How do I know what tape/s my data is on?
Ok guys,
Here is a puzzler for you.
Lets say that I have a primary tape pool, but I DONT have a secondary
pool. (IE data ONLY goes to tape once with NO second copy). We then send
those tapes offsite. (This saves us valuable space in the tape
library).
One month later, a customer asks for an archive to be retrieved from
those tapes.
How do I know what tapes to retrieve? - These archives would have built
up over a period of time, so there may be more than 10 tapes offsite and
I dont want them all!!.
Is there a way that I can find out which set of tapes my archived data
is on? - Bearing in mind that if reclamation is also run of this pool,
then the data may possibly be moved around on a regular basis.
Any help would be greatfully recieved.

Redirecting Commands in Scripts
Hello all, I found questions like this in the archives, but no answers.. One more try = I want to run a script, where one line should look like this: QUERY SYSTEM DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM where DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM is a S390 Filename I want to take to the OFFSITE Location. (This Command works great on the command line, but I want to have it in a script!) However - I tried to do it like this: def script test desc='Test' upd script test QUERY SYSTEM DSM.OUTPUT Result: ANR1454I DEFINE SCRIPT: Command script TEST defined. ANR2002E Missing closing quote character. ANS8001I Return code 3. Any hints how to route an output to a file in a script ? I guess, the problem is, that TSM wants to direct the Output of the Update Stmt to a file - and when doing this, one quote is missing, of course We are running TSM 3.7.5 on S390 (I know, not supported, but I guess this should work on all versions) Regards Gerhard Wolkerstorfer
Re: How do I know what tape/s my data is on?
Roy,
I hesitate to answer your question,
because it would support you in a VERY BAD practise.
I find operation with only single copy of data simply irresponsible.
The costs for second copy are very low - only couple of tape media.
Do rethink this design, consider creating backup pool.
This makes it possible to keep tapes from primary pool
unloaded from library but still on-site,
thus eliminating your find-correct-tape problem.
regards
Juraj Salak

Re: Monthly Backups, ...again!: The Real Issues
We are not calling them exactly Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 but are using the same rules for collocation. There is a slight modification - you can manually collocate by creating Class 3a, Class 3b, etc. So the tape pool for Class 3something would not be too big and on restore you will need less tapes. And Class 3z may become Class 4 with all-those-absolutely-non-critical-nodes and unlimited number of tapes in it. I also enjoy debates. And many threads on this list are about *proper* TSM (now ISM) setup. I have seen a customer using Oracle database through ODBC as plain dBase files with own relations logic on top of this. Guess what was the performace. From this I cannot say Oracle is abnormally slow database, right? Weird setup does not mean the product is bad. That's why for example Incremental-forever does not work with TDP (now ISM for ...) products. If MS Exchange had adopted this nice backup technique and APIs allow some kind of mapping of IS to filespace name, Mailboxes to directories and folders to files ... We could have incremental-forever with restore granularity down to a folder and subfile backup can help us to transfer only new/deleted messages. Or something even better. Same for Oracle for example - instances may be same type of object as filespaces, tablespaces - directories and tables vs files. BTW: explaining to customer I prefer to use term object pointing that for B/A client this is an ordinary file but for TDP is application dependant. And from this point of view I explain why many good sides of Progressive Backup go away. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant P.S. And completely new things demand from us to change our way of thinking. Same as a century ago there was speed limit for cars of 5 km/h and a man with red sign ought to walk in front of the car to warn the public and prevent horses to panic!!! I am not kidding. Zlatko Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: Monthly Backups, ...again!: The Real Issues I enjoy TSM debates, but one that has not sold me yet is this particular one. Yes, I come from a different environment (than Incremental-forever). One of the biggest drawbacks of the old ADSM was the abnormal slow restores and this has been notified by a collegue of mine of why his previous job did not get ADSM back in the early 90's. My suspicion was this Incremental-forever and here I see why. It all relies on the collocate issue. If you have numerous tapes and numerous drives than collocate will make Incremental-forever a quck restore. I started with 2 drives 80 clients and 500 tapes leading to no-collocate. When restoring 2 GB+ restores that were spread out over 70-100 tapes this took almost 8 hours (note this took about 1 year to get to 70-100 tapes). At our DR test we noticed a diffence of 6 times a normal restore for no-collocate versus a backupset. But on the other hand I brought that restore time down when splitting the restore into 5 separate restores for 5 tape drives (I currently have 6 drives). So the no-collocate will work if the right amount of tape drives are available (our 3570 are pretty expensive). Now in the real world you usually have 1-2 tape drives for restores (dedicated) and you cannot afford to send 80 tapes off every night for collocate, so what we are gravitating to is a class1, class2, and class3 system. class1 will be our DRM critical restore with collocate onsite and offsite, class2 our noncritical but high restore class with collocate onsite and noncollocate offsite. and then the good class3 with nocollocate onsite or offsite. The monthlys or Absolutes will be used to stop the spreading of info over 70 -100 tapes. It may not be true, but I seem to see the more reclamation the more spreading of info. and I would have thought that the reclamation would bring info closer together. All it takes is one time of getting burned with the 70-100 tape restore spread. We have presently moved data from one server to another 7 GB and used TSM to do this. If the manual full had not be done the night before (which has happened) then I still be restoring as we speak. There are more good things about fulls than meets the eye. Now I know not all restores are 2 GB+ but I do see more and more and we will all have to deal with it in our own ways. Just 1 way of dealing with it. Not the only but a way is better than no way.

