Management Class Setup
Hi I need assistance in setting up a management class for a Informix database on a AIX server. We are currently running ADSM server Version 3. The ADSM/API client installed on the server is version 3.1.20.7. We are using the Onbar utility to backup the Informix database to ADSM. The scheduled Informix backups needs to be kept for the following periods : 1) A full backup to run once a week to be kept for 32 days 2) A incremental backup to run daily excluding when the full backup runs to be kept for 32 days. 3) A full backup once a month to be kept for 2 years. 4) A full backup every 3 months to be kept for 1 year. Please take in consideration the Informix logs must also be backed up. I also need to use the same NODE name as well as the same Storage pool when defining the management class. Your help in the above will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Archive and keep last accessed date.
Daniel. I agree the operating system changes the access date. In the same time, I'm convinced you can take control of a file read to not update the last accessed date or at least remember the date and put it back again after the read. I guess the TSM developers have the knowledge to fix an archive or backup without updating the last accessed date. From my point of view as a storage manager, centralised storage management routines should never update the file attributes. They shall always reflect the customer's/user's accesses. I would like to see the TSM archive and TSM backup not updating the last accessed date on the read files. In fact no infrastructure routine should update the attributes. If I like to have a specific process for old files (not used for a long time). How can I find them to, for example, archive (with delete) if there have been some selective backups and/or archive (copy only) executed. The files will not age right from the business point of view. /Lars ___ Lars Danielsson Volvo Information Technology AB Dept 2510, HD2S SE-40508 Gothenburg, Sweden Telephone: +46 31 667479 Telefax: +46 31 662336 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Daniel Sparrman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 4 februari 2002 15:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Archive and keep last accessed date.

Re: Archive and keep last accessed date.
Hi Lars Seems you're doing a manual HSM routine? Why don't use DiskXtender instead? DiskXtender doesn't change the last accessed date/time, and migrates old files, based on your rules, automatically to your storagepool(or storagepools, for example diskopticaltape). The DiskXtender software isn't that expensive, but requires some work to achieve best optimization. For Netware servers, you could use FileWizard TSM from Knozall Software. It has the same function as DiskXtender, but works with Netware 4X/5X. We're using both applications in our demo environment, and it works like a charm.

Re: Management Class Setup
Hi Sean I'd use separate nodenames to be able to handle the different ages of the data. The problem if you should try to use different management classes for the different backups, is that it is the same data you are backing up, so you cannot use the mgmt class option in your opt-file.

Re: Domino TDP
Is it indeed true that there is no bitfile object, as the query inventory indicates the size of this object id is 0.0? Or does TDP store the bitfile object in a container somewhere that I am not looking? TDP for Domino backups are made up of two TSM server objects. You found one of them. We call this the header object. It contains no bitfile data. It contains meta data that describes the backup. The other object is the data object. It has the same name but it has a .DATA appended to the LL object name. It contains the bitfile data for the backup. So in your example, you would have: \MAIL\ 123456.NSF (header) \MAIL\ 123456.NSF.DATA (data) I hope this helps. Thanks, Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Celebrate we will.

Restore failed after locked file encoutered
Hi, please help, we have serious problem restoring files in the following situation: TSM server 4.2.1.7 AIX TSM client 4.2.1.20 on Windows NT4 sp5 6a (also tested with earlier TSM version .15,16,17,18) Problem description: Some stranges problems occurs during file restore. Even after checking on the option Replace files even if read-only/locked in the Modify restore and collision options window, TSM stop the restore session with the error: ANS1139E Post restore processing failed. After that, the session is aborted. This error occurs only when TSM encounter a locked file (in our case the first is Crypt32.DLL). If we look into the dsmerror.log file, we can see the following other error (before the ANS1139E): ANS4037E File 'file-namefile-namefile-name' changed during processing. File skipped. In the documentation this error seems to occur only during backup, archive or migrate operation. The doc don't refer to Restore.. Mabe a mistake in the doc... Mabe not.. By the past (the TSM server was on MVS and at version 4.1.x, we have restored thousands of files without any problem. The locked files where simply skiped and reported as skip.

Re: Management Class Setup
In the inclexcl file you can specify what management classes belong to what file, or filesystems/directories if you want logs to be kept for a certain time period and so forthAs far as setting them up typically if you have different retention periods for different things each one of those retentions would be a management class. Setting them up can either be done by the administrative web interface http://tsm_host_name:1580; or by command line: dsmadmc under define managementclass. --Justin Richard Bleistein Ramnarayan, Sean A [EDS] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SARamnarayan@Ccc: ALTEX.COM Subject: Management Class Setup Sent by: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ST.EDU 02/05/2002 06:17 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Hi I need assistance in setting up a management class for a Informix database on a AIX server.

