Re: Confused Over W2K Maintenance Level

[Seay, Paul]

Build levels are not shown on the patches.  You are at 4.2.1.0 Patch Level.
You actually installed 4.2.1.0 not 4.2.0.0, right.  It is highly recommened
to put on at least patch 4.2.1.20 or higher.  4.2.1.30 is the current one.
Note that patches are not released on CD.  You have to load them down from
the ftpsite.

Re: lanfree backup 4.2.1 win2k/aix4.3.3 problem

[Dave Canan]

Are you doing any kind of backup that may involve management class
rebinding? There is an open APAR for lanfree backups when rebinding is
performed. This APAR will be fixed in TSM 4.2.2.0.

Re: Confused Over W2K Maintenance Level

I'm running 4.2.1.9 and the MMC reports 4.2.1.9220 . The property page
reports Version 4, Release 2, Level, Fix 9, Build 4... If you installed 4.2
without installing any patches of PTF's your at fix level 0.

Hello,

We are looking to use TSM to backup over fibre attached client to a STK
Powderhorn controlled by ACSLS.
The TSM server is on a solaris server and the ACSLS is a separate solaris
server. What do I need on my TSM server to be able to communicate to the
ACSLS server? I see there is LibAttach software for Windows. Whats the equiv
for Solaris?

Re: Configuring a VM TSM Replacement

[Seay, Paul]

Your Tivoli Support Team should be able to answer this question at least in
AIX processor terms.  This is what I think:
(1) AIX P660 4 processor with 2GB memory (equivalent) (2) if you
want to have good capacity.

What kind of database size do you have?  That is a key missing sizing
element here.  1 P660 could handle the amount of data you have if you use a
Gigabit network with dual Gigabit adapters and a limit of 200 simultaneous
sessions.  The key is the size of the database.  Also, like on VM/MVS you
can run multiple copies of the TSM server on AIX and probably Solaris.  Just
different ports for each one.

I have 1 P660 backing up a 8TB Windows server environment (clients), many
are 100mbit connected, 20 or so are gigabit.  My P660 is as above, but it is
connected to a Shark so that makes the database fly.  This all depends on
your database size and whether you want to run a multi-server configuration.
I am backing up about 300GB/night and the P660 isn't even doing anything
half the time.

The nice piece about SAN connected tape is it flies on copy pool copies of
large files and large file backups, but you have to have gigabit on the
network side to get the data there and your clients have to have high end
disk in them.

For the little amount of data you are backing up.  I would buy 500GB of
high-end disk (T3s are not high-end disk), scale back on the number servers,
run everything to disk pools, and use the tape drives only for migrations,
restores, and copy pools.

Hi

We are moving TSM off of our IBM mainframe to a SUN Solaris environment and
would like feedback regarding the model/size of the SUN boxes other shops
are using to run TSM.

Our site:
We're currently running an IBM 9121 mainframe configured with two LPARs
running VM/ESA. We have about 4000 TSM users registered across 4 TSM servers
(~1000 users per TSM server). We receive about 50GB of data each day to each
server althought this can vary anywhere from 25 to 75 GB a day on any given
server. Maximum concurrent users at peak times can reach about 100 sessions
on each server. Our tape configuration consists of an IBM 3494 tape library
with 6 3590 E1A drives which we plan on SCSI or fiber attaching in the new
environment.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone running TSM on SUN servers with any
of the following information:

- what model/size box (other specs if available)
- how many users registered on each box
- maximum simultaneous users sessions
- how much data backed up daily
- tape configuration info
- attached to SAN?
- comments on performance

Thanks

Re: Confused Over W2K Maintenance Level

[Andrew Raibeck]

You don't say which TSM component you are interested in. I understand you
are using the TSM server's MMC facility to display TSM component version
info, but which component's version info are you asking about?

>> Can anybody tell me how I can find what PTF level reflects what
maintenance number?  And, what is this 4.2.1.68? <<

I have not idea what the 4.2.1.68 is. It certainly isn't a client level.
The latest Windows client patch level is 4.2.1.30. The web page points
your to 4.2.1.20 because that is the latest level that has had extensive
testing. Subsequent patches are available from the FTP site in the
storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches directory structure.

If you need to know which client level is installed on your machine, the
definitive means of doing so is to start dsmc and look at the version
information it displays upon startup. or to start dsm, then select the
Help/About menu item.

If your question concerns the TSM client, and the client levels reported
via the MMC do not agree with what dsmc or dsm show you, then you should
report the problem to IBM support.

Running W2K 4.2,  when looking at the Tivoli MMC version information, TSM

the highest maintenance level I see is 4.2.1.20.

Re: Nohup Scheduler Service.

