Re: TDP for SQL backup fails
Richard, what kind of timeout values should I be looking at ? If these values are set globally I cannot see why this one should fail since I'm backing up much larger databases with no problem. Just for reference this database is about 30G large. Thanks Yiannakis -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Sims Sent: 14 January 2004 14:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TDP for SQL backup fails I'm running 5 backups using TDP for SQL on Win2000 SP3 servers. One of them fails with errors that don't give me any clues as to what goes wrong. I've got TSM Server at 5.1.5 on Windows and TDP for SQL 5.1.5. The error message ANS1017E is unknown to my TSM. ACO5436E suggests to look for the next message for clues.

Always keep in mind that the TDPs are based upon the TSM API; hence, you can always fall back to the API manual for return code information...up to a point. That manual has the 418 (but not 402): DSM_RC_OPT_CLIENT_DOES_NOT_WANT 418 /* Client doesn't want this value*/ /* from the server */ I'd recommend looking in the server Activity Log for further reasons. Note the long period between the 20:32 session initiation time and the 23:48 failure message. This *might* reflect the server abandoning the client session because it exceeded timeout values - which may reflect a problem with client processing (delays from disk reliability or being pushed aside by other processes on the client) or the server timeout values being too low.

Storage Pool Problem
Hi folks, yesterday, my Unix script for reclaiming a local sequential access storagepool ran, but there was something strange: The Reclamation process has finished, now the script should do a update stgp reclaim=100 The update took an hour (until the resource timout parameter has canceld it) and i got the following messages in the actlog: ANR0538I An resource waiter has been aborted ANR2033E UPDATE STGPOOL: Command faild - lock conflict There was no other process accessing the stgpool.

Re: Storage Pool Problem
... ANR2033E UPDATE STGPOOL: Command faild - lock conflict There was no other process accessing the stgpool. ... The lock conflict would not necessarily be associated with the stgpool: to prevent deadlocks, a hierarchy of locks may be employed, and so the conflict may be occurring at a higher level. It would seem that another process or session had set a lock which kept your command from proceeding: you may be able to deduce which one via queries, and re-trying your command as prevailing sessions and processes end.

Re: TDP for SQL backup fails
Richard, what kind of timeout values should I be looking at ? If these values are set globally I cannot see why this one should fail since I'm backing up much larger databases with no problem. Just for reference this database is about 30G large. Yiannakis - You would approach adjustment of server timeout values if your review of the server Activity Log indicated that it terminated the session due to IDLETimeout or COMMTimeout issues. (If your server is using the defaults for these values, I'd recommend boosting them, as the the defaults are too low for ordinary use.) As the old expression goes, the size of the database doesn't matter: what would matter is the responsiveness of the client in its session with the server. We've seen how various things going on in a client at the same time (the classic being virus scanning) can impede progress. Be sure to follow Del's recommendations in looking into other areas for possible evidence of cause. Richard Sims, BU

TDP for SQL Server question
Hi *SM-ers! Our SQL Server department is slowly migrating from TDP for SQL 2.x to 5.2.1. They used to use the version 2 option called Direct Query to restore a database from a different SQL Server node to the target node, but this option is no longer available in the 5.2 version. What's the best way to restore a database from a different TDP node using 5.2? Thank you very much for your reply in advance!

Re: TSM Connectivity issue
Mohan, since your lan is up, because of the ping, you don't have a lan connection problem. This error can occur if the lan connection went down OR if someone canceled a backup operation. try stopping and restarting the scheduler on the client machine. I assume the client is still register to tsm, and is associated with a schedule. Let me know what's up after you complete these actions.

Re: disk and db volume sizes
I talked to a guy at IBM several months back and his suggestions were that you should analyze the number of concurrent sessions that you have going at anyone one time and create an equal number of DB volumes. I usual have about 20 concurrent backup sessions going during my various backup windows so I am in the process of breaking my DB volumes into smaller ones. He told me that this was a thread issue with how TSM talks to the DB volumes (hope I got that part right). As for the log volumes, I was told this is like a paging file, make one large one.

