NDS on WIN2000
Hy all, we have installed a NDS 8 on a WIN2000 Machine. Does anybody has experience in backing up such a system (in a consistant manner). Thanks for help Christoph
Backing up Windows Terminal Server
This is more a research question than anything else. I'm looking to install the Tivoli Backup Archive Client software on Windows Terminal Server 4.0 SP6 and just wondered if there is anything I should know. As in DON'T, it doesn't work, I don't think I'll get an answer back like that. I'm just trying to be proactive and find out about potential problems. Cheers All Malcolm Gibb

deleted it from the server.

Hello!
Whith server-level 3.7 and earlier, if a client-scheduler was scheduled to
do something whithin its queryschedperiod, and the schedule on the server
in the meantime was changed to run at a later time, the client scheduler
would report a ANS1814E and rescheduled itself.
I just upgraded to 4.1.3, and in this case, the client runs the original
scheduled task, just as if nothing was changed at the server.
Is this another case of buffers not cleared/updated on the server?
Anyone else seen this behaviour?

I.e having to restore backups from the ADSMConnect backup levels with the TDP clients, co-existence matters, install preservation, etc..

Re: replace hard disk
Disk2 is mounted as /u01 and contains the TSM db and log. disk3 is mounted as /u02 and contains dbcopy and logcopy of what are on disk1. Disk3 is mounted as /u03 and acts as a storage pool. The drive having problem is disk2. What is the procedure of replacing the drive? Can I assume that by shutting down TSM, umounting /u01, replacing the drive, creating logic volume and fite system, mounting /u01, and starting TSM, the TSM server will automatically regenerate what were on /u01 using dbcopy and logcopy on /u02? Jie Given that you're using TSM mirroring and hot-swap disk, you should not have to shut down your server to recover. See the Admin Guide, chapter 21 topic Restoring Your Server Using Mirrored Volumes - which is actually mistitled, as it's for recovering from the failure of a mirrored volume while the server continues running. That is, a failure of a mirrored volume will likely cause the mirror to break, meaning that you'll be running with a single image. You prep a replacement volume and then Vary it online to resume mirrored operation. Richard Sims, BU
Re: AIX Question
How do you redirect error report resource names to a shell script. I have a shell script that will send emails on resource names from the errpt but I don't know how to pass those resource names to the shell script. Richard - I'm not completely clear on what you're after, but you can surely do something like 'errpt -a | awk ...' to process the current contents of the AIX Error Log. Access can be a lot more sophisticated as well: I have a sample C program which illustrates how to directly report from the Error Log, which I needed to figure out for a component for an AIX system monitoring facility I wrote. If interested, email me directly and I'll send you a copy. Richard Sims, BU

Tivoli support (especially, the Japanese end) are no help whatsoever.

Recents failures, where the NT server product failed as soon as you run it under Japanese, German etc.. bears testiment to the fact, Tivoli aren't even testing their products under different languages. IBM/Tivoli fully understands the need for a global perspective, as we are a global company doing business all over the world. Please do not equate language support issues with have no concept that people do business in multiple languages. This is just not true. Agreed, the recent problems we have had with non-English character sets do not instill the greatest confidence in our NLS support. However, we do in fact have a large number of resources dedicated to NLS support, translation, and testing, and we are continuously working to improve our processes to (among other things) eliminate the kinds of problems you mention. Yes, we have stumbled in this arena, especially recently, but we have also made every effort to respond to the problems in as timely a fashion as possible, because we *do* understand the need for this support. Regarding support for file names comprised of characters from different character sets (i.e. Japanese file names on English systems), this is a long-standing requirement. It isn't here yet because we are ignoring it; rather, the implementation is not trivial. But it is something that we are actively working on and hope to deliver this year.

I'm out of the office today, but will try to check into the details when I'm back in the office. Could you please send either the list, or me, info on what you find? I'll send you anything I find. (My first thought would be to see if running the backups from an external scheduler does. I wonder if the resident/paging size of dsmc sched increases over time.)

