Re: Backing-Up in Windows 2000 Enviroment ( Verificación ScanMail )
Rafael, c:\winnt\system32\config\ contains the files representing your system objects. You cannot backup those files directly as they are always exclusively open by the system. When you let TSM do a backup of your system objects, in fact a kind of workaround for those files is put in action: TSM makes a copy of the files not by using a direct file access but by using an NT/Win2k API function call. So there's no problem when you cannot backup this directory as long as the system state is backed up using another method.

Re: Backing-Up in Windows 2000 Enviroment (Verificación ScanMail )
I think that TSM cant directly backup registry etc so TSM exports it to C:\ADSM.SYS folder and therefor you exclude c:\winnt\system32\config folder from backup by default.

TSM Scheduler in a Solaris TDP for Oracle Environment
Greetings TSM'ers, I have a question regarding using the TSM scheduler in an Oracle TDP environment (Solaris7) the vital statistics are: TSM Server version 4.1.4 on Windows NT4, SP6A. TSM Client version 4.2 on Solaris V2.7. TDP for Oracle V2.2 for Solaris. The TDP requires PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT to be set in the options file, to enable the scheduler to backup the oracle data via the TDP. This now has the knock on effect of stopping the schedules for all other filespace backups on that particular server, as PASSWORDACCESS must be set to GENERATE. I can setup a cron command to backup all non-oracle filespaces, but i would rather use the built in TSM scheduler if possible. Surely someone else has hit upon this problem, Thanks in advance, Vic http://www.phoenixitgroup.com **Internet Email Confidentiality Footer*** Phoenix IT Group Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 3476115.

Re: Point system has me very confused
In the US what Ted says is true. However, you can buy a bunch of points that are TSM points under a Passport agreement and they may give you a little flexibility on committing/redeploying those points at time of need in a contract provision. -Original Message- From: Ted Byrne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 12:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Point system has me very confused Dwight, Looking into things you realize that on 20 existing machines you have NEVER use software distribution SO you just drop it from those 20 machines and use the freed points to apply towards TSM client TWS points for your new 12 machines. Unfortunately, I believe that this is not correct. According to the discussions with Tivoli that we've had (as a reseller), the points are transferrable only within the confines of a Product Number. This is true even for products that one might think of as components of the same product. For example, you might have a stable of 10 Unix servers that you're backing up with TDP/Oracle (Product 5698-DPO). Being Tier-2 systems, the list price is 200 points each client, about $62,000 total. Your company announces an acquisition of a company, and in the course of hashing out the details of the transition, it is decided that the merged company will standardize on DB2 as a database platform. In addition, they have 100 Unix web servers that are being backed up with a product that nobody likes. TSM is selected as the standard backup method for the merged company. In our understanding, (someone from Tivoli correct me if I am wrong about this, please!) you may not transfer the 2000 fallow points from your existing 5698-DPO bucket to the 5698-TSM (Managed System - LAN) product that is required to backup your web servers. Total list price: 1500 points, about $46,500. Again, this is how it was explained to us; if someone from Tivoli can correct me, I'd be happy to hear otherwise.

One client - two servers
My client is studying the implementation of a SAN. And on top of that there will be two SAN's in two different places to be able to create a DR site. What my client is asking is to study if it is feasable and thinkable to do the backups on the two different SAN's (with tape robot and necessary TSM Servers) alternatively ie one day at TSM server 1 the other day to server 2. In my idea it is the dsm.opt or the dsm.sys which directs the client to the server. Alternating to the two TSM servers would mean updating these files and restarting the client every day. Not forgetting the difficulty to figure out to which TSM server to connect to restore a file of a few days ago not knowing by which server it has been backed up. Does anyone see a possible configuration to fullfill my client whishes? Any comment is appreciated. Michel Engels TSM Consultant Devoteam Belgium

Re: How many concurrent backup sets?
Hi John I create backup sets weekly and have done some successful restores using the command below. dsmc restore backupset /dev/rmt/0 -loc=tape Not sure if this helps though as I'm pretty new to all this.

