Re: Tivoli Web Admin Secure?

[Zlatko Krastev]

Server web admin interface cannot use directly https, only the web client. 
Although there is a piece of add-on code called "Secure Web Administrator 
Proxy". It is somewhere in your installation CDs. It allows to manage your 
TSM server through some web server. Security between the browser and the 
web proxy server depends on the configuration and easily can be set to use 
https. Connection from web proxy to TSM server is still insecure and for 
security reasons they have to be close.

--> Cache Hit Pct.: 90.08

David already pointed this is not good for performance.

--> Will this affect performance on the system (swap usage or paging)?

You have to verify how your operating system is tuned, how much memory is
available to applications, are there other applications, etc, etc. This
would be a long story how to squeeze the maximum from your box. But few
basic settings may give you 80+ % of the maximum which probably will be
much better than your current state.

--> Yes, DB volumes are on Veritas filesystem

Several people on this list reported performance problems when DB volumes
were on Veritas. Switch to raw devices gave them noticeable increase.
Others are using VxFS with good performance after some tuning. So you have
two options: fine tune your Veritas filesystems or switch to raw devices.
If you search through list archives for "UFS" or "VxFS" you will find
several discussions on this topic.

Session Not Completing

[Lawrie Scott]

Hi All
 
I have 30 Windows 2000 Servers backing up to a Windows TSM 5.1 Server.
One of the servers when scheduled to backup begins its schedule and
backup then just sits doing nothing, it never comes back to the server
with a status and you have to cancel the session manually then it
reports back a ? which is very informative. When you look in the
dsmerror and dsmsched logs there is nothing to indicate an error, other
than the cancelled session.
 
This seems to happen on only this server and we have tried re-installing
the software modifying the dsm.opt file, re-installing the schedule
service with no change. Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Thanx in advance.

Re: TDP for Exchange not working

Del, thank you for the information. Turns out my disk storagepool is
smaller than the database; that's why it went directly to tape. I don't
have much disk space on my TSM server, but it's probably best to send it
right to tape.

Thanks again,

Re: audit volume

[Joshua Bassi]

My understanding of the audit volume process is that it doesn't actually
read the data on the tape.  Instead it reads the checksum information
that TSM puts on the tape periodically.  This bit me once when I was
auditing a disk volume.  The audit volume deleted some files out but
failed to find some files on disk which were in error.

Hope this helps,

How to move datacentres.

[Steve Harris]

Hi all,

I'm moving a couple of apps - SAP/DB2 and an oracle data warehouse - from an RS6000 SP 
cluster on to a couple of brand spankin' new P690s, and at the same time moving to a 
new datacentre. It's just across the road but it might as well be on the moon.

1. The SP cluster has a fast internal network, but only 10MBit external.
2. There is a 3494 connected to the TSM server on both sites. 4 drives on old site and 
2 drives on new
3. The move is time limited.
4. The SP must not be disturbed for 6 weeks after the move just in case we want to go 
back. 

One approach is to back up to TSM, backup the TSM database, remove the tapes needed, 
bring up TSM at the new site and restore. Ok, but complex and messy, and hard to do in 
small chunks (for the test migrations along the way).

Second approach - export node data, and import to new TSM server then restore. 
Export/import operations are single threaded and tape to tape therefore slow.  The sap 
DB alone is 350GB, so I can't make this work in a reasonable timeframe 
(backup/export/transport/import/restore)

Third approach -  detach a drive from TSM.  Run a backup utility on the source machine 
to either stdout or a named pipe depending on the utility, then read from this across 
the SP switch to the TSM node with rsh and from there to tape.  Testing has revealed 
that this will work and be both simple and fast- but, I need a utility that is smart 
enough to recognize end of tape and the 3494 autoloader mode and load the next tape 
automatically.  I've tried the pax and aix backup utilities with no success. 

Can anyone point me at a utility that can do this or suggest a different approach to 
the problem? Also I'd love some real world information on how to set up the 3494 
autoloader mode and use it from AIX, just to be sure that I've got that bit right.

Re: TDP for Exchange not working

[Del Hoobler]

Neil,

An Exchange backup consists of one large object
that contains the database files and the
associated logs.

A few things that would force it directly to tape are:

1.) If there is not enough storage space in the disk
storagepool to contain the entire backup.

2.) If you have a MAXFILESIZE parameter on the
STORAGEPOOL so that backup object that is
larger than a certain size, will go directly
to tape.

