Re: What to do with a volume that won't ITSM mount in a 3570library?

[Petur Ey?orsson]

Dear mr Ken Sedlacek


I reccomend you mak the tape destroyed.

You can still try to get data from it. But the you can recreate the data on
it whit the Restore Stg command.

I guess this means its a bad tape!

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!

I have 1 tape that won't mount in the 3570 via ITSM.

There is still data on it and I can't figure out how to get the data off

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?

Remote Tape Library

[Sharif, Munir Arshad]

Hi TSMers,

Does anyone has experience with DWDM with SAN switches, we want to extend
our SAN using IP. We have Gigabit Ethernet connection between sites. The
idea is to configure remote tape library for TSM as local device.

Hi there,

TDP for SAP R/3 on W2000 v 3.2.0.1, TSM server for MVS 4.2.0.0

seems to be OK, but there is error message on the end of backup. This is

Re: ADSM 3.1 - really need some assistance

Hi Stuart!
I would delete the database F:\ADSM_SERVER\DB\DB5.DSM from TSM. Now you can
run your disk check utilities on drive F:.
If no disk errors are found you can add the volume to TSM again. TSM will
automatically sync the database volume with E:\ADSM_SERVER\DB\DB5COPY.DSM
and you are back in business!

Re: a client could not backup?

[Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM]

Hi Julie!
I'm pretty sure it's a security issue on the specific drive's root.
Check for which drive this error is reported.
Is you scheduler using the SYSTEM account? Than is most likely that the
SYSTEM account has no access on the drive's root. So, if it's drive c: that
can't be backed up, check the security settings on c: and give the SYSTEM
account full control access.

Re: a client could not backup?

[Ian Smith]

Julie,

Win32 Return Code 123 means 'The filename, directory name or volume label
syntax is incorrect'.

If this is happening at the start of the backup I would guess that the
current partition doesn't have a label - this was an issue with ADSM v3
windows clients - you have to label the volume before ADSM can back it up.
Is this seem possible ? Else, check your folder names for something
with a nasty character.

Logmode rollforward and incr/full dbbackups

[Warren, Matthew James]

Hi TSM'ers


Does anyone know the difference between a full DB backup and an incremental
DB backup while running in rollforward mode?

Currently, I can't see why they are different..  A full DB backup will clear
the log in rollforward mode and any changes from that point onward are
recorded as transactions in the log. An incremental backup saves all the
changes since the last DBBAckup - why does this not then clear down the log
records that recorded those changes?

What logrecords are actually cleared by the incremental DB Backup?

Matt.

Michael,

To show all versions try this:

   DOMDSMC QUERY DBB * /SUBDIR=YES /INACTIVE

This command will show all versions (active and inactive)
of all database backups that you have on your TSM Server.
That gives you the "client" view of the backups.


To get the TSM Server view of the backups, you will need
to have your TSM Server administrator run the following
command on the TSM Server:

   SHOW VERSION nodename *

"nodename" should be the nodename that you use for your
TDP for Domino client (specified in the DSM.OPT file.)
Again, this is a TSM Server command, not a TDP for Domino command.
This will also show which management class the objects are bound to.
(By the way, this view will show 2 TSM Server objects for each
database backup, one is a data object, the other a meta object.)

Thanks,

Del

Re: expiring object

[Regelin Michael (CHA)]

Thanks Del,

the show version command was very helpful. It show that many files are bound
to a managment class that I did not specified. In this case, it is the MC
Default that is shown for the most part.

But analysing the .OPT file, I'm using the good MC. Maybe the syntax of the
command is not correct

Here is the commande used:

Exclude doc\*
Exclude domino\*
Exclude gtrhome\*
Exclude help\*
Exclude inotes\*
Exclude doc\*
Exclude modems\*
Exclude w32\*
Exclude *.ntf

Include *.nsf domino_month

Before I was using the include like this:

Include domino_month

I changed it to *.nsf to include only the database and not the template...

thank's again

Sincerly,
Mike

Michael,

To show all versions try this:

   DOMDSMC QUERY DBB * /SUBDIR=YES /INACTIVE

This command will show all versions (active and inactive)
of all database backups that you have on your TSM Server.
That gives you the "client" view of the backups.


