TSM 5.2 and supported Solaris OS
Hi all Can someone tell me where I can find information on supported Solaris operating systems. I'm looking to move to TSM 5.2 in the near future and would like to move to Solaris 2.10 but I can't find information on whether this is supported.

ISC inst problems /
hi all, i'm installing ISC on AIX 5.3 ml2 and experiencing some problems, i installed once for testing purposes on AIX 5.2 ml3 with no problems, i really dont understand java and things so i confused when looking at log files for some clues why installation failed, i paste below two files so someone can help me :-) thanks goran PS: yes i uninstalled it manualy by the book , but i dont understand from the Kenneth Owin Michael Sisco ppt Most commonly, all vpd.properties are not edited. and i found is some installation log something with SOAP and that 8249 port is already in use which is strange considering it's a newly installed machine with 12 running processes :-) thanks axpisc01:/opt/IBM/ISC 1028more log.txt (Aug 10, 2005 5:16:10 PM), Install, ACProductAction, err, An error occurred and product installation failed.

Moving an existing TSM server to new server and library
Hi all, we have Win2000 server running TSM ver 5.2.3. What I have been asked to do is move this to a new server running win 2003. The library will go from a dell 128T to an ADIC 24. I looks like it would be possible as long as the TSM server kept the same name and we checked all the tapes out of the 128T and checked into the ADIC 24. And just restored the DB. Granted all the disk lay out is similar. Is this a correct assumption or is there something else that needs to be done.

Re: 1 of 3 TOR reports refuses to generate?
Actually, we are putting TRT in sometime soon (by our AIX guys). I use TOR because it was relatively quick easy to setup, and I didn't have time to go through the purchasing process. One thing I do miss from my previous company was a custom report we generated daily on all session activity, that allowed me to both filter and sort the data - was really useful for spotting nodes with low network xfer rates, for example, or easily listing the top ten longest running backups, or seeing only restore sessions from TDP nodes, etc - basically a limited but still very useful adhoc query tool. There's nothing equivilant in eith TOR or TRT. I can send you an example if you would be interested in seeing it. Someday I'll have time to convert the rexx program from mainframe to windows, but not today. -steve -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Cowen Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 8:36 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] 1 of 3 TOR reports refuses to generate?

We've just noticed some of the Windows 2003 clients at level 5.3.05 are failing to ftp the files (we get error dsmerror.log:No such device or address). If we stop the TSM Client Schedule Service (and maybe the Client Acceptor) then we are able to transfer the files via ftp. It appears that the 5.3 client on Windows 2003 keeps these files open when the services above are running. We can copy them when the services are running using windows copy but cannot ftp them using windows ftp. We have two Windows 2003 clients at 5.3.05 that are able to ftp the files and about 4 that cannot at the moment. We are trying to see the differences between these servers but have not been able to figure it out yet. It nearly seems at this time that perhaps some hotfix isn't allowing windows ftp to put a file that is open! We are wondering if anyone has any insight to this. Thanks, Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg
Re: Domino, scheduler and root id
Steve, When I ran into this, it only occured after the password expiration time was exceeded. Is this the case for you as well?

Problems with BMR on W2K (missing DLL's after restore)
Hello,
TSM server Windows2000, TSM 5.2.2.0.
TSM client Windows2000 Advanced, TSM 5.2.2.0, Exchange-mail server
After a succesfull back-up of all local drives (C, D, E, F + system objects)
and a full back-up with ITSM_for_Mail (TDP for Exchange), we tried to do a
full restore of the system.
We get some problems after restoring the operating system and I hope someone
can point me to the right direction.
These are the followed steps:
- Basic installation W2KSP3 (same SP as installed during back-up)
- Server renamed to original name, not joined in domain
- IP config modified for connection with TSM-server
- Installation TSM client
- Modified dsm.opt
- Restore C-partition
NO REBOOT
- Restore System Objects
- Reboot
The system reboots well, but a few seconds after the log-menu appears there
also appears two popup error-messages concerning 'Unable to locate DLL' for
inetinfo.exe:
IisRTL.dll could not be located in path
and the other-one for AntigenIMC.exe (virusscanner):
Exstrace.dll could not be located in path
If we compare some dll's with another Exchange server the following were
missing:
iisext.dll
iismap.dll
iisrstap.dll
iisreset.exe
It is not possible to start the IIS-service manually.
I find this document:
DCF Document ID: 1164812 - IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Modified
Instructions for Complete Restores of Windows Systems: Bare Metal Restore
(BMR), System State Restore, Windows System Object Restore
But,
After doing the restore again with the commands out of the document:
- dsmc restore {SYSTEM OBJECT}\winnt\system32\catroot\*
%systemroot%\system32\ -sub=yes -rep=all - dsmc restore
%systemdrive%\* -sub=yes -rep=all
- dsmc restore systemobject
I still get the same popup-message about the missing DLL's.
If I do a select on the server the mentioned files are all in the
backup-table. If I do some queries on the client (q sysfiles, q
systemobject, show systemobject) everything is there.
Every tip is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Re: Problems with BMR on W2K (missing DLL's after restor e)
Mike,
For what it's worth, we had better success with BMR using the 5.3.0.5 client
than the 5.2.2.0 when we did our hotsite test recently.
We also ran a pre and post restore script that copied/restored some of the
hardware specific files such as hal.dll, but we needed to restore to
dissimilar hardware.
Does this machine have other drives than c:? If so, they should be restored
first, in case any software references them.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Problems with BMR on W2K (missing DLL's after restore)
Hello,
TSM server Windows2000, TSM 5.2.2.0.
TSM client Windows2000 Advanced, TSM 5.2.2.0, Exchange-mail server
After a succesfull back-up of all local drives (C, D, E, F + system objects)
and a full back-up with ITSM_for_Mail (TDP for Exchange), we tried to do a
full restore of the system.
We get some problems after restoring the operating system and I hope someone
can point me to the right direction.
These are the followed steps:
- Basic installation W2KSP3 (same SP as installed during back-up)
- Server renamed to original name, not joined in domain
- IP config modified for connection with TSM-server
- Installation TSM client
- Modified dsm.opt
- Restore C-partition
NO REBOOT
- Restore System Objects
- Reboot
The system reboots well, but a few seconds after the log-menu appears there
also appears two popup error-messages concerning 'Unable to locate DLL' for
inetinfo.exe:
IisRTL.dll could not be located in path
and the other-one for AntigenIMC.exe (virusscanner):
Exstrace.dll could not be located in path
If we compare some dll's with another Exchange server the following were
missing:
iisext.dll
iismap.dll
iisrstap.dll
iisreset.exe
It is not possible to start the IIS-service manually.
I find this document:
DCF Document ID: 1164812 - IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Modified Instructions
for Complete Restores of Windows Systems: Bare Metal Restore (BMR), System
State Restore, Windows System Object Restore
But,
After doing the restore again with the commands out of the document:
- dsmc restore {SYSTEM OBJECT}\winnt\system32\catroot\*
%systemroot%\system32\ -sub=yes -rep=all - dsmc restore
%systemdrive%\* -sub=yes -rep=all
- dsmc restore systemobject
I still get the same popup-message about the missing DLL's.
If I do a select on the server the mentioned files are all in the
backup-table. If I do some queries on the client (q sysfiles, q
systemobject, show systemobject) everything is there.
Every tip is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Re: Moving an existing TSM server to new server and library
You'll need to update your device class(s) to point to the new library. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ray Louvier Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 4:36 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Moving an existing TSM server to new server and library Hi all, we have Win2000 server running TSM ver 5.2.3. What I have been asked to do is move this to a new server running win 2003. The library will go from a dell 128T to an ADIC 24. I looks like it would be possible as long as the TSM server kept the same name and we checked all the tapes out of the 128T and checked into the ADIC 24. And just restored the DB. Granted all the disk lay out is similar. Is this a correct assumption or is there something else that needs to be done.

