Your thinking is correct, so retention is not the issue.
You may not be seeing the file for a number of reasons, including...
- It had been deleted or renamed on the client, and expired in TSM.
- It was excluded from backups.
- You're using the GUI to seek the file and an intermediate directory
  expired from TSM storage some time ago.
- The lookup is not being performed from either the file owner or
  superuser.
I'd pursue a more encompassing CLI query and see if the file and its
neighbors show up, to narrow in on that target.

Re: Backup expiration

2005-03-28 Thread Yiannakis Vakis
Nico,
I have done it the other way. I define the number of versions I need and put
NOLIMIT to the retention. This means that even if a file is deleted TSM
keeps the last 3 versions forever.
This may not be the best solution as the TSM DB grows larger and larger. But
at least I'm sure that the files will be there even when deleted. Here's an
example:

Policy Domain Name BOC_DOMAIN_A
Policy Set Name BOC_POLICYSET_A
Mgmt Class Name BOC_MGC_A
Copy Group Name STANDARD
Versions Data Exists 5
Versions Data Deleted 3
Retain Extra Versions NOLIMIT
Retain Only Version NOLIMIT

Using multiple Ethernet adapters on AIX TSM server?

2005-03-28 Thread Thach, Kevin G
I am currently using one GigE adapter on my TSM server, and I have so
much traffic coming into it during the night that I need to add another.
The new adatper will have a different IP, but will be on the same subnet
as the first one.  I am not sure of the right / best way to configure
it.

It's my understanding that provided this second adapter has its own IP
address, that I can specify that address in the dsm.opt file on certain
clients that I want to come in over that adapter.  Correct?

From an AIX standpoint, do I set the default gateway for the new adapter
to be the same as the other one?  Or do I make the first adapter the
default gateway for the second one?

If anyone can offer some insight, I'd very much appreciate it.  A
screenshot of someone's routing table where this is currently set up
would be fantastic.

Thanks very much!

Well, you really don't need to take if offline at all, depending on how
much work you are willing to spend on configuring the backup.
Most of the DWH systems I have worked on had to be up at all time, as
they constantly processed new inputs from other systems, so you would
probably need to do hot backups. Unless you can have a backup window
that is.
My question is .. the DB has to be up and running as fast as it could ...
so what should be the best way to take that Oracle DB in backup (incr,

If you have the TDP for Oracle, it is easy, use Oracle RMAN to do online
incremental 0 and 1 backups, with archive logs. The database will never
have to be taken offline.
If you don't have TDP, well then you can do the good ole' Oracle backup
using some shell scripting. Essentially you would use a prebackup script
to put all tablespaces in backup mode, then backup all files and archive
log files, and the postbackup script would put all tablespaces back in
normal mode.
Regardless of method you will not have to take the database offline.

Reserved tape drives

2005-03-28 Thread Coats, Jack
TSM server 4.1.3 on Windows 2K, 6 LTO-1 SCSI attached with IBM3583
library.

We have occasionally some drives that show up as 'Reserved'.  No
particular drive either.  Once I have seen it clear that status on its
own, but a couple of times we have had to stop and restart the TSM
server to get it to work again.

Suggestions to explain what happens?  Or, even better, how to keep it
from happening?

Thanks ... Jack


Re: Reserved tape drives

2005-03-28 Thread Richard Sims
A drive state of Reserved most commonly occurs as TSM is engaged in
mounting a tape on the drive. If that state persists, it could indicate
drive problems where a tape load could not complete.

Re: DELETing a volume from a DB backup

2005-03-28 Thread Rob Berendt
We have different areas of responsibility here with TSM.  The help desk
people set up the save's of the clients and the servers.  They also
perform any restores, as needed.  The operations gal and I are to make
sure that we can recover the TSM server in case of drastic damage to it.

We did have a consultant come in and spend a few days.  Mostly with the
operations gal and I.  In the slack time he helped the help desk with some
issues they had.
Primary mission of this consultants visit was to help the operations gal
and I with getting the TSM saves set up.
First few hours were spent in front of a whiteboard with the consultant
questioning us how we wanted to do this.  We did NOT want to have any of
the client and/or server data being rotated from disk storage pools to
tape storage pools.  No archival, etc.  The help desk people would never
have to ask us to get a tape or have one from some tape library
automatically mounted to restore any data to a client or server.  Repeat,
the use of tape was just in case damage occurred to the TSM server itself.

