Re: Backup reporting

[Rainer Wolf]

Hello All,

i have two questions on this:
In our server all and only the backup-data is going through migration pools.
Comparing this size with the
"Amount of backup files, in kilobytes, sent by the client to the server"
this more real (i believe) backup-data-size_counted-by-migration
has a nearly constant difference of about 15-20 % , no matter what time-period
is selected.

for example:
tsm: ADSMAIX>select sum(cast(bytes/1024/1024/1024 as decimal(6,3))) "Total GB
Backup from backup_activity" from summary where start_time>=current_timestamp
-30 day and activity='BACKUP'

Total GB Backup from backup_activity

1928.968

tsm: ADSMAIX>select sum(cast(bytes/1024/1024/1024 as decimal(6,3))) "Total GB
Backup from migration_activity" from summary where start_time>=current_timestamp
-30 day and activity='MIGRATION'

Total GB Backup from migration_activity
---
   1631.496

Question 1 : is it ok to get the datasize of whats being backed up by
the migration ( assuming there is really nothing else doing migration,
like 'move data' ... and accepting that the time_period is slightly shifted )
 or is there another way to get the size of Backup data ?

Question 2: we are using archive writing directly onto tapes, and if using
the summary with activity='ARCHIVE' the output may be also too high.
My idea is to get the amount of archive data by the summary of
activity 'STGPOOL BACKUP' together with entity=... .
Is this ok (accepting some time_shifting ) or is there another
way to get the Numer of bytes being archived , some sql script ?


Thanks for any hint !

Adaptec has an updated driver on their site that works great. The default
driver delivered with Win2k has problems with LTO tape. I haven't seen
reboot problems, but severe throughput issues to where I would only get
1-2GB/hour throughput on the tape drives. Updating to the Adaptec drivers
(even though the Tivoli support pages say to use the IBM drivers) has gotten
me to 1+GB/Minute throughput.

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...

Hi,

I've just installed TSM 5.1.1 on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server (SP2)

The hardware of the TSM server is:

IBM Netfinity X232 8668 (Pentium 4, 1133 MHz)
512 MB RAM
IBM ServeRAID-4LX Ultra 160 controller (SCSI controller of internal disks)
IBM LTO library connected via an Adaptec SCSI controller.

During the setup of TSM and the full backup of a number of clients, the
server has rebooted 6 times. There is no Dr. Watson or what so ever. In the
TSM activity log there are also no errors written. You just retrieve the
latest commands before the shutdown and afterwards the normal startup
messages of TSM.

Only in the event log, there is an event stating 'An unexpected system
shutdown has occured'. No other errors or warnings in the event log.

Has anybody else experienced a similar situation and how did you solve it?

Any input is more then welcome. Thanks,

Kurt

check at which fix are you in v5.1. Maybe you missed it but there is a
problem with summary table not filled. And you have to check why
"sum(summary.bytes)" is more than 0 :-()

Subject:differences in between version 4 and 5 in the SQL database

Hello there friends :-)

This has been buggin me the last week.

There have been some changes in the database since it became version 5

I have a script that shows the total amount of data sent over last night.

the output is like this in version 4.x and 3.x

NODE NAME  DOMAIN PLATFORM
MBYTES  CONECTIONS
-- --  -
--- ---
BAUG_CDB2  REKSTRAR   DB2
12360.93   4
FINGRANDI  REKSTRAR   WinNT
8789.06   3


ok this is what happens when I run the command in version 5.


NODE NAME  DOMAIN PLATFORM
MBYTES  CONECTIONS
-- --  -
--- ---
URDUR  VIDWinNT
1909.65   1
PERLAN VIDWinNT
1446.82   1

there is something wrong with this picture, I have around 40 clients on
this
site and they either don't show up
or they show only one connection to the database, when I know that there
has
been more connections.

this is the script I am using for this task.

select summary.entity as "NODE NAME",
 nodes.domain_name as "DOMAIN",
nodes.platform_name as "PLATFORM",
 cast((cast(sum(summary.bytes) as float) / 1024 / 1024) as
decimal(10,2))
as MBYTES ,
count(*) as "CONECTIONS"

 from summary ,nodes
where summary.entity=nodes.node_name
and summary.activity='BACKUP'
and start_time >current_timestamp - 1 day
group by entity, domain_name, platform_name
order by MBytes desc


here it is again:
select summary.entity as "NODE NAME", nodes.domain_name as "DOMAIN",
nodes.platform_name as "PLATFORM", cast((cast(sum(summary.bytes) as float)
/
1024 / 1024) as decimal(10,2)) as MBYTES , count(*) as "CONECTIONS" from
summary ,nodes where summary.entity=nodes.node_name and
summary.activity='BACKUP' and start_time >current_timestamp - 1 day group
by
entity, domain_name, platform_name order by MBytes desc

Ok I know there are some great SQL guys out there, like Paul Seay and
other
SQL gurus.

