Take a look at ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/358x. The latest
drive firmware release is 16E0; the latest library release is
V2_5_3.lif. Unless you're running a 3584, the upgrades are customer
installable. The latest Atape release is 6.1.6, and can be found at
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/AIX.

You're significantly downlevel in both aspects you list.

Not exactly on topic here, but you actually lose throughput when you
run compression on both ends of the process. You're better off with
tape compression only; the hardware compression algorithm is faster,
more efficient, and the client doesn't get taxed with the rather
significant CPU usage that client compression requires.

MS Exchange related question

[Yahya Ilyas]

I have installed TSM module for MS Exchange and Windows client on WinNT
machine. When I issue command query node for Exchange node it shows platform
as WinNT, same as it shows for WinNT client.

Some time ago I installed MS Exchange module on a Win2000 machine and query
node command shows me platform as TDP MSExchg NT.  Is this the difference
because of different windows platforms or did I not install MS Exchange
properly on WinNT machines.

Thanks

log and db volumes on emc symmetrix disk

[Joel Fuhrman]

A long time back there was a discussion as to whether it's better to have
one or multiple tsm volumes per physical disk.  As I remember, the answer
was: assuming the entire physical disk volume was being used by one storage
pool, it was best to create one large tsm volume rather than several smaller
volumes to avoid disk IO contention.

I will be moving my db and log volumes stand alone disk to an emc symmetrix.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to number of tsm volumes that should be
created for each emc logical drive?  Would it be best to put 1 4GB, 2 2GB,
or 4 1GB database TSM volumes on 1 emc logical volume?

Yes, that is the problem.

In most cases prompted will probably work most of the time.  If the TSM
client and server are in contact frequently enough that the client doesn't
lose it's DHCP lease for the current IP address, there should be no problem.
I think DHCP generally lets a client keep the same lease a long time, as
long as the IP address is in use.  Or, if the client is a desktop that is
booted daily, the client scheduler will contact the server with its new IP
address as it comes up.  I think the problem would probably be if you had
activity with the client scheduled infrequently, like on weekends only, so
there is a good chance the IP address could change since the last contact.

If you do lose your IP lease, it is a pain and requires manual intervention.
So we use POLLIING by default.  I don't know of any disadvantage to using
POLLING if all you are doing is backups; you just can't force new schedules
down from the server immediately.

Maybe someone else who uses PROMPTED a lot can speak to how they manage in a
DHCP environment.

Re: DHCP and TSM

[France, Don G (Pace)]

Also, by using the "prompted" method, you give up (ie, lose) the benefit of
schedule randomization.  I recommend you use polling method, and make the
backup window large enough to "catch" the most of your users.

(Else, have you tried using DNS name for the parameter?  The book says it
"should" work!!! That would really solve it, for the "server prompted"
scenario.)
- excerpt from Windows - Using The Backup-Archive CLient

Tcpclientaddress
The tcpclientaddress option specifies a TCP/IP address if your client
node has more than one address, and you want the server to contact
an address other than the one that was used to make the first server
contact.
Use this option only if you use the prompted parameter with the
schedmode option, or when the schedule command is running.
Syntax
TCPCLIENTAddress client_address
Parameters
client_address
Specifies the TCP/IP address you want the server to use to
contact your client node. Specify a TCP/IP Internet domain name
or a dot address.
Examples
Options file:
tcpclienta dsmclnt.sanjose.ibm.com

Re: AIX BA Client Backup Problem

[Kelly J. Lipp]

This problem is solved by removing the exclude.dir from the .sys file (or
inclexcl file).  Known problem.  Here is the excerpt from the problem report
I got from Tivoli.

Thanks,

--
Hello Kelly, The problem that you are seeing is addressed in APAR IC29864
and is caused by the use of the exclude.dir statement in your
include/exclude file. The fix for this problem will be included in the next
Client PTF which is slated to be released by mid-July. For the time being
you can circumvent this problem by removing all of the exclude.dir
statements from your include/exclude file. You can replace the exclude.dir
entries with exclude statements. For example, if you have the following
exclude statement specified: exclude.dir /home/ You can replace it with the
following statement: exclude /home/.../* Regards, Tivoli Support

Re: DHCP and TSM

[Prather, Wanda]

Most of our 400+ desktop machines are DHCP, most back up via the scheduler.
We've never had a problem with DHCP and TSM coexisting.
We use POLLING mode by default, just as a precaution.
TSM never has to "remember" a client's TCP/IP address that way.

