Re: Empty tapes not returning to scratch
Ok, I'll show my ignorance. Would the setting of MAXSCRATCH being to low on your default tape pool have any effect? -Original Message- From: fred johanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 1:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Empty tapes not returning to scratch A new variation on an old problem. I've moved a lot of media to the shelf for space reasons. A bonus to using move as opposed to checkout is that when tapes hit empty on the shelf, they do not disappear from the storagepool. I restored 4 such to the tape robot on Friday, checked them into the Library Manager, and updated them to "Mountable in Library", while Pending Reuse is set to 0. And there they sit, and nothing will change the status back to scratch. I've tried "Move Data", "Del vol", "Aud vol", and changing their access to destroyed. Nothing seems to work.

Re: Empty tapes not returning to scratch
Used to see this in 4.2.x all the time --
Move the volume out of the library again and do the move media before you
do the checkin.
It might work to just do a checkout so that the volume is

Re: ans0400e when typing SET WASPASSWORD
Luc, Data Protection for WAS is a "separately" orderable product even though the interface is integrated into the TSM base client. When you purchased the Data Protection for WAS "product", you should have received a CD in the mail that has the installation package containing the required license file.

Backup sets for Linux
We are interested in using a TSM server running under mainframe Linux to generate backup sets on 3590 tape, and subsequently restoring the backup sets using a TSM client running under mainframe Linux. The documentation for the 'restore backupset' indicates that the 'location' parameter is used to tell the client where to find the backup set. The documentation for 'location' includes a section on 'location=tape', which states that "this parameter is valid for Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX clients". This implies that a Linux client cannot restore a backup set from tape. Is this correct? Given Tivoli's track record for poor device support under Linux, it is entirely plausible. On the other hand, given Tivoli's track record for sloppy technical writing, it is entirely plausible that the statement is wrong.

Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM?
To add one more ingredient to the 'it all depends' performance soup - it's not really sequential vs random reads - it's one sequential read stream vs multiple sequential read streams. Depending upon the OS/disk subsystem, read-ahead caching would be performed on each stream and reduce the amount of head movement required. Ken Mueller Magna Carta Companies -Original Message- From: Otto Schakenbos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 9:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM? Food for thought on multiple sessions and filebased backup: If you got 2(or more) virt. tapes on one disk(array) and the client has mounted them both and is pulling data from them this will probarly be slower in throughput then when just reading from one virt. tape at a time since sequantial reading is normally faster (esp. with ata) then random. In other words multiple mount points means the heads of your disk has to move longer distances then when using a single mountpoint. Thats why we have collocation turned on and only allow single sessions on our file type backup pool. maybe we are doing it all wrong anyway... regards Otto Schakenbos System Administrator TEL: +49-7151/502 8468 FAX: +49-7151/502 8489 MOBILE: +49-172/7102715 E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TFX IT-Service AG Fronackerstrasse 33-35 71332 Waiblingen GERMANY TSM_User wrote: >I aggree about not using collocation but this customer has always >collocated everything offsite and onsite.

Re: Restoring the oldest version
If you are restoring into filesystems that are the same size as those that were backed up, this could result in more data being restored than there is space available, as TSM will also restore every file it has backed up that has been deleted from the server. The only way I can think of doing this (off the top of my head) is to process the output of a Q ba /filesapce/* -subdir=y -ina And build a list of candidate files, then restore that using dsmc's -filelist option -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David DeCuir Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 8:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Restoring the oldest version A customer wants restored the oldest version of every fileTSM has for a certain node.

Re: TDP for SQL - VERIFYONLY?
Chris, I remember you asking about this last year as well. You are correct that Data Protection for SQL does not have a "VERIFYONLY" function at this time. To be completely honest we have only heard this request from one or two customers. Since it means that you need to read and restore all of the data from the backup set anyway, many people have decided to just do the actual restore to an alternate server to do a *real* verification that their data will restored and actually see it work, versus a message that says "The backup set is valid." I encourage you to submit an official requirement through your IBM representative that you need this function added to Data Protection for SQL. If the requirement is heard from enough customers, the priority will rise and it has a much better chance of being implemented.

