Re: Can't backup MSCS shared disk using schedule
Actually, you should consider using the Exchange Site Services account to run the schedule; we had the same problem, went back to the books (via IBM friend) which reminds you to use the admin account for the db engine - as it sometimes has special rights that either local system lacks or standard SA lacks. Best practices, use an account that is known to and used by dba's to support the db environment (regardless of which db you're using, they all have this "problem" in common).

TDP for Domino
Is there a web client available for TDP for Domino? I have configured the TDP Backup/Archive client on my NT servers for web access and it will be handy if this is available for TDP for Domino. Second question...I am in the process of setting up TDP for Domino on two Domino servers. In a few months, these two servers will be setup with clustering and all the databases will be replicated between the two. Will I have to make any changes to TDP Domino configuration after the clustering is setup? Appreciate all the help.

TDP for Domino
I posted a question back in March about why a customer might not be getting backups of all changed Lotus Domino files using TDP. I finally got an answer from Tivoli. If this is in the TDP documentation, *I* missed it: When running incremental backups of Domino files, the only way that an incremental backup will get all changed .nsf files is if logging is completely turned off. If archival logging is on[1], TDP will only backup .nsf files that have a database ID number that is different than the one it had when the file was last backed up.[2] The only way to do an complete incremental backup of .nsf files is to backup the transaction logs. This behavior would explain the circumstance of those who send posts to this list complaining that Domino is only backing up a few of the many .nsf files that should be backed up. All of the above is not true if you're doing selective backups, BTW. [1] Incremental backups using TDP will not work at all if circular logging (Domino's default state, of course) is turned on. [2] Database ID numbers are reassigned only when the database is manipulated, such as a compaction, or when the Domino server is rebooted. This would explain why the first incremental backup after a reboot 'works'. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: Full DB log file causing TCP/IP Connection Failure
In regards to Neil Poland's response, I've had to do the same thing recently. The only difference is that I did a FULL backup of the database. Also, after I reduced the log back to it's original size, I left the new log volume (in Neil's example - "temprec.log01") out there in case I ever needed it again.

Re: Full DB log file causing TCP/IP Connection Failure
You have to shutdown TSM, and then add additional LOG space. I run an AIX box, so adding space may be different with Win2K. The concept is to run the utility to format an additional LOG file, and then add it to TSM's configuration. Then start TSM. It will allow connections until the additional LOG becomes full. Of course, you will be immediately connecting as an admin client and performing a DB backup as quickly as possible. Depending on how much LOG space you we able to add, you may want to disable sessions as soon as you connect to prevent the LOG becoming full before the DB backup can complete. > I am running TSM 4.1 on Win2K and TSM is refusing all connections.

Re: Full DB log file causing TCP/IP Connection Failure
Mike, Try running "dsmadmc" from server console. If that doesn't allow you to connect to TSM, you can set communication method as SharedMem in dsmserv.opt and dsm.sys, which doesn't use TCP/IP and run dsmserv from server itself. If you able to log in to TSM, you have to first increase log. Hope this will help you.

Re: TDP for SQL Server Setup
Michel Your right - in most cases only one scheduler would be sufficient. One reason for having two schedulers is so that one can be performing a TDP client for SQL backup at the same time as the other is performing a filesystem backup. We use the TDP for SQL client to perform hourly transaction log backups of important databases. Both the nightly filesystem schedule and the TDP backup schedules have a 5 minute startup window. Since each scheduler can only handle one schedule at once, a long running incremental backup ( > 1 hour) would cause the transaction log backup to be missed. Another advantage of two schedulers is the ability to have separate scheduler log files for the two sorts of activity. We use verbose logging of the incremental backups which means other activity can become lost in the log.

Server: AIX v3.7.3.8 Client: v4.1.2.12 The MSCS client is unable to backup his shared disks using the schedule (he can back them up manually). It seems that when he starts up the schedule service the nodename and password are being deleted from the registry.

When you check the registry the node and password are deleted although they were there before attempting to start the service. It shows up on the client as both an authorization and a TCPIP problem. When he first installed the client and the schedule services his client was experiencing connectivity problems due to a new routing configuration. As he couldn't install the clients without connectivity to the server, he decided to use the dsmcutil to create the schedules and the services.

He then re-booted and re-installed everything, but the results were the same.
Re: AIX TSM DB ON NT?
Nope, this is not possible. You cannot move a db from one platform type to another.

While I understand the reasons for separating meta objects and data objects, and storing the meta data on disk-only storage pools, we chose not to.

The SQL Server backups are performed by TSM schedules where ACTION=COMMAND and the filesystem backups are performed by TSM schedules where ACTION=INCREMENTAL. These schedules are handled by the two different services and allows the different schedules to be actioned concurrently.