Can someone tell me why I am getting this so wrong?

Re: !Urgent - SDLT/TSM slow after upgrade from v. 4.2.1.7 to v. 4 .2.2 .12

[Halvorsen Geirr Gulbrand]

Hi Paul, Gilbert, Dwight (and the rest)!

I'm running on W2K, dual processor, P3 800, 1 GB RAM.
I checked DB Cache hit, and it's 98,27, which should be fine.
This morning DBbackup was fast (as before), but expiration was slow, so I
bumped the BUFPOOLSIZE (x1,5), too see if it helps. I'll be back in my
office on monday, to follow up further.

Thanks for your help (-so far  ;-).

Best Rgds.

We went from 4.2.2.7 to 4.2.2.12, not as large a jump as you and we saw this
problem has well.  Have you checked your db cache hit ratio?  We had to
increase the bufferpool size significantly, we needed to anyway.  It appears
4.2.2.12 is much more sensitive to low db cache hits.  As for database
backups, I think there is a problem there, ours are taking much longer than
before.  I am still trying to isolate the problem.

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.

The problem seems to be solved. There was a service 'IBM Automatic Server Reboot' that 
caused the reboots. It is a known problem at IBM and the problem is fixed in a more

Re: 4.2.x selects from DRIVE table

[Mr. Lindsay Morris]

We saw the same thing.  You have to "select device, device_type, ...", not
just "select device".
Has to do with some database changes made in TSM - not sure what.

Re: LAN-free backup goes SAN, LAN, SAN

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

Paul,

This ought to be like non-Euclidian geometry - Two milleniums
mathmaticians thought there can be only one parallel line and when dropped
this limitation discovered whole new branch in the science :-)
In fact I thought enablelanfree allows client to have conversation with
more than one server - real TSM server and local STA. And management class
bindings direct which route to follow. Now I have to read the fine print
again ,-)
It works fine till now and the result is as I thought it ought to - files
bound to disk class go over LAN and files bound to SAN-tape class go
LAN-free.
I will dig deeper and on success will let you know.
Another question pops up in my head (again on the edge of non-supported :)
- What if I try to use v5.1 client and v4.2.1 storage agent? Have to read
carefully compatibility matrix - v5.1 client is supported with v4.2.1
server, storage agent is same version as the server, nothing said about
what I intend to use ...
Any ideas (Andy?)

Subject:Re: LAN-free backup goes SAN, LAN, SAN

Zlatko,
I am actually surprised you even got this to work.  When you define in
DSM.SYS as LANFREE it has to go directly to tape for everything you are
backing up with that node.  Nothing can go to a disk pool.  So, you have
to
define multiple stanzas in dsm.sys and multiple dsm.opt files.  Now that
you
have multiple nodes you see the sticky wicket.  You can not send the DIRMC
to a disk pool and the data to a tape pool.

We tried what you did and occassionally got what you have seen, but more
often than not, complete failure.

If you find out that there is a way to make it work, I would like to know
how.  I do not remember where the fine print is buried on this
restriction,
but it is a known restriction.

You have to think of LANFREE as sending the data to an alternate TSM
server
on your local machine that shares the library with the TSM Server owning
the
library, but fakes out the fact that the database is on the TSM Server
owning the library.  A node can only form a session with one TSM server at
a
time.  This is why the TDP for SAP R3 supports a parallel session
capability
that can define more than one node so that you can actually send data to
several TSM server addresses simultaneously.  Typically, they are just
multiple adapters on a single TSM server, but they could be multiple TSM
servers.

I hope that makes sense, what I just said.

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).

Re: TSM 5.1.1 Win2000 server reboot

[Halvorsen Geirr Gulbrand]

Hi Kurt.
Sorry I don't have anything further than maybe check if there has been any
ADSMSCSI and ADPU160M errors in the system event log, say the last hour
before the server dies. (Not necessarily right before crash.) Also check if
there are any newer Ultrium Device Drivers from IBM.
In my previous experience with this, I always had som of these errors also.
Another option - tedious and perhaps difficult (haven't tried it myself),
would be to contact Tivoli (or ADSM.ORG ;-)) for help on tracing the TSM
server, to see if there are any special actions taking place, causing the
reboot. I'm thinking it has to do with something in this direction --> Tsm
Server - TSM Device Driver - Adaptec Driver - Ultrium Driver.  If you can do
a trace, you will perhaps be able to se what the last actions are before
serverdown.

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.

Thanks,

Chris,

Failure to connect to the Exchange server has nothing to
do with your INCLUDE/EXCLUDE entries. They are used to
determine what gets backed up after connection to the
Exchange server is made.

