ANR0209E Page address mismatch detected on recovery log

Hello, I'm getting an error when starting TSM Server and the server is not

We have TSM 5.2.1.0 on an Z/OS. 

We did an UNLOADDB followed by a LOADFORMAT a LOADDB an AUDITDB. All of them 
ended ok, but when I try to start the TSM Server I get the messages:

Anton -
I'm sorry to see you in this situation. The List archives reflect only
two instances of people encountering this in the past, and they posted
no follow-up resolution. I recommend that you contact TSM Support as
your next step.
I rue the day that IBM started encouraging customers to take their TSM
system out of service and run salvage utilities to reorganize the db,
as situations like this inevitably result, particularly as these
utilities are not subject to the same development intensity and
scrutiny as mainline TSM code. This has been a very poor decision on
someone's part in IBM, to foster this kind of risky undertaking in
enterprise sites as though it were a casual, risk-free activity. Some
vendor thinking is just unfathomable.

Re: help:Lan-free backup question

2005-03-30 Thread Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM
Hi Li!
It depends. If you are doing LAN-free to a similar device, then you do not
have to use separate adapters.
However, when you are doing LAN-free to tape or to storage which requires a
different device driver, then you will need separate adapters. IBM does not
support disk and tape I/O through the same adapter, nor do they support
multiple device drivers through one adapter.
Kindest regards,

Re: Tsm TEC trouble

2005-03-30 Thread Loren Cain
Here's one possibility:

If the TEC server is not up or not accessible when the TSM server
starts, the Tivoli event logging will be disabled. You can restart it
with the BEGIN EVENTLOGGING TIVOLI command. 

This has been happening to me sporadically because sometimes the TSM
server starts before the Tivoli TEC gateway starts (they both run on the
same physical machine). Apparently TSM does not try to contact TEC again
after the initial failure.

Re: Preparing a tape storage pool volume for reuse

2005-03-30 Thread Tim Piqueur
Rob,

I couldn't agree more with Mark. Please read the introduction to TSM.
When I look at the name of your copy storage pool (3581_week2) it seems
that you are still working in a full/incremental way. This is not how
TSM works.
This is about the 'progressive backup' in TSM and  taken from the TSM
Concepts Redbook:

[Progressive backup] Saves time and disk space by backing up only new
files and modified files. The progressive backup feature uses its own
relational database to track data wherever it is stored, delivering
direct one-step file restore. This eliminates the need for
base-plus-incrementals tapes, commonly used for restore procedures in
other storage management products.

Furthermore, reclamation isn't something that 'fits' in your backup
strategy. It is something that is part of TSM and should be used; it has
nothing to do with your backup strategy.

Again, please refer to the Redbooks provided by IBM...

Judging by one of your other emails, is reclaimation a process to merge
partial tapes together?  If so, that really doesn't interest us.  It
doesn't fit into our backup strategy.

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.

The easiest way (in fact, the only way I know how) to prove the file is
encrypted is to attempt to restore the file to an alternate server; the
TSM client will request the encryption key, and will not perform the
restore without it.

The machine that owns the file has the encryption key embedded in the
Windows registry. That is why, when you restore the file to the original
machine, the restoration deencryption is transparent. That is also why,
when you restore the file to the original machine after it has been
rebuilt, that the encryption key is requested. If the transparent
restore makes the auditors nervous, have the customer remind the
auditors that loss of control of the server console makes any security
impossible. 

It would also behoove all of us to be reminded that, once a TSM client
password becomes known to (or is guessed by) malefactors, encryption and
data security are greatly compromised.

Oh, sure, blame the media.  (old joke :-)
In http://www.thic.org/pdf/Oct00/imation.jgoins.001003.pdf
Imation says that for the Avanced Metal Particle 1 tape formulation used
in 3590 that media life should be expected to be 15 - 30 years, with
5 - 10% magnetization loss after 15 years.
The greater issue is how well the tapes were made in their batch, and
how
they were handled and the atmospheric conditions in which they were
used.
I've seen some new tapes arrive with ripples because of poor winding
during manufacturing.  Tape is tape, and being open to the air, lots
can happen to them.

