Client return codes 4 and 8 - Can I safely ignore them?
We are currently implementing Tivoli Sotage Manager and I want the simplest method to check for client errors for scripting purposes... We've had a number of return code 4 (File not found) and return code 8 (Session lost - Session reestablished) errors. These don't seem to be important, and I feel I can consider them to be warnings. Are there any reasons that I may get a return code of 4 or 8 that really is an error which has effected the usefulness of the backup? Many Thanks, =Adrian=
Re: Client return codes 4 and 8 - Can I safely ignore them?
'Session lost - reestablished' errors are important, especially if occuring repeatedly. They can extend the backup times greatly also. We have seen session lost errors where the MAXSESSIONS values were to low on either the TSM server or the Storage Agent.

Re: 3584 Tape Library issue (maybe)
How do you have the drives setup inside of TSM... Do you autodetect or do you put he serial numbers in. If you use serial numbers then check to see if the drives are in the right order Lsdev -Cc tape Then do a lscfg -v rmtX to get the serial number and then match it up with the correct order of drives -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Reiss Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 5:17 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: 3584 Tape Library issue (maybe) I got a weird problem. This is a shot in the dark, but I'm going to ask all the kind-folks on the Adsm mailing list a weird question. Maybe someone out there will have some ideas. Please bare in mind that we do have a PMR open with TSM support, a service call with IBM Hardware CE's, and with Brocade. It appears that we've tracked the problem to the 3584's. but not positive about that yet. About every 2-4 days we have to power cycle all the drives, or at least a good subset of them, in our 3584 libraries. Both of the 3584's are four frames each, and each has 27 LTO2 drives. The tape SAN consists of two Brocade M14's. Each drive is plugged into the M14 directly. (Not into another edge switch). We thought that there might be a bad connection between the two M14's, but we disabled the system boards that were giving us some issues in both last week. Then today the issue happened again. The TSM Server (library managers) that run the two libraries are both at v5.2.4, on AIX 5.2 ML4. There are about 15 TSM library clients that talk the respective library managers, as well as somewhere around 50 storage agents as well. All are current TSM levels. We are at the latest firmware on all the drives and the libraries as well now.We are at Atape 8.4.9.0 . Today, when the problem was happening we also (using the 3584's web interface, so TSM was not involved) wouldn't eject tapes from the libraries to empty slots from the tape drives in frame four on one of them. It told me that there weren't any empty slots to put the tape into. But I could move the tape from that drive, to drive 1 in frame 1, and then it would eject it to an empty slot like normal. It did this with five tapes. The two things we have done to temp. fix the issue has been: 1. Restarting the TSM library Managers. 2A. Power cycling the drives. Sometimes just the two drives that are the control paths into the library, 2B. and sometimes it appears to need every drive power cycled. Since I was having trouble with ejecting tapes earlier and TSM was not involved in that scenario, I am inclined to think that TSM really isn't part of the root problem, but that it some how gets confused and needs to be restarted at times in order to, shall we say, clear its head. Because it seems to affect the library even when not talking to TSM or AIX, I don't think upgrading the Atape driver to whatever 9.X.X.X version is out there would fix the problem. But I'm open to arguments that say I'm full of it there. Does anybody out there have any ideas? Thank you, David N. Reiss Unix/TSM System Engineer Caterpillar, Inc. (309)/494-3749

