Re: Archive problems with TSM version 4
Hi Dave , please can you send me your PMR number - I already opened PMR 60453 , 668 , 668 ( 668 = Czech republic ) and I received one additional contact ( the same problem ) offline. I downgrade problematic TSM servers to 4.1.1 and archives ran OK - but I falled to some problems solved by 4.1.2 again.

Re: Expiration
Is this a one time problem or has been happening awhile? Are other processes or sessions going on at same time? Do a q log and see if it is ful or near full. Do you have archive data or just backups? I have seen occaisional times when expiration seems to go slow at some points, especially if deleting a lot of objects and other things happening at same time. I see you have 1 physical volune where I have it spread over 24. That may be part of difference. Look at iostat and see about disk usage. You may have high I/O wait. My cache hit % is 98-99%.

Re: HSM Migration Processes
There is a new parameter in the 4.1.2 HSM client for AIX 4.3 which allows you to define how many processes are used for HSM migration. The parameter name is MAXMIGRATORS. From the IP22148.README.HSM.JFS.AIX43 file: o dsmautomig Starting with this release, dsmautomig starts parallel sessions to the TSM server that allows to migrate more than one file at a time. The number of parallel migration sessions is recognized by the dsmautomig process specific option that can be configured in the dsm.sys file: - MAXMIGRATORS number poff parallel migration sessions (default = 1, min = 1, max = 20) Make sure that sufficient resources are availabale on the TSM server for parallel migration. Avoid to set the MAXMIGRATORS option higher than number of sessions on the TSM server can be used for storing data. -- Mary Stephenson Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Academic Computing Network Services Florida State University Don Avart wrote: Our TSM server (RS6000 S7A) is attached to an STK silo with 22 tape drives.

Some time ago I posted to this list a question about how to find out if my old management classes are still managing any client data. A couple of you responded suggesting this select statement: select * from archives where class_name='classname' and the same for backups. I ran this on several management classes and got "no match found for this query". Thinking that meant there was no data found governed by that management class, I deleted it and got the expected message about any data will be rebound to the default management class. I did not expect any data to be rebound. Turns out, I deleted some active management classes by mistake because I thought they weren't being used. Can anyone tell me why my select statement didn't work as expected? /gina
Re: HSM Migration Processes
You need to update the storage pool for more parallel migration processes. Look at this below: -UPDate STGpool---pool_name--- -+--+-- '-DESCription--=--description--' -+-+--- '-ACCess--=--+-READWrite---+--' +-READOnly+ '-UNAVailable-' -++ '-MAXSIze--=--+-maximum_file_size-+--' '-NOLimit---' -++---+--+- '-NEXTstgpool--=--pool_name--' '-HIghmig--=--percent--' -+-+---++-- '-LOwmig--=--percent--' '-CAChe--=--+-Yes-+--' '-No--' -++---++--- '-MIGPRocess--=--number--' '-MIGDelay--=--days--' -+--+- '-MIGContinue--=--+-No--+--' '-Yes-' MIGPRocess Specifies the number of processes that are used for migrating files from this storage pool. This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 1 to 999. During migration, these processes are performed in parallel to provide the potential for improved migration rates. I believe the migration process will default to 1 for a storage pool if you do not force it to a higher number.

The problem that we are experiencing, beyond library and drive reliability, is with the apparent migration and recall process. Because we have many tape drives, we have dedicated 8 drives to HSM only. We have two HSM enabled filesystems, /hsmprod and /hsmuser which are local to the TSM server. The filesystem of most concern is /hsmprod (production). This filesystem is 200GB and has 90GB written to it nightly. The problem we are encountering is if we miss a backup or two the filesystem is full. The backup process is relatively fast, we write to disk and to multiple tape drives. However, the migration process is extremely slow. It appears that this process will only mount one tape drive for migration. Yet when users try to recall data, it will mount multiple tapes and spawn up to 20 recall processes (as per maxrecalldaemons=20). Are there any settings to increase the number of sessions or daemons the migration process will spawn. Thanks in Advance Don Avart __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Roll Forward Mode
Hi Geoff, You can increase BUFPOOLSIZE only if it take REAL memory, not swap. use the SVMON -P pid to check how much RAM TSM is really using. Before turning TSM into roll forward, reset your LOG MAX % UTIL and wait for a day or two to check the max % used. (adsm help reset log) 2 Gig seems to be good for a 9 gig DB. Adjust your DB backup trigger (q stat) to something like 70 or 80% and test is for several days. rv -Message d'origine- De : Gill, Geoffrey L.

Re: Please Help Explain Activity Log..
The ANR0534W is most likely because the file that was going to be backed up was too big to fit in the DISKPOOL and the server parameters for node and server didn't allow going directly to tape. The RC=4 was most likely due to this failure but to make sure look at the dsmsched.log on client node and you will see name of the fle that failed and size and the reason for RC=4. David B.