Are you using the "/EXCSERVer=servername" option?

where "servername" is the "virtual" Exchange cluster server name
For example, if the Exchange cluster server name is "corwwdsapp04",
you should launch a backup of the "First Storage Group" with:

   TDPEXCC BACKUP "First Storage Group" FULL /EXCSERVER=corwwdsapp04

and launch the GUI with:

   TDPEXCC /EXCSERVER=corwwdsapp04

Thanks,

Del

Re: LAN-free backup goes SAN, LAN, SAN

[Seay, Paul]

Andy,
You may be right about this, but I am betting this is not the case.  The
problem we ran into was that the maxsize was set to a 3GB limit and the
first time a file was hit that was over 3GB the thing puked because it was
trying to go to the next pool which was tape.  The server and the storage
agent would get into a fight over who was going to provide the service and
mount every scratch tape in the library and put them all in the destination
pool empty as privates and read only and get an IO error.

If this fixes this problem, there will be a party in Newport News.  We were
told by support that it was working as designed.  I looked at the APAR in
IBMLINK and there is no sysroute to V4.  Do you happen to know what patch
levels have the problem corrected on Solaris and AIX?

You'll find it at:

The key to finding the code is that PTFs are in the

are in the ../tivoli-storage-management/patches directory structure.

As an addendum to my prior post on this thread, even though it doesn't say

Re: LAN-free backup goes SAN, LAN, SAN

Yes, this is a client problem. The IC33316 APAR was opened against the
client. The problem affects 4.2 and 5.1 (the text has been modified to
mention that 4.2 is also affected). I also read your post too quickly, and
missed the point that this was an AIX client, not Windows. My apologies
for the confusion.

For AIX 4.3, client patch levels 4.2.2.5 and 5.1.1.5 contain the fix for
IC33316.

For Windows, client patch levels 4.2.2.8 and 5.1.1.5 contain the fix for
IC33316 (the README for 4.2.2.8 does not mention IC33316, but the fix is
in there).

Thanks Andy,

you hit the bullseye. IC33316 is the exast problem with one tiny
difference - the longest retention mgmtclass is explicitly defined by
DIRMC option ,-)
The APAR is for ITSM v5.1 only and I cannot find similar one for v4.2. Can
you confirm in which patch it could be fixed for v4.2? Or at least point
which APAR to report to support. I was unable to find it in any of
v4.2.2.8 or above patches. Maybe we have to wait for maintenance 4.2.3.
Upgrade to v5.1 is something I do not want to do right now. Customer is
having very busy schedule implementing new systems, so backups are vital
for the process. Upgrade to v4.2.3 will leave spare move (to 5.1) while
migration to v5.1 will burn the bridges behind us.
I thought this ought to be client-side problem - client decides which
route to follow. IC33316 states it is server problem. Where am I wrong?
Many thanks for your help.

4.2.x selects from DRIVE table

[Jolliff, Dale]

Something odd I noticed this morning about 4.2.x servers on AIX and Solaris
-

"query drive f=d"
and
"select * from drives"

Displays values in the Device field, whereas a

"select device from drives"

displays a blank device field.

This holds for 4.2.1.15 on Solaris and 4.2.2.{patch of the day} on AIX.

I went back to an older server (3.x) on AIX, and a "select device from
drives"  shows the devices, as I expected.

Anyone else able to reproduce this?  Is this WAD or a new 'feature'?

  * is used the device is returned. If select device_type, device
  is used then the device is returned. Or if device_type is part
  of the where predicate then the device is returned.
  With the code/function changes occuring in the code with the
  introdction of the path defintion the device is returned in
  the select statements from the paths table. In TSM 5.1 this will
  be the only table that the device will be in (it is no longer in
  the drive definition).


  LOCAL FIX:
  Us the paths table to find the device if a select statement
  is needed without specifying the device_type.


  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  
  * USERS AFFECTED: All Solaris, HP, AIX and Windows 4.2 TSM *
  * users.   *
  
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DEVICE field does not contain data in   *
  *  the output of a SELECT from the DRIVES  *
  *  table unless the DEVICE_TYPE field is   *
  *  selected either by name or by the use   *
  *  of * to select all fields.  The *
  *  DEVICE_TYPE field does not need to be   *
  *  one of the displayed fields, but it *
  *  does need to be referenced in the   *
  *  SELECT statement for the DEVICE field   *
  *  to contain data.*
  
  * RECOMMENDATION:  *
  
  Make sure to include the DEVICE_TYPE field somewhere in the
  SELECT statment to get the DEVICE field included.  No code
  change is being made for this APAR as in the V5 server the
  DEVICE field is no longer part of the DRIVES table and is only
  available in the PATHS table, and there is a simple
  circumvention to obtain the data in the V4.2 server.

gotta be a bugit's broke in my 4.2.X AIX server, too, but...

select device,device_type from drives

works, and

select device,element from drives

has device blank.  WEIRD.

