They will all stay in the same device >class. I've never heard of "upgrading a tape cartridge", and would be curious to have some references to what that's supposed to be about. (It sounds like something one would be offered in spam.) The way we mortals get more data on a tape is by upgrading our drives to higher density; or we switch to longer tapes, such as the 3590K (in concert with drive upgrading to accommodate the handling of thinner tape). To prove the existence of magic in this universe you need to perform a case study: as with any new technology being introduced to your shop, you should prove its capabilities before putting it into production. If you're a 3590 user you need to be well acquainted with the "IBM TotalStorage Tape Device Drivers: Installation and User's Guide" manual (see topic "tapeutil" in ADSM QuickFacts). Give a tape drive over to the test, turn off tape drive compression, and write a controlled amount of data to the tape using the tapeutil command, or even an OS utility like the Unix 'dd' command, trying to fill it according to the capacity you expect it should hold. You will need to consider Devclass values according to what you really have there, which is a mystery to me. There are READMEs and List postings regarding the handling of drive upgrades vs. existing tapes. Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs
Re: MAX_IO_SIZE on AIX
Hello Balanand, There is no parameter per se in Solaris 8 & 9 (the ones that I use). But there are several parameters in Solaris that relate to # of bytes which can be read in a single I/O call. The maxphys kernel parameter limits I/O in the SCSI layer within the kernel. Default is 128k. We are using Solaris Volume manager; within the SVM layer there is a md_maxphys kernel module parameter that limits within that subsystem. If not specified then it defaults to maxphys. There is a corresponding parameter if you are using Veritas volume manager, but I am not sure what it is vxd_maxphys or something. Can someone else confirm ? SD (scsi) devices used the cd module and they describe a sd_max_xfer_size parameter that limits max I/O size within that type of device. Default is 1MB SSD (fibre channel scsi) devices used the cd module and they describe a ssd_max_xfer_size parameter that limits max I/O size within that type of device. Default is 1MB Hope this helps..

How can I approximate capacity of a tape volume if it's still scratch?
We are in the midst of replacing our existing 3590J cartridges with 3590J cartridges that have been (supposedly) upgraded to allow 20/40 gigabyte capacity instead of of 10/20 capacity. I can successfully checkin the new libvolumes but until they actually get used, I have no way of even guessing how much data they can hold. I want to verify that the new 3590J cartridges we just bought have really been upgraded to support 20/40 capacity. Is there a way to force data to goto my new libvolume? Maybe there is a atape (or whatever the AIX command is) command to do this? Since we are replacing existing 3590J cartridges that are labeled 10-100300 with (supposedly upgraded) 3590J cartridges with the same labels, do I have any potential problems in store other than removing a libvolume that still has data on it? They will all stay in the same device class. TIA, John

LTO1 and LTO2 drives in a 3584
Last week, I added a fourth frame onto our 3584, along with 4 new LTO2 tape drives. I have not defined the new drives in TSM yet, because I'm still trying to find out the best way to run in a mixed LTO1-LTO2 environment. I've read that in version 5.2.X you do not have to logically partition your library to use both drives, but I'm still confused about whether I will need to set up separate device classes and storage pools. All of my media is LTO1. Can I simply set my existing device class format from "DRIVE" to "ultriumc", define the new drives, and just let things rip? All I really want to do is let the LTO2's perform like LTO1's since I'm not using any LTO2 media. Is anyone running a mixed LTO1-LTO2 environment? If so, how are you doing it? Any help or advice is much appreciated!
TSM 5.2.2.1 OR -no report displayed
We installed the new stand-alone TSM console on a Win2K pro system and had no problems getting the Operational Reporter to generate the default dailiy report. Displays fine in the MMC console window. We installed the TSM console on another Win2K pro system; set it up the same way. When we try to run the Operational Reporter daily report, NOTHING comes back to the MMC console window - not even the "WORKING" message. Checking the TSM activity log, we can see the SQL selects were executed, and the .htm file for the daily reports is created (correctly) in the local /console directory, it just never displays in the window. "allow access to everyone" was checked during the install. The two systems are the same level of Win2K pro, and have the same level of IE - is this a java thing? I looked in the README and can't find any place where it documents the level of Windows/browser things requried - can anybody point me to the right thing to read? Thanks

TSM and PowerPath Volume Manager on Solaris
To *, I have a Sun OS 5.8 / TSM 5.2 client exhibiting strange behavior. All non-system volume groups (VGs) are not getting backed up with a "regular" incremental, TSM sees the directory mount point but that's it, nothing except for the directory stub gets backed up. All files associated with the system VG (i.e. rootvg in AIX terms) and being backed up correctly (i.e. the "inc" is examining all subdirectories and their contents). If i do and incremental and explicitly reference the non-system VG filesystems (i.e. inc /apps) then everything works fine The non-system VGs were created using EMC's PowerPath Volume Manager. Has anyone had any experience with this volume manager? Has anyone experienced similar symptoms on a SUN box?? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Re: TSM 5.2 performances on AIX 5.1
Hi Madalina, unfortunately no one is going to be to tune your servers through email. Your issue is that AIX and TSM all have the default settings. I don't think anyone should be surprised that is not optimal. What you need to do is establish a perf and tuning methodology. Establish a base line - which you might have already done. Make a change. Run the same test and see what affect it had on the performance. There are so many different combinations of tuning parameters that it would be rare to find some one with an environment exactly like yours. Find a copy of the AIX 5 perf and tuning guide and a TSM perf and tuning guide.

