Re: Admin Center
I have run Admin Center on 2 different machines with the 64-bit kernel without any issues. If something is found not to work just because of the 64-bit issue I'll do what I do for the other things that don't work in Admin Center like DRM setup - use the command line. If it really comes down to some catastrophe I can switch back to the 32 bit kernel with a little work. I find it ludicrous that all TSM software is supported with the 64 bit kernel except for the admin interface to manage it. __ John Monahan Senior Consultant Enterprise Solutions Computech Resources, Inc.

Fw: Determining which side of an optical platter a file is on?
JD, The "query content" output is in sequential order of how the files are found on the volume. Since the platters are written as a sequential volume, first the front, then the back, you can take the "query content" output, and minimize manipulation of the cartridge itself by requesting the files in that order. That jumps the answer to your question (I don't think there's an easy way to get what you want, if there's a way at all), but it gets you close to the action you're looking for.

Re: Determining which side of an optical platter a file is on?
Hi Allen. =) The goal is to move this data (through a conversion process) onto new hardware, and Content-Addressable-Storage (CAS) technology like Centera or IBM's DR550. Given the size of the data, this migration will take months, and the systems simply can't be offline, nor is an investment in new hardware warranted. I'm still no closer to finding a good answer to my question about how to determine which side of a platter I can find specific data. Is there anyone out there who can shed some light on the subject? -JD.

Re: TSMManager Vaulting
Hey all! Thanks so much for your help! Our production is up and running! I just have a question on our Vaulting. TSM - 5.2.60 RHEL 4 IBM 3583 Tape Library - Only 1 slot i/o door. We just started vaulting just on Friday. I am checking in and out tapes pretty well. However, I have a volume 622ANWL2 that I checked out on Friday. However, the volume appears to be in the library according to TSMManager. However it says the location is offsite. It has never requested that this tape to be returned, so, I don't know why it lists it in the 'q libvol'. In addition, when I check in my tapes after retrieving them from the vault, I cannot check them in as scratch tapes. It will only accept them as private. When I try to do an audit on the library by checking table, and all I get is an I/O error, and I think this is because it is looking for 622ANWL2. I also received an error when checking out the volumes the second day of vaulting.

Re: Admin Center
We run Admin Center on our AIX system with 64bit AIX. It seemed to work just fine . . . but then, I haven't actually used it since, well, we installed it. We use the old GUI and cmd line. I attended one of the IBM Web meetings on using ISC/AdminCenter. I asked this very question about support on 64 bit AIX. The guy basically said they hadn't tested it on 64 bit AIX and it wasn't on their roadmap. I thought this was very strange, to say the least - another example of the disconnect with ISC/AdminCenter.

Re: TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1 problem
Hi Farren, A few observations: 1. The script below is doing an "incremental" backup... not a selective. With "incremental" backups, the .NSF file will not be backed up unless the DBIID has changed. The archivelog will capture the changes. The User's Guide discusses this in more detail. 2. I recommend that you upgrade to the latest Data Protection for Domino. Site: ftp.software.ibm.com Dir: /storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tivoli-data-protection/domino/win32/v5301/ It includes fixes for some GUI crashes. 3. domdsmc does allow wildcards, so you could do something like: domdsmc incremental mail2\* /subdir=no If you don't want some databases backed up, you can EXCLUDE them. The User's Guide discusses this in more detail.

TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1 problem
Hi all I have just had a client on the phone with a TDP for Domino problem. I am not really familiar with this or the Windows 2000 server it's running on and may well not provide enough information from the off so please let me know what else is required. Running TSM Server 5.1.6.2 on Solaris. The problem is with a 5.1.5.1 TDP Domino Client running on Windows 2000 SP4 (5:00:2195). Basically, if he does a selective backup (using the script below) it works fine, but incrementals seem to run OK but don't actually back anything up (except the transaction logs I think). Any ideas what the problem might be ? Also, he was originally trying to backup the mail dir but the GUI would just keep dropping out when he tried to do a manual backup. As such he has attempted to create a new dir called mail2 with database links pointing to the necessary databases. When he does this and used the GUI to look in mail2, it works fine. I'm sorry if I haven't provided the correct info but I'm not a Windows admin and have very limited knowledge in this realm. Many thanks in advance Farren Minns John Wiley & Sons Ltd The batch file that he runs looks as follows.

When I was doing a lot of this, I did an export with no filedata first, moved the node into its' new home, and then did an additional export to send the data.