-drs-

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/19/02 09:13AM >>>
Something odd I noticed this morning about 4.2.x servers on AIX and
Solaris
-

"query drive f=d"
and
"select * from drives"

Displays values in the Device field, whereas a

"select device from drives"

displays a blank device field.

This holds for 4.2.1.15 on Solaris and 4.2.2.{patch of the day} on
AIX.

I went back to an older server (3.x) on AIX, and a "select device from
drives"  shows the devices, as I expected.

Anyone else able to reproduce this?  Is this WAD or a new 'feature'?

Although I don't have a 4.2 machine to look at, I suspect you've run across
the result of introducting the concept of PATH to TSM. The path table
probably contains the device data you're looking for. (The DRIVES table in
5.1 doesn't even have a DEVICE column; it has a DEVICE_NAME column.)

Schedule Question.

[Gent, Chad E.]

Hello All,

NT 4 Client with TSM 4.2.15
Server AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.2.11.14

I have a client with 2 drives; D: and S:. I need everything on the D: drive
to only be backed up on Fridays.  But I need the S: drive to continue doing
a daily backup.  What is the best way to accomplish this scenario?

1. Create a management class with a frequency of 7 and assign this
management class to the entire D: drive.  But if I use this option how do I
assign the entire D: drive to this management class in my client option
file?
Include "D:" PST_MGMT_CLASS

Or

2.  Is there a way to create a schedule on the Server and have that schedule
use a particular option file on the client?

Thanks
Chad

Re: LAN-free backup goes SAN, LAN, SAN

[Andrew Raibeck]

Paul,

Solaris client patch level 4.2.2.7 contains the fix for IC33316. There is
no patch for 5.1 for Solaris.

The APAR will most likely be sysrouted to 4.2 after the fixing PTF (4.2.3)
is available.

As far as your MAXSIZE problem goes, I will try to recreate this
myself but I am hard-pressed to believe that it is WAD. If after
applying the latest patch (and I believe you are pretty current with
server patches, right?) you are still experiencing the problem, you should
reopen the problem with support. If this problem still exists, then an
APAR should be taken, WAD or not, to document the issue.

Andy

Andy,
You may be right about this, but I am betting this is not the case.  The
problem we ran into was that the maxsize was set to a 3GB limit and the
first time a file was hit that was over 3GB the thing puked because it was
trying to go to the next pool which was tape.  The server and the storage
agent would get into a fight over who was going to provide the service and
mount every scratch tape in the library and put them all in the
destination
pool empty as privates and read only and get an IO error.

If this fixes this problem, there will be a party in Newport News.  We
were
told by support that it was working as designed.  I looked at the APAR in
IBMLINK and there is no sysroute to V4.  Do you happen to know what patch
levels have the problem corrected on Solaris and AIX?

You'll find it at:

The key to finding the code is that PTFs are in the

are in the ../tivoli-storage-management/patches directory structure.

As an addendum to my prior post on this thread, even though it doesn't say

I can not say for sure whether this is your problem, but it could be APAR
IC33316. This problem is fixed in patch level 5.1.1.5 (available now), and
will also be available in PTF 4.2.3 (should be available in the

Paul,

This ought to be like non-Euclidian geometry - Two milleniums
mathmaticians thought there can be only one parallel line and when dropped
this limitation discovered whole new branch in the science :-)
In fact I thought enablelanfree allows client to have conversation with
more than one server - real TSM server and local STA. And management class
bindings direct which route to follow. Now I have to read the fine print
again ,-)
It works fine till now and the result is as I thought it ought to - files
bound to disk class go over LAN and files bound to SAN-tape class go
LAN-free.
I will dig deeper and on success will let you know.
Another question pops up in my head (again on the edge of non-supported :)
- What if I try to use v5.1 client and v4.2.1 storage agent? Have to read
carefully compatibility matrix - v5.1 client is supported with v4.2.1
server, storage agent is same version as the server, nothing said about
what I intend to use ...
Any ideas (Andy?)

Subject:Re: LAN-free backup goes SAN, LAN, SAN

Zlatko,
I am actually surprised you even got this to work.  When you define in
DSM.SYS as LANFREE it has to go directly to tape for everything you are
backing up with that node.  Nothing can go to a disk pool.  So, you have
to
define multiple stanzas in dsm.sys and multiple dsm.opt files.  Now that
you
have multiple nodes you see the sticky wicket.  You can not send the DIRMC
to a disk pool and the data to a tape pool.

We tried what you did and occassionally got what you have seen, but more
often than not, complete failure.

If you find out that there is a way to make it work, I would like to know
how.  I do not remember where the fine print is buried on this
restriction,
but it is a known restriction.

