StorageTek L20
Is anybody using the StorageTek L20 (with LTO drives/tapes) tape library system with TSM (on NT)? Link = http://www.storagetek.com/products/tape/L20/ If so, what is your experience?
Re: HELP IN USING API
Which version of TSM do you use. Which use do you want ? Archive/Backup ? The use of TSM API is quite complicated but it works really fine. I didn't touch the code 2 years ago. We use only Archive/Retrieve functions(3.7.4) on NT. If you need info you can 'Reply'.

Library spanning
On 25 Nov 2001 at 19:12, Seay, Paul wrote: The issue that I see is that a storage pool in the future will need to span more than one library simply because of the number of needed devices and exploiting the flexibility of SANs. I hope TSM Development is working on this. I just had this conversation with our local IBM storage folks. I can see us running out of space in our library sometime in the not to distant future. This would be a major mess since only full storage pools can be moved to a second library. I ran Legato with 2 libraries for many years - it worked very well although you have the expected problem of too much work occuring in one library while drives might be sitting idle in the other library. This gets into the administrative mess of trying to balance what tapes are in what library so that all tape drives are utilizied. While the local guys didn't have any answers, they did indicate that Storage Tank would/could address this problem. I don't know what Storage Tank is going to be, but it sounds like having to spend more money to get around a TSM limitation.
Sharing the 3494 with OS/390 and AS/400
Hi *SM-ers, We are going to share an 3494 library with three hosts; TSM, OS/390 and OS/400. Therefor we will use different labelcategories to ensure we don't use eachothers tapes. But in TSM, i think, it is easy for us to label tapes wich belongs to one of the other hosts. That is not wat you want, but it is possible. Therefor I like to know if it is possible to set somewhere something like an mask so we are not able to label those tapes, even when we not use the 'volrange' option.

Disable scheduler or enable scheduler
Hi I need to run every month full backup of some clients for Disaster Recovery and my problem is I need to disable the others scheduler's running for this night. I created a policy for those special nodes , but if I run a disable session this will include my full backup too. I wonder if anybody create a select command checking the status of the future backup for this night, and except for the Disaster policy make a temporary expiration for the other backup scheduler T.I.A Robert Ouzen E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Can't empty diskpool volumes!?!
Hi Eric, I had this same problem on 3.7.4 for AIX. I think it's a known bug, I found it in IBMLINK somewhere, but I can't remember where now. . The explanation was in the APAR, which I don't remember exactly; I think it has to do with filespaces that are split over multiple diskpool volumes, or something like that. Anyway, the workaround is to start the MOVE DATA again, pointing to your TAPE pool (or probably any SEQUENTIAL pool will do). If that doesn't do it, run an AUDIT FIX on the diskpool volume. One or the other has always cleared it up for me. Hope that helps.

AiX client password problem
Can anyone share some light on a question I have. One of my AIX clients backup failed due to a password problem. The client log gave a ans0282e password file is not available error. The TSM log gives a ANR0424W session refused invalid password submitted. If we reset the password and then rerun the job it works ok, but the AIX guys are asking me what happened and I don't know what to tell them.

Re: Disable scheduler or enable scheduler
On Mon, 26 Nov 2001 15:27:22 +0200, it was written: I need to run every month full backup of some clients for Disaster Recovery and my problem is I need to disable the others scheduler's running for this night. I created a policy for those special nodes , but if I run a disable session this will include my full backup too. I wonder if anybody create a select command checking the status of the future backup for this night, and except for the Disaster policy make a temporary expiration for the other backup scheduler Two possibilities: 1. Instead of running a monthly full backup of some clients, create backupsets of them. This has the added advantage of not requiring another data pull across the network. 2. Failing that, create a script that locks out the offending nodes during the monthly backups. Timing may be a little tricky with this one. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: fioScanDirEntry(): Can't map object 'xxxx' into the local ANSI c odepage, skipping ...
I believe that the trouble is in mapping some of the characters in the file name to the ANSI code page in which Windows is running (notice the '?' character in the file name). Files whose names contain characters that are not in the ANSI code page can't be backed up by pre-TSM 4.2 software. This is discussed in the TSM Windows client manual Using the Backup-Archive Client, chapter 1, section Migrating to the Unicode-Enabled Client. TSM 4.2 includes Unicode support.

