more than one backupset on one tape?

[TSM]

Hello,

how can we consolidate many backupsets to one tape?

we have to checkout these backupsets for disaster recovery weekly, because
the demand is to have the possibility
to recover every node without tsm db in worst case (we have over 200 nodes
and lto2 drives !!)

there is a server to server connection available, on both sides many drives

is this feature planned in future tsm versions?

Thanks for your help.

with best regards

Active Directory Problems

[Jacques Butcher]

Hi Everyone.

I've restore the system volume (c:) and all system objects
(of which I have a consistent backup of) successfully.  I
can access Active Directory and see all resources.  I can
even see all the resources from another machine through a
UNC path.  It even prompts me for a username and and
password.  I type the domain name\username and the password
and I can see all printers, etc.

I however cannot log onto or join the domain.

Did anyone else get this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

When you installed Windows on the machine.
Did you installed Windows in a Temp directory and then restore all data
from TSM?
Or did you installed Windows in there standard path and overwrite each file
with TSM?

If you did the last thing. I can understand way you got that problem. That
is becuse you got a new SID and et c.
Try to install Windows in a Temp Path and restore the data from TSM to
there normal PATH. Reboot the server and boot up in Restore Directory
Service mode and restore the System Object. Reboot the server again and
remove the temp Windows installation.

Now should it work fine.
To do this much easyer. Buy a Disaster Recovery tool. Talk to IBM and they
should give you some advice. Or can you download your own eval. copy from

Re: Does ITSM Windows Client run on Windows 2000 NAS Operating System?

[Zlatko Krastev]

Actually it will work - that is what IBM is doing on their NAS devices
(they come with TSM client built-in). But you have to be aware of the fact
that the vendors do not like some other software to be installed there.
You may end up with a configuration unsupported by HP!

Hi Stefan!
I have also read that.
But I have never get a Domain Controller to work if I work after the TSM
Documentation.
If you read the documentation from Veritas and Legato. They say. When the
server is a Domain Controller in Windows 2000 you should install a TEMP
installation of your Windows 2000 Server. And restore the system on there
normal path.
When the system is up and runing. You should remove your temp installation.
But if got a member server to a Windows 2000 Domain. Then should it work
normaly.

(of which I have a consistent backup of) successfully.  I

Re: AW: Active Directory Problems

[Jacques Butcher]

I've performed the initial installation of Windows 2000 to
the original directory.  I.e. I'm restoring the original
Windows 2000 over my initial installation.

I'm trying to convince the customer to purchase CBMR.  He
however want't to see ITSM work natively before he decides
to purchase more hardware/software for it.  If I can prove
this works he will look at options to optimize his DR
strategy.

The specific error message I get on Win98 is "No domain
server could be found to validate your password" (may not
be specifically that but everyone knows the message).  On
Windows 2000 I get a DNS related error although DNS seems
to be working fine.

I will try the following;
1. Install W2K into a temp directory
2. Restores OS files (to original directory)
3. Reboot into AD restore mode
4. Restore system objects

One other thing I should mention is that I'm restoring a
W2K server (FSMO mater) that forms part of a 3 way
replication partnership.  Will this cause trouble?

Re: Active Directory Problems

[Zlatko Krastev]

Christian,

I am under impression that your posts become more and more misleading over 
time! Is this because I read them selectively or for any other reason - 
don't know. I would be rather happy to be proved wrong!!!
Also advertizement within any advice is against the principles of the 
community on this forum. Please perform your marketing activities 
privately or using a different media


Back to the topic - the problem Jacques is experiencing:
The standard Win2k recovery procedure is:
1. Install clean Windows - I install it on the *same* path and it works 
fine
2. Install TSM client - personally I prefer instead of configuring it to 
restore dsm.opt and restart the client
3. Restore *all program files* - if some application is installed on a 
drive other than C:, its binaries is better to be restores right now
4. Ignore restart message
5. Restore System State (System Object in TSM terms) and reboot.
6. (only for the only/first domain controller in DR) Make the restored AD 
data "authoritative". You will need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5.

The trick is to avoid joining to the domain at step 1 Keep the system 
as being part of some imaginary workgroup (better with a name which is not 
known to the domain controller/master NetBIOS browser).
In step 5 all information regarding membership to the domain will be 
restored and after reboot the server will be part of the domain. Think of 
sequence failure-reinstall-restore-reboot as of an ordinary 
shutdown-reboot with longer downtime!