However, if no files change under system32 then it will not back it up. So it is somewhat incremental but not a true incremental where only the files that changed are backed up. Prather, Wanda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:..seems like the DB is growing faster than it use to and I'd like to prevent rapid growth once the others are included. It's my understanding that all of the SYSTEMOBJECT files are backed up with every backup(incremental). Yes, that is true. Until you get to Win2003, then I believe it is supposed to be a true incremental of those files, but I haven't verified that. Is it more efficient/better to have ntbackup backup the SYSTEMOBJECT to a file before the TSM backup, then have TSM backup this file nightly with the regular TSM backup? Many people do that. It means only 1 file gets backed up by TSM, therefore the impact on your DB is less. Is there any problem with recovery of the machine using this method(ntbackup then TSM)? No. Is there any advantages/disadvantages to using this method? Advantages: Less impact on your TSM DB I have never run into this, but if your restore fails, you only have Microsoft to deal with, no finger pointing since only Microsoft tolls are involved. Disadvantages: How are you going to verify that it is working? You have to visit each machine and set up a scheduled task to do the ntbackup. If the ntbackup piece fails, TSM isn't going to be able to tell you. Also, you have to train OTHER people in your shop on how to do the 2-step restore if you aren't around; restore the flat file from TSM, then do the ntrestore Generally how many files does the SYSTEMOBJECT backup contain? Depending on the machine, 1800-2000 FWIW: Here's what I would suggest as the easiest solution. You are keeping your client backups for 90 days, but I persionally would never want to restore a Windows registry that is 90 days old! You can assign the SYSTEMOBJECT to a different management class than the other files. (Look in the TSM for Windows client manual for INCLUDE SYSTEMOBJECT ALL). So create a management class that only keeps 14, or even 30 days worth of your SYSTEMOBJECT backups, while retaining other stuff for 90 days. That requires changes nowhere but in the TSM Server, and greatly limits the growth of the SYSTEMOBJECT files in your TSM DB. Wanda Prather I/O, I/O, It's all about I/O -(me) - Do you Yahoo!?

Deleting AFS backups on TSM when using afsbutc
Good morning. This is all kind of new to me. We use to backup our AFS volumes with afsbuta(had client node called afsbuta) and the backups ran a full every 12 weeks and incremental in between. In TSM I would see a dump ID for each of the backups(in filespace) and when it came time to delete them I could just go into the node in TSM, click on File Space Name, see all the backup(dump ID's) and delete the ones I wanted to delete. With afsbutc which they started to use for our AFS backups I do not see the dump ID's for each of the backups, I only see 1 filespace which contains all the backups done so far. My question is how does the data get removed from the TSM server when the dump id is deleted in AFS. Is there some way to do it in AFS with deleted dumpid so it deletes it from AFS and TSM. I want to make sure we don't just delete the dump id's from AFS. We are running on AIX 5.2 TSM 5.2.2 and we now running at AFS 3.6 patch 9 Thanks for all the help, Have a Great Day, Eric
Controlling the nic/IP selection of multi-homed AIX TSM server
TSM AIX server - 5.2.3.5 I think I know the answer to this question, but I figured maybe good discussion might evoke some thought on the subject. Our primary TSM AIX server has 2-nic/addresses.an internal 192.168.x for GIG-E speed on local boxes, and an external 128.172.x for outside the data center access. We have some TSM clients that are tightly locked down, complete with static routes, etc. The problem (as I understand it) is with the TSM server and how it selects which IP address to talk to the clients. On this problematic client (and more to come), when it contacts the TSM server for the schedule, it uses its internal 192.168.x connection. However, when the TSM server tries to tap the client to perform the backup, it uses its 128.172.x nic/address, which the client then refuses to recognize/accept/connect to. Is there any way to get the TSM server to contact a client on the same nic/IP the client used to contact it, from the server perspective. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. So far, the only thing we came up with is to change the client SCHEDMODE to PROMPTED.

pkill is bad, perhaps you should create a batch job and run dsmadmc to
halt the server...
I don't know why the installation bothers with inittab. From SunOS 5.3
to 5.9 the use of rc scripts is the preferred method. In SunOS 5.10 this
changes drastically though.
2. Periodically I can't connect to TSM through web-interface or admin
command-line. But dsmserv is runned on server. No errors in dsmserv.err

Never seen this though. Proxy browser problems?

Joni,
The -displaymode=table option should give you the desired format (that is
the specific purpose of this option).
Your note suggests you omitted the -ID and -PASSWORD options.
It would help if you would post (via copy paste) the actual command you
issued along with the results, so we can see what you are seeing.

