AW: Outlook PST files
Hi Bruce, we are using subfilebackup for the users .pst files and are happy with it. Backuptime didn't rise and we got a drop of amount of backup data round about 55% (pst and other files together) Wan clients I have implemented Adaptive subfile differencing but still running marathon backups of some these clients. Why don't you try to use subfile feature in your LAN? Wirh regards, Stefan Holzwarth
Re: Backup Report
This is a very old weakness of ADSM.

He then asked me what I thought was a legitimate question: Where is the output report so that we can know why the backup failed, and not just that it did fail. I know other backup solutions can do this. Apart from looking in the TSM event log is there anyway to make TSM automatically generate an output report and say email it to someone?

Re: Locale on HP-UX 11.0 TSM Server
dear Mr Bob smith The AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX support locales other than English that describe every user interface that varies with location or language. Solaris and HP-UX only support English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese locale information. The default directories for system-supplied locales are as follows. AIX /usr/lib/nls/loc Solaris /usr/lib/locale HP-UX /usr/lib/nls/locales The servers and clients obtain format information from the locale definition in effect at the time it's called. I recommend you to consult the documentation on your local system for details bout setting up your locale definition.

Affects of changing Retentions Questions
I had made a change in our copy groups from VerExists and VerDeleted from NoLimit to Verexists 5 Verdeleted 3. It appears by doing this all of the TSM clients (WinNT, Win2K, Novel, Sun ETC) are going through a full backup to apply the changes to each file which is causing a huge load on the TSM servers and the recovery log fills. Couple Questions 1) By making this change doe the node then have to re-examine all clients file and back them up as if it was a new client.? 2) If yes to No 1 then it would create a Huge load on the server? 3) Anyone know of a way improve / speed up the process? (DB Cache is 98-99% 4) For the new retentions to take affect does the following need to happen? Node Backup, DB Backup, then expire? 5) If I change the copy group retentions back to a create the same situation all over?

We had to run ~audit vol fix=yes~ against each of these volumes (to clear up hanging references) but this only moved them to an EMPTY state where they stayed until we issued a ~delete vol~ against each of them at which time they rolled scratch again. you might try a q vol stat=full and see if you have any that are 0.0% utilized...

Re: Single Drive Manual Library
I HAD a client like your describe, small sites (less than 40 GB total storage) withan LTO 3580 tape drive. The problem is that you have to do reclamation on the disks (since you only have one tape drive), now with an LTO tape (100 to 200 GB depending of compression) that's a lot os space to leave empty on the server. So my client decided to NOT use reclamation. He routinely deleted the volumes manually to be able to reuse them. To make sure that he had a full copy of his files I configured a selective backup that took everything on his machines once per week. I had to setup TSM to work like the good old days of four incremental and then a full backup. As for the DB backups, he had to change the tape in his drive (doing a dismount vol _volname_ first) manually before the schedule DB backup at 10:00 AM (he didn't want to have to type the commands himself). Then he loads the tapes for tonight checking to make sure there is enough space on it. If there isn't enough space then he does a delete volume _volname_ discarddata=yes. In other words it's pretty horrible. We added an old tape drive he had lying around and use that for the DB backups which helped a little. I guest if you have reclamation it would help a lot, but you still have to manipulate the tapes a lot and check for free space on them before using them. I have setup sites in collocation with small library 5-8 slots and one drive and that works well as long as you have enough space on disks to reclaim your volumes. If anyone as good way of functionning with a single tape drive let me know!

What does the DOMDSMC QUERY DBB * /SUBDIR=YES command show? Do you see all your backups? Another thing to do is use the SHOW VERSION nodename fsname TSM Server command to find out what versions actually exist on the TSM Server. Each Domino database backup is expired on its own. It is not tied to other backups that occurred during the entire Domino server backup. It is treated just like a file when using the TSM BA client.

Re: Expiration ...
Another way without deleting anything is this. What reclamation percent do you use? If say you use the standard of 60%, then reducing this to 55% will free up more tapes onsite and offsite. David Longo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/22/02 07:01AM We have hit a snag on the system where by we need to manually expire volumes urgently. Our current policy is for 60 days retention, but we need to claw back some volumes for scratch. If I change the retention period I am under the impression that this will not age out existing volumes but simple take affect from the point of change. Is this the case ? I have been told by a consultant that we may have to delete volumes and it could get a little messy. This seems a bit extreme. There must be a way of changing the status of volumes manually which will convince the TSM system that the volumes have expired. Then I should be able to run a normal expire inventory and let the server do the work. Is this possible / correct ? If yes, how can it be done ? If no, what is the solution ? I am working on AIX 4.3.3 ML9, TSM 4.2.1.11. All help is welcome.

