Question about Maxscratch (Collocate/No Collocate)
Hi For example I have two storage pools A and B with: A with nodes=12 maxscratch=4 collocate=yes B with nodes=10 maxscratch=3 collocate=no My question is about the order of filling the tapes. As I understand For Storage Pool A :Tape1 Node1 (Scratch 1) Tape2 Node2 (Scratch2) Tape3 Node3 (Scratch3) Tape4 Node4 (Scratch4) No more scratch tape (maxscratch=4). Now the next node5 will be on Tape1 and node6 on Tape2 etc till nodes12 The next backup of node1 will be on Tape1 etc . For Storage Pool B: Tape1 Node1 TO Node10 (scratch 1) till full then Tape2 etc . Did I understand right ??? T.I.A Regards Robert Ouzen E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Antwort: HELP! 2nd try - TDP for Lotus Domino
George, I did this before on an NT 4 box. We do an offline (Domino is shut down) backup on a weekly basis at Saturday. On Sunday we do an online backup. In between we backup the Domino transaction log every 4 hours. The Domino guys switched on this translog feature somewhere down in Domino. The translog is big. In 1 week we transport roundabout 25 GB ! We are on the way to reduce the amount of logged db`s and we can see the half of data . Good luck, Holger PS: Do you need further Info ? Contact me.

I have never dealt with Lotus Domino or Notes before. If I want to back this up using TDP for Lotus Domino, what would my Versions of Data Exists, Versions of Data Deleted, Retain Extra Version and Retain only Version be for the monthly backups since I don't think the TDP for Informix product supports archiving which would be simpler? What would these same properties be for a two week retention. How often will I need to back this server up for the two week backups if archivelogging is turned on. How big a logging space needs to be set up for 1200 users? Any tips would be very much appreciated.

Re: server thred terminated ANR7833S:segment voilation
ANR7834S Thread 45 (tid 2d40) terminating on signal 11 (Segmentation violation). please can anybody give solution for this. Its quite emergency. Muthyam - From my notes at http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts : Segmentation violation (Segfault) Also known as Signal 11 (SIGSEGV). Program failure in Unix caused a programming error: the program attempts to write to a region of memory to which it does not have access, as in writing past the end of an array due to failure to check bounds. You need to upgrade to a level of the program where the defect is fixed. You may be able to temporarily avoid the failure if you can identify the circumstances under which it occurs and stay away from that scenario. Richard Sims, BU
Re: Question about Maxscratch (Collocate/No Collocate)
No. With collocate you put a maximum of 1 node on 1 tape, so A is not possible, the 5th node does not have a scratchtape to use. With collocate every node have's a own set of tape(s), so you need less mounts when you restore, so the restores are faster. However, the migration and reclamation takes more time and it takes more tapes. With 12 nodes, you've got at leased 12 tapes 'filling'.

Re: Question about Maxscratch (Collocate/No Collocate)
Your assumption was correct...Collocate will attempt to place every new node onto a different scratch tape. If the tapepool is at max it will then use existing tapes defined within the pool.

Re: Question about Maxscratch (Collocate/No Collocate)
With collocate you put a maximum of 1 node on 1 tape... Only while it has the luxury of sufficient scratches, else it will co-mingle nodes. Refer to the Admin Guide, chapter on Managing Storage Pools and Volumes, topic How the Server Selects Volumes with Collocation Enabled. Richard Sims, BU
Re: Question about Maxscratch (Collocate/No Collocate)
Quote from the admin guide (Managing Storage Pools and Volumes): When collocation at the client node level is enabled for a storage pool (COLLOCATION=YES) and a client node backs up, archives, or migrates files to the storage pool, the server attempts to select a volume using the following selection order: 1. A volume that already contains files from the same client node 2. An empty predefined volume 3. An empty scratch volume 4. A volume with the most available free space among volumes that already contain data So - you're almost right - but Node 5 will pick the emptiest volume, not necessarily Tape1.

Re: Slow Restores on Netware
As much as I do agree with the shrug issue at times, I fail to see where the fact that restores take ages is actually connected to the Netware side. We have exactly the same issue, and with all the experts we'v had here testing it out, not one has been able to point to the Netware side being the problem, and every one has managed to find problems with the TSM side. Be it very slow tape access, bad indexing, etc. I would be wrong to point the finger specifically at the TSM, and would go as far as to say that TSM and Netware do not quite mesh as Netware and other backups software do, but that's something I'v been over before on this list. The slow restores I have on some of my NT servers...do I shrug and say NT ? And the Unix's ?