I found this 'fix' in the listserv archives. I did a DB audit
yesterday (painfully long). After the audit completed
successfully, I was still unable to move data from/to a
volume, getting the same error msg: ANR0102E asalloc.c(3936)

I have already attempted this . . . but it fails, bringing up
ANOTHER problem I have been having with greater and greater
frequency:

The offending volume is set to 'offsite'. When I issue the
command 'update vol XX acc=readw' it appears to
update correctly, but an attempt to 1) move data, 2) delete
volume, 3) audit vol, 4) etc., I get the message that
the volume is offsite. I guess what I am saying is that
there is something wrong with the way ADSM keeps track of
the access modes for volumes, sometimes telling me that they
are offsite even though I have set acc=readwrite.

The long and short of it is this: I am not able to audit
that volume because it is 'offsite'. I am unable to change
the access mode to 'readw' or 'reado' This is the error message
I receive: ANR2456E AUDIT VOLUME: Unable to access associated volume
0E2960 - access mode is set to "offsite".

Other ideas are welcome.

Thanks.

Re: lift blocked 3575l12 33h checkin

[David Longo]

Yes, the long ribbon cable to the picker is the one.  It may be different on the L12 
than on the L24-L32 - the Tall units though.

I would check that you have latest microcode on the library - that's Library microcode 
not drive microcode.

Get a GOOD light and open library and look inside and see if there is anything that 
may be blocking movement of picker, even slightly.  

If this probelm is readily repeatable then I have another suggestion.  That is to open 
and manually disable interlock on door (this may be different on your L12) so library 
will operate with door open and with a light you can easily see what is happening.  
Then do some checkins and see if you can tell if there is any mechanical problem with 
picker movement.

NOTE: Keep hands out of the library with door open as those servo's have some muscle 
behind them, enough to HURT YOUR FINGERS!

Our problem was intermittant but we watched during heavy tape activity and were able 
to actually see then cable get caught and when our local IBM CE called IBM Tucson and 
discussed the continuing problem they detremined we needed the new mod.  Sounds like 
the same one that George Lesho has.

David Longo

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/28/01 04:14AM >>>
David,

Although your explanation is very plausible, I cant find any damage on the
cable.

When I look at the moveing picker I can't see the grayribbon obstructing the
transport mechanism.

When you say ribbon cable is getting caught, Do you mean the long gray
ribbon cable from the base of the box to the picker ?

The strange thing is that when I use AIX tapeutil everything works fine

When I do a " checkinlibvol ... search=bulk checkl=bar" I get a error on
the Magstar 33h liftblocked and a Sense Code in the activity log and the
picker stops all action..

When I do a " checkinlibvol . search=bulk checkl=yes" I get a error on
the Magstar 33h liftblocked and No sense code in the activity log and the
picker moves the volume from the I/O port to his element.

So I guess there is somthing wrong with the Barcode Reader.. I allready had
an IBM CE turn the magstar inside out and recalibrate the barcodereader..
but nothing works

I am now analysing the Sense code ( IBM is analysing ;-) .

So I am out of ideas on this problem for now

Maybe Can the List help me out ?

Thanx for your Reply ...

Koen.

Cal  IBM service on this if you got the error more than once.  I have a
3575-L32 and have had this.  On mine though it required a "special mod" from
IBM's manufacturer due to a new "phase 3" shaft.   What was basically
happening was the big ribbon cable connecting to the robot assy was getting
partially caught in some instances and holding lift and damaging cable.  We
actually saw this happen on several occaisions.

Don't know if this would be happening the same on the L12 though.  Examine
the ribbon cable for any nicks or damage.

There can be other reasons but it is most likely library and not *SM.

When I want to run dsmadmc " checkin libvol 3575lib stat=scr search=bulk"

q req gives me a reply number and place vol in io

then the magstar moves his picker to the top i/o slot and then gives 33h

If anyone can give me a hint !!

