Re: 32 bit TSM Client for for AIX5.1

2003-01-13 Thread Kai Hintze
If you need a 32 bit API as well you have to go back and use the AIX4.3.3
client. We are using TSM client 4.2.2.1 for AIX4.3.3 on several of our
AIX5.1 servers because we needed the 32bit API. If you can use the 32bit
client with a 64bit API then you can use one of the AIX5.1 clients.

Re: To Collate or Not to Collate?

2003-01-13 Thread Seay, Paul
How many tapes do you have in the tapepool?

Select count(*) from volumes where stgpool_name='TAPEPOOL'

How many drives do you have?

How many mounts are you getting during a stgpool backup?

Do you have maxpr specified on the stgpool backup?

What is the device class mount retention?

Are you using a maximum scratch number for tapepool or are you using private
volumes?

Send a:
q stg tapepool f=d
q devclass [device class] f=d
q stg copypool f=d

Also, run this select to see if you have a lot of private volumes in the
library but not owned by any storage pool.  This happens when a tape is not
labeled.

select volume_name from libvolumes where status='Private' and
libvolumes.volume_name not in (select volume_name from volumes) and
libvolumes.volume_name not in (select volume_name from volhistory where type
in ('BACKUPFULL', 'BACKUPINCR', 'DBSNAPSHOT', 'EXPORT'))

With this information I may be able to help show that the collocation is
maybe not the total culprit.

Re: To Collate or Not to Collate?

2003-01-13 Thread Justin Bleistein
  The following reasons could be why ur tape pool is running too long:

1.) Tape or drive errors so the timeout is being reached, you may want to
lower your tape timeout paramter and check to actlog for media read errors.
2.) Check the actlog for: "volume XXX needed for backup storage pool
process and check the library for those tapes to make sure there in the
library with the AIX command:

  # mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -qI | grep -i tape_number

3.) If the backup storagepool process hasn't ran in a while then it could
be trying to catch up, if that's the case just LET IT RUN. Becareful do not
let MIGRATION RUN during it never.
4.) Are backups running during the backup storage pool process?
5.) Ha something changed in your client environment, maybe there just alot
more data to backup in your client environment now. Maybe an entire EMC
symmetrix, was added, or another database instance was created or something
of that nature.
6.) Are you archiving now when you were just backing up before.
7.) Have the backups been running selective rather then incrementally, this
causes it to run an unecessary amount of time, since it's a FULL dump
essentially.
8.) Is space reclamation running at the same time, maybe the tape drives
are simply not available at that time. View your admin schedule if you have
them setup that way with the following command and see if any admin
schedule could interfere with the backup storage pool process. Ideally only
the backup storage pool process should be running at any one given time:

tsm> q schedule t=a

As far as your scratch tape problem goes, are you collocating offsite tape
copy pools (NO NO) or just primary tape primary pools?

1.) Reclaimation is a good way to get tapes back.
2.) Also you can use the move media command to move data around as well.
3.) Also look at tapes which are offsite like with a "select" statement to
find which tapes have less then like 10% utilization if you get like 40
tapes back which are offsite and which match that query simply delete those
tapes and recall them. Then the next time backup storage pool runs it will
recreate them.

These are just some ideas...

Dwight-

Thank you for the reply.  I did try deleting them, but they are not part
of a storage pool, so they cannot be "deleted" (and there is no "delete
libvolume" command).  I updated a couple of the volumes to scratch, just
as a test.  After updating them, I tried:  "label libvol 
search=yes checkl=barcode checkin=scr overwrite=yes
volrange=,".  However, TSM reports 0 volumes labelled and
exits with "Success".

The only other thing I can think to do is to go to the library and
physically remove them.  Once removed, audit the library to show TSM that
they are no longer in the library. Then, load them back in and check them
in correctly.

Any other ideas?  Thanks.

Re: label/checkin libvolume

2003-01-13 Thread David Longo
Your removing and doing audit is quickest and probably
best way.  Then put them in the Bulk i/o as originally
and use label libvol with "checkin=scratch".  That
will do it.

