Re: Volume could not be mounted in drives

[Zosimo Noriega]

Thanks for helps.  I've successfully solved this problem, here the solutions
for the other's reference.

I've checked out the volume using these commands:
>checkout libv 3584lib A00098 checklabel=no
>q pro
>q req
>reply 

and then I've checked in the volume by these commands:

>checkin libv 3584lib A00098 status=scratch checklabel=yes search=no
>q pro
>q req
>reply 

The TSM successfully mount the volume for use.

Regards,
Zosi

My question is, what is the best and safest way to rebuild this volume?
 
Volume 100ABN is damaged.  It was in the primary pool, and the operator took it out of 
the library and dropped it.<

The following is the proper (and only) method to restore a damaged volume:

1. Run UPDATE VOLUME 100ABN ACCESS=DESTROYED. This will enable step #2.
2. Run RESTORE VOLUME 100ABN PREVIEW=YES. Review the results in the activity log to 
get the names of the copy pool volumes required to rebuild the volume.
3. Have those copy pool volumes brought onsite and check them into the library as 
private volumes.
4. Run RESTORE VOLUME 100ABN. When the restore completes, volume 100ABN will become a 
scratch tape. Pitch it.

You're done.

This is a long shot, but...

Check the path environment for your Redhat machine. The Domino-specific portions of

I think it could be tape is having hw error.

Re: Help with TSM server being hammered by clients

[Dave Canan]

Can you provide a little more information on the layout of the disk
subsystem for the TSM DB, recovery log and storage pools? I recently close
another customer PMR that was very similar to this. After redoing the
layout for optimal performance for the DB and LOG, the problem went away.
For example:
1. What is the disk subsystem?
2. How many DBVOLS? LOGVOLS, STGPOOL VOLS?
3. Filesystem format - JFS/RLV/???
4. Is it RAID? What type?
5. Are the TSM volumes sharing space with other data?
6. Are the TSM volumes separated by type?
7. How many physical spindles do you have for the TSM volumes?
8. What is your cache hit %?
9. Are you using disk caching? (On both the client and server)
At 01:51 PM 11/4/2003 -0600, you wrote:
TSM Server 4.2.4.1 (Solaris)
TSM Client 4.2.3 (Solaris)
TSM DB 83GB (40% util)
TSM Log 4.6GB
I am having a serious problem with 4 Solaris clients hammering
the server during their backups.  Each client has a lot of file held on
TSM, about 4-5 million per node and growing, though not much data, only a
couple of hundred GB's per node.  The server is very responsive when
these clients are not backing up, all other backups run without lagging
the server.  I have about 120 nodes backing up to this server daily.
What could be causing this performance problem?  Here is a show
logpin during last nights backup:

The recovery log is pinned by a dirty page in the data base buffer pool.
Check the buffer pool
statistics. If the associated transaction is still active then more
information will be displayed
about that transaction.
Database buffer pool global variables:
CkptId=25232, NumClean=269056, MinClean=393192, NumTempClean=393216,
MinTempClean=196596,

DpCursor=92805,
NumEmergency=0 CumEmergency=0, MaxEmergency=0.
BuffersXlatched=0, xLatchesStopped=False, FullFlushWaiting=False.
Is the large number of DpDirty pages bad?  I think so, but I don't know
the techincal details behind this value.  The log is at 0% util when
backups start during the evening and by midnight last night, the log was
up to 80% and climbing rapidly.  Once I cancel these 4 clients from
backing up, the log stops filling so rapidly.  Does anyone else have
problems with clients that have large numbers of small files?  How do you
handle backing them up?  It seems like these nodes take 8-10 hours a piece
which seems very slow.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide!

Re: Accounting file - Reporting

[Alex Paschal]

Hi, Jack.

Assuming you prune/archive your accounting log monthly, something like this
might do.

awk -F , '{ total_bytes_sent_received += $20 } END { print "Total bytes sent
to/from TSM: ", total_bytes_sent_received '

You can do some massaging to get a list of nodes:
cut -d, -f6 dsmaccnt.log | sort -u > list.of.nodes

Then process that list of nodes:
cat list.of.nodes | while read NODE; do
   print "$NODE `grep $NODE dsmaccnt.log | awk -F , '{ nodexfer += $20 } END
{ print nodexfer }'`"
done

There are better ways of doing this (I'd parse dsmaccnt.log once with Perl
and a hash), but this was quick and dirty.  Oh, you imght have to clean up
quotes and stuff, I didn't take the time to check it.  :-)

Please note that this is a long-enduring frequently asked question,

Re: Move data

[Alex den Hartog]

Hi Geoff,

I've had this exact same problem last week, couldn't move data, couldn't
delete the volume. Tried everything, but no result.
Solution: Do an "audit volume fix=yes" on the volume. If the database has a
pointer to non-existing data on the volume, it should be automagically fixed
with this command. It should also tell you -once finished- that the problem
was indeed fixed.

