Multithreaded session writes on tape although primary pool is on disk ...
Hi all, I have an AIX client (5.1.6.9, TSM server at 5.2.2.1), which needs to backup it's files as fast as possible, therefore I modified it's dsm.sys to give it Resouceutilization 10. On TSM server this node has max mount points 2, and belongs a domain where primary pool (called diskpool_aix) is on disk. This diskpool has a next storage pool called tapelto1_aix which is collocated, and has no max size threshold. Since I increased this resourceutilization parameter, it looks like the client regularly sends it's backups directly to tapelto1_aix, even initiating two parallel tape mounts, without going thru diskpool ... Activity log looks like this (node name hidden for security reasons): Date/Time Message -- 04/05/04 02:04:48 ANR0406I Session 419574 started for node X (AIX) ( Tcp/Ip X (50490)).

(SES SION: 419575) Off course this is not really what I intended to get : I now have a node monopolizing several tapes with very low occupation, that can't even be reclaimed ... Nothing special noticeable at the same time, except that a migration happenend for this disk pool approximatively 20 minutes later, so it was quiet full. Could that be a reson for such a behaviour ? Any other explanations, ideas ?! Thanks in advance ! Arnaud Brion *** Panalpina Management Ltd., Basle, Switzerland, CIT Department Viadukstrasse 42, P.O.

3494 library with unusable accessor
I came in this morning and found that the accessor in the library was down. I have a call in for service so at least it will be worked on shortly. In the mean time, I can't remember for the life of me how to run the system by hand. I'm running TSM 5.1.6 on win2k. The library has a pair of 3590 drives that are just fine if I can just feed them the tapes that the system needs. I know the tapes that TSM is looking for but I don't remember how to run the system in some kind of a manual mode. I'm sure it can be done Thanks David Tyree Enterprise Backup Administrator South Georgia Medical Center 229.333.1155 Confidential Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

just go to the console and on the far left pull down select manual mode once in manual mode, the drives should indicate what tape to mount and where it currently resides there is also a mount screen that goes up on the console but I generally ignore it and go off the drives Dwight E.

Restoring data after deleting a volume
So I've got a volume that got all sorts of messed up somehow, one that resides in my tapepool. I've tried moving the data from it with no luck - too many errors. Since I should have a copy of this in the copy pool, I should be all set.

Re: Restoring data after deleting a volume
Since I should have a copy of this in the copy pool, I should be all set. So I'm going to delete the volume with discarddata=yes STOP! This will delete all references to the data (in the copy stgpool as well as the primary stgpool volume). You will not be able to recover the data without restoring the TSM database to before the volume deletion... Use the restore volume command _first_. For primary stgpool volumes, use delete volume xxxyyy discarddata=y only as a last resort, after you've exhausted all other options. Ted

Re: Restoring data after deleting a volume
Don't delete it. That will get rid of the copy as well. You need to do a restore volume. Do a help on that. I usually do a preview and find out what tapes I need from the vault first. I mark all the tapes as unavailable so that TSM will not use them. When I get them all in the library I change them to readonly and then do the restore. -- Phillip Ford Senior Software Specialist Enterprise Computing Services Schering-Plough Corp.

AW: Restoring data after deleting a volume
well, DELETE VOLUME is a secure way.. to loose your data. dsmadmc HELP DELETE VOLUME ... If the volume being deleted is a primary storage pool volume, the server checks whether any copy storage pool has copies of files that are being deleted. When files stored in a primary storage pool volume are deleted, any copies of these files in copy storage pools are also deleted. ... ... 1) If you are NOW to restore files from this volume, simply tell TSM the volume is destroyed: UPDATE VOLUME BlahBlah access=destroyed and subsequent DSMC RESTORE will retsore files from backup storage pool (assuming the volumes required are not OFFSITE). After restore use RESTORE VOLUME or RESTORE STG to recreate you primary storage pool volumes. Check the HELP command for more details. 2) Alternatively, if you are afraid not all files from the volume concerned have redundant copy in a backup storage pool, use AUDIT VOLUME first followed with RESTORE VOLUME or RESTORE STG, a n d with BACKUP STG, then goto (1). regards juraj -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Mike Bantz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 05.

Re: Restoring data after deleting a volume
Yup - the move data, submitted something like 7-8 times, has done nothing to help us. Too many errors. LESSON LEARNED: the delete vol was issued before the restore vol. Happily enough, the data on that volume was actually three files that I really really don't want backed up, as they had old mgt class bindings and took up a ton of space, so I only have to get slightly upset with myself. :-) Thanks for the help! - Mike -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hooft, Jeroen Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 9:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Restoring data after deleting a volume del vol disc=yes will not only delete your primary volume but also your copy volume.