Re: TSM 5.2 performances on AIX 5.1
Ahh, so this is a fresh install. The suggestions about checking out the NIC and switch configurations are a good. I suggest doing an FTP between the 2 hosts to see if your issues are at the OS or TSM level. If your FTP is about as slow as TSM backups, then it is likely that your network devices are not agreeing on the negotiation speeds, and might have ended up in half duplex. The "entstat" command is helpful in seeing what the card is set to and what speed it's actually working at.

David - "You Don't Need To Know". :-) The server subdivides its work among a variety of worker threads, some of which are termed "agents". The 'SHow THReads' command will give you a sense of the various areas. From what little I know, the server has some general time-based lookaround (housekeeping) tasks, which look around every so often to see what general things need doing, as well as specialized tasks to work on certain areas. Suffice to say that its internals will take care of such things. Richard Sims, http://people.bu.edu/rbs
Re: predefined backup
Sure. Use the command line version of the TSM client, dsmc. Put it in a .bat file with a shortcut on the Windows desktop. We call ours "one-button backup", and it's a .bat file with these contents: -- c: cd c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient echo "+" >>dsmsched.log echo "+" >>dsmsched.log echo "+" >>dsmsched.log echo "starting one-button-backup %DATE% %TIME% " >>dsmsched.log echo "++ ++" >>dsmsched.log dsmc incremental >>dsmsched.log "dsmc incremental" does a complete incremental backup, same as if you used the scheduler. You can, of course, change it to dsmc "yourdesiredfilespec" to backup just selected files/directories. The dsmc command and it's parameters are documented in the TSM Windows Client Installation and Use manual.

Re: DRM QUESTION
DRM server to server functionality is really just electronic vaulting; the secondary TSM server cannot just "take over" from the primary. The primary server's data base is the ONLY one with the information/metadata that is required to restore data from the copy pool tapes. So you have to somehow recreate the primary server functionality by restoring it's data base to another machine. Now you could do that by setting up a second INSTANCE of TSM on your secondary machine, or do it on another machine at your secondary site. Hope that helps. -Original Message- From: tsmadmin account for Excaliber Business Solutions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 8:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DRM QUESTION Importance: High Hi ALL Need info if I am using server to server functionality.

Netware upgrade to 6.5 and TSM client upgrade 5.2.2
Hi Gang, wish I could repay you guys for all your help you have given me in the past, but once again, need some help please. We have just upgraded our NetWare servers to 6.5. In the process, we are also upgrading the TSM client to 5.2.2. The backups seem to be running ok, but I am getting a "Sytem program Error" that I can't find a answer to. Below are my logs from a Client we just upgraded both the OS and the TSM client. You will see after the Jan. 3rd backup, that we start seeing a lot more errors, which most are just open files. But in both the DSMerror.log and the dsmsched.log, you will see the System program error. I will also include my Dsm.opt file as well.Thanks for all your help... Thanks, Mark Hayden Informations Systems Analyst E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dsm.opt Description: Binary data DSMSCHED.LOG Description: Binary data DSMERROR.LOG Description: Binary data

incremental DB2 restore
Hi all, we are trying to do a db2 incremental restore through TSM. We managed to make a full backup and an incremental backup on a databse. The restore of the full database backup is also working. Our problem is the restore of the incremental backup. The restore commend is succesfull, but, in fact the database is inconsistent. We are said "An oldest version of the restore isn't finished yet" Has anyone ever done this?

AW: predefined backup
Hi, its is perfect possible using the command line client. The simplest command to start is "dsmc incr" or, if you would prefer to offer more classical way of backup, "dsmc arch d:\path\*" You probably want your users only have clicked on an icon, so you can prepare one pointing to for example CMD.EXE with Parameter "/C c:\programs\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmc.exe incr" and working directory set to c:\programs\tivoli\tsm\baclient. You are supposed to have read the manuals first, there are tons of options related to this, like whether to backup subdirectories or not - so be sure to set it up right way. regards Juraj Salak -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Morten Kongsted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 05.

Re: Strange orphaned objects
Hi Thomas! The problem is that these nodes all running old TDP versions and they cannot be upgraded easily. Anyway, TDPOSYNC wouldn't help me here either, because it only removes objects from TSM when there are no entries for those objects in the recovery catalog and for a lot of them there are! Our Oracle department is now checking the recovery catalog to see how many old backups there are. Thanks!

You might want to try breaking your queries up into smaller search patterns by maybe querying all nodes that begin with the letter "A" then "B" and so forth and then run these scripts over the course of serveral days to minimize impact on the server. Having said that, I do not know what the side effect of this kind of query - in other words, will the TSM Server query for all high level "//" and then filter out the results based on node names or will it filter on node names first.

To the best of my knowledge, Filling volumes are subject to reclamation just as much as Full volumes are: it's just a matter of the combined size of the "holes" in the volume's thus-far-written area. Remember that there's no guarantee that you will never have more than one Filling volume for a given stgpool: multiple processes may cause there to be multiple volumes in Filling state. This can eventually cause a Filling volume to be just hanging around, unused for a long time; and the Filling volume could be 98% written. You want such stuff reclaimed.
