Re: A simple question but trouble me these days
Questions are almost always simple. It is the answers that are usually not trivial. The short, inferior answer to your question: use the RESTORE DB command. However, this does not sufficiently cover the subject. The longer (and better) answer to your question: I would *strongly* recommend that you carefully read chapter 23 in the TSM Administrator's Guide, "Protecting and Recovering Your Server". This chapter describes the TSM features that enable you to protect and recover your server, and includes recovery scenarios. Also, as the commands are discussed in the Admin Guide, look them up in the TSM Administrator's Reference. The Admin Reference provides syntax for the commands, but the Admin Guide provides a context in which to use them.

Disk Storage Volume Pool Sizing
Simple Question: In a disk storage pool which migrates to LTO tape, what is the optimal size for the volumes to be? Let's assume the following: Fast network connection(s) 1-to-many clients (depending on the time of day) 1000GB of fast local storage (SAN, SCSI, Fiber, etc.) UNIX/Linux/AIX/Solaris (not Win32) server 1000x1GB volumes? 500x2GB volumes? 100x10GB volumes? 10x100GB volumes? 1x1000GB volume? I have done extensive testing in the lab with this but have not really reached any consistent conclusions. Does it matter? Mitch
Re: TDP Oracle backup/restore question
Most likely the backed up data is all on one tape, and could therefore
be considered a "single threaded" process (my analogy).
To be able to multiple simultaneous restore sessions, the client
must be sent to a storage pool with collocation, or in the case of
RMAN which is just ONE filespace to TSM server, go directly to
tape - and you must have enough tape drives etc to do this.
Quick answer.

Question:
We are using Oracle RMAN with Tivoli for our backups. In our RMAN scripts
we defined 5 Channels to use for backups. It takes about one and half hours
to complete the backups.
During the Database recovery process, we are using 5 channels. All the time
only one channel is active restoring files and rest of the channels will be
waiting on the current active channel to complete. It's taking about six to
seven hours for the database restore to complete.
Any one had previous experience with RMAN/Tivoli, waiting for allocating
channels during the restore process?
RMAN backup script:
===
run {
sql 'alter system archive log current';
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms

IBM is not eating their own dog food
I am not asking for advice or help but want to discuss am I the only person seeing the symptom. Today I've got it trying to look different libraries. Supported devices list does not require authorization but library element addresses are protected (maybe again SCO is having IP claims :-)). Visiting IBM support site (not only for TSM) every now and then I am facing an ugly message: "We apologize for this inconvenience. Please wait a few minutes and then try your request again. If the problem persists, please use our Customer assistance page to report it. " It seems that with introduction of single-logon and single-id ideology IBM introduced another bottleneck or single point of failure. And recalling a 2-3 years old analysis I can remember a statement that IBM is one of the companies which do not eat their own dog food - in this case IBM is selling high-performance and high-availability solutions to customers but their own systems are not in this class. BTW: for all IBMers reading the list - I am sick to death of IBM web site support irresponsibility and abandoned any attempts to report web-related problems. This one also will *not* receive my click on that stupid link :- Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant
Re: dsmserv.dsk?
Each route has to start from some well known point and follow the signs further. The starting point for TSM server is fixed name file (dsmserv.dsk) in predefined directory (directory where the binary resides). The file contents serve as directions for the next hop and first DB volume accessed provides information for the further route. Same is happening on OS bootstrap process - boot information is always looked at predefined place (boot list) for the first step (boot device) and only afterwards all is read and known.

