine plus one client per app in a Sun cluster. We only need to pay for one client per machine. "James healy" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/02/2001 3:54:20 Anyone care to share how they run multiple schedules for a node? IE a daily, monthly and an annual. I like to set it up so each has a different management class and I'm trying to figure out how to do it without using a different nodename for each.