TDP for Exchange 5.5 version 4
Hello. I have installed TDP on my Exchange 5.5 server. I also have TSM NT Client 4.2 install on this machine also. The Client backs up the NT files and the TDP Client backs up my databases. Can someone tell me if TDP backs up the EDB.log files because when the NT client back up tries to backup the log files it fails because they are in use. If someone could shoot me a link to what TDP covers and doesn't that would be great. I need to get this back to stop failing. Chad
Re: Disable scheduler or enable scheduler
You could always schedule the full backup just before the normal backups are to start. TSM will only allow one scheduled event to be running on the client at a time, so the normal schedule will miss (provided the full backup completes after the startup window for the normal backup), or if you don't mind having an incremental backup run immediately after the full (which shouldn't do much, by definition). The schedules would look something like this: DOMAIN FULLSCHEDULE Sel Bk 08/02/2000 17:59:00 3 H4 W Sat DOMAIN INCRSCHEDULE Inc Bk 08/02/2000 18:00:00 3 H1 D Any On every 4th week, on Saturday, FULLSCHEDULE will run, starting 1 minute before INCRSCHEDULE for that night. INCRSCHEDULE will have to wait for FULLSCHEDULE to finish for a node before it can run (Assuming the same nodes are associated with both schedules).

Re: Large TSM database due to no. of files and versions
On Mon, 26 Nov 2001 15:02:45 +0100, it was written: We are backing up some large Novell servers (more than 1 million files per Server). The users want to be able to restore every version of a file 30 days back and every version of a file at the end of a month 12 months back. In order to meet these requirements at least partly we set the backup management class as follows: Versions Data Exists: 10 Versions Data Deleted: 5 Retain Extra Versions: 366 Retain Only Version: 366 Because of these settings, the TSM database grew to 15 GB in the last 6 months and is growing fast even further. Restore performance is bad for these servers as well. Is there a possibility / idea to get over this apart from using archives? Is it possible to create archives (not backupsets) from existing data on the TSM server? No, archives require an additional pull of data across your network. If your stated business requirements are set in concrete, then you need to rethink the resources you have available to you. You will probably need *very* fast disk access and (probably) a more potent server, not to mention more library resource. If business requirements are *not* set in concrete, then rethink your prohibition on backupsets. They are quite a joy to create and use (as long as you track them carefully). I would bet a really good beer that none of your users will *ever* need to retrieve a file that's more than a week old. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: Mainframe backups?
AIX has different types of filesystems (JFS, DFS, AFS, etc). PC's have different types of filesystems (NFS, FAT). Mainframes also can have different types of coexisting filesystems these days. Most of the mainframe data is legacy MVS format data. It has a catalog structure that is very unlike UNIX or Wintel directory structures. TSM does NOT understand that type of filesystem. To back it up, you need an MVS backup product. Mainframes can also now have UNIX-style filesystems (which are called HFS filesystems). They are directory based, and there is a TSM client that understands them and can back them up.

I suspect there are many different database wounds that can cause this problem, since many people have suggested different solutions. If none of them work, here is my different solution. Mark the volumes 'destroyed' and then do restore volume. To mark them destroyed you have to vary them offline with the tsm 'vary' command. This is what worked for me.

Re: Macintosh OSX Support
I wish I was providing the answer to this...I have no news here. HOWEVER: From some testing I've been doing, the latest version of TSM seems to work fine under Classic. Unfortunately, however, that requires that Classic be running, and not set to fall asleep after 5 minutes (which is the default). Additionally, you would want to have the TSM daemon alias in the StartUp Items folder just to be sure. I'm sure there are all sorts of restore issues, but luckily I haven't had to deal with that yet. Hope this helps as a stopgap measure. Cheers, Dan. At 1:11 PM -0600 11/26/01, Bob Booth - UIUC wrote: Has anyone heard of an update as to when Tivoli will be supporting MAC OSX?