To get the TSM Server view of the backups, you will need
to have your TSM Server administrator run the following
command on the TSM Server:

   SHOW VERSION nodename *

"nodename" should be the nodename that you use for your
TDP for Domino client (specified in the DSM.OPT file.)
Again, this is a TSM Server command, not a TDP for Domino command.
This will also show which management class the objects are bound to.
(By the way, this view will show 2 TSM Server objects for each
database backup, one is a data object, the other a meta object.)

Thanks,

Del

Re: Logmode rollforward and incr/full dbbackups

[Warren, Matthew James]

Just to clarify, I understand that the incremntal backup under rollforward
mode does not save the complete DB as a full backup does; What I don't
understand is why the incremental does not clear the log.

Hi TSM'ers


Does anyone know the difference between a full DB backup and an incremental
DB backup while running in rollforward mode?

Currently, I can't see why they are different..  A full DB backup will clear
the log in rollforward mode and any changes from that point onward are
recorded as transactions in the log. An incremental backup saves all the
changes since the last DBBAckup - why does this not then clear down the log
records that recorded those changes?

What logrecords are actually cleared by the incremental DB Backup?

Re: expiring object

[Del Hoobler]

Mike,

INCLUDE is a little different for TDP for Domino
than it is for the BA client.  That is because there
are the two objects that make up one TDP for Domino backup.
(There is a "XXX.NSF" and a "XXX.NSF.DATA" object.)
We document this pretty well in the sample options file as
well as the User's Guide. To do what you want, you should
have the following include statement:

   INCLUDE *.NSF* domino_month

Notice the additional "*" at the end of the filespec.
Appendix E (and the sample options file dsm.smp)
explain why this is necessary.

Thanks,

Re: Logmode rollforward and incr/full dbbackups

[Paul Zarnowski]

In logmode=rollforward:
A full DB backup will backup the entire database, plus anything in the log.
An incr DB backup will only backup the log.
The logutil may not drop immediately after a DB backup, if there are
in-flight transactions that have not yet completed.  The logutil will drop
further after they complete.

Re: ADSM 3.1 - really need some assistance

[Prather, Wanda]

As I remember the original message, you have one "bad" primary DB volume,
and TSM is running on the mirror.

I believe the way to "fix" it, is to break the mirror, which you do by
deleting the bad volume.
("deleting" just disconnects the volume from TSM, it doesn't physically
remove it from the file system.)

Then TSM will be running with only one copy of that DB volume.

Wait a few minutes, then add the volume back to recreate the mirrored
environment.

When you re-establish the mirror, TSM will resync the contents by copying
the active volume (the original mirror volume) , and both copies will be
good when TSM reports they are in sync again.

Thanks for the response.  I have used the 'help' option fairly frequently
just recently it seems!  It does not, however, indicate any possible
solution to correct the page error and there are no other messages or errors
relating to the volume in question.  I thought that there must be some way
of 'fixing' the erroneous copy from the good copy.  The database is reported
as being 'in sync'.

I am stumped right now.

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

Re: Remote Tape Library

[Rolf Meyer]

Hello

we use a Magstar tape library at remote location since nearly two years
without any problems. Fiber channel connection is via a DWDM, which is used
also for several network and ESCON connections.

Config is: local TSM server with 100/1000 MBit network to TSM clients and two
FC to two Brocade switches at the remote site. Tape drives are native FC,
also connected to that switches. On the remote site there is an additional
TSM server with two FC channels using the same tape library.

As mentioned: no problems with this kind of connection.

> Isn't it correct ?

Michael,

In your example, you are correct. But in your example,
you are simply using the INCLUDE statement to
specify whether to include a file for backup or not.
Using an INCLUDE to bind objects to a management
class is different. You need to bind both objects to
the same management class in order for them to be
"policy managed" the same way.

