TSM Journal
Hi there. We are running the Journal service on some of our biggest NT-boxes. We need to exclude some dirs from the Journal-monitor, so we put them in the Journal exlude stanza like the manual and the examples describe. BUT, the files are not excluded.

Upgrade from ADSM 2.1 to TSM 3.7 or 4.1
We have an existing server running ADSM 2.1 (yes, I know... it was set up in '95 and hasn't been upgraded since...) which we're looking to update. From the TSM installation instructions, it says that you can install TSM on an old ADSM installation and it will automatically update the database; has anyone done an upgrade from such an old version to either TSM 3.7 or 4.2? If so, anything I should be aware of (aside from the obvious issues of backing up all the database etc before doing the upgrade)? Thanks in advance.

Re: unloaddb problem
doesn't matter if you can label the tape or not. You need to verify the availably, by taking database backup, backup, backup stg. the label libvolume command is unaffected by the no mount point awilible. I have seen libraries witch you can label the tapes, but you cant mount for backup of any kind. hope this helps.

mtlib demount on NT

C:\WINNT\system32 mtlib -los3494p3 -qM Should i be using some other utility? Could there be an underlying network issue/driver level?

I know a problem in SUN and I am not sure if the pb has been solved. Sometimes the db backup under Solaris starts one hour more or less after the tape is mounted in the drive, it is the only pb I have found only under Solaris. The performance is more or less equal, and both work with LAN FREE, Fran --- Pitur Ey~srsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribis: Hi guys A big company here in Iceland is thinking about installing TSM on SUN, they will be the first one to have TSM on SUN here.

If not, it needs to be. 6.) One small thing I see, which may or may not be a problem is that you have cd /d %dom_dir%, but you never actually change to the C: drive within the batch file... and so if the default drive is D:, this will not work. I am also wondering if the domdsmc command ran at all since the output of the command was supposed to be redirected to e:\logs\domagent_arc.log. What you show for that file does not have any of the normal output from the domdsmc command. For example, I would at least expect to see the copyright banner for TDP for Domino. A good thing to do is to make sure the batch file runs manually before scheduling it. I hope this helps.

Re: TDP for Exchange RC=425 on Information Store
ANE4993E (Session: 9538, Node: NNSE8_XCH) TDP MSExchgV2 NT ACN3502 TDP for Microsoft Exchange: full backup of Information Store from server NNSE8 failed, rc = 425. Paul, RC=425 for Exchange means there was an Exchange API error. This can mean a variety of things, but essentially the Exchange Server did not like something that you were trying to do. This could be an internal Exchange Server problem or that you were attempting an invalid scenario. To find out what is happening you should examine the TDP for Exchange log file (usually tdpexc.log) found in the TDP for Exchange installation directory (unless you redirected it.) The log file may give you an idea what the problem is. It should have the detailed Exchange Server API message. Also, you should check the standard output of the tdpexcc command. (Redirect it to a log file in scheduled events to capture it.) Also check the Windows Event Log for any errors or warnings coming from Exchange itself. If all that fails to show the problem, please call IBM support so that a trace can be gathered and examined.

How Best to Suspend a Schedule
As a relative newbie to TSM, I'd be interested to hear what is the easiest way to temporarily: 1- Suspend a backup schedule from running. 2- Suspend an individual client's participation in a backup schedule. I've accomplished #2 by removing the client schedule association, though I don't regard this method to be particularly elegant. Thanks in advance. Paul E.

Hi I think you are running into trouble. I think update to latest level of Version 2 upgrade db update to latest level of Version 3 upgrade db update to level 4.1upgrade db update to latest level. upgrade db I got much trouble updating Ver 3.1 to Version 4 I got a corrupt database. TSM Support says update to 3.7 latest level then update to Vers 4.1 Hrm, what happens if we only have media for 2.1, 3.7 and 4.1? I don't know if there are any versions between 2.1 and 3.x, but we may not be able to obtain them (since they're unsupported now and have been for some time). However, an upgrade from 2.1 to 3.7 may be all we want to do, as I think that's the version in use elswhere in the company.