3.) A management class that sends the backups
directly to a tape storagepool.

Many customers choose number 2 or 3 above
for large database backups (like Exchange or SQL)
so that their disk pool does not get overloaded
for a single database backup.

Look into the things above to see if they
might be causing this.

Thanks,

Del

Re: TSM skipping some local drives -- solved

[David Wentworth]

Tab,

Thanks. That's exactly what happened. I have it working now that I've given
"System" NTFS permissions.

Dave

At 04:36 PM 11/20/2002 -0600, you wrote:

Dave,

It isn't necessary to run the service as an administrator to access the
local drive.

What usually happens is that the administrator removes the "everyone"
group from NTFS permissions as part of their security setup.  If that is
done, you must add the "system" account from the local SAM back into the
NTFS permissions.  If you're running a domain, you'll have to select the
local security context to see that account.
Once that is done, any service running as Local System can access the
drive / folder / file.

Sias,

You were right. Thanks!

The scheduler service was logging in as "Local System account." I thought
that account automatically had permissions to the file system, but
apparently not. Yesterday I gave the local "System" group full control of
the drive that wasn't backing up and last night the drive got backed up.
It
probably doesn't need full control but I thought I'd try that to start.

Re: TDP for Exchange not working

[Levinson, Donald A.]

I believe the client estimates the size of the backup and if that size
exceeds the available size of the initial pool then it tries the next pool
in the migration path and so on.

Subfile file errors

[Graham Trigge]

TSMers,

I received the following error message in my client's dsmerror.log file
last night which makes little sense - has anyone seen this before:

 "11/21/2002 00:11:12 Invalid subfile recognition token encountered in
transaction. Resending transaction using full file backup".

If I look at the file which was being backed up at this time, it is an 8mb
zip file and has ** Unsuccessful ** at the end of the entry. Does this mean
the file was not
backed up successfully at all, or just not successfully using subfile
backup? I will be monitoring this backup tonight to see if it is a one off
problem, or the file
itself is corrupt somehow.

Regards,

Re: Database Questions

Your Cache Hit pct is too low, needs to be closer to 99%.
I would increase bufpoolsize to 131072, that's 128K and will show
as 32,768 Buffer pool pages.  That should get you close or there and
eliminate the Cache Wait Pct - normally that's zero!

Expiration will be most obvious speed improvement.

Re: TSM skipping some local drives -- solved

[Tab Trepagnier]

Dave,

It isn't necessary to run the service as an administrator to access the
local drive.

What usually happens is that the administrator removes the "everyone"
group from NTFS permissions as part of their security setup.  If that is
done, you must add the "system" account from the local SAM back into the
NTFS permissions.  If you're running a domain, you'll have to select the
local security context to see that account.
Once that is done, any service running as Local System can access the
drive / folder / file.

Sias,

You were right. Thanks!

The scheduler service was logging in as "Local System account." I thought
that account automatically had permissions to the file system, but
apparently not. Yesterday I gave the local "System" group full control of
the drive that wasn't backing up and last night the drive got backed up.
It
probably doesn't need full control but I thought I'd try that to start.

Re: Server rejected session; result code: 52

[Manuel Schweiger]

Shekhar,

Normaly that should not happen when you use passwordaccess generate.
Try to reset the client password in the admin webinterface. If this still
does not work delete the tsm.pwd file (should be locate in /tsg/tsm/security
directory as you set it up).
Then the client should ask you to reenter the password in any case.
Happens to me from time to time on novell clients.

I'm not sure whether 'two TSM clients' means two sets of client code
at different levels, or two instances of the scheduler process running
the same code. I have set up the latter type of arrangement on HP-UX
systems, and I would expect the same method to work on other types of
Unix systems. I created a second server stanza in dsm.sys. This
consisted of a second servername statement followed by a second set
of option statements. I then started one of the scheduler processes
using the command line:

/usr/bin/dsmc -servername=SYST sched >/dev/null 2>&1

Actually, there are 2 speeds to be concerned with.

Data transfer from the host to the 3590 controller.
SCSI, depends on length and type of connection (34 was the top
on SCSI E1A).
40 MB/sec on FC E1A advertised, but I have seen higher (FC)
70 MB/sec on FC H1A advertised (FC)

Then, compression voodoo happens so less physical bytes are written to
tape.