Please find details of the TSM Symposium to be held at Oxford University in September below and at http://tsm-symposium.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ ... including the latest agenda, programme and speaker details. Registration is already open, and we hope to see you there ... Thanks and best wishes, Sheelagh ___ TSM Symposium 2005 Tivoli Storage Manager : Facing the Future St Catherine's College 27-29 September 2005 http://tsm-symposium.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ * NOW - AGENDA updated * * NOW - Registration Open * Over the last ten years Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) has been evolving to handle the rapid growth in storage that we have all seen in the workplace, presenting opportunities and (challenges!) along the way for managing your data. The TSM Symposium 2005 is an ideal opportunity this year for help in Facing the Future in storage management with TSM. In September, Oxford University is hosting the TSM Symposium which will be held (once again) in St Catherine's College. This will enable you to keep up with the latest features, gain tips on upgrading existing archive and backup services and learn how to exploit new functionality. There will be plenty of opportunities to gain technical insight into TSM, with presentations from IBM Development, contributions from experienced and established users as well as the chance to meet other like-minded souls. How to make a contribution We are seeking technical contributions in the form of papers and presentations from the TSM user community - the system managers and administrators who are arguably the real TSM experts - this is an excellent chance to share your knowledge and wisdom! Technical contributions from TSM solution architects and related storage vendors are also sought: this is an opportunity to demonstrate the flexibility and extensibility of TSM. In addition, there are excellent opportunities for exhibiting at the Symposium. Please see the Contributions web page for further details. Organisation of the TSM Symposium This user-led event has been initiated and organised by Oxford University Computing Services, and follows on from the previous events held at Oxford in 1999, 2001 and 2003.

ODBC Driver Connection
I have downloaded the TSM ODBC driver. I tried using Access and extracting the table data, but that takes a long time. Does anyone else use the ODBC driver connection, and if so, how do you connect to it to easily select data from the tables? Thanks, Debbie
TDP for ORACLE AIX

First attempt at an RMAN backup produced the following RMAN error: RMAN-03009: failure of allocate command on ch00 channel at 08/11/2005 13:10:23 ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-27000: skgfqsbi: failed to initialize storage subsystem (SBT) layer IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 106: For future use Additional information: 7011 ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text: SBT error = 7011, errno = 106, sbtopen: system error However, nothing was logged in the TSM log I specified in TDPO.OPT dsmi_log parm. That seemed odd so I changed the permissions on the log to 666, and then RMAN backups started working. (Lucky shot in the dark). Now getting same error on recovery. Despite what the content of the error message says, my problems seem to be related to file ownership and / or permissions on the client. However, I can find nothing in the installation guide that helps, nor are there any recent hits in IBMLINK.Any suggestions?? Thanks.

Re: ODBC Driver Connection
Debbie, the ODBC driver isn't inherently faster than other methods for SELECTing data from the TSM database (it is really just a pass-through mehanism for sending SELECT statements to the server and returning results to the application). Increasing the fetch size in the data source configuration can improve performance for retrieving results from large tables. The default is 50; I'd suggest trying something like 1 (you probably wont' see much in the way of improved performance beyond 1).