Best regards,
Alex

Run an audit against the tape volume. (audit volser fix=yes).  Once the audit 
completes you can then delete the volume from TSM.

reports the volume has no data. Q con shows nothing but when trying to
delete the volume it reports there is still data on the tape.



Any idea on how to clear this guy up?

Help with TSM server being hammered by clients

[French, Michael]

TSM Server 4.2.4.1 (Solaris)
TSM Client 4.2.3 (Solaris)

TSM DB 83GB (40% util)
TSM Log 4.6GB 

I am having a serious problem with 4 Solaris clients hammering the server 
during their backups.  Each client has a lot of file held on TSM, about 4-5 million 
per node and growing, though not much data, only a couple of hundred GB's per node.  
The server is very responsive when these clients are not backing up, all other backups 
run without lagging the server.  I have about 120 nodes backing up to this server 
daily.
What could be causing this performance problem?  Here is a show logpin during 
last nights backup:

tsm: I02SV1000>show logpin
Dirty page Lsn=4675033.188.3116, Last DB backup Lsn=4677956.167.3489, Transaction table
Lsn=4677883.231.3853, Running DB backup Lsn=0.0.0, Log truncation Lsn=4675033.188.3116 
Lsn=4675033.188.3116, Owner=DB, Length=128

RootAddr=29,
PartKeyLen=1, NonPartKeyLen=7, DataLen=20
The recovery log is pinned by a dirty page in the data base buffer pool. Check the 
buffer pool
statistics. If the associated transaction is still active then more information will 
be displayed
about that transaction. 
Database buffer pool global variables: 
CkptId=25232, NumClean=269056, MinClean=393192, NumTempClean=393216, 
MinTempClean=196596,
BufPoolSize=393216, BufDescCount=432537, BufDescMaxFree=432537,
DpTableSize=393216, DpCount=124149, DpDirty=124149, DpCkptId=21890, DpCursor=92805,
NumEmergency=0 CumEmergency=0, MaxEmergency=0.
BuffersXlatched=0, xLatchesStopped=False, FullFlushWaiting=False.

Is the large number of DpDirty pages bad?  I think so, but I don't know the techincal 
details behind this value.  The log is at 0% util when backups start during the 
evening and by midnight last night, the log was up to 80% and climbing rapidly.  Once 
I cancel these 4 clients from backing up, the log stops filling so rapidly.  Does 
anyone else have problems with clients that have large numbers of small files?  How do 
you handle backing them up?  It seems like these nodes take 8-10 hours a piece which 
seems very slow.

Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide!

Re: Query to see all active / inactive file statistics?

[Alex Paschal]

Another way would be to do an export node for each filespace, preview=yes,
one export for filedata=backup, another export for filedata=backupactive.
It has the added benefit of telling you the number of files, in case you're
interested in that.  I found it useful for tracking down why one of my
node's occupancy was six times the size of the filespace.  (Turned out they
were backing up an overnight temp directory that had a high churn rate.)

That reminds me...I could be golfing.
You could do a Select on the BACKUPS table to generate a report on the
file complement involved.  No server-side lookup operation will give you
actual file sizes, however.

I would take a more statistical approach:  Use Query Occupancy and Query
Auditoccupancy to get overall file numbers and space used.  From Query
Filespace you get space numbers for the Active files (or you could just
go to the client and examine its file system for space used plus number of
file system objects (e.g., inodes).  You can do subtraction and averaging
to get a quick sense of the overall population.

Not quite...

INCLUDE and EXCLUDE operate on files but not directories. So while your
approach above will back up only the *files* under g:\inetpub, as I
mentioned yesterday, it will also traverse and back up (if appropriate)
the other directories on g:. While it technically will work okay, Eric was
looking for a way to have TSM traverse *only* the g:\inetpub directory
structure.

Re: TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1

This will remove ALL messages generated by the TDP agents, not just those
specific to TDP Domino and the start/stop backup of a database. The ANE4991I
message is the catch-all for the TDP agents. The individual message numbers
are imbedded in the ANE4991I message itself.

Make sure you really want to exclude ALL of these TDP messages.

Hi Richard,

you  may  suppress all these ANE4991I messages that TDP for Domino sends to
TSM  actlog  by  using  TSM server command 'disable events'. You may use it
like
  'DISAble EVents ACTLOG ANE4991 client_node_name'

It's just that simple.

Yes, I would be interested. If you can be bothered, please send me a copy
of the answer. But my experience with Tivoli support is that this will take
time, so I won't hold my breath. Good luck.

With regard to your comment:
> In general it seems I have to ask them what's more important
for us there is no question about it. We *have* to clear the disk log areas
to TSM, otherwise Domino (or SAP, or Oracle) just stops. And with our
largest Domino backup taking 30 hours (1+ TB), we *cannot* afford so long a
stop in the scheduler.