TSM DB Corruption and DB Recovery - what happened ? (a saga, not a short story)
Our TSM DB was corrupted last week. Worse yet, it appears* that an earlier DB Backup operation backed up a corrupted DB, but reported completed successfully. Efforts to restore from that DB Backup failed twice, in the end costing us 24 hours restore time. We ended up having to restore (rollback to) the prior-day DB Backup. Between the 1-Day rollback and 24 hours lost time performing 2 failed DB Restores, we lost 2 night's backups for 83 Unix Servers, including 1 night of otherwise-successful backup processing. (please review the Summary of Events appended to this email before reading on) We run TSM Server 4.1.2.0 on Solaris 2.6. Library is IBM 3494. DB 50GB under 90% Util. TSM DB Log volumes are TSM-mirrored. TSM Log =4GB rarely over 10% Util. TSM LogMode=Normal. MirrorWrite-Log=Parallel. MirrorWrite-DB=sequential. We do not perform automatic expiration or tape reclamation, and no tape reclamation was performed on this or the prior day. We normally don't run client backups during our TSM DB Backups - but that's just local practice is a consequence of the sequence of our Daily Task processing, not a policy. I know (and Tivoli Support confirmed) that TSM is designed to support concurrent client backup session and DB Backup processes (how else could you run 24x7 backups?), and previously we have allowed certain long-running backups to run concurrently with DB Backups before, without consequence. Still, for us, a concurrently-running client backup and DB Backup is an atypical event. I would like experienced feedback on where things went awry in the following series of events (appended below), opinions as to what step may have caused the DB corruption and subsequent apparently-corrupted DB Backup (despite reporting successful completion). * Tivoli Support asserted that: - in TSM 4.1 the DB Backup operation does not perform robust consistency checking, so could backup a corrupt DB and still report success - apparently an APAR exists on this. Can anyone confirm this? - consistency checking Tivoli has been improved is more robust in TSM 4.1 and/or 5.1. Can anyone confirm this? - it is impossible to incorporate thorough consistency-checking, as is performed by Audit DB, in presumed-daily DB Backups because of the elapsed time it requires. On a 50GB DB such as ours, Tivoli asserted that Audit DB would take over 50 hours (obviously not possible twice daily). Can anyone with similar configuration (50GB TSM DB on Solaris) confirm this time estimate for Audit DB? I would also welcome any opinions/ideas how to recover that apparently-corrupted DB Backup (I'm still not 100% convinced it is). We want to do this on a test server to salvage the prior nights backup data and also salvage the Activity Log for further review, if possible. All copypool and DB Backup tapes from that day were pulled/preserved. I don't think there's a way for us to re-incorporate the lost data back into our production TSM backups easily - but brilliant ideas are welcome. Even so, we would at least regain the ability to access/restore the prior night's backup data from those preserved copypool tapes, which would mitigate potential service impact of this incident by 50% (just 1 day lost, not 2). Are there any methods for restoring only selected parts of a TSM DB ? - rsvp, thanks (experienced respondents only, please) Kent Monthei GlaxoSmithKline _ Summary of Events: 1) A rogue client backup started just before our morning DB Backup (1st of 2 scheduled daily full DB Backups). This was after a scripted check to ensure that no client backups were running (none were) and just prior to start of the DB Backup (we think). The check for client sessions is not so much to ensure nothing runs during DB Backup - it's to ensure that all client data reaches the diskpool and then gets migrated or copied to tape pools before the DB Backup starts. Still, for us, the rogue client backup was an atypical event. 2) The DB Backup stalled immediately, sitting at 0 pages backed up for over an hour, but TSM Services were not hung did not fail. The client backup was progressing fine pushing a lot of data. To resolve the stalled DB Backup, we cancelled the client backup session (no effect). We then cancelled the DB Backup process (no effect - it entered sat for an hour in 'Cancel Pending' state). 3) At that point, we decided to halt/restart the TSM Server process. 'dsmserv' came back up normally. 4) We then repeated the 1st DB Backup, which then progressed normally in the usual time and reported successful completion. We continued with Daily Task processing, which went smoothly up to the 2nd DB Backup. 5) Almost immediately after startup (0 DB pages backed up), the 2nd DB Backup process failed with a 'dballoc.c / SMP page mismatch / initialization of DB page allocator failed' error (something to that effect). 6) We decided to halt/restart services a

