Re: filespace no longer backed up because mount or drive is gone
Matt, this can be achieved with export. All active and inactive versions will have to be exported and on import relative dates have to be used.

Re: Large NT file cause log to fill-up?
I was wondering if it is possible for the backups of the onsite tape pool to a copy pool to have the ability to cause the recovery log to fill if it is copying a 200+ GB file? The file is a collection of event logs from WIN servers. Every day it is writing one very large file (I've noticed it gets to almost 300GB), and then when I am doing a tape to tape copy my log fills at a tremendous rate. My log is in normal mode. I have TSM server 4.1.3 on os/390. Lately I have also been running expiration at the same time and of course I am doing other backups of tape pools and other administrative jobs. Could my log just be filling up because it is running expiration, reclamation, etc. at the same time? Thanks in advance for any advice you might have You are running into a phenomenon called log pinning. The nominally occupied region of the recovery log is bounded by head and tail pointers. The head pointer moves forward as new transactions are started. The tail pointer moves forward when the oldest existing transaction ends. Both pointers wrap around to the beginning of the log when they reach the end of the log. When the copying of the huge file is going on there will be one or more log entries relating to that operation just ahead of the tail pointer. There will be a huge area filled with log entries for transactions that have started and ended since the copying of the huge file started. There will be a small area just behind the head pointer containing log entries for the remaining pending transactions and possibly some entries for recently ended transactions. That huge area in the middle is considered to be occupied log space. When the copying of the huge file ends the tail pointer will advance to the end of the area containing recent transactions and the utilization will drop suddenly. The other activities running concurrently with the copying of the huge file are generating the transactions that keep moving the head pointer forward. Expiration is probably the biggest generator of transactions.

Starting/stopping Tivoli Storage Manager for OS/400 PASE - 5.1
I have figured out how to start Tivoli Storage Manager for OS/400 PASE - 5.1 from a CL program on my iSeries (AS/400). This will be useful after we do an IPL and other tasks in a restricted state on our machine. Another time I plan on using this is when we stop TSM to do certain system backups. The question now becomes how do I stop TSM from running in an unattended mode? In other words there will be no one on site to click on certain browser sessions, nor enter commands. I want to stop TSM from a CL, (or maybe RPGLE) program. Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: TSM having trouble backing up Netware 6 Client
You should be able to back up your NW6 box with existing levels of code (although I'm unclear about your references to NSN when you state that you have TSM Server 4.2.1.9 Support (because of testing platforms) probably doesn't want to pursue the issue on the 4.2 server but it should still be under support. Did they give you a concrete reason for upgrading the server code to 5.x? Given that, we're using 4.1.4.3 code and backing up Netware 5 and 6 servers (even clusters) with no major problems. I'd check for the latest tsa nlm's (Netware's TSAUP11 I believe) and get the 5.1.5.6 client.

But right now you're in a jam - you've got to extend your log, but you cannot because it is as large as it can be (13gb). Call Tivoli support. Then shrink your log back down to 12gb, so you can do an emergency log extention on the next Dark and Stormy Night. I no longer run in rollforward mode, but when I did I found that the idea was to prevent TRIGGERED FULL BACKUPS, at all cost. The issue here is that if you set the backuptrigger too high, the log will fill up while a full backup is underway. If you set it too low, you'll be running more incremental backups than you need to, wasting tapes, and working your way towards a full backup that much faster. My best strategy for doing this was, once a week, do a Scheduled Incremental Backup to empty the log, so it would last for the longer duration of a full backup, and then several hours later, do a Scheduled Full Backup. Then after that completes, let it do Triggered Incremental Backups again. Another strategy would be to watch the incremental counter, and when it is about to do a full backup next time, lower the trigger. Then raise it again after the full backup. What we really need here is two trigger levels - one for when the next backup will be incremental, and another for when the next backup will be full; you'd simply set the fulldbbackuptrigger lower than the incrementaldbbackuptrigger to achieve much safer operation. The underlying problem with rollforward mode and triggered backups is that inevitably it will pop the trigger and decide it wants to do a database backup at the worst possible time, like when you really need all your tape drives for migration. Murphy's Law is at work here. This will leave you with a Hobson's Choice between a full Log, or a full Disk Storage Pool - a dilema that can be very easily avoided by planning and scheduling. It is for this reason that, even though it sounds like a good idea, I have stopped running in rollforward mode. Normal mode makes it a lot easier to plan and schedule, especially with a large and growing database. (Yes, I mirror my database.)

