Problem with german "umlaut" in Linux-Client?
Hi together, I didnt find something in the list-archive related to the new versions. Is there a known problem with TSM-Client for Linux 4.2.1.0 and german umlauts (äÄöÖüÜ,ß)? We have TSM-Server 4.1.3.0 on OS/390 2.10. The Linux version is SuSE 7.3.

Antwort: Help please with collocation
Hi Farren, the main reason to backup data is to be prepared to restore them. If you want to make your restore faster, collocation is a good option. In an Enviroment without collocation, data for one client will spread over all tapes in the tapepool. At restore TSM will do this for every tape: Mount tape, wind forward to data location, read data, rewind tape, unmount tape. With collocation enabled you will reduce the number of tape mounts, this will save a reasonable amount of restore time. If you backup incremental only the data needed for restore are not continous on tape and this will happen at restore: Mount tape, wind forward to data location, read data, wind forward to next data location, read data ... (doing this for every little piece of data) ..., rewind tape, unmount tape. Make an extra selective backup from time to time to avoid/reduce this. It will make your restore even faster. Greetings Jan Möwe Farren Minns Kopie: Gesendet von:Thema: Help please with collocation "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] RIST.EDU> 19.11.2001 12:34 Bitte antworten an "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Hello again TSMers I have some another questions, this time regarding collocation. At present we are backing up 21 client nodes and have a backup pool made up of DISKPOOL and TAPEPOOL. Then we have our off-site volumes, imaginatively entitled COPYPOOL. I am thinking that we do not necessarily need to use collocation for all of our nodes; maybe just for five or six of our more important ones (we do backup sets for these as well). The questions are as follows:- 1) What are peoples thoughts on collocation in the first place. Is it generally a good idea? Any thoughts really? 2) Secondly, can someone tell me a good, clean, simple way of achieving only collocating certain clients. 3) Also, baring in mind that at present, we back up all clients to one COPYPOOL, what would be the implications of a) moving some clients to a new backup COPYPOOL (what happens to all the data currently stored on the original COPYPOOL and b) turning off collocation for the original COPYPOOL (i.e. would this lead to a very long reclamation run). There is probably a lot more inf. that I should have included here, but I am relatively new and probably don't know the questions to ask. Thanks again and I look forward to any help you can all give me. All the best Farren Minns
Re: Delay on script
No, he was right, the script goes on when the DB backup is ended. But when the DB backup is ready, it starts to dismount the tape. It doesn't wait until it's dismounted. I think a sleep command is usefull in many scripts I make the scripts in AIX, there i've got more options and can make if/then's etc. Regards, Maurice - Original Message - From: "Mark Stapleton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 10:55 PM Subject: Re: Delay on script On Fri, 16 Nov 2001 10:45:18 +0200, it was written: >I wrote a script to make a Database Snapshot (with wait=yes) and a checkout >of this tape.

Please!:A Temp-File COPY POOL Solution
Hi Everybody. Thank you for precedent answers ! I try to to be more understandable !! Here's the new problem: We have a 120GB Disk for pool (like 1 tape capacity) We would like, each day, to Copy the Archive Pool to a FILE POOL on this disk (remote disk). Parallely we will continue to use a regular tape for copy pool. After the Copy Tape is full we'll like to empty the DISK POOL and to begin to backup on the new tape and on the Empty Disk every day. This method has the advantage to save data on a remote computer (network connected) that can be in another place every day and ASSURE that we cannot lose more than ONE day info. Even if the Library Box is burned! For sure we need to be sure that we can recover from the DISK POOL the stored info there. Is there a solution ? Is there a trick ?

IF your routing on the ATL's pc isn't right, you can see a message such as that.