Your statement is not correct when you are binding objects
to a non-default management class via the INCLUDE statement.

When binding TDP for Domino objects to a non-default
management class via the INCLUDE statement, you need
to bind both objects that make up the single logical
backup. For specifying a particular database, for example,
it can be done one of two ways:

   INCLUDE mail\user1.nsf.DATAMC1
   INCLUDE mail\user1.nsf MC1
or
   INCLUDE mail\user1.nsf*MC1

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Del

5.1 client and Java Run time issues?

[Jim Kirkman]

I'm probably going to open an ETR on this but wanted to see if anyone
else was familiar with this scenario.

We're testing the 5.1 client (Netware in this case). Using the Netscape
(either 4.7 or 6) browser things seem to work fine. The 6.0 browser has
the JRE plug-in built in, and 4.7 handles the new applet. However, if
you connect with IE 5.5 the Java plug-in that is pushed down hammers the
existing user profile and reverts back to the original machine profile.
This is not good.

So, in the vernacular, 'what's up with that'?! The desktop support team
is not thrilled, for that matter neither are the Novell admins whose
profiles are shot. Any input is appreciated.

Backing up clients from DMZ on TSM server inside the firewall

[Makkar, Jas]

We are trying to develop an approach to backup the
clients who are in the DMZ via TSM server sitting
inside the firewall.  Please comment on the following
strategy:


To backup the Clients in DMZ from TSM Lib located
within the Intranet, install the TSM client on the
Client in DMZ and open a port in the firewall.
Additionally, use data encryption.   To do this, you
would use the include.exclude and exclude.encrypt
options in your options file. . The encryption key for
these can either be stored locally on your machine or
prompted for each time a backup or restore is
attempted. This is set with encryptkey option in your
options file.

TSM clients in DMZ should not be allowed do any
administrative function.   You can only prevent the
client from deleting backups and archives. This can be
performed by running (on the TSM server): update node
 archdelete=no backdelete=no .

Note:  You could also change password=prompt in the
client options file to require a password before a
client could perform any actions.  Not recommended
though.   Additionally, since the TSM server address
is required in client options file, you  can't hide
information about the TSM server, in case of security
breach.

ANY BETTER IDEA is appreciated.  Additionally, any red
flags in the strategy.

Re: Backing up clients from DMZ on TSM server inside the firewall

NAT the TSM server address so that it appears to be in the DMZ.

That way if you need to change the layout of the LAN outside of the DMZ,
you don't have as many firewall rules to change.

Has anyone seen a document that describes exactly what ports the TSM client
needs to use for a backup session? Using tcpdump to figure out what we need
open seems kind of backwards.

unavailable.  If so change them to read/write and try the backup again.

archive problem - what am I missing

[George Lesho]

TSMers:
All AIX 433 TSM 4.1.4.5 server 4.1.3 client

I put together a script to do a full archive of our production servers and
am testing currently on a development box/client. The intent of the script
is to archive all JFS file systems less the root FS.

#!/bin/ksh

chmod 755 /tmp/FS
> /tmp/FS

df -k | grep "/dev" | egrep -v "hd4" | awk '{print $7}' > /tmp/FS

cat /tmp/FS |

while
read -r SLICE
do

dsmc archive -archmc=14periods -subdir=yes -quiet "${SLICE}/"
done
__
These are my actual file systems & the output of the file "FS" created
above; results are as expected:

dev: /usr/local/bin->  df

Problem is, I have only archived about 1.3 gigs in 3 hours and I checked
the network and ethernet interfaces and there are no significant errors.
This performance is miserable... noticed while monitoring the session from
the server that there are very high idle times; nothing else going on on
the server (no processes). Any help/hints would be appreciated!

TSM'ers I need help

I am trying to configure the above on an Xseries box running Win2K advanced server. 
All the correct drivers have been used and all the components are at the correct 
firmware levels.

All devices in the solution are connected to a 2109 S16

The problems I have encountered are as follows:

1. The windows device manager always shows an exclamation mark next to the SDG (Will 
not properly recognise it or configure it).
2. When trying to configure the drives and library into TSM, it will not work using 
the Windows 2000 element addressing but rather the generic addressing. This 
subsequently causes checkin libvol to fail (I think!)