Netware Client Password failure
I have three TSM 4.2.1 Netware 5.0 clients that won't perform a scheduled backup. Normally when you first setup the client and register the node, the first time it prompts you to enter the Netware ID password for the backup and stores the files. These three won't store the password. Every time you run a manual incremental or a scheduled backup, you get prompted. The error shows as: 11/21/2001 19:36:57 ANS1880E TSA Connect error, NWSMConnectToTargetService 'CTRL3' password file 'CTRL3\SYS:TIVOLI/TSM/CLIENT/BA/TSM.PWD'. Userid = 'adsm_support' failed with cc = FFFDFFD7 When you try a manual backup, the dsmerror.log writes the same thing, and on the screen you are prompted for the id pw again. The TSM.PWD file gets updated with the same date and time. The DSM.opt file is set for passwordaccess generate and nwpwfile is set to yes. Any ideas??

If you own both libraries and there is no rush to get rid of the old one, why not set the next_storage_pool and the reclaim_storage_pool settings to the new library. This way, over time, all the data will be moved from one library to the other and you do not have to issue a ton of move commands. Further, if you have other functions, such as DB backup, etc., then you can make the switch over immediately. This has worked flawlessly for me when I installed an LTO library on the TSM system that already had a 3575 library attached. Mahesh Kelly Lipp [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/26/01 12:20AM You are absolutely correct: there is one to one mapping of device class and library. This is probably not the correct model for the times, however changing it has major implications. Moving a client from one pool to another is quite difficult. The only sure way is to use export/import. If your tape pool is collocated you may be able to use move data commands to get a client's data to another pool. There is discussion to create a move filespace command that, if implemented, will give us the ability to move a client's data around. But until then... I apologize if I missed the intent of the original question. Moving some of the tapes to the other library is not possible. It's an all or nothing proposition. Kelly J.

This presumes that there is a one to one relationship between the device class and the storage class in the TSM environment. But, there is probably not a single installation like that. I believe in this case the installation only wanted to move some tapes to the new library, not all. In the all scenario, changing the device class works fine. The issue that I see is that a storage pool in the future will need to span more than one library simply because of the number of needed devices and exploiting the flexibility of SANs. I hope TSM Development is working on this. In our case we have two 3494s, one with 16 drives and one with 22 drives. It is really a pain to have to worry about which library a tape will be inserted into when it returns from the offsite storage. It also limits us when a SAN client is limited to one library for a storage pool of scratches because the storage pool cannot span, but I can see how difficult it could get to support cross library functionality. So, I guess the only way to move from one library to another is by doing a client move from one storage pool to another. -Original Message- From: Kelly Lipp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2001 3:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Changing Library box Not quite.

According to the administrator's guide what you did is the proper way to checkout and checkin a volume to a library. But, it does not say you can move the volume to a new library (device class/storage pool). This is what I am speculating. You cannot change the device class of a in a storage pool without deleting and redefining it. Once a tape has a private status I am betting you cannot do what you are trying to do. However, if the tape has no data on it and you change its status from private to scratch I am betting you can check it out and back in to a different library. Yes, this sucks. Remember TSM manages objects between storage pools. So, you can move all the data off a volume easily with the move command. Then you should be able to change the status of the volume to scratch and move it. I do not know if you will have to run expiration to be able to change the volume's status. I have not tried this but bet that this is the situation. I think there is a requirement here for us to be able to associate a super device class to a storage pool that contains many libraries and to be able to change the location of a volume so long as it is in the super device class.

Re: Installing TSM 3.7 packaged Scripts
Some time back I took a TSM class and during this class it was mentioned that TSM had several canned scripts that can/could be installed on the server and used via the GUI TSM ADMIN interface. Does anyone have these scripts installed, and the main question is how can I Install them so I can start using them. I am currently running Storage Management Server for AIX-RS/6000 4.3 - Version 3, Release 7, Level 4.0 What I do remember about installing these scripts is that I need to be in the AIX file system/directory where the executable is located, then just execute it. So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Netware Client Password failure
Stormy, Have you tried deleting the existing .pwd files in the BA directory then running a manual and re-entering the info? If so, then I would recommend backing off to a 4.1 rev of the client. Also, as with any Netware problem, make sure you have the latest TSA nlms, tsa5up7 last time I checked. Are you getting prompted for the Novell username and pwd, or the TSM one? I'm having a problem on our Netware cluster nodes that's similar, scheduled backups run for a couple of nights and then fail because of a prompt for the TSM userid and pwd.

