AW: Getting accounting log out of SMF
kai,
1) under OS/390 almost for every task or activity a SMF record is
generated.
These records are collected in the SYS1.MAN* datasets. Usually, this
data
is extracted to different gdg's for whatever purpose. It makes the
working
with SMF data much more easier if you have subsets of specific
record types.
For most record types the generation can be turned off and on (have
a look at
SYS1.PARMLIB(SMF*) members for definitions for your system). The
records
for TSM have TYPE 42 SUBTYPE 14 and can be turned on with the SET
ACCOUNTING ON
command (have a look with Q STATUS). The record layout is documented
in the
TSM for MVS and OS/390 Administrator's Guide.
For example, with the OS/390 Performance Reporter (or TDS) you could
define
reports which read a specific SMF record and generate as desired.
2) Here you have two jobs. The first job extracts the TSM SMF records
(type 42,
subtype 14) out from our monthly SMF gdg, with the IFASMFDP utility.
The second
job uses ICETOOL (nothing but a SORT) to read the SMF records and
generate a
readable output. Note that the first job is not really needed. You
could also
run the second job on the whole SMF data (take your time ...). In
the SORT control
statements, you can see that only type 42 records will be used
(INCLUDE COND= ).

HIPER - TSM 4.1.2 server for OS/390
APAR PQ50760 describes a looping condition with two migration processes and high and low migration thresholds set to zero. This condition occurred for TSM V4.1.2 for OS/390 with two migration processes and high and low thresholds set to 10 and 5 respectively. In this condition, no commands are processed, including HALT. No other work is processed either. Cancelling the server and restarting it does not help because the migration processes are restarted automatically and the loop is entered again. I applied the local fix in APAR PQ50760 and was able to avoid restoring the TSM database. The fix is to start the server with the undocumented option NOMIGRRECL which prevents migration on server startup. ___ William White Mainframe Services Group International Computing Centre (ICC) e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problem with DB2 space reservation in API backup
Hi We are running backup of a DB2 database thru the API interface to our TSM 4.1 server on AIX. We are using compression on the client side, but space is reserved in the disk storage pool on the server for the size of the uncompressed data. This makes the space reservation exceed the available space in the pool (200GB). I _know_ this is an old problem, but I believe I've seen previously that there are some parameters you could adjust to change how much space will be reserved. I cannot, however, find anything in the archive or in the places in the documentation where I've looked so far, so I would like to ask if anybody knows of the existence of such parameters and where they would be found and possibly some documentation about them. Regards Peter

HELP - Solaris backup problem!
Has anyone experienced this before: I have many Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 machines getting backed up to a TSM server on Solaris (4.1.2). Each night the backups run with a 'completed' report. But I have run into a HUGE problem. When the backup runs automatically at night, it misses almost the entire file system. I have a machine that has missed the /, /opt, /usr /var directories every time it runs. But when I run a manual backup, 'dsmc inc', everything gets backed up. And the include/exclude file has nothing in it to exclude these directories. Does anyone know of this problem? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

slow tsm 4.1 hpux 11.0 client when archiving
Hi, the server is a rs6k aix 433 tsm 4.1 the client is a hp9000 hpux 11 tsm 4.1 the problem is that backups seem quick whereas archive seem long before we moved to tsm 4.1, the server and the client were adsm 3.1. it was running fine : 30 minutes for a daily backup and 8 hours for a full archive (25 GB / 350.000 files) now I need at least 2 days ( 50 hours) for the archive, the only difference being tsm instead of adsm I have other hp workstations in hp-ux 10.20 still with adsm 3.1 client, on which backup and archive durations did not change when the server moved to tsm 4.1 any idea ? tia, - * - * - * - * - * - * - Si nous avons chacun un objet et que nous les echangeons, nous avons encore chacun un objet.

Updated Last Access Times - NT client/McAfee/Outbound files
Hi, everybody. We're experiencing a situation where the Last Access times on the fileserver are updated for a huge number of files, about half the data on the server. Windows: NT4 SP6 Server: AIX TSM 4.1.3.2 Client: NT TSM 4.1.1.16 McAfee: Server version 4.5 Filescan: Outbound files enabled (I know, not recommended by McAfee, but there are political elements.) We're preparing to implement the new HSM product for Windows (the rebranded OTG DiskExtender), but with the last access times getting updated during the backup, writing meaningful rules is difficult. We've been able to demonstrate that, when we disable Outbound files in McAfee, we no longer have the huge amount of files with access times from during the last backup. However, we haven't been able to recreate the behavior for Tivoli support using a smaller, more controlled backup for tracing purposes. I shudder at the thought of tracing the entire backup of a 600GB fileserver. Has anybody else seen this, know of this, or might be willing to try recreating it? Helpful thoughts?

Re: TSM Versions
Hi all, We are currently running the server at 3.7 and clients running 3.7 and earlier. With 3.7 going off support at the end of October, I need to migrate my server to 4.2, along with the clients. If I read the website correctly, the 3.7 version of the client is not compatible with the 4.2 version of the server and vise versa. If this is true, then how does one migrate from 3.7 to 4.2? Do you have to update your clients to at either 3.7 or 4.1 followed by your server to 4.1 followed by the clients to 4.2 and then the server to 4.2? Or can the server be migrated to 4.2 then the clients, as time allows. Any thoughts? Ray Baughman Engineering Systems Administrator TSM Administrator National Machinery Co.

