Re: reclamation of unavailable primary tapes (was: w/o subject)
Hi, First, sorry for sending the message without subject, I guess the human brain is not supposed to to more than one thing at the same time (especially mine ;-) ). I already knew the question of why sending primary tapes offsite will pop up. The only thing that came to my mind was that the library is not big enough to hold copies of all the important storage pools. The customer already uses a DLT-Autochanger as copy destination for some of the primary storage pools. We are currently busy redesigning the implementation. I am sure we will not get the customer convinced to buy a bigger library. So what else could possibly be done to prevent removing tapes from a primary pool? The customer's environment consists of: 1x 3575-L18 with 3x3570 (C-Drives) 1x DLT Autochanger 7 Slots with 70GB per tape Client data is about 800GB I am not expecting a detailed draft but hints are very welcome Thanks Lars On 10.07.2002 03:53:31 ADSM: Dist Stor Manager wrote: Lars, I do not know what is the idea behind sending primary tapes off-site (DR ??) but this does not help at all in case tape gets somehow damaged. You will learn it the hard way - when you need to restore from the broken tape. Migration threshold set to anything between 0 and 100% will not force/prevent reclamation. They are just different You already gave the answer: update the volumes to readonly or readwrite, check them in the library and lower reclamation threshold (in any order).

Re: client schedules
Yes you can You need to create two different node names and also have two different option files. You need to create two different scheduler services as well. Each scheduler service should be independent of the other with the different option files. This should sort your problem out. I have done this on our NT servers and it works perfectly.

That's a shell issue, not necessarily an AIX issue. The problem is that
the shell is responsible for expanding the commandline parameters. Thus
typing *, the shell expands that to ALL the file that match (i.e. all of
them).
For instances like this, there are probably more ways than I have
fingers, but genrally one that will always work is using find. e.g.
find dir -name '*' -exec rm {} \;

From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Wu, Jie We just got a IBM 3583 LTO library. Currently we have one single stgpool for all our Netware, NT, UNIX servers without collocation. But now we want to define different a stgpool and set up collocation for each OS so they have different set of tapes, which may give a little bit better performance. My question is what is the best way to migrate data from the old stgpool to the new stgpools. Thanks. If you're running TSM 5.1.0 or greater, you can use the MOVE NODEDATA command to move a particular client's data to a designated storage pool. If you're running 4.2 or older, you're only going to be able to collocate all new backups, not any of the existing data. Incidentally, once collocation is in place, your restore speeds will be somewhat faster if you regularly restore large numbers of files. However, backups will be somewhat slower, because you will have to use tape volumes dedicated to a particular OS's platforms. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE

Re: optimising tcpwindowsize and tcpbuffsizes
Our official recommendation is for 63.

Re: dsm.opt for Windows XP
I believe that Douglas wants the user able to restore THEIR files only (security reasons?). I can't think of a way to do this individually, especially in a secure fashion. Most organizations use a personal or home drive. My only suggestion is to request that they keep confidential information there and rely on that file server backup for recovery. ...last minute thought: unique dsm.opt files for each user (a simple matter of changing the nodename)? That would also mean using a user ID as the node name. Though, this seems like an awful lot of work. It may also create additional license requirements.

Re: AIX Question!
Just be aware that find will also go down subdirectories, so if you have
files with similar names in lower levels that you want to keep you have to
find another way. If there are no subdirs, or if the subdirs don't have
similar names then find works great.
Someone mentioned xargs. xargs works great and was faster in a test I saw
(but we are only talking fractions of a second per 1000 files :).
Another way is to ls filespec delthem. Then edit delthem and put rm in
front of every line. (Hint: in vi use :%s/^/rm /). This gives you very fine
control, but is slowest.
There are perl scripts (and I'm sure REXX, python, etc) that wrap around rm
and read the directory to handle large directories.
I could go on, but
Have fun!

deleting a large number of files without getting the 'parameter too
long'
message. i.e. I was trying to delete all the file that began with
program*.
There were too many files, so I had to actually cut my search down, to
something like program01* and so forth, to avoid the error message.
That's a shell issue, not necessarily an AIX issue. The problem is that
the shell is responsible for expanding the commandline parameters. Thus
typing *, the shell expands that to ALL the file that match (i.e. all of
them).
For instances like this, there are probably more ways than I have
fingers, but genrally one that will always work is using find. e.g.
find dir -name '*' -exec rm {} \;
Thanks..
Regards,
Bassam

restore asking for offsite copy instead of primary
I had a user trying to restore a database and found data unavailable to server. The restore was asking for a volume that was offsite. Why wouldn't it ask for the primary copy and how do I know what primary volume the data is on? Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: client schedules
Can i create two client schedule at the same dtart time on one client node. Becase i want to backup two different drive at the same time. I've tried to create the schedules but one always missing the job. How can l solve it. If your server and client are at TSM 3.7 or later you can use the resourceutilization parameter to get multiple concurrent backups under the control of a single schedule.

