Re: Why are all my NT files getting backed up again?
The Administrators Guide is a bit vague on the process of determining a file's eligibility due to changes... I assume ADSM uses, file timestamp, filesize as the main items. I'm doubt if it delves as deep as changed inode numbers or fat table entries, as this would produce very large overhead for the server to go and check, and the database would be huge. NT is a different story to Unix, you're either running FAT or NTFS, I'm not sure how TSM under NT will handle a file's physical movement on the disk. I'm surprised if a defragment would trigger incrementals. It's undesirable behaviour really. Admin guide segment follows: The backup of files according to policy defined in the backup copy group of the management class for the files. An incremental backup typically backs up all files that are new or that have changed since the last incremental backup. When a user requests a full incremental backup, TSM performs the following steps to determine eligibility: Checks each file against the user's include-exclude list: * Files that are excluded are not eligible for backup. * If files are not excluded and a management class is specified with the INCLUDE option, TSM uses that management class. * If files are not excluded but a management class is not specified with the INCLUDE option, TSM uses the default management class. * If no include-exclude list exists, all files in the client domain are eligible for backup, and TSM uses the default management class. Checks the management class of each included file: * If there is a bckup copy group, the process continues with step 3. * If there is no backup copy group, the file is not eligible for backup. Checks the mode, frequency, and serialization defined in the backup copy group. Mode Specifies whether the file is backed up only if it has changed since the last backup (modified) or whenever a backup is requested (absolute). Frequency Specifies the minimum number of days that must elapse between backups. Serialization Specifies how files are handled if they are modified while being backed up and what happens if modification occurs. * If the mode is modified and the minimum number of days have elapsed since the file was last backed up, TSM determines if the file has been changed since it was last backed up: * If the file has been changed and the serialization requirement is met, the file is backed up. * If the file has not been changed, it is not backed up. * If the mode is modified and the minimum number of days have not elapsed since the file was last backed up, the file is not eligible for backup. * If the mode is absolute, the minimum number of days have elapsed since the file was last backed up, and the serialization requirement is met, the file is backed up. * If the mode is absolute and the minimum number of days have not elapsed since the file was last backed up, the file is not eligible for backup. -Original Message- From: Ochs, Duane [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 6:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Why are all my NT files getting backed up again? In our environment, I have seen this when a checkdisk has been performed, a drive has been swapped, defragmenting a drive can cause the defragmented data to be sent, moving disks in a SAN. I would have to guess that breaking a mirror set and bringing up the mirror instead of a primary drive could produce the same result. To test you can move all the data from one directory into another and then back to the same directory, I am sure it will all be backed up at the next backup. I do not know every technical nuance to TSM but when the file is scanned and checked against the TSM DB it sees that the file location has changed and there needs to be backed up.

Re: Benefits of moving to platform other than OS/390
Hi Wayne - and others following this thread with interest Firstly, how big is your current environment on OS/390 as far as TSM is concerned. I really do not see OS/390 scaling like AIX when it comes to TSM... I agree that most of the people running OS/390 have all the scheduling/reporting/tape handling sorted out and it works very well. OK - here comes my personal views (Based on 7+ years of running ADSM/TSM on Sun/Aix/NT/2000 and OS/390: General Performance: If you give OS/390 unlimited resources - so, in other words - no memory/cpu contention - it would perform OK. AIX on the other hand will scream if it was running on a S80 for instance. I/O performance: Escon on OS/390 limited to +- 15 Mb/sec - normally you share that with the rest of the LPAR - batch and whatever else you are running. On AIX you have FCP - a lot cheaper and faster than escon implementations on OS/390. Like mentioned already by other members - OS/390 you are limited in terms of robotics you can implement - basically a STK silo or IBM 3494. On AIX you have a very wide range of supported configs. Reporting: You can do all your reporting still from OS/390, even if you are running a TSM server on NT/AIX/Sun. We have all our reporting/problem logging for our TSM environment running from OS/390 - although the TSM servers are a mix of OS/390 and many NT TSM servers. Tape mgmt. your RMM, TLMS etc. are in anycase told that it must not manage TSM data - TSM has that built in. On AIX you just let TSM handle it. At the end of the day the only real benefit I can see on OS/390 and tape handling is if you have electronic vaulting set up - so your robotics and tape drives for your off-site storage pools are located physically off-site but genn'ed as local drives. With scripts and maybe DRM in place it should be just as easy to manage your tapes on AIX as on OS/390. Hope this helps a bit. Regards Christo TSM on S/390 works great here. We have good automation tools for message handling and staff to note messages that haven't been automated. We schedule lots of batch admin clients with the S/390 job scheduler that generate reports that are distributed thru the report distribution software. No performance problems here, except we do have to compete for tape drives... Thank you. __ The information contained in this communication is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Re: Backing up a large file system for a TSM newbie - journal backup
Girl and Guys, lets make it clear - is journal backup feature only available in Windows or I am missing something. If I am not wrong Peter posted in the beginning that is talking about AIX boxes, so journaling TSM feature is not available there.