One server, two ip-addresses
Hello, Does anybody know if a single TSM server can listen on different ip-adresses (on different nic's) ? Or do you need to run multiple instances on one machine ? TSM Server Config example : Listening for backup data on NIC1 : 192.168.10.10:1500 and on NIC2 : 10.10.10.10:1500 + other nic for normal lan traffic Just wondering if adding extra LAN cards in every client to increase the total bandwith, is a cheap alternative for SAN environments. For example : client config with 3 NIC's : NIC1 : regular client traffic NIC2 : for online database backup (scheduler 1) (backup lan 1) NIC3 : for backup of regular file (scheduler 2) (backup lan 2) 2 x 100 Mbit bandwith to backup Any remarks about this ? I agree, it isn't a good alternative, but I was just wondering if this is possible ? Thanks ! Wouter Verschaeve

Audit Library doesn´t complete
Hi fellow TSM admins/lovers/friends, We´ve scheduled an Audit Library to run every day on our TSM 4.2 for AIX with IBM LTO drives. The Audit starts succesfully but this process won´t complete. The day after we still see this Audit Library process as active and this disrupts our other schedules, like archives and migration because they both need acces to the drives. The only way we can free the drives for the other schedules is to Cancel the Audit Library process Since the Actlog doesn´t show errors on the Audit schedule we can´t figure out what the problem might be.

move server
Hello, actually we have 3 tsm - server on OS/390 and 1 tsm -server on W2K. Now we want to consolidate all these server to one on SUN Solaris, but the tapes will stay in th same library with the same devices. How can I move these server to SUN Solaris without copy a lot of data physically, because this will need a long time and a lot amount of tape drives? Can I backup the database and restore it on SUN Solaris to avoid coping the data ? Or can I use server to server connection in any usefull way ? In the case I have to install a new tsm server so the data on the old one will expire: How does the old tsm server know there are new versions of files on the new one?

Re: Audit Library doesn t complete

bare metal recovery for NT2000
hello all out there, BMR related questions seem to repeat periodically and good solutions are not obvious. I would like to share results of my trivial search after tools for TSM related BMR of W2000: - virtually no support in current TSM clients, if any - rumours about BMR (either additional functionality or additional module$$) in the next version of TSM, maybe adoption of the Kernel Group´s solution, maybe Tivoli´s own solution. - currently available BMR from Kernel group looks good, its limitation could be its high costs, and for some of us the necessity to install an additional unix-based BMR-server applikation. - there is currently available BMR solutions in different simpler backup packages (not TSMM-related). I gave a look to Pc-Bax from Cristie, Germany, because I know older versions of this simple but good backup program, and I liked the support as well. They currently do have a usefull BMR module but without TSM connectivity. They had TSM-conectivity in the past and they claim to offer this module soon again. They are much cheaper than the solution from Kernel Group. For those interested I will likely test this in january or february, but I currently do not know more details, so please if you have questions do contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cristie.com I posted his name here with allowance from Mr. Svensson / Sweeden who implemented mixed scenario of Pc-Bax and TSM. His solutions is shortly desribed further, in appended copy of his mail. best regards Juraj Salak Asamer Familienholding [EMAIL PROTECTED] Austria -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 9:51 AM To: Salak Juraj Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM and PC-BaX Dear Mr. Salak!

Right now PC-BaX dose´nt have support to backup directly to TSM Server. But we have talk to Tivoli and to Cristie in UK and we going to get a TSM Module shortly. But the work around right now looking like this. 1) TSM takes backup on D:, E: and et c. 2) PC-BaX takes backup on C: every Sunday or more often.

But how is the Recovery works? 1) You run a normal PC-BaX DR (Disaster Recovery) and after that PC-BaX is automaticloy starts TSM restore or the TSM Client. How do I configur PC-BaX to do this. 1) Mr. Tillmann can help you to configure the PC-BaX disketts. 2a) You create one CMD file in to the PC-BaX directory with name TSM.CMD 2b) Edit the CMD file and type in @Echo Off CD \ CD "Program Files\TSM" Net start "TSM Client Acceptor" Net start "TSM Scheduler" DSMC restore \\servername\d$\path\path\* -subdir=yes 3) And edit CBM.INI and insert this too linje in the bottom.