No Userids for Web Client
In registering over 600 nodes for TSM, we registered them with userid=none. Years later, we now wish to implement the web based backup strategy, but that requires that each node have a userid. Is there anyway to update the existing nodes with userids? The update node command does not have that option. Renee Davis University of Houston
Re: disk and db volume sizes
For storage pools, TSM will create a thread (concurrent I/O ) for each of the storage pool volumes, if you have that many sessions going. So again, if you have a lot of physical disks for the storage pools, you spread the storage pool volumes across those disks. However, in this case it's all problematic - if you are talking 1 big raid-5 array, and 1 channel, it's all very problematic. You will get a write penalty on the RAID-5, and the storage pool I/O will conflict with the log and DB I/O. So you need to think about how many TOTAL I/O operations you've got going on, and keep it down to a smaller number, maybe the number of physical disks in the RAID group, dunno. If you are connected to a Shark (IBM ESS) or EMC disk with GB of cache memory in front of the disk, you can pump a cazillion IO's/sec into those things - more than your Windows server can send, so it won't matter much. Anything less, I'd say if you are worried about performance, you should split off some of the physical disks into raid-1 for the DB. But, with only 1 channel, it's unclear whether that will help. You can find many, many permutations of this disscussion in search.adsm.org. -Original Message- From: French, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 2:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: disk and db volume sizes I talked to a guy at IBM several months back and his suggestions were that you should analyze the number of concurrent sessions that you have going at anyone one time and create an equal number of DB volumes.

Is it better to have one big volume (500GB example) or 5x100GB. Here we are talking around 1TB of RAID5 size on Win2k server. All volumes would reside on the same RAID 5 array and on 1 channel on IBM 4MX 160 RAID controller. Same question for db volumes; size of volume vs. number of volumes.

Re: disk and db volume sizes
I talked to a guy at IBM several months back and his suggestions were that you should analyze the number of concurrent sessions that you have going at anyone one time and create an equal number of DB volumes. I usual have about 20 concurrent backup sessions going during my various backup windows so I am in the process of breaking my DB volumes into smaller ones. He told me that this was a thread issue with how TSM talks to the DB volumes (hope I got that part right). As for the log volumes, I was told this is like a paging file, make one large one. Michael - You got some good advice... If you do a SHow THReads, you will see as many LvmDiskServer threads as there are DB and Recovery Log volumes, which gives you that parallelism. You get the most benefit if, ideally, each each volume were a physical disk, so that each would have its own arm, not having to reposition the arm for other things. With today's more abstracted disk technology, that's elusive. With large physical volumes, you partition to make volumes. There is obviously no arm advantage here, but the basic advantage of partitioning pertain: it isolates the effects of a surface fault, which then affects only that partition instead of the whole disk, if it were unpartitioned. This makes it far less painful and time-consuming to swap that LV out of a mirrored set and swap in one of those nice replacement LVs you have set aside. It's sad that the TSM Performance Tuning Guide fails to make any mention of all this. Richard Sims, BU
Re: No Userids for Web Client
The userid is not part of the client definition. (If you don't believe me, try: q node xxx, f=d). When you specify a userid during registration, in addition to registering the node, it creates an admin id. So for node 123456, which already exists: register admin 123456 password grant authority 123456 authority=owner node=123456 But you probably don't want to really do that. Who is doing the web based backup? If it is a PERSON who is going to be driving the backup for , say, server8 and server9 and server10, it's easier to register that PERSON as admin, and grant access authority to server8, server9, and server10. Then that person uses 1 id to do web backups restores. Hope that helps... -Original Message- From: Renee Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 2:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: No Userids for Web Client In registering over 600 nodes for TSM, we registered them with userid=none.

Re: Dwindling Performance
Oh, how I love quoting directly from IBM manuals: If the value falls below 98%, consider increasing the size of the database buffer pool.

Recently one of the nodes was discontinued and the database backups were not delete by rman before it was discontinued. FYI - We can't get this node back. It I delete the filespaces that are assoicated with this node will it only delete the filespaces that are assoicated with this node or will it try to delete all filespaces under the filespace name.