TSM 4.2 was available and shipped long time ago. Later 4.2.1 came and now is shipping. You can download update to 4.2.1.11. Very soon you should expect 5.1. AIX is shipped together with other platforms according to schedules. If you did not got it why not to check is your company registered on Tivoli web site and request 4.2.1 directly.

AW: Poor Performance with TDP for R/3
Hi Matthias, you should get more! We backup SAP R/3 4.6C directly to tape and get the following statistics. Our TSM Servers is an AIX box (H50) with 1GB memory. Our network is ATM 155Mb and we use 3590E11 drives in a 3494 ATL. BKI0011I: Number of bytes left to be saved: 0 Bytes (0.0%) of 52.053 GB. BKI0022I: Average transmission rate was 71.469 GB/h (20.329 MB/sec). BKI2019I: Compression ratio for backup was 1.70. BKI0021I: Elapsed time: 46 min 55 sec. We use 2 sessions (as we have 2 tape drives) and read 3 files per session in parallel. And we use runlevel compression to remove the binary zeroes of the unused space.

batch-command line interface changed with 4.2.1.0 (scroll prompt )
Sum - we run an external scheduler to do our daily TSM admin cycle: move bkup data from disk to tape, then ba stg, then ba db, then ejects to the vault, etc. We use an external scheduler for this. When we upgraded our ba client (that includes dsmadmc), and it seems because the scroll prompt changed, we could no longer respond correctly to the scroll prompt, causing a loop, causing us to have to copy overlay the dsmadmc executable. ** you may be predisposed to this condition, FYI. Are any others at 4.2.1.0 or higher, have an external scheduler (what, if so), and don't see the problem? ** apar that changed our production world yesterday: IC31087 - ADMIN COMMAND LINE OF TSM 4.2.0.0 RUN IN GERMAN SHOWS 'A'=ABBRECHEN (CANCEL) ON SCROLLPROMPT BUT ONLY 'C' WORKS.

AW: Utilizing All My drives
Hi Bassam, you can define as many processes as you like, but the limitation is the number of free drives. If you define more procs then you have drives, the migration processes wait until there is a drive available (this also happens if some of your drives are used by other processes). For using more than 2 drives you have to set the parameter mount limit in your device-definition to a apropriate value (normally you set this value to 'drives'). You normally set the value maxprocs to a value less then the number of drives, so that other operations can work on tapes too.

