Restore Linux filesystem, RedHat 7.1
I need to restore / filesystem of Linux RedHat 7.1 on a different machine. I have a new machine with just Linux 7.1 and TSM client on it. I want to restore / filesystem from a similar machine to this new machine. I know how to do restore from one node to another, but since it is / filesystem, restore does not work.

Re: Tapes autodefine

SINGLE DRIVE BACKUP STGPOOL/RECLAIM/TDRM
Hello everyone, We have a TSM Server 4.1.3 running on AIX 4.3.3. We have a 3494 tape library with only one 3590 tape drive. We need to perform Storage Pool Backup of a primary TAPEPOOL (3590 devclass). I know that it is possible to define a device class FILE and a FILE_COPYPOOL associated to this device class. The next command would make a copy of the TAPEPOOL using the FILE_COPYPOOL: tsm> copy stgpool TAPEPOOL FILE_COPYPOOL My questions having in mind two important considerations: 1) We will use Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager. How do I manage DRM volumes? Copy Pool volumes are first created in disk (FILE devclass). How do I move data to a TAPE_COPYPOOL (3590 devclass)? Which volumes are going to be taken for DRMedia use? 2) We are performing SPACE RECLAMATION for primary stgpool TAPEPOOL using a device class type FILE. Can we use the same disk space for both reclamation and copy stgpool? Customer may be able to have up to 60 GB of disk space for this purpose. Any suggestion or other possible solution for this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

Recovery log filling
We have a Windows NT system with a large SQL Server database. We use TDP for Microsoft SQL Server 1.1 to run a full backup once a week, with no backups on other days. These backups start on Wednesday evenings and run into Thursday morning. Over the last couple of years the size of the backups has grown from about 10 gigabytes to about 13 gigabytes. Most of the data appears to the TSM server as a single enormous file. This worked consistenly until a few weeks ago, when we started seeing the recovery log fill up early Thursday mornings. This happened twice in three weeks with a 252 megabyte recovery log. After the second failure we enlarged the recovery log to 540 megabytes, in the hope that more than doubling the size would be enough to cope with a 30% increase in the size of the database backup. The recovery log filled up again this morning. Is there any way to figure out how much bigger the recovery log needs to be?
TDP for Exchange Questions
We are testing TDP for Exchange. From reading the redbook I see only TDP Buffers and TDP Buffsize as options that can be set to tune the performance. Further, when setting these using the GUI it appears no entry is made to the dsm.opt file in the TDP folder. Also, I didn't see a change in the registry. Questions? 1) Are these the only things I can set to tweak the performance? 2) When they are set are the set for scheduled backups as well? I am of course assuming yes but wonder just slightly because I can't find where they are being set? 3) Is there a way to get multiple backup and restore streams with the TDP for Exchange? 4) Any other pointers?

TSM and Extended format tapes.
Need some input on the following: How does TSM handles extended length cartridges. Our biggest concern is how does TSM track %full for recycle/reclaim processing? If we decide to use extended length cartridges on a NSM, It has been recommend we order them pre-labeled. So we absolutely do not want to mix extended length with standard length in the mainframe libraries. Any input or information is greatly appreciated.

Management class and TDP for Oracle with RMAN
Hello All. I'm trying to configure RMAN and need some help. My scenario is AIX 4.3, Oracle 8.1.6 and TDP for Oracle 2.2 64 bits. My question is if it is possible to have differents management classes when making backups with RMAN. In the TDP manual there's only reference to TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_2, 3 and 4 but only for the duplex copy option. I'd like to have one management class for archive log files (sending it to disk storage pools) and another for database files (sending it to tape storage pools). Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

Re: Scheduled Event Status when Pre or Post command fails
The Scheduled event is the backup, which was successful. The Pre-Post Schedule calls a script that runs outside the backup. The only time I have seen a failed TSM event due to failure of a Post schedule command was when the post schedule command hung due to a problem unrelated to TSM. The scheduled event was waiting for it's return code to continued, and finally reached it's commtimeout, which caused a report of failed.

