winnt 4 registry
Hi, How can I backup registry of winnt 4 if I do not want to backup drive C? As much as I know, TSM exports registry to c:\adsm.sys folder. How can I backup the registry but can't the drive C at the same time? Best Regards, Burak Demircan

We are now backuping up 1 unix server and 12 Windows clients (Windows 2000 Server, SP2). We are using TSM Server 4.2.1.9 on a Unix server (S7A) and use TSM Client 4.2.1.20 on all the windows clients. We use a 3583 Ultrium Tape Lib, with 2 drives. Problem 1 : Unfortunately we have problems with the TSM Client on 3 of our Windows machines, - 1 machine fails to start the TSM Scheduler service during boottime, if we start it manually, it runs, but crashes several times during backup. (we do an "autorestart", if the service fails) - the other 2 machines always start the backup, but the client (tsm scheduler) crashes after a certain time, are amount of files. There is not really a fixed point where the service crashes. If backup is launched from the scheduler, dsmsvc.exe crashes, if we start the backup manually with dsmc incr, dmsc.exe crashes. Does anybody know what the fastest way is to solve this ? Problem 2 : - During migration from disk to tape, I can see (on the display) that the 2 tapedrives are not constantly writing data to tape, it's always writing for a short period of time, waiting for a longer period, writing, and so on ... Is this normal ? Is there anything I can check or do ? Shouldn't the tapestreamers really stream data from disk ?

Does anyone have bare metal restore prodcedure for SGI/Irix clients
Hello, Does anyone have bare metal restore procedures for SGI/Irix clients? We used to just boot off the SGI install disks, to a mini-root, and then tftp dsmc over to restore the original system, but now it seems that the dsmc module for the new 4.2 client needs libraries that don't exist on the mini-root of the boot disk, hence we can't run dsmc to restore the original system...

Re: Storage Pool Migration and Mediawait question/problem
Hello Tab, Thank you for your reply, you are absolutely wright ! A few days ago we changed our diskpool from 1 volume of 16 Gb. to 16 volumes of 1 Gb. This gives a whole lot of difference !! I watched the backup (quite interesting) the whole night (didn't go to sleep), and saw that no Media Wait occured. According the advice from somebody else in this newsgroup we lowered the high mig threshold to 50 %. Now the backuppool gets to a maximum of 80 % Util.

If you encounter media wait status during migrations at the low migration thresholds you have set, either the "next" file won't fit in the remaining space and all downstream tape drives are in use, or you have only one or two disk volumes and the client can't get a lock on another volume to use while the migration is running. I personally subscribe to the theory that more volumes (within reason) are better. Most of my disk pools consist of many 1000 MB volumes. I have migration threshold set to 75% and I NEVER see "waiting for mount" messages in the backup logs. And my disk pools are "too small" by TSM best practice standards. Good luck.

quiesce the database - possible?
Hi together, we run TSM-server 4.1.3.0 on OS/390 R2.10. Now we want to save our TSM-database with dss concurrent copy. For this its neccesary that on start of the cc-job the database is not in use (nothing should be changed in the db at this moment) Usually we have to shut down the running tsm-task and have to wait until the cc-job has started. But is there a chance to quiesce the db without stopping the tsm-task? Is this possible? -- regards / Mit freundlichen Gruessen Joachim Stumpf Datev eG

AIX 4.3.3 Maintenance Levels with both TSM Server version 3.7.1 a nd 4.2.1
I'm about to perform a Maintenance Level upgrade on my AIX 4.3.3.0 Operating System. Have been running TSM Server version 3.7.1 since 12/1999 on the original AIX 4.3.3.0 just fine. I'm told that TSM 4.2.1 Server (for AIX) requires AIX 4.3.3 Maintenance Level 6 or later, and it was suggested that I go right to Maintenance Level 9. I run the Pre-Installation Check command "lppchk -v" successfully. When I issue the next command "lppchk -c" I get 5 errors. /usr/lpp/atldd/atltrc could not be found /usr/lpp/atldd/mtevent could not be found /usr/lpp/atldd/mtlibio.h could not be found /usr/lpp/atldd/trcatl could not be found /usr/lpp/atldd/mtlib could not be found I'm thinking that one of the earlier Maint. Levels might've fixed these problems... I'm looking for advice on performing the Maintenance Level upgrade on AIX 4.3.3. - Do I need to shutdown the TSM Server to perform the AIX 4.3.3 Maintenance Level upgrade? - Will I have a problem with my existing TSM 3.7.1 server when upgrading to M.L. 9? - I'm told that the AIX command "oslevel -r" only works with a Maintenance Level release higher than where I'm at (like M.L. 4 or higher?)

dsmc job = what tsm server session?
Who can help with this one? When I do a series of backups or archives on a client and send the output to a file (like the dsmsched.log) I would like a way that I can correlate which of the client dsmc jobs belongs to a given server session number. As I do many archives and backups from a single client and possibly at the same time, comparing the start time does not help. Note: I have restricted the configuration so that 1 dsmc command will only have a single corresponding server session, for these backups and archives.