We start the scheduler from the inittab with the respawn parm -

example:

adsm::respawn:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1
#Start the client schedule

This works great for us.

Re: Purge Summary Table

[Don France (TSMnews)]

Curtis,

Try setting summaryretention to 1, stop the server, change system date to 2
days later than the bad date, start dsmserv, ACCEPT DATE -- all of this with
sessions and schedules disabled, to prevent further records;  after purge
processing, stop the server, reset system date, start dsmserv, set retention
to desired interval, maybe 30 --- did you already do an ACCEPT DATE cmd
(after the accidental time-source problem)?

This sounds like you need a debug command to clear up;  did you get any help
from TSM Support folks?  I'd guess other folks have this problem, but might
not notice until they run an open-ended date on their query (like TDS does).

Don

Confused Over W2K Maintenance Level

[Al Narzisi]

Running W2K 4.2,  when looking at the Tivoli MMC version information, TSM reports 
4.2.1.69 and 4.2.1.68.  When I check the Tivoli support web page the highest 
maintenance level I see is 4.2.1.20.

Can anybody tell me how I can find what PTF level reflects what maintenance number?  
And, what is this 4.2.1.68?

Thanks,
Al

Re: Purge Summary Table

[Alex Paschal]

You might try... disabling your various commmethods so sessions can't
start/stop and disable your scheduler for your processes so nothing gets
logged to the summary table during this process.  Then set your system time
to 2 months after the bad record, make sure that record expires off, set the
time back to normal, then quit your session.  Hopefully it won't log your
session to the summary table until your session ends.  Or, at least, that's
how the accounting log works.  It might be worth a shot.  Unless the Summary
table is purged by a process?  I didn't see anything about that in the
manual.

Going from the other end, and I haven't worked with it, but maybe there's a
way to change how TDS constructs its report or retrieves its data?

Subject: Purge Summary Table


I plan to call the support center in a bit but thought I'd throw this out to
the experts and see if anyone has any thoughts.

TSM Server 4.2.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3 ML6.

The time source that we use for our machines got set to the year 2021
recently (that's another whole story!). As a result we have a record in the
summary table from 2021. We are in the process of setting up TDS reporting
and it turns out that is uses the summary table as part of the input. The
command below gets issues when you run the TDS loader.

03/28/2002 06:52:29  ANR2017I Administrator ISMBATCH issued command: DEFINE
CURSOR C3330188 SQL="SELECT * from SUMMARY where END_TIME >= '2021-08-18
06:02:19' order by END_TIME"

As a result a majority of the cubes that get built as part of TDS are empty.
We have been running with the summaryretention set to 30. I reset it to 0
hoping it would reset the table. No luck. Started and stopped TSM while it
was set to 0...still no luck.

Looking for a way to purge the record from the database. Here's the
offending record:

START_TIME: 2021-08-18 06:00:06.00

Hi

We are moving TSM off of our IBM mainframe to a SUN Solaris environment
and would like feedback regarding the model/size of the SUN boxes other shops
are using to run TSM.

Our site:
We're currently running an IBM 9121 mainframe configured with two LPARs
running VM/ESA. We have about 4000 TSM users registered across 4 TSM
servers (~1000 users per TSM server). We receive about 50GB of data
each day to each server althought this can vary anywhere from 25 to 75
GB a day on any given server. Maximum concurrent users at peak times
can reach about 100 sessions on each server. Our tape configuration
consists of an IBM 3494 tape library with 6 3590 E1A drives which we
plan on SCSI or fiber attaching in the new environment.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone running TSM on SUN servers with
any of the following information:

- what model/size box (other specs if available)
- how many users registered on each box
- maximum simultaneous users sessions
- how much data backed up daily
- tape configuration info
- attached to SAN?
- comments on performance

Thanks

NW5 and Client Version 4.2.1

[Newswanger, Bryan (NEWSWABS)]

I am in the process of testing Adstar/Tivoli for our enterprise backup
solution for NetWare. I started using  the Tivoli client in the beginning of
March on two servers. One server is NW5.0 Sp6a the other NW5.1 Sp2a. We are
only backing up the user data at this time (~90 gig of user data on each
server). Everything ran fine for the first 3 weeks then the NW5.0 server
started to "freeze" during the backups. The processor is still active, but
we cannot access the server from the console nor through the network. The
only changes to the server was the addition of the Tivoli client. I haven't
enabled the MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP  option yet. I didn't think it would be
necessary because each server has 1Gig of memory.

Has anyone seen this or does anyone have any suggestions.

Re: 3583 LTO library

[Mark Bertrand]

We also have a 3583 LTO with 60 cartridges (advertised) capacity plus 12 I/O
slots and have seen this multiple times before.

If you call Tivoli or IBM hardware support, their answer is to shut
everything down and restart. On initialization the system will correct
itself, and it does.