Another good reason to put the jobs in the background is to get them to run
in parallel. The TSM scheduler only does 1 backup at a time, but we run
many Domino partitions, and have lots of tape drives. It's much more
efficient to run several backups in parallel (we do up to 8 at a time). In
fact, in our installation we cannot get through the night's backups without
running in parallel.

Another solution is to put some of the schedule jobs into crontab, but it's
much easier to keep an overview if all jobs are in the TSM scheduler, and
you still lose the return code to TSM.

But as I said, we run scripts and do the return code checking ourselves.
It's the only way to go for us.

Richard Foster

ANN: New Mailing List for Backup Reporting

[Peter L. Buschman]

[ This is a one-time announcement that is being sent to lists where the
topic of backup reporting
has come up in the past.  Apologies to any who consider it to be off-topic. ]
A new list has been created specifically for the discussion of
backup-reporting issues:
   http://www.openbackup.org/mailman/listinfo/backup-reporting

This list exists to promote an independent discussion of reporting issues
in enterprise backup environments.
Discussion is limited to the topic of reporting but is not restricted by
either backup product or reporting solution.
Vendor participation is encouraged but sales pitches are not. Discussion
and sharing of solutions is absolutely
encouraged while the focus remains on the needs and requirements
surrounding backup reporting in various
organizations.
Some potential topics include:

   o  Reporting capabilities of different backup applications.
   o  Reporting gaps in different backup applications.
   o  Reporting scripts for various backup applications and platforms.
   o  Reporting needs seen in different environments.
   o  Discussion of commercial and non-commercial reporting products.
   o  Sharing of "roll your own" reporting solutions among list members.
   o  Integrating backup with ERP and helpdesk systems.
   o  Gathering and presenting long-term statistics on backup activity.
Comments and feedback are always welcome.

TDP for Oracle Errors

[Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM]

Hi *SM-ers!
Our Oracle guys and girls are currently testing DP for Oracle 5.2 on Oracle
9i. They turned one a new RMAN feature for automated controlfile backup (for
those of you interested, the command is 'configure controlfile autobackup
on;') Now, whenever a controlfile backup is running it generates the
following error in both the tdpoerror.log and the actlog:

ANE4994S (Session: 1437562, Node: KL1003VC-ORC)  TDP Oracle AIX ANU0599
ANU2602E The object /mount/appl1//c-213141136-20031104-0e was not found
on the TSM Server

We had to make a trace to see that this error is generated because TSM first
checks whether the object exists on the server before allocating it.
I created a PMR for this behavior and level 1 now says: works as designed,
just suppress ANE4994S from the actlog (impossible since ANE4994S is a
generic message) and build something yourself to clear your tdpoerror.log
periodically.
I find this a VERY disappointing reply from IBM
Has anybody encountered this behavior to and maybe found a better way to
solve these errors?
Maybe someone from development listening on this list has a good suggestion?
I'm really stuck here with the Dutch level 1 support... :-((

Re: Upgrade & LAN FREE Licensing Question

[Zlatko Krastev]

In the past there were two different clients: MgSysLAN (B/A Client only)
and MgSysSAN (B/A Client + Storage Agent). For the server you will need
Library Sharing feature.
Since ITSM v5.1 the licensing was modified:
B/A Client is part of either IBM TSM or ITSM Extended Edition. To get
Storage Agent you need ITSM for SAN license on top of ITSM or ITSM XE
license.
Library Sharing now is not a separately licenseable feature but is part of
ITSM Extended Edition.

Thus you need ITSM XE processors for both client and server + ITSM for SAN
processors for the client. You cannot get "lan-free client", you get
"lan-free" (ITSM for SAN) on top of "client" (ITSM XE). Plus your server
needs to be licensed for ITSM XE, and because server and client cannot
intermix ITSM and ITSM XE, the client has to be ITSM XE.

A while back, we experienced a similar problem; I'm not sure that the
symptoms are the same, but it might be worth a look.

In our case, the server would roll along fine for a few days, then
suddenly it would get the

ANR5093E Unable to establish TCP connection - accept error.

message, followed by a large number of

ANRD CSINIT(717): CS pending failed to Initialize - Time Out.

messages, and no new sessions would be allowed.  I'd have to cycle the
server in order to get things going again.

It turned out that we were bumping up against a USS/TCP limit; in our
BPXPRMxx member, our MAXFILEPROC parameter was set too low and was
limiting the number of concurrent TCP connections the TSM server was
allowed.  Once we increased that parm, our problem was solved.

As I say, this may not be your problem precisely, but it may be worth
looking into your BPXPRM settings in general.

