Rename file on ADSM
Hi there I need to know if anyone has renamed the DB2/UDB filespace name on ADSM. I am using the API to back up the DB2 database. I am aware when using the API, ADSM keeps only one filespace name. Full database backups are done on a daily basis of the DB2/UDB database. My intention is to rename the file on a daily basis with the date and time. I have done test's and can rename the file on ADSM but when I try to restore the data the DB2 database does not know about this data on ADSM. We currently keep 3 months of data for DB2. The reason I need to rename the file as I want to use the export command to keep certain UDB data for two years offsite. Current ADSM server version is 3.1.2.5 and client version is 3.1.20.7 Thks Sean Ramnarayan ADSM Administrator EDS South Africa

Re: cannot cancel a session
I actually opened a PMR on this same problem (PMR#45713,519) and they told me that (this is almost a direct quote) "...that is the way it works." In asking, of course, they wouldnt put any of that in writing, but here is some text cut out from the PMR itself... Action Taken:Explained that Select statements are database intensive and use up a lot of resources. Depending on complexity of the query it quite possible for the server to hang. If cancel session doesn't work then recycling Tsm is the only way out. Customer wants something in writing confirming this. Directed to the Admin Guide: Monitoring TSM server subsection entilted Using Sql to Query the TSM DB, issuing select commands where it states that complicat ed queries can interfere with normal server operations. The problem I was having is that a select that worked on one system would hang on another. According to the Admin Guide, it is perfect acceptable to cancel that session with another administrator session; however from what I have seen I wouldnt recommend it - unless you have the time to cycle your TSM_server process. -Dustin = Dustin Hamilton; EDS Auburn Hills SMC; Enterprise Backup and Restore Phone: 248/276.5717 Pager: 248/316.5089 Schedule and more info: http://205.239.25.218/ Backup Client Software: ftp://205.239.25.218/ = eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Text-Pager: [EMAIL PROTECTED] = -Original Message- Date:Sun, 16 Sep 2001 16:17:59 -0700 From:Joel Fuhrman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: cannot cancel a session My experience is that the select processes all the data.

Re: Defrag Database
Maurice, Delete the "spacetrigger made volumes" and the data on these database volumes will be moved to other database volumes. You may have to create some more database volumes of your own first but since you are only using 43.2 % of your database now there should be enough space.

Re: Defrag Database
I just had a thought. If you defined new dbvols and deleted the previous dbvols, that would move the db data over to the new volume. Could that possibly defrag the db at the same time? I would expect so because the manual says you can cancel the delete dbvol process, but some of the data may have moved. It makes sense to me that this implies it moves db objects, not just vast tracts of raw dbspace. Any thoughts? (Andy? Are you out there? Any chance on developer feedback on this one?)

You should be more worried about reclaiming the tape space than how you are going to restore/recover your databases if your RMAN catalog is lost. :} If you lost your RMAN catalog, you can rebuild another one, and re-register your target database. Your target control file has backup piece information. During the database registering process, these backup piece information will be stored in RMAN catalog again. There are two ways to reclaim your tape: 1. You can run RMAN delete command to delete the data from TSM server through TDPO. 2. Sometimes, you end up having more backup piece entries on the TSM server than RMAN catalog. TDPO 2.2 has a utility called tdposyn to reclaim tape in this kind of situation. All the information mentioned above except SQL statements are documented in the TDPO 2.2 user manual.

Bare Metal Restore sizing.
Hi All. Has anyone of you ever sized an BMR solution? I have several doubts about it. A) Space requirements for BMR software installation TKG says the following: "The BMR server requires 4 megabytes of disk space plus approximately 1 KB of disk space for every 2 clients. Each Boot image on the Boot Server will require 100 to 800 KB of disk space." How much space am I going to need for each boot image? Is a boot image created for each of my clients? if so, am BMR is going to backup a boot image each time the client is backed up? in this case I have to calculate the space on disk according the backup policies for each one of my clients. or am I going to create ONLY one boot image per platform I 'm going to backup (one image for SUN, another for NT, another for AIX)? This way I'm going to use much less space than the above scenario. How often are the boot images refreshed? How BMR is going to realize that a client has upgraded its OS, when others have not? B) Shared Root Tree For the SRT TKG states: "Each Shared Root Tree (SRT) on the File server will require 200 to 400 MB of disk space". The same questions as above. Is a SRT created each time a client is backed up? I've calculated the space Im going to need considering I have 6 clients (2 sun, 2 aix and 2 NTs), also that I only need one boot image per platform (3 in this case), and also one SRT per platform too. This makes a total of 606 MB. Are this calculations right? BMR Server BMR Server 1 4MB BMR Client 6 3.0Kb Boot Server Boot image 3 2MB File Server Shared Root Tree (SRT) 3 600 MB Total 606MB Thanks in advance. = "Do or Do Not, there is no try" -Yoda.

Re: Defrag Database
The question is "what is a reorg?" I would think moving the db to a new volume would just move the db blocks - not changing their contents. It would collapse the unused db blocks, but I think this would be different result than a unload/load, which would recreate all db objects. Kind of like the difference between moving a logical volume to a different disk and defraging a filesystem. On a move logical volume the physical partitions are moved, but their contents are left alone. To defrag the filesystem requires tinkering with the contents of the physical partition. Just a guess . . . . Rick On 17 Sep 2001, at 9:42, Alex Paschal wrote: > I just had a thought.

DNS Domain change effect on TSM
Our current internal network has a bunch of dns domains resulting from poor planning, mergers, etc. A decision has been made to re-domain(?) our network. We are going to move all our network under one new domain. IP numbers are NOT changing, just the domain. The plan is to put all hosts in the the new domain, and keep the old domain around for a while. This should allow for a quick conversion, but eliminate a big-bang conversion. I'm interested in issues/thoughts/comments on problems with TSM that might come up in relation with this domain change. Thanks Rick

Well, in the following environment Session established with server TSMSRV10: Solaris 2.6 Server Version 4, Release 1, Level 4.0 Server date/time: 09/17/01 14:27:09 Last access: 09/17/01 14:25:39 I've found that a "show archive " of a node that was renamed will kill the tsm server every time ! seems to work OK on straight nodes... only on a node that I renamed does it kill the tsm server process. Not worth calling into tivoli since "show archive" is an unsupported, undocumented, debug command. Just throught I'd pass along advance notice ! "Kids, don't try this at home!" ;-) Dwight
DLT M1500, DLT8000 advice needed
Hi, We want to buy DLT M1500 tape library (with DLT8000 tape drives) to be used for ADSM Version 3.1 server on AIX 4.1 but I would like to confirm that ADSM 3.1 supports DLT M1500 before we buy it. Could someone help me confirm that? Thanks in advance for your help, Mira Jung [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DLT M1500, DLT8000 advice needed
I would be very surprised if ADSM V 3.1 supports the drives in question. That is a very old release. Also, if the library is new, it is unlikely that support for it will be there as well. Kelly J.

STORServer Backup Appliance Tool & Manager
We are looking into a product called STORServer Manager, an interface with client status reporting, tape management and scheduling control that layers on top of TSM to increase its functionality and ease-of-use. The STORServer backup appliance integrates a backup server, tape library, disk cache and operator display, including TSM, and STORServer Manager. Does anyone have any knowledge (pros or cons) of this backup solution? Thanks!

empty tape question
Hi, I have a question about empty tapes needed when TSM does reclamation or migration. We have some empty tapes inside the library and some are outside. How do I force TSM to use the inside one? I found it requested to mount outside empty tapes even there were still some inside the library. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Phillip Guan
