Re: Linking RMAN to ADSM
Donald,
With Oracle 8.1.x all you need to do to use a third party media management
library
is to set that link. You have the link set correctly, so Oracle should be
using
the TDP for Oracle library file. You didn't by chance run the make command?
You might want to give Oracle support a call and ask why it is using the
test disk
library file, when the link has been changed.

James,
On our system the library is libobk.so
Here is the output from the find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \; command

The links correct. What are the last two lines though?
There was nothing returned from the find / -name libobk.a -exec what {} \;
command
Thanks Again

I always like the command
find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \;
and
find / -name libobk.a -exec what {} \;
The first searches for all occurences of libobk.a and lists them in long
format so
that you can see if your links are correct. You should rename Oracle's
libobk.a disk
library file.
The second makes sure that the libobk.a is the right version.
All you need is a soft link in the Oracle directory to /usr/lib/libobk.a
which should in
turn point to the tsm directory where the TDP for Oracle library file
resides.

Subject: Linking RMAN to ADSM
I am trying to set up RMAN 8.1.6 to communicate with ADSM/TDP. At one point
I was able to do an RMAN tablespace backup to tape and then was also able to
do a restore. Now when I try to get a tape backup it goes to disk. In the
RMAN output it tells me it is using the Oracle Test Disk API. There are
other errors, but I suspect that this is the problem. I have tried shutting
down the databases and removing the soft link and relinking (soft).
One thing I noticed when I do :
ldd oracle|grep libobk.so
I get nothing back. Shouldn't I be seeing something here?
Also can anyone explain what the BACKUP_DIR environment variable?
Thank You

Re: DB2/2 Backup and Policy
You haven't said if you are running the db2adutl commmand to expire old backup versions. Db2 backups are saved with a timestamp so each db2 backup is an 'active version' The only way they become inactive and eligible for expiration is if you run the db2adutl command that deletes the backups.

>dsmc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: >cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Michael - Two final things I would check: 1. That the library which the rpm listing says is installed, is actually in the usual place: /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 2. That the invoker shell does not have a LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable which specifies places where the library is not. Beyond that I would try installing the client on another Linux box and see if any different behavior. As Joerg Nouvertne suggested, this could be a library content issue, rather than existence issue. You might also be able to inspect the contents of the TSM 4.1 client binary to see if it has a wacky LD_LIBRARY_PATH compiled into it. If the client you downloaded is older than one available on the Tivoli FTP site, the newer one on the site may have received corrections. If all else fails, if you have a Tivoli support contract, give them a call. Richard Sims, BU

Since it's all AIX, you will be able to restore the old TSM database on the new TSM server and voila. Note that your drive and library definitions in the restored server will definitely be wrong.

tsm client acceptor
Hi there, I would like to know how to install TSM Client Acceptor under 4.12? I noticed that if old tivoli box has tsm client acceptor service exists then there is no problem with tsm 4.12upgrade. However if this is a brand new computer, when I installed tsm 4.12 client , tsm client acceptor and tsm remote agent will not get installed ( at least I don't see them user services) . And I am doing a complete installation not a custom. What gives ? Thanks for your sharing in advance. Sandy LA dotd IT support.

Re: Server to Server
The things to watch for in a server-2-server configuration involving diskpools is too make sure the receiving diskpool can buffer the archive (! server-2-server data uses a defined archive copy group !) sent over by the source server, the parameter to watch is the 'max cap' for the device class defined for server-2-server. Also make sure the sources node name defined in the server definition (as in q server f=d) has a maxnummp setting of at least 2, this is crucial if archiving direct to tape. As a closer don't forget to set max scratch on the receiving sequential storage pool, and for the WAN(ners) if possible set client compression on, this helps reducing the amount of client data pushed thru the WAN. regards Walter Ridderhof - ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.