Re: opinions on disk partitioning
Many many times beaten to dead on this forum. You can find tons of discussions and valuable information in the archives. IM(ns)HO the database will feel more comfortable on RAID 1/10 or software mirrored volumes. RAID 5 will suffer from random writes and the problem grows with number of disks. 8 disks are a way too much for heavily used RAID 5 if big memory cache (at least 8 GB in IBM ESS) is not available. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Leonard Lauria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 21.08.2003 15:53 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:opinions on disk partitioning I would like to get opinions on disk configurations for a new platform. I am installing my TSM server on an aix platform, with FASTT700 disk. The FASTT700 has (28) 73 GB, 15K disks, of which 23 are available for this application. I am considering the following 2 setups, but please feel free to make other suggestions! 1) 12 drives for the TSM DB, raid 10. I only need 100 GB, plus room to grow, perhaps double, so this wastes a lot of space, but I get needed spindles. Remaining 11 drives would be Raid 5, and exported as a single LUN which would have 4 logical volumes for: 570 GB disk pool 200 GB disk pool 20 GB disk pool 13 GB TSM log 2) 8 drives for the TSM DB, raid 5. I only need 100 GB, plus room to grow, perhaps double, so this is less space, but fewer spindles and no mirror. Remaining 15 drives would be Raid 5, and exported as a single LUN which would have 4 logical volumes for: 500 GB disk pool 500 GB disk pool 82 GB disk pool 13 GB TSM log #2 gives me more spindles for the disk pools, by using only raid5 for the database partitions. Another concern is having the disk pools compete with each other on the same disks. Would it be better to have fewer spindles per disk pools, but have disk pools seperate from each other, or all the disk pools spread over the same larger number of spindles? Also, I have had a lot of conflicting information regarding TSM doing mirrors of the DB and LOG versus letting the FASTT hardware do raid protection. It seems the hardware implementation would be faster, and just as safe, as letting TSM do mirrors...not to mention allowing me to spread things out a bit more. Any opinions on my options?

Re: Can TSM server on z/OS talk to SANs?
TSM server on z/OS doing LANFREE backups is a part of the 5.2 announcement. We are looking at it also. I don't know if it fits types of backups. I would think that the backup direct to tape over a SAN could be much faster than say a backup over a GB Ethenet network to disk. HOWEVER, If the backup over the network is nearing the capacity of the network, client, server, or the disk, I wonder how much faster the backup will be. I truely would like to know. We have a large DB2 data warehouse that takes too long to backup, (and is growing). But I don't see it stressing any of the above listed components. We are having the client compress it (and it is getting better than 3:1). So it makes me wonder if going the LAN FREE route will buy us anything. Does anyone have an experienced opinion on this?

Re: opinions on disk partitioning
I attended a session at the latest storage conference that gave some specific performance suggestions regarding AIX/TSM/FastT. Maybe these will help with your testing, I haven't had a chance to try all of these yet. I have always used RAID5 on a FastT with very acceptable performance (due to the write cache). Standard disclaimer applies, research these values and implement at your own risk. FC Adapter Attribute Changes: lg_term_dma from 0x20 to 0x100 (from 2MB to 16MB) num_cmd_elems from 200 to 1024 (queue depth for the adapter) dar attribute changes: load_balancing was set to yes autorecovery was set to yes hdisk attribute changes: queue_depth from the default to 16 (total for all hdisks on a FastT should be 512 or less) prefetch_mult from 0 to 8 AIX vmtune changes: minperm from 20 to 5 maxpgahead from 8 to 32 maxrandwrt from 0 to 32 numclust from 1 to 8 sync_release_iolock from 0 to 1 maxclient from 80 to 5 General FastT disk recommendations: RAID5 is ideal for the recovery log Create LUNs with 2 PVs, one on each half (RAID 1 pair) Storage Pool drives have segment size of 128K, read/write cache enabled, write cache w/mirroring, cache read ahead 4 Database drives have write cache enabled, write cache w/mirroring, cache read ahead 0 __ John Monahan Senior Consultant Enterprise Solutions Computech Resources, Inc.

Re: opinions on disk partitioning
I have a FAStT200 HA with (20) 73GB disks and AIX TSM server. In brief, when I initially setup, I had (3) 5 member raid disks configured for TSM disk pools and backing up 400 GB per day. This was slower as amount of data increased. I changed to (5) 3 member raid disks and performance was much better. I am now backing up 700 - 800 GB in about a 15 hour window from 200 clients and doing migration and backup stg. I would definitely not use single LUN for TSM disk pool. Also at TSM point, you should have multiple TSM volumes. For a 500GB disk pool, I would have at least 10 TSM volumes. Unless you just have a few big clients. The idea is not only more spindles but more "arrays" for improved performance. David B.