Data transfer from the 3590 controller to the tape (referred to as "at
the head").
9 MB/sec on B models
14.1 MB/Sec on E models

The H1A drive is a 50% capacity increase over the E1A drive.

DriveNative capacity   Extended Length Cartridge Capacity
3590-B1A 10GB  20GB
3590-E1A 20GB  40GB
3590-H1A 30GB  60GB

These numbers are without hardware compression. I believe throughput of
15MB/SEC applies to all 3590 drives thus far.

The worst part is they bring used parts.  They have had to go back &
pickup the same part again because the replacement parts have been BAD a

Martina,
  I'm surprised to hear you are having 'lots' of hardware problems with
3590 drives. Do you have a maintenance agreement and have you called
support when you are experiencing problems?  You should!
  We have a 3494 library with 6 3590-E1A drives in it. These drives are
work-horses. We have had two service calls this year. But, you must
remember we are backing up 2700+ nodes, are using 700+ extended length
cartridges and keep those drives moving data around the clock.
  As for performance, I have seen transfer rates of 70GB an hour. This
is on tape to tape copies of storage pools (You won't see that when
migrating disk to tape.).
  The bottom line is that the 3590 is industrial strength! But, I must
admit having no experience with the B drive.

Re: Backup verification scripts

[Stephen E. Bacher]

>Is anyone using some sort of script to verify their backups by a byte total?
>I've got scripts to monitor events and the dsmerror and act logs but still
>miss files.

Some time ago we designed a Bourne shell script to do backup/restore
verification for Unix systems, using a verification machine with a like
release of the TSM client, plus a shared scratch directory that the
verification machine can restore into, which can also be accessed from
the local machine being validated.

The comparison is effected by doing a find -ls command on both the
local filesystem being validated and the restored filesystem and
also by generating and comparing checksums for files that match
in size, attributes and path.

The basic logical outline is something like this:

# adsm-verify-backup userhost:/foo/bar (when running on verification host)
#
# or
#
# adsm-verify-backup /foo/bar  (when running on target host)
#
# This script does one of two things, depending on which machine it is
# running on:
#
# If it is running on the TSM verification host, then it does a restore
# of the requested filesystem from the named node.
#
# If it is running on the target host, then it does a backup of the
# requested filesystem on that node.
#
# If on local host:
#
#  * set access for verification host to be able to restore from a
#file tree on the local host
#  * do incremental backup with incrbydate option
#
# * have user run the script on the verification host at this point
#
# If on verification host:
#
#  * do restore into special local directory
#
#  * collect checksum info for all non-directories in the tree

The code has numerous private dependencies, so I would rather not
post it, but if you are interested you may email me.

sure if this is dsmcutil.exe or dsm.exe) and the tsmutil1.dll file. Check
the modification dates for these files, and see if the timestamps match.
I'll guess that tsmutil1.dll is older. Note: tsmutil1.dll is located in
the c:\winnt\system32 directory. If those timestamps match, then search
your drives as Bill suggests.

I would uninstall the client, reboot, then search for any/all occurances
of the TSMUTIL1.DLL. If you find any...DELETE 'em!

Then re-install the client.

Re: dsmadmc with options

Add another server stanza in dsm.opt:
servername other
tcpserveraddress other.dns.name.or.ip
then you can say

Re: dsmadmc with options

You can launch dsmadmc with the -tcpserveraddress and -tcpport settings to
point to a different server, i.e.:

   dsmadmc -tcps=server2
   dsmadmc -tcps=server2 -tcpp=1510

etc.

The H1A drive is a 50% capacity increase over the E1A drive.

3590-B1A 10GB  20GB
3590-E1A 20GB  40GB

These numbers are without hardware compression. I believe throughput of

Martina,
  I'm surprised to hear you are having 'lots' of hardware problems with 3590
drives. Do you have a maintenance agreement and have you called support when
you are experiencing problems?  You should!
  We have a 3494 library with 6 3590-E1A drives in it. These drives are
work-horses. We have had two service calls this year. But, you must remember
we are backing up 2700+ nodes, are using 700+ extended length cartridges and
keep those drives moving data around the clock.
  As for performance, I have seen transfer rates of 70GB an hour. This is on
tape to tape copies of storage pools (You won't see that when migrating disk
to tape.).
  The bottom line is that the 3590 is industrial strength! But, I must admit
having no experience with the B drive.

