Re: Informix restore using TSM
I cannot help with your exact configuration because we are using TDP for Informix. However it cannot be different. XBSA lib is just and interface between Informix backup tools (i.e. onbar) and the storage manager (TSM in our case). Both backups and restores go the same way. And with onbar -r you have to be able to restore. If you are having problems I would suggest you to test backup to prove TSM setup. And to prevent old backup (which you deadly need) to be overwritten create a small dbspace which didn't existed before and test to backup it (be careful not to backup rootdbs !!!). Or better rename (Informix) node in TSM until test succeed. When you get ready with the backup rename back original node and perform COLD Informix restore (at least for rootdbs). You can decide to bring only few dbspaces up in cold restore and continue later with warm on others. This is an Informix issue and is not related to TSM at all.

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

TSM kills IP address on NT4 clients
Hello everybody, I thought maybe one of you could have experienced the following problems with TSM and NT4 clients, and maybe you can help us out with them, I sure hope so. We are trying to make archives of our NT4 clients and although some come out with a state of succes, others loose their connection with the TSM server. I know, this ain´t all that bad since these sessions are re-established, but because of this some of these clients take too long to complete (eg. 12 hours to complete a 5 Gb archive). The DSMerror.log files all show a lot of entries like: 21-11-2001 21:51:19 sessRecvVerb: Error -50 from call to 'readRtn'. All I could find on this problem was to update the drivers on the NIC´s and to adjust the settings like Duplex mode and the speed (100Mb) to match. Still, this problem persists. We made a serperate network so TSM and the Clients would not be confronted with other requests, but without succes. Other failing clients even loose their IP address during and after the archive session. Although the properties of the IP address shows up like it should on NT we can´t ping it anymore, leaving no other option then rebooting the machine. This is an example of what we see in the dsmerror.log on these clients 21-11-2001 21:22:44 ANS1810E TSM session has been reestablished. 22-11-2001 04:31:05 sessRecvVerb: Error -50 from call to 'readRtn' 22-11-2001 07:39:49 sessSendVerb: Error sending Verb, rc: -50 22-11-2001 07:39:49 ANS1809E Session is lost; initializing session reopen procedure. 22-11-2001 07:39:49 ANS1809E Session is lost; initializing session reopen procedure. 22-11-2001 07:40:14 TcpOpen: TCP/IP error connecting to server. 22-11-2001 07:40:14 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -50 22-11-2001 07:41:05 TcpOpen: TCP/IP error connecting to server. 22-11-2001 07:41:05 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -50 22-11-2001 07:41:56 TcpOpen: TCP/IP error connecting to server. The catch in all of this is that we can schedule an archive for two clients to run and no problems seem to appear and the archive/backup sessions completes in a short amout of time, like it should. If we update the schedule to make an archive for 4 or more clients all mentioned above seems to apply. Some background information: We are using the following components: AIX (ver. 4.3) with TSM (ver. 4.2) NT 4 with servicepack 4 and 6a clients 100 Mbit Ethernet connections (100mb/full duplex configured) Avaya P333t switch (all ports are 100mb/full duplex configured) The Maxsessions parameter is configured 40. Our goal is to make archives of 18 clients on a weekly basis, Can anyone please supply me with a hint on how I can reach my goal?

virtual volumes ...
Hi, While setting up a TSM environment, I came with a couple of questions concerning Virtual Volumes. Taken the scenario in which I use a target server to hold a copy storage pool and database backup. - Can I easily transport the tapes from the library in use by the target server and check those in into the source server (in case of catastrophy)? - What is the awareness of the target server about the content of the storage pool? Is the data on the tapes in any way usable on the target server? (can it be used to restore, without restoring the TSM database on the target server?) Thanks in advance!

NT directory restores waiting for files
Server TSM 4.1.2.0 on AIX 4.3
This has been working fine until yesterday - now directory restores
from a particular NT client all hang with 'Waiting for files...'.
No media waits occurring and the same when done from a different
machine with virtualnode set.
Testing with another directory did start mounting tapes and restored
the directory OK - but the initial wait was over an hour.
I see in the archive that Kyle Payne and Toni Banire had identical problems
back in January. We too appear to be able to restore individual
files within the directories concerned.
Was this ever resolved ? Any solutions found ?
Richard Sims suggested performing a client trace. How do you go about
doing this ?