Having setup a cron job on AIX that logs paging every 5 minutes, I determined that essentially the only time paging space increases is when backups are running. We reboot to clear problem. Details: TSM Server is 3.7.4.0 on AIX 4.3.3 Client is: IBM RS/6000 Silver SP node w 2x 332 MHz processors and 1GB RAM and 1GB paging space. (Node is standalone and not fenced.) AIX 4.3.3. Maint Level 7 Sybase ASE 12.0.0.1 (Using raw logical volumes for db - vendor insisted on this) SQL Backtrack 4.5.00 with OBSI module 2.5.00 TSM Client 4.1.2.0 The paging space will jump up about 4 -8 % per day. I do SQLBT backup of database at 12:15 am and regular FS incremental at 2:15 am. Paging space incresases when each backup starts and does not go down. I saw info on Tivoli site that TSM client 4.1.0.0 (which I was using) had memory leak problems on NT and possibly other platforms, so I downloaded what I saw as latest AIX version, 4.1.2.0 and installed - no change. I have 4.1.0.0 on other AIX and NT boxes with no problems. We had ML 6 of AIX on and was happening with it too, upgraded to ML 7 for other reasons and no change. This is a new install, users not on system yet, Database is getting info from another system and apps are being developed to generate reports from this DB. Last night I disabled both backups and NO PAGING SPACE increase occured. One other bit of info (maybe confusing). Using the svmon command, it seems to indicate that Sybase is the user of the growing paging space! Any ideas folks? It is not obvious to me how a regular FS incremental can cause Sybase to use additional paging space. If no one has a solution I will open a ticket with Tivioli to start with and then proceed down the line one vendor at a time. Thanks for your head scratching, David B.

Preschedulecmd on NT question
We are preparing to use preschedulecmd and post on Windows NT 4.0 clients with TSM 4.1 client. The manual states this about the command string: If the command string contains blanks, enclose it in double quotes. If you placed double quotes within the command string, use single quotes to enclose them. So does that mean if my command that I waould use on system without Tivoli is: net stop App Service Then would the Tivoli equivalent be like this: preschedulecmd net stop 'App Service' with the single quotes outside each end of double quotes around App Service?

TSM and SANergy
Some SAN question(s) for the Guru's :) Mark has a TSM server (Server A) attached via SAN to a SHARK where the storage pool resides. Server B resides on the same network and is attached to the same SHARK unit. Using SANergy, When Server A goes to backup Server B will the file be sent over the network to get to the storage pool? If not does the data just get copied from disk to disk inside the SHARK? If so, which piece of software is responsible for that? Can 2 Shark Systems be set up, one dedicated to the TSM server and the other for primary server storage, be connected directly to each other and have the data copied from one to the other without disturbing regular SAN traffic?

Re: Do backup and restore interfere?
One of my drives got corrupted and had to be formated. I started the restore of all files using the GUI to refill the then empty drive. What I didn't think of was that 1 hour later the scheduled backup kicked in. Now the question is: Does *SM first collect all required files and then start the restore? Or would the backup of the (nearly) empty drive - resulting in all files getting inactivated - influence the restore? I want to be sure that the drive is restored completely! Any answer is greately appreciated! ^^ Excellent... I don't have to worry about it being viable! ;-) The answer, like so many, is: it depends. See the client manual, under Restore Using Commands, subsection No Query Restore, which outlines how restorals proceed. Depending on your options, the server may be compiling and maintaining the list of files to be restored; or the client may have gotten the whole list and be massaging it. Richard Sims, BU
Windows 2000 Bare Metal Recovery and System Object restore problem
Our NT admins requested that we build one server(HCB1) from another servers backups(SYR1). The servers are Windows 2000 Advanced Server running service pack one with identical hardware. Our TSM server is V4.1.2 on AIX 4.3 and the Windows Client is 4.1.2.14. We used the TSM B/A CLI with the virtualnodename option to succesfully restore the SYR1 servers C: drive to the HCB1 server. We then attempted to restore the system objects but could not access them from the CLI or the GUI. We got into TSM GUI on the original server, SYR1, and where able to see the subfolders under system objects. Under HCB1 using virualnodename SYR1 we cannot see the system object subfolders. We checked the gray box and attempted the restore but received zero objects inspected or backed up. We contacted TSM support who informed me that Bare Metal Restore and associated Redbooks are not supported. However, after the level one person spoke to level two, they informed me that you could recover a Windows 2000 server from the ground up if the target system for the restore is the same local machine name as the original server. This is due to the fact that the Windows 2000 System Objects are stored using the local machine name in TSM and can't be restored to a new location like a drive file space can. Has anyone else attempted what we tried or does anyone have any comments? We have been able to restore a server and it's registry to another server with a new name under Windows NT 4.0, using a temporary copy of NT installed to a folder called Wintemp, then coming up under the original name after restore/re-boot using the normal WINNT folder. It looks like this is not possible with Windows 2000 and TSM due to the way TSM stores the system object backups. Comments? Jeff Connor Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.