You have to think of LANFREE as sending the data to an alternate TSM
server
on your local machine that shares the library with the TSM Server owning
the
library, but fakes out the fact that the database is on the TSM Server
owning the library.  A node can only form a session with one TSM server at
a
time.  This is why the TDP for SAP R3 supports a parallel session
capability
that can define more than one node so that you can actually send data to
several TSM server addresses simultaneously.  Typically, they are just
multiple adapters on a single TSM server, but they could be multiple TSM
servers.

I hope that makes sense, what I just said.

Storage policy: Stgpools use defined volumes and no scratches. Yes, I know

support
in the beginning thought it is AIX server w/ Win client.

The node in question is somewhat mixed - small (<50kB) and large (Nx100MB

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

the

binding WWN and SCSI on NT with QLOGIC

[Jason Livie]

Greetings,

Is there a way to permanently bind a WWN address to a SCIS ID in w2K with a
QLOGIC QLA2200. If so, what is the utility available and the driver version
necessary for this. We are currently using driver version 8.1.5.60 on a
QLA2200 and W2K.

There seems to be a problem whenever the SAN "glitches", the drive
attribution on NT changes from the original setting, therefore our
drivemapping on TSM is no longer valid in our lanfree environment.

Subject: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.

We do little to no archiving, we tested with it in the past, but our

someone has done some archiving, other that what we tested with.

I cannot tell by looking at the filespace, due to the fact that the node is
backed up daily.

How can I tell when this took place?

Select for Scratches

[Lars Bebensee]

Hi folks,

I am not that good with select queries yes, so I will have to ask one of
the SQL gurus here:
we wanted to show how many scratch tapes each library has with a query like
this:

"select a.library_name,count(*) as volumes, b.devtype from libvolumes as a,
devclasses as b where upper(status) like 'SCRATCH%' and a.library_name='$i'
and a.library_name=b.library_name group by a.library_name,b.devtype"

$i will be filled with the name of the library before. The funny thing, it
shows exactly as twice as many scratches. Is there someone amongst you who
can exctract this little monster for me and show me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for helping out

Lars

Re: serverfree - lanfree ?

[Joshua Bassi]

LAN-free backup sends data across the FC SAN.
Serverless backup sends data directly from the storage (ESS or EMC
today) server to the tape drive bypassing the client and only sending
meta-data to the TSM server.

To run either of these backup methodologies I would recommend being on
the latest and greatest versions of the TSM client and server (5.1.1.x).

Re: netware dsmcad sessions hung

Hi Tim,

I have the same problem on NT servers - I started using the

Are you on 4.1.2?
You should go to 4.2.2 - that seems to be more stable as far
as the DSMCAD is concerned.

Re: Select for Scratches

[Slaughter, Bill]

I run something similar every day.

I have 1 devclass per library and the command works fine without duplicating
the count of scratch tapes.

Do you have multiple device classes in the same library? My scratch are not
assigned to a specific device class they are scratch for the entire library.

If you don't require the deviceclass in the output you could simplify:

"select library_name, count(*) as volumes from libvolumes
where upper(status) like 'SCRATCH%' and library_name='$i'
group by library_name"


You could also improve the scratch query by changing

upper(status) like 'SCRATCH%'

to

status='Scratch'

I hope this helps.

Hi folks,

I am not that good with select queries yes, so I will have to ask one of
the SQL gurus here:
we wanted to show how many scratch tapes each library has with a query like
this:

"select a.library_name,count(*) as volumes, b.devtype from libvolumes as a,
devclasses as b where upper(status) like 'SCRATCH%' and a.library_name='$i'
and a.library_name=b.library_name group by a.library_name,b.devtype"

$i will be filled with the name of the library before. The funny thing, it
shows exactly as twice as many scratches. Is there someone amongst you who
can exctract this little monster for me and show me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for helping out

Re: 3584 tape questions

[David Longo]

1.  I have 3584-L32 with FC-AL drives.  Yes I think that time is normal.

It includes mounting and reading label.  The fast mount  you mention
is
the Robot putting tape in drive.  It takes much longer for a tape to
actually be "mounted" as viewed by "q mount" or by "q proesss" and
seeing how long it's waiting for mount.

2.  You have to use "Label Libvol" for each new tape.  I believe the
"label"
is written in header of tape like other tape formats.  Maybe it's in
the
LTO-CM also.  Yes, it is possible to overwrite the tape - though not
likely
in "normal" operations.

David Longo

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/18/02 10:25PM >>>
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.

How to find obsolete filespaces?

[Gerhard Rentschler]

Hi,
filespaces which no longer exist on the node will stay on the server
forever. As they may consume considerable resources on tape and in the
database, we regularly try to find such filespaces and ask the owner whether
they can be deleted or not. We use the field "Last Backup Start date/time"
of "q filespace f=d" or the corresponding field in the filespaces table.
Unfortunately, I learned from responses to a mail earlier this week that
this field is not always updated (for example not by selective backups).
Is there another way to find out obsolete filespaces?
Best regards
Gerhard

Problem deleting filespace SYSTEM OBJECT

I opened a PMR. Level 1 suggested to run the command "cleanup backupgroup"
and retry the delete filespace command. It didn't help. The next advice was
to upgrade to TSM 5.1.1.6 and retry the cleanup backupgroup and del
filespace. The next thing to do would be a dsmserv auditdb. However, this
would take a lot of time with my 55 GB database.