Re: ANR9999D bfcreate.c(1906)

[Henrik Wahlstedt]

Hello,

I coulnt find any usefull on my search, even if the problem is mentioned
before.
Do you have clue why this happens?


07/09/2003 19:31:20  ANRD bfcreate.c(1918): ThreadId<60>
Destination
  switched from DIRECTORYPOOL to BACKUPPOOL2 in the
middle
  of  a transaction.
07/09/2003 19:31:20  ANR0530W Transaction failed for session 2106 for
node
  STO-SQL10 (WinNT) - internal server error
detected.

Both stgpools are on disk.

The problem started after my TSM server upgrade from 4.1.3.0 to 5.1.7.0
Two of 20 NT4 servers, 3.1.0.8,  have this problem.

TIA
Henrik

Polling or prompted?

[Tim Smith]

Hi

Just wanted to check...  I guess the best way of being sure that a schedule
runs within a certain time window is to set the duration on the server and
have the client set to "prompted".  Is there any way to do this with the
polling method?  Or if I use polling, does the client simply contact the
server every XX hours?

Thanks!

Henrik - I believe this occurred because your server upgrade finally put the
 server "out of the reach" of the antiquated client.
As IBM says, they support only recent mixes of client and server
version/releases, with anything outside that span being untested and
"unsupported".  You can only keep an old client version around for so long.

It struck my mind, client versions...

If I dont use DIRMC in  my opt-file, the scheduled backup runs fine.

Tivoli might have an interresting article about this but I´m locked out

Re: Active Directory Problems

[Jacques Butcher]

Hi Cristian.

Thanks for your replies.  It's really nice to have people
trying to help you solve your problems on this forum.  I
will make an effort to spend more time on this forum trying
to help other people where I can.

Back to the topic;
I have followed the exact same procedure that you described
and is it seems as if everything is working.  The only
problem is now to join the domain and to log onto the
domain from a workstation.

I have logged a call with Microsoft and will see what they
come up with.

I however have another question for you.  I notices that
the FSMO master server that I'm restoring is not a Global
Catalog server (it is the infrastructure master).  I read
some microsoft article that mentions something that a
Global Catalog server is needed for authentication.  Would
this be my problem and is there a way around it?

In polling mode the client contacts the server every X number of

You can define X with the QUERYSCHedperiod parameter in

Client:  W2K or Win2003 server running Microsoft.net  - B/A client version
5.1.5.9 or 5.1.6.0

Has anyone else experienced problems backing up some files located in the
directory C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\...\CONFIG\   on systems
running Microsoft.Net?

The files are semi-permanent cached files that NTFS permissions do not
adhere.  In other words, you can't look at the permissions of the file.
>From what I've been told, MS's "unofficial" position is that the \config
directory does not need to be backed up.  However, some of our developers
feel that there are some files in that directory that are essential in the
case of a bare metal recovery.TSM returns a code of rc=12 and reports
the backup as failed.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and their thoughts
on it.

Hi,

no, there is no way to manually edit the contents of the TSM databse.

Loading DR tapes into an automated library

[Michael Swinhoe]

Hi,
 I need help.  I am on the last day of DR and wanted to try loading our
LTO tapes into the automated LTO library, that the DR providers have as we
are sick of loading the tapes manually?  Anyway the library is refusing to
read our barcodes even though it is the exact same library we have back at
base.  I would be very grateful if someone can shine some light?

Re: Loading DR tapes into an automated library

[Tom Kauffman]

What do you mean "Refusing to read"?

We did this earlier this year.

Try this:

1) Open the library
2) Insert your tapes
3) close the library
4) wait for the initialization to finish
5) Use the front-panel controls to query the library - should show the
number of tapes
6) use the front panel controls to move a tape by volser and see if you get
a list of your tapes

If #6 works, the library read your barcodes; if not, your D/R site provider
needs to investigate what's wrong.

7) within TSM, "Audit library  checklabel=barcode
8) Checkin libv  search=yes status=scratch checklabel=barcode
9) Checkin libv  search=yes status=private checklabel=barcode

For 7 thru 9 to work, your library definitions need to be correct in TSM,
and I'm not sure how that works in a Win2K envirnment as our TSM server is
AIX.

Re: Loading DR tapes into an automated library

Tom,
 I managed to get the library to read the tapes (setup wrongly).  I
have ran an audit but it can't find any tapes.  Therefore it is no longer a
barcode issue but I am stuck again.