Re: 3590 K series

2005-03-30 Thread Ben Bullock
I'm sure it really depends on the number of mounts and
reads/write cycles that the tape goes through. The problem with the
3590E tapes is that once they are taken out of the library, the number
of mounts is lost, so actual mounts per tape is a pure guess if you have
offsite copypool tapes that you rotate through.

The last time I looked at the tape warranty and on the
manufactures web site, I got the impression that the average expected
life of a lightly used tape (written once, read only a few times, such
as an archive) to be at least 10 years. 

We typically re-write all our data to new media about every 5
years when we migrate to new tape media, (i.e. 3590A to 3590E,  more
recently, 3590E to 3592),  so I haven't really worried about it too
much. Oh ya, we also have copypools of almost everything, so that too
takes the worry out of a single reaching it's end of life.

Old tapes

Oh mighty Gurus.

Please forgive my naive question..

We are running out of slots in our library and I have examined
some of the tapes and have found that some of them haven't
been read for  1 1/2 years and some haven't been written to
in 3 or 4 years.

Can I eject these tapes and store them in a rack?

I tried 5 of them and used the following commands:

update volume vol loc=shelf
checkout libv lib vol checkl=no rem=b

Is this kosher?

DR access to 3494 tapelibrary

2005-03-30 Thread Lawrence Clark
Never got a reply to this, so just in case it never got posted:

Our DR tests of using a backup TSM server with the exisiting 3494 tape
libraries ran into problems.

The setup:
- both the DR TSM server and the Prod TSM server are connected to the
switch and the libraries (lmcp) points and the devices show active.
However, the addressing on each server is slightly different.
The test:
- to test the prod DB is restored to the DR server, which works fine.
The problem continues to be accessing the library.
- after the last test failure I took an hour during the daily TSM prod
cycle and:
   1). brought down the PROD TSM and kept it down during the test
   2).  recycled the DR TSM  ( with the hostname and I.P. address of
the PROD TSM) so it could establish the addressing from scratch
   3). brought up the DR TSM, then brought up TSM. Unfortunately from
my previous test I had deleted the library defs and so could not test
them coming up automaticly. However, I was able to successfully able to
define the library to TSM this time, but then it saw all the volumes in
the library as  checked out. I was noit able to define this previously
when I had not thought it necessary to recycle the DR TSM. Kept getting
I/O errors.

My thinking is:
- if the library and device definitions were in place when I brought up
the DR TSM it would have had access to the library and volumes in the
library
- the recycle of the DR TSM is neccessay after the PROD TSM is down and
before bringing up the DR TSM to replace the addressing so that it
matches the previous addressing on the PROD TSM ( 1Z-08-02 becomes
1Z-08-01)

Any thoughts or experience with the use of a library in this
situation?




I tried this because I noticed that with both servers connected to the
switch that distinct addresses are generated for each set of devices. So
restoring the prod TSM DB and bringing it up it appears to see these
devices on the DR TSM server as not the same as the devices it used when
it was the DB was saved off.

However, having the prod TSM server down and recycling DR TSM server
prior to starting TSM on the DR server restablishes the addresses on
server so they are the primary addresses ( 01) and allows the library
and devices to be recognized and defined. At least that's my theory. The
limited testing I was able to do suggests that it true.

#1, what's your retention for this data if you don't need it reuse the tapes.   
#2 if they aren't at 100% do move data on them to free up the tapes that way. 
  #3 if your solution calls for long term storage then just check them out and

Oh mighty Gurus.

Please forgive my naive question..

We are running out of slots in our library and I have examined
some of the tapes and have found that some of them haven't
been read for  1 1/2 years and some haven't been written to
in 3 or 4 years.

Can I eject these tapes and store them in a rack?

I tried 5 of them and used the following commands:

update volume vol loc=shelf
checkout libv lib vol checkl=no rem=b

Is this kosher?

Thanks!

Re: Old tapes

2005-03-30 Thread David Longo
Quick answer.  User the query media and move media commands.

Query can show you in order, how long tapes have not been used.
Move media then allows you to move (er checkout) tapes that haven't
been accessed in a certain number of days.

If one of these tapes is later needed, TSM will prompt for it.

Re: Old tapes

2005-03-30 Thread Ben Bullock
We have had to do this in the past to free up library space.
Rather than using the checkout libvol command, I would suggest using the
functions within the TSM server to store tapes outside of the library:
the move media command.