We have two weeks of tapes - week 1 and week 2.  Week one starts the
backup stg backuppool lto_3581_week#
on Sunday afternoon on 'fresh' tapes. And then these are moved offsite.
That takes 4.02 3581 tapes. Then Monday-Thursday night's backup (same
command) take less than a tape each night.  The next morning, each tape is
moved to offsite storage.  We also run the
backup db devclass=3581dev type=full scratch=yes wait=no
on a daily basis and send that tape offsite as well.

Starting on Friday we blank out the previous weeks tapes and start over.

As far as training here goes, it can be pretty good at times.  For a year
or two it was locked down tight but it's pretty much back to normal again.
 I manage to get offsite to a conference about every other year.

My other duties, like many of you, are numerous.  Domino/Notes
administrator, iSeries administrator (we have four of them.  Some of you
may know them by other names:  AS/400's, i5's, etc), and so on.  And I
cover for the operations gal who left for two weeks in Hawaii just a week
after the consultant left.

Judging by one of your other emails, is reclaimation a process to merge

Re: [ADSM-L] Preparing a tape storage pool volume for reuse






Rob,

Again this is a fundamental concept in TSM as I stated in my previous
post I think you will need to develop your skill set in the TSM area.

No, you do not want to do DELete VOLume!  What you should be doing on
some regular basis is running reclamation on that storage pool.
Reclamation will then empty the partially used tapes.  Please refer to
the admin guide where you will find several sections discussing managing
storage pools and volumes.

Re: [ADSM-L] DELETing a volume from a DB backup






Mark, Iain (and Rob),
I believe that we all found ourselves in Rob's situation one way or
another.
It is always difficult to persuade the management about trainning needs -
especially if the training is abroad (management prefers to spent this
money
on themselves...).
However, such a discussion helps the person needing training to realise it
more and more. It sure helped me in similar situations when I just printed
a
reply from another list saying to my boss hey just see what these guys
are
telling me - you have to send me to a training course.
So I don't consider what Mark wrote to Rob as an insult.

Rob, you have to attend at least TM50 - the basic training course. And
after
working for 6 months on TSM ask them to send you a TM52. I'm trying to do
the same just now.
Good luck.

I like what I read about training being a major part of the consultancy
services you provide. You are sooo right about enterprises getting
consultants in to install systems and then dumping them onto the Admins
without any trainig, etc. That's exactly what happened to me, not once
(TSM) but twice when they had a SAN installed with a pair of Cisco SAN /

did any kinda support, it took 4 months to get a document out of them
detailing the configuration!!

Iain,

I agree with you.  I don't think this is a place where we should just
say RTFM.  I hope my tone was not that at all.  I was simply trying to
encourage him to get the skills needed.  The real problem is management
doesn't always understand that tech people need training!  I don't care
what Backup/Restore solution you are using today, none of them just work
right out of the box and they all need a degree of skill to effectively
manage them.  And you are right I am glad for this list as well.  It is
an excellent resource with many very talented people out here and for
the most part they are all trying to help.

While I am on my soap box,  I'll mention another area that seems to be a
problem lately.  This isn't just TSM now it applies to a large degree to
all enterprise level software.  More and more companies are purchasing
software and then hiring consulting services to come in and set it up.
What I am finding is there are a number of consultants out there that do
what I call hit and run services.  They come in they set it up and then
they are gone.  They never did any training or even explanation of the
entire environment with the customer.  And the one who winds up looking
the fool is the tech guy, because management says hey we just paid big
bucks to have this set up and now you can't keep it running.  I have
come in behind a number of consultants and had to clean up after them.
When I do services part of the contract is training both the
administrators and the operators (if they are different).  I provide
written documentation about their specific environment.  I give them an
SLA describing the level of service they are providing their customers.
I give them a manual that describes the day to day operation of their
TSM environment and not only does it tell them what to do, but why they
are doing it.  It is a lot more work and it cost a bit more money, but
in the long run I think I have happier customers as a result.

OK, I am done patting myself on the back.  The real point of this is
that if your are going to administer a TSM environment you are going to
have to acquire the skills to do it.  Now, you can get those skills in a
variety of ways, formal training, technology transfer from a consultant,
even read the manual, or you can get it from the school of hard
knocks.  If you are forced into the latter choice it can be quite an
expensive proposition!

Re: Using multiple Ethernet adapters on AIX TSM server?