When checking them in as private I am define owner= as
our PLM is also AIX.

AW: Active Directory Problems

[Salak Juraj]

Zlatko,
 how is it:
4)ignore restart message
..
6).. You will need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5

In order to be in AD recovery in step 5 I have to restart.
But a restart after (4) will probably not work because 
of mismatch between system objects left from (1) installation 
and files having been restored(3) 

What am I missing?

Back to the topic - the problem Jacques is experiencing:
The standard Win2k recovery procedure is:
1. Install clean Windows - I install it on the *same* path and it works 
fine
2. Install TSM client - personally I prefer instead of configuring it to 
restore dsm.opt and restart the client
3. Restore *all program files* - if some application is installed on a 
drive other than C:, its binaries is better to be restores right now
4. Ignore restart message
5. Restore System State (System Object in TSM terms) and reboot.
6. (only for the only/first domain controller in DR) Make the restored AD 
data "authoritative". You will need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5.

The trick is to avoid joining to the domain at step 1 Keep the system 
as being part of some imaginary workgroup (better with a name which is not 
known to the domain controller/master NetBIOS browser).
In step 5 all information regarding membership to the domain will be 
restored and after reboot the server will be part of the domain. Think of 
sequence failure-reinstall-restore-reboot as of an ordinary 
shutdown-reboot with longer downtime!

Hi Everyone.

I've restore the system volume (c:) and all system objects
(of which I have a consistent backup of) successfully.  I
can access Active Directory and see all resources.  I can
even see all the resources from another machine through a
UNC path.  It even prompts me for a username and and
password.  I type the domain name\username and the password
and I can see all printers, etc.

I however cannot log onto or join the domain.

Did anyone else get this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Active Directory Problems

[Remeta, Mark]

I believe the IBM Redbook example of recovering a AD Controller is in
non-authoritative mode. It does not go into how to do a Authoritative
restore or even if one is possible. I believe they suggest you setup a new
blank DC and let AD replicate.

Re: Loading DR tapes into an automated library

[Tom Kauffman]

Mike --

I've never seen this; no clues, unfortunately. Would these be the "L1" code
at the end of the barcode label?

This is the point where I'd drag in the local D/R site support people and
also consider a call to Tivoli support.

And, the way we run D/R tests here, we would set this issue up as a primary
objective for the next D/R test (a "Primary Objective" that we cannot make
work becomes a D/R test failure that shows up in a LARGE number of reviews).

MSCS Win2K, TSM Journal Backups and SAN attached disks!!!

[David McClelland]

*SMers,

I understand from searching back on the list that this one might be a
bit of a hot potato, but here goes anyway:

We'd ideally like to set up TSM Journaling on a Win2K MSCS Cluster using
TSM 4.2 Client with SAN attached disk.

So, my questions are:

o) Does the TSM Journal Engine support SAN-attached disks - I
recall something about the Win32 api ReadDirectoryChangesW only
monitoring 'local' file system changes - does this preclude SAN attached
disk?
o) Would this work in an MSCS cluster?

Has anyone done this, or tried to? Any advice?

Any help greatly received, as always!

Rgds,

David McClelland

Jack,

once you have a proven process for restoring AD
it would be invaluable if you could post it here.
There have been many experiences with restoring W2k published here,
but as for AD Servers I am missing reports about 
real succesfull restores.

I personally tried earlier Zlatko´s-like procedure,
ended with working AD but only after I reinstalled
video and network drivers,
which was absolutely dubious and left bad feeling
and I never saw things like that after having non-AD servers reinstalled.

It is not clear from your e-mail 
which procedure did you succesfully follow - you name 
christian while having attached zlatko´´s procedure ;)

best regards
Juraj Salak


P.S. 
just an angry weep - ignore it if you don´t have both 
a bottle of beer on the table and melancholical spirit;)

The AD has disastreous design from the 
system management point of view, does not it?
The tight coupling betweenn application and operating system is a ...beep...
.
One can NOT backup/restore AD, 
one only can backup/restore complete operating system.
This is not complaint about TSM, this limitation is inherited to the AD
design.

For example, once an AD server HW will not work 
and no compatible HW can be purchased,
one cannot install new OS on a new machine and restore AD.
One has to install and configure AD again and have it replicated.. 
In slow WAN painfull. And what about FSMO´s??

There is good detailed description from microsoft how to backup/restore AD.
Not a subject to be tested in real life. Too many scenarios with different 
procedures - a comprehensive test would take much, much time.

