ANR2020E QUERY CONTENT: Invalid parameter - NAMETYPE and Other one is CODETYPE
Dear All, I have just installed TSM Extended Edition 5.2.2. Taken a backup and even restored it. While I am trying to Query the contents of a storage pool volume I am getting this error ANR2020E QUERY CONTENT: Invalid parameter - NAMETYPE ANR2020E QUERY CONTENT: Invalid parameter - CODETYPE Whereas the same in TSM Standard Edition 5.2 was working. Yes I understand there is some required combination like Filespace and File Space Nmae Type and File Space Code Page Type. In File space i put \\tivoli\d$ as seen in Clients' file spaces. leaving the rest default as: FileSpace Name type = Server FileSpace Code page type = BOTH The error: ANR2020E QUERY CONTENT: Invalid parameter - NAMETYPE appears when i don't give the filespace. The error: ANR2020E QUERY CONTENT: Invalid parameter - CODETYPE appears when i give the filespace. Please help!

Re: System out of Memory error resoreing 170,000 files

Are -all- of them unlimited? Specifically, have you uncapped -all- of - memory size - data segment size - stack size - VM size ? I often find I've uncapped only some of those. I've also had some problems where I had to reset root's limits, and then re-log-in, to make those limits effective.

Problem with 3582 on Solaris 9
Hi all I am having a bit of an arm wrestle getting TSM to write to LTO2 drives in a 3582 library. Config as follows: TSM 5.2.2.0 (also tried 5.2.0.0) Solaris 5.9 Direct fibre attached to 2 drives. Drive firmware 38D0 (latest on web) IBMtape (latest on web dated 19 May) Problem description: When trying to label tape, library mounts tape in drive, rewinds tape, and unloads it without appearing to write to it. TSM reports I/O error with KEY, ASC and ASCQ all zero. TSM then reports that the volume has been labeled and even checks it in. q libv shows volser present as scratch. Backup attempt fails exactly the same as label libv attempt. Drive entries in output of dmesg command seem to be correct. Have tried all 8 /dev/rmt options eg. 0st,0stc, etc. All fail Have also tried with and without the TSM Device Driver. Even tried configuring drive as manual and manually load tape. Still fails. The strange thing is that write and read back using TAR command works fine on both drives. Hair being depleted. Any ideas Regards, Steve Hartland Lechabile Storage Solutions 0824645461

Re: Problem with 3582 on Solaris 9
Just ideas... If tar works and TSM doesn't, that could indicate your ELEMENT addresses are wrong. That is, TSM thinks /dev/rmtx is drive 1, so it mounts the tape in drive 1, but AIX is looking for the tape on drive 0. Do a Q DRIVE * F=D, make sure the element addresses are correct. The other thing I have seen cause weird I/O errors is the driver for the HBA. I am clueless about Solaris hardware, but I know that on Windows, the HBA drivers are separate code and are not provided with IBMTAPE. Check to make sure you have the latest level of driver for the HBA, AND that it is set up for point-to-point or switched fabric, not artitrated loop.

Re: Way to get Ip number ...
Richard, Here is an example: ... TCP/IP Name: ECHNATON_GYN TCP/IP Address: ... Gerhard - Thanks much for taking the time to prepare the sample. I'm not sure what to make of the empty TCP/IP Address field, which should rightly contain the address of the client node as of the last time that it contacted the server. It might possibly be the case that the client software does not support providing this information to the TSM server, or it is having a problem obtaining it. It might also relate to your anomaly... Sometimes we see the message: 07/16/04 13:06:29 ANR1639I Attributes changed for node GYN.ECHNATON: TCP Ad dress from to 149.148.171.22.

Changing Policy Domains
What are the pitfalls/gotchas/hazards/ROT/suggestions of changing a NODES Policy Domain ? If the node has centrally scheduled backups you will need to copy the schedule to the new domain (unless a suitable schedule exists there already) and execute a 'define association' command to associate the node with its new schedule. You may need to restart the scheduler process or service on the client system. We have consistently found it necessary to do this. Reports from other sites suggest that this is necessary only for nodes with 'schedmode prompted'.
Re: Changing Policy Domains
Thanks for the quick response. I do not understand the scope of lose any associated client schedules ? Do you mean for the node that I am moving to the new PD ? I thought about the MC issue. However, wouldn't this cause issues with everything already backed-up ? I assume it would automagically rebind everything or is this only for new backups ? What would happen do old, inactive backups that are still ticking off the clock due to deleted filesystems, switched systems, etc ?

If the OLD policy domain and the NEW policy domain don't have the same management class NAMES, and the client has files bound to the OLD management class names that don't exist in NEW, you will get some weird messages in the activity log when expiration runs.

Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM?
There are some other faster restore solutions out there. With Virtual Tape Libraries you get all the speed and reliability of D2D but with all the functionality of tape. For example, I happen to work for a company that provides a VTL solution which is certified by IBM-TSM. There is no way to run reclamation on D2D so that must be done once it is transferred to real tape. With a VTL solution, you backup to a virtual tape library and device, run the reclamation on that, which is nearly instantaneous and then copy to real tape via archive and that saves you hrs and hrs of reclamation time. The other benefit is the near unlimited amount of mount points. With backups and restores, the speed of real tape and libraries are not longer your bottleneck. -Original Message- From: MC Matt Cooper (2838) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 11:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM?

Re: Changing Policy Domains
You will have to def assoc to add them to a backup schedule in the new domain. If you want to move the existing data to the new storagepool structure, you will need to do move nodedata NODE from=OLDSTGPOOL to=NEWSTGPOOL for the primary tape pool. Your normal backup stg processing will create the new copies in the copypool tape storagepool. If you want to then get rid of the data in the old copypool stgpool, you will have to delete vol discarddata=yes for each of the copypool tapes that contain data for that node. You will need to restart the scheduler on the node. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/23/2004 11:51:54 AM What are the pitfalls/gotchas/hazards/ROT/suggestions of changing a NODES Policy Domain ? I really need to move some nodes to different PD's so I can move their management classes to use different, non-collocated storage pools ! I can't move the whole PD/MC since there are some heavy-hitters I can't move due to the size of the non-collocated storagepool.
Re: TSM Client V5.2.2.10 for Windows 2000/2003
Just to close the loop with the rest of this list on this: The doc that Melinda and Leif sent me both showed invalid verb received messages, which suggested IC40841. The current APAR description isn't an exact match, but from what I knew about the fix for that APAR, it seemed worth a shot. There were two facets of this APAR to fix. The first facet, which is the pertinent one here, is fixed in 5.2.3.0 (even if the README file doesn't mention IC40841). The second facet (regarding a successful backup message even if the file system processing stopped prematurely), will be fixed in an upcoming interim fix, at which time IC40841 will be shown as fixed. It is my understanding that 5.2.3.0 resolved the problem for Leif (at least initial testing looked promising). If and when Melinda reads this message, perhaps she can indicate her current status as well. But I think this will resolve her problem, too. So for anyone who experiences similar symptoms to those discussed earlier in this thread: try 5.2.3.0.