We regularly get 8-10gb/hour on Netware restores. These servers typically have 100+gb of disk 1 million+ files on them. Similar performance on NT.

They mean the tape drive was just cleaned. You will continue to get them

Re: 3590 Tape Drive Errors
Has anybody seen these errors before? IBM has been here many times replaced the read/write heads loaded the latest micro code on the drives but I keep getting them. Bruce - You can verify that the 3494 is actually doing cleanings by periodically running: mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL where the avail 3590 cleaner cycles should decrement over time. Air pollution and dust don't help matters. Consider having your CE do a periodic wet cleaning (a manual task, opening the drive), and note if the problem disappears after such a cleaning, to see if cleanliness is the issue - which the TAPE_DRIVE_CLEANING record would seems to indicate.

Re: 3590 Tape Drive Errors
Hi there
Well, we had many problems with load / unload errors for out 3590 tape
drives when they were installed (also in a 3494 library). The situation
went on for months with IBM coming out and replacing just about every part
of the drives. Eventually, they realised that each drive needed some sort
of special locking spring that holds the tapes firm for the picker-arm to
get/put tapes. These springs are not necessary in stand alone drives. It
was a simple fix and we have had no problems since.
This may have nothing to do with your problem at all, but it's working
asking IBM about.
Thanks

The drive is in a 3494 which is supposed to handle the cleaning (IBM set

Long Filename Error
We recently upgrade NT client from version 3.1.7 to 4.1.3. Since the upgrade we have had problems backing up some of our clients. Scheduled backups abort with the error of long filenames. However, the same files that we are having problems backing up with the new client used to be backuped with 3.1.7 with out any problems. When i try to do a restore the last time these files were backuped were with the old ADSM Client version.

Yep, Ive done that. It just takes time. A suggestion: When you back up the current copy of the ADSM data base, make a copy of the DEVCONFIG and VOLHIST files somewhere OTHER than their usual locations; they will be wiped out when you reload the backlevel DB, and you might want to refer to them when restoring going forward again. -Original Message- From: Page, Jennifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SUMMARY:Archive recovery Thanks.

Question about compression
We have 2 3580 drives with the 3583 changer. The devclass for these drives shows them being of format=ultriumc, which I assume means compressed. I have compression turned on at the clients. Are my drives also compressing, or is there more to setting up drive compression than formatting with the ultriumc option? When my tapes are first checked in they show estimated capacity of about 200GB, once they are used and full they show an estimated capacity of about 100GB. Also, is there a best way to compress, or does it differ depending on disk space, processor, backup window, etc. Thanks in advance, Jeff
Re: Archive recovery
Jennifer, You can, if you're a) lucky and b) a bit naughty. We've achieved such feats in extreme circumstances in the past by building a second TSM server partition and restoring an old TSM database backup from our main TSM server, and then trying to restore from that. If you're fortunate, the tape that the server will request the restore from, although 'expired' in the current database, will not have been written over with fresh data since then, and you'll be able to satisfy your restore. It helps if you have a large number of scratchtapes and not too high a turnaround.

Re: How would I archive given the following setup?
Our issue is that our policy is to keep 5 versions of all active files and this is not good enough for the users. They would like an archive to be performed for all of our servers (30+) on a monthly basis and would like these archives to be retained for 1 year each. Basically if I do an archive for August this year, that archive will be retained until August of next year. Yanki - You're getting confused over Backup vs. Archive. You can only keep a certain number of VERSIONS with a Backup Copygroup (Query Copy). With TSM Archive, retention is by period of time, as defined in the Archive Copygroup (Query Copy T=A). I'd recommend finding out exactly what your users are trying to achieve. Perhaps they don't understand the TSM philosophy, and believe that things have to be sent to the server periodically in order to stick around. This is to say that if you are doing incremental Backup, it isn't clear that you should also have to perform Archive operations. So find out what the users really need, and review your Backup Copygroup values, changing them if needed, or creating a separate Management Class for specific backup needs. Richard Sims, BU

