Strange behavior on Novell restore
ADSM Novell client 3.1.08 ADSM Aix Server 3.1.2.40 While trying to attempt a restore of a Netware 4.11 box, I came across an error that is not letting me restore one file. When I run the restore one time it says 1 file restore but the file size is 0. Try the restore again and it fails with the following error: "ANS4014E Error processing 'file name': unknow system error (150) encountered. Program ending". The only thing strange about the file name is it starts with an underscore, but there are 2 other files named similarily and they restored fine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jeff
Re: TDP for domino: filling archive logs disk.
Hello, In a normal situation, once you archive the Domino R5 logs successfully, the log files will be "resused" when necessary. There normally should be no need to manually delete the already archived log files. Now, having said that, I will mention two things: 1. The Domino R5 server will actually leave the archived log file around, with the old name until it needs a new log extent. At that point, it will look at its list of "already archived" log files, pick one, rename the file to the next logical sequence number, and start using it. It does it this way to save "formatting" time. Now, that is how it *normally* works... 2. There is a known Domino R5 bug that in some situations, those log extents will not be reused. Lotus has a fix for that problem. The fix is in Domino R5 server, version 5.07. You can get the fix from here: http://notes.net/ Thanks, Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] R Marcos [EMAIL PROTECTED]@VM.MARIST.EDU on 03/31/2001 07:07:01 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: TDP for domino: filling archive logs disk. I've a doubt: If you've implemented archive log mode for your transaction logs for domino 5, using tdp to archive it, you know, you'll aware to archive the txn files frequently. If not, the txn old files are not signed like archived files and not removed. I mean, if you've problems in your network, with tsm system or something else... and txn files are not archived for a few days, you have the risk of become your disk full. Nevertheless you archive the files again, they'll remain in your disk unless you remove them manually. I think this is not a very fine way to do that. I'm looking for a transparent way to do that. Has anybody been anytime in a chance like that? Thanks everybody. ___ Do You Yahoo!? Envma mensajes instantaneos y recibe alertas de correo con Yahoo! Messenger - http://messenger.yahoo.es
Re: Backup errors
The "Stale NFS Handle" errors, we have had here. Notice that the "/" filesystem did not backup. Most likely cause is that you had NFS mounted a CDROM from another sever to install some S/W. The server with the CD was rebooted and the CD Filesystem was not set to mount aotumatically at reboot. So the local system has a problem with the mount. This could also be caused by a disk filesystem NFS mount. Do a "df" with appropiate options for your versuion of UNIX and most likely it will show you what FS has the problem - it will hang at the problem mount point on AIX system. David B.

Re: Windws NT Terminal Server full backup after time change
Kevin Just a thought: Are you sure that all the TSM processes were stopped during the installation of the patch? I've had problems in the past where I inadvertently had TSM processes running during the 3.7 client setup. Although the setup completed without errors, some of the files were not updated, even though I rebooted the system. Check the timestamps on the files *DSM*.DLL and *DSM*.EXE in the TSM client installation directory (BACLIENT). If the installation is consistent, these should all have the same date. If not then stop all TSM processes and repeat the TSM client installation. Neil The information in this e-mail is confidential and may also be legally privileged.

Re: NT Client - Out of Memory
Ok, Looks good, some remarks, TCPWindowsize set to 63 under NT does not enhance perf. NT is not RFC1323 compliant (that why you can not set it to 64) and works better if this param is set to 48. Of course, your TSM server is correctly set to handle these config. setting TNXBYTElimit to 2GB seems to me a little hazardous. It seems that you accepts sending up to 2GB of data before TSM commit the single transaction ? Humm... dangerous.