For example: TDPEXCC BACKUP * FULL Data Protection for Exchange will enumerate all of the Storage Groups, and back each one up. There are sample "batch" files included in the product installation directory that give you examples on how to set this up. The User's Guide should help you with this. The sample options file that is shipped with Data Protection for Exchange has the necessary TSM API options, however, you will need to update it to specify the communications options for contacting the TSM Server. The sample Data Protection for Exchange configuration file also has the necessary settings to get this working. Make sure you have Data Protection for Exchange version 5.2.1 (as shown by the information in the CLI output or the About box on the GUI.) Version 5.2.1 is required in order to back up Exchange 2003 properly. There is also an appendix in the User's Guide completely dedicated to setting up Data Protection for Exchange with the TSM central scheduler. If you are having problems getting this working, please provide error messages and/or problem symptoms in your appends to this forum.

Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM?
Food for thought on multiple sessions and filebased backup: If you got 2(or more) virt. tapes on one disk(array) and the client has mounted them both and is pulling data from them this will probarly be slower in throughput then when just reading from one virt. tape at a time since sequantial reading is normally faster (esp. with ata) then random. In other words multiple mount points means the heads of your disk has to move longer distances then when using a single mountpoint. Thats why we have collocation turned on and only allow single sessions on our file type backup pool. maybe we are doing it all wrong anyway... regards Otto Schakenbos System Administrator TEL: +49-7151/502 8468 FAX: +49-7151/502 8489 MOBILE: +49-172/7102715 E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TFX IT-Service AG Fronackerstrasse 33-35 71332 Waiblingen GERMANY TSM_User wrote: I aggree about not using collocation but this customer has always collocated everything offsite and onsite.

We are using 25 GB volumes right now. We are also still collocating the storage pools that use the file device class by node. This has worked out fine for us. Sad to admit but I wasn't aware of the Technical Exchange recommendation. Is there a white paper from that you could refer me to. We are contemplating turning on node compression everywhere to also help reduce disk space. Also, I made mention in a previous post that we were reclaiming down to 50% and that was fine. Well, like always when you make a comment like that it makes you think and they you go look. I found that we were using around 16 TB's of ATA space in all when you look at the "In Use" numbers. When I looked at the actual disk in use it was closer to 21 TB's of data. I am currently reclaiming everything down to 40 and I plan to get down to 25 again. At that point I will compare the numbers and see how much I can reduce the 21 TB's in use. Also somewhat interesting information. We have found that the I/O capabilities of the latest and greatest servers can really help push a lot more data to disk. We have always been told by our disk vendor that the bottleneck wasn't them. We ruled out many things except them. Finally we looked at a more detailed performance monitor of our systems and we found that the we were killing the processor during times when we were pushing a lot of data to disk. With these new servers we see migrations from Fibre disk to ATA disk at over 150 GB/hr. We do have 60 TB's of ATA space though so we have a lot of disks to write to.

Funny, we set ours down to 25% as well just to see what would happen. This worked but we have since set all of the ATA Pools to 50% and we just leave them there. Theoretically what could happen is we could be wasting twice as much space but the fact is the volumes were going from 25% to 50% in a matter of days and when we looked at how many volumes were between 25% and 50% in our environment we determined there was no need to reclaim down that far. From all outward signs there was no issues with reclaiming down to 25% we just didn't think it was worth doing the extra work to get back such a small amount of disk. Disk is cheap, right! lol "Rushforth, Tim" wrote: We've set ours at 25%.

Does any one have any idea how to set this up. I have read the red books and user guide but cannot make sense of it. I need to know what should be in the options file, what exactly should I be backing up (exchange 2003) and how to schedule it. Any information would be great! Thanks in advance
