Re: how to speed up ...
Of course, before we can (try to) speed up the client, we need to know where the bottleneck lies. The problem could very well be something other than the amount of data you are backing up. When the backup starts, periodically (every 5 minutes, for example) run QUERY SESSION on the server side so you can get an idea of how much data is being sent to the client during the initial backup query; after that, use the QUERY SESSION to get an idea of how quickly data is moving between client and server Traversal of the file system can also have a profound impact. Even if you are not actually backing up a lot of the data, it can take a long time to traverse 8+ million files. RESOURCEUTILIZATION of 5 might help... see reference info for this option in the client manual.

Re: Filespace move
Hi David! Yes. If it's just one or several filespaces, checkout the export node and import node commands. If all filespaces have to be moved to a new node, you can just do a rename of the node and (if it's a Wintel client) do a rename of the filespaces.

Re: Client Compression ON
Andy, when you wrote objects -domain=-F:, that struck me as suspicious Basically what I am trying to achieve is to have two schedules for a remote node. (using TSM Journalling) 1) To backup user data i.e F Drive Hence objects F: 2) To backup the remaining C: Drive and SYSTEMOBJECTS Hence objects -domain=-F: These two schedules work as I intended now (on second run) compression took place on the later schedule as well , without me making any changes ! (Any further advise on setting these schedules up correctly would be greatly appreciated.) Also I may have to abandon client compression, as I already have compression at device level, (HP LTO-2 tape drives), to avoid unforeseen complications. Thanks for you help.

Re: how to speed up ...
Try increasing the values of this parameter on the server (by using the command update node) txngroupmax= xx where x can range from a value of 4 up to 65000 files per transaction. Th default value is 256 so if you have not changed it before, increase it to an higher value (for ex 2000) and see what happens.. Think about the possibility to use the virtualmountpoint option, too. Here is a brief explanation of this option: The virtualmountpoint option defines a virtual mount point for a file system if you want to consider files for backup that begin with a specific directory within that file system. Using the virtualmountpoint option to identify a directory within a file system provides a direct path to the files you want to back up, saving processing time. It is more efficient to define a virtual mount point within a file system than it is to define that file system using the domain option, and then to use the exclude option in your include-exclude options list to exclude the files that you do not want to back up. Use the virtualmountpoint option to define virtual mount points for multiple file systems, for local and remote file systems, and to define more than one virtual mount point within the same file system. Virtual mount points cannot be used in a file system handled by automounter. Note: If the directory that you want to specify as a virtual mount point is a symbolic link, set the followsymbolic option to Yes. If that option is set to no (the default), you are not permitted to use a symbolic link as a virtual mount point. After you define a virtual mount point, you can specify the path and directory name with the domain option in either the default client options file or on the incremental command to include it for incremental backup services. When you perform a backup or archive using the virtualmountpoint option, the query filespace command will list the virtual mount point in its response along with other file systems. Generally, directories that you define as virtual mount points are treated as actual file systems and require that the virtualmountpoint option is specified in the dsm.sys file to restore or retrieve the data. Note: When you specify a virtualmountpoint option, the path that it specifies is added to the default backup domain (domain ALL-LOCAL). The virtualmountpoint path is always considered a local mount point regardless of the real file system type it points to. Supported Clients This option is valid for all UNIX and Linux clients. The Tivoli Storage Manager client API does not support this option. Options File Place this option in the dsm.sys file. Syntax Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagram .- ---. V | ---VIRTUALMountpoint directory-+- Parameters directory Specifies the path and directory name for the directory you want to use as the virtual mount point for a file system. You cannot use wildcard characters in either the path or directory names. Define only one virtual mount point with each virtualmountpoint option that you include in your client system options file. Use the virtualmountpoint option as many times as necessary to define all of the virtual mount points that you want to use. Examples Options file: virtualmountpoint /afs/xyzcorp.com/home/ellen virtualmountpoint /afs/xyzcorp.com/home/ellen/test/data Command line: Does not apply. Hope this help..

Do a vmstat while the TSM server is starting and look for PI/PO. If present you are paging and that is probably the cause of the disk activity on rootvg.

Re: Question regarding Administration user ADMIN_CENTER
I got this from : Tivoli Storage Manager Administration Center: Frequently Asked Questions When you install a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.3 server, an administrator named ADMIN_CENTER with the password ADMIN_CENTER is automatically created. The health monitor uses this administrator to access the server and obtain health information. Before you can use the health monitor, it must be configured. This consists of setting the default password for the ADMIN_CENTER administrator and optionally adjusting the health monitor refresh interval. This configuration only needs to be done once, regardless of the number of administrators and server connections you add. The new password you specify will be applied to all of the servers that are connected to the Administration Center. By default, the ADMIN_CENTER administrator is locked.

archiving question
I have a conundrum similiar to a recent posting. We have ~ 140 servers getting backed up. Management wants to take an archive of every backed up server bi-monthly (our normal backup retention is 60 versions/60 days). These would get kept for 1 year. At year-end, every system would take an archive that gets kept 7 years. Since there are going to be 2 retention requirements, I created 2 management classes to match up. Currently I manage all our backups through server-side client option sets. Ideally, I would like the archive jobs to use those same option sets to determine what should get archived. From what I've been able to find, that's not possible. Which leaves 2 choices, both ugly. 1. Create 2 archive schedules for every server, so I can put custom info in the Objects field. (1 schedule for each retention possibility) 2. Create 2 archive schedules for each type of server (novell,MS,ect), and specify common objects to get backed up. i.e. vol1:\* for netware, and something like c:\* for windows. #1 is very ugly for obvious reasons. #2 wouldn't even really work, since not all servers need the same things archived. Some windows servers have a D:\ that would need archiving, while on most servers, D:\ would be the cdrom drive. Like I said, the most thrilling answer would be to find out there is a way to make archives use the Client Option Sets. Otherwise, is there an option #3 or 4 that I've missed here? The netware client documentation implies that there's an include.archive option that can be used in Option Sets, but it doesn't explain how. When I've tried testing it, it doesn't seem to work.

If you do a 'file /dev/IBMtape0', you should get something like this: /dev/IBMtape0: block special (X/Y) If not, you're using the wrong device file. Dmitri
Re: TSM 5.2 Installation Guide
Just a quick question. I have the 5.3 Install guide, but I cannot find the 5.2 Install guide. Does anyone have the link? Thanks! Aaron

Upgrade to TSM 5.3 with TSM 5.2 web interface messes up frame
Greetings, I just upgraded a TSM server to 5.3 and also installed the migration TSM 5.2 Web interface. The 5.2 Web interface basically works, but the center frame is missing. The left hand navigation bar is correct, but when I open up something that should produce content in the center frame, instead it opens a whole new window and puts the content there. I can limp along with this behavior, but it is annoying to have to go back and forth between two windows. If this is an old topic I am sorry, I looked for it on the archives and couldn't find it. Best Regards, John D. Schneider Technology Consultant