We are looking at signing a support for some of our tape librarys. The company that will really be doing the support is Eastman Kodak as the nation-wide authorized service provider.

Re: TSM 4.1.1 on MS Windows 2K Cluster
No. I get ANS1084E No files have previously been backed up for 'drive:*'. I did modify the dsm.opt for the cluster resource name. By default, the dsm.opt (as opposed to a dsm_custom.opt) is read by the DSM or DSMC utilities, so it must be changed to enable the correct node ID to restore from, if other than the default node. I can't think of another way to request a restore from a virtual node, such as a cluster resource. -Original Message- From: Mark Stapleton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 05, 2002 8:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM 4.1.1 on MS Windows 2K Cluster From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jon Adams Though I have successfully implemented the TSM Client solution on our clustered servers, I do not appear to have the ability to restore them via GUI. From the GUI, any cluster shared resources DO NOT appear anywhere. Obviously, it's difficult to restore something you can't see. I have indeed verified that the client has been getting it's daily backups and that the file spaces do exist on the server. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it. Can you see the backups if you run the backup from the command-line interface, like this: dsmc restore drive:\foo\bar\* -subdir=yes -pick If you're after point-in-time restores, the line is dsmc restore drive:\foo\bar\* -subdir=yes -pick -ina (Gotta love that pick option!)

Re: optimising tcpwindowsize and tcpbuffsizes
I refer to our position as on the perf site. that is what I consider official as those are the recommendations of the perf team based on real tests. as I wrote in the other post. I'll quote again: TCP/IP Window Size Use the Tivoli Storage Manager option TcpWindowSize 63 on both the Tivoli Storage Manager Windows NT client and Tivoli Storage Manager Windows NT server. Since Windows 2000 supports TCP window scaling, it may be beneficial to use a larger TCP window size for Windows 2000 systems that are communicating exclusively with other Windows 2000 or UNIX systems. Why? Because the maximum tcpwindowsize WITHOUT RFC 1323 (scaling windowsize support) is 65535 bytes, that's 64KB -1. TSM option tcpwindowsize 64 means 64*1024 or 65536 - one byte too big if the client doesn't support RFC 1323. win2000 does support rfc1323, but you have to set a registry entry to take advantage of it. the tcp windowsize sets the SO_RCVBUF option on the socket connection, which is the size of the total data buffered on the connection. MS docs say this size needs to be a multiple of the MTU for best results, but this is basically garbage. For standard Ethernet MTU of 1500 bytes, the difference in the number of packets that can be buffered between 63KB and 64KB is a nit. There is a difference between saying 64KB and meaning 65535 bytes. this does not mean that you can't put the parameter to 64 and actually see an improvement. I gave a general answer. I would be more careful with absolute assertions in this field. I'm somewhat disturbed that a certified TSM consultant is not aware of this.

Re: restore asking for offsite copy instead of primary
From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Blair, Georgia I had a user trying to restore a database and found data unavailable to server. The restore was asking for a volume that was offsite. Why wouldn't it ask for the primary copy and how do I know what primary volume the data is on? Read the server activity log to see which primary pool tape it was trying to get. Once you've got the volume number, check the status and storage pool of the tape (Q VOL F=D) and its physical location (Q LIBV). If it is a primary tape pool volume, and if it is physically in the library, it may have gotten set to an incorrect status (thus the OFFSITE) designation. Update its status to READWRITE, and you should be good to go. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
Re: restore asking for offsite copy instead of primary
I probably didn't make this clear I don't know the primary volume # or how to find it. The restore requested a volume that was physically offsite in the vault.

Re: TSM storage problem
so far Checked cacheing. It's off and has been off since it was installed. There is only one storage pool which is 41% util. This was working fine just a few days ago. There was no changes done by me (The only admin). The max. mount point = 1 for most clients. I didn't change or set this so I'm kind of assuming this is the way it's been all along. Since it worked great before I don't know why it would cause a problem now. What is the recomended setting for this so as not to cause conflicts w/ anything? The same error is coming up accross multiple policy domains (2 domains setup to go to the same storage pool). I finally decided that I just wanted to get it running as I am doing some testing so I deleted the data for the largest node. This didn't help any even though the storage pool is now down to 19% util. I'm really confused and irritated by this sim

Re: TSM DBBackup
Here is the scenario that I was planning if I can get the DBBackup to go to a flat file. Run nightly archive to LTO device Run DBBackup to flat file located on rootvg of AIX box Run Mksysb of rootvg to 4mm tape.

