Journal backup to multiple servers
Hi all I'm using Client 5.3.2 on W2K3. Is there a way to use journal based backup if I like to backup one file system to two TSM-Servers? I'm able to set up multiple Journal Services, but as much as I know over TSM Journaled Based Backup it's not recommended to have multiple journal services running for the same file system. thanks in advance Lukas -- GMX DSL-Flatrate 1 Jahr kostenlos* + WLAN-Router ab 0,- Euro* Bis 31.12.2005 einsteigen!

TSM Reporting tools
I'm looking for some tools that will allow me to track the data coming in from each node and then allow me to see trends. Throwing the info into a spreadsheet and then accessing it through a web interface would be good. I also would like to generate other reports on how things are going, check on the general health of my TSM environment and do some assorted tweaking if needed. I played around with TSMManager several months ago and it had some interesting features but I wasn't able to follow through with it. I'm currently running TSM 5.2 on a Windows box, but I'll be going to 5.3 and ISC in the next few weeks. I don't really care for ISC but I'll get used to it.

Re: TSM Reporting tools
I use ServerGraph. Good tool, price is right. It can generate both online screen reports and batch reports. There are many other features, I believe you can get a free trial at their website - www.servergraph.com.

storage agent / tapeutil question for HPUX
hi all,
after installing tapeutil and atdd for HPUX i must detect serial numbers for
tape devices, after starting tapeutil and opening device /dev/rmt/1mnb
i get
Device /dev/rmt/1mnb opened.
INQUIRY rc 22 (Invalid argument)
The IOC_REQUEST_SENSE ioctl failed: Invalid argument

ATDD worked fine
during installation the production server hanged and we needed a reboot !
how to get rid of loaded STAPE driver (i asume it's a driver) and make it
use atdd (if installed correctly)
#dmesg returns among other stuff this ...
atdd: load() called
atdd: Class is tape
atdd: control init!
atdd: Load complete!
storage agent is version 5.3.1.5

the communication works fine

i asume that atdd didn't after all install/load correctly, what do you think
?
another thing on test machine command
# /opt/atdd/bin/atdd_cfg -g DEVICES
DEVICES: 6
it gives 6 which is okay ... but on new machine
-- /opt/atdd/bin/atdd_cfg -g DEVICES
Error opening Configuration file /dev/rmt/atdd.cfg: rc=-1, errno=2
it seems that atdd configuration is broken ...
what to do ? remove it then reinstall ? how will device recognize that they
need atdd ?
does insf -e has options for defining which drivers shoud tape devices use ?
sooo many questions, so little answers on these holidays ... :-|
sorry for long post but i really need help,
thanks for any clue
goran
merry xmas and happy new year

TCPWindowsize
Hi all, We were checking the throughput on our new tsm server (5.3 on suse sles9) and I encountered the following in the serveroptions: TCPWindowsize 64512 The manual states the maximum value is 2048 (which is 2mb). Should I set it to 2048 in my dsmserv.opt or leave it as is? Thanks, Geert PS: Basically, we were looking to find an answer to the intermittent disk writes, I would expect a streaming write instead of intermittent writes to disk.
Re: TCPWindowsize
Check out the TSM performance and tuning guide. It has specific recommendations for all of those types of values. TCPWindowsize should be set to 63 on Linux. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsmm.doc/sc32-9101-03.htm __ John Monahan Senior Consultant Enterprise Solutions Computech Resources, Inc.

TCPWindowsize should be set to 63 on Linux. Keep in the back of your mind that you might need a larger window size for high latency links. I'm doing some remote virtual volume work at about the 300 mile range, and the classical TCP/IP tuning recommendations for that at gigabit speeds are much higher. http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/aixbman/prftungd/netperf3.htm - Allen S.

Missed admin schedule
Hi again, I have an Windows 2003 TSM server at 5.3.0.2 with a single admin schedule. Its the new type of schedule, created by the ISC to run housekeeping. The schedule refuses to run, showing as missed every day. There is nothing in the actlog for this schedule either at the scheduled time or at the time that it is marked missed. There is no other admin schedule that could conflict with this, although there is a client schedule that kicks off at the same time each day. I can run a one time, old style schedule (running the same script) to recover from the problem - this has no issues whatsoever. Has anyone seen this before? Regards Steve.