Currently, that Domino database is backed up with TDP for Domino to a TSM (Solaris)server.

You're not going to be able to restore the AIX files (in JFS file format) to Solaris (in whatever file format).

Re: dsmfmt question
That is something I am curious about, not being an AIX expert: What is being logged to the JFS log that creates overhead in the TSM case? I thought the JFS log was necessary because of changing files in the JFS filesystem. But TSM DB, LOG, and STGPOOL volumes (really files) are pre-formatted; their size does not change. So what is the JFS overhead when TSM is writing into those files?

What if the disk keeping the jfslog volume is very busy. And there were many threads on this list regarding TSM log pinnouts, overflows, etc. Have in mind that JFS is using very similar methology (but you cannot issue Q LOG). - There is no need to calculate exactly how large the file has to be. And there is no need to use dsmfmt. DEF VOL stgpool /dev/rlv_name and the server will recognise the size automagically. - With JFS you waste space on superblock, i-nodes and jfslog volume. Raw volumes are raw - everything is up to you (and TSM) except LVM header (512 bytes). And if you are greedy you can use even the first block. LVM will complain on some operations but will not overwrite it. - You do not have control over file(s) placement within the filesystem (and disk). You can control intra-policy of each logical volume and place most used closer to disk middle and rarely used on the ends. You can control which logical volume to be spread across the disks and which not to be stripped. This can improve performance. - There is no need to care about filesystem mount/unmount, mount order, fsck, etc. - Using specific volume type (I use 'mklv -t tsm_db', tsm_log and tsm_vol) you can designate logical volume usage. And even after the disk is attached to another system you can easily recognise each volume usage (when LV name on imported VG conflicts with existing varied on LV name AIX assigns lvXX to it). I though several times why not to use /dev/rhdiskXX but I see to many obstacles and nearly not benefit - the disk device name will change on any devices reorganisation, i.e. SCSI disk goes in another hot-swap bay and gets another ID, alternate path with different adapter gets new device name - disk is not signed and someone can overwrite its data assigning it to a volume group. - Attachment to other system gives no information what was the previous usage of the disk. - Performance benefit from removal of LVM overhead is not so significant to pay all problems considered above.

Re: 3590 Fiber drives: Cabling Issues
The short cable that runs down to the patch panel (barrels) on the fibre channel drives are 50 micron provided by IBM. This means that the jumper to the switch will change if you use 62.5 micron cables. I have successfully done this, but it is not a supported configuration. Apparently, if you only do this change once in the connection it is not likely to cause a problem on short distances like you are talking about. What we have done is placed our ES-1000s under the library (3494) and cabled the drives directly into the ES-1000. Then, the uplink can be whatever you desire. You could do the same with a Brocade switch. -Original Message- From: Gill, Geoffrey L.

Betreff: transmitting the result of an sql query to a script ? + loop
struture ?
Hi TSM'ers !
I already saw this in a thread, but can't find it again : I'm looking
for a convenient way to stop some reclamation processes in an automated
way (script).
As those reclamation processes are made on an offsite stg pool, no way
stopping them by increasing the reclamation threshold to 100, so I
thought to something like :
select process_num from processes where process='Space Reclamation' ,
and then transmit this process_num to a cancel proc command.
Is there a convenient way doing that, without calling an external AIX
script ?
More clever : if I have several of those reclamation processes, is there
a way building a loop in the script, to cancell them all, while running
the script once ?
TIA.
Arnaud

Re: Sharing the 3494 with OS/390 and AS/400
In the case of OS/390 you are running the OAM task which has an exit that may help. Every system gets notification of a volume when it is inserted that is registered to the 3494, even an open systems lmcpd system. The OS/390 system is the only one that responds unfortunately. It sets the category of the tape based on whether the exit says to accept the tape or not. For OS/390 we implemented the exit and ignore tapes not for it by volser range. Sorry, that does not help in TSM or AS/400. What we desperately need from 3494 development is a lmcpd connection task delivered for each platform that we can invoke a script from. Then, we can write the script in whatever tool we want. That way you could dynamically checkin under TSM and under an AS/400 do whatever it needs such as give the tape a category via the mtlib command. I believe that TSM will only label tapes that are in its categories already or the FF00 category (insert), so you can make it skip the OS/390 tapes by using the OAM exit. I know TSM will not relabel that already has a valid TSM label on it. This is to prevent destroying tapes that have valid data. If I could spend enough time to tinker around with C, I would write the code for this task. It is relatively simple. And, essentially, you do not need to run it but in one place because every host gets notified for all inserts. And, by the way, the library represents the list of tapes in insert status every time a host opens the interface to the library. -Original Message- From: Bazuin R.