Re: Restoration of multiple directories through command line?
I would assume the goal here is to speed the restoration process. The only way to guarantee that happens is to ensure you don't have tape contention during the restore. At the directory level that is hard unless you use multiple management classes and tape storage pools. This points out the larger problem in fine detail. If you want to do multiple simultaneous restores you must plan for them during backup. As manufacturers introduce 72GB drives, we're going to see enormous RAID sets (we are already seeing enormous sets but this will make them enormouser - new word my prerogative). You should/must break these large sets into multiple filespaces and then use collocate=filespace on your storage pools. I would guess the best restore times you are likely to see will be around 10GB/hour/stream. If you have a 360GB single filespace RAID set you can expect a restore time ~36 hours. You are being foolish to expect faster. The tape drive spec types will crawl out the woodwork and tell us that the drives can restore much more than that per hour. Sure, but unfortunately we're dealing with reality here and not the spec sheets. There are many other factors influencing how fast we move data. I know, I know, breaking the big drive into smaller ones means more management. As long as you don't ever need to restore it creating a mongo drive is easiest thing to do. Just remember you did this because you never were going to restore it. Try to remember that in the middle of the second day while you're trying to restore it. Let's bring some rationality back to our business. Bigger isn't always better. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Nicholas, I think this method doesn't help. I came across the same problem some time ago and didn't find a solution, too. The problem is: When using the GUI interface you can select any set of files and folders to be restored in ONE SESSION. When using the CL interface you only can select one tree to be restored. Now think of a situation where the files of your node are spread over 20 tapes. The first restore mounts 15 tapes, the second and third restore will mount some of those 15 tapes AGAIN for sure, so you loose a lot of time in comparison to the GUI method.

Re: OS/390 TSM usage of disk volumes
Hi Zoltan, As Rene has already mentioned - this is done to maximize parallism - so you have your performance maxed - if it did not work this way you would have a single stream of data being pulled off a volume - also causing a bottleneck on this particular HDA.

Re: OS/390 TSM usage of disk volumes
yes, it will use the 80 volumes and distributing the IOs is good for the global performance !

Re: Restoration of multiple directories through command line?
Nicholas, I think this method doesn't help. I came across the same problem some time ago and didn't find a solution, too. The problem is: When using the GUI interface you can select any set of files and folders to be restored in ONE SESSION. When using the CL interface you only can select one tree to be restored. Now think of a situation where the files of your node are spread over 20 tapes. The first restore mounts 15 tapes, the second and third restore will mount some of those 15 tapes AGAIN for sure, so you loose a lot of time in comparison to the GUI method.

OS/390 TSM usage of disk volumes
I have a question about how the OS/390 version of TSM utilizes disk storage pools and why and possible future impact. Currently, my disk "landing zone" storage pool has 38-individual DASD volumes, for a total of 90G+. I noticed that when I do a Q VOL STG=, that *EVERY* "volume" (i.e. data set) has something in it, rather than fill up one before going to another (this is a royal pain when trying to delete/add volumes, but that is a different story.). So, when doing migration from this pool to tape, it has to perform I/O's to 38 disk volumes as well as the tapes. I am getting ready to more than double this pool. Does this mean that TSM will scatter data across all 80+ volumes ? This seems like a lot of unnecessary overhead. Any thoughts on this ? === Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: 804-828-4807
Backupset Problems

Re: Error 137 from Signon Authentication
>From a problem I opened with Tivoli on this: "The tsm developer informed me that the message appearing 3 times in the dsierror.log is documented in the 4.2.1.0 client readme to come out soon. At that level, the message will only appear once. Then, in the next release of the client, should be 5.1 but subject to change, the message will not appear anymore." So you can ignore the message.

Re: Restoration of multiple directories through command line?
When I wanted to do this, I wrote a script to run the restore of each directory/filesystem, but I had to do it one at a time. The following would be my script with your filesystems on AIX: dsmc restore /oracle/stage/ -subdir=yes -inactive -pitd=09/02/01 read NOTHING dsmc restore /sapmnt/SA2/ -subdir=yes -inactive -pitd=09/02/01 read NOTHING dsmc restore /oracle/SA2/sapreorg/ -subdir=yes -inactive -pitd=09/02/01 read NOTHING The "read NOTHING" lines causes the script to pause for input (any keystroke) so I was able to verify the restore went without problems (on NT it would be "pause").

question about TDP for Oracle/RMAN vs. BMC's SQL BackTrack "dry run"
Hello all, does anyone know whether TDPO v2.2 allows for "dry run" restores &/or a preview of a restore to validate the media without writing the data, like SBT does? (I've perused the website & the Redbook, and don't see that it does.) thanks! lisa
How do I do this with TSM for Domino?
I am using TSM for Domino v1.1.1 on NT going to an OS/390 TSM Server v4.1.3. I would like to backup all our MAIL\ files each Saturday and then on Sunday backup all the OTHER directories in the Domino data directory. On Sunday I don't want to back up the MAIL\ directory again. Anybody got any suggestions? Here is an example of the directory structure... E:\NOTES.DTA -->\GLOBAL -->\LOCAL -->\MAIL -->\MORE1 -->\MORE2 -->\MORE3 -->\MORE30 So, I want to do E:\NOTES.DTA\MAIL on Saturday, and all the other directories, except \MAIL, on Sunday. I'd prefer not to hard code each of the directories for the Sunday backup as this does not allow for expansion, without changing the batch file. I can't use two different .OPT files, one with the \MAIL directory excluded, as this will expire all the previous versions of \MAIL files [won't it?]. Over to you guys... /gjs