Re: One server, two ip-addresses
Configuration depends on the platform. For instance, we found that on AIX the interfaces had to be configured on the command line and not with SMIT. A minor annoyance when an interface goes down in the middle of the night and you're trying to remember the proper syntax.

Re: Statistics problem with TSM backup.
Sreekumar, What is your Maximum Size Threshold set to for your diskpool? If it is set low and you have files that exceed that setting, they will be sent directly to your next storage pool (3575_AFS, 3575_ARCH, or 3575_BKUP) which will affect the disk storage pool utilization.

Re: BMR for Win2k: Use of NTBACKUP
In a standard Win2k environment bare metal recovery using TSM doesn't work. Of course, the Kernel Group BMR is a great tool, but expensive. We're investigating another (free) method: Use NTBACKUP for a backup of all system objects into a file on your harddisk (about 250MB), do a TSM incremental afterwards that includes the NTBACKUP file and skip the system objects (BACKUPREGISTRY NO). The commandline for NTBACKUP (thanks to Stefan Holzwarth/ADAC) is: NTBACKUP BACKUP SYSTEMSTATE /F "targetfilename" /L:s /J "your comment" During restore you can setup a standard Win2k and restore all files from TSM. Instead of restoring the system objects you just restore the NTBACKUP file and let NTBACKUP finalize the restore of the system objects.

Re: Please!:A Temp-File COPY POOL Solution
If the remote computer is a TSM server or you have SANergy and maybe with the SAN client you can delete the remote storage pool with the discard=yes and it should get rid of everything. I have not tried this in this scenario. Then redefine the storage pool and perform another copy. However, you are vulnerable for the time it takes to redo the copy. I am not sure why you are not just keeping two copy pools (one local and one remote) in synchronization with the primary. You would define a file device class on the remote system. -Original Message- From: Michel David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 5:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Please!:A Temp-File COPY POOL Solution Hi Everybody.

Informix restore using TSM
Hello; We are in a 3-tier environment: Server1 - Informix Database 7.24 UC5 and TSM 4.1.1 server Server2 - Baan IVb3 The TSM client on Server1 (that Informix connects with) is using an old [ADSM] version...3.8 - I believe? This was done because it was the only way Informix would connect to TSM without having to purchase TDP for Informix. (not my choice, nor was I part of that decision) Anyway... This morning Server1 crashed - we lost the I/O board. While I await IBM's arrival with the replacement part I am contemplating the worst...having to restore Informix. I am fairly new to this job and have never restored Informix (or anything else for that matter) with TSM. Three years ago when Informix and ADSM were brought online a full database restore was preformed and it was successful...but other than that I do not believe it has been done since. The person who was incharge of TSM and Informix "abruptly" left the firm and I got "stuck" administering them. ;) If anyone out there has ever preformed an Informix restore would you be so kind and to provide me with some steps. I'd welcome any help anyone has to offer at this point. Thank you; Theresa
Re: Future Share Requirement: W2K 4.2.1 Desktop Archive Client ba cks up files that are unmodified
Well, technically speaking, SELECTIVE and MODE=ABSOLUTE are not identical: - SELECTIVE backup backs up everything that is not excluded via EXCLUDE (INCLUDE/EXCLUDE processing is *always* honored). On the other hand, if you use multiple management classes and not all of them have MODE=ABSOLUTE, then only those files that are bound to the management class with MODE=ABSOLUTE will be backed up if they haven't changed. For example, if I have two management classes, MGMTA with MODE=MODIFIED and MGMTB with MODE=ABSOLUTE, and I have something like this: include *:\...\* MGMTA include c:\mydir\...\* MGMTB Then if I run an incremnetal backup, the MODE=ABSOLUTE will only apply to the files in C:\MYDIR. On the other hand, a SELECTIVE backup of C:\ with -SUBDIR=YES will back up all files regardless of whether they have changed (except files that are excluded). - When using MODE=ABSOLUTE, the client will not attempt to back up files that are excluded. When using SELECTIVE, TSM will try to back up everything in the file specification, including files that are excluded These files will get a message saying that they are skipped because they are excluded. This is arguably the only real virtue of using MODE=ABSOLUTE vs. SELECTIVE backup: the former doesn't generate the "file skipped due to exclude" message, while the latter does. But as long as it is understood why the "file skipped" messages appear, this is a minor nit. So no, the internal processing is not *identical*, but for all practical intents and purposes, you can make them behave similarly. If the user wants to back up his entire machine with local drives C:, E:, and F:, then the following command will work: dsmc s c:\ e:\ f:\ -subdir=yes This will back up all files, except those that are excluded. If you set all management classes so that MODE=ABSOLUTE, then the following command: dsmc i c: e: f: will also back up all files, except those that are excluded. If you prefer the SELECTIVE method, then for users who want weekly full backups and daily incremental backups (the traditional "full + incremental" approach), you could create a schedule with ACTION=SELECTIVE OBJECTS="C:\ E:\ F:\" OPTIONS="-SUBDIR=YES" that runs only once a week, say, on Saturday. If you have another schedule that runs incrmental backups Monday - Friday, then you can associate users to both schedules, and the full + incremental backups are fully automated.