Therefor we will use different labelcategories to ensure we don't use eachothers tapes. But in TSM, i think, it is easy for us to label tapes wich belongs to one of the other hosts. That is not wat you want, but it is possible. Therefor I like to know if it is possible to set somewhere something like an mask so we are not able to label those tapes, even when we not use the 'volrange' option.

Domains Question
Folks... ADSM 3.1 was implemented in my shop about 5 years ago (on a mainframe server). At the time, we had 5 Netware Clients, and about 7 AIX Clients, so it made sense to create two domains - one for each platform.As in most shops, we've experienced an Open Systems growth explosion, to the point where I now have approx 30 Netware clients, and 60 UNIX clients, still defined to the original two domains. My server is TSM 4.1, running on S/390. My storage pools for the two domains - from disk to copy pool to offsite tape storage have all grown huge. My feeling is that maintaining the entire environment within two domains is inefficient - backups, migrations, etc take far too long, and I don't dream of turning on collocation. My questions are: 1) Do most people run their servers with fewer, large domains, or is it prevalent to operate with many smaller domains defined with less client nodes attached? 2) If a new domain is defined, how do you move a node, and all it's backed up files, from one domain to different new domain ? Thank you, Bill Robb
Re: Domains Question
Actually, a domain has nothing specifically to do with a storage pool. The deal is the clients are using a default policy domain management class. This management class has a backup group associated with it which can only go to one primary storage pool, maybe a next pool, etc. Multiple management classes could be put under the current policy domain with a new management class (at least in V4 you can do this). But, this requires the dsm.opt file on each client to specify management classes, which is probably not what you want. If you change the policy domain of the clients to new ones with different storage pools you can move the data to the new storage pools and a rebind to the new management class will occur on the first backup. I recommend you setup a little test server to test out everything before you try this on a production server. Now for your real question. How many policy domains? Policy domains relate to your business objectives and need to separate data into default management classes easily. Some of the TDPs (Oracle, Exchange, SQL Server, DB2, etc) require/recommend separate policy domains from the client backup which you probably do not have implemented. I will give you an example. Say you have three areas of business: Office Automation Manufacturing Engineering These could have the same or different server platforms but are distinct business entities. It would probably be prudent to separate them into separate policy domains and storage pools for recovery purposes. You may want to break them down further. As technicians we think in server OS terms AIX, IRIX, Windows, Netware, Solaris, etc., but that is not necessarily the right business model because many times an environment crosses many platforms. The other example that may seem dumb is we use AIX/Windows TSM servers. We send them to their own storage pools just to isolate the restore tapes easily for disaster recovery reasons. Which ultimately, is how your policy organization may come out for your business. The technical reason for several policy domains is TSM administration security. You can segment who can touch what and do to what by policy domain. The TSM Administrator's guide makes a real good book to put you to sleep at night. You should use it for about a week. It will really help you get a handle on the reasons for policy domains and storage pools. In the end, your real question has to do with how many storage pools do you need. That is where you categorize your data by whether collocation makes sense, reclamation makes sense, etc. This is a balancing act. The more storage pools you have the more you have to manage. Pick the proper granularity. In my case I have about 5 primary disk pools, 15 primary tape pools, and 15 copy tape pools, but I have a 40TB, 250+ many platform server environment, with requirements to segregate customer data and all sorts of requirements. Some of my tape pools are the primary and there are no disk pools in the middle. We use a lot of SAN managed tape. -Original Message- From: Bill Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 10:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Domains Question Folks...

Problems with TDPO_OPTFILE
I can´t set TDPO_OPTFILE to any other value than tdpo.opt in the default installation directory, because values like TDPO_NODE etc. are not recognized. I work with AIX V4.3.3 both TSM server and client, TSM Server V4.1 and TDP for Oracle V2.2.Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot!
