LOG-rotation
Hi everybody! My TSM log-files are getting larger and larger.. So I am about to write a Kix-script that archives my TSM logs. Are there any problems related to deleting the .log files for TSM? Is the client-side log files used for anything server-side? Thanks alot for any input! --Tor Arne
Bare Metal Recovery with Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Interne t Explorer 6
I tested the last days bare metal recoveries of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Internet Explorer 6 installed on it. I followed the instructions of the basic Windows 2000 BMR procedere with TSM - installing a windows 2000 basic system - configuring Servername and IP address - installing Service Pack to original level - installing TSM Client - performing a TSM restore of the System Partition - performing a TSM restore of the Windows System Objects - performing a restore of the other partitions The result looks fine. The most settings are brought back, but the Internet Explorer 6 is missing. Starting the Internet Explorer, shows you the startscreen of Internet Explorer 5. If you try to repair the Internet Explorer 6, you get a message that serveral dlls have not the right version. My opinion is, that the dlls, which could not be restored, are in use. Is their a solution, that TSM can restore dlls which are in use?

create additional diskpool in adsm3.1 on AIX problem
Hi all, Until now i've worked with tsm only and in this when you create additional diskvolumes you create a logical volume and point tsm to the /dev/rLV. It then formats and uses the space assigned. Now m,y problem is creating additional diskvolumes within adsm 3.1. I,ve tried doing this the same way, but it gives error. I.ve tried then to create a filespace for it, but it didnt quite grasp that either. I cant really find any usefull documentation on this and its really important that its done todayplease help and receive my undieing gratitude!! ;o) mi©helle

Re: TSM 5.1.1 Win2000 server reboot
Hi Kurt, I have had a similar problem (maybe the same) with TSM v. 4.2.2 on an IBM x342, with adaptec 39160 SCSI controller, and LTO library IBM 3584. In my case it rebooted 1-2 times pr. day. I bugged me alot, but seemingly it was a problem with the SCSI Controller Driver on w2k. To fix this I made a database backup of TSM, and installed w2k from scratch, then installed the correct driver for the adapter-card (found on ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Win2000/adaptec_lun.zip), reinstalled TSM, and restored the TSM database. I haven't had the problems after that. Now, I don't think reinstalling OS should be necessary, but I believe the problem is something related to registry settings for device adpu160m (the adaptec controller), and when updating this driver, some settings still are in registry or some files exist that are not replaced when updating the driver. Another problem is that because the server goes down unexpectedly, TSM is likely to have a corrupted database, and when you get the server to run OK, you should do an AUDITDB on your tsm. (Oh my, this is slow...) The other option is to drop your database, and just do the full backup all over again. Hope this helps... Rgds. Geirr G.

!Urgent - SDLT/TSM slow after upgrade from v. 4.2.1.7 to v. 4.2.2 .12
Hi Everyone! For one of our customers I have recently upgraded their TSM server (and TSM device-driver) from v. 4.2.1.7 to 4.2.2.12, because of added support for multiple modules of library Compaq MSL5026DLX. Configuration is now: TSM Server (+dev.driver) v. 4.2.2.12 Library Compaq MSL5025DLX (2 modules) with 3 SDLT 220 drives. After the upgrade, many of the processes takes a very long time to complete. Expiration used to take 10-15 minutes, takes now 1,5 hours. Database backup used to take about 20 minutes, takes now 1-2 hours, migration is slow, space-reclamation is very slow, and when they try to stop spacereclamation, it takes hours before it stops. I'm sorry I don't have any numbers (MB/s) for these processes. I might have more data on this by tomorrow. But I would like to know if anyone else have seen similar problems after an upgrade. Any help is highly appreciated! Rgds. Geirr G. Halvorsen

Hi Tor Arne, if you're talking about the client's logs (dsmsched.log, dsmerror.log) they are there only for your information. You have th possibility to tune hav large they become by using the settings SCHEDLOGRETENTION and ERRORLOGRETENTION in the client options file.