Re: TDP for Exchange not working

Neil,

This sounds like your backups are being directed to tape.
You need to indictate that you are willing to wait
for tape mounts.  Try this command:

   TDPEXCC SET MOUNTWait=Yes

Then issue

   TDPEXCC QUERY TDP

to make sure the setting is set to YES.

At that point, retry the backup.
If it still fails with the same message,
then you will need to look closer at your
TSM Server to make sure there are tapes
assigned and available to the storagepool that
these backups will be directed to.

Thanks,

Re: TSM skipping some local drives -- solved

Sias,

You were right. Thanks!

The scheduler service was logging in as "Local System account." I thought
that account automatically had permissions to the file system, but
apparently not. Yesterday I gave the local "System" group full control of
the drive that wasn't backing up and last night the drive got backed up. It
probably doesn't need full control but I thought I'd try that to start.

Since you are able to backup the local drive manually but not
via the schedul.

I would check the permission for the schedule service to see if
it have the proper permission to access the local drive.

I had a simular issue about a year ago. It turn out that the
scheduler service did not have the proper permission to access
the local drive. I just gave the scheduler
service "administrator" rights and that worked for me.

Re: Storage Pool Volume Use/Order

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

AFAIK volumes are used in round-robin. Only if they are of different sizes
small ones can filled and not be used lowering the parallelism.

Subject:Storage Pool Volume Use/Order


I was told that TSM uses storage pool volumes in the order they are
defined.  I was wondering if that is true, and if there is any way to
verify it?  When I query the storage pool volumes, or use select with no
ordering, they come out in sorted order, not defined order.  Since this
is a new server, I could redefine the storage pool volumes with sorted
names in the order I want them used, but if behine the scenes it is
using them in defined order, that would be fine the way they are.
Thanks for any info

Re: Poor Performance

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

my knowledge in Cisco devices also is very far from expert level I so 
consulted with a colleague. His answer was the same - there is no Cisco 
device to mess with your TCP stream. You can have a switch (at OSI layer 
2) which deals with Ethernet frames, a router forwarding IP packets or L3 
switch looking inside Ethernet frames and switching IP packets (at OSI 
layer 3), some application (HTTP) load-balancers acting as application 
proxies which multiplex requests to several hosts (at OSI layer 7).
You do not have a TSM connection from port 1500 or to port 1500 on Cisco 
device. You can have a configuration:

HostA <--> (1 or more) Cisco <--> HostB

The traffic through these Cisco devices is either Ethernet frames or IP 
packets. Only HostA and HostB assemble IP packets into TCP stream and only 
their TCP-window sizes affect the connection. Cisco in the middle can drop 
frames, drop or fragment IP packets and thus reduce throughput but cannot 
interfere with TCP stream.

Re: tape-to-tape performance

[Seay, Paul]

The storage pool backup that you are doing could be directly affected by the
database performance.  Is this 1.6TB a lot of small files?

On the IO configuration side, how are your tape drives connected, SCSI or
FC?  I suspect SCSI.  If you have more than 2 drives, on a SCSI adapter that
is the problem.  If they are E-model they really should be 2 per adapter to
get descent performance.

On a FC scenario you can go up to 4 drives per FC adapter and have very good
performance.  I have gone has high as 8 per FC adapter, but performance does
suffer then.

If you are using FC, make sure your FC tape and disk are not on the same
adapters on a TSM server.  Other applications it is fine, but not this one.

If your TSM database is on slow disk that will slow down the copies.  It has
to create a lot of updates to the database to copy the storage pools.

dsmc and NFS

[Luke Dahl]

Hi All,
A few questions pertaining to nfs mounts and using both scheduled
backups as well as dsmc incrementals.  When using  ./dsmc -incr
/var/backup/20021120/FullBackup_a.log where the file is on an nfs
mounted partition do I need to worry about adding the domain /all-nfs
parameter?  I would think if I'm specifying the file I needn't worry
about it.  It would seem like it only pertains to the scheduled
backups.  Correct?
Is it possible to run two TSM clients on Solaris (2.8) with them
each having a scheduler daemon running?  If so, I'd appreciate any
information on it!

We had this happen to us also. A Win-something server worked fine until
the TSM client software was upgraded. The E: drive stopped getting backed

upgraded IE and the problem went away.

I can get more details from our Win/NT admin if you want.