As nice as rollforward can be, I have yet to see anyone actually make use of its utility.

Possible values are: Completed Specifies that the scheduled event has been completed. Missed Specifies that the scheduled startup window for this event has passed and the schedule has not begun. Failed Specifies that the client reports a failure in executing the scheduled operation and successive retries have not succeeded. Started Specifies that the event has begun processing. Restarted Specifies that the client has retried processing the scheduled operation. Severed Specifies that the communications with the client is severed before the event can complete. Future Specifies that the beginning of the startup window for the event is in the future. Pending Specifies that the QUERY EVENT command was issued during the startup window for the event, but processing the scheduled operation has not yet begun. Uncertain Specifies that the state of the event cannot be determined. The server specifies Uncertain if the QUERY EVENT command does not find an event record. An event record will not be found if the record was deleted or if the server was unavailable during the scheduled startup window (the schedule was never started). Records with Uncertain status do not reside in the database. If you do not want these records to be displayed, either specify EXCEPTIONSONLY=YES or delete the schedule if it is no longer needed. Note: When a scheduled operation is processing without having been restarted, within its specified duration, the Status field shows Started. If the operation continues beyond the specified duration, no event record is created. If a query is issued after the specified duration has passed, the Status shows as Failed even if the operation is still running. After the operation completes, an event record is created, and a subsequent query shows the result in the Status field.

Re: Archive errors
Geoff, I would agree I don't think there is a tie to the Archive but perhaps some insight to possible Journaling issues if you still have them?? We have similar pipe messages along with a message == NpPeek: Nodata logged in the dsmerror file daily. Unfortunately no message number so nothing to look up to even get a clue as to what it means. The timestamp is during our production backup window so I'm assuming that it's tied to the pipe messages and that they are tied to the Journal. Getting ready to start client upgrades. After that if we continue to see the same messages its Support Center time. Of course none of this has anything to do with helping your problem!

Re: upgrade to TSM 5.1 from TSM 4.1
The cleanup backupgroups is a new command that isn't around until V4.2.2.X. It specifically cleans up issues with Win2K system objects and TSM's failure to properly expire them. It has been pointed out to me that it isn't required if you don't have the Win2K system object problem. This is true, however, it doesn't hurt to run it. If there is nothing to clean up then it will only run for a few minutes or even less. I did miss the fact that this e-mail was asking how to go from V4.1 to V5.1 and not from V4.2. If you have never been at V4.2 then I don't believe you need to run the cleanup. If you never backed up Win2K system objects then you don't have to run the cleanup.

Re: Over extended log
I've successfully used roll-forward, and I never *yes, never* extend the log to its fullest, so I will be able to do an emergency extend. I guess that's the most important consideration-- leaving yourself someplace to go. Not using roll-forward is a gothca in an environment where archive-deletes are done. If you do an archive-delete and the server goes down and you need to get it back-- you'll only be able to go as far as the last dbbackup-- and your archived files are gone (database has no record of them) and they are deleted on the client box (it didn't go back in time).

Then shrink your log back down to 12gb, so you can do an emergency log extention on the next Dark and Stormy Night. I was once an Advocate for rollforward log mode, because I liked the idea of being able to restore a TSM system to the moment of failure. However, after dealing with more than a few customers' systems that came down hard because the log filled to capacity, I have ceased all hostility in this advocacy war. As nice as rollforward can be, I have yet to see anyone actually make use of its utility. I now set all customers' logs to normal mode, and I make sure that all db volumes are hardware mirrored on separate disks.

Re: Backup to client local media?
From: Levinson, Donald A. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Does anyone know of a way to have TSM backup to client local media instead of the server? This would be similar to Legato's Storage Node. I have a SQL server that is on the other side of a T1 and has about 7GB of data in addition to about 9GB of files. It has a Dat DDS-3 drive and I don't want to have to buy a complete tape library and TSM server to protect it. I'd rather keep the backup management centralized. TSM doesn't support backups to local client media. However, an alternative solution is a real-time replication app like DoubleTake. You can replicate desired files across your T1 to a box that is already a TSM client, and then backup the replicant. I'm a big fan of DoubleTake. Email me offline if you're interested. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Binding Backup Data to new Mgmt Class
We have created a new domain, policy set, mngt classes and Stgpools for existing Backup Clients to be a part of a domain that consists of backup clients that are tested at an off-site DR Facility. We did an upd node to the existing nodes to the new dom and the backups are going to the new stgpools. There is still data in the stgpools that these systems use to back up to. We are wondering how can we get all the preexisting data to the new storage pools so that when a restore takes place it only looks at the new stgpools that the clients have been backing up to. We looked at export node (TSM Serv 4.1.5) but do not remember the existing domain and storage pools that the systems use to be on as this change was many weeks ago. . If we were to set the new copy groups to do an Absolute backup would a restore go to the new stgpool or the old? Any ideas would be great!!! Thanks