Hello everybody,

My environment is the following:TSM Server 3.7.0 on NT
ADSM client 3.1.0.8 on HP-UX
Informix 9.21 FC 5.1 running on the HP-UX
box

I've got the following issue with the integration ADSM / TSM /
Informix.I've
followed the steps decribed in the redbook "Using ADSM to backup databases"
and then tried to  take a full backup of my database. In the bar_act.log, I
get the following output:

The library libXApi.sl can't be opened. After some research I've found the
following. The ADSM client, Informix and the operating system are all 64
bits, however the API and hence the library is 32 bits. This explains the
communication error.

I've asked IBM to provide me the 64bits library of libXApi.sl, but all they
can say is 'You should use the TDP for Informix' and they don't seem to
know
if a 64bits library exists?

Is anybody taking a backup of a 64bits version of Informix via onbar? Where
can I find the 64 bits version of the library libXApi.sl ?

Any input would be greatly appreciated,

You ran a shell script and passed a value in double quotes.
Shells conventionally accept whatever was in the quotes as a single
entity and then hand that off to the task - which means that TSM
was given a bunch of tokens without quotes.  You have to compensate
by coding quotes within quotes, per the rules of your shell.

Put a "\" in fron of the quote (") after the SEARCH=.

And you'll have a problem with "server*" also.
The UNIX shell treats these characters specially - remove the special
meaning with \ or by using ' ' arounf the whole expression.

Re: Restore of Novell NDS

[Remeta, Mark]

I have one thing to say to you good luck!
We have had numerous problems restoring NDS and most of them boil down to
problems with the NetWare TSA modules. I would say upgrade to the latest TSM
client you can and test with that. Don't bother with the older ones. Were
currently having problems restoring NetWare 5.1 and TSM client 4.1.2.16 on a
4.1.2.0 TSM server.


If you want more details email me off-list.

1) I do not get trustee rights back on individual user restores. Only the

2) If I delete a test Container with Leaf Objects in it, upon restore of the

3) Also my nightly's of NDS are still not going off. We have about 10

Re: complete change of hardware and server-platform ?

[Kelly J. Lipp]

I like everything except update vol access=unavail.  I think they need to be
updated access=destroyed for the copy volumes to be used.  I think if they
are unavailable TSM will ask for them to be loaded in the library within 60
minutes, blah, blah, blah.

Minor point.

This note is good enough to be renamed: Easy steps to accomplish DR using
another library, or somesuch.  Dwight, I'll leave that to you!

Very interesting that things worked well !
(I expected since they were both Unix platforms, but wasn't going to bet the
farm)

Let's look at how TSM acts currently...
IF you have a copy pool (say local to the server) and a primary volume is
bad, and a client requests data from that volume, TSM will pull it from the
copy pool volume with no intervention at all. (last time I tested, this was
the case)
OK, an offsite copy pool... just a backup storage pool that you checkout the
volumes, take them offsite, and update the volume(s) with a status of
"offsite".

Now, we have at a remote location a similar atl with the same drives (can't
get around that) and a server on which the tsm db will restore to...
remember, tape volumes are bound to a device class
device classes have an associated library (when this applies)
YES, you may have tape volumes with absolutely no physical tape devices
defined to TSM (and no libraries)
So now at this remote location you bring up TSM and it may or may not find
what it thinks is the proper library...
And this library has had the copy pool volumes placed in it, and the library
itself just knows them as being in "insert mode"
Now the existing library(ies) within TSM... Who cares, delete the library
definition(s)
You (famous last words) now should be able to perform a "define library
blah" to create a real library definition to the physical library attached
to your current system, update your device class to reference this library
definition, define the existing drives to this library... you are now just
about ready to go !
Get a list of all the volumes in the copypool (q vol stg=blahcopypool)
for each of these volumes, issue a "checkin libvol" command to check
them in private
update the volumes to be readwrite (also update all other, not at
this site, volumes to be unavail)
Now if a client connects and attempts to pull data from the server, it
should automatically go to the copypool volumes.
I would not bother trying to recreate primary pool volumes (would take to
long if this is a real disaster situation)
Once client boxes were recovered, you could continue to move towards turning
this current environment into a full production backup server again OR
towards getting in new hardware for such...

But still beter try the odbc driver wich is supplied with the Windows BA
client and do your querys inside Microsoft Acces...