And - one is limited to one domain per computer. 
So I have two servers doing almost nothing but presenting proud logo 
of beeing a forest domain controller.

A good design is possible. e.g. Novel has it.
But so little apps do support this product...

There is a positive point about it - the job creation effect: 
many good payed engineers spend their time solving this unneccessary
problem.
Just like in old times as they 
configured memory extenders for the so-called operating system "DOS" 
in long trial and error only to have it use the real memory in the
computer..

It makes me dumpish to see what kind of 
software uses to win the market battle
and what sort of unnecessary problems do we have to cope with.

My beer is empty - hurray into holliday!

old Juraj

Hi Cristian.

Thanks for your replies.  It's really nice to have people
trying to help you solve your problems on this forum.  I
will make an effort to spend more time on this forum trying
to help other people where I can.

Back to the topic;
I have followed the exact same procedure that you described
and is it seems as if everything is working.  The only
problem is now to join the domain and to log onto the
domain from a workstation.

I have logged a call with Microsoft and will see what they
come up with.

I however have another question for you.  I notices that
the FSMO master server that I'm restoring is not a Global
Catalog server (it is the infrastructure master).  I read
some microsoft article that mentions something that a
Global Catalog server is needed for authentication.  Would
this be my problem and is there a way around it?

I believe the IBM Redbook example of recovering a AD Controller is in
non-authoritative mode. It does not go into how to do a Authoritative

Well, I'll take a stab at this.  We just converted from an old RVA to
an ESS-800 and wondered the same thing.  General agreement seemed to be
there weren't really any advantages to mod-27 unless you're running out
of addresses and there were some downsides, mainly the inability to
start more than one I/O to the device at a time without PAV. I'm not
really sure what kind of problems you might see, performancewise. Might
be OK.  There is also the size limitations on the log/db which would
prevent you from using the entire 25GB with one dataset.

There are probably other considerations, but we had no reason not to
just stick to lots of mod-3s.

I know I asked the same thing here about a month ago and didn't get
much feedback.  Anyone else tried this?

We're running a V5 TSM Server on an MVS platform, and considering the use of
mod-27s for its DASD needs.
Are there any known issues regarding the use of mod-27 DASD devices for TSM

Windows client error and TDP for Exchange question

[Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM]

Hi *SM-ers!
I have a Windows 4.1.3 client with several of the following messages in the
error log:

7/09/2003 02:42:24 File 'E:\EXCHSRVR\mtadata\DB007FAC.DAT' truncated while
reading in Shared Static mode.
07/09/2003 02:42:25 File 'E:\EXCHSRVR\mtadata\DB007FB0.DAT' truncated while
reading in Shared Static mode.

I can't find an APAR for this, well at least not for the Windows client.
Does anybody know what's the cause of this?

Also, there is a TDP for Exchange client installed on this machine.
According to the manual the backup of the Exchange Tracking Log is vital for
recovery, but TSM doesn't seem to be able to back it up:

07/10/2003 02:27:30 ANS1228E Sending of object
'\\x1fd009\e$\EXCHSRVR\tracking.log\20030710.log' failed
07/10/2003 02:27:30 ANS4037E File
'\\x1fd009\e$\EXCHSRVR\tracking.log\20030710.log' changed during processing.
File skipped.

Is this normal behavior?

Re: AIX Upgrade from 4.3.3 to 5.1

[Justin Derrick]

Follow the directions for the 5.1 to ML4 upgrade explicitly -- I
un-tar'd everything into one directory and let smit have it's way,
which was a huge mistake -- thankfully it was a brand new server with
nothing on it.
It's also a good idea to back up /usr/ccs/lib/libc.a to somewhere
else, like /tmp or even / before any big upgrade.  If libc.a gets
corrupted during the upgrade process (it's happened before), this
preventative measure will allow you to recover the box instead of
forcing you to re-install and try to recover your old volume groups.
(FYI, you switch to the old libc.a by using 'set LIBPATH=/tmp'.)
-JD.

I'm going to be upgrading my TSM server from 4.3.3 ML10 to 5.1 ML?.  My TSM
version is 5.1.1.6.  Has anybody had any problems with ML4?

TSM/AIX problem or AIX/TSM problem??!?

[Prather, Wanda]

Need some help from you AIX wizards out there.

I have a new TSM environment; there are 4 p-series servers, all at AIX 5.1
in 32bit mode.