Try to select just one file and restore it that way. I had a problem a few
weeks ago that Tivoli couldn't reproduce. I was running a restore of a
folder and it would just sit there at waiting for files. Finally I gave up
and tried selecting the files and not the folder. It went to preparing and
then restoring right away. Now in my case I was using the GUI and not the
command line. I'm sure our to problems are different but they may be
related in the code if you can get individual files to restore. Note that
in my case when I ran a q sess it never went to a media wait state. It was
as if it was still trying to figure out what it need to restore from the DB.

res -subdir=yes -repl=no -nod={clientA\d$}\* client B (specified as drive
letter on the local machine).
all I get is a msg saying 'waiting for files from server'.
Nothing else happens, it's like the process just hangs.
I have issued this command successfully in the past, so I know it works.
Server
reboots have not solved this prob.
B. I then try to do a restore on clientA to clientB as (I map a drive to
clientB
first)
res d:\ k:\ -subdir=yes -repl=no
no success here again.
Here's the annoying twist:
1. If I issue the command on B and direct the restore to a local drive on
clienttA all works well.
2. If I issue the command on B and restore a single file to the remote
machine
all works well.
3. Everything in A and B work fine when using the GUI.
This is driving me insane, has anyone else seen this, I desperately need a
resolution.

move from OS/390 Server to Windown NT or W2K-Server
Hello all, unitl now we have running 3 TSM - Server on 0S/390 2.7. TSM databases are in total 26 GB. Our Clients are 60 - 70 Windwows NT-Servers and 3 or 4 UNIX boxes. Now we are planning to move the TSM-Servers from OS/390 to one ore more Windows NT or W2K Servers. The storagepool-volumes will stay in the same STK -Library with the same 9840-Devices. Here are my question: Is it a good idea to consolidate 3 OS/390 Servers into one Windows Server? What are your tips for Hardware (one or more processors?, how much Storage?, one or more Nic's?, any other?). Is it possible after installation and implementation TSM-Server on Windows to do the following things to move data from old databases to new database ? stop backup client one on OS/390 Server Export node client one'' data all on OS/390 Import node client one in Windows Server start backup client one on Windows Server stop backup client two on OS/390 Server Export node client two'' data all on OS/390 Import node client two in Windows Server start backup client two on Windows Server and so on or have you other recomendations or expirence? Your help are highly appreciated. Thanks! Best Regards Arthur Hundhammer Linde AG Munich Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Archives vrs Backup Sets
Has anyone been using backup sets?. I have been looking into using backup sets on a monthly bases instead of archives. I am using DLT 40/80 gig drives/tapes (10 of them). TSM 4.2.1.6 on Windows 2000, and 4.2.0 clients on about 98% of the machines. From what I am reading I am able to perform this operation at the TSM server and it directs the output to scratch tapes. The GREAT thing about this is it does NOT touch the serves to retransmit all the data to the archive storage pool, and then to tape (which is alot of traffic!). The Backups sets would use more tapes (kind of like collocation turned on right?!). So after the daily incremental running at night, I will be able to create the backup sets ( for a monthly archive) using the current data just backed up from that node. (right?!) One question is when doing a backup set, does it also save all the inactive files? or just the active ones? Is there a way to direct all the backup sets to another copy pool to utilize tape consumption and to keep the tapes separate from the other copypools for easier search? (just a thought - but this would be a lot of extra work. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Joe Cascanette The Cumis Group

Re: Archives vrs Backup Sets
Joe, You can generate backupsets they really do not re-transmit any data from the node. Data ought to be on the server and is taken from the primary pool. If you generate backupsets on regular basis they can give you features similar to archives but not the same. Yes, backupset can produces new set of tapes for each node which is similar to collocation. However with collocation you can put data from several nodes on a single tape if your pool is constrained in scratch volumes. This is impossible with backupsets. And if you generate backupsets for each filespace one-by-one you waste even more tapes (similar to filespace collocation but again with the remark above). The main idea behind backupsets is to allow you to restore without server involvement. So only active files are included. Backupsets are NOT part of any storage pool, be it primary or copy pool. They are bound to device class and occupy library volumes. Within TSM database they are treated same as DB backups and DB snapshots. There is entry in volume history and DB for what this volume is used, when is was created and when it will expire, i.e. would be freed. You can define separate device class or use existing one for backupsets. I hope this answers to those your questions.