Re: select statement: help!
Hi Joni,
You don't need the quotes around the SELECT statement. Also, when
specifying the complete command in batch mode, I don't think using the
hyphen (-) for command continuation will work, since it is the OS command
line processor that sees the hyphen, not the admin client.
Try putting your SELECT statement into a separate text file called, for
example, select.macro:
select entity as node_name, date(start_time) as date, -
cast(activity as varchar(10)) as activity, -
time(start_time) as start, time(end_time)as end, -
cast(bytes/1024/1024 as decimal(6,0)) as megabytes, -
cast(affected as decimal(7,0)) as files, successful -
from summary -
where date(start_time) date(current_timestamp - 1 day) and -
(entity like 'HM%' or entity like 'PAB%' or -
entity like 'VMS%' or entity like 'GEOHMKLG%') and -
activity='BACKUP' order by successful
Then invoke the macro like this:
dsmadmc -se=blah -id=admin -pa=xxx -displaymode=table macro
select.macro

TSM server on p5 micro partition
Has anyone out there migrated or installed a TSM server in a p5 micro partition (not an LPAR)? I'd be interested in your settings for: Number of processors: dedicated or virtual. And: desired / min / max. Are you using SMT? As well as, Processing power: desired / minimum / maximum and: capped or uncapped My initial thoughts are: virtual CPUs (since I'm using micro partitions) des/min/max = 2/1/2 Processing power (des/min/max) = .2/.1/1.5 uncapped I think I will use SMT on it. I don't think my TSM server needs a lot of CPU power. I recall that expiration used the most CPU power, but that it is a single threaded processes. So more than CPU probably won't make it run much faster. Anyone have any thoughts?

TSM automation problem
We have a TSM 5.2.2.0 server running under mainframe Linux. We have a locally written Perl script that reads messages from a console mode administrative session and manages server operations. The server uses a 3494 tape library. When we started out, part of the code in the script detected the end of a database snapshot and executed a 'move drmedia' for the output volume or volumes. The 'move drmedia' command also causes the volume or volumes to be ejected from the 3494. The 'move drmedia' sometimes failed because a volume was still dismounting when TSM tried to eject it. When we discovered this problem we added logic to wait for dismounts to finish. This code looks for ANR8468I messages reporting dismounts. Each time such a message occurs the script executes a 'query mount' command. When the query reports no tapes mounted the script proceeds with the 'move drmedia' command. The new code occasionally hangs up. The last time this happened we discovered the following sequence of messages in the activity log: 01/19/2005 07:20:32 ANR8468I 3590 volume 630257 dismounted from drive IBMTAPE3 (/dev/IBMtape3) in library TJULIB01. (PROCESS: 5222) 01/19/2005 07:20:32 ANR2017I Administrator AUTOMATION issued command: QUERY MOUNT 63* 01/19/2005 07:20:32 ANR8331I 3590 volume 630257 is mounted R/W in drive IBMTAPE3 (/dev/IBMtape3), status: DISMOUNTING. 01/19/2005 07:20:32 ANR8334I 1 matches found. The server reports that a tape is dismounted, and then responds to a 'query mount' command with a claim that the very same tape is still in the process of being dismounted. Does anyone know of a good work-around for this sloppy status reporting?
SAN Booting
Hi all: We are looking at booting servers from a SAN instead of local disks. We are planning to use either TSM image or file backups of the OS drives (Windows 2003) to make server deployment and bare metal restores quicker: Install Windows (and apps) on hardware Run SYSPREP Backup SAN disk from another system (either TSM image backup or TSM file system backup) To roll out new hardware or perform BMR: Recover TSM image or file system backup (from another system) Plug in new hardware to this system and run SYSPREP My questions on this: Is anyone booting from SAN? What applications? Is anyone booting a TSM server from a SAN? Are there any issues (TSM and others) to look out for? Is anyone using TSM as above for System Deployments? Any issues? I apologize that some of these questions may not be TSM related so please reply directly to me rather than the list. Thanks, Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: TSM Client on HMC
Hey Miles, I know of one customer who tried without much success. My understanding is that the HMC was too far locked down to be able to install and run the TSM client on it. Given that the HMC is supposed to be a closed system, there shouldn't be anything stored on there that you need to keep, other than some basic settings that can be backed up by the HMC's own processes on the odd ocassion that you make such changes. If the HMC blows up I'd probably just restore it from CD or DVD... regards, Paul - Original Message - From: Miles Purdy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 12:31 PM Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Client on HMC Does any one out there have a p5 system with a HMC?