Bill

to a supported code level.
We will be doing exactly that, but not for a few weeks.
In the meantime I wonder if anyone else has seen similar.
We are not exceeding the maximum scheduled sessions and I have increased
region size,
but the problem is still there. The hit occurs shotly after a  burst of
new
scheduled sessions
connects to the host server.
The maximum number of connected sessions I have seen before a hit is 62
against a
maximum scheduled sessions value of 80% of maxsessions 100
Clients resource utilization is the default 2, so a subsidiary question is
do both client sessions count in the number of scheduled sessions, if not
then the maimum number of scheduled  sessions connected would only be 31.

thanks,
John

Re: LTO Tape Compatibility

[Richard van Denzel]

In short:

Yes, the media are different.

LTO-2 drives can (as far as I know) read and write LTO-1 media. Obivious,
LTO-1 tapes will use its own density (max 200GB).
You cannot use LTO-2 tapes in an LTO-1 drive.

Subject:LTO Tape Compatibility


I have a library that uses LTO-1 drives.  We are contemplating getting a
new
library (bigger) with LTO-2 drives.
I know there are some folks with experience with both kinds of drives out
there :)

Is the media different between LTO-1 and LTO-2?

Some follow on questions, if the media is different:

Can LTO-2 use the same media as LTO-1?  Would it be used at a lower
density?

Can LTO-1 use the same media as LTO-2?

TIA ... Jack

Re: Number of Sessions?

[Christo Heuer]

Hi John,

This looks more like an IP problem than a sessions issue - the fact that
your
TCP/IP driver can not initialize is the problem. I remember a loong time ago
a similar
problem existed - more or less in ADSM V3 - but it was limited to specific
hardware
devices connecting the OS/390 system to your LAN - I think it was a problem
specific
to Cisco devices.
We've never had the problem - which might have something to do with the fact
that we
run IBM OSA adapters - previously IBM MAE's.

But coming back to your question/s - it has something to do with your IP
driver - do
you see any errors in the TCPIP STC?
Normally this message comes up when the IP STC has been bounced.
The number of sessions includes the control session and the data session.

Cheers
Christo

Re: Number of Sessions?

I don't know for sure, but this may be due to another application using
port 1500. There is an article on the IBM site, http://www.ibm.com, that
discusses this symptom. Don't know if that's your problem, but I thought
I'd mention it. Go to the site and at the top, middle of the page you'll
see a "search" text box. Searching on BPX1COMM should locate the article
for you. Maybe that will shed some light.

Maybe someone forgot to label this volume. checkout libv CHECKLABEL=barcode
should work. And use label libv to label this volume again.

compare and restore only certain files - how?

[Tobias Hofmann]

Ladies, gentlemen,

[Environment: Server Win2k, 5.1.0.0, Client Win2k, 5.1.1.0]

I am in the process of restoring about 500gig of data on a Win2k client
after having experienced some raid-problems. While restoring, the client
went into a freeze and could only be started with a hard reboot, after
already having restored about 180gig of data. Restarting the restore was
not possible.
The question now is the following:

I am afraid that the system froze with maybe a large file (film) being
restored only partially - would a restore with the option not to
overwrite existing file still restore this only partially restored file?
Or put differently: can I do a compare of files in my backup with the
current state of files on my HD to find the files I would have to
restore to have all files on my HD be of the exact state as in my backup?
I searched the archive to no avail and would be very thankful for any
pointer or RTFM/RTFFAQ on this.
TIA and kind regards,

tobi... :)

Re: TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1

[Rainer Holzinger]

Hi Richard,

you  may  suppress all these ANE4991I messages that TDP for Domino sends to
TSM  actlog  by  using  TSM server command 'disable events'. You may use it
like
  'DISAble EVents ACTLOG ANE4991 client_node_name'
 or
 'DISAble EVents ACTLOG ANE4991 *'

It's just that simple.

regards, Rainer

Hi Rainer

Yes, I would be interested. If you can be bothered, please send me a copy
of the answer. But my experience with Tivoli support is that this will take
time, so I won't hold my breath. Good luck.

With regard to your comment:
> In general it seems I have to ask them what's more important
for us there is no question about it. We *have* to clear the disk log areas
to TSM, otherwise Domino (or SAP, or Oracle) just stops. And with our
largest Domino backup taking 30 hours (1+ TB), we *cannot* afford so long a
stop in the scheduler.

Another good reason to put the jobs in the background is to get them to run
in parallel. The TSM scheduler only does 1 backup at a time, but we run
many Domino partitions, and have lots of tape drives. It's much more
efficient to run several backups in parallel (we do up to 8 at a time). In
fact, in our installation we cannot get through the night's backups without
running in parallel.

Another solution is to put some of the schedule jobs into crontab, but it's
much easier to keep an overview if all jobs are in the TSM scheduler, and
you still lose the return code to TSM.

But as I said, we run scripts and do the return code checking ourselves.
It's the only way to go for us.

Regards
Richard Foster