One is a dedicated TSM server, with the unimaginative hostname of "TSM".
(OK, so we're not creative - that's why we have the techie jobs...)

The other 3 servers have hostnames like P6.

The TSM server is 5.1.6.3; the TSM clients are all 5.1.6.something.
The P6 severs back up (incremental) to the TSM server nightly, on a
POLLING schedule.
Incrementals are all done by 2am.
The clients contact the server every 8 hours for work (queryschedperiod 8).
>From their dsmsched.log files, everything seems to be working fine.

Here's the problem:
On each of the P6 hosts, (but not the TSM server), the syslog shows LOTS
of records like the ones below, coming every 20 minutes to an hour apart,
every day.

It appears that the TSM server is trying to contact them on some sort of
virtual terminal session?
There is no TELNET or FTP scheduled between the servers, and since nothing
is broke, I don't know what to look for to fix.  There is no process on any
machine named "TSM".  Rebooting the TSM server doesn't stop it.

Can anybody tell me what these records represent?  Thanks!

Re: TSM/AIX problem or AIX/TSM problem??!?

Wrong 'tsm'.  tsm is the module in AIX (SYSV) that is the login broker (it
does getty, and login).

The messages below indicate that something is getting a 'password: ' prompt
but not typing anything or hitting enter before a timeout value.

Re: TSM/AIX problem or AIX/TSM problem??!?

[Justin Derrick]

In this case, 'tsm' is different from 'TSM'.  'tsm' is the program
used by functions like 'login' on AIX.  I suspect someone is trying
to connect to your machine via telnet or ftp, and never logging in.
-JD.

Need some help from you AIX wizards out there.

I have a new TSM environment; there are 4 p-series servers, all at AIX 5.1
in 32bit mode.
One is a dedicated TSM server, with the unimaginative hostname of "TSM".
(OK, so we're not creative - that's why we have the techie jobs...)
The other 3 servers have hostnames like P6.

The TSM server is 5.1.6.3; the TSM clients are all 5.1.6.something.
The P6 severs back up (incremental) to the TSM server nightly, on a
POLLING schedule.
Incrementals are all done by 2am.
The clients contact the server every 8 hours for work (queryschedperiod 8).
From their dsmsched.log files, everything seems to be working fine.
Here's the problem:
On each of the P6 hosts, (but not the TSM server), the syslog shows LOTS
of records like the ones below, coming every 20 minutes to an hour apart,
every day.
It appears that the TSM server is trying to contact them on some sort of
virtual terminal session?
There is no TELNET or FTP scheduled between the servers, and since nothing
is broke, I don't know what to look for to fix.  There is no process on any
machine named "TSM".  Rebooting the TSM server doesn't stop it.
Can anybody tell me what these records represent?  Thanks!

Re: Loading DR tapes into an automated library

[Stapleton, Mark]

The library you are using is reading the "extended" version of the LTO barcode (the 
bit with the "L1" in it). You need to change the way the library reads the barcode 
from "extended" to "normal".
 
P.S. This probably also means that your DR provider is not using the latest microcode 
on the library.

I've never seen this; no clues, unfortunately. Would these be the "L1" code
at the end of the barcode label?

This is the point where I'd drag in the local D/R site support people and
also consider a call to Tivoli support.

And, the way we run D/R tests here, we would set this issue up as a primary
objective for the next D/R test (a "Primary Objective" that we cannot make
work becomes a D/R test failure that shows up in a LARGE number of reviews).

What do you mean "Refusing to read"?

We did this earlier this year.

Try this:

1) Open the library
2) Insert your tapes
3) close the library
4) wait for the initialization to finish
5) Use the front-panel controls to query the library - should show the
number of tapes
6) use the front panel controls to move a tape by volser and see if you get
a list of your tapes

If #6 works, the library read your barcodes; if not, your D/R site provider
needs to investigate what's wrong.

7) within TSM, "Audit library  checklabel=barcode
8) Checkin libv  search=yes status=scratch checklabel=barcode
9) Checkin libv  search=yes status=private checklabel=barcode

For 7 thru 9 to work, your library definitions need to be correct in TSM,
and I'm not sure how that works in a Win2K envirnment as our TSM server is
AIX.

Re: AW: Active Directory Problems

[Zlatko Krastev]

Juraj,

you need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5. But usually if when files 
restore is done and System State restore is not, the system end up with 
BSOD. Therefore you have to enter AD recovery mode somewhere before step 
3. If you are familiar with the sequence of installing Win2k, then last 
reboot in step 1 can be used for that purpose. Otherwise you have to 
perform one more reboot before step 3.