Re: ans4026w exceed max file size
With AIX the file system that you are restoring to should have been
configured as 'Large File Enabled JFS'. If it was not, the default is a max
file size of 2GB. If the file system has been set up and configured as a
'Large File Enabled' JFS then check the ulimits for the user that the file
is being restored for 'ulimits -a {u-id}'.
Hope this helps

Add CPU or Increase RAM???
Hi All - I have the opportunity to upgrade my TSM Server. Current: 1 CPU 233mhz 512MB RAM We are considering one of two situations: OPTION 1: Replace CPU with (2) 450mhz Replace 512MB RAM with 1.5 GB RAM OPTION 2: Replace CPU with (4) 450mhz Replace 512MB RAM with 1 GB RAM Basically what I am asking is, Does TSM better utilize additional RAM or additional Processors? Thanks... Marc Levitan
Re: Add CPU or Increase RAM???
I'm told that going with more than two CPUs may or may not help with performance. My experience has shown that more than a GB of memory is overkill. Unless someone suggests otherwise, I'd probably go with two processors and double the memory. I'd even be tempted to leave the memory where it is and see how it goes. Unless you can't go to the money well more than once. Then get four processors and up the memory to 1 GB. I assume that your system won't take a higher speed processor. That would probably be an even better option. What about replacing the entire system? Stuff is cheaper now than it's been in years. With automatic buffpoolsize adjustment, what is the maximum amount of memory TSM will use? The max used to be 131072. Is that still true? Thanks, Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Re: Add CPU or Increase RAM???
Marc, "Basically what I am asking is, Does TSM better utilize additional RAM or additional Processors?" Yes. You didn't mention what OS you're running on. What I've seen with my undersized AIX TSM server is this: - a certain amount of CPU horsepower is essential. All TSM activities involve database reads, processing, and writes of updates, as well as management of the recovery log. We went from one 166 MHz CPU to two 332 MHz CPUs and are very glad we did. - TSM is extremely disk intensive. Disk pool volumes, database volumes, log volumes, and on and on. AIX does memory-mapped disk I/O, that is, a page of memory is mapped directly to a page of disk file. Windows NT has the same capability, though I don't know if TSM/NT uses that. In either event, having inadequate memory means that either a) if your system is properly tuned, you will spend significant amount of time remapping memory pages from file to file; or b) if you system is not properly tuned, you will experience the same behavior but with paging to/from disk added to the mix. If you are running AIX, use the VMSTAT command to test memory remapping while the system is busy. If you are running NT, use PerfMon and monitor Memory / Pages per Second. Note that others in the forum have stated that TSM will not use more than 1.5 GB RAM. Some high-end machines will take a lot more than that.

Re: Export Node Mount Waits
Hi James, If I understand well, every week, you backup 160 GB of data to new tapes that are taken offsite ? Have you tried to use backup STG. This command only put offsite the new files. Say you have 1% of new files, you only have to offsite some GB and not some hundred GBs. You do not need to purchase DRM to do this, there are plenty of scripts that can helps you. On your backup site, do you have a TSM server w/ a 3575 lib ? If yes, that's is the solution, you only move "week" data. Else, sometime, you will need to reclaim your offsite tapes and regenerates a full set of unfragmented-copy-tapes. I did this for a 8 TB site and only a few tapes (and DLT) are moved offsite every day.

Reclaiming TDP for Oracle
Hi, I have TDP for Oracle running into a storage pool, and it has a heap of tapes and is rather slow at giving them back. Can I reclaim tapes from ths pool without stuffing upthe Oracle bit ?

Behaviour during reclaim
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why this is happening: I have a reclaim running, no other processes, no client sessions. Collocation is off. The reclaim is moving data from volume A to volume B, there is another volume C in the same stgpool with FILLING status, and volume D is scratch, unassigned. When B reaches end-of-volume, I would expect it continue by mounting C - but no, it takes the scratch tape, defines it in that stgpool and uses it - even though there would have been more than enough space on C to have taken all the data. Is there some reason why it does this? I would prefer it to leave the scratch volume alone so that it would be available to whatever stgpool might need it in the next 24 hours.