Re: Archive and keep last accessed date.
Daniel. I have HSM experiences from both mainframe (DFSMShsm) and AIX (Tivoli Space Manager). On well handled data structures HSM is very good. But one of the main reasons for my TSM archive routine is to clean up the directory structure from a great number of files, not only to store cheap. Also, I certainly don't want to handle HSM on 175 file servers. I have still not found an HSM product that meets my requirement for a large Netware file server production environment and that includes your suggestion. The reason for sending in my question was not primarily to discuss the reason for why I like to do TSM archiving or why I shouldn't do it. Because it's not only a matter of TSM I suggest we lift that discussion out of this forum.

Re: Management Class Setup
Sean, Since you will be using onbar, you will be doing full backups (onbar Level Zero or whole_system) or Level One or Level Two backups. Look at an onbar backup / restore guide... they are available for download from the Informix web site... The Level One Two backups are roughly the same as doing incremental backups... Make all your backups archive type backups and this will give them finite expiration days... You CAN NOT do incremental backups using TSM... Make up a management class with copy groups of only the type archive and point your logical logs into the one that has the longest retention because none of your backups will be worth anything without the logical logs to bring a restore back to a point in time. Thus you will have copy groups (archive) with 32 day retention for your weekly, the daily backups will go in there as well and will be some combination of Level Zero (or whole_system) and L1s and L2s (read the onbar backup/restore guide) and your monthly and quarterly backups will be whole_system and you will put them into management class / copy group (archive) for the desired retention. I would suggest if you are serious about actually restoring the 2 year backups, you might consider having your DBA unload the tables to flat files and also back up the database schema to the same directory and then tar the mess to a tape. If your work site is anything like mine, you will be on a different version of TSM Informix in the next few months, let alone next couple years and if you change Informix versions, the TSM backup can likely be restored only to the same version of Informix... This means you have to have a spare server and the old software to be able to recreate the environment present when you did the backup. The DBA will then have to unload the db to flat files in order to be able to load it back to the production environment...

Re: 3494 through SAN Data Gateway
Eric, in case Adolph's recommendation don't work, or cfgmgr gives you another error then the problem is with your 2108 SAN Data Gateway (SDG). Go into the SDG (SAN Data Gateway) firmware and execute the following actions: 1) disableCC 2) setHost 0, aix or setHost 0 AIX 3) setHost 1, aix or setHost 1 AIX 4) and reboot the device. 5) remove the tape drives (rmdev -dl rmt?), the fiber object (rmdev -Rdl fcs?), and then rerun cfgmgr. This action should let see the SDG transparent to the cfgmgr routine. Cheers.

Re: Moving TSM to new Server and OS
Reasons for seperate ADSM instances: All have to do with Database limitations 1. Limits to Database buffer pool allocations. (we run at 600 Meg to 1 Gig per instance and no one is recommending they be increased. the application cannot handle it well) 2. Limits to the recovery log size ( with high volume servers that can fill 100 Megs of recovery logs per minute in regular mode and large files on clients this is exploited) 3. ADSM database unable to deal with long transactions in the database. A 40 Gig file transfer at 3 Megs a second tacks 3.79 hours. After the server crashes, which client was it with 50 sessions running? 4. When the recovery log fills and the server crashes, the logs are replayed at about 5 Gigs per hour. With a 13 Gigs log, it would take TSM 2.5 hours to replay the logs. 5. ADSM application scales well across 4 processors. IBM / Tivoli has not been able to deal with any of these issues on our high volume servers. If you are running a couple hundred clients (250-300) and measure throughput in 100's of Gigs and Terabyte, and you have solutions, I am listening. Today, IBM / Tivoli have worked with us on SOP for ADSM in our environment based on product limitations. Please let me know if these product limitations do not exist anymore.

Re: Licenses (What a joke!)
I'm almost afraid to open this can of worms again, but for the purposes of licensing TSM clients, it's my understanding that what is important is the number and platform type of each node that is 'in use'. 'Q License' tells you how many licenses you 'licensed' on the server (which is arbitrary because there's no cap that I'm aware of) and then it tells you how many are 'in use'. Based on feedback from my initial inquiry on the 'in use' issue, many people mentioned that a license is considered 'in use' if the node has contacted the server in the last 30 days. However 'Q License' doesn't break down 'in use' Backup/Archive (BA) licenses for each platform (at least not in TSM v4.1.5) except when you're talking about things like TDP licenses. So, I asked my Tivoli rep how it was that I was supposed to figure out which platform type each of the 150 'in use' BA clients backing up to my TSM was. Being the 'sales weenie' he is, he told me I'd have to go manually audit the boxes to derive that. I replied that I felt that was a bunch of horseexpletive deleted and that the whole 'Value Based Pricing' (VBP, which also stands for Very Bad Pricing, Very Biased Pricing, etc.) model was a bunch of expletive deleted, too! I invited him to feel free to come down and waste several hours/days of his life logging into the clients trying to reconcile this, and not surprisingly, he declined. Figuring there had to be a better way, I wrote the following query that I think answers the burning question and accurately reconciles the 'in use' BA client license question: SELECT PLATFORM_NAME AS Platform, COUNT(*) AS Number of Nodes FROM NODES - WHERE DAYS(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)-DAYS(LASTACC_TIME) = 30 - GROUP BY PLATFORM_NAME I don't know of any other way to do (and apparently, Tivoli doesn't either). Oh yeah, then you have to figure out which 'Tier' of client yours is based on number of CPU's it has. Many thanks to Tivoli for the VBP!!!

