Re: Tapes in insert(FF00) mode in 3494

2001-07-11 Thread Lau, Ming

Joon,

Tapes with FF00, it means they cannot check in as scratch, because the tapes
have un-expired data.  That's why TSM is smart enough won't check in as
scratch, but they can check in as private.

Tapes can be check in again as scratch after all data are expired.

Subject: Tapes in insert(FF00) mode in 3494


Hi,
In 3494 tape library I've found dozens of 3590 tapes in insert(FF00) mode. I
tried checkin command with search=yes, status=scratch, devtype=3590 but it
didn't bring tapes into scratch mode. Instead, running checkin every single
volumes without specifying search option did work.

Now my questions are:
1. why or what makes tapes go to insert status?
2. How do I bring them back to scratch status without checkin one by one?

Server is 3.7.4 on aix4.3.3.
Thank you in advance.

Re: content tables Vs occupancy tables.

2001-07-11 Thread Robin Sharpe

Ofer,

A couple of issues here.

First, and probably this is your answer, the 70GB capacity for DLT IV
cartridges on DLT7000 drives is an estimate assuming 2:1 compression.  The
compression is done using a version of the Lempel-Ziv algorithm, like that
used by PKZIP and many other software compression programs.  The actual
compression you will see is very much dependent on the data that is being
compressed...  test data, like email messages, etc. will probably get
better than 2:1 compression.  Database table spaces will get way better,
mostly because they are not nearly full and contain long runs of zeros.
Binaries, like programs or graphics will probably get less than 2:1.  And
any files that are already compressed, like .zip, .Z, .gz, archives, etc.,
may even grow when written to tape, because the additional compression adds
some control info, but is not able to compress any further.

In our shop, we see many DLT cartridges with well over 100GB... some as
high as 140GB!  These are all from Unix systems.  NT, we have found, never
achieves 70GB... the best we have seen is about 55GB or so.

Bottom line, don't use 70GB to calculate the max capacity of your library,
it could be much higher.

Second point,  try a "q auditocc" command.  The AUDITOCC table summarizes
the backup and archive data stored by client.  It is calculated
periodically, whenever an "audit license" command is issued.  You can issue
this command anytime to update the table;  if you don't it is controlled by
the LICENSEAUDITPERIOD which you can set to any number of days.   I have
mine set to 1... I like the table to be updated frequently.  A disadvantage
of the AUDITOCC table (and the "q auditocc" command)  is that there are no
totals.  You'll have to write a select statement or capture the output to a
script to calculate  your totals.  One nifty thing you can do is calculate
"backup deficit",,, (BACKUP_MB - BACKUP_COPY_MB)...  this tells you if you
have all of your data protected in a copy pool.  Ideally, backup deficit
should be zero.

Hope this helps!

ANR8301E I/O error on library __ (OP=005C6D37, SENSE=N/A, CC=0023).
CC is the I/O completion code (some of which are documented in Appendix

exist in the library.
Seen when the mtlib status command shows a drive as "Device available to
Library.", but ADSM finds itself unable to actually use the drive (an
ADSM server 'SHOW LIBR' has it avail=0).  Attempted mtlib will show:
 mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -m -f /dev/rmt3 -V 81
 Mount  operation Error - Device is not in library.
Look at the 3590 control panel: make sure that the drive is functional,
and that the appropriate Path is Online.
There was a defect in 3.1.x and 3.7.x Server code, affecting drives in a
3494 library, where an UPDate DRive command without a DEVIce
specification can cause the device number to be lost to the server.

ANS9281E Space management kernel extension is downlevel from the user program.

Since we don't use space management here, as far as I know, this warning is not
a big deal, and it doesn't seem to affect the regular backup that occurs earlier
in the morning.  However, we really don't want this message, so does anyone have
any ideas on how to supress it?  We are currently running Storage Management

checkin errors

I am running TSM 4.1.3 server on a Win2000 machine.  That machine is
connected to an IBM3494
tape library over ethernet.  The 3494 contains three fibre attached 3590E1A drives 
that talk to the TSM
server over an IBM 6109 SAN switch.  I have added thirty tapes to the ATL that are the 
new "J" tapes and
am having trouble when checking them in.  Sometimes the checkin process works just 
fine and sometimes it
abends with an error.  When this error occurs, the TSM service stops and I have to log 
onto the server to restart
the service.  The error is not consistent, it is not tape specific or drive specific.  
I was running 4.1.2 but upgraded to
try and resolve this issuethat did not work.  Has anyone seen this error before?  
Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Schedule Archive from the TSM server.