Has anyone else seen this? Level 1 told me that he found only one similar
problem.

Re: Client install on Unix (Also running TDP for Oracle)

[Neil Rasmussen]

Mark,

libApiDS.so is the TSM API library which is also part of the BA Client
package. When you removed the BA Client with 'pkgrm', you also removed the
TSM API library. TDP Oracle has a dependency on the TSM API library to
communicate with the TSM Server. Essentially, the rug was just pulled out
from under Oracle. What needs to be done to fix this is to make sure all
the links are in their proper places. With all Oracle/Rman instances
shutdown (including listener), check that the following links are in
place:

(I will assume 32bit)

$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so -> /usr/lib/libobk.so
/usr/lib/libobk.so -> /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/libobk.so
(Make sure the libobk.so file exists in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin
)


/usr/lib/libApiDS.so -> /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.so
(Make sure the libApiDS.so file exists /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin )

You may want to run the command: # /usr/ccs/bin/what /usr/lib/libApiDS.so
| more

This should tell you that this link is pointing to a valid TSM API and it
will give you the version of the API. Since you upgraded client to 5.1,
the API should have been upgraded as well, and the 'what' command should
reflect this. If you find the TSM API is not installed you can reinstall
the BA Client package and only select the API for that installation. Hope
this helps.

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. Something for me to add to my Honey-Do list..:-)

NAS backups (netapp)

[Chetan H. Ravnikar]

Folks Hi,

I understand NAS backups with NDMP have been talked in general in
this group.

I had a specifics with Netapp filers and their NDMP and wanted to know, if
people had an idea..

I was reading an internal Netapp docuement which was not official yet!
which said

TIVOLI 5.1 w/NDMP certified on filers with Data ONTAP 6.2
and the following support is provided with 5.1

1. local backup from filers to tape drives or libs
   * full & incremental backups and restores
  * library control from server or from file via NDMP
2. Dynamic drive sharing
3. Choice of interface to initate, monitor or cncel backup & restore
operations
  * web client
  * backup archive cmd line client

THe following functions are NOT supported in TSM 5.1 -Tivoli data
protection for NDMP

* filer to filer
* filer to server
* server to filer
* direct access restore (DAR functionality will be added Q1CY 2003)
* linux platform support
* detection of damaaged files
* data-trasnfer operation for NAS data stored by TSM

can somebody comment on these.

Cheers..

Re: How can I tell when an archive was performed?

[Andrew Raibeck]

Try looking at the SUMMARY and/or ARCHIVES table in the database:

   select * from summary where activity='ARCHIVE'

You can also look at the ARCHIVES table, maybe something like this:

   set sqldisplaymode wide
   select date(archive_date) as DATE, time(archive_date) as TIME,
  filespace_name || hl_name || ll_name as "FILE NAME"
  from archives

If you are interested strictly in the date(s), then you could do something
like this:

   select distinct archive_date from archives order by archive_date

If you have the accounting log (...server/bin/dsmaccnt.log) reaching that
far back (and it does not prune itself automatically, so you probably do,
if
you have accounting turned on at all),
then you can awk your way through that looking for the KB-archived field
being non-zero.

Or maybe, from the client, you could just say "q arch..."?

3494 and LAN-free backup

[Eliza Lau]

Hello all,

I am trying to set up LAN-free backup on my TSM 4.2.1.15 AIX server and
Solaris 8 client with no success.
I first added to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt:
   3494shared yes

Restarted the server.

> define server theclient serverpassword= hladdress=x.x.x.x lladdress=1500
> define drivemapping theclient 3494lib tapedrive1 device=/dev/rmt/1st online=yes

But got an error message that says the library is not shared.

dsmadmc > update library 3494lib shared=yes

Define drivemapping now works.

My first question is:  Is the "3494shared yes" option necessary?


The client's management class is set up to backup directly to tape.
We then proceeded to set up the client and all went well.  After the first
test, LAN-free backup didn't work and LAN backup kicked in.  It mounted
the tape 301405 and backed up some files.  Now 301405 is not accessable
on the TSM server. I tried a 'move data 301405' and got an error that
the tape is not accessable.  The tape is in the 3494 libary with access=readw.
I can check it out and check it back in.
It appears that TSM server thinks that 301405 belongs to another server
that it cannot mount.

