Re: tape prob
Hashim, Shukrie asked how to move data from volume 002081 which had multiple read errors without impact on the database Well you can try cleaning the drive, you can try different drives with move data, but if there are real bad sectors on the tape then you will only be able to get any remaining good data off the tape To do that try AUDIT VOLUME 002081 FIX=YES then MOVE DATA 002081 If the volume is readable at all the audit should mark the unreadable files as damaged and the move data should skip the damaged files and move the good data. Then to get the rest of the data follow the advice you have aleady been given. ** The information in this E-Mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Domino Transaction files
Hi , I have 59 transaction files in the Transaction Log directory that have creation dates ranging from 04-Nov-2004 to 17-Nov-2004. It's an unusually high amount. Transaction Log Archiving takes place every 4 hours, without any obvious error. I am aware that the Domino Administrator restored a couple of mail files and activated them applying logs yesterday and the day before. What happens to restored transaction files after activation and logs are applied to mail files ? Are these 59 still around due to some error of some kind ? Can I safely delete them ?

Also check your OS error log for its indications of problems with the volume. If it's a media error, the most you can do is try Move Data a few times, on different, clean drives: many of us have done that with difficult tapes, and gotten a good amount of data off before embarking upon the long-running Restore Volume. Your count of read errors on that 3590(?) tape seems unusually high. Make sure that your 3494 has not run out of cleaning tapes. It's a good idea to periodically inspect the inside of your 3494 to look for dust/dirt accumulation (as I found one time as BG decided it would be a good idea to sand new drywall in the computer room).

Re: linux restore problem
Richard, Mark, thnx for your answers. I tried what you both suggested. restore /daten/ -subdir=yes and restore '/daten/' -subdir=yes all with the same result. (filespace not found) What I also tried is copy the data (the orginal server is still up) using nfs to the new server and back it up from the new server using a new nodename. If i try to restore now it works just fine. I inspected the orginal directory and couldent't really find anything weird. The only thing I can think of is that there is a directory (/daten/public) which is a nfs mount to another server but this has never been a problem in the past.

NDMP Backup Experiences
Everyone, I'm about to implement NDMP backups of our NetApp filer and am looking for tips, gotchas etc... Currently, we backup the filer using CIFS and a mount point on a Windows 2000 server. The performance of this method is painfully slow. It takes about 22 hours to complete an incremental backup of the 3.5 million file system over a 100MB full duplex network. We're hoping the backup and restore performance will improve significantly with NDMP. I've read through the Admin Guide a few times and our setup will indeed support NDMP operations. I plan to use the TSM server to run the library, and share it between the NAS and regular TSM operations. The library is a STK L700 with LTO Gen2 Fibre Channel drives (8 of them). Overall the setup directions seem fairly straight forward. Here are my questions. 1. Am I being overly optimistic? It doesn't seem like it will be that big a deal. 2. Can I expect a significant backup and restore performance improvement using NDMP? Thanks in advance, Curtis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: select from actlog VS query actlog performance
Rather the other way round. The SQL is being converted to a native database call. I would presume most query commands would be quicker than their equivalent SQL queries. For tuning SQL queries you can look at the indexing of the columns in a table: select tabname, colname, colno, index_keyseq, index_order from columns where tabname='ACTLOG' TABNAME COLNAME COLNO INDEX_KEYSEQ INDEX_ORDER -- -- -- --- ACTLOG DATE_TIME 1 1 A ACTLOG MSGNO 2 ACTLOG SEVERITY 3 ACTLOG MESSAGE 4 ACTLOG ORIGINATOR5 ACTLOG NODENAME 6 ACTLOG OWNERNAME 7 ACTLOG SCHEDNAME 8 ACTLOG DOMAINNAME9 ACTLOG SESSID 10 ACTLOG SERVERNAME 11 Here you can see it is only indexed on DATE_TIME. Other tables have more indexed columns. Running functions on where clause columns may well cause the query to do a full table scan anyway (not using the index.) but that's just a guess. (I notice that you are using process=1234 in your where clause, so maybe you have a later release of TSM, I'm on 5.1 and don't have that column!) Remember as well that SQL queries use the free space in your database, so make sure you have plenty if you're doing big queries.

