Re: Restoring RMAN data onto different server
There is a clone functionality in RMAN I think it would be quite easy to get RMAN to restore a database on a different system. the trivky bit is getting TDP to act like the other node I guess you would need to change the dsm.sys node name and rerun the password program. Then it's restore database. Failing that you can always restore the database to an alternate directory on the original system and then copy it over to the other system. Might be a bit hard if it's areally large database. -Original Message- From: Theresa Sarver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday 20 February 2003 23:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Restoring RMAN data onto different server Hi All; Environment: SP Complex (7 nodes) AIX 433 ML10 TSM Server 5162 TSM Clients 415 TDP Oracle 110 Oracle Database (RMAN) 817 The DBA's asked me if they could possibly restore one of their test RMAN (817) databases onto a different node, as I do not know the answer to this question I am deferring to all your experts out there.

Incremental DB backup slow
Hello, I just watched a incremental db backup running. My db is 81 GB in size of which about 70 GB are used. The log is set to rollforward mode and about 7,5 GB in size. At the moment the backup started the log usage was 85% with 37 MB data in the db changed. From the start of the process until the counters in the q proc output increased it took about 10 minutes. The whole process took 20 minutes compared to 60 minutes for a full db backup. I wish it were faster. Has anyone had similar experiences? The backup is going to 3590E tapes via SCSI. The db is on SSA, the log on a internal harddisk. The server is a RS/6000 H70 with AIX 4.3.3, TSM is 5.1.6.2 since this morning. But with 5.1.1.6 it was the same.

Re: FW: TDP SQL Restore Error
Rizwan, This means that some of the data objects needed for the restore cannot be found in the TSM Server database. If the restore worked prior to the migration to tape, the backup must have been good. And so, something must have happened that caused some of those objects to be deleted or corrupted. (for example, a bad tape, etc.) If you are trying to get this process working, I would start with a single stripe backup, let it migrate to tape, and then try the restore. Make sure it works with a single stripe to verify the procedure, then increase the stripes to make sure your setup is correct. If you continue to have problems, please call IBM support. Deleted objects are serious business and indicate that something else is going wrong with your TSM Server.

Re: Need ideas for offsite copy of HSM tapes

If this is a storage hierarchy within the server (diskpool migration to tapepool), backup the diskpool first then backup the tapepool to same copypool. Voila. OK .. but even if I copy the diskpool and tapepool to a copypool, isn't there some client data that never gets migrated to the diskpool? I need a solution that allows me to recover the data if the client machine gets burned up. Will the HSM pools contain all the necessary directory structure information to rebuild the client data? I need to read the manuals some more, but from what I've been told, the answer is No. - management class for HSM client has parameter migrequiresbkup (defaulting to yes). Thus if MIGDESTination of the class and DESTination of the backup copygroup point to different pools - you again can have two copies. Plus the copypool one can be even more. Yes, I can have to copies; the migration copy and the backup copy. But they'll both be in a primary storage pool. True, creating the copy pool gives me even more. But the objective is not to see how MANY copies of the data I can create; it's to see how FEW I can create and still have the ability to completely restore the client from the offsite tapes. - usage of HSM client does not prevent filesystem to be backed up using B/A client. True. But again, we're trying to keep the total number of backups to a minimum. We have to pay for tapes. How afterwards off-site tape management is to be done is just another story solvable in many ways - through DRM, AutoVault, TSMManager, etc. Well, maybe it's just another story; but the answer to that story has a major impact on the first story. EG DRM requires the use of copypools to move tapes offsite. I've been told AutoVault does not, so that's something I need to look at. But that opens up some more questions (aside from the cost, how is reclamation of offsite tapes done, etc) At 7:58 AM -0500 2/23/03, Richard Sims wrote: I would approach it this way: Via dsmmigfs, defined the stub size to be 512 to eliminate leading file data from the stub, to force all files to be eligible for migration.