If you are running LAN-free backups, could you post your client's
dsm.sys, dsm.opt and dsmsta.opt?

server: 4.2.1.15 on AIX 4.3.3
client: 4.2.2.1 on Solaris 8
storage agent : SUN 4.2.1.14

But is almost impossible to say what caused it there can be so mutch.
What kind of applications are running on your TSM Client?
What version, maintenance, fix and patch is the Client you are using?
What kind of configurations are you using in your dsm.opt file?

Hello All;

I have a win2k client that its backup fails and the dsmsvc.exe process
seems to consume  a lot of CPU. 40-50% even when there is no backup running.

I can not kill this process with the "kill -f PID" command or through the
task manager.
Stopping the service would not stop it either.

The dsmerror.log contains the following.

Is anyone using the splitcopy feature of AIX LVM to perform snapshot
backups?
How well does it work for restore and what steps do you take to make sure

If you are using splitcopy do you have a disaster recovery cookbook to
restore from the splitcopy instead of mksysb?

Re: Schedule Question.

[Andrew Raibeck]

The include syntax for your D: drive would be:

   include d:\...\* pst_mgmt_class

But I don't think that this would work very well since there is almost
certainly no guarantee that everything on D: changes every Friday, in
lock-step

A couple of possibilities:

1) Create schedules for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and
Weekend. For the Friday schedule, set the OBJECTS parameter to D: S:. For
the other schedules, set OBJECTS to S: only.

2) Create a single schedule with OBJECTS="D: S:". Then create two Admin
schedules:

- One to issue UPDATE SCHEDULE for the client schedule that sets
OBJECTS="D: S:". Schedule this to run just before the Friday backup.

- One to issue UPDATE SCHEDULE for the client schedule that sets
OBJECTS="S:". Schedule this to run before the Saturday backup.

Re: Linux "No domain available"

[Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU]

If you check the ADSM-L archive (www.adsm.org), this is a common
problem/issue with older TSM clients and RedHat Linux clients that utilize
the EXT3/ReiserFS file system, i.e. V7.

The answer is to upgrade the client to V5.x or add VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT
statements to your DSM.SYS.

Greetings oh Guru's of TSM!

My first linux client complains that there is "No domain available" when I
try to run your basic incremental. The same server domain works fine on
other systems. I looked at the ADSM-L archives and found a clue that Linux
may not have a default domain, so I tried to set it, but I'm still not
having any luck. I have tried a domain statement in both dsm.opt and
dsm.sys
but neither worked. According to the manual, a file specification trumps a
domain statement, and sure enough "dsmc incr / -subdir=yes" works. So it
is
a problem with the client domain. What am I overlooking?

TIA!

Re: IBM quote

[Levinson, Donald A.]

I just got a new quote and it appears that we now buy the product number on
a per-processor basis instead of per-point or tier. For instance to buy the
Data Protection for SQL (oracle) agent for a dual processor Compaq running
Intel I was told to buy two of D510ELL IBM TSM for DBS processor Lic with 10
points each. However I was only told to buy one of D5127LL IBM TSM processor
lic for the TSM client for 1 point. I wish they would settle on one easy to
understand price model and then track it the same way in Passport Advantage
so I could tell what I bought.

Hello All;

I have a win2k client that its backup fails and the dsmsvc.exe process
seems to consume  a lot of CPU. 40-50% even when there is no backup
running.

I can not kill this process with the "kill -f PID" command or through the
task manager.
Stopping the service would not stop it either.

The dsmerror.log contains the following.

Re: TSM Scheduler on WinNT and Win2K

[prasanna S ghanekar]

Hello,

Both Services are set to "Automatic" for startup. It happens invariably on most of the 
Windows NT servers. After Reboot, if you check the event log, it says "Starting 
Scheduler Service" but actually it's not running.

One more observation on Windows NT4.0 with SQL server:

Sometimes, TSM scheduler service starts at the reboot but the one for TDPSQL fails to 
start and nothing is written in the event log.

Regards,

Prasanna Ghanekar

Nope. Per Tivoli, no one there has written anything to take advantage of the

AFAIK, no one at IBM has done likewise.

Volume labels are written at the beginning of each tape. (I think) there is
a reserved area at the beginning at each tape for such information to be

Re: IBM quote

[Coats, Jack]

>From my crude understanding that could be WAY off, is that full retail cost
of a point is about $32USD (and is probably different, so YMMV).  Most
people get a discount of some type if you go through a VAR or have some
other reason (like IBM wants to make a sale).

Basically, points are used as a way to price.  And the discount come rather
than wrangling about components you get for 'free', you wrangle about the
cost
per 'point'.

So everyone must purchase so many points.  Just what you pay for them is up
for discussion.

Just another way to slice the same pie.  Confusing? yep.  But pricing of
most other things is confusing too.

What gripes me is that you enter license by number of this and that you are
license for, and not just here are x points, use them till they are up.
There isn't
even a easy standard way to audit to say 'go buy xxx more points', or 'you
have
x points, y points are consumed, z points are not in current use'

Such is life.

