Re: BMR Software
Steve, When did you use BMR? I understand NT support is rather new (and I am interested in this enhancement as well as existing platforms). Could you be more specific about when and what problems you encountered. Could you be more specific about your "NT in an AIX environment"? Did The Kernel Group provide support? What was your impression? Are you still using it? It's too bad that Tivoli dropped this concept and I am very glad that The Kernel Group has kept our hopes for this Disaster Recovery tool alive. Well, not only DR, but everyday recovery as well. ... just me $.02 John G. Talafous IS Technical Principal The Timken CompanyGlobal Software Support P.O.

Re: TDP for Informix 4.1 - Expiring Informix logs ...?
George, here is the answers to yr questions: Question1: Can the TDP 4.1 restore from one machine to another??? Answer1: Yes, it can, we just refreshed a 380 GB Lawson DB from the production server to the QA server this past weekend, no problem at all. Question2: Also can the TDP 4.1 backup individual data bases or tables from an application server ??? Answer2: Yes, it can, via onbar. Not only backup them, but also restore them as well. Of-course, on both cases DBA expertise are needed, however TSM works as designed. Cheers.

Howdy Othonas! Hope you are doing well... haven't heard from you in a while...

Re: 3570 tape stuck??
Ray... It would seem that you do have a bad drive... try taking the tape that is supposed to be mounted and stick it in any open/available slot; Do an initialize element status to refresh the memory register on your library or reboot it and then run audit library checklabel=barcode. This command will read the info that is held in the memory of the library and you will be back in business minus the downed drive. TSM is usually pretty good about allowing downed drives to be brought back on line if the probably was a dirty drive which has been cleaned or bad media (excessive errors caused by a particular tape volume).

Well further digging and i disovered one of the two drives marked as UnAvailable in TSM. I removed the library cartridge and the lights on the front of the drive are blinking indicating a fault condition. Rebooting the drive and restarting TSM, TSM polls the drive then marks it UnAvailable. I think it's hardware. I've placed a service call with IBM. I did get an audit library to finish and got this error: ANR8834E Library volume 0045E3 is still present in library 3570LIB drive TAPE1 (/dev/rmt1), and must be removed manually. Which seems to say to me that TSM thinks the tape is still mounted, but can't check since the drive is unavailable. This explains why i'm unable to mount or check it out. If TSM would just look, it would see the tape is in the LIBRARY, NOT in the drive, hahah. Ah well, i have a 3583 waiting to be installed, and i hope it is more robust than the 3570. The 3570 always seemed a little flaky... Thanks all for the suggestions... later!

Re: expiring Informix logs ...?
Howdy Othonas! Hope you are doing well... haven't heard from you in a while... I think the problem with doing expiration and reclamation of backups made with SQL-BackTrack for Informix lies in the fact that if you use an older version of the product, the agent places a long time stamp on the filespace name making each name UNIQUE. Thus, you are left with a zillion unique filespaces, each being an ONLY version of a db backup. This truly complicates expiration you basically must go in and erase filespaces manually. With the newer version of SQL-BackTrack for Informix, it has the ability to delete back generation of a database. The generations term is used by BMC to distinguish between versions as each Informix backup is actually unique. It appears you can only retain 9 unique generations at most; meaning if you backup up daily, the most you can retain, using the agent is 9 days worth. You can also expire using a date. These features only became available on V.3... we are testing it now and it is a pain to install... BMC's directions are not great ;-(. Anyway, I am far from an expert in these matters but I do have some experience with deleting filesets which is necessary, even if you put backups into their own management class/copy group. BTW: I have completed implimenting all the recommendations you made and just finished documenting the whole mess. During the course of the documentation, I redid all management classes, copy groups and schedules to make them work the way we wanted and have everything revolving around our logical business day as you suggested. The redbook has some good tips on scheduling stuff so that our admin processes are not overlapping with backups and such. Thanks- hope my rambling made some sense...

Steve - Run your backup from a script and have the script executing by making
the schedule action=cmd. Here is a
sample from the script that runs executes backup agent (dtibackup). You could
also use your TSM commands as easily.
Hope this is what you are looking for:

ANR9999D Error Message
Has anyone ever seen the message "ANRD smnode.c (6502) : Cannot push Normalized Insert Verb."? This occurred when a restore session was kicked off during the night, and it cancelled a backup in order to claim the tape drive. Normally when that happens the backup cancels cleanly and restarts with a new session; in this case the original session will not die, and it spawned two new sessions (which did nothing because they were waiting for the tape that the original session still has). Any thoughts as to what might have caused this or how it might be preventable? Thanks! Kathleen

Re: TDP for SAP R/3 compression vs. TAPE DRIVE compression
Well -- I get a compression ratio of 1.26 from backint on a 554 GB Oracle database, and then manage to get around 102 GB per tape on Quantum DLT-7000 drives on the 35/70 GB tapes. So the Quantum drives, at least, are getting about a 3:1 compression *after* the 25% compression from backint.