Re: DB Backups to specific tapes
Just list the volumes in the database backup command: backup db type=full devc=yourdevclasshere vol=volser To make this even easier, you can have a pool of volumes to use, in a comma separated list: backup db type=full devc=yourdevclasshere vol=vol1,vol2,vol3,vol4,vol5,vol6,vol7 TSM will go along the list until it finds a volume it can use for the backup. So if, with the command above, vol1 and vol2 already have dbbackups on them, TSM would use vol3. You'll want more volumes than you'll be keeping versions of your database, so you don't starve the database backup process for tapes (I've been told if none of the listed volumes are available, TSM will grab a scratch tape, but I've never tested that). So if you keep 7 versions of your database backup, you'll want at least 7 (I'd recommend 10) tapes, to protect against bad tapes, mistaken checkouts, or other issues. Also, make sure the volumes that you want to use are checked in as Private, not Scratch. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today is the tomorrow of yesterday.

Re: Archive and keep last accessed date.
Hello, Lars. Actually, I've done some pretty extensive testing on this issue under the NT OS. Please see the post... http://msgs.adsm.org/cgi-bin/get/adsm0109/463.html This is a pretty comprehensive test I did to ascertain the fact that the TSM backup client does _NOT_ change the access time. I did, however, encounter a situation where the combination of McAfee Virus Scan (with Outbound File Scan turned on) and the TSM client did modify the Access Time on a large portion of the files, but turning Outbound off alleviated the situation. You can find the posts at... http://msgs.adsm.org/cgi-bin/get/adsm0107/877.html http://msgs.adsm.org/cgi-bin/get/adsm0108/30.html May I ask how you're verifying the change of the Access time? I used a Perl script, myself. If you're using Windows Explorer File Properties menu, that actually access the file itself and updates the Access time.

Daniel. I agree the operating system changes the access date. In the same time, I'm convinced you can take control of a file read to not update the last accessed date or at least remember the date and put it back again after the read. I guess the TSM developers have the knowledge to fix an archive or backup without updating the last accessed date. From my point of view as a storage manager, centralised storage management routines should never update the file attributes. They shall always reflect the customer's/user's accesses. I would like to see the TSM archive and TSM backup not updating the last accessed date on the read files. In fact no infrastructure routine should update the attributes. If I like to have a specific process for old files (not used for a long time). How can I find them to, for example, archive (with delete) if there have been some selective backups and/or archive (copy only) executed. The files will not age right from the business point of view. /Lars ___ Lars Danielsson Volvo Information Technology AB Dept 2510, HD2S SE-40508 Gothenburg, Sweden Telephone: +46 31 667479 Telefax: +46 31 662336 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Daniel Sparrman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 4 februari 2002 15:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Archive and keep last accessed date. Sorry, didn't think about the mess getting on the list. Here's a translation: Hi Lars It's not the TSM client that changes the Last Access date, rather the operating system. Netware, or Windows for that mather, senses when the file is changed by an application, or user, and changes the date accordingly. Therefore, this is probably a setting in the operating system. But I don't now how to handle this in Netware, perhaps you know more about this than me. :) Best Regards Daniel Sparrman --- Daniel Sparrman Exist i Stockholm AB Bergkällavägen 31D 192 79 SOLLENTUNA Växel: 08 - 754 98 00 Mobil: 070 - 399 27 51 Salak Juraj j.salak@ASAMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ER.AT cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: Archive and keep last ADSM: Dist accessed date.

Hej Lars Det är inte TSM klienten som ändrar Last Accessed datumet, utan operativsystemet. Netware, eller Windows för den delen, känner av när filen accessas av en programvara, eller användare, och ändrar därefter datumet. Därför borde denna förändring ligga i operativsystemets inställningar. Jag vet dock inte hur detta hanteras i Netware. Det kanske du kan bättre än mig.

subfile
Hi, Do we have to define include.subfile and include statements seperately for the same file? If no, can we define include.subfile with a management class at the end of include.subfile statement. Best Regards, Burak PS: Is this definition correct to backup c:\text.txt while using subfile? exclude c:\...\* include c:\text.txt MYMGTCLASS include.subfile c:\text.txt