My aging notes on this indicate that the client uses Ziv Lempel (LZI)
and the 3590 uses a Ziv-Lempel technique called IBMLZ1 - which would seem
to be the same thing, as Dwight says.  Of course, this is all subject to
change at any time without anyone having to tell us.  Naturally, expect
different drive makers to utilize differing algorithms.  YMMV.

I recall being told or reading (a long time ago) that the algorithm used by
3590 tape drives is the same as used by the adsm/tsm client.
Either at the client or at the drive, it is just running data through a
program...
but this would tend to support different possibilities based on what piece
of hardware and how that manufacture/engineer designed things.

Re: Restore performance W2K file-server

2003-01-13 Thread Prather, Wanda
Doesn't the TSM Win client also support image backups for WIn2K now?

We also have seen that the problem on RESTORES is the speed at which NTFS
can create files.
(Consider how long it would take you to drag&drop 800GB of files can't
be any faster than that with TSM.)

If you do an image backup periodically, and incrementals daily, then when
you have to restore you restore the image, then just do point-in-time
incrementals.  Should make the restore MUCH faster for a very large full
disk.

But that's just theory, I haven't gotten around to trying it myself yet...

I'd like to see figures on this. My experience has been that
hardware-based compression is both faster and more efficient than
software-based compression.

Re: Restore performance W2K file-server

2003-01-13 Thread Hokanson, Mark
We purchased a NetAppliance filer and consolidated all of our File servers
to it. The filer has a snapshot utility that makes restores a lot faster and
easier. I believe part of the problem with restoring to NT is that the OS
cannot create the files fast enough to keep up with TSM.

Re: label/checkin libvolume

2003-01-13 Thread Cook, Dwight E
Well, TSM doesn't want to label them while they are PRIVATE and TSM doesn't
really know what is going on...
You might be able to do a del vol against them to get them back to scratch,
then do your label libvol
I believe you can use the volrange if you specify search=yes BUT I'd make
sure and use overwrite=no to be safe.
You might be able to get your label libvol command to run even with them as
private if you used overwrite=yes but I never like using that especially if
I specify a volrange... creates room for errors and your
vols would still be in a private status.
Since you have 220 tapes you need to correct...
if you have excel & a unix box with vi do this...
in excel, in 1,A  stick your initial volser (like AAA001)
then do the little expand down the column and let excel fill
you will notice that excel will increment the numbers :-)
now cut that out of the excel spread sheet and over in a unix window, vi a
file, call it MYMACRO
then go into insert mode and paste all your volsers.
Now go into cursor movement mode and do a
:g/^/s//del vol /
that will stick
del vol
at the front of all your volsers, now save that and call it as a macro from
an  admin session.
takes less than a minute...
Other helpful VI edit commands if you have a list of volsers already in a
file and you wish to do something like build checkin commands...
:g/^/s//checkin libvol mylibrname /
followed by
:g/$/s// checklabel=no status=scratch dev=mydevtype/
and now you just wq the file and call it from an admin session...
you can do checkouts the same way...
hope this helps.

Re: OSX Mac Client Question

2003-01-13 Thread Jim Sporer
Yes, IBM does have a ways to go with the Tivoli Storage Manager client
for Mac OS X. It does work, and the last couple updates have taken care
of very critical problems. The major problem that remains is that the
Scheduler (which is the agent that communicates with the server and
facilitates scheduled backups) is an interactive application and cannot
run in the background. This means that you have to be logged in at the
console as an admin user in order for the Scheduler to work. If this is
the type of machine where there's only one or two admins, and you're
comfortable using something like a screensaver password to protect the
console, then TSM can work quite well. The reason for this issue is
that IBM essentially carbonized the old Mac OS version, keeping the
single user paradigm. The client is being completely rewritten by IBM,
and a version that has a scheduler capable of running as a background
process will be available this year.