I have a customer who tried: incremental -verbose /ps/odstest/data and several objects were inspected but not were backed up. He then tried: backup -verbose /ps/odstest/data and that backed up the two sub directories but no files. Finally he tried: incremental -verbose /ps/odstest/data/ and that backed up the files. Why (or when) does the ending slash make a difference? He claims he has similar incrementals on other machines that work without the ending slash? Is there a logical explanation for that?

Re: Offsite Mirror of TSM server
Well, that is the issue/alternative/suggestion. Just exactly how do we mirror a volume across an IP link, since that is going to be the most likely connection between the source and the target/mirror ? What hardware/software would I need to be able to do this and how would the TSM server feel about this processes (it is going to be a lot slower to mirror across a 100mbs link that physical DASD !!).

Outlook PST files
All, Each day, roughly 99% of the changed data on my Windows file and print servers is attributable to .pst files. For my Wan clients I have implemented Adaptive subfile differencing but still running marathon backups of some these clients. So given that pst files dramatically impact WAN (and to some degree LAN) backups, how can I address this? * Don't backup .pst? (Most likely not an option) * Force .pst archive rules * reduce frequency of .pst updates (e.g., limit to 1/week; wishful thinking would be this would occur on Fri so that large backups would occur on weekend) * reduce size of .pst by creating new pst files every so often * Storing .pst files centrally rather than locally. * Other - thoughts, anyone?

Re: extra licences must be registered
What happened is when TDP SQL is actually backing up and you run your select, then you will get the correct count. As TDP SQL runs from an NT client and you (probably) have scheduler setup on the client, then when it finishes, the scheduler recontacts the server for next schedule and the paltform_name will be WinNT. You can do a q node f=d while a TDP SQL is running and then again after to see this in action. As has been discussed recently about verifying backups, this is another step that has to be checked several ways to get the correct result. David B.

Re: Offsite Mirror of TSM server
There are quite a few options you can look into. CNT builds protocol converters that you can use to convert FCP - IP - FCP (fiber channel protocol) and accomplish data mirroring via a WAN connection. Other DWDM / Dark Fiber options exist too, and can play well with the larger disk subsystem's software based copy services such as PPRC (IBM) and SDRF (EMC). Collectively, these are all high cost solutions, but offer lots of flexibility and HA type configurations.

According to IBM EMEA Announcement Letter ZP02-0172 (http://www.ibmlink.ibm.com/emealetsparms=H_ERIFZP020172), Section Ordering IBM Tivoli Products One or more charge units are associated with each product. These charge units are: - Processors managed by the product - Clients managed by the product - Distributed servers managed by the product - zSeries processors managed by the product - Processors in which the managing server is installed Processors are based upon TSM server and TSM *nodes* processors if they are servers in customer application environment. If it is a workstation (appl. client) it requires client license and no processors. So if we have an (imaginary) ISM installation consisting of dual-processor TSM server, cluster of two four-processor Oracle servers, uniprocessor file server, uniprocessor MDC and 20 dual-processor Xeon/2GHz CAD stations, we would need 12 processor and 20 client charge units for IBM TSM (5698-ISM) or IBM TSM EE (5698-ISE) and (optional) eight processors for IBM TSM for Databases (5698-APD). Right now I cannot calculate all possible configurations nor predict any averages or stats but for some configurations price would change slightly while for some others will drop significantly. OTOH I can make (not so) artificial configuration which would have an increased price. This raises the issue how to migrate Tivoli Management Points from Value-Based Pricing to Processors and Clients in Enhanced VBP. Also another question to ask is - does a customer need to buy additional licenses to keep its license compliance. This is another story and I have to dig more. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant

The solution was following: I create /dev/mt0 device for my 8mm external tape (DO NOT USE things like /dev/rmt0 like you see on AIX--- lsdev -Cc tape ). Because people said that manual libraries are defined just in this way (I didnt know because I see automated ones) Later I used the following commands: ./dsmserv unloaddb dev=8mmclass scratch=yes ./dsmserv loadformat 1 /adsm/recovery_log/reclog.dsm 3 /adsm/database/datafull1_m /adsm/database/datafull2_m /adsm/database/adsm_db09 ./dsmserv loaddb dev=8mmclass vol=mbt2 Now my database is defragmented.

Re: Backup filespec
What is happening is that TSM is backing up the named object, which is just 'data'. TSM does not take the extra step to assume that if 'data' is a directory, that its contents should also be included. The ending slash tells TSM that you want to back up the contents of the 'data' directory. So as you found, the syntax would be: incremental /ps/odstest/data/ And if you want subdirectories of 'data' backed up, you would also need the -subdir=yes option (unless it is already in your options file or you specified it from the command line when starting dsmc).

Re: system params for Solaris on TSM upgrade to 4.1.2.0(Resolved - sort of)
The admin replied that he applied the latest cluster and that did the trick, but wasn't sure which one fixed it, and didn't appear to be sure of what he had before sigh. So, anyway - Sol 8 requires the latest cluster of patches in order to avoid kernel panic when initializing the network at boot time after the /etc/system changes are made.

Hi, This problem could happen due to any one of the following four reasons. 1) Your startup file(setup file) doesn't have any target disk defined. - You are required to provide the possible candidates as target disk in the setup file. 2) The size of the target disk has to be same as the size of the source disk. 3) The target disk has to be in the same lss with the source disk. 4) Target disk is already used for other flashcopy, so it is occupied by other process. Please make sure you had met those 4 requirements in your setup file.

Re: Outlook PST files
In testing I've done, the modified date is updated on a .PST file just by opening and closing outlook. Some info I've found on a newsgroup stated: PST files initiate a locking mechanism when you access them (access, not necessarily open). A PST file is a database. This database is continuously interrogated with searches and sorts by Outlook to get the data it needs to display, import,... whatever. There is a special reserved area in the database Outlook writes to when it accesses the file. Information about the user and computer currently accessing the file is placed here. This allows other processes on that particular computer (invisible queries to build the folder hierarchy in the Outlook Folder List, for example) to access the file while effectively locking-out access to anyone else until the file is closed. Without this exclusive access, a PST could be easily corrupted by someone changing parts of that database at the same time. Without the ability to record in the PST file itself who has access to it right now, there is no way to lock out others while allowing the right person access. So along with breaking up the .PST files, you may also have to make them read-only. Some of our users have setup a separate archive pst for each year, then they are only modifying the most recent one.

Re: Outlook PST files
We also have this problem. One other idea you didn't mention is to purchase an email migration tool. EmailXtender by OTG is one product which will do this. With this product the outlook users can move there PST (personal store) data back into the exchange server and the PST's can be deleted. You might think this will just move the problem. EmailXtender helps by migrating old exchange items to TSM and replacing them with a 1K tag. The exchange backups only backup the tag. We have not tried the product so can not recommend. The information provided is a quick summary of there marketing material. We will be looking into the product at a later time.

