file level.
byte-level backup (adaptive subfile backup) requires a client overhead which would
not be suitable for server situation. It was designed client machines with irregular
connections (eg. laptop on a dial-up)

If the file locks or is being written to, it will fail (it will retry a busy file
several times). If you open the exchange client then, successfully, copy the *.pst
file, it can back up.

There is supposed to be a DP module for the ESS, but I havent heard back from
Tivoli about "how it actually works" and "is it available".
http://www.tivoli.com/products/index/data_protect_ess/index.html
Another angle could be IP over FC. Someone asked that question a few days ago.
We have put in the SAN/Shark topology. IBM marketing assured us that they will
have the tools to do LAN/Server free backup. If they actually deliver will
be another story.

Re: Help requested on TSM Admin Position Description
Steve, Our company is a $120 M manufacturing company with 1000 employees. We use ADSM (TSM 4.1 in about 10 days). Runs on AIX, 6 TB total data on tape, 3575s as main libraries, DLTs for offsite. Total inventory of all tapes is about 800 volumes. Backups are online in the libraries. Archives are near-line on site (library too small). We have two admins who share the load. I've worked with the system for 3 years after inheriting it from a former employee; the other admin was trained by me over the last 9 months or so. Each of us "takes" the system for one week at a time. Whichever admin has the system that week, this is what is performed: * daily operation surveillance (15 minutes spent checking the system's health is critical for reliable operation). * tape handling and process monitoring while system maintenance processes are running. This occurs once per week. We have procedures governing those two activities. Each network admin (we have five including the two *SM admins) also checks the results of each system's backup at least once per week, using another procedure we've developed. The *SM admin devotes about 8-10 hours per week doing the stuff described above. When I have the system, I sometimes do other special tasks that add to that amount. Hope this helps.

FIVE questions for TSM 4.1.2 (server on AIX, clients on Windows)
Can somebody help me...?
We are in the process of implementing TSM, an IBM Shark, and a SAN all at
the same time (I'm swamped)! We are replacing EMC's Data Manager, an EMC
Symmetrix, and Veritas' Backup Exec with one brand new TSM server running on
an IBM RS/6000 (H80, 1GB RAM, 500GB Internal SSA Disk for storage pools,
Gigabit Ethernet to LAN, Fibre Channel to SAN, 5 LTO tape drives, and as
much additional 'shark' disk as necessary) performing backups on the
following server platforms:
12 AIX (will grow to 13 by mid-March, currently backed up with EDM)
43 Windows (will grow to about 130 by mid-March, currently backed up with
Backup Exec)
While I could think of hundreds of things to ask, I'll limit my request to
these five TSM questions:
1. When TSM performs incremental backups, does it backup the ENTIRE
file (at a file level) or does it only backup the CHANGES to the file (at a
binary level)? EXAMPLE: When backing up our primary file server that
contains users' home directories with MS Exchange *.pst and *.pab files that
may be quite large, will it only backup the small changes to those large
files?
2. When backing up MS Exchange files such as *.pst and *.pab, does it
require them to be closed so that it can have access, or will it back them
up while they are opened? EXAMPLE: When (using the above example) TSM runs
it's backups, will the "Access Denied" message appear when it tries to
backup "user123.pst" because the user stayed logged in over night.
3. Is there a SAN agent for Windows 2000 that would allow us to backup
the above environments without impacting the network? EXAMPLE: Since the
server above is on IBM ESS disk ("Shark") attached via a Fibre Channel SAN,
can we stop using Ethernet to backup "user123.pst" and similar files?
4. Is there a MAC agent that allows for the "illegal characters"
associated with Apple/Macintosh naming conventions? EXAMPLE: We have an NT
server that the MAC clients connect to. This NT server contains the home
directories for all the MAC clients. Veritas' Backup Exec handles these
files (and their "illegal characters") correctly, but TSM has problems.
5. Can we "lock down" the option to restore files to any location other
than their original location so that "first level" support can restore files
from users' home directories, but not restore them to a location where they
can view them? EXAMPLE: I'd like to off-load some of my less technical
responsibilities to our Support Center, but I don't want to give them the
security to 'snoop' other peoples' home directories.

db2 backup to tsm fails
Managed to fix the problem. We initially installed this system at TSM client API 4.1.2. However we were advised to backlevel to a previous version of the API. Apparently 4.1.2 was known not to work. We thought we had correctly deinstalled the TSM client but a file c:\winnt\system32\adsmv3.dll was left lying around. When we installed an earlier version of the TSM API this DLL did not get overwritten. Even though the whole client was at 4.1.0, just this one file was at 4.1.2. We manually deleted this file and reinstalled the TSM client. DB2 backups now working!!! Richard.