You can after setting mountlimit to drives just initiate migration by saying upd stg yourstoragepool hi=0 lo=0 migpr=4 and if there are date from more than 4 clients that should store their data on different tapes (collocation=yes) in that pool, 4 processes should start.

disaster recovery ?
I have been asked the following, if we lost our TSM server and tape library, ATL P2000, with currently 100 slots and 4 drives upgrading soon to 198 or so slots. Would a P1000 work with 2 drives and I believe 100 slots. We are currently managing approximately 140 tapes now. The question is do I have to load all the tapes that are offsite into the library at once to restore it? or can I fill it and answer requests as they come? thanks Paul
Re: Utilizing All My drives
Things that limit migration processes... 1) migproc for the storage pool 2) number of drives in the atl 3) number of unique node's data in the diskpool you are migrating to tape The smallest of these is what will determine how many drives are active... So if you have 6 drives and you upd stg somediskpool migpr=6 and you initiate a migration (drop the high low down to 0) AND you only have two (2) node's data in the diskpool, then only two migration processes will start. AND as soon as one of those node's data is fully migrated, there will only be one process...

Re: Is there a way to email notifications in TSM?
You're right there are some expensive solutions. I believe ServerGraph has the e-mail notification capability, but in our environment we were quoted $35,000 for the initial installation, plus 15% maintenance. TDS for SMA does not have e-mail notice capablity. If you check the ADSM.org archive you will find historical responses to this query which give details on query the activity logs and generating your own e-mail notices. We use a DB2 database loaded every morning after backups, which we query and generate mail from. So I recommend home-grown the best, least expensive, solution.

Re: Why are all my NT files getting backed up again?
In almost all cases, the worst case scenario is that Journal Based Backup will revert to a traditional progressive incremental backup and no additional objects will be backed up. The one possible exception is when virus protection (or potentially other) software saves objects object attributes (for example, last access date/time stamp), modifies them, and then resets them to their original value. In this scenario objects processed by the virus protection software will not be backed up again by traditional incremental backup because candidates for backup are selected based on attribute comparison between the local copy of the object and the copy of the object on the TSM server. Since the Journal service monitors real-time change activity to the filesystem, each object processed by the anti-virus software will generate a change notification and will cause an entry to be added to the journal database, and since Journal Based Backup selects backup candidates based solely on the contents of the journal every object process by the virus protection software (usually the entire filesystem) will be backed up again. Symantec has a fix available for Norton Anti-Virus which allows the caching/resetting of attributes to be turned off during Nav scan processing (please see the TSM readme file for details about obtaining the fix). Anyway, you might want to try turning off any virus protection software (Symantec or otherwise). Hope this helps .

Re: Why are all my NT files getting backed up again?
Pete, Due to the virus scan on a non-journaled backup client, would the metadata be updated at the TSM server ? And when a file is listed as updated in the TSM client log how much data is actually being sent ? Last but not least, is this functionality different in other versions of the TSM server and client ? I am running a 4.1 server on AIX 4.3.3 and varying versions of the NT clients from 4.1.2.12 - 4.1.3.0 . I plan on migrating soon to 4.2 server and all 4.2 clients.

In almost all cases, the worst case scenario is that Journal Based Backup will revert to a traditional progressive incremental backup and no additional objects will be backed up. The one possible exception is when virus protection (or potentially other) software saves objects object attributes (for example, last access date/time stamp), modifies them, and then resets them to their original value. In this scenario objects processed by the virus protection software will not be backed up again by traditional incremental backup because candidates for backup are selected based on attribute comparison between the local copy of the object and the copy of the object on the TSM server. Since the Journal service monitors real-time change activity to the filesystem, each object processed by the anti-virus software will generate a change notification and will cause an entry to be added to the journal database, and since Journal Based Backup selects backup candidates based solely on the contents of the journal every object process by the virus protection software (usually the entire filesystem) will be backed up again. Symantec has a fix available for Norton Anti-Virus which allows the caching/resetting of attributes to be turned off during Nav scan processing (please see the TSM readme file for details about obtaining the fix). Anyway, you might want to try turning off any virus protection software (Symantec or otherwise). Hope this helps .

Re: disaster recovery ?
That should be fine. You will be rebuilding your server offsite, defining the library there, and checking in whichever tapes you want. That library can be anything you want that supports your drives, or no library at all. A lot of people don't even use a library at their DR site; they just have drives. if you have tape drives but no library, you just define your library as manual and respond to mount requests yourself. -Original Message- From: Coviello, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: disaster recovery ?