I don't think there's a "requirement"; IIRC, when you pass over a file which is bound to a devclass which does not exist on the target server, the file is rebound to the default MC. So, if there are distinctions you wish to maintain, then be sure you've got parallel management classes with parallel definitions. You may find this simplest to perform by first exporting the domain; EXPORT POLICY is the way to start. - Allen S. Rout
Re: v5r3 on gentoo and need libgpfs.so
I can help with this as well if needed.
Allen, we're you the one who originally submitted the ebuilds to
bugzilla? I submitted an updated ebuild back last year. I'm still
curious about the license restrictions on this. As I posted on bugzilla,
the client is useless without a TSM server. IBM posts these on a public
FTP site. Still my ebuils all have fetch restriction turned on.

Here's the ebuild we use for TSM on Gentoo at the moment. This is probably
bountifully unsupported; don't count on IBM being able to help you with it.
In addition to pulling down the publicly available clients, this ebuild makes
some assumptions about where you want things and what you want done. For
example, we stick the password caches in /etc/tivoli and we stick the logs in
/var/log. Take a look at it and make sure you agree with its' opinions.
We make a bunch of symlinks to take care of the libpath stuff.
If you don't know how to add this to your local portage tree and install it,
you need to look up local gentoo Portage trees. I can't help you with it.

Here's the ebuild we use for TSM on Gentoo at the moment. This is probably
bountifully unsupported; don't count on IBM being able to help you with it.
In addition to pulling down the publicly available clients, this ebuild makes
some assumptions about where you want things and what you want done. For
example, we stick the password caches in /etc/tivoli and we stick the logs in
/var/log. Take a look at it and make sure you agree with its' opinions.
We make a bunch of symlinks to take care of the libpath stuff.
If you don't know how to add this to your local portage tree and install it,
you need to look up local gentoo Portage trees. I can't help you with it.

Re: Determining which side of an optical platter a file is on?

WORM; OK, my optical installation was rewritable, and I must have missed where you mentioned this. I thought you said something about taking the data out of TSM, processing it, and then putting it back in. I'm confused though; if you're worried about the fragility of the current system, isn't getting the data off the optical one of the goals of the operation? Might the 3592 WORM media help you there? If your access to that data is sufficiently seldom, you might get away with tape mount latency too, and then you'd save many squares of floorspace. :) Our use of the 3995 was not 'occasional', we certainly had many many mounts. I agree entirely with your evaluation of "put it on disk!". At one point I was using optical volumes in a manner similar to that in which most of us use disk now: I had only 2 tape mount points, I used the my 4 optical mount points so I could at least get six clients backing up at once. Shudder. I was glad to see that silo go on the loading dock. - Allen S. Rout
Re: Slow backup performance
It looks like all your tsa/tcp modules are a little out of date. If possible, I'd get nw65sp4a installed on it. Alternately, you could just run the tsa5up18 & tcp659j updates. Your tsa.cfg file looks pretty standard, and I've never really had trouble with it unless "Cache Memory Threshold" is set over 20/25%. The Delayed Acknowledgement parameter can be set a couple different ways. Either a "set delayed acknowledgement = off/on" at the commandline, or through the remote manager portal for the server (click "set parameters", then "communications"). If you do it from the commandline, the setting won't stick after reboot unless you add it to the autoexec.ncf. The other thing I noticed is that you've got resourceutilization set to 6 in dsm.opt. Usually there's not much reason to set it any more than #tape drives+1. I've experienced problems here trying to set it to anything more than 4. ymmv, as always. If the problem is disk-system performance, you will want to verify that you're running the latest drivers for your raid/scsi adapter. Also be sure to update the controller's firmware to the latest version. Here's some netware settings to look at in Remote Manager under "set parameters"/"disk" Auto scan for devices ON Auto load of CDM modules ON Snapshot Allocate Block Count 5000 Sequential Elevator Depth 6000 (the default is way to low at 8) Enable IO Handicap Attribute OFF Mirrored Devices Are Out Of Sync Message Frequency 28 Remirror Block Size 1 Concurrent Remirror Requests 32 Ignore Partition Ownership OFF Ignore Disk Geometry OFF Multi-path Support OFF Enable Hardware Write Back ON (Depending on your controller, you might want to experiment with this OFF) Enable Disk Read After Write Verify OFF (make sure this is off) Auto LFVMount ON Troy Frank Network Services University of Wisconsin Medical Foundation 608.829.5384 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/18/2005 1:57:22 AM >>> Hi Troy, Thanks for responding.

Do you have any 6.5 service packs applied? Any of the TSA or TCP updates? What settings are you using when you load tsafs (look in sys:\etc\sms\tsa.cfg), and are you using "ResourceUtilization" or any other performance setttings in your dsm.opt? You might also want to check your server's tcp settings to make sure that TCP Delayed Ackknowlegement is off. As has been mentioned already, it's also very possible that there is something wrong in the nic/switch setup. There is no "always right" answer as to how they should be configged. Some nic/switch combos work best with both hardcoded, some with both on auto, and some with one hardcoded/one on auto. I would also make sure you're running the newest version of the nic driver.