Nick, I am with you. Collocation should improve the way you can plan to use backup sets. Collocation at filespace level would certainly speed up restores as you could multi stream without media contention. I have recently been creating backupsets as an alternative to full backups, and I do have an observation which people need to be aware of. Creating backup sets is processor intensive, all those database entries for the active data to find. So make sure you have enough processor power especially if you inted creating more than one backupset concurrently. If you are running TSM single threaded (default) then you may need to look at MPthreading. By the way I have not had any reply to my question about the syntax for restoring a complete backup set to a test box. As you can restore individually selected filespaces I would have thought it was possible, but am prepared to be told it is not, if others have tried to get that sneaky backupset restore syntax to work to do this and failed. This was the gist of my question I have created single filespace backup sets and restored them ok by changing the node name in the dsm.opt file of the test box to the same as the node from which the backup set was generated. But If I try to restore a whole node backupset including all filespaces, I just cannot get it to work and the examples in the manual do not cover this. Is this possible? If anyone has done this I would be grateful for the syntax The syntax below, works for a single filespace restore to a netware client load dsmc rest backupset -repl=n -su=y server1.6446543 server1\data: testbox\data:\ Nick Laflamme [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12/08/2001 11:56:27 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: John Naylor/HAV/SSE) Subject: Re: How many concurrent backup sets?

Re: Multiple Backup Sets on one tape - (Was Large TSM database due to no. of files and versions)
Hate to break it to you Mark, but here's the point. I (We) the customer are HELPING Tivoli to provide me (us) with a product to best suit me (us). Suggestions, thoughts from the customer are the best way to keep their software popular and useful. If they don't want to produce products that the customers want I (we) will go else where. I don't think that bundling more than one server on 1 tape will present a problem. You have to load the client to view the backup sets anyways, so there is some organization in place to find the data in the first place. Of course if I could fill a 80gig tape all the time I would be happy, my employer will be happy, and I would not be asking for change with an option within TSM. If you don't want use the change, that's fine, don't use the extended features. But I for one would like to cut the number of tape I handle everyday. The less tapes I use a day the less chance corruption will set in. Have you ever preformed a actual disaster recovery before?.

I have submitted this requirement to Tivoli and I believe others have also. We are currently using LTO tapes (100 GB uncompressed), it is just not economical to only put 1 backupset per tape. One of the major purposes of backupsets is the ability to restore a system without the use of the TSM server. This can particularly useful in DR mode when you need to get some mission-critical TSM clients *immediately* while you're concurrently getting the TSM box rebuilt as well. In this mode, an LTO tape with a backupset on it won't do you much good if you can't locally mount the tape on the box to be recovered, and I don't know many folk that have a standalone LTO tape drive sitting around. The other problem is that of organization. If you put, say, three TSM clients' worth of backupsets on one tape, and you use the server-free mode when restoring, how will client #2 know how to distinguish its data from client #1's? If you've got a beef with using large-capacity tapes for backupsets, stick a standalone DLT or 8mm tape drive on your TSM server, and write the backupsets to that. Then move the drive to the client to be restored as necessary. If enough people submit this requirement to Tivoli perhaps they will listen. Why make backupsets more complex? Leave the backupset design alone, I say. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: Multiple Backup Sets on one tape - (Was Large TSM database du e to no. of files and versions)
The other major purpose of backupsets is the instant archive feature. You only seem to be using the rapid recovery feature. For your concerns: -It would be simple to have an option if you didn't want more than one backupset per tape. -The backupsets are self describing, so it would be simple enough to have the information on the tape where the clients data is. No sense using old technology tape to make things cost effective! -Original Message- From: Mark Stapleton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 10:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multiple Backup Sets on one tape - (Was Large TSM database due to no. of files and versions) On Fri, 30 Nov 2001 10:15:33 -0600, it was written: Oh how I wish this were possible. I have submitted this requirement to Tivoli and I believe others have also. We are currently using LTO tapes (100 GB uncompressed), it is just not economical to only put 1 backupset per tape. One of the major purposes of backupsets is the ability to restore a system without the use of the TSM server. This can particularly useful in DR mode when you need to get some mission-critical TSM clients *immediately* while you're concurrently getting the TSM box rebuilt as well. In this mode, an LTO tape with a backupset on it won't do you much good if you can't locally mount the tape on the box to be recovered, and I don't know many folk that have a standalone LTO tape drive sitting around. The other problem is that of organization. If you put, say, three TSM clients' worth of backupsets on one tape, and you use the server-free mode when restoring, how will client #2 know how to distinguish its data from client #1's? If you've got a beef with using large-capacity tapes for backupsets, stick a standalone DLT or 8mm tape drive on your TSM server, and write the backupsets to that. Then move the drive to the client to be restored as necessary. If enough people submit this requirement to Tivoli perhaps they will listen. Why make backupsets more complex? Leave the backupset design alone, I say. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: Test restore to alternative server?
Eugene, Install the client normally Register the client to TSM with some name that tell you its a test box One way to test your restore is to fool TSM into thinking that your test box is the box you are restoring from. You do this by changing the node name in the dsm.opt file to the name of the client you are testing. You then can kick off you restore from the test box and the data will be restored to it. The only thing you need to be careful if you do this is that you do not run any sessions with the real client until you have finished your restore to the test client.