Re: Dwindling Performance
snip Memory is so cheap that you can afford to throw lots of it at it. I'm running TSM 5.1.8 on Win2K with 2G RAM. Hi Dwight, I wanted to throw out one note of caution. I completely agree with Roger: memory is too cheap to rob your system of it! However, you said you are running your TSM server on a Windows 2000 box. Remember, Windows limits application memory space to 2GB. This can be increased to 3GB with a startup option at the expense of some operating system memory spaces. (i.e. use it carefully!). Thus, you cannot allocate all 2GB to bufferpool cache as TSM still needs additional space for object creation, I/O buffering, and its own execution. We have found that we could only safely allocate 512-768MB to the bufferpool. If we incerased it beyond that, TSM would dump (go down HARD) when under load. While our DB is rather small (20GB - 40% utilized) we still get a hit of 99.9%. Other options are: Use different OS, use an Itanium-class server, talk IBM into adding AWE support when they write/compile TSM for windows (least likely I think 8) ).

Hi ITSM'rs, I apologize if this has been asked before. I'm not a SAN engineer and find it very frustrating when trying to navigate the many support matrix lists offered by all the SAN switch vendors. I currently have 14 3590E's connected to a Connectrix E64M director using Adic Gateway 3000 switches. The Adic switches have been very unreliable and I don't think they are still sold/supported. I'm looking for a replacement for the Adic switches. In particular I'd like to know if anyone is using Mcdata 4500 Sphereon's successfully with Connectrix in this kind of configuration. I'm not certain but I believe the Connectrix E64M is actually a Mcdata switch. If anyone is using any kind of switch successfully in a like configuration I'd like the particulars.

Re: 4.2 Server README file
I'm trying to locate the 4.2.1.15 README file from the TSM server package. Start at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ and follow into the TSM Patches directory, where it's to be had under AIX server, at least. Richard Sims, BU
Re: TDP for SQL Server question
Eric, You no longer need direct query because when you enter the TSM Server using the NODENAME that contains the backup, the SQL Server name will automatically appear in the tree view. In other words, DP for SQL will query the TSM Server for all backups under the NODENAME as opposed to just the SQL server that you are running DP for SQL on. Thanks, Del Hi *SM-ers! Our SQL Server department is slowly migrating from TDP for SQL 2.x to 5.2.1. They used to use the version 2 option called Direct Query to restore a database from a different SQL Server node to the target node, but this option is no longer available in the 5.2 version. What's the best way to restore a database from a different TDP node using 5.2? Thank you very much for your reply in advance!
Re: 4.2 Server README file
How about looking here: ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/patches/server/Solaris/4.2.1.15/TSM42115S_Sun.README.SRV Ted At 08:00 PM 1/15/2004 -0600, you wrote: I'm trying to locate the 4.2.1.15 README file from the TSM server package. I need to find the latest supported version of IBMTape for Solaris at that revision of TSM Server. Support tells me they can't give me that information. If anyone has it or knows it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Re: 3590 FC
Hello Rod, We are using 3590E's with EMC 24M2's(Mcdata Sphereon 4500) which are ISL'd to a 64M director. Basically the configuration you are considering and we haven't had any problems with the 24M2's. Jeff Connor National Grid USA -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rh Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 8:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 3590 FC Hi ITSM'rs, I apologize if this has been asked before. I'm not a SAN engineer and find it very frustrating when trying to navigate the many support matrix lists offered by all the SAN switch vendors. I currently have 14 3590E's connected to a Connectrix E64M director using Adic Gateway 3000 switches. The Adic switches have been very unreliable and I don't think they are still sold/supported. I'm looking for a replacement for the Adic switches. In particular I'd like to know if anyone is using Mcdata 4500 Sphereon's successfully with Connectrix in this kind of configuration. I'm not certain but I believe the Connectrix E64M is actually a Mcdata switch. If anyone is using any kind of switch successfully in a like configuration I'd like the particulars.