Claudio, et al ... May I suggest this is a Records Management issue more than a technical issue Is the 'backup' data of any ongoing value to the enterprise?

Bad tape
Is there a procedure to replace the data on a tape that has went bad? We use 3590 tapes on our AS/400 side and they are known to break the tape or just become unusable for some reason. We haven't had a bad tape on the PC side yet. We use a library that has the tapepool tapes in it and have our copypool tapes in the vault. I know it will happen one day and I need some way to replace the data that was on the unusable tape either from the library or from the vault. Server is a WinNT4 running 4.1.3. Thanks...

Re: TSM Versions
You should migrate to the TSM 4.2 server, first, then follow with the clients. While the 3.7 clients are not officially supported with the 4.2 server, in theory they should work (although you won't get all the new 4.2 function until the clients are also upgraded). Caveat: if you experience a problem with a 3.7 client functioning with a 4.2 server, then before reporting the problem to support, I would recommend that you first upgrade the client to the 4.2 level and see if the problem still exists. Being that the 3.7 client and 4.2 server is not officially supported, that is most likely the first thing support would ask you to do, anyway. Also note that not every 3.7 client platform is supported in version 4.2 (example: Windows 95). In such an instance, you should consider upgrading the OS (I know this is far more easily said than done) or using the 4.1 client version (if one exists) for that platform.

Volume out of sync
I have a volume that is out of sync. I did a AUDIT VOLUME XX, and it listed all the errors. The AUDIT ran successfully and did not list any damaged files but said that the were objects that need updating. A typical error in the ACTLOG was: 07/30/01 09:36:14 ANR2337W Need to reset header size for object .4739469, verb type (93), from (0) to (248). 07/30/01 09:36:15 ANR4131W Audit Volume found incorrect object information for volume L00039: Node RSERVER01, Type SpaceMg, File space /600_archive, File name /TAC98/tac980062.tar.Z. 07/30/01 09:36:15 ANR2337W Need to reset header size for object .4739470, verb type (93), from (0) to (248). What should I try.AUDIT VOLUME L00039 FIX=YES, or RESTORE VOLUME L00039 ? ( I previewed the restore and have a list of tape that I'll need from the offsite vault.) Will the AUDIT VOLUME pull infomation from the database and backup tape pools or will it still require copypool tapes? Open to suggestions Sam Schrage TRW Systems 615-360-4716 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Teaching others TSM
Francisco, I found that good company-specific documentation is a must; as is an enthusiastic student! I inherited ADSM from a former employee who gave me a brief overview of the physical layout of the system. When the main library failed, and ADSM fell over dead pretending to be a trainwreck, I was totally lost. The ADSM Tech Support folks spent *hours* on the phone with my helping dig out of those problems (note to ADSM Tech Support - thank you VERY much!). Fast forward three years and I've had to teach the system to my co-workers. This is what I rely upon beyond the Tivoli documentation: - a data flow diagram that show where the data comes from and where it goes. - an operations procedure that describes *in detail* how to perform the routine tape handling tasks. - a daily surveillance procedure that describes *in detail* how to check the health of the system and what to do if it isn't healty. Good luck.

Re: HELP - Solaris backup problem!
Dwight, You thought correctly: specify domain in dsm.opt, not in dsm.sys! But, the default domain is all_local fs, so normally one doesn't need to specify domain... anyway! Perhaps your automatic backups are not being run by a priviledged user or you have some client schedule(s) that include a domain option? Check to ensure that - dsmc schedule command is invoked by root @ clients w/ missing fs backups - schedules with which clients are associated do not restrict domain Otherwise, unless you get better responses, I would check w/ TSM support.

Re: ANE4017E - too many symbolic links were detected while resolving name ...
Zosimo, I've been a victim of that also, and on Irix. It can kill your system by filling up the log very fast. The fix is to use client 3.1.0.7 or later and use the switch ARCHSYMLinkasfile No. Otherwise you end up with circular link definitions. We fought that for a year before that client version and switch were released.

Re: Bad tape
The RESTORE VOLUME command is used for this. Use it with preview=yes and it won't actaully do restore. Then look at actlog and you will see what tapes are needed to actually do the restore including tapes in vault. I have used this many times to restore broken/bad tapes. Note with the dynamics of *SM when you get tapes back tomorrow , you may stilkl need more tapes sometimes as reclamation has moved data to another tape. May take a 2nd retrieve from vault to get all. Doesn't happen too often though. I wait till late in day to run and get list of tapes needed ffrom vault to improve the chances of one request doing the whole job. David B.

SUBFILE Techonical Details?
Is there anywhere that I can find the technical details on how SUBFILE works? For example.. - what does it use the local cache for? - if I have 20GB of backup data, how does it use the 10MB cache area? - what if I delete the local cache? - does TSM always backup the differences, or is it smart enough to say this difference file is 50% (for example) of the original so I'll back it all up! - does it do a full backup every now again anyway? - should compression and subfile be used together? It would be really nice to see all these questions and more answered in one paper... Regards /gjs
