Re: Cleaning Machine for 3590 cartridges

Matching node number to node name?

ANRD IMFS(3570): ThreadId<6027> Lock conflict error in obtaining sLock for node 39, filespace 7 I see these several times during my backup cycle. I'm also seeing problems with throughput from many of my clients and the backups aren't completing. I'm guessing that there's a connection and that whatever contention is causing these messages to be generated is also preventing my backups from running. Unfortunately I don't have a node named "39" and I don't see a column name to contain a node_number in the database. Anybody know how I can figure out which client this is?

Re: TSM Downward Scaleability
I would rather disagree. 1. Zero on-site skills: from our experience even a clerical end-user can sign a Fed-Ex delivery, unplug power and LAN cords from failed system, and plug them back in the replacement server. 2. Limited on-site skills: Most often available - people with limited knowledge of Windows, some have done hard-disk replacement (or can easily be taught how to replace hot-swap disk). With unified hardware you can send only pre-built disk instead of whole server. The advanced part can be handed successfully to central site: - with very inexpesive disks a local diskpool to hold all backups is not a problem, copypool over WAN; - enterprise-wide management products are common in big enterprises; - TSM itself has very good enterprise management features (and I prefer CLI which is WAN-friendly vs. WebAdmin) - many of the restores are not BMR ones but for single file/directory; - restores still can be performed through Web client using browser at central site; - TSM server can be rebuilt at central site and sent to satelite site for replacement; - BMR restore also can be performed at the central site and workstation/disk be sent to satelite site. Thus if I am the IT manager, instead of hiring or outsourcing people for tens of remote sites, I can manage this with existing staff at central site or no more than one-two persons in addition to TSM admin. For me TSM scales down to 0 tape drives. Of course, if total occupied space on the remote site machines is going to become beyond 100 GB, an autoloader or library is a must. But for office workstations using TSM prograssive backup, sub-file backups and having MP3/AVI/DivX/etc. excluded, the tape-less server is fine. Such offices usually do not utilize the WAN during the night.

MY question is this:How can similar >services be delivered to sites where there are less >than ten nodes, limited bandwidth, no system >administrators and, most importantly, tiny budgets. It's not realistic to have server systems of any kind at a site where there is no technical administration: someone has to be knowledgeable about the systems in order to minimally inspect them visually when there is a problem. Clerical people simply can't serve in that capacity. Remote administration is a feasible concept, but when hardware stops working, knowledgable eyes and experienced hands must be at the site. Such a responsibility might be contracted to an outside company, which can feasibly attend to disparate physical sites. Consider also that while unattended backup, by various means by products of different scales, is not difficult, the backups are done because of the prospect of the need for a restoral, which can involve a full-down computer, and that is beyond the capabilities of clerical people to address: someone has to know what to do, particularly where a collection of office computers will seldom be uniform. TSM is an enterprise product, intended for larger installations, which is to say those where there are concentrated server facilities and network access. As Wanda suggests, backup by remote offices over a WAN is the method of choice where TSM or like backup/restore product are involved. Again, the backup is easy, but restoral can be problematic. Advanced planning is necessary to cover all aspects of backup/restoral needs, which in turn is just a part of a company's larger disaster recovery plan. Richard Sims, BU

Zlatko - I think that in your experiences that you were blessed with some incidentally knowledgeable people at your outlying sites. My experience with even local computer room operators is much less rosy, which is to say disinterested, incapable, and hapless people who don't know one connector from another. My experience suggests that depending upon outlying natives may just prolong a business outage, relying too much on the happenstance skills and knowledge of one or two people who happen to work at such a location, and whether they are at work on the day of the outage. Certainly, many computer outages are merely inconveniences which may affect only a small number of people at an office. But it can, of course, scale to full-blown site downtimes. Businesses are free to plan for outages as minimally as they feel they can afford, based upon perceived impacts. I would only encourage them to fully think through all the possibilities and ramifications. We've certainly seen panic postings on ADSM-L where customers have failed to plan their backups and recovery methods to address the kind of outage they have just encountered - which is, of course, too late.

Re: Cleaning Machine for 3590 cartridges
>I take it that you company do not use these model 3599 cleaning machine? Dave - True, we do not. In the dim past I recall seeing cleaning machines for open reel tapes, with a supply of special razor blades for scraping gunk off the oxide surface of the tape as it sped by. Such external cleaning measures were certainly appropriate in those days, where operators touched the surface of the media and the tape was very much more open to the environment. These days, all removeable media remains at least somewhat exposed to the atmosphere, but contact through handling is virtually non-existent, and so the need for such externalized cleaning is dubious. The real value of a device such as the Bow Industries "3599", in my experience, is in detecting and reporting anomalies in the tape: wrinkles, creases, ripples, etc., which I have seen in post mortems of failed cartridges. It is valuable to determine such without having to unreel the tape into a cardboard box, to be able to return such tapes to the manufacturer with a report telling them that their manufacturing process was stinko that day, letting defectively made tapes get out of the factory.