Re: serverfree - lanfree ?

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

Chris,

I try to explain to my customers in the following order:
1. Normal behavior (LAN) is in three steps - Node storage -> TSM Client ->
TSM Server -> Tape
2. LAN-free transfer reduces them to two steps eliminating one by
combining last two in one - Node storage -> TSM Client/Storage agent ->
Tape (last step requires SAN-shared tape)
3. server-free eliminates one more step, skipping both TSM server (as in
LAN-free) and TSM client (new add-on) - Node storage -> SAN-tape
The last "single-step" is accomplished using SAN data mover, i.e. device
on SAN capable to perform data transfer between a disk (Node storage) and
tape (TSM server storage) without any host involvement (neither server nor
client).
Currently supported data movers are IBM SAN Data Gateway (2108-G07 and
same module in IBM 3583) and Pathlight 5000.
Hope this helps to you to understand. This will prove my "customer"
explanation :-)

Subject:serverfree - lanfree ?

Hi All

Can someone please explain the difference between serverfree and lanfree
backup?

My understanding is that LAN free still involves the clients they just
send
their data over the SAN, and Serverfree uses some method to backup without
involving the client.

What software/clients/agents do you need to achieve both of these
solutions?

Working on a big implementation at the moment, including win2000, HSM,
2000
clusters, Exchange clusters new SAN, new storage etc etc etc.  I think you

Re: IBM quote: Points System

[Seay, Paul]

The point system was a relative value for a component residing on a machine
with of 1 of 3 tiers.

Forty Points is a tier 1 NT system, 4 or less CPUs, for Exchange.
The 275 is a mixture of Server and client code I am guessing.

Your quote will make sense if you get the input numbers and the points for
each component.

The nice part is the points system is going away, the bad part is the new
replacement, CPU based, is even more confusing.

necessary for this. We are currently using driver version 8.1.5.60 on a

There seems to be a problem whenever the SAN "glitches", the drive
attribution on NT changes from the original setting, therefore our
drivemapping on TSM is no longer valid in our lanfree environment.

SQL gurus here: we wanted to show how many scratch tapes each library has
with a query like
this:

"select a.library_name,count(*) as volumes, b.devtype from libvolumes as a,
devclasses as b where upper(status) like 'SCRATCH%' and a.library_name='$i'
and a.library_name=b.library_name group by a.library_name,b.devtype"

$i will be filled with the name of the library before. The funny thing, it
shows exactly as twice as many scratches. Is there someone amongst you who
can exctract this little monster for me and show me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for helping out

Lars

Does anyone have a select command that will show me the clients and what
version of TSM they are running?  My TSM servers are running TSM v4.1, 4.2,
and 5.1.

Is it possible to install two different versions of TSM Server on a single server?

[StorageGroupAdmin StorageGroupAdmin]

A part of our DR procedures is that if we lost a given data centre we
would recover the TSM server onto the same hardware as the alternate
site's TSM server and run both instances in parallel  (Both machines are
SUN 450's)

If the TSM servers were at the same release level then we have the
option of using the exact same binaries and simply point them to
different config files.

My problem occurs when one of the server levels is back level. To
prevent this problem from occurring I would like to;

 # find a method that would allow me to install TSM to host specific
directories (ie /site1_tsm/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/... rather than
/opt/tivoli/.)

 # find a method that would allow me install a second TSM package to a
different directory (ie /site2_tsm/server/.) I am guessing that
pkgadd will not like me installing a package on the system that already
has a package of the same name already installed.


Is this possible? An idea or hints would be appreciated

Yes, I have seen this, but I forgot to open a PMR on it.  I guess I need to.

gotta be a bugit's broke in my 4.2.X AIX server, too, but...

select device,device_type from drives

works, and

select device,element from drives

has device blank.  WEIRD.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/19/02 09:13AM >>>
Something odd I noticed this morning about 4.2.x servers on AIX and Solaris
-

"query drive f=d"
and
"select * from drives"

Displays values in the Device field, whereas a

"select device from drives"

displays a blank device field.

This holds for 4.2.1.15 on Solaris and 4.2.2.{patch of the day} on AIX.

I went back to an older server (3.x) on AIX, and a "select device from
drives"  shows the devices, as I expected.

Anyone else able to reproduce this?  Is this WAD or a new 'feature'?

When you say clear it up, AUDIT it or Migrate it to Zero?

Re: Is it possible to install two different versions of TSM Serve r on a single server?

[Seay, Paul]

This is a sore spot with everyone.  Unfortunately, Tivoli did not setup
their installs to support ./ on Solaris.  I am going to make a point of
getting this on the list of the package install changes.  I am not a UNIX
Admin, but this is what they say is the proper way to setup installs in the
Solaris world.