Re: Long Filename Error
Without specific error message, I'm going to assume you're getting the same problem we have/had here. The new client is trying to do the short-to-long filename conversion and choking. We opened an ETR with Tivoli and the response was the 4.2 level of BOTH client and server will fix the problem with the conversion. In the mean time, you can either: 1. Specify MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES in the DSM.OPT file. This will prevent the client from doing the conversion. 2. Give the client a different nodename. The files will be backed up correctly using the long filename. No conversion is done in this case, BUT you'll get a full backup the first time. We've done a combination of the two, depending on the size of the client. Can't really afford to backup everything on some of them again.

Re: backup/restore question
You can make a Backupset. This is an internal TSM procedure, it makes a tape with the needed databaseinfo and active data. You can use the tape also on the client, without a tsm-server or keep it in the library and use it for a faster restore.

Re: I don't think she can hold much more Captain! She's gonna blow! (IBM LTO Tape)
I have seen exactly the same type of results. One of my customers routinely gets 250+GB per tape; and in one other instance my customer got 400+GB, similar to what you are experiencing. Compression results are a function of the type of data. If you are using collocation, the compressability becomes more obvious for the type of data because a given node is clustered on a cartridge. For example if your clients compress their data, you will find tape capacities much closer to 100GB. In my case, the 400+ GB client was an API database client that sent very compressable data. Remember that the total amount of data written to the tape only shows up when the tape is marked full. When it is filling, TSM will keep on writing to the tape and you will see the Estimated Capacity increase.

How would I archive given the following setup?
Hi everyone, I'm a little confused with the scheduling of archiving. I have one primary pool and one copy pool. Currently the copy pool is being sent offsite. Our issue is that our policy is to keep 5 versions of all active files and this is not good enough for the users. They would like an archive to be performed for all of our servers (30+) on a monthly basis and would like these archives to be retained for 1 year each. Basically if I do an archive for August this year, that archive will be retained until August of next year. I am a little confused as to how I am to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: I don't think she can hold much more Captain! She's gonna blow!(IBM LTO Tape)
I am not familiar with your tape units but when I started using Exabyte Mammoth2 scsi drives and tapes, 60gb native, 150gb compressed I saw exactly the same thing. Then the hammer dropped! I started getting some fsr (forward search record) errors. In compressed mode the tapes were able to hold more blocks of data than the the scsi command set could count in it's 3 byte counter. My data was being lost along the way. The problem is now documented and will be fixed in a future release. The only work around was to use non-compressed format. In my case, format is M2 instead of M2C. If this is also your problem you need to correct it pronto because your tpe storage pool is losing client data!

Re: Long Filename Error
Bill, are you referring to a NetWare short-too-long file name conversion issue? I am not aware of any problems on NT -- especially any that would cause an abort -- with regard to handling longer file names (greater than 259 characters) once you have the fix for IC27346 in place. The only caveat is that USEUNICODEFILENAMES NO must be specified in the dsm.opt file for long file name support to work. Perhaps that is Kelil's problem? The issue with long file names is documented in APAR IC27346, and was fixed in a 3.7.2 fixtest, and 4.1.1 and up. You just need to be sure you have USEUNICODEFILENAMES NO in dsm.opt. The 3.1 Windows client never handled the long file names correctly. For more info on this, you can search the ADSM-L archives at www.adsm.org. Just use a search criterion of IC27346 (without the quotes), and you should find the appropriate information. Kelil, if you are using USEUNICODEFILENAMES NO and the backup is actually aborting with a message about long file names, you should contact IBM/Tivoli support for assistance. Actually, you should contact them regardless of the USEUNICODEFILENAMES setting, since TSM should just skip the long file names if the option is not set to NO; it should not cause an abort.

Re: Your response to my LTO tape questions.
Jim, I have seen this before, even on TSM 4.2 and I don't know under what circumstances this 100% statistic arises. I believe it to be an error. I have not experienced the SCSI error referred to by Steve Bennett in his posting on LTO tapes (reclamation processing of these large tapes worked fine). The APAR that covers his problems specifically refers to 8mm Mammoth 2 tapes where more than 268GB is written. Perhaps someone from development can comment further if the APAR applies to other device types.