Piping a file to dsmc
Hello, We are using ADSM in the following environment: ADSM server Version 3, Release 7, Level 0.0 runs on Sun E6500 Solaris 5.7. IBM tape library is 3494(robot) with 3590-B1A drives. DSM client Version 3, Release 7, Level 2.0 runs on many other Sun E1 servers without any tape drives. I need to do a full database reorganization on a database of about 450GB. The export file(s) will be around 150GB which cannot be stored on disk. I need to run the export and pipe or redirect the output to tape. Is there a way to pipe a file to dsmc for backup - something like cat /etc/hosts | dsmc to backup contents of /etc/hosts ? Thanks, Farshid Behdashti
Re: Single Drive Manual Library
Kolbeinn, Yes, I've done it...but I can't say that I recommend using the backup functionality of TSM when operating in this manner. Normally what I'd do for a small site with a single drive and no robotics is stick just to archives. Unfortunately, with a single drive, doing reclamation is a serious nuisance. You can, if you are really determined to run backups, do single drive reclamations using a disk storage pool...but again, I don't recommend it. I do have customers that are using single drives and just do archives, and are getting along fine in that fashion.

TSM Client for Mac OS X
I am having problems getting the TSM 5.1 Scheduler to work properly on a Mac running OS X. I had previously been running a lower version under OS 9 and I believe I have followed all the installation instructions for the new version. When I start the TSM Mac X Scheduler Daemon it seems to initiate the TSM Scheduler (not the TSM Mac X Scheduler). This then pops up occasionally but never seems to initiate a backup. If I start TSM Mac X Scheduler directly, it initially bounces in the dock and then it starts TSM Scheduler (once then then ran and did a backup but now it just quits as soon as I enter the login info. Is this a problem with permissions? I am logged in to an administrator account. I¹m sure this question is way below the level of this list but I¹m stumped. -Eric Amis

Re: sense errors
It could actually be a problem with the media. We recently had a mjor problem when a batch of 300 tapes had to be sent back and replaced. It took us a long time to determine the problem. Try inserting a tape which has a successful backup on it (i.e. get on e from offsite or someting). If this reads OK then it is probably a media fault.

Re: What to do with a volume that won't ITSM mount in a 3570library?
Look at the actlog at the time operation is attempted and see what error message is and tell us. If it is something like: ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt4, error number=46 then most likely tape is broken. Manually inspect tape - open access door on tape and see if tape is damaged there. I've had many cases of broken 3570 tapes, this is the error you get attempting to mount a broken tape. I've seen a couple of times where this error means something else, but most of the time - broke!

Re: sense errors
Also check micro code levels on the tape drives. Have them brought up to the latest level. Check compatibility between the microcode levels on the drive and the O/S fileset level. You will have to contact the manufacturer for this. You may need to update the fileset. Also make sure that TSM is compatible with the current micro-code level. You may need to upgrade TSM.

Re: ADSM 3.1 - really need some assistance
Stuart, Not to pick on you (not to mention that this could be a fairly complex issue), but did you do a help anr0207e on your ADSM server? It indicates to look for other error messages. Look in your actlog for other errors, both at the same timestamp and on the same database volume - F: \ADSM_SERVER\DB\DB5.DSM. Let us know what other errors you're getting, and we may be able to help more. I won't make any guesses from this point, but I do have a feeling of what may have happened. The ADSM/TSM online help is often actually, well, helpful. I'm amazed at how many questions from people I can answer just by looking at the help and following what it says to do. And I'm amazed at how people think I'm so smart when I can find the answers so quickly. Sometimes interpreting what the help screen says takes some doing, but quite often it's pretty plain and simple. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today is the tomorrow of yesterday.

Dear Mr Eduardo. TSM isn't build to backup with this system that is Grandpa,Father,Son system. I would never recommend this kind of configuration. You should configure your system so that you can cover the whole time Spam you need. You will reduce tremendous cost in tapes with that kind of configuration. When you think of TSM you need to think outside of other backup systems you know. because TSM doesn't handle tape expiration like the other systems. TSM expire on file-level (the way it should be). using tape expiration on TSM is a brutal rape on TSM. I recommend you to use only one opt file and, be sure you can cover the whole time you need in your expire configuration. If you think that will be to much data, consider to binding only the important data to the include/exclude option with client option set with multiple management classes.