Performence question on Network and switch w.r.t NFS AIX.
Hi all, I have db volumes on Netapp filer and it is mounted as NFS from AIX point of view.Recently I migrated db volumes to this mount point on 100mbps /sec on its NAS interface. But later migrated to 1GB Network interface ,i.e netapp interface which is also on 1GB interface connected to AIX p server. Now my question is when I have CISCO 4000 Switch in between the observation was found degradation in performance.So I enabled jumbo frames on GB NICard on both sides i.e on AIX as well as on NT side i.e 9000 mtu size .Now futher degradation has taken place which was not tolerable. It was found that CISCO switch mtu size was 1500 and that of both servers it was 9000(jumbo frames). Now my question is: 1.Is it sufficient just to change mtu size on switch or we need to do some tuneing further on switch. As per aix network is concerned I checked up tcp_sendspace , tcp_recvspace so I enabled rfc1323=1. thewall is 1/2 of ram i.e mbuff and I don't see any problem with analysis on netstat-m. sb_max is 475236 which is ok and I don't see any errors on interface. But I would like to know that what else I may be missing??? I need to improve performence but I see that there is degradation in comparision with 100mbps NIC on netapp. Please help me in this matter . Thanks Balanand Pinni

Re: TSM server crashing
It looks like your server is running out of memory. Some of the threads are crashing, and message reading threads can't get started, therefore you are seeing the Message number errors. I had simular problems with this on AIX, when we were doing server to server communications.

Re: ODBC driver for Microsoft : the driver was unable to allocate memory required to support execution
Hello Arnaud, I am the developer who works on the ODBC driver, and I am unfamiliar with this particular problem. Can you please open up a problem with support on this, as it may require an APAR? You can give the support people my name, tell them I said this should go to Level 2, and that they can contact me about this. I don't believe I will need to ask for much information about this, as I should be able to recreate the problem... but I would like to see the problem record opened so we have a vehicle for keeping you informed about the progress of the problem.

licensing costs

Sure it's changed a half million times and Tivoli has been consolidated into IBM but maybe someone knows where it is.

TDP Domino sporadic/chronic error - ACD0200E File (NULL) could not be opened for reading.
We have a TDP-Domino incremental backup schedule on our TSM Server that occasionally produces this message in the client log: Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Domino - Version 1, Release 1, Level 1.0 . . Backing up database mail\WXY12345.nsf, 1 of 1. Full: 0 Read: 0 Written: 0 Rate: 0.00 Kb/Sec Backup of mail\WXY12345.nsf failed. ACD0200E File (NULL) could not be opened for reading. . . This has been occurring sporadically on 3 different Domino Servers. Each server has several hundred active mail databases, all in the same subdirectory, most of which TDP backs up just fine. We see this message on a very small, random subset - typically just 1-3 databases on 1 of the 3 servers on any given night. Sometimes all 3 server backups succeed with no reported errors. The subset of affected databases is somewhat random, except that they always seem to be near (not at) the end of the mail subdirectory. We perform follow-up incremental backups on any that fail, and the follow-up backups always work fine. We haven't been able to correlate occurrences to any client-side or server-side events. Does anyone know what might be causing this, and (hopefully) how to resolve it? -rsvp, thanks Kent Monthei GlaxoSmithKline

Henk - Possibly: You could do a Select search on your Backups or Archives tables for that OBJECT_ID, to identify the filespace object involved, and perhaps via Contents determine what tape volume it is on, then do an Audit Volume Fix=Yes ? Richard, I know which filespace is involved (i.e. the last ANR4391 before the error starts). I try (tomorrow) to find the tape volume. At least it's a good try to give an audit volume a chance. I'm curious: Did you do a CANcel EXPIration or CANcel PRocess ? Actually I did a CANcel PRocess. I tried now a CANcel EXPIration. Guess what? Expiration don't start ALL over, but keeps starting a couple of dozen filespaces BEFORE the one which gives the error. I'll be damned Anyway, you give me some things to try, thanks. I'll let you know about my experience the next days. Cheers, Henk (next days? Don't think so, tomorrow...before we ran out of tape volumes)

It looks like you're trying to check in a single volume. In that case, you'll need to specify the devtype parameter in your checkin command.