Jim Sporer

Hi TSMers

I've just installed the latest client release for a Mac OSX machine. I can
run backups/restores no problem and can run the scheduler manually. When I
run the scheduler as a daemon though, the dsmsched.log file shows that the
daemon contacted the server for the next schedule, but then it says
'Scheduler stopped'. Is this correct? I would expect to see something like
'Schedule will be refreshed in 1 hour'.

Anyone out there have experience with the OSX clients?

few oracle servers and a AIX TSM server

We would like to backup our oracle
databases using rman, tsm, Tivoli Data
Protection for Oracle software and do
lanfree backups. Has anyone done
this type configuration? I am
concern with how luns get assigned

Anyway, I would like to know if someone
has implemented this and how reliable and

TDP for Oracle, tdpoconf, cannot change password ??

2003-01-13 Thread Prather, Wanda
OK, this must be simple, but we can't figure it out.

We have TDP for Oracle NT 2.2 on a WIN2K client.  .
We have been backing up successfully with it for a long time to an AIX TSM
server.

NOW we want to MOVE this client to a new Windows TSM server we are
implementing.

We have changed the TDP dsm.opt file to point to the new TSM server.

But when we run tdpoconf to reset the password on the client to the NEW TSM
server, tdpoconf returns "ANS1025E (RC137) session rejected:  Authentication
failure".

The connection is made to the NEW TSM server, and enough information gets
exchanged that the new server shows the client node as being TDP for Oracle
on NT.  But the message on the (new) server is ANR0424W, session rejected,
incorrect password.

SO we are getting the new TSM server, but can't get the password changed.
We've looked in the registry, and a new key has been created there with the
TSM servername of the new server.

SO WHAT ARE WE MISSING HERE?
Help!?!

Until a fix is available, do not use server-to-server command routing.
Rather, connect to the target server to run the command. This goes for

Re: Whats wrong with this EXCLUDE ?

2003-01-13 Thread Andrew Raibeck
I am assuming you mean NT 4.0 versus 2000 (or higher).

The exclude works for me. Some things to check:

- Double-check your client options set and verify the syntax of the
statement.

- Double-check that this options set is specified for the node
ANR3.VCU.EDU.

- From the client machine run DSMC Q INCLEXCL. What does that show?

- Does putting the exclude directly in the dsm.opt file make any
difference?

The pagefile.sys file is not a "system object" per se, so this wouldn't
fall into a "system object" issue. Also, if this is NT 4.0, system objects
don't apply, anyway.

ACD5130E - Could not initialize the connection to Lotus Domino properly
error=416.

 This is a pretty generic message an indicates either a TDP or Domino
install problem. This server is however backing up without issue and we
have been able to do restores in the past. We did have this same issue once
before on this server and we did a re-install of TDP which appeared to have
corrected this issue until today.

 Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so is it a known problem
with a fix available? I am aware that the TSM client version is no longer
supported and that TDP 1.1 will be unsupported in April of this year.

 Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Two schedules

2003-01-13 Thread Jacque Mergens
This platform is AIX 5.1 ml2
TSM Server 4.2.2 AIX
TSM Client 4.2.3 AIX

This client coexists on the server.

I have tried to implement this by using the following script:

### Begin Script

DSM_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/darc-db
DSM_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/darc-db/dsm.opt
export DSM_DIR DSM_CONFIG

/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad

### End script

My dsm.opt is as follows
servername tsm
domain /opt/datbase

My dsm.sys is as follows
   servername tsm
   commmethod tcpip
   TCPServeraddress   remus
   TCPClientport  1586
   passwordaccess generate
   schedmode  prompted
*   inclexcl   /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/darc-db/inclexcl.txt
   schedlogname   /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/darc-db/dsmsched.log
   errorlogname   /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/darc-db/dsmerror.log
   schedlogretention  2
   errorlogretention  7
   ManagedServicesSchedule WebClient
   Tcpwindowsize  64
*   Tcpbufsize 32
   txnbytelimit   25600
   largecommbuffers   yes
*   resourceutilization 10
nodename darc-db

Although the client comes up alright and the paths to the log files
seem to be working, when I try to contact the server, I come up as 
the original node and cannot get past the initial authorization.