Decision Support for TSM
In decision support for storage management analysis, when you generate a report you have two fields you can fill in. One is the server you want to generate a report for and the other is a Date. Seems like regardless of what date I type in there, I get back nothing. Only when I leave it blank do I get tons of results (way too much). How do you properly specify a single date and a range of dates in this field? It doesn t like anything I try..

Re: I realy need your help
This one isn't difficult... you have a tape which has media errors (TSM has a problem writing to it) and the next stanza in your actl will probably say that the tape access is read only. I have a 3575 L32 and approximatly 1 percent of my tapes over the last 8 months or so have ended up in reado access due to write errors. If there is an excessive amount of errors, a drive may be downed if the offending volume continues to be mounted but typically TSM handles write errors fairly well. If you distrust the tape (it is in an error state or readonly), you can move the data on it to other volumes within its copypool. Also, you can check your error log on your system (you didn't say what O/S you are using) to see if these errors are reflected in this log. On an AIX system, they will be and if there is a bad drive, you can see what remedial things need to be done. Usually, for media errors, the error report will suggest that you have a bad tape or need to clean the tape heads.

Re: expiring Informix logs ...?
Hi Arnaud, I am now in the final testing phase before going production on SQL-BackTrack for Informix V.3 (was on 2.1). This version has an "expiration" feature built into its 'ibacktrack' program which will allow expiration of logs via that utility and will also generate a script which you can run via the TSM admin schedule or Maestro to expire old Informix logs. The 2.1 version we were using before did not have any expiration and TSM couldn't expire this stuff so I went through our filespaces once in a while and deleted old filespaces. The problem with this (we have large databases) is that it would overload our reclamation process. I have a 3575 L32 and must use an overflow location and when the Informix filespaces were deleted, I would end up spending a few days in front of the library shuffling tapes. Hopefully, the V.3 expiration capability (by using scripts it generates) will fix this.

Re: 3570 tape stuck??
Bill, Thank you, that fixed the problem! I couldn't figure out the front panel, so I used tapeutil to load the tape into the drive, then restarted adsm to let it find the tape still there. I am still concerned about the SCSI_ERR10 and TAPE_ERR4 entries in the aix error log, so a CE is coming out to have a look at the drive. But the drive is functioning ok now, so i doubt he will do anything. later! Ray On Mon, 12 Feb 2001, Bill Smoldt wrote: > Ray, > > I had the exact thing happen to me last week at a site with a 3570.

Re: expiring Informix logs ...?
Arnaud hi, I am a little troubled understanding why you say that "TSM is unable to expire those logs". If you use a separate mgmt class and copygroup for your logs, and your copygroup parameters are set properly, TSM will expire your logs. Maybe if you want to give us some more details of yr installation... Cheers. Othonas PS: I bet Basel is beautiful this time of the year...

Re: tsm client acceptor
Beginning with TSM 4.1 and the use of Microsoft Installer, the Web Client and Scheduler services are not automatically configured at package installation time. They can either be configured via dsmcutil as was mentioned in a previous post, or you can run the setup wizards from the backup/archive GUI.

Re: 3570 tape stuck??
One other thought is to do a q req and see if any requests outstanding. If not then my final suggestion then is to HALT *SM and restart as this will clear any hung condition.

backup image on Solaris with message _file system is not loacl_
Folks, we just migrated from ADSM 3.1 to TSM 4.1 on AIX 4.3.3. Now we would use the new feature image backup. We backed up a test filesystem on one of our AIX clients which worked fine. Then wie tried to backup image a file system of a Solaris box which brought a message like _file system is not loacl_! The file system is a striped Solstice Disk Suite 4.2 managed array of disks. Is it possible, that the TSM client doesnt notice this file system as local? If so, is there a trick to image backup this fs? TIA Reinhold Wagner, Zeuna Staerker GmbH & Co.KG

AFAIK the SCSI drive has reported an error to the ADSM server, where no corresponding translation is available. The SENSE data can be interpreted using the drive manual. Vaild SENSE data on a SCSI drive always starts with 70 and usually has a translation (Descritpion=Changer failure, etc.); every other code (like F0 in your case) does not meet the SCSI specifications and therefore reports an "undetermined error". It might be, that there was a short communication problem on the SCSI bus, however, I would contact the technical support of the vendor to get clarification. -- Joerg Nouvertne ... who still runs ADSM 3.1, but who will take the new adventure TSM 4.1 soon.