Re: TSM-HSM experiences?
Our experience with it was good and bad. Our platform was an AIX ADSM server and AIX HSM clients. When it worked, it worked pretty well, but when it broke, it broke bad. In all fairness, we were running in a not recommend environment: on hosts with many millions of files in an HA environment. We had some problems with reconciliation on the hosts once there was an HA roll because the HSM logging/tracking files (Sorry, I don't remember the file names, but they were in the ".SpaceMan" directory, I do remember that),resided on a local filesystem that did not roll with the HSM filesystems. Probably a misconfiguration from the beginning on our end. Eventually, it came down to the fact that disks had become so cheap, that instead of the overhead and administration of HSM, we would just keep it all the data local on disks. On the bright side, when we eventually restored all the HSM files to another host, only 60 of the 17,000,000 files came up missing. Sure, it was 60 files, but as a percentage of total files, we thought it was pretty good. I think the product has a place on clients with fewer number of files and are non-HAed. Just my 2-cents.

APAR IC29552 has been opened for the problem, and the client has been removed from the Web site and anonymous FTP server. Fixtest 4.1.2.12 will correct the problem, and will be available soon from the Tivoli web page http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/clients.html. The "Tivoli Storage Manager - Open Problems" page, http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/open_problem.html, will contain more information on the fixtest and its utility as it becomes available. BACKGROUND Microsoft Windows allows file names to be created that contain any combination of upper- and lower-case characters, and the file system will maintain the given casing for a file. This is known as "case preserving". However, the casing of a file name by itself does not distinguish one file from another. This is known as "case insensitive". For example, MYFILE.TXT, MyFile.txt, and myfile.TXT are all considered to be the same file. This is as opposed to UNIX, where these would be considered three separate files. In order to facilitate TSM support for case preserving, case insensitive file names, all Windows file backups are stored on the TSM server with the file names converted to upper case. This is done in order for the TSM server to recognize that MYFILE.TXT, myfile.txt, and MyFile.txt all refer to the same file name. The information necessary to restore the files with their correct casing is kept elsewhere in the database. THE PROBLEM A problem in the TSM 4.1.2 client for Windows has recently been discovered that can cause files with certain international characters in their names (such as a 'u' with an umlaut: ü) to be stored incorrectly on the TSM server. That is, the problem characters are not converted to uppercase (i.e. ü is not properly converted to Ü). As a result, incremental backup operations may not handle these files properly. Symptoms are varied, but may include the following: - Backup versions of files with these international characters that were created with a client version prior to 4.1.2 will be expired. Because this will cause the VERDELETED setting of the management class's copygroup to go into effect, older backup versions may be deleted from the server. These versions can no longer be recovered. - The existing files with these characters in their names will be backed up during each incremental backup cycle, regardless of whether the file has changed. Prior versions of the file will be deleted from the TSM server based on the VEREXISTS setting. As a result, the server may have multiple backup copies of the same state of the file, and truly different versions of the file may have been deleted. - The following messages will be displayed during backups, and logged to dsmerror.log: ANS1228E Sending of object failed ANS1304W Active object not found - If a directory name contains one of these characters, files and subdirectories within that directory will also be expired and may not be restorable. WHAT IBM/TIVOLI IS DOING ABOUT THIS Here are the actions that we are taking or have taken to date: 1) We have opened a severity 1 APAR, IC29552, to address this problem. 2) We have removed the TSM 4.1.2 Windows client from the FTP site.

