Re: Normal # of failures on tape libraries
We have 5 3583's with maximum # of slots and drives in each. 3 have SCSI drives (LTO1) and 2 have FC drives (LTO2). 3 are multi-path with control path failover. 3 libraries (2 SCSI and 1 FC) haven't had problems since installation (3 yrs for SCSI / 1 yr for FC). I do believe they are OEM products but don't remember by who. Reliability on 2 of the libraries has been poor and it takes weeks to get repaired due to poor problem diagnostics with IBM support techs and poor quality HW repairs with IBM system engineers and getting DOA equipment components. In 2006 we plan to replace 4 - 3583's with 2 - 3584's due to the problems.

Re: 3584 logical library
Hello Jim With the 3584 ALMS optional feature, thing become even more interesting. With ALMS you define volser ranges assigned to each virtual library, and I believe that you can not have one range assigned to more then one virtual library. The library assigns the tape to a virtual library based on the volser. With the latest library code level the i/o station is virtualized. So as the tapes are put into the entry port the library moves the tapes to storage slots and assigns them to a virtual i/o station up to a user defined max number. An interesting side is that when the library moves the tapes from the real i/o station to the storage slots it uses both grippers to move 2 tapes at a time. But I believe that you can still use the web interface to unassign the tape and assign it a different virtual library. But I have not tried this other then our first testing. len -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Zajkowski Sent: Friday, December 30, 2005 4:21 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] 3584 logical library On Dec 28, 2005, at 9:35 AM, Aaron Durkee wrote: > When I eject a tape from one logical library into the exit / entry > port and want to check it back into the other logical library via the > exit / entry port I need to go to the web interface for the > 3584 (or lcd panel) and manually move the tape to the other logical > partition. We have the same behavior here; the 3584 virtualizes the IO door between all library partitions, so tapes put in there by one partition do not show up in another.

Scheduled backups are missing the /var filesystem while cmd line incrementials (dsmc inc /var) work. ... Richard - The problem of the Solaris client mysteriously skipping file systems is one which goes back years, unfortunately, and has usually been caused by the way the client regards the file system when it gathers stat information from the operating system. This can be caused by the way in which the file system was mounted... In the 2001 era, this was due to automounter complications. Unexpected file system types is another potential cause. An unqualified 'dsmc Incremental' (as a scheduled backup usually performs) backs up all local file systems, or those specifically specified in client Domain statements. In this case, the client is left to its own discretion to judge whether the file systems really are local, and will implicitly skip those it believes not to be local. Manually performing 'dsmc Incremental /whatever' on some directory name is not equivalent, as that is specifying that the object is to be backed up, whatever it is. The non-trivial task is to determine what's odd about the /var instances which the TSM client skips. Doing comparative 'mount -v' or 'mount -p' commands on the good and bad systems may help reveal a difference. A client trace may be needed to see what's going on. (In the AIX client, at least, it stats all mounted file systems, not just the Domain-listed ones as it starts.) I would also look for boot-time messages about /var in /var/log/messages. And don't overlook dsmerror.log. Richard Sims

Re: Novell backups
Would it be possible to make the problem server the ONLY one running backups off the san for one night? i.e. for any other servers attached to that san, don't run their backups for one night. It's sounding like the problem is i/o throughput from the san, and that would help isolate it. Depending on what your san hardware is, you may want to look at how much cache it has, what percentage of it is being used for read vs. write, and how much read-ahead it's doing for this server's volumes. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/30/2005 11:07:59 AM >>> hi The battle continues with the slow running tsm backups for netware. -tsa is set at...20, no caching (any higher causes the backup to fail). -The SAN is at raid 5 (7 disk, 1P) -San disks are each 72Gb -FC disks -1gb FC connections -Host bus adapter was the 1st thing we updated -Our backup window is tight, We have several large tsm backup running at the same time.