Re: One client - two servers
Do not overcomplicate this without need. Define two servers in dsm.sys using two stanzas. Create two dsm.opt files, let's say dsm_odd.opt and dsm_even.opt pointing to each stanza in dsm.sys and start the client with different DSM_CONFIG environment variable. Or even start both clients.

Nick, I am with you. Collocation should improve the way you can plan to use backup sets. Collocation at filespace level would certainly speed up restores as you could multi stream without media contention. I have recently been creating backupsets as an alternative to full backups, and I do have an observation which people need to be aware of. Creating backup sets is processor intensive, all those database entries for the active data to find. So make sure you have enough processor power especially if you inted creating more than one backupset concurrently. If you are running TSM single threaded (default) then you may need to look at MPthreading. By the way I have not had any reply to my question about the syntax for restoring a complete backup set to a test box. As you can restore individually selected filespaces I would have thought it was possible, but am prepared to be told it is not, if others have tried to get that sneaky backupset restore syntax to work to do this and failed. This was the gist of my question I have created single filespace backup sets and restored them ok by changing the node name in the dsm.opt file of the test box to the same as the node from which the backup set was generated. But If I try to restore a whole node backupset including all filespaces, I just cannot get it to work and the examples in the manual do not cover this. Is this possible? If anyone has done this I would be grateful for the syntax The syntax below, works for a single filespace restore to a netware client load dsmc rest backupset -repl=n -su=y server1.6446543 server1\data: testbox\data:\ Nick Laflamme [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12/08/2001 11:56:27 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: John Naylor/HAV/SSE) Subject: Re: How many concurrent backup sets?

But If I do what you suggest it would also checkout the tapes for my onsite copies that are full right? I am looking for a way to check out multiples tapes with one command (running a script would be my guess) to take a list of predetermined tapes out of a LTO 3583. I want to be able to check out the OFFSITE tapes that are full and filling and the daily DB backup that is in the OFF devclass. Is ther a script that will allow me to identify them and then create a macro file that could be run from to check them out one by one with REMOVE=BULK?\ If anyone has this would you mind sharing?