Re: TSM DB Fullbackup 19GB takes 4 hours on OS/390 VTS
I am going over ESCON. I have an issue with TSM that I would watch TSM use more and more CPU and actually do less and less. I found that stopping and starting TSM on a weekly basis would get me past it. I have sent them dumps and logs. They said to STOP draining my DISK pool to 0. SO I am trying that. Anyway, my point is, try bringing TSM down and Up and check the throughput then. It may also be worth your time to check and make sure that TSM is in the proper Work Load Manager service class (of course that is only an issue if the machine is running 100%).

Re: TSM DB Fullbackup 19GB takes 4 hours on OS/390 VTS
Why are you writing a 19GB dataset to the VTS? The VTS is designed to handle small datasets, usually a few 100MB and at most what you can fit on one 3490 cartridge. To do this backup the VTS will have to mount 19+ scratch volumes. The VTS will also need space on the VTS disk cache for such a large dataset, so you could have the VTS spending time trying to offload data from the disk cache to the 3590 stacking tapes. This could be slowing down your backup. What else is happening on the VTS when you are doing this backup? Which model of VTS do you have?

Subject: Redirecting Commands in Scripts
Hello all,
I found questions like this in the archives, but no answers..
One more try =
I want to run a script, where one line should look like this:
QUERY SYSTEM DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM
where DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM is a S390 Filename I want to take to the OFFSITE
Location.
(This Command works great on the command line, but I want to have it in a
script!)
However - I tried to do it like this:
def script test desc='Test'
upd script test QUERY SYSTEM DSM.OUTPUT

Hello all, Let me start out by saying that I am a new subscriber to this list, so sorry if these question have been posted before. I have recently set up a TSM server. The server and client code is at 4.2.1. I have the clients backing up to the server and files going only to disk storage pool only for the time being, until I get my tape drives. The problem I am having is with my database backups. I set up the dbbackuptrigger to backup the database at 75%. Now my problem, whenever I set logmode to rollforward, TSM automatically wants to do the first dbBackup which I assume would be a full backup. After the process gets kicked off, the 20 gig tape just gets spit out. Even when I set the logmode to normal and try a manual backup db devclass=8mmdb type=full scratch=yes. When I run the command the tape reads, rewinds, and ejects without the backup. This is very frustrating and is probably something very obvious, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong? -- ** * Frank Kruse [EMAIL PROTECTED]* * IBM Austin 512-823-7475 * ** -- ** * Frank Kruse [EMAIL PROTECTED]* * IBM Austin 512-823-7475 * **

It's grown to 3TB (4 expansion cabinets with 14 73GB drives each and each set to raid 5), we just keep adding disk expansion to server as we need more storage. We use a small LTO library for the copypool. We backup 360 servers (80 to 100 GB total) nightly and growing. The TSM database is 10GB sitting on raid 10 with 15K rpm drives (very fast) , i also defrag the DB monthly. This is a dream setup and works very well, restores run in the blink of a eye. I run the TSM server by myself as a part-time duty. I would suggest just growing your disks storage on your backuppool to at least 1 TB to keep backups and restore running fast, allowing older data to migrate to your existing tape library. Now a days disks have both a performance and price advantage over tape.