The Tcpclientport doesn't get picked up (even when the 1581 port is 
used...  It goes to 1582) and I can't seem to get the server to talk
with the client.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jacque

You can do this by creating another node, (for the "special" directory), and
create another Client Scheduler, and a new client schedule. Just associate
the new node with the new schedule, and thats it.

Re: Why my library doesn't compress data?

2003-01-13 Thread Cook, Dwight E
OK... TSM will estimate the capacity of a device/media pair based on what
you set with the device class definition and if nothing is specified there,
it will be based on what the ~driver~ reports, THIS IS WHILE A VOLUME IS
FILLING.
Now what is actually shown as the capacity once the volume is FULL is what
has been written to the tape.
What does all of this mean ?
I'd say the 6500MB is close to your stated 7 GB native capacity... if you do
a "q dev f=d" and see "Est/Max Capacity (MB)" as blank, the 6500 is being
provided by the device driver and that is where it is coming from...
Now the 21 GB is an ~estimated at 3/1 compression" and if your full volumes
show only about 12-13 GB that means that either you have uncompressed
cliient that doesn't compress very well OR you have a mixture of compressed
& uncompressed (at the client) client data.
Basically when a tape's EndOfTape marker is reached, TSM assigns a capacity
equal to what it has written to that specific tape.
If you front end things with a diskpool, the amount reported on a tape is
what was read from the disk and put on the tape.
Client compressed data doesn't reduce at the tape drive with tape drive
compression SO if all your client data came into your tsm server as ~client
compressed~, I'd expect the capacity of FULL tapes to  be about 7 GB.
If all your data came in from your clients uncompressed AND it were all
Oracle DB file type data I'd expect your FULL volumes to be about 21-22 GB.
If any of the data is something like a .zip file or other type of already
compressed data outside tsm client compression, it won't compress at the
drive either and that can cause variations in what the capacity is reported
on FULL volumes.

whew, my explanation isn't very pretty but does it clear things up a bit ???

Whats wrong with this EXCLUDE ?

2003-01-13 Thread Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU
Just installed V5.1.5.7 client on an NT machine.

Have the following INCLEXCL in a CLOPTSET that I verified is applied to
this node:

EXCLUDE *:\...\pagefile.sys

Doing the initial backup, I receive the error:

So, why isn't it working ?  I use this same CLOPTSET for lots of W2K and

Could it be since the pagefile.sys is on the E: drive ?   I seem to recall
a problem with an earlier version of the client that had problems with
some systemobjects on other than C: drive that caused heartburn but I
thought it was fixed ?

OSX Mac Client Question

2003-01-13 Thread Farren Minns
Hi TSMers

I've just installed the latest client release for a Mac OSX machine. I can
run backups/restores no problem and can run the scheduler manually. When I
run the scheduler as a daemon though, the dsmsched.log file shows that the
daemon contacted the server for the next schedule, but then it says
'Scheduler stopped'. Is this correct? I would expect to see something like
'Schedule will be refreshed in 1 hour'.

Anyone out there have experience with the OSX clients?

Re: /VAR skipped during incremental

2003-01-13 Thread Cook, Dwight E
Are you sure it skips /var ?
Could it be that /var is just a subdirectory under the filesystem / ?
(and you don't see "~...processing file system /var...~" ? )
I'd also double check the include/exclude list specified in the dsm.sys file
for the tsm server being used.
I'd also check the restart data of the scheduler against the last time the
dsm.sys file or the include/exclude list file was changed... if either of
those files are newer than the last start time of the scheduler, I'd bounce
the scheduler and see what happens.
Not that anyone would ever do this BUT someone might set an include/exclude
list to
exclude /.../*
bounce the scheduler
set the include/exclude list back to normal (to make things ~look~ OK).
(sigh...)
WOW ! gives me an idea...
a daily job that reports to me any clients that have save dates for
those files which are newer than the last bounce date of the scheduler
task...