We tend to get 90 % compression for a lot of our Oracle data.  So 10 GB may

Novell bare-metal restore

[John Schneider]

Greetings,
   I have a customer with a unique challenge.  Maybe it's not, but it
seems to be to me because I am not a Novell guy.  They are considering
implementing TSM in their environment to back up a bunch of Novell
servers that are out in remote plants with real slow links, like 256KBs.
The servers have sometimes 300-600MB of changed data a night.  With
decent compression, we may be able to back them up overnight, since they
would permit 5pm to 8am as the acceptable backup window.
   The challenge is when one server is replaced, either because it dies
or is replaced with new hardware.  The Novell servers have about 40GB of
disk space, so there is no way they could restore across the slow link.
Our thinking is to restore the server to a server at the central
location where the TSM server is, so the restore could be accomplished
more quickly, then ship the restored server down to the remote site.  My
customer's Novell guy says this won't work, because of the way Novell
trees work.  You can't restore the Novell server at the central site
because it won't be part of the Novell tree(?!), and all the file
permissions and ownerships will be wrong.
   Can somebody tell me what resources I should read to understand how
to do this, or can share with me your methodology to do a bare-metal
restore of a Novell server?  I figure that surely by now a method has
been derived.
   Thanks in advance,

John Schneider

Error 52 isn't a password prob. It looks like TSM server didn't respond
fast enough to the client and the session was rejected. Try increasing your

time...aka backups. and the TSM Server is overloaded.

I experienced some problems with the B1A drives also, but we caused some
of
our own problems.
We were running them 23 out of 24 hours every day.
We cured the problem by going to the E1A and adding more tape drives.

The different between the drives is the B1A are 128 track, the E1A are 256
track and the H1A are 384 track drives.
You gain one third capacity for every increment you go up on your drives.

We current have a total of 30 E1A tape drives between the open systems
backup and the MVS systems native drives.
Average at the most maybe two calls per year on the same drive different
problems never the same.
We still have a high percentage use per day.

Hi,

We are working with a 3494 IBM silo with 4  drives - 3590 type B -  which
is connected to a RS/6000. As we are having lots of  hardware problems
with
these drives we think about changing them to 3590 drives type E.
Does anyone have experience with this type of tape drive ? I`m mainly
interested in a kind of comparison concerning performance and availibility
between the both types B -> E.

Thanks a lot

I would look at the number of running scheduled sessions at that time. The
message is pointing at a server action (server rejected session), so try the
actlog.

Re: Activity Log

[Kent Monthei]

We keep ActLogRetention, EventRetention and SummaryRetention at 37 days.
Reason:  we generate some monthly reports from those tables.  That gives
us a 6-7 day window to generate the reports, plus extra time to regenerate
them if something is amiss, and to allow for long weekends, vacations,
holidays, sick leave

There  are alternatives - one good recent suggestion was to create an
admin schedule to frequently redirect/append the latest output of a 'q
actlog' (e.g. hourly, using begintime=-1 enditme=now) to an external file.
 Then you can shorten ActLogRetention substantially if you need to.

Re: Switching Collocation on/off

[Robert L. Rippy]

If collocation is on now, then each tape belongs to a specific server. If
you turn it off, then TSM gets the least filling volume first to put data
on even if the data belongs to another server. Makes for more efficient use
of the tapes but then you could have data from multiple servers on one
volume. Could result in many mounts for a restore of a server. If you turn
collocation back on, then TSM will use those volumes and make them belong
to the last server that had data wrote to them I believe. Then when those
volumes get full, it starts with new volumes for each server that it needs
and keeps only that servers data on that volume. The tapes that have
multiple servers on them do not get moved to other tapes unless you perform
a move data on them or move them back to the disk storage pool and then
migrate back to tape. Then TSM will collocate properly again.

Thanks,
Robert Rippy

I have collocation switched on our onsite tapepool at the moment, what are
the effects of switching this setting on and off.

I'm guessing that when switched off the volumes that are 'filling' will be
eventually used to 100%?

What will be the effects of then switching collocation back on?  Will new
volumes only then be used in the library for new backups?
Is data from past backups (from un-collocated backups) moved onto new
tapes or are only new backups set to collocate?

Switching Collocation on/off

[Marc Lowers]

I have collocation switched on our onsite tapepool at the moment, what are
the effects of switching this setting on and off.

I'm guessing that when switched off the volumes that are 'filling' will be
eventually used to 100%?

