Our TSM is keeping the TDPO backups forever. (Until I delete the filespace completely). I've done the same thing with my management class as per instructions (1,0,0,0). In addition to that I've read that the management class needs to be put in the dsm.opt or dsm.sys files ?? If filespace is not specified, then /adsmorc is used. Within TSM administrator client, I've done a q QUERY ACTLOG BEGINDATE=01/20/2004 BEGINTIME=01:00 ENDDATE=02/06/2004 ENDTIME=NOW SEARCH=adsmorc and seen curious entries in the TSM server activity log.

TSM looks like a DB2.. Is there any information within TSM that i can get to that will let me know more ? It seems like TSM has to know what mgmt class these /adsmorc//backup23983_xx files are bound to. In the TDPO directory, there is a utility called tdposync that claims to sync the TSM store and the Oracle Rman information. I haven't had success in connecting with it yet.

In our case, it mostly works fine, with the shared drives switching between TSM servers via the SCSI reservation mechanism. I say mostly, since the 4.2 server occasionally gets a mount point reserved that requires a TSM restart to clear, and the other hassle is SCSI resets during reboots of the servers (both Solaris, in our case).

Re: Progressive backup methodology
What you are really doing is only incremental bkp, being the first time as full bkp because everything is new to TSM. If you want to keep a node for a year, you can specify password expiration to 365 days. You also will need to consider how many of active/inactive version you want to keep.

3584 IBM LTO2 config with TSM
Experts, I'm getting soon this libr with 8 fibre LTO2 drives. IBM says that from patch panel, back of libr, to SAN switches will be 1 to 1 ratio as far as fibre connection. Meaning I will need 8 ports on SAN switch for this drives. Fine, I can give 4 on one of redundant switch and 4 to another one. Now, 2 TSM servers have to be zoned with these drives and also, any host with LAN-free has be in the same zone in order to see all available drives. Still I'm not convinced about this config, thinking there must be a better way to do this. For example, cascading to a managed hub then connect to LTO drives.

Matt, I would uninstall both clients and re-install them. Start with the base client, followed by the Data Protection for SQL client.

If you are interested, there is a Problem Determination Guide available now that gives you ideas on identifying problems and gathering traces.

Re: How can I approximate capacity of a tape volume if it's still scratch? (you're gonna love this!)
I downloaded and read through the IBM TotalStorage Tape Device Drivers - Installation and Users's Guide and then ran some tests on our supposedly upgraded 3590J cartridges. First, I created a 10.1 gig file and then wrote it to the suppsedly upgraded cartridge with compression turned off. It worked fine so then I ran the append command and tried writing the same file which should have started writing where the first file left off. It failed as it ran out of tape but looks like it was aproximately a 20 gig tape. A qrypart command says that the volume has 1 SDP parttition and it is 19531 meg in size. This should be expected for a normal 3590J cartridge in a 3590E tape drive as 3590E drives can write as much as 20 gig on 3590J cartridges with compression turned off. Second, I took another one of the supposed upgraded cartridges and did just a qrypart command on it and it showed as 1 SDP partition that was 9765 megs in size. After running the erase command, it now shows as 19531 meg in size. It looks like our vendor sold us 3590J cartridges that had never been used in a 3590E drive as the partition size on them was still set at 10 gig instead of the expected 20 gig. So in conclusion, I highly suggest you thoroughly check what your vendors are selling you. Since TSM can use compresson and the tape drives use their own compression, it may be hard to tell just exactly how much capacity a cartridge can hold without running some tests yourself. We're still waiting for an answer on what they think was done to upgrade the 3590J cartridges but so far, out vendor says they bought them from someone else and were told the cartridges were upgraded to hold the equivalent of a 3590K cartridge. Unless I did something wrong, they are ripping people off and I'm sure we went the first. As you can see above, I left out the vendors names. John Forum: ADSM.ORG - ADSM / TSM Mailing List Archive Date: Feb 05, 20:44 From: Richard Sims nobody at nowhere.com 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. 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
Re: How can I approximate capacity of a tape volume if it's still scratch? (you're gonna love this!)
John - Interesting experimental results. Thanks for sharing those. Your posting didn't say whether you ran dsmlabel or Label Libvolume on the J tapes, or whether you took them as provided by the vendor. I always label newly introduced tapes, both to assure having correct labels, and to reset the 3590 VCR data, within your tape drive microcode level. I'd recommend relabeling one of those volumes and then test it. Richard Sims, http://people.bu.edu/rbs

Re: TDPO configuration file locations
Thank you Joseph, While I only have one instance per machine for these particular customers, I do have some others' that have 3-4 instances per machine that would like Rman backups. Changing the filespace name to a sid is very good suggestion. I originally moved the tdpo and dsm files because they were linked and I didn't want them confused with the BA client's files. I will break the link and put them back in thier place so I can give this a try. I have already made the oracle rman node their own separate policy and set the mgmt class to 1-0-0-0. Different instances have different retention policies (within Oracle). Each night I run backup, the backup script sets these retention periods, then does crosschecks, and then deletes the expired sets.

When initiating a TDP backup, the tdpo.opt file is referenced. That calls the dsm.opt which in turn calls the dsm.sys. The tdpo.opt and the dsm.opt should be in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64. (just bin if you're not running 64 bit) The dsm.sys has to be in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 directory. In this directory Break the symlink to /usr/bin. Comment out the Inclexcl statement. Change password access from generate to prompt. I also strongly recommend creating a seperate domain for your database backups as does the manual. Set the management class to 1-0-0-0. You can also set it as the default management class. You should also consider changing the filespace name to something other than adsmorc. In the event that you have multiple oracle instances on the same client, it is much more managable when they each have a unique name. e.g If the database gets put to rest, you can simply delete the filespace for that database. Not so easy if you have 3 or 4 databases all writing to filespace adsmorc. (you set the filespace name in the tdpo.opt file). You will need to create a unique tdpo.opt file for each database.