Happy TSM ing

Take a look at the following red piece.  It contains examples for windows on
how to setup your .cmd file.  Yes you do use the TSM server to execute a
command file on the client.

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246249.pdf


Look at chapter 11 for examples.

By the way, I am using the GNU version of grep not the grep that comes
with AIX.  Install the full distribution of GNU grep by getting a
precompiled version (gnu.grep-2.3.0.0.exe) from http://freeware.bull.net.

And, at the start of my email it should be "$LOC directory" not "$LOG
directory".

P.S.  I tried to send this earlier with the gnu grep attached but the
list rejected.

Try this script.  It'll create a log called daily.log in the $LOG

Re: Error on test TSM-server

[Rushforth, Tim]

Does the server show error ANR0480W at all?

We have an open APAR (#IC29491) where when a client connection is lost to
the TSM server during a server action (as opposed to when the client is
sending data), the schedule becomes frozen and all subsequent schedules will
fail.  The Scheduler service must be restarted.  This only happens using
shcedmode prompted.

Re: scripting client's data???

[Cook, Dwight E]

This is where you might want to create an administrative id of "queryid" (or
something similar) with no authority, this will allow it to perform queries
and you won't have to worry about an id being in scripts with its password.

OK, I'll assume you have a Unix box somewhere that has access to the tsm
server.

#!/bin/ksh
dsmadmc -id=queryid -pass=querypass query actlog begindate=today-1
begintime=20:00 enddate=today endtime=now search=ANE4961I originator=client
>> client.transfer.data
exit

one can also pipe the information into mail... say to send misc info to
someone...
#!/bin/ksh
dsmadmc -id=queryid -pass=querypass q db f=d | mail -s db_info
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
exit

I can't really share many specifics because of the legality issues of
working for a private company but believe me, you can do a whole lot with
simple little shell scripts... and if you use the output of a "date" command
to say pull in the name of the day of the week... you can have info saved in
files for a weeks worth of time and automatically over write it (weekly)
ie. blah > $(date +%A%I%p)
puts the info into a file named Thursday09AM (or what ever hour it happens
to be) kind of a good way to dump volhist into to a remote box somewhere...

the getting it into a spread sheet would probably be a manual operation
still...
unless you did some web application to pull the info from the output file
and list it in some tabular fashion.

hope this helps...
Dwight

Re: AIX BA Client Backup Problem

[MUSTAFA BAYTAR]

Hi Kelly ,

DB2 logs all changes to the database in log records.Your DB2 logging them into   
/db2logs/NODE/
path..
and probably S0007932.LOG is  active  during backup.
I dont't know which logging you are using but if you using circular logging you don't 
need to backup
these logs.
if you are using archive logging , when a log file is filled with records ,the log 
file is copied to
directory log_archive by the db2 logging user exit.
Once all changed pages referenced in the online active log files have been witten to 
disks , the
online active log file is deleted.The copied log fie  in the
log_archive directory is now offline active.When directory log_archive fills with 
offline logs
you must archive  them using DB2 control center or another tool.

I think simply put /db2logs/NODE/ into your exclude list and escape from this 
situation.

Are you able to do a backup from the command line interface?
It looks as if the communication with the SQL server is
causing some type abnormal program termination.
The only thing I can think of right off hand is that
the registry containing connection information was somehow
corrupted... but without a trace there is no way I can tell.
To get to the bottom of this, it will require some
traces to be gathered.  Please call IBM/Tivoli support.

tpdsql version 2.2 was working but now the gui window opens and then
immediately closes.

The tdpsql.log file show the request QUERY SQL but there is no connection
to
the TSM 4.1.3.0 Server running on AIX 4.3.3 ML06 and there is no entry in
the dsierror.log file.  A command line tdpsqlc QUERY SQL gets the same
results.  However, a tdpsqlc QUERY TSM * /all does list the backups.

Any suggestions as to what would cause this?