Re: Windows 2000 Bare Metal Recovery and System Object restore pr oblem
We ran into the same thing. We use to have a procedure to restore a downed user workstation where we just take a spare disk and restore everything to it, then copy the registry from the adsm.sys directory tree. No more with Win2k. We spoke to support and they said the same thing. Bare metal restore is not supported. They did say you can restore the data, and the registry. The registry only if the computer name is the same.

The servers are Windows 2000 Advanced Server running service pack one with identical hardware. Our TSM server is V4.1.2 on AIX 4.3 and the Windows Client is 4.1.2.14. We used the TSM B/A CLI with the virtualnodename option to succesfully restore the SYR1 servers C: drive to the HCB1 server. We then attempted to restore the system objects but could not access them from the CLI or the GUI. We got into TSM GUI on the original server, SYR1, and where able to see the subfolders under system objects. Under HCB1 using virualnodename SYR1 we cannot see the system object subfolders. We checked the gray box and attempted the restore but received zero objects inspected or backed up. We contacted TSM support who informed me that Bare Metal Restore and associated Redbooks are not supported. However, after the level one person spoke to level two, they informed me that you could recover a Windows 2000 server from the ground up if the target system for the restore is the same local machine name as the original server. This is due to the fact that the Windows 2000 System Objects are stored using the local machine name in TSM and can't be restored to a new location like a drive file space can. Has anyone else attempted what we tried or does anyone have any comments? We have been able to restore a server and it's registry to another server with a new name under Windows NT 4.0, using a temporary copy of NT installed to a folder called Wintemp, then coming up under the original name after restore/re-boot using the normal WINNT folder. It looks like this is not possible with Windows 2000 and TSM due to the way TSM stores the system object backups. Comments? Jeff Connor Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.

Re: Japanese Filenames
Andy, Taking all you say into consideration, and fully understanding how hard it is to do what we are asking (which in my opinion should have been a major concern before shipping, and not afterwards), I am still unsatisfied. I am not going to bash one software against another, but with all due respect, if you do not support multilingual on English based systems, and some other OS's (such as Netware), then you should state so in letters as large as a 2 story building on the product casing. It's rather not fun in the least, to discover that one can't backup languages on OS's (NT, Novell) after having bought and installed the product. And this after moving from backup software that did just that and didn't blink an eye. I am very glad you have so many resources dedicated to NLS support, but I at least don't care if you have 1000 people working on the issue, I care that it is fixed and fixed FAST. And I am extremely glad that you have learnt to be politicaly correct and state that it's important to you, you'r working on it, and it may be here soon (no guarantees of course).

Adding the Japanese codepage to a UK build won't work. USEUNICODEFILENAMES YES TSM will backup Japanese filenames most of the time, but occassionally dies a horrible death on certain filenames. With lots of people with lots of Japanese filenames, the client will fail more than it suceeeds. USEUNICODEFILENAMES is suppose to be used with Macintosh files, any other use is convenently unsupported by Tivoli. This is not a matter of convenience. USEUNICODEFILENAMES was *never* intended to provide the support you are seeking. It's purpose is strictly for support of Macintosh volumes on NTFS file systems (granted, though, the option would have been better named ENABLEMACFILESUPPORT, or something along those lines). Tivoli support (especially, the Japanese end) are no help whatsoever. As a company, Tivoli seem to have no concept that people do business in multiple languages, and as a backup product Tivoli need to support it. Recents failures, where the NT server product failed as soon as you run it under Japanese, German etc.. bears testiment to the fact, Tivoli aren't even testing their products under different languages. IBM/Tivoli fully understands the need for a global perspective, as we are a global company doing business all over the world. Please do not equate language support issues with have no concept that people do business in multiple languages. This is just not true. Agreed, the recent problems we have had with non-English character sets do not instill the greatest confidence in our NLS support. However, we do in fact have a large number of resources dedicated to NLS support, translation, and testing, and we are continuously working to improve our processes to (among other things) eliminate the kinds of problems you mention. Yes, we have stumbled in this arena, especially recently, but we have also made every effort to respond to the problems in as timely a fashion as possible, because we *do* understand the need for this support. Regarding support for file names comprised of characters from different character sets (i.e. Japanese file names on English systems), this is a long-standing requirement. It isn't here yet because we are ignoring it; rather, the implementation is not trivial. But it is something that we are actively working on and hope to deliver this year. (Standard caveat: this does not constitute a formal announcement or commitment.)