If any of you guys have ever configured something akin to this environment you may be 
able to help me answer a couple of questions:

1. Based on the above, does anything immediately come to mind, from your experience?
2. With the tape drives in the 3583 being SCSI but the attachment being Fiber, must 
the TSM server "see" the drives as SCSI of fiber drives?

I know this may all sound rather vague but its the best way I could try and explain 
it...

Help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
John

Re: archive problem - what am I missing

[Andrew Carlson]

I know you probably checked this, but we just had a problem like this -
slow backup, long idletimes.  It was on Netware, but I have also seen it
on AIX.  Our problem was a mismatch in duplex - the switch thought it
was half, and the box thought it was full.  Try doing an FTP between the
AIX box and the TSM box, and see what your throughput it.

Re: ADSM 3.1 - really need some assistance

[Ward, Stuart]

Thanks to all for their help.

Broke mirror - deleted file from hard disk - recreated volume outside of
ADSM - re-mirrored.

All seems well and it has passed the failure page in the DB backup without
incident.

For reference in the future and out of interest, did I really not need to
delete the file itself at the filesystem level and hence save time in its
re-creation?

Thanks again

Stu

As I remember the original message, you have one "bad" primary DB volume,
and TSM is running on the mirror.

I believe the way to "fix" it, is to break the mirror, which you do by
deleting the bad volume.
("deleting" just disconnects the volume from TSM, it doesn't physically
remove it from the file system.)

Then TSM will be running with only one copy of that DB volume.

Wait a few minutes, then add the volume back to recreate the mirrored
environment.

When you re-establish the mirror, TSM will resync the contents by copying
the active volume (the original mirror volume) , and both copies will be
good when TSM reports they are in sync again.

Thanks for the response.  I have used the 'help' option fairly frequently
just recently it seems!  It does not, however, indicate any possible
solution to correct the page error and there are no other messages or errors
relating to the volume in question.  I thought that there must be some way
of 'fixing' the erroneous copy from the good copy.  The database is reported
as being 'in sync'.

I am stumped right now.

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.

This is normal as long as you can see SCSI device attached to that SDG .

1. Need to use adsm device driver "adsmscsi.sys" , go to service and make
sure adsm device driver started by system or before start dsmserver.

  ***TSM server do not support using generic device driver on SDG attached
device or local attached device on NTx ***

2. Need to use ADSM server utility to get the elements addressing, go to
device information to get the element addressing.



again, unload all windows device drivers and ONLY load SCSI device drive
for ALL devices(libraries) in San Data Gateway.

never use generic device driver come with windows or device FOR TSM
OPERATION UNLESS YOU ARE DOING "RESTORE local BACKUPSET FROM SDG"

Expiring specific files

[Todd Lundstedt]

I have a bunch of files that have been backed up in one directory on this
node that we no longer need to keep.  These files all have unique names,
but share the extension of .prt.  There is a very large number of inactive
versions (simply because these are temporary files that get deleted each
day).  I would like to find a way to expire the files in this folder.

Is there a command to do this? or do I have to change the management class
for this file to a dummy management class/backup copy group (say, "nohold"
set to 1, 0, 0, 0)?

If I have to change the management class, what are the steps I need to do
to accomplish this?  Is it simply...

Create new management class/backup copy group (call it nohold)?
modify the options file for this node to have an "include \*.prt
nohold"
and then run an incremental

Is that basically it?

Re: Expiring specific files

[David Longo]

If this was a unix platform AND the files are the ONLY thing in a 
filesystem (filespace) then just use DELETE FILESPACE on the TSM
server would be simplest way.