Installing TDP for SQL 2.2
We are trying to install the TDP for SQL version 2.2 on to a WinNT4 machine running MS-SQL. So far we have the client (version 4.2.1.20) installed to catch all the non SQL files. It's set up to be called by the TSM server to run and it's doing fine. All the non SQL backups are fine. We have the SQL folders set to be excluded. We are now trying to install the SQL part now and it does not want to play nice. We loaded version 2.2.0.0 and we have gotten it working to point where we can do a SQL backup from the command line and from within the GUI. We can't get it run when it's called from the TSM server. The programs are all installed to the default locations and I ran the dsmcutil install command from the baclient folder to create a new scheduler service for the SQL part. I referred it to the dsm file in the tdpsql folder just like the docs said. I've got a schedule on the TSM server set to kick off at a certain time but nothing happens. I've looked at the assorted log files nothing shows up. If I run tdpsqlc backup * full it runs just fine. Am I missing something here? Do I need to call the sqlfull.cmd from one of the dsm.opt files?

Do the dsm.opt files for the two scheduler services specify different node names? As far as I know, that is the only way to have one TSM server send interleaved requests to two scheduler services on the same client system. Does the schedule definition specify 'action=command', and specify the full path to the tdpsqlc command in the 'object' parameter? Is the sqldsmc.exe file somewhere under the 'Program Files' directory? If so, the schedule definition will need double quotes around the path to get Windows to treat the embedded space in 'Program Files' correctly. If the schedule is defined from an administrative command line session, the 'define' command will need double quotes within single quotes. The single quotes will get the TSM server to accept the embedded blanks and double quotes as part of the command, and the double quotes will get Windows to accept the embedded blank in the path.

We loaded version 2.2.0.0 and we have gotten it working to point where we can do a SQL backup from the command line and from within the GUI. We can't get it run when it's called from the TSM server. The programs are all installed to the default locations and I ran the dsmcutil install command from the baclient folder to create a new scheduler service for the SQL part. I referred it to the dsm file in the tdpsql folder just like the docs said. I've got a schedule on the TSM server set to kick off at a certain time but nothing happens. I've looked at the assorted log files nothing shows up. If I run tdpsqlc backup * full it runs just fine. Am I missing something here? Do I need to call the sqlfull.cmd from one of the dsm.opt files?

Re: Single Drive Manual Library
Yep... it's possible to arrange a single-drive environment; it's highly dependent on the onsite person doing tape mounts on request, and organizing the tape pool to satisfy your retention requirements -- if you're lucky, get sufficient disk pool storage to allow either single-drive reclamation or copy-pool support. I've had two different situations, we resolved them as follows: 1. Manual single-drive -- a file server with Exchange server; we configured it for Incremental forever (the file server node), daily incremental with weekly full for the Exchange; we installed admin client on the desktops of 2 or 3 onsite supervisors, so they would watch for tape mounts, and react accordingly. We used server-to-server across a WAN for the database backups; again, daily incremental, weekly full (on the weekend, when traffic was low). This is probably the worst scenario for trying to use TSM -- but, that's what we did; it was running for about a year when I left the account -- turned it over to centralized backup personnel, who continue the operation. This was a test to see how good or bad it would be to manage remotely; it was okay, but one must always take initiative to monitor the onsite folks performing tape mounts. Rather than try to do reclamation, we did once-a-month Full backups (by changing the policyset to absolute for one cycle), which would cause older tapes to (ultimately) go to Empty, since retention of Exchange was one-month, files was 30-45 days... poor man's trick reclamation. Since this was a DLT, we minimized tape thrashing by running both daily backups in close succession, using same media for all the data... used one tape per week, accumulating approx. 15 tapes total, as they recycled. Refreshed all new tapes once per year. Another reason this is not quite as cool as we'd like is it lacks copy-pool protection against media failure -- for case of a large restore request (as in a disk drive failure). I think, more likely, a simpler approach, would be better -- weekly-fulls might be better than the monthly-absolute -- in case of media failure, you'd still have another copy of all but the most recent week's data). 2. Single-drive library with 6 or 7 slots -- installed sufficient disk pool to handle single-drive reclamation, as per Admin. Guide; works fine, allowed 14-day PIT supporting one tape drive's worth of file-served data (approx. 65 GB in this case); that, plus diskpool used for storing primary copy (never migrated), tape slots used for two copy pools (one kept onsite, the other sent offsite) plus db backups. 14-days of PIT translates to approx. 1.7 x file-server-capacity (using 5% per day data change/add/delete, rule-of-thumb). This is the minimal, workable configuration for TSM (imho); minimum recommended configuration would be TWO tape drive library with sufficient slots to hold all backup data for desired number of versions, plus some slots for db backups daily copy pool tapes... can I do daily incremental db-backups to a single output tape (appending each day's data)?!? Never did reclamation -- all unexpired backup data kept in disk pool, never migrated... eventually, MOVE DATA could be used to vacate disk pool to allow for single drive reclamation of the onsite copy pool. Hope all this helps!