SV: Error on test TSM-server

[Thomas Anthon Kiel]

Hej Veli,

this looks really after a network problem you have with this NT client.
That's why the TSM Server cannot connect the client anymore. Can you ping
the client PC from the TSM server?
Error 10054 is a TCP/IP error that means that a connection has been forcibly
closed. The reason for this can be locally on the system, from a network
device or from the remote host.
RC -50 indicates that a connection is lost through errors.
Can you give further explainations about when this error is coming up on the
client (during a backup?). Is the scheulder working on after this error
appears? I can see that you are using prompted mode for the scheduler. Did
you try using polling mode?

Re: tdpsql v2.2 gui opens then immediately closes

[Del Hoobler]

Joel,

Can you tell me what version of SQL server you are running?
Do you happen to be running SQL 7 SP2?
In looking at the PMR and submitted information, Bruce only sees the
problem on his SQL 7 SP2 boxes.  His SQL 7 SP3 machine does not have this
problem.
Can you give me more specifics about your SQL 7 configuration.
(SP level, character set, ???)
Are you able to get this to work on any of your SQL 7 servers?

Thanks,

Del

I am having the same problem with SQL 7.0 SP2.  I have had this issue open
with Tivoli support for 2-3 months now with no resolution.  I did install
SQL 7 with different character set.  Version 1.1 work fines.  I was never
able to get 2.2 to work at all.  So far this is the only fixtest they have
had me try (did not work for me...):

Are you able to do a backup from the command line interface?
It looks as if the communication with the SQL server is

tpdsql version 2.2 was working but now the gui window opens and then
immediately closes.

The tdpsql.log file show the request QUERY SQL but there is no connection
to
the TSM 4.1.3.0 Server running on AIX 4.3.3 ML06 and there is no entry in
the dsierror.log file.  A command line tdpsqlc QUERY SQL gets the same
results.  However, a tdpsqlc QUERY TSM * /all does list the backups.

Any suggestions as to what would cause this?

Re: can't read tape label.

[Cook, Dwight E]

Now do you have your environment set to require a backup prior to HSM
migrating data off to TSM ?
If you do and you have in fact lost the HSM data, then you may restore the
client's data from backups (and then migrate it off again)  long process but
works.
All HSM data here has to have a valid backup prior to migration since TSM
will be keeping the only valid copies of the data.

Now for the tape volume...
have you tried a "move data" ?
I don't know if that would get you past the label problem or not...
also an audit volume on it might be worth a try...

For a price, IBM can pull data off a destroyed tape.

Help!  We have a customer problem.

Config:
AIX 4.3.3
TSM 4.1.1
2 x 3494 library
FC SAN

Problem:
A disk primary storage pool which migrates to tape very infrequently has
been corrupted.  Basically the files in the JFS filesystem have been
deleted by a root user.  No one admits responsibility.  Therefore the
primary storage pool  volumes have been lost.  A new disk volume has been
created and defined to the storage pool.  We have copy storage pools so we
attempted a restore of the "destroyed" volumes.

Guess what? Tape errors!  The message is

ANR8355E I/O error reading label for volume 030171 in drive F5180
(/dev/rmt4).

They have tried reading the tape in other drives but they still get the
same error.  However mtlib mounts the tape OK.

Any ideas?  Is there anyway they can recreate the tape label?  Without this
tape the customer has lost a lof of HSM data!

Thanks
Richard.

Re: can't read tape label.

[Jeff Bach]

Also, check and make sure the labeling of the volume did not fail.   An I/O
error reading the label can just indicate that the label was not there.  Get
the sense code data and have ADSM support indicate what the message means.
Also, look at OS errors at the same time.

I got the same problem when label libvol commands failed and the tape was
checked into the server.

Richard - The problems with your TSM disk and tape resources
indicates that
  someone is really dorking with your system.  You need to
find that
person and deal with him before he does more damage.

The tape label problem is fatal.  Attempting to recreate the label
is not the
real issue: the symptoms suggest that the tape in total was used for
some
non-TSM application.  Is your library shared with some other
facility?  This
is a common cause of this problem, with two chefs in the kitchen.

I think your shop needs to call a halt for a while and take a
thorough look at
configuration and practices, as things are really amiss.  In
particular, look
for recent changes (within the past month) that could be causing
conflicts.