HACMP and password-file

[brian welsh]

Hello,

Server AIX 4.3.3, TSM-server 4.1.1.0 and client AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 4.1.x

We have some problems with two clients using HACMP. On both clients there is
a TSM-client. We use Password Access Generate. When there is a fail-over,
the password-file in /etc/security/adsm is deleted and the client is trying
to connect the server. This results in 10 to 20 stop and start sessions in
the Activity Log and it grows so fast that in a few minutes the Activity Log
is unreachable. Besides the errorlog on the client is getting very big. We
know why it is happened and how to stop is, but the question is:
how are sites setup TSM-clients on HACMP-systems, and how do these clients
react in case of fail-over.

Thanks,

Brian.

Unwanted, unscheduled FULL Backups

[Jon Adams]

Title: Message



Here's an
interesting one for us: periodically, a client will "decide" to perform a full
backup during a scheduled incremental, regardless of existing file spaces or
status of the client files or options in any way, shape or form.  Does
anyone know of any setting or issue that would cause this to happen? It has
happened about three times on three different clients in the
last several months and the best we can come up with is a
possible TSM database corruption.   Any idea's would be
greatly appreciated, as always.  
 
We're running
TSM v4.1x on AIX v5.x with all flavors of Windows and AIX
clients.

Nope.. sorry .. I didn't include any specific info..
TSM Server 4.2.1.7 running on AIX 433
the node in question is Netware 4.11 running TSM B/A Client for Netware
4.1.3.0.
It is an application and fileserver, so no, there is a LOT more stuff on
this filespace than just the files I want to expire off.

[no subject]

[Don France (TSMnews)]

If you truly want to snapshot your current data on a weekly/monthly/yearly
basis, the current-release recommended solution would be "generate
backupset" -- which, at least, avoids re-sending the data across the LAN.
Alternatively, Unix has image backup capability, and 5.1 will have it for
Win2K. Either way, you get a consolidated copy of current data residing on
the associated client file systems.

You should, however, consider the challenges posed by Petur, since they
*may* be more pertinent than achieving the technical response you requested.

Subfile backup - extra files in subfilecachepath

[Rushforth, Tim]

I'm just starting to test out subfile backup...

My include is include.subfile d:\data\outlook\*.pst

This directory contains only one file.  There are no other include.subfile
(q inclexcl shows no others).

On an incremental of just the directory above, the subfilesache directory
contains 3 files after the backup - the db, a meta, and the base file.

When an incremental of the entire workstation is run, the subfilecache
directory contains 169 files! (all extra meta and base files).

TSM client is 4.2.1.20 - Server 4.2.0.

So it seems like multiple files are being included in the subfile backup.
How does one tell what files are being included in the subfile backup?

This has happened on 2 different machines (which is all I've tried it on so
far!)

Has anyone run into this?


Thanks,

File systems skipped with Sun Solaris 2.5.1 running TSM client 3.1.0.8 with OS/390 TSM Server 4.2.1.9

[Nancy R. Brizuela]

Hello All,

We have a backup client running on Sun Solaris 2.5.1 with TSM client
3.1.0.8.  Our server is running on OS/390 V 2.6 with TSM server 4.2.1.9.
Some of the time, the backups for this client are successful.  It is
occasionally and randomly missing entire file systems, though.  The
backup is marked as successful and the error log show nothing amiss.
The error log did show an "out of memory" condition on a day that the
backup worked correctly.

Has anyone run into this problem?  Did you find a solution?  Is anyone
using a higher level TSM version on a Sun Solaris 2.5.1 client?  We know
we have an old OS and an old TSM client, but upgrading the client OS so
that we could use a newer version of the TSM client is not an option
right now.

I am replacing Windows 2000 drives where the TSM database, log and disk pool
information is.  My current configuration is as follows:
c:\ tivoli
E:\ database and log volumes
F:\ database and log mirroring
G:\ stgpool

I also have the new drives available and labeled as:

H:\
I:\
J:\

It does not seem like I can simply copy the files to the new drives and then
rename the drive letters.  I know how to use dsmfmt -db and -log to create
new files, then expand the database and log files onto the new drives, and
delete the old ones.  This would then have me using the H:\, I:\, and J:\
drives without the E:\, F:\, and G:\ drives.  This would of course work, but
I would rather not have the gap in drive letters and Microsoft may not like
them either.  Can I then rename the drives and configure TSM to use the new
letters?  Is there another way to do this?