--> [Mark] ... I believe they suggest you setup a new blank DC and let AD replicate. 
...

If you are in DR scenario there is no DC to replicate from. Thus you have 
to promote the restored AD to authoritative state using NTDSUTIL as M$ 
suggests.
Unfortunately I do not know wouldn't be there some problems with an 
extended schema. I recall such a problem with Netware NDS - when schema 
was extended by an installed product, you have to perform clean install of 
NW + install the application and only then restore the NDS.

Zlatko,
 how is it:
4)ignore restart message
..
6).. You will need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5

In order to be in AD recovery in step 5 I have to restart.
But a restart after (4) will probably not work because 
of mismatch between system objects left from (1) installation 
and files having been restored(3) 

What am I missing?

Christian,

I am under impression that your posts become more and more misleading over 

time! Is this because I read them selectively or for any other reason - 
don't know. I would be rather happy to be proved wrong!!!
Also advertizement within any advice is against the principles of the 
community on this forum. Please perform your marketing activities 
privately or using a different media


Back to the topic - the problem Jacques is experiencing:
The standard Win2k recovery procedure is:
1. Install clean Windows - I install it on the *same* path and it works 
fine
2. Install TSM client - personally I prefer instead of configuring it to 
restore dsm.opt and restart the client
3. Restore *all program files* - if some application is installed on a 
drive other than C:, its binaries is better to be restores right now
4. Ignore restart message
5. Restore System State (System Object in TSM terms) and reboot.
6. (only for the only/first domain controller in DR) Make the restored AD 
data "authoritative". You will need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5.

The trick is to avoid joining to the domain at step 1 Keep the system 
as being part of some imaginary workgroup (better with a name which is not 

known to the domain controller/master NetBIOS browser).
In step 5 all information regarding membership to the domain will be 
restored and after reboot the server will be part of the domain. Think of 
sequence failure-reinstall-restore-reboot as of an ordinary 
shutdown-reboot with longer downtime!

When you installed Windows on the machine.
Did you installed Windows in a Temp directory and then restore all data
from TSM?
Or did you installed Windows in there standard path and overwrite each

with TSM?

If you did the last thing. I can understand way you got that problem. That
is becuse you got a new SID and et c.
Try to install Windows in a Temp Path and restore the data from TSM to
there normal PATH. Reboot the server and boot up in Restore Directory
Service mode and restore the System Object. Reboot the server again and
remove the temp Windows installation.

Now should it work fine.
To do this much easyer. Buy a Disaster Recovery tool. Talk to IBM and they

Re: Loading DR tapes into an automated library

[Coats, Jack]

I ran into this on my production system when we upgraded microcode and did
some library
expansion (added internal slots, expanded the door, and added drives).

You need to go into the library setup pannel and change it to use the
'extended' barcodes.
I had to pull all the tapes out of the library, and re-check them all in for
it to work,
but we only have a partially loaded 3583, not a big library.

After that it worked like a champ.

Eric,

What "manual" says that the "Exchange Tracking Log is vital for

the tracking logs to recover an Exchange Server.

You may still want to back those files up...
Since these files could be changing, you could change
the to copy serialization to dynamic or shared dynamic.
Or... use the new 5.2 feature to back up open/locked files.

There is no existing [SQL] table you can run SELECT from to get this data.
BUT you can map one of the hidden
tables to create new SQL table and then run your SELECT against this new
table. I'd recommend you to search ADSM-L archive
for the command to do the mapping; this is 'undocumented' one.table you

o) Does the TSM Journal Engine support SAN-attached disks - I
recall something about the Win32 api ReadDirectoryChangesW only
monitoring 'local' file system changes - does this preclude SAN attached
disk?
A SAN-attached disk is considered a local file system. Yes, this
would be "journalable". (Is that even a word?)
o) Would this work in an MSCS cluster?
I'm going to defer to Andy Raibeck on the official answer on this
one.Does it work? The answer I got was
that this was not supported, because the TSM Journal Service cannot be
restarted on the second
half of the cluster if a failover occurs. But if you are willing to live
with this limitation, it does work. You
can have the journal service monitor the shared resources, and it will
journal them. It just won't work in
the event of a failover. The journal will not be valid, and you will have
to resort to a "normal" incremental backup.

Has anyone done this, or tried to? Any advice?

Any help greatly received, as always!