Re: tdpsql v2.2 gui opens then immediately closes

[Bruce Kamp]

I am having the same problem with SQL 7.0 SP2.  I have had this issue open
with Tivoli support for 2-3 months now with no resolution.  I did install
SQL 7 with different character set.  Version 1.1 work fines.  I was never
able to get 2.2 to work at all.  So far this is the only fixtest they have
had me try (did not work for me...):

I received a response from our development team requesting that you try
installing fixtest IC29849_01.exe for TDP for SQL v2.2. According to them,
it fixes some character set/language problems with SQL Server and so could
be related to the problem you are currently experiencing. I have attached
both the readme file and fixtest for you to install. The  readme will
provides the following information regarding what APARs are fixed:


The following problems are fixed in this FIXTEST:

IC29849

   When using the TDP for SQL 2.2 GUI or command line one may have
   encountered this error:
  ACO5422E Received the following from the MS SQL server:
  SQL-DMO  The name 'Unicode locale ID' was not found in the
  ConfigValues collection.  If the name is a qualified name, use
  to separate various parts of the name, and try again.
  Microsoft SQL-DMO (HRESULT:0x80045510)
   The problem occurred with any SQL Server 7.0 sort order that is case
   sensitive, such as binary or dictionary order. A query SQL or any
   backup command would fail. Both the GUI and the command line would
   not work.  SQL 2000 does not experience this problem.

IC30018

   The /relocate option on the command line does not process
   logical file names that are transaction log files.
   When used with the /partial option, it would not process logical
   file names that were not members of the /groups or /files specified.

Re: restore db

[Cook, Dwight E]

I believe as long as the DB is in excess of what it was, you can get the
restore to run...
(back with ADSM 2.x that wasn't the case but I believe it might be now, we
always have specs on our DB's)

This is why it is nice to have some automated task to do something simple
like mail you the characteristics of the DB daily or weekly...

Everyone should take time to attempt a restore of their db on a test box, it
is an educational experience and will save time and headaches later!

Re: ANS1075E **** Program memory exhausted **** error message

[Richard Sims]

Ken - From my notes at http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts :

ANS1075E *** Program memory exhausted ***
*SM thinks: The program has exhausted all available storage.
*SM recommendation: Free any unnecessary programs, for example,
terminate and stay resident programs (TSRs), that are running and retry
the operation. Reducing the scope of queries and the amount of data
returned can also solve the problem.
If a Unix system, check Unix Limits values.  Assure that the system is
not running out of virtual storage.  If AIX, you may be in need of more
than the single memory segment that AIX allows by default, which you can
go beyond via Large Program Support conventions.  The scoop:
 The amount of memory that the process needs may exceed the size of one
 data segment (256 MB), which is the default number of segments a
 process may use.  The process is in this case killed by the system.
 The work-around for this is to enable the program to be able to use
 more than one data segment by enabling Large Program Support, using the
 following commands:
cp -p  .orig
cd /usr/lpp/adsm/bin
/usr/bin/echo '\0200\0\0\0' |
 dd of= bs=4 count=1 seek=19 conv=notrunc
 which causes the XCOFF o_maxdata field (see ) to be updated.
 This allows the program to use the maximum of 8 data segments (2 GB).
 Choose the string to use for a given number of data segments from
 the following table:
# segmentsvm size   string

8 2 GB  '\0200\0\0\0'
6 1.5 GB'\0140\0\0\0'
4 1 GB  '\0100\0\0\0'
2 512 MB'\040\0\0\0'

complete change of hardware and server-platform ?

[Rainer Wolf]

Dwight, we tested the aix-to-solaris-tsmdb-moving and it worked very fine-
so maybe we will use this as a regular 'quick-stand-by-server'
only for restore/retrieve purpose ( on data located on an
offsite-copy-server )  and *nothing else*
( no backup - no archive - no dbbackup ... ) and only just for
a short time in case of cpu-crash or in case of desaster.