Re: LTO2 Clean frequency
0Idwela is to set the physicla libarry itself for auto clean and let it handle it. There has been discussion obver the last year about cleaning of LTO tapes. General consensus (and actual resilts) is that cleaning is not used much on them. I have a 3584 with 8 LTO1 drives for two years now, hasn't cleaned once at last check a few months ago. No problems with tapes though. David B.

Domino backups and MAXNUMMP
Are Notes/Domino backups effected by the MAXNUMMP/RESOURCEUTILZATION tuning values ? The daily backups are starting to get tight on time and I would like to try to speed things up. Network is not the issue (private GIG-E) and neither is TSM server CPU utilization/disk.
TSM Server Upgrade from version 5.1.5.0 version 5.1.8.1
Did anybody has known problem on this upgrade? Actually, when I upgraded my server from verison 5.1.5.0 to version 5.1.8.1 the library scratch category code was changed from 1001 to 1002. I defined 1001 fro 3490 tape scratch and I assumed TSM will automatically pick up 1002 as scratch category for 3590. Now after the upgrade the defined 3490 cat was changed to 1002. Any info please?

Re: Domino backups and MAXNUMMP
Zoltan, There is currently no multi-session support for a single instance of Data Protection for Domino. However, one way that some of our customers accomplish the same result is to set up multiple instances of Data Protection for Domino working on different subdirectories in the Domino data directory. We have this documented in a knowledge base article titled: Running multiple Data Protection for Domino domdsmc instances Go to: http://www.ibm.com/us/ Search for: 1114638 Thanks, Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 02/10/2004 04:17:04 PM: Are Notes/Domino backups effected by the MAXNUMMP/RESOURCEUTILZATION tuning values ?

Odd Requirement for ACCESS=READWRITE when doing Checkin LIBV
I am running TSM Server 5.1.8.0 on Win2K Server with an Overland Neo4100 LTO2 tape library. I have a tape storage pool that is used for weekly arhives by one system (direct to tape.) Once an archive is done, I update the volumes to ACCESS=READONLY. I then CHECKOUT the volumes to hold offsite. Today I needed to access one of these volumes, but when I tried to CHECKIN LIBV libname volumename STATUS=PRIVATE, TSM said, ANR8306I 004: Insert LTO volume TSM048 R/W into the slot with element number 448 of library LB1.1.0.5 within 60 minutes; issue 'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready. It did not appear willing to take the volume until I UPDATEd the volume with ACCESS=READWRITE. According to TSM for Window's Admin Guide, Chapter 8, page 129,. Returning Partially Written Volumes to Automated Library Devices, point 2. indicates that either READONLY or READWRITE are acceptable Access states for the CHECKIN operation. Did I make a mistake? Is the manual wrong? Is the message wrong? Is the TSM logic wrong? Or is TSM broken at this level? -- Dwight McCann Computer and Network Technologist, UCSB Info Systems Computing [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://borg.isc.ucsb.edu/dmm/ - office: 805-893-3113
TSM version
Hello, Do you know version of TSM (or version of TDP) that was written in the book Oracle9i RMAN Backup Recovery- Robert G. Freeman, Matthew Hart ? The book was published in October 2002 with 572 pages, ISBN 0072226625. Is it the good book ? Thank, Nghiatd
TSM Code Quality
Hi All, I am just - finally - being allowed to upgrade my TSM server from 4.2 to 5.2. So I'm reading the README and come to the recommendation to run CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS. Now fortunately I was far enough backlevel that I missed all of that issue at the time, but it got me thinking about code quality. Long time subscribers to this list will recall that TSM code quality was somewhat average for the whole of the 4.2 series - well it may not have been in general, but there were a lot of complaints about many aspects of 4.2 and the bugs that bit us all. Compare that with the number of complaints about 5.1 and 5.2 - the traffic has dropped off significantly and we are back to talking about ptfs that have already been raised and configuration and how-to issues. That is a dramatic improvement on the behalf of the TSM code cutters/testers and QA folks. And it deserves some recognition. Well done gang. Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Queensland Health Brisbane, Australia ps just one teensy little gripe - you've got to make the library client backward compatible with the library server - its really hard to test and implement properly when the compatibility is the other way around. *** This email, including any attachments sent with it, is confidential and for the sole use of the intended recipients(s).

3590 drives keep going offline

Re: 3590 drives keep going offline
If the drives are all experiencing hardware problems, I had an instance like this that was driving me nuts.. On unload, one failing drive was not putting the leader back into the tape all the way, but leaving it hang a bit. The tape was ejected enough for the robot to go put it away. The drive would eventually error out, and as the tapes were called for in other drives, the bad tapes that had been put away, were getting eaten by all the other drives! As bad tapes propagated around, all 11 of my drives went offline in a few short hours. Drove the CE out of his mind, until he found the 'one' drive that was causing the problems. If you are getting load errors on all your drives, check the library for tapes with leaders hanging, then go for the first drive that broke. my 2.567 cents. bob On Tue, Feb 10, 2004 at 10:53:18PM -0600, French, Michael wrote: One of my TSM servers has drives continously going offline over the past few days.