Re: (logical/physical volumes)

2003-01-13 Thread Cook, Dwight E
What I have noticed over the years (in AIX environments) is that TSM spreads
the load out across its direct access volumes.
Say you have 9 logical volumes across 3 physical and you have 3 inbound
client sessions...
TSM will spread that inbound traffic across 3 of its (locical) volumes.
If you have 3 logical volumes per physical volumes, the inbound work might
be going all to the same physical volume.
So there is a possibility of a slight performance problem by having multiple
logical volumes per physical volume, I say slight because I very rarely see
small numbers of inbound sessions (or activity) on the tsm servers.
If you resize to a 1 logical per physical, you might see a slight increase
in performance...
just my 2 cents worth based on general observations over the past 7 years.

Thanks
again for your help - it's much appreciated. Jeff



In my experience, if the channel does not form, the switch has no way of
knowing these 2 (or more) ports go to the same node.  Therefore, it will
treat them as two (or more) separate nodes since it will see two different
MAC addresses: one on each port.  The IP address assigned to each NIC
should
then be ping-able (asuming all routing/VLANs and such working properly) as
it would as if you were not trying to channel and just had a node with 2
NICs.  The only way I can think of this NOT happening, is if:

(a) mis-config of NIC(s) on node e.g. no IP assigned, administratively
downed

(b) the switch is set to FORCE a channel (done with "CHANNEL-GROUP x MODE
ON" or some variation of depending on switch model...).  In this case, the
switch will be expecting a channel to form, if one does not, connectivity
may not be established.  This can be used to form a channel if the NIC(s)
do
NOT suppport PAgP, or have weak support of, but are still capable of
EtherChannel since no PAgP frames are sent in the "ON" mode.

We had case (b) happen on some Intel NICs we had once.  They supported
EtherChannel, but for some reason PAgP did not work.  When we set the
channel to "ON" (forced) and it worked.  This might be the case with ours.
Hope that helps some!

2nd try : TDP for informix 64 bit : how to expire informix logical logs from TSM DB ?

2003-01-13 Thread PAC Brion Arnaud
Hi *SM'ers 
An old topic to the ones familiar to this list : does anybody have a  nice tip for 
deleting Informix logs from TSM server ? My problem is that we're now using 64 bit 
version of Informix, and that the version of Expire.c utility we used before doesn't 
work anymore. Did anyone succeed in modifying it to have it working for informix 64 
bits, or does anybody know another (new ?) way for getting a rid of those logs ? 
Thanks in advance. 
Arnaud

Re: Reassignment of existing backup filespaces

2003-01-13 Thread Seay, Paul
The best that you can do is a move node data under V5.1 as far as I know.
What you do is get the data in a different primary pool and give them the
primary tapes for those file spaces and a copy of the database.  The node
name does not change in this scenario.  If you need to keep a copy of the
data, then create a copy of the new primary pool in its own copy pool and
once the tapes are removed do a restore volume for each volume in that
primary pool.

This is not much better than what you had before, but it may help.

Subject: Reassignment of existing backup filespaces


Hi TSMers,

I'm in the position of recommending a solution to a sticky problem.

A customer has sold off some infrastructure and applications, and wishes all
backups associated with that infrastructure to go along with the hardware.

Unfortunately, the hardware is running some applications which are not
leaving, but are in-fact being rehosted before the equipment leaves.

*ASSUMING* the data I want to keep is in a particular file system (that is,
no need to worry about sub-filesystem granularity) I can 'export node' the
appropriate filespaces and re-import them under an alternate node name.
Then when the new node has these filespaces, I can delete the original and
give away the media and a copy of the database.

The re-hosted application will then automatically back up to the imported
filespaces under the new host name, and no historical information will be
lost.

The $US10Million question is :-

Can I reassign a file space from NodeX to NodeY without going through the
'export/import' debacle?  There is after all, almost 400 tapes going back I
don't know how many years containing data from some number of terabytes of
IBM ESS storage.

Is there a user-land or 'hidden' command to reassign a filespace from NodeX
to NodeY?

If not, can anyone make a better suggestion on how to do this?

Cheers.
David