Re: Multithreaded session writes on tape although primary pool is on disk ...
Also, remember, (if you are running client compression) that the preallocation performed against the disk will be 100% of how big the file is on your host system. ALSO if you are using TDP/R3 and it is greater than tdpr3 v3.2.0.11 it will clear cache and preallocate at a rate of 110% unless you alter the environment variable that adjusts that overage percentage. So, if you are running 10 concurrent multiplexed sessions each pushing two (2) 4 GB files, that is 4*2*10*1.10 = 88 GB of diskpool space required, even though the files might really only occupy 25 GB of storage pool space due to client compression.

I know that /Truncate is the default, but I actually added this parameter to the SQL 2000 system and still has problem at times. Versions of two systems: 1. SQL 7.0 SP3; TSM BA 4.2.1.20; TDP SQL 2.2.0.01 2. SQL 2000 SP3a; TSM BA 5.1.5.0; TDP SQL 5.1.5.0 I have checked Tivoli site and not found anything. Any ideas? Thanks, David B.

Get rid of damaged files?
After migrating our entire datastore from DLT to LTO2, I have discovered a bunch of damaged files that did not migrate to their new storage pool cleanly. (It's possible they may have been damaged already) I started getting these errors, which I'd never seen before: ANR1330E The server has detected possible corruption in an object being restored or moved. The actual values for the incorrect frame are: magic 53454652 hdr version 0002 hdr length 0032 sequence number 0003 data length 0003FFE0 server id segment id 61393938 crc . ANR1331E Invalid frame detected. Expected magic 53454652 sequence number 0003 server id segment id 61459474. So I started doing some 'audit vol xxx FIX=YES' on the volumes that were mounted at the time I was getting these errors and then retrying the 'backup stg' operation again. This cleared up all but one of the ANR1330E and ANR1331E errors. Now it just skips the files and continues on. I get the ANR1330E and ANR1331E only once, on a volume that I've audited at least two or three times with the FIX=YES option. It seems to me that there's a file that can't be fixed, or even identified. What's going on here? I probably don't care about that file either, can't I just delete it somehow? -ds
Re: Copy storage pool in a SAN
No, it does not work. Per IBM, if you have COPYSTGPOOL defined for a primary Stg Pool and you attempt to perform LAN free backup to this primary Stg Pool, it _should_ queitly revert to LAN path and then write to both primary and copy pools. In reality, this appears to be behaving like this only in 5.2.x. In 5.1.x it does not revert to LAN, but it also does not write to copy stg pool :) Also, it keeps it in secret - no messages, errors, nothing. I am still waiting for the APAR to be opened for this, for the ref my PMR # is 59035,227.

Re: Directory storage pools
TSM's selection for default directory management class for backup isn't quite that sophisticated: it picks the management class whose backup copy group has the longest RETONLY setting. In the case where there is a tie, the management class whose name is highest in collating sequence gets picked. The number of versions kept is not a factor. Thus one gotcha to watch out for with the current selection method is that the default management class could end up going to tape (this has come up in the past on ADSM-L).

Laurent Bendavid [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/05/2004 14:23 Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: Directory storage pools For me, when you backup file tree, all files are backed using your Management Definition in your include/exclude list, but directories use DIRMC as Management Class automatically. If you don't have a DIRMC option, TSM select the best Management Class to backup directories, i.e. Management Class with the longest retention and the greatest version number in your Policy Set. This way is important, if you want to restore a file with its sub directories in every condition. Dan Foster wrote: As per the TSM redbook at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg245416.pdf It suggests use of DISKDIRS and OFFDIRS to store directory information to avoid restore-time directory reconstruction hits. Everything makes sense, including the need to explicitly bind all directories on a client to the DISKDIRS management class with DIRMC. The next question is... *how* do you select ONLY directories for this management class without selecting any files within them, in dsm.opt? (Server is 5.1.8.0 on AIX and clients are 5.1.5.14/15 on Windows, Linux, Solaris, and AIX.) I had also checked the TSM 5.1.5 UNIX client reference from: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/TSMC/GC32-0789-02/en_US/PDF/GC32-0789-02.pdf ...and read through everything referencing include, exclude, dirmc, but it's still not obvious to me how to select only directory data for use with DIRMC DISKDIRS. I see there's a dirsonly keyword, but how to use it within context of dsm.opt? include / -dirsonly -dirmc diskdirs ? -Dan