Most of my machines are UNIX so I've never had a problem with this. It seems like the DB is growing faster than it use to and I'd like to prevent rapid growth once the others are included.

Is it more efficient/better to have ntbackup backup the SYSTEMOBJECT to a file before the TSM backup, then have TSM backup this file nightly with the regular TSM backup? Is there any problem with recovery of the machine using this method(ntbackup then TSM)? Is there any advantages/disadvantages to using this method? Generally how many files does the SYSTEMOBJECT backup contain? We are currently on AIX 5.2/TSM 5.2.2 server and win2K SP3 clients.

Re: Server to server with different managementclasses
Steve, set up two policy domains on the target server, with a node type=server in each to be used by the source server. In one PD, create a default management class where the archive copygroup destination is disk. In the other PD create a default MC where the archive copy group destination is a disk/tape hierarchy or just tape. On the source server, define the two servers with the IP of the target server and the two respective virtual volumes node names. Then define two device classes, one to use the server that uses the node in the target server PD to only send data to disk. The other device class on the source server uses the second server definition where the node is the one that sends data to the disk/tape hierarchy. Then use the first devclass for the data base backups and the second devclass for your virtual volume copy pool. I have used this approach for backupsets and copy pool differentiation such that I could the tapes at the target server that contained the archive objects for the backupset at the source server out of the tape library, whereas the archive objects for the copy storage pool virtual volumes stayed inside the library to be ready for reclamation. In this shop, the backupsets were used as a means of doing annual archives for a given set of server where the likelihood of anyone wanting access to this data was nil. Hope I mumbled clearly.

FW: Backing up SYSTEMOBJECT on Win2K machines
[from the TSM mailing list--points to a link detailing Windows registry gotchas for bare-metal restores] -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627 -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robertson, Louis Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 4:01 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Backing up SYSTEMOBJECT on Win2K machines Eric, In the event of a disaster you will probably be restoring to dissimilar equipment. If that is the case and you are running W2K with SP3 and you are using the ntbackup of the systemstate you definitely want to read Microsoft's knowledge base article 249694, ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249694 )specifically the section on changing the registry key - KeysNotToRestore. Prior to installing SP4 our test restores to dissimilar equipment was not very successful until we made the KeysNotToRestore registry change referenced in this article.

I've seen a few post on the backup of the SYSTEMOBJECT for win2k and I'm looking for the best way to backup our win2K systems. I have 4 systems that I currently backup with another 10+ to go. Most of my machines are UNIX so I've never had a problem with this. It seems like the DB is growing faster than it use to and I'd like to prevent rapid growth once the others are included. It's my understanding that all of the SYSTEMOBJECT files are backed up with every backup(incremental). We keep all data for 90 days and the systems are backed up Monday-Friday . Is it more efficient/better to have ntbackup backup the SYSTEMOBJECT to a file before the TSM backup, then have TSM backup this file nightly with the regular TSM backup? Is there any problem with recovery of the machine using this method(ntbackup then TSM)? Is there any advantages/disadvantages to using this method? Generally how many files does the SYSTEMOBJECT backup contain? We are currently on AIX 5.2/TSM 5.2.2 server and win2K SP3 clients.