Re: Restore NT4 on difference machine
Hello, We use the following process : 1.. Install system NT with Microsoft CDRom on another disk than C: Then install the service pack. 2.. Copy boot.ini , which is on C:, in boot.bck . 3.. Install on the same disk TSM client. Customize TSM client with the same name than the one to restore. 4.. Launch GUI of TSM client and select all C: and restore. 5.. With Edit (wordpad, etc.) open the file boot.ini restored. 6.. Copy at the end of this file the content of boot.bck. boot.ini contains now two adresses of boot : the one of the restored system (which doesn't work yet) and the one of the installed system (which is working). 7.. Then copy two other files from the installed system to the restored system : WINNT/SYSTEM32/HAL.DLL WINNT/SYSTEM32/NTOSKRNL 8.. Reboot the server on the restored NT system. 9.. Relaunch GUI of client TSM and ask for a restoration of the registry base with selecting system object. 10.. Reboot the server on the restored NT system. 11.. Verify that it works fine. 12.. When restore of C: is OK, it's possible to delete NT system on the other disk. Then modify boot.ini to delete the boot address of the installed NT system. 13.. Restore the other disks with the GUI TSM client. I hope it will help !

Re: create additional diskpool in adsm3.1 on AIX problem
Hmm look at this ANR7864W (AIX) Unable to write volume file name. Explanation: The server was attempting to create a file with the indicated name. The server was able to partially write to the file before running out of space. System Action: The server continues processing. The file creation request fails. The file is still present on the system. User Response: Specify a new file name where there is sufficient space. Ok this is what you gotta do. go to the filesystem /bfaa1dk3 and issue the rm command on the file you where trying to create. Then try to reissue the command and try a smaller volume this time just try like 2 mb size, if it works then you know that the problem is your size, del the 2mb volume and reissue ther rm command on the 2mb file and try creating a real vomume next. be sure you have enugh space for the file on your filesystem. That should take care of it.

Re: TSM 5.1.1 Win2000 server reboot
Adaptec has an updated driver on their site that works great. The default driver delivered with Win2k has problems with LTO tape.

Re: Help for 2108 failure
Thanks for all you prompt responses. I figured out the problem was the /dev/rmtX and element mapping has been changed since the 2108 right after I sent out my help message. I re-defined the drives in TSM, then the problem has been solved. Thanks you gurus, Dan, David, Suad and Mark. You guys are so helpful! Jason Liang - Original Message - From: Dan Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 11:37 PM Subject: Re: Help for 2108 failure The other possibility is that since the 2108 was replaced, there may be a small chance the /dev/rmtX mapping no longer matches what the previously assigned rmtX-to-element ID mapping was. Which conceivably could produce this sort of error, if TSM and the library disagreed about what logical/physical drive matched up? What I'd suggest is: tsm q drive f=d Then note each rmtX device name and what element ID it corresponds to. (in TSM) Then do some tracing to figure out which element ID each rmtX device actually physically corresponds to. Then you'll soon see if the TSM setup and the probed devices in AIX matches or not. If they don't match, update the TSM drive entries for rmtX and element ID ASAP. Should normally take only about 5-10 minutes of work to figure out the mapping from scratch. Keep good notes and issue a whole bunch of commands to assist in the logical-to-physical tracing. I just finished fixing all this after no end of fun with the 3584 setup and mismatched rmtX/element IDs. -Dan

On what OS are you seeing these problems?. I'm on AIX 433 and installed 4.2.2.12 last friday. Everything seems to be going OK. My db backups take 40 minutes which is the same as before. I upgraded over a month ago to 4.2.2.10 from 4.1.3.0 and my summary table doesn't go back that far so I can't see how the performance was with 4.1.3.

Re: Future plans for encryption in TSM
Does HIPPA specifically dictate 1024 bit encryption? I think the answer is no, but if it is yes, all the software vendors are hosed. As customers we will have 1 server per user.