The problem is, as you use the system it tends to "loose" slots. We have
been running our 3583 for almost a year and I can count on one hand the
times that we have been able to use all 60 slots.

Since we are reaching capacity and need all 60 slots, plus some other issues
(See results of adsm.org search results for 3583) we have opened a crit sys
ticket which has resulted in a firmware upgrade for the changer, library,
and all drives in our system in addition to a complete cartridge holder
change for each internal 6 pack cartridge holder to a slightly bigger slot
type. The new cartridge holders were developed to accept a wider range of
LTO manufacture's tapes.

We will see if this helps.

That will help, but you can also do the AS "[ lots of spaces ]" to lengthen
the output field.  What we really need is a set displaymode=fixedraw.

This is an example of something that I do:

select stgpool_name as "Storage Pool Name ",
cast(sum(est_capacity_MB*pct_utilized/100/1024) as decimal(7,3)) as "Total
GB in Pool", cast(avg(est_capacity_MB*pct_utilized/100/1024) as
decimal(7,3)) as "AVG GB / Tape", cast(count(volume_name) as decimal(4,0))
as "Tapes " from volumes where stgpool_name like 'CPY%' or stgpool_name like
'TAPE%' group by stgpool_name

Notice that he stgpool_name field is lenghtened to prevent the wrap by
adding the spaces.

Hello Matt,
remove the -TAB and use -DISPLAY=LIST instead.
I believe this is what you are looking for.

Ike,
I am running the following batch job.  I added the  -TAB and tried
-OUTFILE with a redirect in the macro to the data set and that didn't work
either.  

Re: Rman/TSm

[Neil Rasmussen]

One thing to note about TDPO_AVG_SIZE when using TDP for Oracle 2.2, and
more importantly when using TDP for Oracle 2.2 with Oracle 8i or greater
is that we no longer require the use of TDPO_AVG_SIZE. It used to be that
Oracle (versions prior to 8i) did not send the size of the backup to TDP
for Oracle. With 8i Oracle, the size of the backup piece which we send to
the TSM Server is sent in place of TDPO_AVG_SIZE.

Registry backup errors on NT file server

[Pucky, Todd M.]

TSMers,

I recently upgraded a Windows NT 4.0 SP6 file server from TSM client 4.1.0
to 4.1.3.  After the upgrade I began receiving these messages in the
dsmerror.log.  It appears the registry is backing up fine, but these errors
appear on every scheduled backup.  Has anyone seen these errors before?  Is
this something to be concerned about?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: Disk Availability

[Miles Purdy]

Hi Goeff, 
there are many things that you can do, depending on what you want. 

However, I would not be so concerned about an adapter failing, failing disks are much 
more common.

Here are some things to do/consider:
1. put each adapter on a separate PCI bus.
2. balance the disks over the adapters.
3. if you really don't care if a disk fails, use RAID 0, if the system can't go down 
use RAID 5.
4. Lately I have been using hardware RAID and LVM striping, the reliability and 
performance is very good.
5. If you are putting you TSM DB and LOG on these disks: I might not use any kinda of 
striping: JBOD or RAID 1, is probably better. Using TSM mirroring across SSA adapter 
is probably best too.
6. if your using  filesystems on these disks, use RAID and LVM striping.

Miles

Hi all,

I'm working on installing a second SSA drawer in my system. I'd like any
opinions as to best connect this. What I've got is an M80 with 2 SSA
controllers, and now, 2 SSA drawers full of 36gb disks. What would be the
best way to connect this so no matter what happens to the controllers all
the disk would still be available? Is there a different solution I should
use?

Thanks for the help.

Re: Disk Availability

[Francisco Molero]

Hi,

the best solution is 4 loops of 8 disks, in addition
you can place the db the db mirror the log and the log
mirror in each one of the 4 virtual disk. Also you can
define a raid 0 for the disks, and the db and tsm log
mirrors must be tsm mirror.

Re: Copy Stgpool and Migrations

[Francisco Molero]

Hi,
you can run all commands in a script, then you can run
the commands one per one. In addicion, you should see
the options movebatchsize ( 1000) and movesizethresh
(500), this options improve the performance in process
like migration , backup stg, reclamations,etc..

3583 LTO library

[Burak Demircan]

Hi, 

I have a 3583 LTO library with 60 cartridges capacity plus 12 I/O slots. 

Today, when I try to check-in 6 new cartridges to my library that has 54 
cartridges currently in it, 
TSM responded that the library is FULL. But when i go to library screen and 
look at 
system info, it says that 6 slots are empty. The 6 slots are in the same 
magazine under the 
the 2 I/O magazines. What could be the problem? Any help appreciated. 
Regards, 

Burak