Yes it's a shame you have to waste a lot of space on the dbbackup volume, but it's the same type of volume and that's worth a lot... I guess you have to work out how much your data is worth, if it's more than about $1000 AU then it's definately worth buying some more tape volumes to rotate your DB offsite. The DB is simply too important to mess around with and lose... that single volume represents the entire contents of your server, if you lose that and your db/mirrors on the filesystems your 10,000 tapes aren't worth a thing to you come recovery time they are just a massive collection of ones and zeros...

For example, if you have a DR situation, you will need to source another library/tape drive if your DB exists on another form of tape volume. This is a very poor approach when time is of the essence in the recovery situation. Same goes if your secondary drive/library fails, you will need to start backing up to the LTO anyway, multiple points of failure. Secondly, the LTO will write the DB very quickly to tape and continue on it's merry way. You can also track these tapes with the same library, and rotate say 7 dbbackups offsite and expire them for maximum safety, how cool is that?

Re: TSM DBBackup
You have to start out by creating a DEVCLASS with devtype=file. That specifies the directory you want the file sent to. Here's an example: DEFINE DEVCLASS dbbkuptodisk DEVTYPE=FILE FORMAT=DRIVE MAXCAPACITY=204800K MOUNTLIMIT=1 DIRECTORY=/var/adsmpool SHARED=NO dbbkuptodisk is a made up name, use anything you like. MAXCAPACITY should be large enough to hold one DBBACKUP (although the DB backup will work OK if TSM has to break it into pieces). Then when you do your DB backup, it should look like this: backup db type=full devclass=dbbkuptodisk scratch=yes TSM will create, on the fly, a new file in the /var/adsmpool directory to contain the db backup. If the db backup is larger than maxcapacity, TSM will create a more file and the db backup will span the two files. You can find out what TSM calls the file by looking in the activity log or in the volumehistory file. (Or just looking in the directory) The older db backups go away when you run DELETE VOLHISTORY (same as if your DB backups were going to tape). -Original Message- From: Bill Wheeler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 4:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM DBBackup How do you define where the flat file goes while the DBBackup is running?

Re: TSM storage problem
That's what I had thought also. The people who set it up (set it up for us while training us etc) said it didn't matter either. If the licensing package was not installed can it be installed afterwards? There is an option to install the licensing package (something like that. It's not too clear on exactly what it's for) but I don't want to screw up what I already have setup. Even the sales rep that sold it to us said the licensing wasn't necessary. Funky... sim Gerald Wichmann wrote: To my knowledge, licensing doesn't matter. I have had many servers in the past run for quite some time before I bothered licensing them and a server here that continues to run without registering the licenses. It gripes about being uncompliant in the activity log however no functionality has been disabled. It will be interesting if indeed that's the problem as either I was wrong or Tivoli changed it and made licensing matter. The thing with licensing is all the license files are on the base cd so it doesn't really know whether you paid for them or not. It would be easy for you to check if this is your problem assuming you installed the license package/lpp's simply by doing a reg lic file=mgsyslan.lic number=1 or however many you want to license for the number parameter. Then do a q lic to see if it's compliant. But it does indeed look like that's your problem based on the definition of that ANR.. looks like you found your problem.

Backup a W2K Domain Controller?
Here's an interesting question: why would you want to backup a DC, especially where you have a DC (W2K) or two in every remote site of the WAN? Why/what would you ever restore that you wouldn't get from the other domain controllers if one or even a few are down? I ask this because my theory is when in doubt, backup it up. At a couple hundred dollars a license it seems a reasonable assurance policy (depending on the budget, of course). Another theory applies here as well, backup everything, exclude only as needed, even if that client options set gets pretty big. Jon R.