What will be the effects of then switching collocation back on?  Will new
volumes only then be used in the library for new backups?
Is data from past backups (from un-collocated backups) moved onto new
tapes or are only new backups set to collocate?


Marc.

If you're concerned about your activity log eating up too much space in your

days.

Well, you expand the duration of the activity log by issuing command "Set

Re: Activity Log

The "actlog" is another table in the TSM DB.  Do a "q status" and
"Activity Log Retention Period" will show how many days you are
keeping.  I would keep a minimum of 7 days, I keep 30 days.  It can
be very useful in tracking down problems.

To change use "set actlogretention".

Re: How do you back up 2 PB of data?

[Paul Zarnowski]

ADIC has some pretty high-end libraries.  Their AML/2 library claims a top
capacity of over 5PB, 400 drives, and over 7,600 pieces of media.  It
supports around 20 different media types.  When SAIT comes out, that
capacity would likely go up significantly higher.

At 05:51 PM 11/19/2002 +, Dan Foster wrote:

Hot Diggety! Orville Lantto was rumored to have written:

Aye, in terms of tape capacity. However, if you have a requirement that
it finish an entire full backup in a single day -- say, 20 hours...and
you get between 15-30 MB/sec for HW compressed writes with the LTO drives.

So we pick a common number that's actually sustainable in real life: 22.5
MB/sec.

22.5 MB/sec * 72,000 seconds (20 hrs) * 72 drives * 6 libraries =

683,438 TB, or about 32.6% of 2 PB. Therefore you need 3 times the
original number of 6 libraries, and that's assuming you can keep up
this rate constantly for every single second of 20 hours.

18 fully decked out 3584 libraries would be something to behold, I think ;)
That'd span 106 frames and 1,296 LTO drives. A single full backup would
run about $18M (list price) worth of tapes in that kind of configuration.
I'd like to work for a place that can afford it! Even after deep
discounting, that's still $8-10M worth of tapes.

Re: Offsite tape challenge

[Kauffman, Tom]

I ship between 8 and 12 LTO tapes off-site every weekday morning. Once a
week we generate a pull list of all off-site tapes in pending or empty
status and have them (plust the oldest week's TSM database backups) brought
back. This runs to about 40 tapes coming back.

I do daily reclaims of some of the off-site tape pools; others are archive
pools with a 21 day retention. These I just let die the death and come back
after the 21 days.

My courier is part of our help-desk staff (a former mainframe computer
operator), so we don't need to do the 'sealed box' bit.

And our off-site storage is the company hanger at the local airport, about
11 miles away.

As of now, I show 95 tapes off-site; 19 are ready to come back (or serve as
initial scratch pool at D/R).

The process works. We've done a number of successful D/R tests and haven't
run into missing/unavailable files in the last three years.

Re: Collocation & Compression considerations for a 1TB Oracle Data Warehouse

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

--> Q1 - We are considering whether to set TSM Client Compression=Yes ...

I've installed client with node compression for a customer with 600+ GB
Oracle DB backed up off-line. The node was p660-6M1 and result was 10-11
MB/s uncompressed >> 3-4 MB/s compressed per thread/per processor
(RS64-IV@750MHz). Thus you might be unable to stream compressed data for
best drive performance. Have in mind after node compression your 10 GB
files will shrink to approx. 4GB and diskpool might be sufficient (I would
recommend at least to double it). Consider few things:
- we already had a problem with nearly full diskpool: for most of the
sessions TSM allocates in the pool full file size and after transaction
end reservation is reduced. Last sessions see a lot of space allocated,
assume their file will not fit and go down the storage hierarchy.
- each thread uses only one processor for compression (or it looked to me
in this way). To achieve higher performance you need more sessions but
more diskpool space.

--> Q4 - If we set Collocation=Filespace, can we limit the number of tapes
used

you can use maxscratch to limit the number of tapes and dynamically
change/increase it. However this would not prevent multiple mounts caused
by collocation=filespace. The few-nodes approach might be better for
DLT/LTO. Have also in mind diskpool to tape migration relieves data
scatering in part.

--> Q5 - Does backup of 10GB files to a local tape device via Shared Memory
require special performance tuning?

I would say no and in our case TCP/IP and loopback interface were more
than enough.

--> What else should we do ...

You can do many things and solve the puzzle in many ways. We used diskpool
big enough to fit the whole backup after node compression. After the
backup data is migrated to DLT and worked fine. This might not be possible
in your case.