Re: Database defragmentation (was Expiration)
Hi Mavis, defining "old" is not so simple. Let me give you some example where you DB can be considered as "old" or "fragmented" - you server was born in ADSM 3.1 and you upgraded to 4.1.3 after following all the latest patches / ptf 3.1.2.90... 3.7.2 3.7.4 ... ==> then you need to unload/load you DB - some years ago you defined an archiving policy and start storing archive files in you TSM box (or ADSM box). One day, your boss told you to separate your backup and archive into 2 tsm servers. So you did and moves all your archives files onto your second server. ==> here again you need to unload/load your DB - at the begginig, ADSM was running on a nice E20 with fast 4.5 GB hdd. By the years, you added disk for DB / STG and your system has plenty of different disks, small, huge, slow, fast... You decided to move onto a new H80 or pSeries server with a SAN storage or SSA disk unit. ==> One again, you will have better perf if you unload/load you DB. Generally speaking, on my customers' "big" tsm sites, I do this once a year if the production can be stopped. It *really* depends on how long you can stop your backup services and how much resources (CPU, disks, tapes) you have. Last point, says your DB is accros 2 big 9 Gig volumes, but only 51% filled. You want to change 2*9 gig by 4*4.5 gig for better perf. if tsm can not move you data (or remove a 9 gig vol), you can try to unload/load the db and it will be much easier for tsm to remove the big vols after the unload/load operations. Very last point. Daily, I log to an external DB (mysql), some stats about DB/LOG comsuption, node occupancy and schedule stats. It allows me to have an historic graph of some KEY values in tsm such as DB/LOG % and node occupancy. several months after the Y2K big jump, my DB lost 20 % (9 gig). This was a good occasion to degrad it.

Re: TSM cold backups
Recently we had to move an environment from Chicago to Naperville. The move was also an equipment upgrade so all that would be moved was the tsm image (and then later the tapes & atl) Anyway we toyed with shutting down tsm and then ftp'ing the db & log files over to the new box but that wasn't an option due to time... what we ended up doing was using TSM's "backup db" to a disk file, we then ftp'ed that file to the other server, did a "restore db commit=no" (we had tested and adjusted our time schedule where the 1'st restore completed just before when we wanted to take down the prod environment to move) So then we disabled client sessions and a little bit of other misc activity, took an incremental tsm db backup, ftp'ed that over, and performed a "reatore db commit=yes". >From actual outage on the box in Chicago until we were up and running in Naperville was less time than it took DSN services to update the node's entry with its new IP address. So here, any sort of voodoo remote copy (if it would have been any faster) would have just had us sitting with with nothing to do even longer than we already were, waiting on everything else... (Oh, that was a 24 GB tsm DB) AND this worked, correctly, the first time ! What did I set out to say here ? ? ?

Restoring DB without LOGs
Hi, we've got a serious problem. We are doing online backups with our DB2 Databases. The LOGs should have been backed also (seperate mechanism). However they haven't and the machine has got a serious hdd failure. We have only the online Backup and - of course - DB2 refuses to use the backup without the LOGs. Actually we wouldn't have a problem with loosing the last transactions (we can retransmit them even for days, weeks or month) That boils it down to the question if it is possible to "force" DB2 to "don't worry about the problems, which might occur". Any chances? We use UDB V6. Thanks and regards, Andreas Walter BBDO Interactive GmbH Germany

? BUFPOOLSIZE limit under TSM4.1 / NT
hallo, I have purchased upgrade from TSM Server 3.1.7 under NT 4 to newest TSM server version. There is limitation of BufPoolSize to max. 65536 in my current system. I hope this limit is much larger with TSM 4.x - I would like to purchase some RAM an speed up my system. Can anyone tell me how large the limit is, if any? Another question: are there any late server versions I should avoid because of known problems?

Re: SQL for Amount Backed up Daily:
On the site www.coderelief.com I published a select statement I use to followup the amount of data backuped up every night. You can take a look. If you have any comments feel free to mail me. Michel Engels
Database defragmentation (was Expiration)
OK, I'm curious. How do you define 'old' ? How often do you need to defrag the ADSM database (or is this like 'how long is a piece of string'). How can you tell it needs defragging ?

Re: SQL for Amount Backed up Daily:
Bill,
I use the following SQL commando to display a nodes backup amount for the last
(and in our case longest possible) backup window.
select substr(entity, 1, 16) as "Node", sum(bytes) #Bytes, sum(examined) -
#Examined from adsm.summary -
where (upper(activity)='BACKUP' and upper(substr(entity,1,12)) like upper('$1'))
and -
(date(end_time) = current_date - 1 days and time(end_time) >='19.00.00' -
or (date(end_time)=current_date and time(end_time)<='18.00.00')) group by entity
I run this as a TSM macro, the $1 is the node you want to query, if you want to
query all nodes replace the $1 with a % (procent sign).
regards Walter Ridderhof.