TSM hangs
Hi, I issued "checkin libv 8mm-library search=yes checkl=barcode status=scratch" to checkin a scratch tape for database backup. Right after that, I remembered that I should check the volhist. So I issued "q volh t=dbb" and find out that the volume I was trying to check in dad been used for database backup. So I did "delete volh t=dbb todate=-14" to try to turn that volume into a scratch tape. But after this command, TSM server hung. I waited a while and then issued "cancel proc ***" to cancel the checkin process. I guess the command sequence created a database deadlock or something and "q proc" told me the cancelling is in process. I waited about an hour, hoping the TSM sever can figure out a way itself. But finally I decide to stop TSM server. When I tried to restart the server, I had a error of "Can not open adsmserv.lock". So I mv it to "adsmserv.lock.old" and restart was succesful. To my surprise, TSM 4.1, unlike ADSM3.1, remembers what it was doing last time it was running. When I did "q proc", the cancelling proc was still in process. Does anybody know what I should do?

You're starting ONE process and FOUR CPUs go busy?? Are you sure? Have your AIX people run monitoring as the incremental backup starts and runs, to gather information. You can also turn on client tracing to see where time is going. Remember that during a basic Incremental the amount of work to be done is proportional to the number of files in the file system and in the filespace as stored on the server. It sounds like a huge file system is involved in this backup. You might want to try a -incrbydate flavor of Incremental to get contrasting numbers, which elminates having the server filespace complement sent to the client, massaged by the client, and then compared as it steps through the file system.

Re: LTO versus 3590
Hi Paul! I don't know anything about AIT. We are currently using 3570 because of it's fast data access times, but we need a larger library. Since we are already using the largest one (3575-L32) our only option was to use more libraries. Not something you would like to do in a TSM configuration. We narrowed the choices down to two, 3590 and LTO. 3590 because it's compatible with our OS/390 environment, should we want to integrate in the future, and LTO because it's an open architecture. We choose for 3590 because little was known about LTO about a year ago.

Broken mirror or FS snapshot for Linux
We have been using ADSM and TSM to back up a number of OpenMail servers running under HP-UX. OpenMail stores messages in a database implemented as a large collection of small Unix files. A sound backup requires a self-consistent snapshot of the entire collection of files. We have been able to stop OpenMail briefly, obtain snapshots of the file systems containing the message store, and start OpenMail again. OpenMail could then run while *SM was backing up the snapshots. We have used two methods of obtaining the file system snapshots. Some of the file systems are on mirrored disks, with the mirroring implemented by the Logical Volume Manager. In these cases we use the lvsplit command to sever the connection between the two disks, mount the former mirror, and have *SM back it up. When the backup was done, we unmounted the former mirror and used the lvmerge command to return it to its normal role as a mirror. More recently some of the message store file systems have used RAID-5 implemented within the disk subsystem controller. In these cases we mount a relatively small logical volume using the snapof option to make it a read-only snapshot of the message store file system. The space in the snapshot logical volume is used to record the old versions of blocks changed by writes to the message store. A read from the snapshot will obtain data from the message store logical volume if the disk block involved has not changed since the snapshot was created. Otherwise the read will obtain the saved version of the block from the snapshot logical volume. We are now considering running an OpenMail server under Linux. Does Linux have anything analogous to either of the mechanisms described in the previous paragraph?

Re: TSM and 3494 Library Sharing
Hi Bill Thanks for the response it is very helpful, my next question is that when I use the VOLRANGE parameter must it always be the entire range of tapes. And when this is done does this completely discount the other tapes from being included in the others checkin procedure. In response to the other e-mail. Both Sun Servers can see all the drives and they are attached through dual brocade switches.

When you put tapes in the 3494, they are placed in the insertion catagory and the first 'host' to grab them get them. So you could possibly checkin serverA's tapes in for serverB and write over good data. For my AIX TSM Server, I create a server script that has the CHECKIN command with all my parameters. I then schedule this in an admin schedule to run daily after I know the operators have done tape rotation. TSM won't let you actually schedule a checkin command, but you can imbed it in a script and schedule the script. Also, this is the only command I run to manually check tapes in...RUN CHECKIN (CHECKIN is my script name). This way I make sure that I'm not going to checkin some other servers' tapes. We use a naming convention for out tape volsers. R0-R9 is for the AIX server, and M0-M9 is for our OS/390 systems.