2005-03-28 Thread Justin Derrick
Hi Kevin.
I am currently using one GigE adapter on my TSM server, and I have so
much traffic coming into it during the night that I need to add another.
The new adatper will have a different IP, but will be on the same subnet
as the first one.  I am not sure of the right / best way to configure
it.
If you're maxing out your GigE connection, adding another line to it
may just push the bottleneck upstream to the switch -- you'll want to
work with your network folks to determine the best place to lay new
pipes.
It's my understanding that provided this second adapter has its own IP
address, that I can specify that address in the dsm.opt file on certain
clients that I want to come in over that adapter.  Correct?
You've got the right idea.  Again, depending on your traffic patterns
(lots of small clients vs. a few huge clients) it might make sense to
associate more IP addresses with the host name on your DNS server,
and have DNS provide load balancing (by passing out IPs for the same
hostname in a round-robin fashion).  This is especially useful if
it's the GigE that's the bottleneck to the switch.  This is a good
general-purpose fix, but to truly optimize your connectivity, you
have to dig into your usage patterns to develop the best solution.
You'll want to remove the bottleneck, not just push it upstream.  =)
From an AIX standpoint, do I set the default gateway for the new adapter
to be the same as the other one?  Or do I make the first adapter the
default gateway for the second one?
Depends on how you set up subnets.  To specifically answer your
second question, NO. =)
 - If you add the second IP to the *same* subnet, then they have the
same gateway (possibly a bottleneck).
 - If you add the second IP to a *different* subnet, it may or may
not (but it SHOULD, really) have a different gateway associated with
it.

Re: select statement

2005-03-28 Thread Andrew Raibeck
Hi Joni,

You do not need to put the SELECT command in single quotes.

   dsmadmc -id=me -pa=xxx -tabdelimited select blah from blah where blah

When comparing strings in the WHERE clause, use single, not double quotes
around the string.

   ... where node_name='CS-NICE-STORAGE'

 enter the command: dsmadmc -id= -pass= -tabdelimited 'select statement'

 It doesn't seem to like double quotes or single quotes around the

 This was just discussed a week or so ago. You can start dsmadmc with the

 then load the resulting output into a spreadsheet or db for easy

Re: select statement

2005-03-28 Thread Justin Derrick
It's a quoting issue...  SQL in general prefers single quotes around
strings.  =)
'You solve the problem by \'escaping\' quote characters with
backslashes in most SQL implementations.'
The same works for 'escaping' \double-quotes\.
You can test your commands by prefixing them with the echo or print
command, so you can see how your command actually gets passed to TSM.

Large Linux clients

2005-03-28 Thread Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU
I am having issues backing up a large Linux server (client=5.2.3.0).

The TSM server is also on a RH Linux box (5.2.2.5).

This system has over 4.6M objects.

A standard incremental WILL NOT complete successfully. It usually
hangs/times-out/etc.

The troubles seem to be related to one particular directory with
40-subdirs, comprising 1.4M objects (from the box owner).

If I point to this directory as a whole (via the web ba-client), and try
to back it up in one shot, it displays the inspecting objects message
and then never comes back.

If I drill down further and select the subdirs in groups of 10, it seems
to back them up, with no problem.

So, one question I have is, anyone out there backing up large Linux
systems, similar to this ?

Any suggestions on what the problem could be.

Currently, I do not have access to the error-log files since this is a
protected/firewalled system and I don't have the id/pw.


Re: Large Linux clients

2005-03-28 Thread Mark D. Rodriguez
Zoltan,
I am not sure if this will fix the problem or not.  I have seen in the
past when trying to backup directories (including sub-directories) with
a large number of files that the system runs out of memory and either
fails or hangs for ever.  The one thing that I have done and has worked
in some cases is to use the MEMORYEFfecientbackup option.  It is a
client side option and can be placed in the option file or called from
the command line.  I would try it and see if it helps.  BTW, there is a
downside to this and that is that backups will be slow however slow is
still faster than not at all!
Let us know if that helps.