So it looks like the mechanism is to setup for modified and when you need a full backup use a selective specifying the entire client file system. I think you make the most important distinction here between a backup utility and a storage management product. TSM is used to manage storage and its recovery during a failure. A backup utility is used to perform backups and hope you can get restores. That is why I joke about a competitive product being ???backup, gross no restore (a little play with words).

In the same fashion, I wouldn't want them modifying my TSM policies. Allowing users to specify -mode=absolute from the client is effectively doing just that. Also, if we were to allow users to modify the MODE setting, then the precedent would be set: next, users will want to be able to modify VEREXISTS, VERDELETED, RETEXTRA, FREQUENCY, etc. Then the whole concept of policy-based storage management goes out the window. Even if you don't want to modify your TSM policy settings, I still don't see what functionality a "-mode=absolute" option would give you that you don't already have today via the SELECTIVE command. But yes, if this is still something you require, then the requirements route is the best way to go. Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manage
ODBC and TSM timestamp data type (Crystal Reports)
I know some of you are running Crystal Reports against the TSM database, hopefully you can steer me straight. I can't get Crystal to render any of the TSM timestamp fields - I always get 0's for the timestamp. For example, the Start_Time field on the Summary table. All times display as 12:00:00 am. Browsing the data for the data for the field shows: DateTime(0,0,0,00,00,00). Needless to say, this makes it difficult to just show results from yesterday.

Re: Library offline to host
Another problem I had with the LM was by default the @&#^$# thing added a route for my subnet to the default gateway. SO, as long as the address was outside of my subnet, I could talk to it. If it was on the same subnet (which was where my TSM server was located) then it was being sent to the default gateway and I wasn't communicating. I found it by looking at the routine table on the OS/2 LM. netstat -r is the command I believe. I did a route delete and it was OK until the next time the LM was restarted. Finally found the configuration problem when I went in and viewed the TCPIP configuration dialog. There was a check box that I had to un-check.

Dumb Exchange question
We will be upgrading to the new TDP for Exchange 2.2 from version 1.1 some time after the first of the year and we are wondering if the newer version supports individual mailbox recovery. I know the 1.1 version didn't easily support mailbox recovery, you had to build a new Exchange box, dump an entire database restore to it and then export the mailbox back to the production system. Do will still need to jump through all the same hoops again to restore a mailbox in version 2.2??

Re: Informix TDP expire/expiring Onbar log files
Joel, Not sure what you mean by an "onbar log". Are you talking about the Informix logical logs? If so, put them in an "archive" management class/copy group along with your database backups. Each logical log has a unique file name so efforts to expire them if you use backup type management class/copy groups can be frustrating. As an archive, they will expire in a finite number of days (pre copy group rules for the mgmt class). Since you didn't mention how you did your backups, I can't help you with how to pin the archive management class to the backup. I use SQL BackTrack for Informix and they do it when you build one of their "backup pools" (not to be confused with TSM stgpools). If you are not using BMC SBTI for a "storage manager" and are only using TSM, then you may be able to do it in an incl statement. Not sure how TDP for Informix does it...