LAN-free backup goes SAN, LAN, SAN
Hello all, If you do not like to read long posts please skip this one - it can be boring. I have a very nasty problem at customer site and asking for your help are we the only having it. If not can we fight it together. Environment: Server: v4.2.1.15, Windows 2000 SP2 Client: v4.2.2.1 (was 4.2.1.25), AIX 4.3.3ML09 + patches Storage Agent: v4.2.1.15, TCP/IP or Shared Memory SAN: IBM 2108-F16 (Brocade) switch + IBM 3583-L18 (ADIC) LTO with 2 drives Storage policy: Stgpools use defined volumes and no scratches. Yes, I know it's very unusual combination (Windows TSM server + AIX nodes). Even support in the beginning thought it is AIX server w/ Win client. The node in question is somewhat mixed - small (50kB) and large (Nx100MB or 1-4GB) files. So for performance small files are directed to go over LAN. Large files are bound to direct-to-SAN-tape class and storage agent should take care of them. DIRMC is pointing diskpool as it ought to. Now the problem: 1. Client starts backup, sent several directories over LAN, on first file reported ANS1114I and waits server to mount a volume on behalf of storage agent (OK) 2. Variable number of files are backed up for less than 1% of the volume mounted (OK) 3. Client reports another ANS1114I (here is the problem). Under the covers it seems than client requested this and next several files to go over LAN instead of LAN-free. So mount is performed by server for its own use (normal MgSysLAN path). 4. Another bunch of files are backed to second volume. 'Q SES' shows tens of MBs so files go over LAN. 5. Third ANS1114I is reported and client resumes normal operation 6. Backup completes with no error, everything is backed up but for enourmous time - test with 3-4 GB went good 20 minutes instead of 5. The result of this SAN-LAN-SAN sequence is two volumes less than 5% utilized, 5-minutes backup taking between 20 and 40 minutes and unwanted data spread. Contents are VOL1: file set 1, file set 3 VOL2: file set 2 And if accidentally second drive is busy (migration most often) the process might go to bed in step 3 and wake up one hour later (when drive becomes available on the end). Partial workaround: If DIRMC is set to point the tapes LAN-free works as it ought to and 4.3 GB take 5 minutes including mount time. But backup of 20kB in 5 files is taking again 5 minutes just because DIRMC required tape mount. This moves the problem in other area without solving it at all. Support requested client upgrade from v4.2.1.25 to v4.2.2 with no success. Upgrade of the storage agent (plus the server and other agents) is postponed because we want to ensure this problem is resolved before to introduce new ones in v4.2.2. As always any hints, advices or similar experience are thankfully welcome. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant
Re: TSM 5.1.1 Win2000 server reboot
Hi, Sorry I couldn't reply any earlier. I've got some additional info. The server was already at the client since august. The Adaptec SCSI controller and library were installed in september. The server was already rebooting several times a day from the beginning, I've found this in the event log. So there is definitely a hardware problem causing the reboots and TSM or the Adaptec SCSI controller can't be the cause. I'll check the Adaptec driver version tomorrow.

In my case it rebooted 1-2 times pr. day. I bugged me alot, but seemingly it was a problem with the SCSI Controller Driver on w2k. To fix this I made a database backup of TSM, and installed w2k from scratch, then installed the correct driver for the adapter-card (found on ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Win2000/adaptec_lun.zip), reinstalled TSM, and restored the TSM database. I haven't had the problems after that. Now, I don't think reinstalling OS should be necessary, but I believe the problem is something related to registry settings for device adpu160m (the adaptec controller), and when updating this driver, some settings still are in registry or some files exist that are not replaced when updating the driver. Another problem is that because the server goes down unexpectedly, TSM is likely to have a corrupted database, and when you get the server to run OK, you should do an AUDITDB on your tsm. (Oh my, this is slow...) The other option is to drop your database, and just do the full backup all over again. Hope this helps... Rgds. Geirr G.

Re: Backup reporting
There was a problem where the bytes transferred in the summary table as zero. It has been fixed in later patch levels. I'm not sure what the APAR number is or the level where it was fixed. If you need this data, turn on the accounting records. There is an additional field Amount of backup files, in kilobytes, sent by the client to the server in addition to the Amount of data, in kilobytes, communicated between the client node and the server during the session. The bytes communicated is the total bytes transferred and includes and re-transmissions/retries. I believe the Amount of backup files, in kilobytes, sent by the client to the server is just what was sent AND stored in TSM. I haven't fully looked into this, but if I'm trying to get a total for the amount of data backed up I would be using this field as opposed to the bytes transmitted field.