Do a 'help move media' for how it works.

Here is an example command I have used that would check tapes
out of the library from our I_TAPEPOOL storagepool that have not been
touched in 60 days: 

move media * stg=I_TAPEPOOL wherestate=mountableinlib wherestatus=full
day=60 ovflocation='Bldg26 rack'

May I suggest that perhaps your backup strategy doesn't fit the

you're dead-set on trying to do that, then perhaps you should

ANR0425W Something or Nothing?

2005-03-30 Thread Mark Bertrand
This is for a client Oracle TDP on Solaris 8 with TSM Server W2K,  v
5.1.6.3.

Simple question, is warning message ANR0425W password has expired anything
to worry about? Because I can't seem to make it go away and it doesn't seem
to be stopping the backups?
The help file shows, System Action: Server operation continues.
I have tried update node, changed password exp on server to  and 0,
removing password file on client side. The TDP documentation stays that the
password must be set to generate, which it is.
This is from my logs:

Archive very, very slow

2005-03-30 Thread Miller, Ila
We recently migrated from a locally attached 3590 E11 tape drive to two
3592 tape drives in a 3494 tape library.  We installed TSM 5.2.4.0 on a
p5 570 lpar running AIX 5.3.  Our data is on an IBM ESS 800.  Every day
we quiese the application and flash copy it then mount the flash copy
volume groups to another system and backup.  We were just doing the
native backup to the 3590 E11 locally attached drives.  Then we mounted
the flash copy to the TSM server and did an archive.  The four volume
groups comprise about 400G of data 95% being in CACHE.DAT files, one
which is about 200G in size.  

The problem is the archive over fibre is taking 12-14 hours to complete.
We were backing up to the 3590 local attached tape drives using native
commands in about 8 hours.  The Aggregate data transfer rate:
10,793.34 KB/sec seems network speed and we are using fibre attached
tape drives and ESS storage.  The data is mounted to the TSM server so
the TSM server is also the client and the data should not be going over
the network at all.

We have looked at ESS 800 performance of LUNs, software compression,
various settings including shmport and commMethod sharedmem and have not
been able to come up with anything to make the backup run faster.  We
have a pmr open at IBM but it has not produced any useful information
that would resolve the problem.  

Has anyone else ever seen anything like this?

Just a minor thought: Your COMMMethod is probably TCPIP, meaning that
the I/O would be going through the TCP/IP stack via localhost. You
might try COMMMethod SHAREDMEM as a more efficient method for that
co-residency situation, and to see if any beneficial impact (which
might point to a TCP/IP issue). Beyond that, all the usual tuning

Re: Archive very, very slow

We also recently migrated from SCSI attached 3590E drives to SAN
attached 3592 drives (both in a 3494 library). 

Unfortunately, we only saw an increase in the performance with
the new tape drives.

As Richard mentioned, it may be an issue with the mounting of
the data on the host, but I will throw in a few things to perhaps check
on the Tape drive configuration.

- Are you using the latest and greatest ATAPE and ATLDD drivers?
 Mine are a little old, but you should at least be at these
levels:
Atape.driver   9.0.7.0
atldd.driver   5.5.1.0

- Are the drives defined to TSM as a 3592 drives and not
Generic or something?
Here is a little look at one of mine:
tsm: TSMXq drive f=d

Library Name: BOITAPELIB1
  Drive Name: 3592DRV0
 Device Type: 3592
 On-Line: Yes
Read Formats: 3592C,3592
   Write Formats: 3592C,3592
 Element: 
 Drive State: LOADED
Allocated to: 
 WWN: 
   Serial Number: 07XX5
  Last Update by (administrator): BBULLOCK
   Last Update Date/Time: 02/10/05   12:17:54
Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): 

- On the SAN ports, are you sure that all the drives are linked
up as 2GB devices?
- If you have multiple FC cards, have you enabled multipathing
to take advantage of it?
 (a nice feature to have, but probably not a contributer to your
issues).

Re: ANR0425W Something or Nothing?

2005-03-30 Thread Mark Bertrand
You are correct Richard, my version's command is tdpoconf password. This
prompts you for the existing password and the twice for the new one.

I have successfully used this to change the password as with the GUI on the
server side and the command line on the server side.

I have successfully made it worse, where I was unable to communicate with
the server at all. At this point it is working but I still get 0425.