I wrapped his routine in a perl script which selected the old log file. This worked great until Tivoli "improved" the backup library, added it to the TDP line and started charging the big bucks for it. Now Christoph's routine fails with the error: *** BSAInit failed: (12) An entry in the environment structure is invalid I've tried rebuilding it with the newest API but that didn't help.
Re: Dumb Exchange question
TDP 2.2 doesn't backup individual mailbox. For each backup tool that perform this kind of operation backup are very, very, very slow. It have to be used only for VP mailboxes. There is a tools that can perform extract of Exchange DB to one PST file per mailbox. (Xmerge) You can use this tools to backup some mailboxes. And then backup PST thru TSM as flat file.

Re: Informix restore using TSM
Theresa, I do Informix restores all the time. You are correct about the old ADSM product... it did supply a shared library. TSM does not. The shared library is a generic library that onbar talks to to make its tape requests known to TSM. TSM merely keeps track of where the backups are that are to be restored and onbar does most of the work. Backups are done in several ways, depending on the arguements to the onbar command. Backups done with a -L specify a "level" and you can think of these as more or less incremental backups. I say that because Informix logical logs, which are probably being backed up to allow you to restore to a "point in time". This point in time is specified in the onbar restore arguements (hope you have an Informix Onbar Backup and Restore Guide. The other way you can back up your system is using the whole_system argument in the backups. Then, you can do a whole_system restore. I think these work a tad better but either method will work. How do you backup the database? I would guess a script is used which calls the onbar script that Informix provides along with arguments. If you send me this info offline, we may be able to figure this out.

Re: ODBC and TSM timestamp data type (Crystal Reports)
It's really wierd. If you display the attributes of the field withing Crystal, it shows DATE/TIME stamp, but it just plain doesn't format it. If you select to browse the field data, all you see it 1 entry of 0/0/0 00:00. If you use just about any other tool to extract the same data from the same ODBC connection, it will format just fine. I'm using Excel to get the reports I need until I can get the time to get back with Seagate.

TSM Client version 4.2.1
We installed the TSM Client version 4.2.1 on a test server. The backups run fine every day (all files are incrementally backed up OK), and we can restore files fine. But at the end of each backup there is a "ANS1512E" error in the dsmsched.log file, and that error is returned to the TSM Server which makes it appear as though the backup failed. The "ANS1512E" error has a return code of 4. Does anyone know what is causing this error?

With this solution, after the initial installation, there is nothing to do except run your incremental backups the way you do now. All of the point solutions you have to perform Bare Metal Restores are no longer needed. No more local tape drives or monitoring the processes, no more administrators time tracking the backups, dealing with the media, wondering if you remembered everything. And we're not even talking about the time saved when you actually have to use it for a Bare Metal Restore. It is automated in both daily operations and during the restoration. That's where the value comes in. Weigh the entire solution: what it costs you before you implement BMR and after.

can you confirm that veritas netbackup is similiar to tsm/adsm? do both use the client/server model? if tsm is installed on a aix server, does a client piece have to be installed on a solaris server in order to be backed up? ditto for a nextstep, nt/2000 and hp server??? thanks.
Re: tsm vs. veritas
Not really similar, unless you mean that both have client/server. You need TSM server installed on one machine and then clients on all the others that you intend to backup.

Re: Dumb Exchange question: Not Dumb, just a MS-requirement
YEP you do. And it gets worse with Active Directory. But, Tivoli is not the folks that say mailbox recovery products are bad. Microsoft says so. Until they provide the proper API, nothing will likely happen in TSM. The interface that some vendors are using to do this requires that you backup all the mailboxes and takes forever. So, if you have 1000s of mailboxes on an Exchange server, it isn't going to happen.