CLEAN ARCHDIR command
I've spoken to Tivoli about this, but I still don't have all the info... My TSM DB is filled with archive directory garbage from our main CAD server. Before the introduction of the ARCHSYML switch, the ADSM client followed circular links to create entries such as: /dir1/file1 /dir1/dir2/dir1/file1 /dir1/dir2/dir1/dir2/dir1/file1 and so forth. When I tried to do an archive delete operation on the client, the TSM server download 1.2 GB (!) of "list" information before the session hung and then could not be killed. I had to halt TSM and bounce the server. Tivoli Tech Support suggested I run the CLEAN ARCHDIR command to fix that situation. But, the syntax of the command in TSM 4.1 is very different from the syntax in ADSM 3.1.2.90 where it was introduced. I now have the syntax for TSM 4.1, but I don't have any info on the command itself, nor on the context of the action switches. Specifically, if I run CLEAN ARCHDIR DELETEDIRS - what exactly happens to my existing two years of CAD file archives? - what happens when I try to retrieve an existing archived file? - what happens when the next archive job is run on that server? and so forth. Thanks in advance. Tab Trepagnier TSM Administrator Laitram Corporation
Re: Roll Forward Mode
Yes, it does no harm to switch to ROLLFORWARD mode in mid-stream, it just works. It does fire an extra DB backup; or maybe that's when you switch BACK from ROLLFORWARD to NORMAL, I forget. The amount of log space you need depends on the amount of activity rather than the DB size, so it's hard to say whether 2 GB is enough log space or not. You should be OK if you have a trigger set, just keep an eye on the log utilization for a few days. -Original Message- From: Gill, Geoffrey L.

Re: Roll Forward Mode
You can reset the cumulative consumption field in the q logvol f=d display. Then run your server normally for 24 hours and check the consumption. This will give you a good idea how much recover log you might use in a 24 hour period (the period between scheduled db backups). The command to reset is reset logconsumption Kelly J.

Re: tivoli decision for sma
Joseph Dawes wrote: is anyone using this currrently? and if you are are you happy with it?( tivoli decision support) I've installed it for customers, and have tested it in a small lab environment. It basically does what it's advertised to do. The IBM redbook SG246109 (Tivoli Storage Management Reporting) gives a nice overview of TDS's capabilities. My beef with TDS is that the install is badly broken. It (usually) requires Microsoft's ActiveX Control Pad to be installed (and which you must locate, download, and install), and, depending upon when you downloaded and installed NT's service pack 6a, you may or may not have DLL files of sufficiently recent version to make TDS run. It was a nightmare to install about this time last year, and it's not much better now. Good luck. Post any problems you have here, or to me off-line. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: 3590 and Fiber Channel Switching ??
AIX is your problem. EMC support for 3590s on connectrix is on Sun (with VERY specific hardware). The ed5000s do not support fc-al so with FC tape devices that do not support fabric login, you're outta luck. The REAL question is: why are you using connectrix? If it's because you have EMC arrays, you'll have to wait because the drivers for EMC on AIX are way behind for support of any kind of tape attachment. You'll have much better luck if you are using say a Emulex 7000 with the Emulex drivers. If you're stuck with connectrix (as we are), don't hold your breath for cascading brocade support (so you can attach those AL drives). We've taken a slightly different approach: we fibre attach legacy drives via a bridge but make sure our TSM server does not attach to any EMC disks. We are not so lucky for our very large clients that have to have local TSM instances. In that case, they are attached to EMC. But luckily, we are hosting on Sun. So, in the end, I agree with Kelly - watch that first step because your net does not exist. Decide what you want and then test until you're blue, realizing that tape+AIX+connectrix may not have EMC's blessing for a while (at least with the EMC drivers). David "Kelly J.

License counts for TSM 4.1 ?
A while back someone posted a section of the 4.1 server README file (see below). Says that TSM 4.1 doesn't count license as "in use" if the client has been inactive for 30+days. Does that mean you only need to pay for enough licenses to cover the "in use" count now? $$1 License counting changes for "in use" * With this service level the following changes to in use license counting are introduced. - License Expiration. A license feature that has not been used for more than 30 day will be expired from the in use license count. This will not change the registered licenses, only the count of the in use licenses. Libraries in use will not be expired, only client license features. - License actuals update. The number of licenses in use will now be updated when the client session ends. An audit license is no longer required for the number of in use licenses to get updated.

Re: 3.7 to 4.1 and the license issue
Alas, "it depends". What I was told is: If your licenses were under a maintenance agreement at the time 4.1, came out, you may be entitled to the upgrade for free - depends on the contract. If not, the deadline for a price break on upgrading to 4.1 was Dec. 31, 2000.