Re: Slow restores

[Don France (TSMnews)]

Another huge contributor to this phenomenon is failure to use DIRMC on disk
(and FILE on disk for sequential migration/reclamation) storage pools.

A lot of servers and a lot of objects (more common with Windows these days)
need all the help they can get;  keeping directories on disk (using DIRMC
trick) makes a huge difference in the number of tape seeks required... see
other posts about restore times.  I had a customer with non-collocated DLT
backups for 30 servers, spread over 45 tapes;  it only took about 30 hours
to restore 316 GB, 1.6 million objects -- that's over 10 GB/Hr, faster than
most benchmarks!

Re: TDP for NDMP

[Don France (TSMnews)]

You've just about gottit all.  There is some concern about this whole thing;
currently, you are limited to image backups using NDMP;  if you want
file-level granularity, you must use NFS mount to access the file system
from a supported b/a-client... not as pretty as you'd like, but that's the
way it is.  Then, too, you are limited to NAS filer;  Auspex and other
filers are not supported.

The storage pool limitation comes from the format used to store the data;
they "invented" a new concept/format for NDMP storage pools, so must be kept
segregated from "standard" storage pools;  I THINK you can still use "backup
stg" command -- but you cannot intermix the different types of primary
storage pools in a common copy-pool.

IBM/Tivoli is wondering how much market there is to justify expanding this
support -- (a) file-level granularity and/or (b) other filers.  IMHO, I'd
want to see file-level granularity.  Comments can be posted here...

unix trigger for TSM Server processes?

[Glass, Peter]

What is the best way to have unix trigger a TSM backup storagepool process?
We need to start this process immediately upon completion of a client's DB2
backup. We can't very well schedule this, because the completion time of the
backup varies widely, from one backup to the next. We can afford to begin
the tape copy process neither too soon, nor too late.
One idea might be to have a DB2 script invoke unix to start something via
/usr/bin/dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=password, et cetera, but this would mean
hardcoding the password with the -pass= parameter, which would present a
security exposure.
Any suggestions on how we might accomplish this would be greatly appreciated
(both the client and server platforms are AIX 4.3.3; TSM is at V4 R2).
Thanks, in advance.

Re: unix trigger for TSM Server processes?

[Seay, Paul]

I have semi-solved this problem.  I have placed the dsmadmc command in a
execute only script file.  The key is automatically changing the password
often in case it gets exposed.  So, I wrote a script that creates random
passwords and changes the password often.  I run this script under root or a
userid that is the only one that has access to read/write the dsmadmc script
file.

I know we need a password generate function for server directed dsmadmc
commands, but there is not a real good way to do this.

Re: File systems skipped with Sun Solaris 2.5.1 running TSM clien t 3.1.0.8 with OS/390 TSM Server 4.2.1.9

[Seay, Paul]

The out of memory condition looks like a successful backup, but it really is
not.

How much memory is on the Solaris machine and how many files does the
largest filesystem tree path have?  Unfortunately, there were some memory
leaks fixed in later releases of TSM that may apply all the way back to
3.1.0.8 but they will never be fixed there.

The client you are using is the last one that was created for 2.5.1.  No
vendors support Solaris 2.5.1 any longer.  Sucks, but that is just a
financial fact.  The vendors cannot support every release of an OS anymore.
It is just too costly for them to do certification testing.

Hello All,

We have a backup client running on Sun Solaris 2.5.1 with TSM client
3.1.0.8.  Our server is running on OS/390 V 2.6 with TSM server 4.2.1.9.
Some of the time, the backups for this client are successful.  It is
occasionally and randomly missing entire file systems, though.  The backup
is marked as successful and the error log show nothing amiss. The error log
did show an "out of memory" condition on a day that the backup worked
correctly.