Hi Gerhard, Is there any specific reason you want to make use of a script? Seeing that Tim Williams already answered your question you should in any case look at doing what you want in a different way.

Re: Redirecting Commands in Scripts
HI,
If you open up dsmc with -comma parameter, all output will be put in a csv
file - perfect for perl scripting (and you can redirect your output). We do
that every night to mail out a report of backups nightly - also to
automatically mail a report of tapes ejecting for offsite storage , and then
an hour later, automatically ejects them.
dsmadmc -comma -id=admin -pa=password select a.domain_name,a.description,
a.num_nodes,b.node_name from domains a,nodes b where a.domain_name =
b.domain_na
me order by 1,3 | sed 1,9d | grep -v ANS8002I | grep -i -E [a-z]
${DATADIR}/client.table.data
(scripts supplied by Suad Musovich)
Hope that helps,
Jane

Subject: Redirecting Commands in Scripts
Hello all,
I found questions like this in the archives, but no answers..
One more try =
I want to run a script, where one line should look like this:
QUERY SYSTEM DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM
where DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM is a S390 Filename I want to take to the OFFSITE
Location.
(This Command works great on the command line, but I want to have it in a
script!)
However - I tried to do it like this:
def script test desc='Test'
upd script test QUERY SYSTEM DSM.OUTPUT
Result:
ANR1454I DEFINE SCRIPT: Command script TEST defined.
ANR2002E Missing closing quote character.
ANS8001I Return code 3.
Any hints how to route an output to a file in a script ?
I guess, the problem is, that TSM wants to direct the Output of the Update
Stmt
to a file - and when doing this, one quote is missing, of course
We are running TSM 3.7.5 on S390 (I know, not supported, but I guess this
should
work on all versions)

Re: 3494 library swap out.
Maybe more of a generic way that doesn't depend on any specific OSuse a
SQL command:
select 'checkout libv ' || trim(library_name) || ' ' || trim(volume_name) ||
' checkl=no rem=no' from libvolumes
and pipe this to a file. You can then run it in as a MACRO libr Lindsay
suggests. You may have to SET SQLDISPLAYMODE WIDE to get it all on one line.
This doesn't rely on catawk.MSWord...or any utility. Just a TSM
admin client.
There's more than one way to skin a cat! :-) Whatever you're comfortable
with. Myself, with going to different client sites with different systems, I
just don't like to come to rely on a solution on a particular platform. No

The idea of turning a list of volumes into a script is a very good idea.
Here's a unix-ified way to do it for those who will, maybe faster:
1. Obtain a list of volumes (or stgpools, or...) into a file, say,
/tmp/vols
2. cat /tmp/vols | awk '{print checkout libv library_name $1 checkl=no
rem=no}' /tmp/macro
vol name is here ^^
3. dsmadmc -id=... -pas=... -itemcommit macro /tmp/macro
itemcommit means if one line fails, don't roll back the
whole script
Not trying to one-up you, Tab - people more comfortable with MS Word should

The idea is great. I often see people doing stuff like this manually, and
it makes me cringe.

Subject: Re: 3494 library swap out.
Geoffrey,
Whenever I have to do similar operations on lots of volumes, I use my word
processor's (MS Word in this case) mail merge feature to help. The
sequence goes like this.
1. Obtain a list of volumes to be processed. If the volume name is the
only thing that will change, you can save to a text file. But text files
only accommodate one variable. If more variables (fields) are needed, use
the native WP doc format.
2. Select the file from step 1 as the data source.
3. Create the master document with the desired command line like:
checkout libv library_name [volume] checkl=no remove=no
where volume is the merge field to be used for the final document.
4. Merge the data. You will end up with a document that has a line from
step 3 for each volume.
5. Because that document will be in the native WP format, do a Save
As...text of the document.
6. Reopen the text version of the document. You will have a script.
7. Paste that text document's contents into the text entry window of the
Create Script page of the TSM web client. The final result will be a
server script consisting of the command from step 3 for each volume.
8. Execute the server script in TSM.
I know this sounds a bit complicated, but once you've done it a time or
two, you can create in less that five minutes scripts that process
thousands of volumes.
This technique was vital when I was doing our data reorg after the library
upgrades and I had to Move Data the contents of hundreds of tapes.
Good luck.