Re: licensing costs
I find that even when I ask a 'simple' licensing question if nt VAR (i.e. what is the cost of a NT client license), they are told they must go back to TSM to ensure the configuration for a client license (also delaying any quote I want from 24 to 72 hours ro so). ... So currently, the answer is 'NO' as far as I can tell. I used to have a spread sheet from TSM so when I worked for a TSM VAR, we could do configuration and quoting. You put in the kind of server, options, clients, etc, and it added up the points. ... Depending on the negotiated cost of points, was the cost. Reciently I heard from my VAR, that TSM NT/2K and Novell clients are all now priced on a per processor basis. Where previously on these the client was for up to 4 processors, and after that you went to a different teir of pricing. Now a single processor client cost more than a non-processor specific client did 6 months ago. grumble As much as I like TSM, IMHO, they need to figure out how they want to price it, and publish that mechagnism for everyone to understand. Also, the current pricing structure is pretty bad. Everytime I look at getting a few more clients, it makes me want to re-evaluate using TSM at all from a financial perspective. /grumble -Original Message- From: Gill, Geoffrey L. Subject: licensing costs I am wondering if there is still a link out there that will allow us to figure out licensing costs.

Tape Errors - Help me recover unavailable tapes...
I did a 'q vol acc=unavailable' and found 4 tapes in my little 3583 library. Each tape showed errors, 9, 9, 216, and 1 respectively. Then I did a 'q vol acc=destoyed' and found 2 tapes, with 53 and 0 errors reported respectively. These two tapes show that some files are on them. I really have all the tapes, and all the unavailable ones are in the library. The two destroyed ones were pulled out an marked destroyed out of frustration several weeks ago. Any suggestions on how I should clean this up, an hopefully recover some tapes? Thanks In Advance! ...

The library is set up for autoclean, and has 3 cleaning tapes in it.

Upgrade to TSM 5.1 yet?
I would like to ask the group a question. Do any of you have thoughts about the maturity of the product, as it stands now? My boss is questioning whether we should hold at 4.2.whatever on our four servers, or go ahead and upgrade to the 5.1.x.y available now. My experience has been that it is best to wait until Tivoli/IBM have used enough of us as Beta Testers to ensure a robust product. (They are certainly not the only ones!) Configurations: (1) Server is Sun UE450 running Solaris 8; clients are IRIX 5.3-6.5.18, SunOS 4.something, Solaris 2.5.1-9, RedHat Linux 7.1, Win2K, and NT4.0SP6. (2) Server is Sun UE450 running Solaris 7; clients are IRIX 6.3-6.5.x, Solaris 7-8, Win2K, and NT4.0SP6. (3) Server is Sun UE450 running Solaris 8; clients are IRIX 6.5.x and NT4.0SP6. (4) Server is IBM M-80 running AIX 5L 5.1; clients are IRIX 6.5.x, AIX 5L 5.1, RedHat Linux 7.2, Solaris 7-8, Win2K, and NT4.0SP6. (5) All libraries are IBM 3494, all tape drives are IBM 3590-E1A.

However, I am the owner of MDR Consulting, Inc. and we are an IBM Advanced Business Partner. We resell all of IBM's product lines, but we specialize in storage. If your BP is not getting you clear and accurate quotes within 24 hours than you need to switch to a different BP. We give same day quotes all the time! This of course assumes that the customer has the proper information available for us, i.e. number of processors, do they want or are they required to have the EE (extended edition), will they be using any of the TDP's, etc. I would be glad to offer you any assistance with your SW concerns. In particular converting your old licenses to the new per processor license can be quite confusing. As a BP I believe my job is to protect you the customer from the bureaucracy of IBM. Then of course there is Passport Advantage that you must sign up for in order to purchase SW at the best possible price. I would be glad to explain this whole system to anyone on this list if they like or if there is enough interest I would post to the list an overview of the entire system. In addition, someone posed the question of why IBM charge per processor the question was; Can anyone explain how having more than one processor in a server has anything to do with how much it costs to back it up? IBM assumes that a 2 processor machine manages more data than a single processor, but not as much as a 4 processor machine. It actually works out to be a very simple (and I think fair) method of charging for the product. Also, keep ion mind that if you have a 16 way machine and for some reason you no longer are going to manage it with ITSM you could then transfer those licenses to 4 different 4-way machines or any other combination that totaled 16 processors and this is regardless of the platform type. This is a great improvement over the old system. As I stated before, I would be glad to discuss any of these licensing questions with anyone who would like a clearer explanation. I can be reached toll free in the USA at 866-CALL-MDR (225-5637) or outside the USA at 512-282-6180 (sorry I don't no the US international access code). P.S.