Subject:Collocation & Compression considerations for a 1TB Oracle Data 
Warehouse


We need to perform scheduled full/cold backups of a 1TB Oracle database on
a Sun Enterprise 1 (E10K) server running Solaris 8 and TSM
Server/Client v5.1.  The server has a local 30-slot tape library with 4
SCSI DLT7000 drives, and a 32GB diskpool.  TSM Shared Memory protocol and
both "SELFTUNE..." settings are enabled.  The Oracle database is comprised
of very large files (most are 10GB) across 20 filesystem mountpoints (RAID
1+0).

We defined 1 TSM Client node with ResourceUtilization=10, collocation
disabled, compression disabled and the DevClass Format=DLT35C (DLT7000,
hardware compression enabled).  The Backup CopyGroup is directed to a
Primary TapePool.  The DiskPool is 30GB, but is not used for the Oracle DB
backup because of the huge filesizes.

GOOD - During the first backup we saw 4 active data sessions and 4 mounted
tapes at all times.  The backup used all 4 drives 100% of the time, and
because of hardware compression ultimately used only 4 tapes.

NOT SO GOOD - The backup took approx 18.5 hours, which translates to about
13.5
GB/hour per tape drive.  We expected to achieve 25GB/hour per drive (based
on prior performance with TSM 3.7 on the same hardware).

BAD - portions of every filespace (possibly even portions of each 10GB
file?)
were scattered across all 4 tapes

BAD - a subsequent 'BACKUP STGPOOL  ' had to
decompress
then recompress all 1TB of data, & took longer than the backup

BAD - a subsequent Disaster Recovery test took 30 hours - we couldn't find
any 'dsmc' command-line syntax to initiate a multi-threaded restore for
multiple filespaces.   We had to initiate filespace restores individually
and sequentially to avoid tape contention problems (i.e., strong
likelihood of concurrent threads or processes requesting data from
different locations on the same 4 tapes at the same time)

We cannot backup to DiskPool and let Migration manage tape drive
utilization, because the individual files are so large (10GB) that they
would almost immediately flood the 30GB DiskPool.

Q1 - We are considering whether to set TSM Client Compression=Yes and use
DevClass Format=DLT35 (instead of DLT35C) to solve the
decompress/recompress problem.  However, there will then be 4 TSM Client
processes performing cpu-intensive data compression plus the TSM Server
process, all running concurrently on one server.  Will that be too
processor-intensive, & could the server deliver data fast enough to keep
all 4 drives streaming?

Q2 -  We are also considering whether to set Collocation=Filespace to
permit multiple concurrent restores with minimal tape contention. Wouldn't
that use 20 or more tapes during a backup instead of just 4, and wouldn't
we overrun our library's 30-slot limit just doing the 1st backup, 1st
'BACKUP STGPOOL  ' and 1st 'Backup DB' ?

Q3 - How can we boost p

Re: Offsite tape challenge

[Zlatko Krastev/ACIT]

BTW: you are having an exposure with this bring-back + back-offsite. While
the "box" is onsite you have no off-site copies and are vulnerable to
disaster.
TSM is made to handle off-site copies without any need to bring them
on-site before new copy is send out. Look again through your procedures.

get timeouts on these cards and they both show Receive Overruns when
this happens. If anyone has an answer on how best to setup these cards I
would be really grateful as, I have tried just about everything and the
only thing I can get to work is by reducing max sessions to 40 and
increasing the network card setting for receiving to the max of 768,
also running only one card the other one has been removed.

If it is within the same domain, you might have trouble.
You also didn't state whether you were running

Keep in mind there is the "/FROMEXCSERVER=servername"
option to allow TDP for Exchange to query/restore the
backups from a different server. The issue becomes
more of what the Exchange Server will allow.

Please refer to the documentation in the User's Guide

Re: Offsite tape challenge

[Ray Baughman]

We take the tapes out of the library and set the access to Offsite and the
location to "Vault".  Access of Offsite prevents TSM from trying to mount
the tape, and location is a free form text field, so we just call it Vault
as the tapes our stored onsite in a Vault.  Once a week we take tapes
offsite, and bring tapes back.  When tapes go offsite the location is
changed to "Offsite".  We use Korn Shell scripts to handle all this, on AIX.
If you'd like more information on how we do all this, let me know offline.