Re: Runaway logon with invalid password
Well Jerry, you've had an interesting week! We're seeing the same problem. Happened with a bunch of Win2K machines after we pushed out the 3.7.2 client (to replace the 3.7.1 client) to about 90 machines. What we think happened is that next time their password expired, instead of getting a good new password generated, the clients flooded our server with the invalid password messages. When several hit at once it took the server down several days in a row because the recovery log filled because there was stuff flooding the activity log too fast. We got a PMR open, but it hasn't happened lately, and I don't think we ever got far enough with Tivoli to figure out what doc is needed for them to pursue it. We can't reproduce it on demand, so I don't know how we would do a trace. And it didn't happen to EVERY client we upgraded, just some of them. Our desktop support people just tracked down the runaway machines and fixed the passwords as necessary to get our server running again.

No they are not the same. As I understand it, TDP take the Onbar commands and translates them into API commands.

I don't know the answer, and I don't speak Solaris. But, look in your dsmerror.log file and see if there is a message with a timestamp that matches when you got the "unknown system error".

Re: URGENT ? ABOUT DB RESTORE
I assume you do not have a functional adsm server and that is why you are restoring the db, so you cannot do a move media or checkin but you don't need to do that. As long as you have a current volume history file, device configuration file and the tape has been inserted in the atl, you can issue the restore db command that Ruddy gave you and adsm will find the proper tape.

Help requested on TSM Admin Position Description
My company is in the process of trying to define roles & responsibilities for our TSM system. Management would like some benchmarks on how other companies staff to support their environment. Along with that, they are wanting to define what functions need to be handled by a "TSM Engineer", which ones should be handled by our Operations Analysts, and which ones should be handled by the Data Center Operators. If anyone would be willing to share how these things are done in your company, that would be a big help. Extra credit for an actual job description. If TSM is only part of your job, please estimate the % that is spent. Our environment is: TSM Server = 3466 C00 running AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 3.7.3.8 Clients = HP-UX (18) WinNT (38) Novell (25) Storage = 150gb of SSA diskpools, 3494 tapelib w/4-3590E1A drives, 19TB active tape storage Thanks!

TSM 4.1 and TDP Notes
We are just about to upgrade our ADSM server to TSM 4.1. That is expected within two weeks. When we go "live" with the TSM 4.1 server, do we need to have our Notes 4.x servers running TDP for Notes immediately? Or can we leave the "Notes Agent" on the Notes servers for a while so we can test our implementation of TDP/Notes and TDP/Domino in our lab, connecting to the production TSM server? Thanks in advance. Tab Trepagnier ADSM Administrator Laitram Corporation
Re: URGENT ? ABOUT DB RESTORE
Steve, you don't need to check in the db tape. Since the tape is in the library, make sure that the devconfig file and the dsmserv.dsk are present in the TSM installed path: and then issue the following command from the OS prompt: dsmserv restore db volumename= devclass= commit= todate... ... You can acces the manual online: http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/pubs/v4pubs/v1_html/aix/guide/anratfrm.htm Part#5, Chapter#21 and see what type of restore do you need, and customize the above command according to your environment and needs.