Re: NDMP Backup Experiences
NDMP was much faster for total throughput for us when compared to a full backup. Remember what is backed up via NDMP must be restored via NDMP. So for you DR plan you need to ensure you have a NetApp device to restore to at your DR site. Make sure you run some restore tests and see how you restore to an alternate NAS filer. Remember you can pick alternate location and then browse to a windows share somewhere. The incremental restore from a NDMP backup works as advertised. The bests advice I can give is the most practical, make sure you run a bunch of backup and restore tests.

Re: select from actlog VS query actlog performance
BEGINT=-08:00 starts searching the activity log as of 8 hours from the present time (as opposed to the default, which is 1 hour from the present time). Leave out the '-' if you really mean 08:00 (8:00 AM). The raw TSM server database tables are not row-column format, but more like a B-tree, and were not originally designed to support SQL. The only methods for interrogating the database were those provided by the QUERY commands (QUERY ACTLOG, QUERY FILESPACE, etc.). The QUERY commands are optimized for accessing the raw tables of the TSM database, and thus perform quite well. Because customers wanted more query flexibility than what the TSM server already provided, and creating individual QUERY commands for each possible query was not practical (effectively an unbounded list), the SQL interface was created. The tables presented by the SQL interface are not those of the raw internal TSM tables; rather, they are virtualized versions of the internal tables that are created dynamically when you run the SELECT command (hence the need for available space in the database to run SELECT). While SELECT gives you more flexibility in the types of queries you can run, those queries tend to run more slowly.

TDP SQL - 'set backups' / out of sync TDP backups
Guys, To begin, a familiar story for many of you I'm sure - we have a customer who has MSSQL databases, and wants TDP backups going back a month or so. Easy, bread and butter stuff. Happy with this, they want their backups from every Friday to be retained for 4 weeks, and from every 4th Friday to last for 7 years. As the TDP stores the SQL backups in a backup copygroup, we don't have that level of flexibility easily built in to the tool to provide what is essentially more of an 'archive' type request. The normal response at this point is to 'use different node names - ABC123_WEEKLY or ABC123_MONTHLY', and this is indeed what I have done frequently before. However, I can't help feeling this isn't quite perfect, having to make our non TSM savvy client (on a remote site) faff around with different node names and explain to them why TSM has to be handled in this way. It's not that big a deal really, but I'm aiming for simplification here. Now, my question is whether anyone is achieving the fulfilment of such requirements in another way, for example using 'set backups'. According to the docs, 'set backups are intended to be used in unusual one-of-a-kind situations [...] Because set backups are always uniquely named (like log backups), they do not participate in expiration due to version limit [...] The reason for using a set backup is if you do not want the backup to be part of your normal expiration process.' Sounds like a possibility - anyone using these already? We've a similar requirement coming in for Informix backups - again, from what I've seen of ONBAR so far, having out-of-sync weekly/monthly/yearly backups could be a challenge when using the same node name. With Oracle backups, we've managed to overcome this by customising the RMAN backup piece tags, and expiring manually from RMAN based upon these to identify logs, weekly and monthly backup pieces etc - works very smoothly indeed. Your thoughts, especially on a Friday afternoon, are always much appreciated :O) Rgds, David McClelland Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant Operations Backup and Recovery Projects Shared Infrastructure Development Reuters 85 Fleet Street London EC4P 4AJ --- - Visit our Internet site at http://www.reuters.com Get closer to the financial markets with Reuters Messaging - for more information and to register, visit http://www.reuters.com/messaging Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of Reuters Ltd.

FW: Win2K LANFREE
Folks, OPENTEST environment Server - TSM 5.2.3.0 on AIX 5.2 Client - Win2K with StorageAgent 5.2.3.0 and TDP for SQL 2.2 Library - 3494 ATL with two 3590 drives We're currently testing our upgrade process to 5.2.3.x. I've succesfully done an Oracle LANFree (TSM 5.2.3.0 on AIX 5.1) backup to our newly upgraded TSM test server, so now we're attempting to test the Win2K SQL LANfree node. TDPSQL backups are fine across the LAN, though when we set ENABLELANFREE YES in dsmsta.opt, sessions are started on the server as expected and are visible when the StorageAgent is interrogated (showing in MediaW state), but the these mounts are never fulfilled. The TSM server itself repeatedly mounts and dismounts the requested carts, whilst a query of the storage agent shows the sessions in perpetual MediaW. Running 'q mount' on the StorageAgent shows the sessions as WAITING FOR VOLUME even though the tapes have been mounted by the TSM Server. The volumes are all fine - in read-write status. Ultimately the LANFree backup fails with a SERVER MEDIA MOUNT NOT POSSIBLE message. Everything looks okay in the MMC - two tape devices are visible, the expected WWNs and serial numbers are there too. I'm stuck! Besides using the Wintel box for firewood, has anyone got any ideas? 11/19/04 12:24:30 ANR1404W (Session: 763, Origin: SQLTTLTSBDC1067_STA) Scratch volume mount request denied - mount failed.