TDP for SAP will rewind and dismount the tape if you do not have a mount point hold time on the device class. So, if you have it set to zero, you will need to increase it a to maybe 2 minutes. We use 5. When running multiple sessions (multiple tape drives). It gets more fuzzy. I can discuss this offline with you. And, SAN storage agents create another wicket. Paul D.

Archive with delete question
Quick question: Sometimes when we run the command archive /somedir/somefile* -delete=yes, we have seen 2 different behaviors: - We see that it archives 1 file then deletes it, archives the next file, deletes it, etc. - We see that it archives a bunch of files before it starts deleting files. Kind of in batches of files. I know I've seen both behaviors, but I'm not sure why. Is it .. - interactive dsmc command as opposed to a cron job? - different versions of TSM? - different OSes? - a TSM client setting I'm not familiar with? I have looked through the manuals and found nothing, so I thought I'd bounce it off the group before I started to delve into testing to see where and when I see the different behaviors. We are looking for more consistent behavior from the command to keep busy filesystems from filling up. Thanks, Ben Bullock Unix administrator Micron Technology Inc.

Re: MediaW
My storage pools filled up causing by backups to go into a mediaw state waiting for a tape drive to free up. My tape drives were busy migrating data to free space in my storage pools.

I would believe this would be due to file sizes and the fact that TSM uses aggregates, where a lot of little files will be bunched together.

We are using ADSM server v 3.1, on an AIX 4.3.3 machine. We are planning to upgrade very soon, so please don;t comment about that. We also have an IBM 3575 L18 tape library (180 tapes, 2 drives), which we are also upgrading soon. Our current library is very full, and I changed a few policies a few days ago and now the server is stuck in a loop, unable to reclaim any space in the tape library. I'll try to outline what's happened: 1) We have a few different policies, and I changed them by first changing the standard policy set, and then activated that new standard policy set. The policy change was going to delete a lot of backup items, which it did during the next automatic expiration. 2) I also had improperly set the destination storage pool for the policies to ITG-DISK, which is our storage pool disks. Realizing my mistake this morning, I just changed the destination storage pool to ITG-TAPE, which is the correct setting. ITG-TAPE is our 3575 tape library. That is the correct destination. 3) But as of right now, I'm getting errors when I try to do the following: 3.1) Delete a filespace: ANR0984I Process 501 for DELETE FILESPACE started in the BACKGROUND at 09:32:42. ANR0800I DELETE FILESPACE: \\zworykin\c$ for node ZWORYKIN.ITG.UIUC.EDU started as process 501. ANR0802I Delete Filespace \\zworykin\c$ (backup/archive data) for node ZWORYKIN.ITG.UIUC.EDU started.

The Messages book doesn't say mcuh about what is wrong, other than to look at the logs, which I am, and it doesn;t say why I can't delete a filespace. 3.2) Migrate data from one tape (which happens to have 98% reclaimable space on it) back into the storage pool ITG-TAPE: ANR0984I Process 497 for SPACE RECLAMATION started in the BACKGROUND at 09:20:46.

Re: TSM for Oracle
I have configured RMAN and TDP for oracle 8.1.7 - and its working great
without any problem - Requires good knowledge of oracle .
i.e. Creating catalog database -tablespace user in oracle etc... if you
don't know oracle then it is difficult - ask help from your DBA , once
you setup oracle part then second step is configure
tdpo.option file - relink - write backup script --
f2n17 /d01/app/oracle cat bkdb.sh
. /d01/app/oracle/.tdp.ora
rman target / rcvcat rman/rman cmdfile /d01/app/oracle/bkdb.scr msglog
/tmp/bkdb.log
f2n17 /d01/app/oracle cat bkdb.scr
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';
backup
filesperset 4
format 'df_%t_%s_%p'
(database);
release channel t1;
}
f2n17 /d01/app/oracle ./bkdb.sh
f2n17 /d01/app/oracle
Done .. where is complexity?
BTW : Does any one know if oracle 9.2.0.1.0 is supported with TDP 2.2.1 ?