TSM Service failed during startup - Event ID 7022
On several of our NT and Win2K machines, with the 4.2.1.20 or 4.2.1 or 4.2.0 TSM client you get an error on startup/reboot "At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use EvenViewer to examine the event log for details." The Event Log shows: Event ID: 7022 Source: Service Control Manager Type: Error Description: The TSM Central Scheduler Service hung on starting Even though the pop up error showed failed, and the event log showed hung, the service shows started and the schedule appears to run normally. On one NT Server, in order not to get the error, we had to install Version 3 of the client. Any ideas? Stormy Maddux
Database Specs
I'm running TSM v 4.1.3 on System\390. My database is 47G and spread across 25 physical volumes (gets a 78% cache hit / not so great). One of my performance and tuning books recommends not spreading your database over more than 12 physical volumes. Could anyone explain why? What kind of performance/utilazation "hit" am I going to incur by having my db spread across 25 volumes?

compression
Currently running TSM v 4.1.3 on System\390. Run compression on the client as well as harware compression on Device type Cartridge and 3590. Ideally this is not the way to go... but we need to run compression on the client due to network constraints. Is it a FACT that running a compression routine 2x will ultimately double the size of the original file? Where can I find more info on this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Mitigating Risk with TSM's incremental backups
Do not forget about DB backup sent off-site. Most probably you are moving them but did not mentioned. The reusedelay and DB backup retension should set that only after a DB backup with information about the new volume where data is copied as result of copy pool reclamation the old reclaimed tape can become "empty" and be brought on-site. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Justin Derrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 24.01.2002 15:05:30 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Mitigating Risk with TSM's incremental backups I've been using TSM for quite a few years on AIX, and surprisingly, this issue hasn't come up before. My customer is using TSM in conjunction with Content Manager OnDemand. The config looks like this: AIX 4.3.3 on H70 OnDemand, DB2, TSM Data is cached on disk (by OnDemand, not TSM), and also copied to Optical (a la 3995), then backed up to LTO. They are currently a very low-volume shop, adding under 1GB a day to the TSM system. The question raised to which I didn't have a good answer was: If we take a non-full LTO offsite for disaster recovery purposes, then bring it back onsite as part of regular rotation, a vulnerability is created. If the tape is on site when a disaster occurs (which would always be the case since their courier only delivers once a day), not only is that day's information lost, but all the previous days of incrementals previously written to the tape are destroyed as well. I know we could keep multiple copypools in the chain, but it seems like an expensive solution to a simple problem. The immediate solution would be to create new 'full' backups of the contents of the optical jukebox every day, and take them offsite. While this would actually be feasible in the short term (given their low growth) it would quickly become unmanagible in the future. Is the solution to simply buy enough tapes so that you simply send one tape a day offsite for as long as possible, then perform large reclaimation once every 'long as possible'? This sounds like it's within the realm of the DRM, which I'm woefully inexperienced with. Any advice, direction, etc. would be greatly appreciated. -JD.

Re: Mitigating Risk with TSM's incremental backups
Only one remark: As Kelly pointed reusedelay parameter has to be set how long to keep already reclaimed tape before reuse. This is parameter for both primary and copy pools. *BUT* the parameter also must be greater than the oldest DB backup kept on-site and off-site. If you restore from DB backup say 4 days old but reusedelay is set to only 2 days a tape reclaimed 2 days ago may be reused again. And DB restore from 4-days old DB backup does not know about that !! So bring back on-site only "empty" tapes. If tape is in state "pending" this means its data is already reclaimed on another cartridge but we still have old DB backup unaware of the fact. And as a rule of thumb: perform "del volh tod=- t=dbb" using daily administrative schedule and have reusedelay for every storage pool longer than days. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant "Kauffman, Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 24.01.2002 16:32:06 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: Mitigating Risk with TSM's incremental backups I'd suggest using TSM to back the data up to LTO, then back up the LTO storage pool to a copy pool and send the copies off-site. Run reclaims and only bring back empty or pending empty off-site tapes. My worst case sends off a tape that is 5% full daily. The reclaim actually kicks in just after the tapes are checked out. The downside to this is the number of $110 LTO tapes you need, and that's a function of how often you move tapes off-site and how often you bring back the empties. You don't need DRM for this, although it may help (never tried it, so I can't help there). I've got a few conventions I use and a few scripts that simplify life, and we ship off-site daily, with the empties coming back on Friday. The naming convention I use is as diskpool, -LT as tape pool, and -LT-COPY as copy pool: INDEF (disk pool for our commonstore), INDEF-LT, and INDEF-LT-COPY. One of the daily scripts does the backup storage pool. Another does a "q vol stg=*copy acce=reado,readw st=fil,ful", captures the volsers and does the "checkout libvol remove=bulk checklabel=no". A typical day sees 8 tapes going off-site, including the TSM database backup; a normal Friday has 40 tapes coming back, including 5 week-old TSM database backups.