Re: TSM DB Corruption and DB Recovery - what happened ? (a saga , not a short story)
I'm curious if Tivoli support gave you any idea of what TYPE of corruption this error message indicates, and what they said about the DB mirror. With MIRRORWRITEDB=SEQUENTIAL, you could (at least in theory) have had corruption in the primary copy, but not the mirror copy. (Or maybe TSM doesn't issue the message until it has tried both copies already?) I would have tried to remove the primary copy of the DB from the configuration, and come up with just the mirror, just to see if the result was any different... -Original Message- From: Kent Monthei [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 11:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM DB Corruption and DB Recovery - what happened ? (a saga, not a short story) Our TSM DB was corrupted last week. Worse yet, it appears* that an earlier DB Backup operation backed up a corrupted DB, but reported completed successfully. Efforts to restore from that DB Backup failed twice, in the end costing us 24 hours restore time. We ended up having to restore (rollback to) the prior-day DB Backup. Between the 1-Day rollback and 24 hours lost time performing 2 failed DB Restores, we lost 2 night's backups for 83 Unix Servers, including 1 night of otherwise-successful backup processing. (please review the Summary of Events appended to this email before reading on) We run TSM Server 4.1.2.0 on Solaris 2.6. Library is IBM 3494. DB 50GB under 90% Util. TSM DB Log volumes are TSM-mirrored. TSM Log =4GB rarely over 10% Util. TSM LogMode=Normal. MirrorWrite-Log=Parallel. MirrorWrite-DB=sequential. We do not perform automatic expiration or tape reclamation, and no tape reclamation was performed on this or the prior day. We normally don't run client backups during our TSM DB Backups - but that's just local practice is a consequence of the sequence of our Daily Task processing, not a policy. I know (and Tivoli Support confirmed) that TSM is designed to support concurrent client backup session and DB Backup processes (how else could you run 24x7 backups?), and previously we have allowed certain long-running backups to run concurrently with DB Backups before, without consequence. Still, for us, a concurrently-running client backup and DB Backup is an atypical event. I would like experienced feedback on where things went awry in the following series of events (appended below), opinions as to what step may have caused the DB corruption and subsequent apparently-corrupted DB Backup (despite reporting successful completion). * Tivoli Support asserted that: - in TSM 4.1 the DB Backup operation does not perform robust consistency checking, so could backup a corrupt DB and still report success - apparently an APAR exists on this. Can anyone confirm this? - consistency checking Tivoli has been improved is more robust in TSM 4.1 and/or 5.1. Can anyone confirm this? - it is impossible to incorporate thorough consistency-checking, as is performed by Audit DB, in presumed-daily DB Backups because of the elapsed time it requires. On a 50GB DB such as ours, Tivoli asserted that Audit DB would take over 50 hours (obviously not possible twice daily). Can anyone with similar configuration (50GB TSM DB on Solaris) confirm this time estimate for Audit DB? I would also welcome any opinions/ideas how to recover that apparently-corrupted DB Backup (I'm still not 100% convinced it is). We want to do this on a test server to salvage the prior nights backup data and also salvage the Activity Log for further review, if possible. All copypool and DB Backup tapes from that day were pulled/preserved. I don't think there's a way for us to re-incorporate the lost data back into our production TSM backups easily - but brilliant ideas are welcome. Even so, we would at least regain the ability to access/restore the prior night's backup data from those preserved copypool tapes, which would mitigate potential service impact of this incident by 50% (just 1 day lost, not 2). Are there any methods for restoring only selected parts of a TSM DB ? - rsvp, thanks (experienced respondents only, please) Kent Monthei GlaxoSmithKline _ Summary of Events: 1) A rogue client backup started just before our morning DB Backup (1st of 2 scheduled daily full DB Backups). This was after a scripted check to ensure that no client backups were running (none were) and just prior to start of the DB Backup (we think). The check for client sessions is not so much to ensure nothing runs during DB Backup - it's to ensure that all client data reaches the diskpool and then gets migrated or copied to tape pools before the DB Backup starts. Still, for us, the rogue client backup was an atypical event. 2) The DB Backup stalled immediately, sitting at 0 pages backed up for over an hour, but TSM Services were not hung did not fail. The client backup was progressing fine pushing a lot of data. To resolve the stalled DB

Not just those in a particular schedule. Updating the schedule to some future start date is the best solution. For question # 2. A somewhat more elegant way of preventing a single client from running a schedule is to lock the client using the lock node command. John Johnson Thomas A.