Has anyone run into this problem?  Did you find a solution?  Is anyone using
a higher level TSM version on a Sun Solaris 2.5.1 client?  We know we have
an old OS and an old TSM client, but upgrading the client OS so that we
could use a newer version of the TSM client is not an option right now.

Re: Expiring specific files

[Steve Harris]

Todd,

I just had this problem with a bunch of oracle archive files that had been placed into 
the wrong directory and so had picked up the default retention (retonly 365) instead 
of the oracle one (retonly 35).  Your suggested approach will work fine for active 
files, which will be rebound, but inactive files will not be. 

As you have suggested, set up your includes to give these files a short retention 
period.
Then, generate your list of inactive files.  In my case it was easy as the files had 
ascending sequence numbers.  If your case isn't that simple you could use either the 
ba client q backup command or alternatively use the admin client to select 
appropriately from the contents table and post-process the output.  Both approaches 
have issues, but are do-able.

Take this list and process it through your favourite scripting language.
In batches of say 100 files,
create a new zero length file with the name of the file you want deleted from tsm. 
Under unix I'd use touch, under windows I'm not sure.
back up the directory
delete the batch

Repeat until all files processed.
back up the directory one last time
Set your include/excludes to whatever your long term requirement is for this.

This should fix the problem.

I have a bunch of files that have been backed up in one directory on this

Re: TDP for NDMP

[Gerald Wichmann]

Well that doesn't bode well for Tivoli's plans for future NDMP
functionality =)

Other then the obvious advantage of sending the data directly to tape vs
across a network (twice since it's nfs mounted), are there any
advantages to using the TDP for NDMP?

I mean if it's an "image" backup essentially, aren't you backing up the
entire thing each time? At least via NFS you'd only grab the files
changed (and thus be able to restore only single files and achieve a
greater degree of granularity). On the other hand with the amount of
storage that fits on an NFS server, simply scanning and backing one up
is terribly time consuming unless you can break it out to multiple
clients somehow.

Re: TDP for NDMP

[Thomas A. La Porte]

We are definitely anxious to see file-level granularity. This
(NDMP support) is something that Legato has had for well over a
year now, so TSM is a bit behind in its support. Given the
success of Network Appliance, I would think that there is
becoming a large enough user base that is interested in this
support.

Re: unix trigger for TSM Server processes?

[Roger Deschner]

I go one step farther, in never storing the password itself on disk, but
instead storing an encrypted form of it. The key is stored in a separate
location. The script decrypts it each time it uses it, and never stores
it. When I change the password, I change the key too. It's kind of like
requiring two passwords. All this is only stored on/running on a root
account.

I agree that somehow implementing password generate for the dsmadmc
command would be better. Or, what if it simply did not require a
password if it was running on root? If the unix root user is
compromised, what does TSM have left to hide?

LTO and backupsets, slow restore

[Radoslav Bendik]

Hello,

I have a problem with very slow restores from bakupsets from LTO tape
(200kB/s). Also import node runs very slowly (export node has generated
50G within 1 hour; less then 2G has been imported after 4 hours). Exports
and backupset generation is fast.

Is this normal behavior? Or there are some settings (tape block size,
buffer sizes), which can speed up restores? Problems are only on server
side.

Has anyone experiences with big export/import between TSM servers???


Environment is TSM server v4.2.1 on Solaris, LTO 3583 library connected
trough SAN. Clients are Solaris 7/8 on SAN.

Re: Unwanted, unscheduled FULL Backups

[Reinhard Mersch]

Does "full backup" mean that all files are backed up? I have seen this
on several occasions:

- due to the DST error in some client versions (see APAR IC28544),

- when the client's admin changed the ACLs on all files on the client,

- when a filespace was renamed on the client,

- ...

I do not think, that this is a TSM database problem.

Hi

We had a Netware 5 client tivoli 4.2.1.29 working fine till two weeks ago .
Now every backup it perform is a full backup but my scheduler command is
incremental ?
The only changes we made is to install Norton Antivirus instead Macfee. The
backup is schedule at 22:00 and the Norton Antivirus scan at 04:00.

Any help will be really appreciate.

T.I.A Regards