Subject: 3494 library swap out.
On Monday IBM will be removing a leased 3494 and installing a replacement
3494. The library is shared with MVS but MVS has it's own set of tapes and
exits ignore my tapes(TSM 4.2.1.9 on AIX 4.3.3) when they are inserted.
It's been sugested I checkout all of my tapes, some 800 or so, probably
with a remove=no since a 10 slot I/O port would slow things down. IBM says
they need to remove all the tapes so they can re-level the library once
they
put it together.
So now questions: (I am not concerned with the MVS side of things since
someone else takes care of that.)
Do I really need to do this?
If yes, is there an easy way to do this or amI going to have to struggle
through it?
How about getting them back in/available?
Should I be doing any TSM inventory?
If anyone ahs gone through this or has suggestions please, please send

Re: TSM V5.1
H... not a good sign. I downloaded the driver this morning and verified the install myself, and it went alright. Do you have an existing ODBC driver installed? If so, which version? I suspect that this could be an issue with removing the older ODBC driver. Try this: 1) From Add/Remove Programs, remove the old ODBC driver. 2) You may get a prompt similar to the above. If so, go get the install package for that driver, and extract the install image (but don't run setup). Then try the uninstall again. If prompted, point to the .msi file in the old driver's install image (the one you just unpacked). 3) If that works, then try installing the new driver. Let me know how this goes.

3494 library swap out
Ok, lots of help here from Bill, Lindsay and Tab, and I appreciate it very
much. Now here is a stab at the steps I need to take. Since I'm not much of
a script/programmer I'd appreciate any help in correcting mistakes I've
made.
Note: This will be done from an AIX console on the TSM server.
Step1: SET SQLDISPLAYMODE WIDE
Step2: select 'checkout libv ' || trim(library_name) || ' ' ||
trim(volume_name) || ' checkl=no rem=no' from libvolumes /tmp/vols
Step3: cat /tmp/vols | awk '{print checkout libv library_name $1 checkl=no
rem=no}' /tmp/macro
Step4: dsmadmc -id=... -pas=... -itemcommit macro /tmp/macro
The output of the file in step2 goes like this:
checkout libv 3494LIB U8 checkl=no rem=no
checkout libv 3494LIB U00026 checkl=no rem=no
checkout libv 3494LIB U00244 checkl=no rem=no
checkout libv 3494LIB U00302 checkl=no rem=no
And so on and so on.
I'm sure my step3, which I took direct from the email Lindsay sent, needs
work.
A little help..again please.

Restore NSS data, Netware 5
Hello all, I am new to the list, so please forgive any improprieties. I promise I will learn! The environment is TSM server 4.1.4.0 running on an AIX box (4.3 something, I think). Client machine is a server running Netware 5, service pack 3, with TSM client 4.1.3.0. This is a machine that I have just recently adopted(?) and am trying to do a restore on. The problem is that the data to restore is on an NSS volume and the restore just will not work. I have tried restoring to the NSS volume, to another non-NSS volume on the same server and to a non-NSS volume on a different server (NW5, SP5, TSM 4.1.3.0). No luck anywhere. The messages I get back are: 04/11/2002 14:25:35 (TSA500.NLM 5.1 258) This program has encountered a buffer underflow and cannot get the entire field. ** Unsuccessful ** 04/11/2002 14:25:35 ANS4024E Error processing 'USERS:/TEST.TXT': file write error Has anyone else seen this, or anything like it? I think I have narrowed it down to a problem directly related to restoring NSS data. IBM is telling me that is has to do with the version of the TSA500.NLM in the service pack. Getting the same error when trying to restore to the alternate server, with a newer service pack, makes me question that suggestion. I really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I have searched the archives, BTW, and not come up with anything particularly helpful. Thanks.