2001-07-11 Thread Brian L. Nick

Hello everyone.

 I found a problem today with TSM and Archives. We are running a TSM 3.7.4
server on OS/390 2.10 and I had a client indicate that they could not find
an Archive from 2 weeks ago. I accessed the client via the web and selected
the retrieve function from the GUI. Sure enough there was only one archive
listed for retrieval.

 Upon further investigation I found that the archive data does exist but
the problem is this. The TSM server has a scheduled archive of node ABC
file DEF. The problem comes into play with the description parameter of
this schedule. The schedule is defined with an action of Archive the
options for this schedule are what cause the problem. The options are '
-sub=yes -des="lifepro daily archive" , objects for the schedule are d:
\DEF\*. The archive runs without errors but all the archive data is under
the description "lifepro daily archive".

 My question is this. Is there a way to use a symbolic in the schedule for
the description field under action options? I searched through the manuals
and this lists archive but did not find a way to accomplish this from the
TSM server. I know that we could execute a batch file on the client (which
is NT) that can issue the archive command but I would rather not do this.

 Please let me know if there is a way that I can make each scheduled
archive unique using a archive scheduled from the TSM server or if I'm out
of luck.

 TIA for all of you help.

You probably need to setup some environment variables in script or need to "CD" to a 
directory in the script before executing commands.

I guess this is a .BAT file?

Re: backup DB doesn't reflect discarded data from TAPE DELETE

Matt - Deleting a Primary storage pool volume certainly results in the
   files that were on the volume being deleted from the TSM database.
Filespace name changes (often from capricious changed made on client
systems) are the most common reason for data hanging around indefinitely
in TSM.  And sometimes, data backed up via API is not subsequently deleted
by the client when it becomes obsolete, so also hangs around.
If you change domains and the same-name policy domain does not exist in
the new policy domain, Backup files get rebound to the default management
class there.

Re: Peculiar disaster recovery situation

2001-07-11 Thread Doug Hewerdine

All you would have to do is change the library configuration to manual in
the device configuration file before the restore is done.  Then when ever
you do the Database restore, you will have to specify the volumes that
contain the database backup.  Then when you are up and running, the server
will ask for tapes as needed and you will have to insert then and answer a
request .. "reply 001"  where 001 is the request number . which you get
from "q request".

Hi,
   We have a 3494 tape library with 4 3590 tape drives and a robot. We are
considering an offsite disaster recovery solution. Meaning if the present
building is destroyed we go to another location and restore everything.
However at this "other location" we donot have 3494 tape library. We would
have access to only 3590 tape drives. My question is how would the tapes be
loaded to tape drives manually. In other words would the drives recognize
the tapes(created in 3494 library) or do I need to change something in our
present configuration.

Re: backup DB doesn't reflect discarded data from TAPE DELETE

2001-07-11 Thread MC Matt Cooper (2838)

I do run Expire Inventory daily.  I did ntice that if it does not finish, in
the 3 hour window that I give it, that it starts where it left off the next
day.  But it does NOT look at the nodes at the beginning of the list again,
that day.  Kind of odd but that is what it does.

You are correct in your thoughts about status = ACTIVE.  However, with the
assurances by the client administrators (we run full backups every other
week), I deleted the tapes that should hold theses ACTIVE files with
DISCARD=YES.  I would believe it would take it off the data base.   And yes
I am curious too as to why we can do FULL backups every other week and still
have files that are 4-7 months old and ACTIVE.  I have found the following
reasons for this.
1) It was an old DB backup that was not properly expired by the client.
These ALL have DATE/TIME stamps in the file name.
2) Nodes that were renamed and the data was left to hang
3) Nodes that were actually removed but not removed from TSM
4) ?
Does moving a node from one policy to another leave this type of data as an
ACTIVE backup?
Am I correct in my understanding that even though I went through the
DELETE DISCARD=YES process that TSM deleted the data from the tape but
because it was listed as ACTIVE, (for whatever hole in my process that let
that happen)  that it did not delete it from the BACKUPS DB?

Re: TSM server performance help

2001-07-11 Thread bbullock

I've seen all the replies and they are all good, but I don't think
they will solve your problem. I think the most telling problem is that when
you run backups individually, they work great, but when you have multiple
sessions and processes running at the same time, they all seem to bog down.
We are running 2 of our TSM servers on M80s and they just scream.