When doing the add_drv command, it loads the device driver but then fails to attach. When I do add_drv for op it works but I only get a 0op and 1op so I'm not sure why it didn't pick up 10 drives. So my first question is, what do I put in the various conf files? I'm not as familiar with solaris so could use some help. Currently my files look like this: Lb.conf Name=lb class=scsi Target=5 lun=0; Name=lb class=scsi Target=4 lun=0; Name=lb class=scsi Target=4 lun=1; Op.conf Name=lb class=scsi Target=4 lun=0; Name=lb class=scsi Target=4 lun=1; Mt.conf Name=lb class=scsi Target=5 lun=0; Name=lb class=scsi Target=4 lun=0; Probe-scsi-all: /pci@1f,2000/pci@1/scsi@5 Target 0 Unit 0 Removable Medium changerM4 DATA MagFile 2.10 Target 1 Unit 0 Removable Tape HP Ultrium 1-SCSI E15V Target 2 Unit 0 Removable Tape HP Ultrium 1-SCSI E15V /pci@1f,2000/pci@1/scsi@4 Target 0 Unit 0 Removable Medium changerM4 DATA MagFile 2.10 Target 1 Unit 0 Removable Tape HP Ultrium 1-SCSI E15V Target 2 Unit 0 Removable Tape HP Ultrium 1-SCSI E15V /pci@1f,4000/scsi@4,1 Target 2 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 3 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 4 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 5 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 6 Unit 0 Removable Device type 8 HP C1107J 1.40 /pci@1f,4000/scsi@4 Target 1 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 2 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 3 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 4 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 5 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Target 6 Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 HP C1113J 1.10 Gerald Wichmann Senior Systems Development Engineer Zantaz, Inc. 925.598.3099 (w)
Re: TSM storage problem
I would imagine it should be fine installing it afterwards.. It should just dump various *.lic files into the TSM server directory. The license files are only available off the base cd.. i.e. 5.1.0, or 4.2.0, or whichever version you have. If you download an update like 5.1.1, it doesn't include the license files. That's why when you do a fresh install you always start with the base level off the cd, then upgrade it with the update. So you get the license files installed. I'd first check if there are *.lic files in the directory and try licensing it with the command below. If that doesn't work it probably wasn't installed. If that doesn't work then next I would halt the TSM server (type halt at TSM admin prompt or if you're using windows, stop the TSM server service), install the license files, and then start the TSM server again (in windows, the TSM server service). Then try registering it as below. IF you're uncomfortable doing it you could always call Tivoli support and have them walk you through it but it's pretty painless. Doubt you'd hurt anything as TSM is pretty resilient.

The people who set it up (set it up for us while training us etc) said it didn't matter either. If the licensing package was not installed can it be installed afterwards? There is an option to install the licensing package (something like that. It's not too clear on exactly what it's for) but I don't want to screw up what I already have setup. Even the sales rep that sold it to us said the licensing wasn't necessary. Funky... sim Gerald Wichmann wrote: To my knowledge, licensing doesn't matter. I have had many servers in the past run for quite some time before I bothered licensing them and a server here that continues to run without registering the licenses. It gripes about being uncompliant in the activity log however no functionality has been disabled. It will be interesting if indeed that's the problem as either I was wrong or Tivoli changed it and made licensing matter. The thing with licensing is all the license files are on the base cd so it doesn't really know whether you paid for them or not. It would be easy for you to check if this is your problem assuming you installed the license package/lpp's simply by doing a reg lic file=mgsyslan.lic number=1 or however many you want to license for the number parameter. Then do a q lic to see if it's compliant. But it does indeed look like that's your problem based on the definition of that ANR.. looks like you found your problem.
Re: client schedules
only schedule one backup and use the resourceutilization dsm.opt file option. It allows the backup client to multi thread the backup if resources are available. I don't think you can get it to run two scheduled actions at once unless you setup two unique schedulers on the client with two unique node names... -Original Message- From: Max Kwong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 5:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: client schedules Hi all, Can i create two client schedule at the same dtart time on one client node.

Re: Backup a W2K Domain Controller?
Jon, I'm sure there are a number of pros and cons and I'll let others chime in ... one advantage of having a backup of the Active Directory on a given DC is time to recovery. While you can bring an active directory back by simply installing it and letting it synchronize to catch-up to the rest of the organization, this synchronization can take quite a long time depending on the size of the directory. In this case, a backup product can give you a point-in-time copy of the active directory such that the synchronization process only has to catch-up from a time in the recent past. The time to restore from a tape can be much quicker then doing a synchronization from ground-zero. - Jim J.P. (Jim) Smith TSM Client Development Here's an interesting question: why would you want to backup a DC, especially where you have a DC (W2K) or two in every remote site of the WAN? Why/what would you ever restore that you wouldn't get from the other domain controllers if one or even a few are down? I ask this because my theory is when in doubt, backup it up. At a couple hundred dollars a license it seems a reasonable assurance policy (depending on the budget, of course). Another theory applies here as well, backup everything, exclude only as needed, even if that client options set gets pretty big. Jon R.

q sched
Hi , IS there a single command I can use to query the schedule and find the schedules that are not active. I did q sched type=admin f=d but I just want to see the name of the schedule and active?=yes/ no is it possible ? I'm sure it is and I believe some SQL statement can do it - wondering if anyone is having handy statement...? with regards, CAUTION - This message may contain privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.