Re: URGENT ? ABOUT DB RESTORE
The problem isn't the fact that the volume is marked as VAULT, but rather that the library can't find it during the restore operation. Here's what I do: Ensure that the volhist.out and devconfig.out files are in the right place. Edit the devconfig.out file. Notice at the bottom of this file a library inventory. Also notice that the db backup tape in your hand is not listed in this inventory. Further notice that dsmserv restore db does not do an audit library. So all it knows about is the volumes that were in it the last time the devconfig file was written. Take a tape out of the library and replace it with the db backup tape in your hand. Find the entry in the devconfig.out library inventory section and change the number of the tape you just removed to the number of the tape you just put in. Now this file believes the db backup tape is in the library. Open the volhist.out file. Find out the exact date and time of the db backup on the tape you just put in the library. Issue the following command: dsmserv restore db todate=thedate totime=thetime If you have DRM, look in the planfile for the perfect syntax. If you are restoring the TSM server in the server1 directory (remember, there can be multiple instantiations of TSM on a single hardware platform), you need to be in this directory to do the restore. Your syntax changes slightly to reflect this: I'll assume NT. c:>\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\server\dsmserv restore db todate=thedate totime=thetime Another way to do this is to edit the devconfig.out file and create a manual library with one drive in it. Then issue the restore command. This will cause TSM to prompt you to load the tape in the drive. In some libraries, this is easy. In some, not so easy. I like the first method the best. Hope this isn't too late to help. Thanks, Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Re: URGENT ? ABOUT DB RESTORE
I think (I hope) that this should not be a problem. Indeed, first, I thought you needed to restore a db but that your server was still up and running to do the move media and the checkin. Obviously, this is not the case. Anyway, the restore db (a the DOS prompt) is just using the volhist file to know what is the last available Database Backup. I am almost sure that your last database backup, on-site or off-site is declared in the volhist file. run DSMSERV DISPLAY DBVOLUMES to verify if TSM is aware about it. So, using restore db will not take care about the fact that the tape is on-site or off-site but will just send a request to the library to read it. SO, just insert your tape in the library and type : dsmserv restore db todate=xx:xx: totime=xx:xx or, if the tape is unknown in your volhist file: dsmserv restore db volumenames= todate=xx:xx: totime=xx:xx Ruddy -Original Message- From: Steve Hicks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: jeudi 22 février 2001 18:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: URGENT ?

Re: Problem with Scheduled Backup.
The 4.12 Default Domain for an incremental backup includes the SYSTEMOBJECTS domain. This includes your registry, event logs, system files plus other objects. When you are doing a scheduled backup it is also backing up the SYSTEMOBJECTS. From the GUI I assume you were not selecting the "SYSTEM OBJECT". If you don't want to include the SYSTEMOJBECTS as part of your scheduled backups, you can change the DOMAIN statment in dsm.opt to only include the drives you want backed up: Eg. DOMAIN C: D: If you do this, ensure you understand that you are not backing up files like the registry, event logs, NT System Files etc. Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg -Original Message- From: Rajesh Oak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 10:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem with Scheduled Backup.

Ok, now i have my 3583 running, with new policy/management classes. I want to move data to it from the 3570, but only certain nodes. The 3570 STGPOOL is NOT collocated (due to shortage of space/tapes) so a move by volume would not work. In other words, i need this command: move data node='MYNODE' 3583STGP1 But alas it doesn't exist. :( I searched the archives and see other people have also had a use for this command, but did not find a solution.

Hi, does anybody have a recommendation how backup data (SAP R/3) that resides on EMC Symetrix. R/3-Server OS is AIX and TRUE64.? I think the TSM - EMC-timefinder-Interface works only together with Solaris. Which throughput (MB/sec) is realistc if you do backup in the normal way (TDP f. R/3) ? Thanks Winfried

/netscape not being backed up
Hello *SM'ers: First, my client and server versions: NODE V R L SL PLATFORM_NAME -- -- -- -- <> ICOM005 3 1 0 6 SUN SOLARIS ICOM007 3 1 0 3 SUN SOLARIS Session established with server ADSMICOM: AIX-RS/6000 Server Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.50 Server date/time: 02/22/01 08:56:10 Last access: 02/21/01 15:40:32 Operating system is AIX 4.3.2.0 for the server. Operating system is Solaris 2.6 for the clients. Problem: /netscape is not being backed up (nor seen) by the adsm incremental backups on icom005. I do see it on icom007. I don't see any differences between the filesystems. If I do dsmc q fi, I don't see /netscape on icom005. I do see it in the icom007 list. Details: I have the following command being run daily on the Sun clients: /opt/IBMadsm-c/dsmc i >$logfile 2>&1 It will not backup /netscape on icom005, but it will back up all the other active filesystems. When I try the following command: /opt/IBMadsm-c/dsmc i -su=y '/netscape/*' I get the following output: Incremental backup of volume '/netscape/*' ANS4014E Error processing '/netscape/*': unknown system error (140) encountered.