Re: schedule_name field in the summary table
Paul, I have noticed the exact same issue, and, I am wondering if you have had an opportunity to test your theory. If you can't test it let me know, because I have the capabilities to do so. Sal. - Original Message - From: Baines, Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 8:47 AM Subject: schedule_name field in the summary table Hello, I have noticed that the schedule_name field in the summary table does not always have an entry in it. I think I've narrowed this down to the fact that 3.1 clients fill this in and 3.7 and 4.1 clients leave it blank. This would seem to be caused by the RESOURceutilization parameter causing sub-sessions to update the summary table without a schedule_name, while the main thread, which no longer transmits the backup data, doesn't update the table. Is this correct? If so it would seem that the schedule_name field is no longer relevant unless RESOURceutilization is 1. I also have some NT clients who make two entries in the summary table for one backup. This is caused by the fact that a session is started for c$, this just saves a few files, then it carries on searching through the e$ partition this goes on for over half an hour before it finds any data to send to the server and so the original session gets an idle timeout. As soon as data is found that has changed a new session is started and a new entry in the summary table is created upon it's completion. The first record in the summary table has successful=no and the second successful=yes. This is not really desirable behaviour. It is however documented in the client book under the resourceutilization parameter: The client could produce multiple accounting records. Just thought I'd share my observations on this as it messes up our statistics gathering and may affect yours.

Re: [Fwd: Archives vrs Backup Sets]
The tapes used for backup sets do not live in storage pools, they act more like database backup tapes. They do not show up as volumes in q vol, but will show up in a q libv when checked into the library. The GUI and Web clients cannot restore individual files from backupsets, only whole file spaces. The command line client can, but only if you know the exact file name, there is no pick function. You can generate a contents list at the server. If your active files are spread across a number of tapes, all of the tapes must be read to generate the backupset. _ William Mansfield Senior Consultant Solution Technology, Inc Joe Cascanette Joe.Cascanette@To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CUMIS.COM cc: Sent by: ADSM: Subject: Re: [Fwd: Archives vrs Backup Sets] Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] T.EDU 11/22/2001 01:05 PM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Thanks for your input.

Share the experience how to backup up Notes R4.6 in AIX without NotesConnect Agent
Hi there, Are there anyone has used the *SM BA backup client to backup and restore the Notes R4.6 databases without shutdown the Notes process at AIX? . Actually, I have tried to perform the online backup on the Notes databases, and it seem *SM can handle the open files in Notes. . However, when I try to restore back the databases, and I cannot open some of the mail database again. Thus, I think it may be corrupted during the backup, and I suspect the mail databases are being changing during the backup. . Therefore, I would like to know whether *SM can use its backup agent to backup the Notes database without shutdown Notes. Can someone share his experience on it? . Thanks, Louie

Re: Archives vrs Backup Sets
Backupsets aren't stored in pools so no to the question about pools! Yes, this is a good idea but only if you have the time at the end of the month to get it done. To generate the set TSM will read data from whatever tapes the client data is stored on. If there are lots of tapes, this means lots of mounts. I have not done this myself but I've done some TSM health checks on systems where they were trying to. Notice I said trying to. They weren't having luck getting the work done in a timely fashion. So, that's one negative. The other negative is that the backupset tape is tracked in the volhist table rather than in the volume table. Therefore it is a little easier to lose track of the tapes that contain backupsets. Not a real downer but something to consider. Finally, generate backupset creates a tape from the client's active files. You are right having the client move all the data to the server for an archive can be problematic. I like the approach of using a targeted archive rather than a general archive: only archive the stuff you really need to archive, not the entire client. That should help to cut down on the amount of data you need to move. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.