I would also definitely suggest Journaling after the first incremental
backup completes, that would help negate the slower backups with memory

Re: Large Linux clients

2005-03-28 Thread Richard Sims
Some things to consider with large file systems, and Unix ones in
particular:
1. Use CLI type backups rather than GUI type, for speed.
2. Divide and conquer: Very large file systems are conspicuous
candidates for Virtualmountpoint TSM subdivision, which will greatly
improve things overall. For that matter, oversized file systems are
conspicuous candidates for splitting into multiple physical file
systems.
In suspect areas of Unix file systems I would interactively run a
'find' command with the -ls option to test the speed with which
sub-trees of the file system can be traversed, to point out ringers. A
single directory with a huge number of files can induce a lot of
overhead, and is ripe for re-architecting.
The big problem in all file systems is that they are simply created and
then ignored, and the users of those file systems fill them with
whatever they want, organized at whim in most cases. The architecting
of file systems for performance and organizational sanity is a greatly
overlooked subject area.

This is a Linux client.  I do not believe that journal backups are
supported under Linux.  As far as I know it is a windows only thing or

3581 2U with Atape 9.2.6.0

2005-03-28 Thread John E. Vincent
Hi all,
We're moving our Windows 2000 TSM server to an AIX 5.3 LPAR on a p520
(huzzah!).
I'm running into some issues however with the Atape driver on TSM
Version 5, Release 2, Level 2.0. The tape library is a 3623-2LX (aka.
3581 2U)
I've installed the atape driver and rebooted the LPAR. According to
everything I've read, I SHOULD have a /dev/smc0 device. I do not
however. What I have is a /dev/rmt0.smc. I've attempted to open this
with tapeutil and it kicks back an error. When I attempt to define a
library path in TSM to it, I get the following errors:
03/28/05 20:32:11 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command:

From what I can read online, the rmt0.smc is for the some higher end
model libraries.
Can anyone provide any info that might tell me what in the hell I'm
doing wrong here?
Here's a list of the devices created by Atape. FYI the install of the
driver went fine and displayed no errors. Of course I get the following
when I run cfgmgr:
cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for
device support but are not currently installed.
devices.scsi

But I understand that this is an error that can be ignored. I verified
that all the devices.scsi packages were installed.
Here's that device list:

and application data,is this ture?From store agent manual I couldn't

Re: Using multiple Ethernet adapters on AIX TSM server?

Hi,

I don't know whether you can merge your two network adapter cards and 
associated ip into a logical channel called etherchannel might help you out. I 
know AIX supports etherchannel.

Try smitty etherchannel to help you with the config.

All the best

Hi Kevin.

I am currently using one GigE adapter on my TSM server, and I have so
much traffic coming into it during the night that I need to add another.
The new adatper will have a different IP, but will be on the same subnet
as the first one.  I am not sure of the right / best way to configure
it.

If you're maxing out your GigE connection, adding another line to it
may just push the bottleneck upstream to the switch -- you'll want to
work with your network folks to determine the best place to lay new
pipes.

It's my understanding that provided this second adapter has its own IP
address, that I can specify that address in the dsm.opt file on certain
clients that I want to come in over that adapter.  Correct?

You've got the right idea.  Again, depending on your traffic patterns
(lots of small clients vs. a few huge clients) it might make sense to
associate more IP addresses with the host name on your DNS server,
and have DNS provide load balancing (by passing out IPs for the same
hostname in a round-robin fashion).  This is especially useful if
it's the GigE that's the bottleneck to the switch.  This is a good
general-purpose fix, but to truly optimize your connectivity, you
have to dig into your usage patterns to develop the best solution.
You'll want to remove the bottleneck, not just push it upstream.  =)

From an AIX standpoint, do I set the default gateway for the new adapter
to be the same as the other one?  Or do I make the first adapter the
default gateway for the second one?

Depends on how you set up subnets.  To specifically answer your
second question, NO. =)
  - If you add the second IP to the *same* subnet, then they have the
same gateway (possibly a bottleneck).
  - If you add the second IP to a *different* subnet, it may or may
not (but it SHOULD, really) have a different gateway associated with
it.

(from the Windows Administrator's Guide, page 134)

IBM 3494 tape categories

Typically, a software application that uses a 3494 library uses volumes
in one or more categories that are reserved for that application. To
avoid loss of data, each application sharing the library must have
unique categories. When you define a 3494 library to the server, you can
use the PRIVATECATEGORY and SCRATCHCATEGORY parameters to specify the
category numbers for private and scratch Tivoli Storage Manager volumes
in that library. If the volumes are IBM 3592 WORM (write once, read
many) volumes, you can use the WORMSCRATCHCATEGORY parameter to specify
category numbers for scratch WORM volumes in the library. See IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager Volumes on page 79 for more information on
private, scratch, and scratch WORM volumes.