Reclamation for copy pools
I'm very confused about running reclamation on copy pools, so here is my set up on TSM: 1. Clients back up to either the disk pool or the sequential access tape pool(onsite) 2. Backup copy disk pool to offsite tape pool 3. Backup onsite tape pool to offsite tape pool 4. Migration 5. Expiration 6. Backup devconf, volh, and db Reclamation is set for 60 on both the onsite tape pool and the copy pools(offsite). Every night I run a job that marks the tapes in the offsite copy pool that are full or filling as having offsite access which then removes the tape from the silo and I send it to our offsite vault. All while this is happening reclamation for the offsite copy pools runs whenever the volume has 60% reclaimable space on it and the system is trying to run reclamation on tapes that are at the offsite vault and then in turn the reclamation for that volume fails because it cannot be mounted in the silo. I didn't think it was possible to run reclamations for the tapes that are in the vault. How do I prevent reclamation from trying to reclaim these volumes when they are also technically recognized in the copy pool? My question is: Should the reclamation only be run before my job that marks the tapes that were copied to for the day as offsite? Which in my case would be every day because we send tapes to our offsite vault daily. I also have many volumes in the offsite copy pool that are in the status of pending and they are in the offsite vault. Does TSM interact with TMS to bring those volumes back to the copy pool in the silo or do I have to run a job to do this? Thanks so much for being so helpful! You can't imagine how informative it is just to read everyone's suggestions and comments since I am so new to TSM. Joni Moyer Associate Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] (717)975-8338
Re: Reclamation for copy pools
I think most people do not leave the storage pool reclamation set to 60%. Usually it is set to 100%. Then when you want to run reclamation you setup a scheduled administration command to set the reclamation to 60%. When you want reclamation to stop you schedule another administration command to set it back to 100%. This way reclamation only runs when you want it too. Offsite tapes can be reclaimed when they are off-site. This is done by mounting the primary storage pool tapes to copy the data. This way the off-site tapes never need to be recalled until they are empty. The offsite tapes that are pending will remain that way until you get them back from the vault and update the volume status. Hope this helps.

Re: Why are all my NT files getting backed up again?
Good question. The TSM client won't back up the file again if the archive bit is changed (all other things being unchanged), but it will update the information in the TSM server database. Check the dsmsched.log file to see if the files are actually being backed up, or just updated. Each updated file will show Updating-- instead of Normal File-- if this is the case.

DSMSERV LOADDB with 2 processors
We've been doing some loaddb testing and have found that when we add a second processor (Intel PIII 1 Ghz) the loaddb takes nearly twice as long to run. The loaded DB resulted in about 17GB being used. Auditdb took about the same amount of time to run with 2 processors as with 1. Tested with TSM 4.2.0.0 and 4.2.1.11 on W2K. With 4.2.0.0 the load took 1hr 50 min with 1 processor, 3hr 44 min with 2 processors. Withe 4.2.1.11 the load took 2hr 44m with 1 processor, 4hr 45 min with 2 processors. All of the loads were done from the same unloaded db. CPU utilization with one processor was constantly near 100%, with 2 processors each was running around 50%. Has anyone ever come across this? Does this seem like a bug in loaddb? Thanks, Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg

Re: Reclamation for copy pools
On 22 Mar 2002 at 13:37, Joni Moyer wrote, in part: Reclamation is set for 60 on both the onsite tape pool and the copy pools(offsite). If you have enough tape drives so that reclamations don't interfere with other need for drives, then this is fine. I don't, so my tape pools are set at reclaim=100 for most of the time, and at reclaim=nn for the times I don't mind reclamations starting. In general reclamations are independent of your protecting your server and client data, except that (1) you need to have enough non-full tapes to write new data, and (2) restores are generally faster from relatively full tapes because the generally require fewer tape mounts. ... and then in turn the reclamation for that volume fails because it cannot be mounted in the silo. I didn't think it was possible to run reclamations for the tapes that are in the vault. How do I prevent reclamation from trying to reclaim these volumes when they are also technically recognized in the copy pool? I'm not sure why you get the failure. You surely can reclaim files from offsite tapes ... *SM simply mounts primary volumes (onsite tapes) in its building of a new copypool tape. I've not tried to reclaim a copypool volume that was onsite; does *SM then use the copypool volume directly? If so, it might have been confused by the sequence (1) determine reclaim of a tape is to proceed, (2) your mark tape as offsite, and (3) try to mount tape, only to find tape is set with access=offsite. Pure speculation. I also have many volumes in the offsite copy pool that are in the status of pending and they are in the offsite vault. Does TSM interact with TMS to bring those volumes back to the copy pool in the silo or do I have to run a job to do this? The pending status exists in case you have a disaster and need to restore an old copy of your DB. You want the tapes, as set in that old DB copy, to continue to hold the expected data and not be overwritten. So you set your reuse delay to what makes sense for your DB backups. If you might someday want to restore a DB backup that is 7 days old, your reuse delay must be at least 7. (The alternative is that you can't trust what's on any tape and so must mount and audit all of them. Yeck). I don't have or know TMS, but here is some of what goes on: Your (normally status=full or filling) tapes are set as access=offsite when you take your tapes to the vault (DRM, if you have it, has a couple of intermediate steps). Eventually, because of inventory expirations (and reclamation), the tapes become status=pending. Once your reuse delay completes, the tapes become status=empty ... still with access=offsite. Now you have some logically empty tapes in your vault. At some point you decide to retrieve these for reuse (again, if you have DRM, there are a few states the tapes can go through). Once you have returned the tapes, (remember they're already status=empty), you update their *SM state to access=readwrite (assuming you're using a private pool and not scratching tapes you're done with). (Sorry for the bad grammar!) If you need it, there is a location field that you can use with the update volume/volhist commands to help keep track of where the tapes are really located (if you don't use DRM). With DRM see the Q DRMEDIA and MOVE DRMEDIA commands. Hope this helps, wayne Wayne T. Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] ADSM Technical Coordinator - UNET University of Maine System
Re: Is there a way to email notifications in TSM?
Just want to set the record straight before misconceptions spread: 1. Servergraph/TSM does a GREAT DEAL MORE than send email; 2. For a single TSM server, the price is MUCH less than what John was quoted for his large and complex site; 3. Every TSM-er has to build a monitoring system just to survive, and indeed, there are fairly easy ways to do this. But it's hard to show TRENDS OVER TIME, like Servergraph does. And that's IMPORTANT. Information without context is often useless. For example, maybe your CPU is at 95% for the last 5 minutes. Is that a problem, or not? You don't know. Maybe it's just a momentary spike. You need to see it all through last night's backups, and today's migration / expiration / etc, to decide if you really need to buy more CPU horsepower. And it's the same for every other measurement: NIC utilization, tape library speed, client throughput... You can't make decisions without some context. So: it's not THAT expensive, and it's not something you can easily write. We spent a lot of time building Servergraph/TSM, mainly to help promote an excellent product, Tivoli Storage Manager. Just to set the record straight. Thanks. John Bremer wrote: You're right there are some expensive solutions. I believe ServerGraph has the e-mail notification capability, but in our environment we were quoted $35,000 for the initial installation, plus 15% maintenance. TDS for SMA does not have e-mail notice capablity. If you check the ADSM.org archive you will find historical responses to this query which give details on query the activity logs and generating your own e-mail notices. We use a DB2 database loaded every morning after backups, which we query and generate mail from. So I recommend home-grown the best, least expensive, solution.

Re: Backup StgPool Issue Discovered
Paul,
That is a feature that we rely upon.
Our year-end close-out files go to a separate data path through our system.
Once I have the first copy from the server, I back up to Copypool for a
second copy, then pull both copies for offline storage. I flag both tapes
as unavailable and that exempts them from normal TSM reclamation, etc.
So three years from now, for example, I *still* know which tapes hold which
year-end files and their locations have not changed.