Here's an intersting event . . . Part 2 (longish)
OK -- next step is to get current on the TSM client and the TDP_r3 client. Both installers are broken under AIX. I select this to install (install and update from all available software): I:tivoli.tsm.client.api.aix51.64bit 5.1.6.9 tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix51.64bit.base 5.1.6.9 tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix51.64bit.common 5.1.6.9 tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix51.64bit.web 5.1.6.9 The preview runs clean, but I get this error on the install: #***# tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix51.64bit.common and tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix43.32bit.c ommon can not be installed together. You must choose which one to install. Aborting installation of fileset: tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix51.64bit.common. #***# Failure occurred during pre_rm. Failure occurred during rminstal. Excuse me, I *did* choose which one to install! So I un-install the TSM 4.2.1.11 client code by hand and re-run the TSM 5.1 install. Then I install the TDP_R3 code. First of all, this is now a java-based graphical install. There is a note in the README file on the FTP site indicating that it can be installed on a serial console -- consult the TIPHINTS file for the procedure. And to get the TIPHINTS file? Just run the graphical install . . . Next, as part of the install, the TDP code suggests a sample directory to put the executables in: /oracle/SBX/sapmnt/SBX/SYS/exe/run Now we've been running SAP since the 3.0D days -- and the executables live in /sapmnt/SID/exe but are referenced by the path /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run which symlinks to the /sapmnt/SID/exe directory. So where did this incredibly bad amalgamation suggestion come from? Alright - I fix the path, finish the install, indicating that I'm doing an update and not a new install -- and then can't find backint. It seems that, since the symlinks are still there from the prior release, they haven't been replaced (even though I did uninstall TDP_R3 with the 4.2.x client code). Now, having complained about the install -- at least the product works. I successfully restored the online backup from yesterday that failed twice yesterday and once today on the older API and TDP/R3. However (there's ALWAYS a 'however') -- the new code takes longer!

TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1
Hi all, I'm about introducing TDP for Lotus Domino vers. 5.1.5.1 under Lotus Domino 5.0.12 and there are some questions. Maybe one of you have answers. While testing I noticed, that there will be written a pair of ANE4991I messages for each backed up Domino data base to TSM servers activity log. One is indicating starting the backup operation while the other one displays completion of backup. If there are a lot of data bases being backed up, e.g. on selective backup once a week, there are thousands of these messages being logged to TSM servers actlog. Is there a method to avoid that? I haven't found a parameter within TDPD (domdsmc set ...)? Also we are planning to enable Domino archive TxL into production servers. It has already been tested in a test environment. Now the question arised what would happen with the TSM server schedule used to archive those Domino archive logs, while a 'long running backup' is being performed (e.g. selective backup once a week) also initated by a TSM server schedule. Wouldn't there be a risk that all Domino log extends could fill up completely before that logs have been archived. How do you handle or avoid that risk?

Choosing volumes for DR restores
We are in the process of reorganizing some of our storage pools. We are using 'move nodedata' to move primary storage pool contents to new storage pools. We are running 'backup stgpool' commands to create new offsite copies in corresponding new copy storage pools. We are using 'delete volume' and 'backup stgpool' to clean up the copies left behind in pre-existing copy storage pools. It is not clear that we will be able to finish the copy storage pool cleanup before our next disaster recovery test. If we don't finish by then our reconstructed server will have access to two copies of some client backup files. How does TSM decide which copy to use in this situation?

Each backup seems to start with: 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found. 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found. 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found. 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found. 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found. 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found. 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found. 10/22/2003 22:14:04 (TSA600.NLM 6.0 269) No data sets can be found.

Re: Matching node number to node name?
Joe, Good luck. In my case it was DISKVOLID9. It took months to find and resolve the problem.

I've not been able to pin down exactly what the node_name to node_number relationship is using the database (yet!).

Joe - I regret that I haven't the knowledge to advise on getting the nodename from the number; but you may see nearby messages about a client session failing as a result, or the like. You may be able to compensate for this problem by reducing the simultaneity of sessions and processes, or by increasing server option RESOURCETimeout if it is rather small (the default in v5 is 60 minutes, boosted from its introductory value of 10 due to too many customer db contention problems). But this may be a product problem that you need to refer to TSM Support. Richard Sims, BU Joe Howell Shelter Insurance Companies Columbia, MO - Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Re: Diagnosing problem on Novell server backups
As for the TSA, from the messages, I guess 269 and the OS should be V6. The client is 5.1.6.0. I have requested the client be upgraded to V5.2.x.

TDP for Domino
Hi everyone, Has anyone tried TDP for Domino 5.2.1 to backup Domino 6.x on W2K to TSM server 5.2.x on W2K and successful? If yes, are there any "gotchas" to be aware of? Thanks in advance Hector Chan
Re: Two TSM Servers with a Storage Agent?
You could achieve this quite easily with "double everything" on the node in question. IE: Two TSM Clients, Two storage agents. Each client would talk to its own storage agent, that would talk to the two TSM servers in question. You'll need to play with ports - so that each client uses its own web interface port (if you want that), and each storage agent listens on its own port. Having two network interfaces, will help separate traffic, as would two HBA's. ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 23/10/2003 11:55:19 PM: > Hi guys, > > I want to be able to configure a server using the LAN-free storage > agent to be able to back up to storage pools on two different TSM servers. > > I.e.