Re: TSM V5.1
Yes, you've discovered a new feature. If you are using PRESCHEDULECMD, then presumably you have some operation that you wish to complete prior to the scheduled TSM operation (i.e. shut down a database before incremental backup runs). In 5.1, we changed PRESCHEDULECMD so that if the command does end with return code 0, then the scheduled operation will not run. This change was based on user requirements. From the use rmanual, in the section on what's new in 5.1: == Reliable, consistent, and documented return codes have been added to the command line client and the scheduler. This facilitates automation of client operations via user-written scripts. By using the QUERY EVENT command with the FORMAT=DETAILED option, administrators can now distinguish between scheduled backups that completed successfully with no skipped files and scheduled backups that completed successfully with one or more skipped files. Also if you use the processing option preschedulecmd to run a command, and that command returns a non-zero return code, the scheduled event will not run. This ensures that scheduled events will not run if prerequisite commands do not complete successfully. See Return Codes from the Command Line Interface, Preschedulecmd/Prenschedulecmd, and Postschedulecmd/Postnschedulecmd for more information. == Alternatively, if the command does not need to complete prior to running the scheduled operation, you can use PRENSCHEDULECMD, which runs asynchronously, and whose return code is not tracked.

And, just for fun, I ran an audit db on the transplant. Both the old and new hardware use raid-5 ssa for the database, the new hardware has 4 processors (600 MHZ) with 8 GB memory. For your planning purposes, here's the stats from this environment: dbsize 73,656 MB 84% dbbackup03:32 dbrestore 04:03 auditdb 47:28 Both dbbackup and restore were done from a 3590 K. And, thankfully, the audit ran cleanly. Darrel Gleddie IBM Almaden Research Center

Subject: 3494 library swap out
Ok, lots of help here from Bill, Lindsay and Tab, and I appreciate it very
much. Now here is a stab at the steps I need to take. Since I'm not much of
a script/programmer I'd appreciate any help in correcting mistakes I've
made.
Note: This will be done from an AIX console on the TSM server.
Step1: SET SQLDISPLAYMODE WIDE
Step2: select 'checkout libv ' || trim(library_name) || ' ' ||
trim(volume_name) || ' checkl=no rem=no' from libvolumes /tmp/vols
Step3: cat /tmp/vols | awk '{print checkout libv library_name $1 checkl=no
rem=no}' /tmp/macro
Step4: dsmadmc -id=... -pas=... -itemcommit macro /tmp/macro
The output of the file in step2 goes like this:
checkout libv 3494LIB U8 checkl=no rem=no
checkout libv 3494LIB U00026 checkl=no rem=no
checkout libv 3494LIB U00244 checkl=no rem=no
checkout libv 3494LIB U00302 checkl=no rem=no

work.

Netware 6 and *SM
So, anyone backing up NW6 with remote, shared drives (I'm used to calling them NSS volumes in 5.1)? I'm testing a NW6 cluster with the latest client, 4.2.1_29 (man we're getting up there!), and the client will only back up the local volumes. The client has no knowledge of these other volumes, which are EMC disk SCSI attached. It works in 5.1, even in the cluster environment, which is not officially supported by IBM. This is a test environment for now but the Intel/NW boys are chomping at the bit to bring NW6 into production. On a related note, anyone know of plans for a NW cluster aware client? -- Jim Kirkman AIS - Systems UNC-Chapel Hill 966-5884

Re: TSM V5.1 - new return codes
I think the addition of return codes is great but have a question on the rc=4 with excluded files: The doc specifies: rc=4: The operation completed successfully, but some files were not processed. There were no other errors or warnings. This return code is very common. Files are not processed for various reasons. The most common reasons are: - The file is in an exclude list.. - The file was in use by another application and could not be accessed by the client - The file changed during the operation to an extent prohibited by the copy serialization attribute. I have a directory with one subdirectory exluded via exclude and exlude.archive. For an incremental of the directory I get rc=0, for an archive or a selective backup I get rc=4. I would rather see a different return code for an excluded file (I'm excluding it so I expect it to not get backed up!). I think a file that is missed because it is open or changed is much more serious than a file that is excluded. Why are the return codes inconsistent between incrementals and selective or archives? Or was my testing incorrect?