Re: One client - two servers
You could run two client schedulers, using separate dsm.opt files pointing to the two TSM servers. You would create a schedule on TSM server EVEN that did backups on even days, and a schedule on TSM server ODD that did backups on odd days (or you could do day of week if you prefer). Each scheduler would listen to its own TSM server. One consequence of this scheme is that each TSM server will back up all the files that have changed since the last time IT ran, rather than the last time its counterpart ran, since the necessary information is held in the TSM database, not on the client. This scheme is almost unthinkable; you'll have an interesting time with restores. I'm curious - what is the business requirement behind this? _ William Mansfield Senior Consultant Solution Technology, Inc Michel Engels Michel.Engels@DE To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] VOTEAM.BE cc: Sent by: ADSM: Subject: One client - two servers Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU 12/10/2001 08:22 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager My client is studying the implementation of a SAN.

What my client is asking is to study if it is feasable and thinkable to do the backups on the two different SAN's (with tape robot and necessary TSM Servers) alternatively ie one day at TSM server 1 the other day to server 2. In my idea it is the dsm.opt or the dsm.sys which directs the client to the server. Alternating to the two TSM servers would mean updating these files and restarting the client every day. Not forgetting the difficulty to figure out to which TSM server to connect to restore a file of a few days ago not knowing by which server it has been backed up.

mtlib/tapeutil not able to access 3590's
Good Afternoon, Since we upgraded IBMtape from 3.0.3.2 to 4.0.4.7, mtlib and tapeutil are not able to access any of our 3590's in a 3494. Example: mtlib -l magstor3 -f /dev/rmt/3st -qD mtlib: Unable to open device special file /dev/rmt/3st: Permission denied Everything is working fine ADSM-wise, and we can still query the 3494. Not being the Sysadmin for the actual server (and it being located in another country), I don't have a lot of access to that machine. The server is SunOS 2.6, ADSM v3.1. Any information you've got would help immeasurably. Thanks, Mike

Re: Point system has me very confused
Here's the language from the announcement: A client is a computer system or process that requests a service of another computer system that is typically referred to as a server. Multiple clients may share access to a common server. A client has some processing capability, or is programmable to allow a user to do work. Examples include laptop computers, desktop computers, and desk-side computers. A server is a computer system that provides services to one or more clients, or other devices over a network. Examples include, but are not limited to, file servers, print servers, mail servers, database servers, application servers, and Web servers. A server is defined by its use in the customer's environment, not by its use in a Tivoli application. I take this to mean that clients are machines that do not provide services to other machines. Your (unix?) CAD workstations are probably clients under this definition. Each client would require a four point license. The good news (?) is that your excess points can be allocated to new clients that may come on board. _ William Mansfield Senior Consultant Solution Technology, Inc Tab Trepagnier Tab.Trepagnier@LA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ITRAM.COM cc: Sent by: ADSM: Subject: Re: Point system has me very confused Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] EDU 12/10/2001 03:00 PM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Paul / Steve, By that definition, one would not need a purchased license for workstations since the four-point license is for tier-1 servers.

How many points is the TSM server itself? on a tier 1 (NT) server? on a tier 2 (AIX) server? How many points are the Data Protection products, specifically Domino? What about DB2, do you just buy enough points to cover the tier of the machine?

Re: One client - two servers
You presume there is some kind of logic in this business requirement. This is just someone's spin on DR to get the data in an alternate site not more than 48 hours old the way I see it. I do not understand why they would not just create a copy pool on a tape library in the second SAN and connect the primary TSM server to the DR SAN and the primary SAN. Then they can see the tape drives from both. Just create a copy pool and perform Database backups twice a day (once to primary, once to secondary). This presumes the tape drives are on the SAN and not shared on the other end unless a DR has occurred. Otherwise, TSM to TSM server communications will have to be put in place to share the drives. -Original Message- From: Bill Mansfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 4:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: One client - two servers You could run two client schedulers, using separate dsm.opt files pointing to the two TSM servers. You would create a schedule on TSM server EVEN that did backups on even days, and a schedule on TSM server ODD that did backups on odd days (or you could do day of week if you prefer). Each scheduler would listen to its own TSM server. One consequence of this scheme is that each TSM server will back up all the files that have changed since the last time IT ran, rather than the last time its counterpart ran, since the necessary information is held in the TSM database, not on the client. This scheme is almost unthinkable; you'll have an interesting time with restores.