Is the directory information you referring about related to Windows systems? You should use the DIRMC client option to store all your directory information in a DISK based storage pool (DISK or FILE), so that it remains on faster quicker access media for restore purposes. (Dont let that stuff go to tape for the reasons you have outlined below.) The DIRMC client option is not really required for Unix based systems, as the database has enough space to store that information. ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli
tape status
Hi, I got LTO tapes that that was labelled into a 3583 library some months back, now when i do a query volume, ie q vol gpc027 f=d I get a message: ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria. ANS8001I Return code 11. If the tape has expired as tape as part of the system policy, wouldnt i get a message like below, eg Volume Status: Empty: Volume Name: GPC093 Storage Pool Name: COPYSAP_LOG1 Device Class Name: LTOCLASS Estimated Capacity (MB): 0.0 Pct Util: 0.0 Volume Status: Empty Access: Offsite Pct.

Re: tape status
Dat, Q VOL will only show SCRATCH tapes that have data on them, or DEFINED tapes (when you use the define vol command), or sometimes (as you've captured below), you will also see SCRATCH tapes that are EMPTY - this will be because: * They recently became empty and TSM hasnt yet deleted them (returning them to the "scratch pool") - very rare, * They are empty and offsite (as your example is below), (Offsite SCRATCH volumes that are empty, remain in Q VOL so that you can bring them back onsite - as soon as you mark them as onsite, they will be deleted from Q VOL). Now, if your tapes are empty and in your library and you CANT see them with q VOL, then you will be able to see the with Q LIBV. If you do a HELP UPDATE VOL - it'll tell you when TSM will delete SCRATCH volumes from Q VOL. To answer your question, do you need to relabel them - no. (You would only need to relabel tapes if they were used by something outside of TSM - which overwrote the TSM label.) ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 24/10/2003 10:34:24 AM: > Hi, > > I got LTO tapes that that was labelled into a 3583 library some months back, > now when i do a query volume, ie > > q vol gpc027 f=d > > I get a message: > > ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria. > ANS8001I Return code 11. > > > If the tape has expired as tape as part of the system policy, wouldnt i get > a message like below, eg Volume Status: Empty: > >Volume Name: GPC093 > Storage Pool Name: COPYSAP_LOG1 > Device Class Name: LTOCLASS >Estimated Capacity (MB): 0.0 > Pct Util: 0.0 > Volume Status: Empty > Access: Offsite > Pct.

Re: tape status
Deon, Sorry if i was a bit vague, the question i am asking is does relable destroy existing known tsm tapes or does tsm smart enough to know and prevent you from doing it. Secondly the tape was already define to tsm previous, why now does it give me this error (we havent use it elsewhere) > ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria. > ANS8001I Return code 11 I've also tried q libvol , but the tape isnt there either.

Re: tape status
Dat, No, TSM will NEVER let you (re)label a tape, if the tape is already known to the current TSM server (ie: it is defined in Q VOLHIST or Q VOL). If you try, in your activity log you'll see a label libv failure and the reason why (and the existing label)... If the tape was previously defined (you saw it in Q VOL), and now you cant see it in Q VOL, then it is one of two things: * It was a SCRATCH volume, that became empty and TSM deleted it. * It was not a scratch volume, but a defined volume (DEF VOL command) and somebody deleted it. (You will know if volumes are scratch when you do a Q VOL F=D and look at the "Scratch:" line. ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 24/10/2003 02:10:47 PM: > Deon, > > Sorry if i was a bit vague, the question i am asking is does relable destroy > existing known tsm tapes or does tsm smart enough to know and prevent you > from doing it. > Secondly the tape was already define to tsm previous, why now does it give > me this error (we havent use it elsewhere) > > > ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria. > > ANS8001I Return code 11 > > > I've also tried q libvol , but the tape isnt there either. > > > Regards > > Dat > > > -Original Message- > From: Deon George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, 24 October 2003 1:36 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: tape status > > > Dat, > > Q VOL will only show SCRATCH tapes that have data on them, or DEFINED > tapes (when you use the define vol command), or sometimes (as you've > captured below), you will also see SCRATCH tapes that are EMPTY - this > will be because: > > * They recently became empty and TSM hasnt yet deleted them (returning > them to the "scratch pool") - very rare, > * They are empty and offsite (as your example is below), > > (Offsite SCRATCH volumes that are empty, remain in Q VOL so that you can > bring them back onsite - as soon as you mark them as onsite, they will be > deleted from Q VOL). > > Now, if your tapes are empty and in your library and you CANT see them > with q VOL, then you will be able to see the with Q LIBV. > > If you do a HELP UPDATE VOL - it'll tell you when TSM will delete SCRATCH > volumes from Q VOL. > > To answer your question, do you need to relabel them - no.