I guess I just want to know if I can ignore this if there is not a fix.

Note your transfer time (930 seconds); this makes your throughput rate,

You might be having a lot of retries; they run up your total backup time
without adding to the amount of data being transfered. See how many

attached 3592 drives (both in a 3494 library). 

Unfortunately, we only saw an increase in the performance with
the new tape drives.

As Richard mentioned, it may be an issue with the mounting of
the data on the host, but I will throw in a few things to perhaps check
on the Tape drive configuration.

- Are you using the latest and greatest ATAPE and ATLDD drivers?
 Mine are a little old, but you should at least be at these
levels:
Atape.driver   9.0.7.0
atldd.driver   5.5.1.0

- Are the drives defined to TSM as a 3592 drives and not
Generic or something?
Here is a little look at one of mine:
tsm: TSMXq drive f=d

Library Name: BOITAPELIB1
  Drive Name: 3592DRV0
 Device Type: 3592
 On-Line: Yes
Read Formats: 3592C,3592
   Write Formats: 3592C,3592
 Element: 
 Drive State: LOADED
Allocated to: 
 WWN: 
   Serial Number: 07XX5
  Last Update by (administrator): BBULLOCK
   Last Update Date/Time: 02/10/05   12:17:54
Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): 

- On the SAN ports, are you sure that all the drives are linked
up as 2GB devices?
- If you have multiple FC cards, have you enabled multipathing
to take advantage of it?
 (a nice feature to have, but probably not a contributer to your
issues).

Subject: Archive very, very slow

We recently migrated from a locally attached 3590 E11 tape drive to two
3592 tape drives in a 3494 tape library.  We installed TSM 5.2.4.0 on a
p5 570 lpar running AIX 5.3.  Our data is on an IBM ESS 800.  Every day
we quiese the application and flash copy it then mount the flash copy
volume groups to another system and backup.  We were just doing the
native backup to the 3590 E11 locally attached drives.  Then we mounted
the flash copy to the TSM server and did an archive.  The four volume
groups comprise about 400G of data 95% being in CACHE.DAT files, one
which is about 200G in size.  

The problem is the archive over fibre is taking 12-14 hours to complete.
We were backing up to the 3590 local attached tape drives using native
commands in about 8 hours.

Re: ANR0209E Page address mismatch detected on recovery log

2005-03-30 Thread Henrik Wahlstedt
I want to add a comment.

The point to me is that an audit db FAILS to detect and correct the error.
Period. And thats is not good since we reley on our db to read our tapes.

An unload may discover a corruption and we have the possibilities to audit
or dump our db.
And when thoose option
fails..
somebody wont get happy and you loose data.

In Antons case I dont know what the solution is besides a restore from a
previus db backup.
ANR0209E Page address mismatch detected on recovery log volume
ADSMRE.RCVLOG2B,
ANR0209E logical page 0 (physical page 18688); actual: 129024.

In an other case like this below, is something you DONT want to see.
The TSM server starts and you can do backup, restores, migration and
reclamation etc. Some backup are sucessfull and some fails with:

Wort a note: Anton used TSM 5.2.1.0 on an Z/OS. In the other was a w2k
server with 5.2.2.5 involved.

 I rue the day that IBM started encouraging customers to take their TSM
 system out of service and run salvage utilities to reorganize the db, as
 situations like this inevitably result, particularly as these utilities
are
 not subject to the same development intensity and scrutiny as mainline
TSM
 code. This has been a very poor decision on someone's part in IBM, to
foster
 this kind of risky undertaking in enterprise sites as though it were a
 casual, risk-free activity. Some vendor thinking is just unfathomable.


I don't share Richard's tropism away from the offline utilities.  However,
embarking on any such process without a DB incremental immediately previous
is, well, foolhardy.

I think of the motorcyclists I sometimes see, on the highway with shorts, a
tank-top, flip-flops and sunglasses in leiu of helmet.

If you run regular DB fulls, and cut incrementals before you do anything
scary, you limit your downside to inconvenience and a setback schedule.  I
highly recommend the practice.


BTW, I've promoted my DB reload procedure to our main site.  Thanks greatly
to those of you who commented.  I continue to solicit experiences of before
and after sizes, and comments about behavior before and after.
