Re: Weird Managedservices problem
I see no answer to this so will try to answer (if you didn't solved it but workaround). How dsmcad works: Client Acceptor Daemon is intended to be thinner than dsmc with small memory footprint. Upon startup it starts to listen on ports for services it manages (similar to what inetd daemon does for ftp, telnet, etc.). When request is accepted on particular port dsmcad starts the corresponding service. By default it accepts connections only for Web client (on port 1581). If set in dsm.sys/dsm.opt it will also manage the scheduler and *might* listen to port 1501. The latter is controlled by the schedmode used - if server-prompted the client (i.e. dsmcad) will listen to port 1501, if client-polling the client will poll the server for schedules on port 1500 (1501 will not be used). -- no dsmc sched process running, but dsmcad was still running When schedules are controlled by CAD dsmc is never fired with sched parameter. When schedule is run you will see normal dsmc objects options launched by dsmcad. When there is no active schedule only dsmcad will be active. -- netstat shows a process listening on port 1581, nothing on 1500 Nether dsmc sched nor dsmcad will listen on port 1500. Using defaults only server listens to this port. Scheduler in prompted mode will listen on port 1501 and in polling mode will not listen on any port. The latter is the behavior you see on the working client. -- there is an attempt by the server to connect on 1501 ... A real problem! I think the server still assumes the client is in prompted mode and attempts to contact it (on port 1501) to start a schedule. However the client is unable to contact the server (for some reason - the root of the problem !!) and inform it now polling mode will be used. Verify the configuration of the client and options/environment used to start dsmcad. Is the client able to run schedules when dsmc sched is used? If not there might be expired password problem. If yes I would bet dsmc and dsmcad are started using different configuration files or environment variables.

Recently we changed over to run managedservices schedule and webclient. Backups have been running fine. Suddenly, 2002-10-27 the daily incremental was running, but hung after processing / filesystem. There are no NFS mounts on this box. Nothing in dsmsched.log or dsmerror.log or dsmwebcl.log. When I got to this there was no dsmc sched process running, but dsmcad was still running. Stopping and restarting dsmcad makes no difference. If I take schedule out of the managedservices paramater in dsm.sys, I can run dsmc sched and all works perfectly. Put it back and restart dsmcad and schedules won't start. dsmwebcl.log shows 31-10-2002 09:49:48 (dsmcad) Client Acceptor - Built Feb 25 2002 14:38:58 31-10-2002 09:49:48 (dsmcad) Version 4, Release 2, Level 1.28 31-10-2002 09:49:48 (dsmcad) (C) Copyright IBM Corporation, 1990, 2001, All Rights Reserved. 31-10-2002 09:49:48 (dsmcad) Dsmcad is working in Webclient Schedule mode. 31-10-2002 09:49:48 (dsmcad) ANS3000I HTTP communications available on port 1581. 31-10-2002 09:49:48 (dsmcad) Command will be executed in 1 minute. Web client works fine. TCPPort is specified as 1500, HTTPport is left to default netstat shows a process listening on port 1581, nothing on 1500, and this is the same as another machine which does work correctly. Snooping the interface on the client that works, we see when dsmcad starts, a connection is made from client to server from a high numbered port to 1500 on the server. A scheduled backup then seems to connect to this port Snooping on the client that fails, there is an attempt by the server to connect on 1501, but this is rejected as the client isn't listening on 1501. Does anyone have any debugging ideas?

Re: delete seperate filespace
You can exclude the files and on next backup the active version will become inactive. Further handling will be through verdreto settings in the copygroup. If you need immediate removal from the server storage the procedure is more tricky: - define special mgmtclass with vere=1, verd=rete=reto=1 - bind the files through include to the special mgmtclass - backup the files once to re-bind the versions - exclude files - run expiration The special class settings will rule immeduate expiration.

TDP for Informix - management classes
Dear All, Can someone with experience of TDP for Informix advise on an effective strategy for expiring old backups. I see that the logical logs at least are backed up with a unique name each night (perhaps someone could confirm if level 0 backups have unique names too or if the same name is used each time). I know how to associate a management class with the backups (database and logical logs) and I understand that onbar does not have a facility to ask TSM to delete old backups. So what is the strategy for deleting old backups? Say I wanted to be sure I could restore any backup in the last week. Of course I could send logical logs to a tape pool and delete tapes older than 7 days. But this would be a very clumsy way of tackling the matter. So how is this being done in practice please? It's surprising the TDP for Informix Installation and User's Guide doesn't discuss this. Or have I missed a really useful readme somewhere? My TDP for Informix is 4.1.3 and my TSM server is at 4.1.6. Thanks team, Eric Winters
Permanent retention
Hi, I would like to seek advise on how to use TSM to keep my information permanent. Before the application, execute the end-of-day processing, a set of database will be dump. After the end-of-day processing, there is another dump to database which will overwrite the previous. I need to keep both set for a retention of 7 years. Any advise ?

Réf. : Upgrade ADSM 3.1 to TSM 4.2
Thanks a lot for your informations, but there is still en question about this upgrade. On my site, i have 2 servers, one in 3.1 , the other in 4.2. The question is : how do i do to migrate all my clients ADSM on the server 4.2. The two servers are operationnals. If i migrate à client to TSM4.2, how do i do to restaure or retreive data which have been saved in ADSM 3.1? Sincerlys Dennis Glover [EMAIL PROTECTED] le 29/11/2002 16:46:51 Pour :Eric Languille/production/A-S@ELISA cc : Objet : Upgrade ADSM 3.1 to TSM 4.2 Sir, I have performed the upgrade path you ask about in two environments, and there was no problem in either case. Your documentation will describe an upgrade installation, including such important matters as ensuring you have copies of the volume usage and primary storage pool definitions files. I would very strongly suggest that you download the latest patch or maintenance release of the TSM server and client software before you begin! With some servers and clients you will find that the fully- qualified path name to the server and/or client software will have changed. Please note that and make any required changes in your dsm.opt and/or dsm.sys files. Also, when you upgrade your environment, please ensure the TSM server(s) are the first systems you do. That is because the 4.2 server will back up all previous releases of the client, including ADSM 3.1, but an ADSM 3.1 server is not guaranteed to back up a TSM 4.2 client. If you are using certain tape libraries/drives, such as the IBM 3494 library with the IBM 3590 drives, please ensure you have the latest microcode installed to those devices. Otherwise, your backups will almost certainly fail as soon as the new server software is installed. If I understand your question properly, I think you are asking if there are any special steps, such as export and import of backup data as part of the migration. That is not at all a necessary step! Simply upgrade your server, and then upgrade your clients, and the process is complete. Good luck! Dennis Glover