It's not actual right now but my question is : if there is a need to change
the complete hardware (server platform , backup and archive libraries )
and assuming to have  all data ( maybe temporarily for this action )
located on an offsite-copy-server  ...
... can i thus move to the db on a new server-platform to get the access
to the db and to the offsite copy pools
then create new dev-classes pointing to the completely new
library-hardware - create a new primary STG on this newlib-devclasses
and the all by a command like
restore stgpool OLDSTG copypool=offsite-copy-pool newstgpool=NEWSTG

Is this a usual way to change to new server-platforms/librarys/tapes ... ?
- it seems to be easy and straight forward -


Thanks in advance for any hints !
Rainer

---
the test we have done:
- on production server-a ( aix-tsm 4.1.3.0 ) doing not all but some of the
full-DBB into a flatfile located on an solaris-system
- on this solaris system server-b  ( tsm4.1.3.0 ) with no tapes - only disk
and just the solaris server-package installed we load the db exported
by the production server-a
( this solaris system has some km distance to the production-server)
- after shutting down the production-tsm-server on the aix system
-not to run both at once-  we can start this solaris
'quick-stand-by-server' and have access
- to all the DB-entries
- to all data located on the offsite-copy-server ( server-c )
The dsmserv.opt on the solaris-server was started with
DISABLESCHED-set-to-YES   to avoid any automatic processes
and
EXPINTERVAL-set-to-0 to avoid any db Expiration processes -
additionally we delete all admin schedules on the server-b after starting.
All primary volumes were changed access to detryoed.

So the only thing would then be to change the clients field
'TCPServeraddress' to the Ip-Address of the solaris-server.
Any client with data that has a copy on the 'offsite-copy-server'
can then immediately restore/retrieve data ( to the time of the
last flatfile-fullbackup - which maybe not the most actual one ).

end of test
-

Re: lift blocked 3575l12 33h checkin

[Koen A. Willems]

David,

Although your explanation is very plausible, I cant find any damage on the
cable.

When I look at the moveing picker I can't see the grayribbon obstructing the
transport mechanism.

When you say ribbon cable is getting caught, Do you mean the long gray
ribbon cable from the base of the box to the picker ?

The strange thing is that when I use AIX tapeutil everything works fine

When I do a " checkinlibvol ... search=bulk checkl=bar" I get a error on
the Magstar 33h liftblocked and a Sense Code in the activity log and the
picker stops all action..

When I do a " checkinlibvol . search=bulk checkl=yes" I get a error on
the Magstar 33h liftblocked and No sense code in the activity log and the
picker moves the volume from the I/O port to his element.

So I guess there is somthing wrong with the Barcode Reader.. I allready had
an IBM CE turn the magstar inside out and recalibrate the barcodereader..
but nothing works

I am now analysing the Sense code ( IBM is analysing ;-) .

So I am out of ideas on this problem for now

Maybe Can the List help me out ?

Thanx for your Reply ...

Koen.

Cal  IBM service on this if you got the error more than once.  I have a
3575-L32 and have had this.  On mine though it required a "special mod" from
IBM's manufacturer due to a new "phase 3" shaft.   What was basically
happening was the big ribbon cable connecting to the robot assy was getting
partially caught in some instances and holding lift and damaging cable.  We
actually saw this happen on several occaisions.

Don't know if this would be happening the same on the L12 though.  Examine
the ribbon cable for any nicks or damage.

There can be other reasons but it is most likely library and not *SM.

Dear Listers,

I have a problem with a 3575 l12 TSM 4.1.3 Atape 5.0.4. AIX 4.3.0.0.

When I want to run dsmadmc " checkin libvol 3575lib stat=scr search=bulk"

q req gives me a reply number and place vol in io

then the magstar moves his picker to the top i/o slot and then gives 33h
lift blocked on his console.

If anyone can give me a hint !!

Antw: restore db

[Wolfgang Herkenrath]

Hi Manoel,

1. No, I think it's not ok. If the DB really was 4MB large TSM only need 4MB for the 
restore.

2. It is possible. You have to preallocate the DB for the restore. If you allocate the 
DB to small, TSM told you how much space it needs. So, I think you DB wasn't 4 MB, I 
think it was 64 MB.

Hi *SMs,

1- I am trying to restore a DB that it has 4MB for test but TSM asks for =
64MB of free space to do the restore. Is it ok?

2- Is it possible to restore a DB when I do not know the size of it?

Thanks,

Manoel

It seems that you need more than one memory segment (255MB).
We've had this problem with a dfs client and got a circumvention
by IBM (don't remember the APAR now), something like

echo ' 0200 0 0 0' | dd of=dsmcdfs bs=4 count=1 seek=19 conv=notrunc

But things have changed!

Hth,