Re: Restoring SQL Database
Del's answer is accurate, but I can add a little specific SQL Server knowledge if it helps you feel better about things. What is happening is that restoring a SQL Server's master database is the equivalent of a brain transplant for the database instance. Many fundamental "facts" about the database are defined in the master database, so there is no way to guarantee that the instance is in a consistent state at this point. These "facts" that I am referring to go well beyond the obvious (login definitions, database names, locations of primary data files, and the like). For example, after master has been replaced, all of the following may have changed: login definitions, database names, locations of primary data files, character set, collation order, error messages, compiled access plans, and on and on the list goes. So the simplest way, by far, to get the instance back into a consistent state is to bounce the instance using the "new" master database. Therefore, SQL Server posts a message saying that the restore was successful, but SQL must shut down now. As a sidebar, if you look in the SQL Server error log that was active during the restore, you *will* see that SQL actually notifies you that it is shutting down. But what typically happens is that the client software (in this case, TDP), did not write code to handle this special event, so it is not "expecting" the instance to shut down. Therefore, the client software reports that the connection is broken, and it appears as an "error" in the client software, even though everything is fine from SQL Server's point of view. Just my 0.02. Hope that helps you understand what's going on a little better.

That is documented in the User's Guide. Please read the Appendix carefully about restoring the master database. (It is under "Advanced Restore Procedures".) You may want to get to a supported level of Dp for SQL, which is 5.1.5. ..or at least look at the 5.1.5 User's Guide online which has more detailed information for Advanced Restore Procedures.

Re: dsmserv.dsk?
Yes. This file contains a list of the TSM server db and log files. If you were ever to lose dsmserv.dsk, all you need to do is create a new dsmserv.dsk file with one of the db or log file names in it. Since each db and log file contains info about all the other db and log files, the server could restart from that minimal dsmserv.dsk file (it will then update dsmserv.dsk with all the log and db file names).

Take a closer look at this since the executable names (TDPEXC.EXE and TDPEXCC.EXE)did not change, and the "TDPExchange" sub-directory did not change.

Re: opinions on disk partitioning
Hi, We have implemented TSM on a fastt700. What I would suggest you do is get the system installed and do some real world performance testing to validate any configuration you are looking at. This is approximately what we have done: 2 Member Raid 1 for system disk (AIX 5.2 can boot from the SAN) 2 Member Raid 1 for logs 5 Member Raid 5 for DB 9 Member Raid 5 for Disk Pool 9 Member Raid 5 for Disk Pool Not all of the space is completely allocated to the filesystems here, but it give you the picture. We did quite a bit of testing to make sure that the Raid 5 for the disk pools would not slow us down. During our testing we were able to write to these disks (bot simultaneously) at 50MB/s each. This was plenty of validation for me that the disk configuration could pretty much handle whatever we threw at it. So far (we have been live for 4 months and are ratcheting up the number of systems we back up) we are doing extremely well. The system backs up over 250GB/night (which isn't a lot, but it is increasingly rapidly). This is spread across approximately two hours (to disk) then another two hours or so to tape (IBM 3584 Lib with 8/FC attached LTO1's). There is a lot of room to grow with that as the backup to tape is currently limited by fact that of the 250GB approximately 150GB comes from a single host (so when you do the stgpool backup it can't parallelize beyond a certain point). One caution however is to be sure and implement zoning today. Don't wait to implement this until you need to. We have waited a while on our Compaq SAN equipment and are having to retro the zoning in. Also As to the question about mirrored database volumes, I cannot say one way or another. I have seen posts that suggest this is a problem. I have also worked with databases for quite a while (oracle, sybase and mssql) and never seen this issue with them. So either whatever flavor of database IBM uses is susceptible to this issue or it was more of a problem with older hardware. I have currently not setup this system to mirror the database volumes in software. The issue with the corruption of the database volume was not correctable with hardware raid.

Re: opinions on disk partitioning
We have our TSB DB on Raid-5 disk . We do not mirror the disk that are storage volumes because the data only resides there a short while before going to cartridge. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/21/03 08:53AM >>> I would like to get opinions on disk configurations for a new platform.

Upgrade TDP for Exchange v2.2 to ITSM for Mail 5.1.5
Client - Windows 2000 Advanced Server running Exchange 2000. TDP for Exchange v2.2 Hi all, This is going to seem like a dumb question, but when you have TDP for Exchange v2.2 already running on a system, and upgrade to ITSM for Mail 5.1.5, all of your old shortcuts are now "broken". If you click on a shortcut that you had on the desktop, it gives you a message: "Problem with shortcut - This action is only valid for current products installed." Why does this occur? The path to the executable has not changed. I am looking for a way to resolve this as we are getting ready to upgrade (finally) about 40 Exchange servers to ITSM for Mail 5.1.5.

Re: IP Change on our TSM Server
Thomas, Changing your IP address should be a problem at all (its never been for me).