SSH is a much better way to talk remotely with a unix based machine. Everything (including your login id and password) is encrypted. Plus the SSH suite includes sftp with is ftp without the clear text passwords flying around the internet.

Re: Backup reporting: SUMMARY TABLE ISSUE IS FOUND
The problem is the summary table is broken right now. I just got off the phone with Level 2. We think we have identified the cause of the problem. As it turns out the SUMMARY table records are written by the control session, not the actual backup sessions. What is happening is the control sessions are timing out and a new control session is being formed to send the statistics information. If you look at the start and end timestamps with the following select and then look at the activity log you will see what I am talking about. This select lists all sessions that have a byte count of zero. You will notice the start and end timestamps are usually the same or only a few seconds apart. The reason is the wrong numbers are being recorded. select entity, number, start_time, end_time from summary where bytes=0 and start_time current_timestamp-5 days and activity = 'BACKUP' order by 1,3 The issue is I can envision this is going to be very difficult to fix in the current design.

Re: Backup reporting
In developing Servergraph/TSM, we've tried various techniques to see bytes transferred. The summary table has been unreliable; The ANE49xx messages from the client that appear in the activity log have been unreliable; but the accounting log HAS been reliable. One gotcha is that the total bytes field apparently includes overhead. That is to say, there are six bytes-trasmitted fields in the accounting log record: KB backed-up KB restored KB archived KB retrieved KB HSM-migrated KB HSM-recalled and then there's a seventh field, total KB transferred. The seventh total-bytes field is always MORE than the sum of the first six. What's the difference? I'd ask Andy, but we think it's TSM server sending the metadata down to the client before backup starts, and/or files being retransmitted because the client detected that they changed during backup. Our current graphs show this quantity over time, averaged across all nodes. It typically runs 10-40% over time. Does this really mean that there's 10-40% wasted network traffic? And could this go down (making a site more efficient) if the site used Journal-based backup? - Mr. Lindsay Morris Lead Architect, Servergraph 859-253-8000 ofc 425-988-8478 fax -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Boyer Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 3:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Backup reporting There was a problem where the bytes transferred in the summary table as zero.

3584 tape questions
I've finally got the new 3584 library up and worked through all hardware and TSM issues, and just finished with the first round of successful tests. Looks sharp! Currently tuning the setup (disk, memory, network, TSM, etc). Environment: AIX 4.3.3 ML10, pSeries 660-6H1, TSM 4.2 (5.1 next week) to 4.2.2.12, SCSI attachment to host, 3584-L32 and 3584-D32 frames. Two questions about 3584 tapes -- 1. Is it normal for it to take 45 seconds to read/verify the label on the tape? The tape load itself is pretty quick, but takes forever-and-an-half to read/verify the label. 2. There's two label sources -- one is the barcode scanner, which works great and *very* quick, and it seems the other label source is on the tape somewhere. Where exactly on the tape is the label preserved, other than the volser bar code label? Is it in the LTO-CM area of the tape? Or is it on the first part of the tape, or something? I'm curious about this because the implications is that if I do destructive read-write tests with tapes involving overwrite, I might potentially overwrite the label, and have to relabel it? The documentation suggests that 'LABEL LIBVOL' for a 3584 would update label in the LTO-CM area of the tape cartridge, but it isn't real definite or clear on that point. -Dan

Sun UFS Snapshots.
Hi All, I've had a new system dropped on me which has its config driven by the vendor rather than from the IT end. As such I'm supposed make a backup recommendation. The product backs up by using UFS functionality available in Solaris 8. This allows one to issue an fssnap command, which creates a new unix device which you can then mount and backup. This example is to backup a snapshot using tar # mkdir /backups/home.bkup # mount -F UFS -o ro /dev/fssnap/1 /backups/home.bkup # cd /backups/home.bkup # tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 . This one is to back up the raw device using ufsdump # ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rfssnap/1 OK, it looks like we can run a TSM incremental on the block device or an image backup on the raw device. The filesystem in question will contain an Oracle database so most things will chage daily anyway. Has anyone had experiance with this Snap backup functionality? any gotchas? Do you use the normal incremental backups successfully? what about images?