Re: compression
Joe - if the 2 compresion processes are both software, the yes, the output of the 2nd compression will be large than its input. But if the 2nd compression is being done by a tape drive, the drive will be smart enough to stop the compression if the file grows. It least that is the case for 3590 & 9840. I am doing exactly what you are doing and I get 19.2 GB on a 9840, which is the nominal uncompressed capacity.

Re: Database Specs
What Performance Tuning Manual are you refering too? I am not sure of the maximum number of volumes but you SHOULD define more than one volume for the database, and put these volumes on separate disks because it allows simultaneous access to different parts of the database. Also, if you want to really use disk space efficiently, allocate a few large disk volumes rather than many small disk volumes. You can avoid losing space to the overhead processing that TSM does.

Try this (on Unix, for Windows you need to obtain/replace awk somehow):
dsmadmc -id= -pa= 'q ac begind=-5 ' | awk '$3 ~
/2561|821[2-5]/ {print $7}' | sort -u
The result will give you list of all nodes contacted by the server in

ANR8212E-ANR8215E are failures on connect attempts.

This will happen if you have specified the subdir option yes, and have specified a filespace that does not contain sub-directories. .. For example: When running the command dsmc i /etc -su=yes you will encounter the ANS1028S error message. During this command the client scans the root file system and tries to find "etc" objects. During this search it issues a number of stat/lstat (AIX system) calls against the scanned directory structure. If we use NFSTIMEOUT <> 0, our client uses dsmstat executables which are actually virtual stat calls. When we set NFSTIMEOUT = 0 the client uses native OS calls. .. A SERVICE trace taken during the backup has the following entries during the time of the failure. incrdrv.cpp (5883): PrivIncrFileSpace: Received rc=106 from fioGetDirEntries: / /.cedit incrdrv.cpp (5883): PrivIncrFileSpace: Received rc=106 from fioGetDirEntries: / /.ddd incrdrv.cpp (5883): PrivIncrFileSpace: Received rc=106 from fioGetDirEntries: / /.dt/Desktop aix/pserrno.cpp (220): TransErrno: Unexpected error from lstat, errno = 32 incrdrv.cpp (5883): PrivIncrFileSpace: Received rc=131 from fioGetDirEntries: / /.dt/help/root-murphy-0 ANS1028S Internal program error. Please see your service Local Fix: Setting NFSTimeout to 0 has provided a workaround for this problem. -Original Message- From: George Lesho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 10:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM error log question No files in the lost+found directory at all...

Re: Backup of Sun OS
SUN's equivalent to AIX's 'mksysb' is: ufsdump (backup OS) and ufsrestore (restore filesystems). Sorry, I don't have sample scripts, however, you can go to SUN's website, www.sun.com, and do a search of ufsdump to get the online command reference. PS. It's free.

The problem is that our Unix team wants to backup a running Sun OS and then later on restore this backed up OS backup and boot the machine from there, which of course did not work. I know AIX has the make sysb solution for this, does anybody know of a solution for SUN. TSM version 4.2.1.9 on AIX 4.3.3 Thanks Andrea Mac Murray Sen.

backing up to tape/OS/390
Environment: System/390 device type: Cartridge/3590 TSM 4.1.3 Server TSM client 3.1.06 Scenario: I get notified in advance that I'll need to restore multiple clients (gigs worth of data) on a given weekend. I manually kick off a base backup to a "spare" TSM server on Friday night so when the call comes in (over the weekend) to restore the servers, I restore from a relatively quiet TSM server. I'm not contending with the production backup cycle. The problem: This backed up data gets migrated to tape prior to my restore. Invariably, multiple servers' data ends up on one tape. i.e. only one server can restore at a time. The question: Is there a way to direct the backup data of a particular server to a specific tape so I can run multiple restores from multiple tapes at the same time? This is killing me... Good suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Joe