It sounds like what bit us when we upgraded to AIX 4.3.3. Because of
the way TSM threads it's jobs, if you don't have a certain setting in AIX,
your TSM server will become a single threaded beast and really bog down.
>From the TSM 4.1.1 readme:

___
**
* Possible performance degradation due to threading  *
**

On some systems Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX may exhibit significant
performance degradation due to TSM using user threads instead of
kernel threads.

This may be an AIX problem however, to avoid the performance degradation
you should set the following environment variables before you start
the server.

export AIXTHREAD_MNRATIO=1:1

Making these changes don't require a reboot, so it's worth a shot to
add these in, make sure they get sourced into your current environment (by
logging out & back in, or just running these 2 lines) and then stop and
start the ADSM service.

Server:  M80 running AIX 4.3.3, 4GB RAM, 768MB ps
 DiskStoragePool, Rlog, & Database on all on a
  SAN via fibre channel connection.
TSM version:4.1

This is a newly configured system.  We are conducting
tests on it. When we tried to do a few backups by
themselves, they seemed to get done pretty fast.
However, when we had 4 migration processes and a
couple of backups going at the same time, everything
slowed down to a halt.  According to my client, his
backup transfer speed was about 100MB per minute. Can
anyone give me some suggestions to improve the
performance?  I have attached the 'topas' reading of
this server.

I think you have to register space management licenses:
REGISTER LICENSEFILE=SPACEMGR.LIC NUMBER=10

Clients need both.

Ofer - From http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts :

FILE_SIZE   ADSMv3 SQL: A column in the CONTENTS
table, supposedly reflecting the file
size. Unfortunately this reports the
size of the Aggregate (of small files),
not the individual file, except when the
file is very large and thus not
aggregated (greater than the client
TXNBytelimit setting).

If you look at all the fields in a Contents listing, you will see a lot of files
together in the listing with like "AGGREGATED: 3/9" and all 9 having the same
FILE_SIZE - which is the size of the Aggregate in which they reside.
Unfortunately, the customer's virtual view of the TSM database does not provide
access to actual file sizes, as can be seen from the TSM clients.

Felix - 1 hour sure sounds like a Daylight Savings value.
In the NT Date/Time Properties, select Time Zone and under

content tables Vs occupancy tables.

2001-07-11 Thread Ofer

 Hi all,

 I have a 100 DLT cartridges library with 35/70GB capacity each.
 This is like 7TB approximately data on the library if the compression
 utilization is like 100%( which is not the case).

 In addition, there are like 37 cartridges with scratch status.

 I would like to  know how much data I have on my tsm server so I have
 ran the following 2 select q.

 'select node_name,sum(file_size) as sum_file_size from contents group
by
 node_name'

 'select node_name,sum(PHYSICAL_MB) as sum_phys_mb from occupancy group
 by node_name'

 and I got the following result

 9,030,520 MB from the contents table

 2,422,690 MB from the occupancy table

 From the occupancy table I have a reasonable number that I can live
with
 but the values from the contents are bigger then my library with a 100%

 compression.

 what is the explanation for that number?.

I have 9TB on a library(Content Table) while the Maximum  capacity of
library is 7TB ( Not to mention that I have sum scratch cartridges on
the library ).

 I appreciate your prompt reply.

 All the Best,


Ofer

what could I try further tu adjust this situation ? below is the output of

Re: TSM and 3590E Tapes

2001-07-11 Thread Reinhard Mersch

Louis Wiesemann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb:
> Thanks.  One thing I'm not clear on is whether I need to set the old B tapes
to readonly or can I let TSM do it for me.  IBM says that the new drives will
not write over a non-scratch tape in the old format.  When TSM calls for an
output tape and the drive detects the old format will it genrate an error that
causes TSM to mark the tape readonly and then mount a scratch tape?  Or should
I set the B tapes to readonly before bringing TSM up with the new drives?

If I remember correctly, the TSM-Sever internally records for each tape,
whether ist has been written by a B-type or E-type drive, and refuses to
_continue_ to write a B-type tape on an E-type drive. You thus only need
to set the FILLING tapes to READONLY, no need to set them all to READONLY
or to define a new storage pool, as someone else mentioned.

It is important, that the TSM server recognizes the new drive types. This
is done by deleting and redefining the drives.