Re: Roll Forward Mode
Geoffrey, Switching to roll-forward mode can be done at any time. As Wanda said, it kicks off a full database backup to allow it to zero the log at a known point. Once in roll-forward mode, database changes will accumlate in the recovery log until the next DB backup so log consumption will go up greatly. From your statistics I see that your log is 2000 MB: Log: Available Space (MB): 2,000 Assigned Capacity (MB): 2,000 Maximum Extension (MB): 0 Maximum Reduction (MB): 1,996 Page Size (bytes): 4,096 Total Usable Pages: 511,488 Used Pages: 279 Pct Util: 0.1 Max. Pct Util: 89.3 --- How?? I'm curious about one thing though. When in "normal" mode, log consumption rarely should exceed about 1%. Yet your statistics show a max utilization of 89.3%. How did you do that in NORMAL mode? I operate in roll-forward mode all the time, and the max consumption on my log is about 60%. Thanks. Tab Trepagnier TSM Administrator Laitram Corporation

3570 and C-XL tapes
Hello. We have an IBM Magstar 3570 model C11, to which we've added another drive, which I guess makes it a C12. Can we use the C-XL tapes in this library? The IBM web site http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/tape/3570/3570md_c.html says so, but it also says all model C libraries have barcode readers. Since ours doesn't, it makes me a little suspicious that we may have an older model which may not support the long tapes. Thanks, Joseph -- Joseph Thvedt DBA/Unix administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: LAN Free Backup to Diskpool
Hi William, Tivoli doesn't allow to use diskpools for LAN free backup. At least this feature is not available in 4.1 version. The Tivoli implementation of SAN allows to share tape devices. Backup data directly moves from Tivoli storage agent to tape and metadata is stored in server through LAN. If you want to use Diskpool then backup data has to go through LAN. May be you have to design different LAN segment for passing backup data over LAN. This will backup operations will not interfere normal network operations. This will help you achieve LAN Free backup + use disk pools on server.

Re: Tape Library errors
As has been pointed out, you left out information which would have made this error make sense. Your host thinks there is a tape in the drive. There may or may not be a tape in the drive. If a tape had been in the drive and was removed, you will need to audit your library to clear this error. If a tape IS in the drive, remove it, put it in an unused slot, inventory the library and then audit the library.

Archive query question
Hey, I would like to query my ADSM server for all objects that are bound to one of my archive copy groups. Is there a command / sql statement I can use to get that kind of output ? (ie. Give me a list of all files that have been archived against archive copygroup PRODUCTION. I would like the path to each file to be a part of the output as well). I did a query archive from the client, but that did not give me a MC like show version does. Thanks, Aubrey Truex FedEx Services
Re: 3590E1A Vs LTO
Dave, Although I hear that the 3590's are the "Cadillac" of the tape world, the LTO is supposed to be a close second. I've seen restore speeds of UP TO around 25 GB/hr on AIX directories that contain larger files. On NT directories that contain many small files, the performance drops dramatically! It still beats DLT, but NT apparently can't handle streaming data as well as AIX. That's where the 3590 is supposed to be the king - when it has to stop start while NT catches up. We're running a dual-proc 1GB-RAM H80 (AIX 4.3.3) w/ TSM 4.3.2 for our server. Clients are 13 AIX and 130 NT boxes, all with the "4.something" client version. We have a 3584 library with 5 LTO (Ultrium) drives (and we're looking at adding at least two more drives very soon). The TSM server connects to the LTO library via McData ED-5000 SAN director 2108 gateways. Our disk pools are on both local SSA disk and a shark. My personal opinion is to use ONE TYPE of tape for both onsite and offsite backups. Since TSM will handle this, why not let it do the work? Have a script kickoff a copy job after all your backups have finished. Then send one copy of your tapes offsite.

Re: Roll Forward Mode
I've had a log max out at 5GB in normal - due to one very slow running client (love those duplex mismatches!). The client backup ran almost all day, and we were doing some Delete Filespaces, which hit the log/db pretty hard. Since the log is flushed FIFO (see note), and the client session hadn't released the DB updates as it was still running, all the updates from the Delete Filespaces pooled up in the log. I canceled the client session - viola, the log went back to 0.1% utilized. Note: The log flush to DB is done FIFO to keep the order of transactions in place. This can be important, since copying and updating a record in reverse order can cause the data to become inaccurate (read corrupt). If I copy a record, then update the original, the copy and original are now different. However, if I push the update action before the copy, they are the same, in the updated state. Obviously a very bad thing if you like data integrity. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 3590E1A Vs LTO
My personal opinion is to use ONE TYPE of tape for both onsite and offsite backups. A minor variation on that theme: We're one of those shops with a lot of 3590J tapes which preceded our drive upgrades. We plan to use 3590K tapes in the 3494, to maximize capacity, while relegating the old J's to external and offsite duties. Richard Sims, BU