Fuller (651) 236-4043 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/06/03 03:54PM I have some tapes that are getting read errors, and I'm trying to find a graceful way to get out of the mess. One example is a tape that has 2 files on it, according to Q CONTENT MOVE DATA for that tape fails, because it can't be read. We have (or think we have) offsite copies of our backup tapes. So I thought I might be able to recover the files from an offsite copy. To find which offsite tape(s) I would need, I tried restore v 000345 p=y I got messages ANR0984I Process 622 for RESTORE VOLUME (PREVIEW) started in the BACKGROUND at 09:28:00. ANR1233I Restore preview of volumes in primary storage pool BACKUPONSITE started as process 622. ANR2110I RESTORE VOLUME started as process 622. ANR1235I Restore process 622 ended for volumes in storage pool BACKUPONSITE. ANR0985I Process 622 for RESTORE VOLUME (PREVIEW) running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 09:28:00. ANR1241I Restore preview of volumes in primary storage pool BACKUPONSITE has ended. Files Restored: 0, Bytes Restored: 0. ANR1256W Volume 000345 contains files that could not be restored. I assume that means the files didn't get copied to the backup pool before the tape got flaky. At this point, I guess I have to assume those backups are toast. If they are inactive versions, I can shrug and say I hope they never want to restore the old versions. But, as far as I can tell, there is no way to tell whether a backup on a specific tape is active or inactive. If that's true, I need to assume they might be active and get new backups of them. If I just delete the volume, with discarddata=yes, and the backups are active versions, will that force TSM to realize it no longer has an active backup of those files, and back them up again the next time the node is backed up? -- Matt Simpson -- OS/390 Support 219 McVey Hall -- (859) 257-2900 x300 University Of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mainframe -- An obsolete device still used by thousands of obsolete companies serving billions of obsolete customers and making huge obsolete profits for their obsolete shareholders.

Rebinding the management class on one point-in-time version
Hello All, We have a client who did a backup about a week ago of some databases. At the time, they used their normal backup include/exclude list and management classes. Now they would like to save this backup indefinitely. Is there any way to do this, short of restoring these versions someplace then archiving them using an appropriate management class? Is there any way to rebind the management class for just this one backup version? We looked at creating a backup set, but this option apparently only creates a backup set for the active version of files and these are no longer active since they were backed up a week ago. Thanks!

Re: Need advice on dealing with unreadable tape
Ah. Yes, if it gave you the ANR1256W message, it knows that there are files on the primary tape that are not on a copy pool tape, and therefore can't be restored. That's not surprising - could be there was a problem reading the 2 bad files at the time it was trying to create the copy pool copy. And you are correct, if you purge the DB entries for the bad files, TSM will back them up on the next go around, assuming they still exist on the client. -Original Message- From: Matt Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 5:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Need advice on dealing with unreadable tape At 5:11 PM -0500 2/6/03, Prather, Wanda wrote: Well, if RESTORE VOLUME says there is nothing to restore, and q content says there is, one of them is lying!

Try AUDIT VOLUME 000345 If it says the two files can't be read, then run AUDIT VOLUME 000356 fix=yes That should purge the bad DB entries and free up the tape. OK, thanks.

TSM copygroup settings
Our organization would like to be able to have 30 days of backups to restore to on production servers. I had my versions data exists at 30 but I cut it back down due to tape storage restraints. I have a DBA that says he needs to have Versions data deleted at 10 due to considerations he has with his AIX-SP2 system. I have a request to up my settings back to 30 but I was wondering if there is a way I can optimize these settings and still get management what they want.

Re: Move nodedata (removing a filespace from a copy pool)
Yes, but it is ugly. Move the filespace to a new primary pool temporarily, or permanently if you like. Create a new Copy storage pool and run a backup storage pool command of the original storage pool command. The delete the old copy storage pool (you have to delete all the volumes in that copy storage pool). Rename the new copy storage pool to the old copy storage pool if you like. Done. I would like move nodedata to work on copy storage pools, but the way the bitfile objects are architected this would be very difficult to provide. What we need is some functionality to setup permanent backup storage pool excludes and a delete filespace xxx copypool= The excludes prevent stuff we do not need copied from being copied to a copy pool. The delete allows us to get rid of what we do not want to keep. Paul D.
