Re: reclaimation pool/volume question.
Storage pools of type DISK are random access, i.e. everything can randomly be stored there. Over disk devices you can have a filesystem and files in it to be treated as sequential volumes. You can think of them as virtual tapes where the directory is the library and the files are tapes. Thus for storage pool of type FILE normal reclamation policies and facts apply. Why to reclaim the pool used for reclamation or access it sequentially?! The MAXSIze parameter is for maximum file size to be stored in THIS storage pool. Otherwise if the file is bigger it goes down the storage hierarchy, i.e. goes direct to next storage pool which is normally tape pool. If you set maxsize limit to the reclamation pool at least I cannot predict but am expecting that reclamation for volumes containing files larger than your limit will never happen. Better do not do it or test it extensively. The question is what to be the size of the reclamation pool! Size of a volume will work for sure but ... let's make some calculations: Having reclamation threshold of XX % and (max) volume size of YY GB Volume eligible for reclamation will contain at least XX% freed space or no more than (100 - XX) % data. So we will be able to move the data to a reclamation pool with size of only (1 - XX/100) * YY GB !! Or with real numbers - for example reclamation threshold of 80 % and DLT8000 tapes with compression up to 3:1 The max size of a volume is 120 GB and at least 80% of it are free. Data left on the tape will be no more than 24GB and reclamation pool of this size will work. The volume becomes empty and it data is written somewhere else (or even on it but from the beginning and we are having transition ==> ==> ). BUT this is having a drawback - it will increase the number of mounts. Going back to the real example: Let's have five tapes (V01 - V05) to be reclaimed and single drive. 1. We will mount tape V01, read all data from it and write it back. 2. Mount tape V02, read it 3. Mount tape V01, write data from V02 4. Mount V03, read 5. Mount V01, write 6. Mount V04, read 7. Mount V01, write 8. Mount V05, read 9. Mount V01, write Thus we got 3 more mounts of V01. If we have larger reclamation pool we will have read of V01, V02, V03, V04, V05 and single write to let say V01. And have another think in mind - in the example 5 times 20% data were 100%. But for reclamation threshold 85% (15% data) we will have 6 2/3 volumes for a new one to fill. The seventh volume will mount twice - first 10% data going to first reclaimed volume and the rest (5%) to second volume. If we round up those 6 2/3 to 7 times and assure reclamation pool at least 7x15 = 105% of max volume size we can avoid even this double mounting. All this is just my theoretical thoughts but very soon I will have prove them in real life (I forgot to mention in my last post about 7337 library that it is with only one drive :-0 ) That's from me.

Re: passwordaccess -- does it affect scheduled ops?
With the older versions of the TSM NT client the scheduler was dependent on passwordaccess generate. But with the new Wizard's there is an option to install the scheduling service and supply a password just for the scheduler. Not sure if that adds the passwordaccess entry into the options file, I would run through the wizard and try only supplying a password for the scheduler and not for the regular backup-archive client. -- Joshua S.

Boyer Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 6:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: passwordaccess -- does it affect scheduled ops? I wanted to limit the number of people who can fire up the TSM GUI on some NT boxes and start restoring files. I thought the best way to do this was to set the passwordaccess option to 'prompt', and then give the password to only a select few. My only concern is that this may affect scheduled operations somehow. We're using TSM 4.2, and during the client installs, we had problems starting up the scheduler as an NT service. This was "solved" by setting up the scheduler again -- but not changing any settings. So, it's kind of finicky. Anyway, some of these servers with the TSM client in 'prompt' mode have been rebooted, and still seem to be backing up fine on their schedules. So, my question is, does the passwordaccess option affect scheduled operations at all, or does it just control how one is authenticated when using the GUI. many thanks, adam

Re: large client multi-streamed backups
Len, In many cases, all files are grouped under the same filespace, but are to be split off into multiple backup sessions beneath that. For example: Session 1 /usr/oracle/ad/dev/sys/sys01 /usr/oracle/dev/data/rtdat0t01.db /usr/oracle/dev/index/rtdat0i01.db /usr/oracle/dev/data/rtdat0t04.db /usr/oracle/dev/index/rtdat0i04.db /usr/oracle/dev/rollbk/rbs01.db /usr/oracle/dev/data/rtusr0t01.db Session 2 /usr/oracle/dev/data/rttmp0t01.db /usr/oracle/ad/dev/log/redo01.db /usr/oracle/dev/log/redo01a.db /usr/oracle/ad/dev/log/redo02.db /usr/oracle/dev/log/redo02a.db /usr/oracle/ad/dev/log/redo03.db /usr/oracle/dev/log/redo03a.db /usr/oracle/ad/dev/controlfile/ctrl01.db /usr/oracle/dev/sys/ctrl02.db Both sessions are to each back up files from under the /usr/oracle/ad and the /usr/oracle/dev directory paths. These directory paths also contain files of other databases that will be active during the backup, so wildcards cannot be used, in order to avoid active files. For now, the only way I can see to do this is to set up a separate schedule for each group, and specify each file individually in the OBJECTS field. But isn't there a cleaner way to do this?

Re: how to backup to a second backuppool?
1. Make the default management class point to backuppool2 (actually the backup copy group under that management class) 2. Create a second management class that points to backuppool1 and configure a client options to point this data to this management class. 3. It is actually the copygroup under that management class that controls where the data goes, but the files are associated with a particular management class. If the filespaces are unique, such as /*_shm , this can be done on the server. Most of the time is must be put in the include exclude file on the client.

Tan Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 2:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how to backup to a second backuppool? I have two virtual libraries in my automated tape library (SpectraLogic 64000/Gator). I can define two libraries, two tape device classes, etc., etc., in TSM 4.1.3 I can even define two "backuppool" disk spools, one for each library. What I can't seem to figure out is how to get data backed up to the second backuppool, call it backuppool2. Right now, all data gets backed up to backuppool1. Where is it that I can determine which backuppool I want my nodes backed up to? In other words, I want some nodes to go to backuppool1, and the rest to go to backuppool2.

passwordaccess -- does it affect scheduled ops?
I wanted to limit the number of people who can fire up the TSM GUI on some NT boxes and start restoring files. I thought the best way to do this was to set the passwordaccess option to 'prompt', and then give the password to only a select few. My only concern is that this may affect scheduled operations somehow. We're using TSM 4.2, and during the client installs, we had problems starting up the scheduler as an NT service. This was "solved" by setting up the scheduler again -- but not changing any settings. So, it's kind of finicky. Anyway, some of these servers with the TSM client in 'prompt' mode have been rebooted, and still seem to be backing up fine on their schedules. So, my question is, does the passwordaccess option affect scheduled operations at all, or does it just control how one is authenticated when using the GUI. many thanks, adam
Re: Does TSM 4.2 support an IBM 3583 library (6 drives)

Re: Defining 3584 Library to TSM on AIX
We had some problems too, we saw all the drives, but no library. (and it is /dev/smc0) The sollution was to reset de first drives, or easier to reset the library (power off/on) After that, the cfgmgr saw the library and all the drives.

What problems are you having? Take a closer look at Appendix A of the TDP for Lotus Domino User's Guide. You can access it here: http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/storage_mgr/v3pubs/v1_html/domwntc/a68wtfrm.htm Also, Chapter 4 of the redbook has a section on TDP for Lotus Domino scheduling. The redbook can be found at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/ The redbook publication number is: SG24-5247 Thanks, Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It's a beautiful day.

Hi, take a look at the GC35-0409-01 (TSM for Windows Quick Start - R4V2), Appendix D - "Setting up clustering". I haven't done that myself, but you'll find some step-by-step information on cluster configuration with TSM.