And on top of that there will be two SAN's in two different places to be able to create a DR site. What my client is asking is to study if it is feasable and thinkable to do the backups on the two different SAN's (with tape robot and necessary TSM Servers) alternatively ie one day at TSM server 1 the other day to server 2. In my idea it is the dsm.opt or the dsm.sys which directs the client to the server. Alternating to the two TSM servers would mean updating these files and restarting the client every day. Not forgetting the difficulty to figure out to which TSM server to connect to restore a file of a few days ago not knowing by which server it has been backed up. Does anyone see a possible configuration to fullfill my client whishes? Any comment is appreciated. Michel Engels TSM Consultant Devoteam Belgium
Using backupset on Netware clients
I think I saw a message recently where someone was using backupsets on Netware... I have a TSM server 4.2.0 with an LTO library and a DLT tape. I have remote client on Netware 5.1 running TSM client 4.2. with a DLT tape Is it possible to create a backupset for VOL1 of a netware client on DLT and then use this tape to restore files on the Netware client? In the netware docs they never say if you can use a tape instead of a CD or file so I am not sure. I am also wondering if the tape will be compatible since it is written on a Windows 2000 server (by TSM granted) and I want to restore it on a Netware platform (by TSM granted). Could someone give the an exemple of a the command line to accomplish this (If possible)? If it is possible has anyone ever done it and does it work well? I plan to use this to create monthly backups and as a way to restore large files on remote sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Etienne Brodeur

Re: Multiple Backup Sets on one tape - (Was Large TSM database due to no. of files and versions)
Is this possible to do on a Novell client? Using a Windows 2000 TSM server? Restore a backupset from tape device that is available on both locations? If it's not possible could I set up TSM to create a backupset to file and then backup that up on tape with TSM. If I need it I would then need to restore the file and then send it to the client and then restore... Doesn't sound too good actually, but if you can't the backupsets from tape on the Novell client how do you keep complete monthly copies of backups with TSM? I can't archive because some of the servers are on the WAN and the speed won't allow me to do complete archive during the weekend anymore (too much data). Help! Thanks, Etienne Brodeur On Fri, 30 Nov 2001 10:15:33 -0600, it was written: Oh how I wish this were possible. I have submitted this requirement to Tivoli and I believe others have also. We are currently using LTO tapes (100 GB uncompressed), it is just not economical to only put 1 backupset per tape. One of the major purposes of backupsets is the ability to restore a system without the use of the TSM server. This can particularly useful in DR mode when you need to get some mission-critical TSM clients *immediately* while you're concurrently getting the TSM box rebuilt as well. In this mode, an LTO tape with a backupset on it won't do you much good if you can't locally mount the tape on the box to be recovered, and I don't know many folk that have a standalone LTO tape drive sitting around. If you've got a beef with using large-capacity tapes for backupsets, stick a standalone DLT or 8mm tape drive on your TSM server, and write the backupsets to that. Then move the drive to the client to be restored as necessary.
Re: Script to CHECKOUT multiples tapes on SCSI library
Etienne, What we do is this: MOVE MEDIA * STG=COPYPOOL WHERESTATUS=FULL,FILL CHECKL=NO REMOVE=YES That ejects all the copypool tapes from the library but doesn't affect any other storage pools defined on the same library. Semi-weekly, we eject full and filling tapes (since files can span tapes) and send to our vault vendor. We don't check labels because our library hasn't made any mistakes and an administrator is there to verify the tape ID upon removal. That speeds things up significantly. Then we do an ordinary CHECKOUT of the latest DB backup tape, which is created after all copypool data is written. CHECKOUT LIBV DLTLIB volume_name CHECKL=NO REMOVE=YES So that DB backup has an up-to-date snapshot of the contents of ALL copypool tapes. Then we create a floppy disk holding the updated volume history file and various other system configuration files. We send the copypool tapes, the DB backup tape, and the config floppy to the vault as one package. Good luck.