If you are using PRESCHEDULECMD, then presumably you have some operation that you wish to complete prior to the scheduled TSM operation (i.e. shut down a database before incremental backup runs). In 5.1, we changed PRESCHEDULECMD so that if the command does end with return code 0, then the scheduled operation will not run. This change was based on user requirements. From the use rmanual, in the section on what's new in 5.1: == Reliable, consistent, and documented return codes have been added to the command line client and the scheduler. This facilitates automation of client operations via user-written scripts. By using the QUERY EVENT command with the FORMAT=DETAILED option, administrators can now distinguish between scheduled backups that completed successfully with no skipped files and scheduled backups that completed successfully with one or more skipped files. Also if you use the processing option preschedulecmd to run a command, and that command returns a non-zero return code, the scheduled event will not run. This ensures that scheduled events will not run if prerequisite commands do not complete successfully. See Return Codes from the Command Line Interface, Preschedulecmd/Prenschedulecmd, and Postschedulecmd/Postnschedulecmd for more information. == Alternatively, if the command does not need to complete prior to running the scheduled operation, you can use PRENSCHEDULECMD, which runs asynchronously, and whose return code is not tracked.

Re: TSM database maximum recommended size
Comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] The times listed are HH:MM as you suspected. And why does it take so long? Well, the dbbackup was a normal-while-everything-else-is-running backup, maybe this is a partial excuse. The restore, however, was the only thing running on the system. The restore is essentially rebuilding the database, so its not just a matter of streaming the bytes onto the disk. I watched the topas monitor from time to time while this was going on and saw the db hdisk at 90-100% busy. (My guess is that this process has not been souped up in a long time, if ever.)

The idea of turning a list of volumes into a script is a very good
idea. Here's a unix-ified way to do it for those who will, maybe
faster:
1. Obtain a list of volumes (or stgpools, or...) into a file, say,
/tmp/vols 2. cat /tmp/vols | awk '{print checkout libv library_name
$1 checkl=no rem=no}' /tmp/macro
vol name is here ^^
3. dsmadmc -id=... -pas=... -itemcommit macro /tmp/macro
itemcommit means if one line fails, don't roll back the
whole script
Not trying to one-up you, Tab - people more comfortable with MS Word
should use it.
The idea is great. I often see people doing stuff like this manually, and
it makes me cringe.

Geoffrey,
Whenever I have to do similar operations on lots of volumes, I
use my word
processor's (MS Word in this case) mail merge feature to help. The
sequence goes like this.
1. Obtain a list of volumes to be processed. If the volume name is
the only thing that will change, you can save to a text file. But
text files
only accommodate one variable. If more variables (fields) are
needed, use
the native WP doc format.
2. Select the file from step 1 as the data source.
3. Create the master document with the desired command line like:
checkout libv library_name [volume] checkl=no remove=no
where volume is the merge field to be used for the final
document.
4. Merge the data. You will end up with a document that has a line
from step 3 for each volume.
5. Because that document will be in the native WP format, do a Save
As...text of the document.
6. Reopen the text version of the document. You will have a script.
7. Paste that text document's contents into the text entry window of
the Create Script page of the TSM web client. The final result will
be a server script consisting of the command from step 3 for each
volume.
8. Execute the server script in TSM.
I know this sounds a bit complicated, but once you've done it a time
or two, you can create in less that five minutes scripts that
process thousands of volumes.
This technique was vital when I was doing our data reorg after
the library
upgrades and I had to Move Data the contents of hundreds of tapes.
Good luck.