I'm guessing from Paul's e-mail that he's looking for something he can do online. What I've done in the past is update the start date of the schedule to the following day, that way it won't run in the coming evening, but will pick up again the next day without me having to intervene.

Re: extra licences must be registered
Paolo, you have at least 3 + 2 + 9 + 13 = 27 B/A clients contacted under different names the server once or more. If a node is registered but not used (i.e. not contacted the server) the server does not have an idea of its OS. Probably you have no chance to be wrong stating that you have no more than 25 boxes at the moment. The ought to come from TDPs using nodename different than nodename of B/A client on the same box (recommended configuration). There was a discussion on this in January and the answer to your question is regardless of how many nodes you've set-up for a single box it needs only one *purchased* MgSysLAN/SAN license but will have more *in use*. This was (and still is) for VBP. For EVBP in ISM v5.1 purchased license is based on processors. I still wait for v5.1 media to come and have not seen the output from 'q license' but suspect in use would be still MgSysLAN/SAN. Contact your IBM/Tivoli rep and get written answer from there pointing to the Announcement Letters.

Re: How Best to Suspend a Schedule
1. If you want to suspend it for a day or two advance the STARTDate parameter as Edgardo suggested. If you want to disable it completely update EXPiration parameter with any passed date. Later schedule can be re-enabled with upd sch domain sch_name exp=never 2. Suspend is not possible but you can disable client from the schedule using DELete ASSOCiation. I am curious why it is not elegant for you. Is it because there is no trace left if you forgot which was the node/schedule pair to re-enable? I feel satisfied with it.

Re: Outlook PST files
Lee, does this EmailXtender utilize TSM or DiskXtender (which can be configured to use TSM) or you have to deal with OTG's storage management (and have storage dedicated to it)? I know similar IBM software - CommonStore for Exchange. My knowledge of it is same as yours but in the broshure there is info that so created Exchange archives are stored in TSM (not surprisingly, both are IBM products). I have no practical experience with this product so can not recommend it too. But if you have to look for such product can you later inform us briefly. I guess no one on this list is using those products but would be happy to be refuted. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: Outlook PST files We also have this problem. One other idea you didn't mention is to purchase an email migration tool. EmailXtender by OTG is one product which will do this. With this product the outlook users can move there PST (personal store) data back into the exchange server and the PST's can be deleted. You might think this will just move the problem. EmailXtender helps by migrating old exchange items to TSM and replacing them with a 1K tag. The exchange backups only backup the tag. We have not tried the product so can not recommend. The information provided is a quick summary of there marketing material. We will be looking into the product at a later time.

Re: TSM on SUN
Ben, It's highly recommended that (on Solaris) you use raw volumes for the TSM file systems (ie, db log)... due to severe performance penalties. Other than that, all should be okay. There are other rules of thumb to consider, especially on Sun boxes, regarding how much CPU power to support multiple NIC's of varying speeds and bandwidth, as well as number of SCSI drives/ports, etc. (search the archive for recent info about sizing the server).

VxFs and VxVm are available to be used on the disks, but should we use raw volumes (i.e. /dev/vx/rdsk/stgdg/stg10) or mounted filesystems (i.e. using the dsmfmt to create the TSM devices)? We started using filesystems, but found the performance very poor. We tried tweaking some Veritas settings but could never get it to match the speed of the raw volumes, so we are now just using the raw volumes. We are using TSM mirroring for the DB and logs, so is there any added risk by using the VxVm raw volumes (as opposed to a logged filesystem)? Thanks, Ben -Original Message- From: Kelly J.