Now, if I go to icom007 (older version of client): I get the expected output of: Incremental backup of volume '/netscape/*' Normal File-->70 /netscape/testfile [Sent] Successful incremental backup of '/netscape/*' I don't have anything except core in the inclexcl.def files on either machine. I am using DiskSuite. All slices are identical to my knowledge. /etc/vfstab looks the same for /netscape as for /var and /opt, for example.

Re: DSMCUTIL
Actually I could have been clearer in my message. I have two OS/390 Servers, one production server running ADSM 3.1 and one test Server running TSM 4.1. I took one of my NT clients that was linked to the ADSM server and pointed it to the TSM server for testing, removed the Central Scheduler Service, installed the new one for TSM 4.1, test and verified and then removed the new Scheduler without any troubles. The backups and restore testing I did was to a completely separate set of TSM databases apart from where I want to get this NT client back to. While trying to get the client back to the point it was at prior to my testing, while loading the Sched Service, I get the error described below. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: TDP for DB2 documentation
DBA's tend to refer to it by both, either db2 of udb. There really is no TDP for DB2, you are just using the API for TSM. I haven't worked with the NT client for a while but I would suggest checking the dsierror.log for error messages. If the DBA's are running their backups by scripts, then they should forward you the output you can see what errors get returned to them. That provides the best information. Try to log on to the db2 client through the command line. When you do a 'q se', it may come up and ask for a password. If it does, that means the dsmapipw is not working correctly. It does not work on the Solaris version. I have experienced the dsmapipw either giving me a core dump or saying password set correctly only to find that it fails when a backup is done. If I set the password manually through command line, I have no problems. Also, within DB2, if you do a 'db2adutl query' command, you can see whether it will work or not. You will get the same response as you would if you ran a backup. The AIX version works successfully. The Solaris version has a few issues with the password and links that I have had to work around but I can get it to work. Due to not working with the NT version anymore, I am not sure of the issues there. Brenda -Original Message- From: Talafous, John G.

TSM-HSM experiences?
Hello, We've been evaluating and trying to implement a HSM service with the TSM-HSM client at our site. We use the 4.1 HSM client for AIX and run the 3.7.2 TSM server (also on AIX). Our experience so far is not very favourable. Compared to our current DMF HSM system TSM is an administrative nightmare, the HSM functionality in particular feels like something someone hacked together for fun and was suddenly turned into a product. So I'm wondering what experiences others have with TSM-HSM, good or bad. I'm particularily interested in how much data is stored, what the usage patterns look like, how things are set up (backups for instance) and how much administration is needed. I know there are issues with dsmreconcile for filesystems with many files. Apart from that there are some bugs (filesystems filling up to the extent that migration is prevented, dsm* commands not following symlinks) some worrying omissions (serious contortions appear to be necessary to get good meta-data backups) and a generally strange and overly-complex design are my main concerns at this point. /Per
3583 Ultrium Tape Library and SAN Data Gateway
Hi *SM-ers! We are trying to install TSM 4.1.2 on Windows Nt SP 6. The Server has a Qlogic card QLA2200F which is attached to SAN Data Gateway Router 2108/R03 scsi connected to a 3583 Ultrium library. Windows NT is able to see the SDG and the library and the drives are detected. We are able to use the single drive with NT Backup. When we try to label or checkin a new tape using TSM Server we have the following error message: 02/20/2001 16:31:06 ANR8300E I/O error on library LB0.1.0.3 (OP=8401C058, CC=314, KEY=05, ASC=3B, ASCQ=0E, SENSE=70.00.05.00.00.00.00.0A.00.00.00.00.3B.0E.E2.00.00- .00., Description=The source slot or drive was empty in an attempt to move a volume). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. 02/20/2001 16:31:06 ANRD mmsscsi.c(10293): Could not move volume from slot 16 to slot 256. 02/20/2001 16:31:06 ANR8841I Remove volume from slot 16 of library LB0.1.0.3 at your convenience. 02/20/2001 16:31:06 ANR8832E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME for volumes in search mode in library LB0.1.0.3 failed. Someone know to solve this problem??? Regards Rosy Specchia

This will occupy a tape drive with appearing in the process list. Unfortunately, I do not know any method to determine, is a session is currently using a tape drive.
