Re: Get rid of damaged files?

2004-04-05 Thread Karel Bos
Hi,

If you implemeted copy stg pools the "audit vol fix=yes" will only mark the
damaged files as damaged in the database. The restore vol will copy the
damaged files from copy stg pool volumes back into the primary pools and the
volume that countained the damaged files will be returned to scratch if this
were the last objects still on that volume. Then the back up stg pool will
run as planned.

Only do a delete volume when restoring and moving is inpossible.

Regards,

Karel

Onderwerp: 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?

Re: Directory storage pools

2004-04-05 Thread Andrew Raibeck
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).

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.

Re: Copy storage pool in a SAN

2004-04-05 Thread Tantlevskiy,Sergey,GLENDALE,GLOBE Center AMS
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: Get rid of damaged files?

2004-04-05 Thread Coats, Jack
If the volume is otherwise empty, you can do a 'delete vol VOLUMENAME
discarddata=yes'
When you do this, there is no return, so recover all you can first.  I have
this problem
on occasion because I have some LTO-1 media that has either aged, or is bad
out of the box.

Re: TDP SQL Transaction log not truncating

2004-04-05 Thread Joe Crnjanski
I remember having same problem; and yes you are right.
Even if you are doing incremental sql backup; if in between two incremental backups 
you run "reindex", next incremental will be similar in size as full backup. Logically 
this is still incremental only it is too big.
We ended up running reindex weekly ( we run daily incremental and weekly full)

Subject: TDP SQL Transaction log not truncating


I have TSM server 4.2.3.4 on AIX and two clients each running W2K, SP2.

The two clients have SQL server and I use TDP SQL for hot backups
and do log backups of one of the DB's every hour or two.  A FULL
backup of all DB's is done once a day.  I use the sqlfull.smp script
with minimum change for our environment.  Basically:
tdpsql backup dbname log ..

DBA reports that at sporadic times, the log is not truncating after the
log backup and therefore transaction log is getting big.  I see no
errors in tdpsql logs.  Only event DBA could reference to is that 
problem seems to happen after a "reindex" but not always.

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

Re: ?continue using 3590's or convert to LTO tape?

2004-04-05 Thread Luke Dahl
We're keeping our existing 3494 with eight 3590H1A's to handle workstation
and smaller size node backups (being we're heavily invested already).  We've
just ordered and received a 3584 with six LTO2 drives to handle our
increasing demand for offsite media copies as well as large server/node
backups.  We're anticipating approximately 75Tb of growth in the next year
that can be handled much more efficiently and cost-effectively using LTO2
drives and a new library.  I think the answer is probably both, but you
really have to determine on your own being there are a number of variables to
consider (particularly sunk costs).

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 have that problem of folks cranking up their number of concurrent
processes and rolling directly to tape... (sigh!)

Re: Restoring data after deleting a volume

2004-04-05 Thread Mike Bantz
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!

AW: Restoring data after deleting a volume

2004-04-05 Thread Salak Juraj
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).

Re: Restoring data after deleting a volume

2004-04-05 Thread Ford, Phillip
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.

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.

This is a classic situation where the disk pool is undersized relative
to demand: it fills (perhaps helped along by stpool caching overhead)
and TSM rules have the data go to the next stgpool in the hierarchy.
Transaction sizing and client-server size anticipations are also

Yes, you are.

SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL designates which storage pools are primary pool for
DRM, and SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL tells DRM which offsite pools should be
managed by DRM.

Setting a primary tape pool with the SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL will not cause
that primary pool to be treated like a copy pool.

Re: Multithreaded session writes on tape although primary pool is on disk ...

2004-04-05 Thread MC Matt Cooper (2838)
Yes the disk pool being close to full can do it.  TSM will try to
pre-allocate the storage on the disk pool for the file being backed up.
If there isn't space for it, it will pass the backup to the seconday
pool, your tape drives). If I remember this correctly, once the backup
starts going direct to tape it seems to keep doing that.  
There is also a max file size on the diskpool.  If the file, (if
it is through an API it treats the backup as 1 file per SESSION),  is
larger than this value it goes straight to tape.
If you really want to speed things up, increase your MAX MOUNT
POINTS on your nodes definition.

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):

Nothing special noticeable at the same time, except that a migration

Multithreaded session writes on tape although primary pool is on disk ...

2004-04-05 Thread PAC Brion Arnaud
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):