Tape Volume States

Windows PASSWORD and Multiple TSM servers
I have a question about how/where the TSM client stores the PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE password on a W2K box. If a W2K box access multiple TSM servers (e.g. by switching/updating the DSM.OPT file), are the passwords to both TSM servers stored as seperate registry keys so as to not step on each other ? Or will this simply not work ? My problem is this. I need to move a node from one TSM server to another, via EXPORT NODE TO SERVER. The data movement will take a while and this will be done during the Thanksgiving holiday when everyone is gone, since I have to suspend backups during the export. I can remotely access and change the DSM.OPT file, and stop/start the scheduler service (via the TSMManager Agent) but I would not be able to answer the initial password prompt. So, my thought was to connect to the new TSM server, right now, and set the password, but go back to the old TSM server until next Wednesday. Will this work or am I just blowing smoke ???

Client behavior during image backup
We have a client that runs an AIX script to stop Oracle and Apache, do an image backup of a file space, an incrmental of everything else, and then restart Oracle and Apache. Everything usually works correctly except that sometimes when Oracle starts up the file system done by the image backup is R/O; i.e. another process prevented TSM from dismounting the file system and mounting it back R/W. The return code is still 0 and there are no error messages to indicate this is happening. Is there any way to get TSM to report that it couldn't remount the file system? The approach we are going to try is to check the state of the file system before Oracle restarts and if necessary kill any impeding processes and remount the file system. Ideas?

If Domino could not delete these files, an error message was probably displayed by Domino's Recovery Manager.

TSM server start-up under Linux
We have installed a TSM 5.2.2 server under Suse Enterprise Server 8 running on zSeries hardware. The TSM code includes a script named dsmserv.rc which accepts 'start' and 'stop' as arguments in the same way as scripts Suse supplies to control built-in services. The dsmserv.rc script does not include the comments insserv uses to determine the order of execution of start-up and shut-down scripts. We would need to have the DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR environment variable set before dsmserv.rc executed dsmserv (the executable for the TSM server). We also have a home-grown automation script for the TSM server that we want started when Linux comes up. What is the best way to arrange for all of this with minimal risk of breakage from future software maintenance?
Oracle TDP and RMAN
In working with our Oracle DBA's they feel TSM should manage the RMAN Oracle Retentions etc... Is there a Preferred method? If so why? Here's one of our DBA's response when I told them my understanding is that RMAN usually manages the Backup Retentions etc Note on page 85 of the RMAN Backup and Recovery Handbook it says: If you are using a tape management system, it may have its own retention policy. If the tape management system's retention policy is in conflict with the backup retention policy you have defined in RMAN, the tape management system's retention policy will take precedence and your ability to recovery a backup will be in jeopardy. That is why I was leaving it up to the Tivoli retention policy to be used instead of RMAN retention policies. This seems to be in conflict with the comment about TSM having a dumb repository. Thanks for you thoughts... Regards, Charles

As in where the target system does not support the file system type that lived on the source system? (Also: re filespace not found - please supply the full message, including message number.) In case of reiser or an other not-supported file system, you can get tsm client working with it if you create a virtual mount point of it.

Re: Oracle TDP and RMAN
Please read the TDP for Oracle manual. It indicates that that you should have your TSM retention set at 1,0,0,0. Set your Oracle management class with those retentions, and Oracle will handle deletion of unneeded backups. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627 -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hart, Charles Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 4:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Oracle TDP and RMAN In working with our Oracle DBA's they feel TSM should manage the RMAN Oracle Retentions etc...

TSM client for Solaris x86
Has anyone heard if there are plans to release a TSM 5.x client for Solaris x86 to complement the SPARC version? If so, when might that occur? I've heard Sun say that many developers can take their SPARC source code (except perhaps device drivers) and compile a working Solaris app on Intel/AMD. I'm hoping that's true for a Solaris x86 TSM client. Thanks, Lance