The problem is that you have to do reclamation on the disks (since you only have one tape drive), now with an LTO tape (100 to 200 GB depending of compression) that's a lot os space to leave empty on the server. So my client decided to NOT use reclamation. He routinely deleted the volumes manually to be able to reuse them. To make sure that he had a full copy of his files I configured a selective backup that took everything on his machines once per week. I had to setup TSM to work like the good old days of four incremental and then a full backup. As for the DB backups, he had to change the tape in his drive (doing a dismount vol _volname_ first) manually before the schedule DB backup at 10:00 AM (he didn't want to have to type the commands himself). Then he loads the tapes for tonight checking to make sure there is enough space on it. If there isn't enough space then he does a delete volume _volname_ discarddata=yes. In other words it's pretty horrible. We added an old tape drive he had lying around and use that for the DB backups which helped a little. I guest if you have reclamation it would help a lot, but you still have to manipulate the tapes a lot and check for free space on them before using them. I have setup sites in collocation with small library 5-8 slots and one drive and that works well as long as you have

Consolidating TSM servers.
HiAnybody out there know if it's possible to do a export server, without having to export all filedata, and then do a import and use the existing tapes.We have one STK 9310 and one IBM 3494. Each TSM server has a copypool and a primary tape pool in the different libraries. All equipment is SAN connected, so if I could first do a DB backup/restore to the new machine of one of the TSM servers, and then export everything except for the file data from the second TSM server to the new machine, it would be perfect.Doing a export server filedata=all, would create about1500 new tapes, according to a export server preview=yes (about 31TB of data) and this would probbaly not work at all.So, anybody done this before?Best RegardsDaniel Sparrman---DanielSparrmanExistiStockholmABPropellervägen6B18362HÄGERNÄSVäxel:08-7549800Mobil:070-3992751

Here is the SENSE data from the actlog when I try to do an audit volume fix=yes: 04/22/02 15:36:06 ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRIVE2 (/dev/rmt2) (OP=READ, Error Number=110, CC=0, KEY=03, ASC=11, ASCQ=00, SENSE=F0.00.03.00.00.00.50.58.00.00.00.00.11.00.FE.0A.3- 6.3F.10.00.00.03.01.91.00.45.30.51.E5.8D.08.00.05.33.35- .00.80.33.35.40.88.33.3D.9E.0E.00.00.00.00.03.00.00.02.- 00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.02.80.15.20.0- 0.34.36.36.20.20.20.20.00.C0.00.47.31.30.46.37.31.34.00- .00.00.00.00.00.00, Description=An undetermined error has occurred). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. 04/22/02 15:36:06 ANR8355E I/O error reading label for volume 10F714 in drive DRIVE2 (/dev/rmt2). I went into the 3570 Magstar maintenance manual and this decodes into: error number = 110, unrecoverable media read error key =03, medium error ASC/ASCQ = 11 00, unrecoverable read error I guess this means its a bad tape!

[EMAIL PROTECTED] U 04/22/2002 11:57 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Look at the actlog at the time operation is attempted and see what error message is and tell us. If it is something like: ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt4, error number=46 then most likely tape is broken. Manually inspect tape - open access door on tape and see if tape is damaged there. I've had many cases of broken 3570 tapes, this is the error you get attempting to mount a broken tape. I've seen a couple of times where this error means something else, but most of the time - broke!

There is still data on it and I can't figure out how to get the data off the tape if it won't mount. I don't have the SENSE data error message, though. So, how do I get data off this volume if it won't mount in ITSM?