Re: import node into a different domain
The only way I find around this was to recreate the old Domain on the new server, with a stgpool if necessary, and then update the node to the new domain after the import. If a stgpool is necessary, I make it so small that it migrates to the desired stgpool immediately.

My UNIX adminer removed some of the data so it is relatively impossible to state with 100% accuracy what changed on the systems that could have caused this. Does any one have any idea what is causing this? Here is some more details if you need them. We have no dsmc client listener processes running on the client box for either nodes. We have two node names defined on the TSM server for the client host. One node name is defined for the normal client and the other node name is defined for the TDP API client.

Server Migration
Hello.. I currently have 1 IBM 3466 B03, 1 IBM 3466 C30, and TSM on 390. The B03 is being replaced by a C01. B03 is a microchannel RS/6000 running ADSM 3.1.2.50 The C01 will be a PCI H70 RS/6000 running TSM 3.7.2.0. I will be responsible for migrating all the data from the B03 to the C01. Both Servers/3494's are at the same location so I think import/export may not be the fastest approach. Basically the swing over will take place over one weekend. Does anyone have any guidance as to what my approach should be to make the swing and migrate all the data over to the new machine? Transporting the old tapes to the new machine would not be a problem. The only difference between the new and old 3494 ATL will be the drives. The B03 has 3590 B1A's (4 of them) and the C01 will have 6 3590 E1A's. Please bare with me.. I'm new (TSM admin for 1 month). Thanks in advance... Denis
Re: MagStar Tape Library #3575 vs. LTO
Great idea, Miles. Some of my installations use older technology, e.g DLT or 8mm Mammoth for offsite DR and use LTO for on-site normal backup. This way the investment in old technology is redeployed. With DLT and 8mm you don't have the slow-as-molasses reclamation processing if these technologies are used for DR. Offsite reclamation only produces output tapes and hence can even be used with small single-drive DLT libraries since the input for offsite reclamation comes from the LTO library.

ReadPswdFromRegistry(): RegOpenPathEx(): Win32 RC=2-- does this mean that it is looking for the password, going to the path and then giving the return code of 2-- the system cannot find the file specified, i.e., the encrypted password isn't in the registry? (Passwordaccess is generate in the dsm.opt files, and the password at the server has not been manually changed prior to the client accessing the server). Since it is showing that after accessing the server, it is asking for the userid and password, is this the action that will "seed" the password? Why doesn't dsmcutil updatepw work anymore? It used to be that if you resync'd the password with the dsmcutil, it worked. Now it seems that it may or may not work, for a few days or not. Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you make it go away?? thanks!! lisa
Re: Linking RMAN to ADSM
James,
On our system the library is libobk.so
Here is the output from the find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \; command
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 43 Feb 1 09:28 /usr/lib/libobk.so ->

The links correct. What are the last two lines though?
There was nothing returned from the find / -name libobk.a -exec what {} \; command
Thanks Again

I always like the command
find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \;
and
find / -name libobk.a -exec what {} \;
The first searches for all occurences of libobk.a and lists them in long
format so
that you can see if your links are correct. You should rename Oracle's
libobk.a disk
library file.
The second makes sure that the libobk.a is the right version.
All you need is a soft link in the Oracle directory to /usr/lib/libobk.a
which should in
turn point to the tsm directory where the TDP for Oracle library file
resides.

Subject: Linking RMAN to ADSM
I am trying to set up RMAN 8.1.6 to communicate with ADSM/TDP. At one point
I was able to do an RMAN tablespace backup to tape and then was also able to
do a restore. Now when I try to get a tape backup it goes to disk. In the
RMAN output it tells me it is using the Oracle Test Disk API. There are
other errors, but I suspect that this is the problem. I have tried shutting
down the databases and removing the soft link and relinking (soft).
One thing I noticed when I do :
ldd oracle|grep libobk.so
I get nothing back. Shouldn't I be seeing something here?
Also can anyone explain what the BACKUP_DIR environment variable?
Thank You