Subject: 3494 library swap out.
On Monday IBM will be removing a leased 3494 and installing a
replacement
3494 Partitioning Security Not!, But Maybe There is Hope
Those of us that are trying to share our 3494 libraries and some of us having done so successfully have recognized that the mtlib command and the lmcpd interface have no security to prevent improper accidental or malicious actions. Once an open systems host has been defined to the library that host can change the categories of the tapes, mount them in what ever drive it wishes, use tapeutil to do whatever including read, write, erase the tape if the host has access to a tape drive in the library. As part of Share and a customer I have taken an interest in defining a requirement for IBM to eliminate this issue. There are a number of approaches that IBM could take, but the easiest, simplest, and most cost effect from my point of view is to implement security in the library manager to register ranges of tapes to hosts (multiple if you like). Register the drives the host can manipulate. And, to implement a password token with automated refresh and manual reset facilities that the host has to pass with each lmcpd (mtlib) request. However, this would not change the way any application (backup product) uses the library or the ability to say a system has unlimited access (* for all tapes or drives). This function would be selected by the customer as to whether to turn it on or not. Once on, each host will have to have a temporary password set in the LM and issue a new parameter (-P) on the mtlib command with the temporary password to prime the password control information for a host into the ibmatl.conf entry for that library for this host. At that point the system will go into a password generate mode where it can change the password in a two phased commit process every n days (customer selectable). Each lmcpd request will have the imbedded generated password token. There are certainly other security encryption schemes that could be used to protect against snooping, but that is the least of the problem right now and would be only nice to have. At least now the host has to pass an authorization to do something to the tapes. The LM GUI interface would have some extensions to the host definition screen to support defining what a host could manipulate. One area that would be nice is to define volume or drive groups and just register the host to the volume or drive groups that you wish it to be able to manipulate. That way a change to the group to add a new drive would not require every host to be updated, same for volumes. This is how it would affect the open systems hosts. Commands from an invalid host (reverse IP lookup) rejected outright with the same error that an invalid library gets today. Requests that have invalid passwords would have the same thing happen to them. Requests to manipulate a tape or drive that a host does not have access to will be rejected. Inventory of drive and library query functions will operate as today because backup products issue requests for this stuff and could be affected if it were not left the same. Inventory of tape volumes will mask out volumes not belonging to the host (this is nice to have). The insert function will only notify the hosts that have been registered to the volume range, meaning if no host will get the information if none are registered. And, if a range is registered any tapes in FF00 status will get notified to the newly registered host. How do we want to change this for open systems? We need to ask for what is a business critical need so IBM will do it. How do we want the mainframe to play here? The mainframe does not use the lmcpd interface, yet. Customers have asked for mtilib on the S/390 so that they can do the inquiry functions or fix problems with open systems tapes. I suggest that the same be true of the S/390 requests. However, right now, I suggest it be simple, allow a S/390 definition to the library for all S/390s and let them continue to manage their security external to the library among themselves. At least this would prevent the S/390 from messing with open systems tapes and drives. If the mtlib function is created for S/390 down the road it will just work the same way as the functionality for the open systems. The potential benefits here are significant. Sharing tapes between platforms without exposing things that you do not want could become a reality. Sharing drives becomes much more secure because you can limit the pools of drives a host can manipulate. Using a library to support multiple internal customers/users now becomes a possiblity. And, the potential for an integrity train wreck waiting to happen were some critical data gets accidentally destroyed is eliminated. If the function for insert is done the way suggested above you could just load your library with a bunch of tapes and leave them in FF00 status. Define a new range when a host needs some more tapes and those notifications get sent to the host for it to do what it should (just an idea). The other piece that I have always wanted is an insert
Re: What should I know about SAN
First of all 2.7 is a very bad release of Solaris. We skipped it because it is falling off support soon. Second, 3.7.3.8 is unsupported, so good luck if it does not work. V5.1 is out and the death of 4.2 has already been announced. My point is you had better plan to upgrade your TSM environment. If you plan to use FC tape then 2.7 may not work. It really was not supported well by the vendors until Solaris 8. -Original Message- From: Farren Minns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 9:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: What should I know about SAN Hello fellow ##SMERS Running TSM 3.7.3.8 Server on Solaris 2.7 Box (E250 450Mhz 1GB) In the coming months, it looks very likely that we are going to be getting some sort of SAN that will initially just be directly connected to one of our machines (an over-priced array for a while then!), and in the future be connected via a SAN switching device to act as a proper Storage Area Network. Whilst I know that this is a broad subject, I am interested in anyone's personal experiences with this. What questions should I be asking myself in order to get the most out of a SAN and what it can offer. For example, I hear the term Flash Copy quite often. I assume that I could make image backups of an entire system very quickly this way thus providing for some very fast restore times. This is just one thing that I would be interested in understanding. So basically, any people out there who has had good/bad SAN / TSM experiences; I would like to hear from you. Thanks very much Farren Minns Trainee Solaris TSM System Admin - John Wiley Sons