Subject: Backup StgPool Issue Discovered
I found out today it appears that a BACKUP STGpool command will just skip
tapes that are in an UNAVAILABLE, DESTROYED, or DAMAGED status and put out
a
little warning message and give you a SUCCESS. DESTROYED is not a problem
because I took the overt action to say it was destroyed, but skipping
UNAVAILABLE or DAMAGED is not good. I would bet there are hundreds of
customers not aware of this. The exposure is your copypool (disaster
recovery set) may not include all of the data and not a valid restore
point.
Unfortunately, a tape can get in the UNAVAILABLE status just because the
tape library had a problem dismounting the tape.
I have developed a workaround:
select volume_name, access from volumes where access not in
('OFFSITE','READONLY','READWRITE','DESTROYED') and stgpool_name LIKE
'TAPE_%' ANR2034E SELECT: No match found using this criteria. ANS8001I
Return code 11.
This generates a return code 11 if everything is OK, zero is not good.
I am developing a script to do my backup commands and capture if there are
pools with errors.
Everyone may want to at least run this against your primary pools to see if
you have any. All my primary pools begin with TAPE_. Remember % is
splat
and _ is placeholder.

OFM Earns 'Tivoli Ready Certification' for TSM
Hi Folks: Just an FYI. Just wanted to pass on the info that Open File Manager (OFM) has earned 'Tivoli Ready Certification' for Tivoli Storage Manager. I guess this is ok, but I'm still sore that IBM let Veritas steal The Kernel Group's Bare Metal Restore (BMR).

You are doing an INCR instead of a SELECTIVE command right? Forgive me for asking an obvious question, but everyone is lost right now on how to help you with this. -Original Message- From: Louie, James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 3:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Why are all my NT files getting backed up again?

Good question. The TSM client won't back up the file again if the archive bit is changed (all other things being unchanged), but it will update the information in the TSM server database. Check the dsmsched.log file to see if the files are actually being backed up, or just updated. Each updated file will show Updating-- instead of Normal File-- if this is the case.

Re: Is there a way to email notifications in TSM?
Hi Tony, I would be very interested in your method of posting TSM information to the intranet. My group IT manager is always asking for TSM info and to post it our intranet would be a great service.

Just a thought I prepare a number of reports from TSM each morning and present these on our intranet. Using the NT resource kit (SETX) I have introduced a 31 day cycle of these files.

The benefits are; wide audience Management can see results for themselves automated reporting less maintenance I did look at email, but this is better for me!!

You're right there are some expensive solutions. I believe ServerGraph has the e-mail notification capability, but in our environment we were quoted $35,000 for the initial installation, plus 15% maintenance. TDS for SMA does not have e-mail notice capablity. If you check the ADSM.org archive you will find historical responses to this query which give details on query the activity logs and generating your own e-mail notices. We use a DB2 database loaded every morning after backups, which we query and generate mail from. So I recommend home-grown the best, least expensive, solution.

Re: EBU with TSM 4.2
We are in the same situation. We are just implmenting 4.2. I think EBU works with 4.2 but it DOES NOT work with TDP Oracle 2.2, must stay with 2.1. Will try to upgrade Tivoli with EBU in a few weeks. David Longo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/22/02 08:51AM We are currently running Oracle 7(I know needs to be upgraded and were working on it). We are currently running TSM 3.7 on AIX 4.3.3 and looking at upgrading to TSM 4.2 on AIX 4.3.3. My question is can we still use EBU backup from Oracle 7 it we upgrade to TSM 4.2 or will we need to wait till after we upgrade to Oracle 8I and user RMAN? __ Marshael Morris e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Medical Center of Central Georgia phone: (478) 633-2160 353 First Street Suite 200 fax:(478) 633-1546 Macon, Georgia 31201 MMS health-first.org made the following annotations on 03/22/02 21:41:17 -- This message is for the named person's use only.
