Re: TSM Server Stop Working
Hi I don't believe the service pack is an issue as we are running the same library on W2K3 Sp1 with 3 LTO3 drives without problems. I would suggest to use the TSM windows Management plugin (MMC) go to the device page under the tsm server instance and compare your path definition with what windows can see. It looks funny to me that the library manager doesnt have the lowest SCSI address. Are the library and drives online?

-nodename no longer there for UNIX...
Hi *SM-ers! Does anybody know why IBM decided to drop the -nodename parameter for the UNIX clients? I discovered that this parameter no longer works in 5.3. It's documented in the manuals but that's not correct (IC46024). I'm trying to find a way to give our standby a way to restore data from another node, without the help of a TSM admin. I know there is a -fromnode parameter, but that requires a lot of extra work (accessing the source node, updating the node access list, restoring the file on the target server, again accessing the source server, removing the node from the access list). It would be so much easier when one could use the -nodename parameter! And I really cannot think of any reason why it was dropped! I would like to know how other people solve this.

Re: Windows HSM experiences?
On Tue, 17 Jan 2006 13:28:36 -0500, Richard Rhodes [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: We are a Novell shop that has made a decision to migrate to Windows for file and print serving. There is talk about implementing the HSM client for Windows to help solve disk space problems. Is anyone using Windows HSM client and what are your experiences with it - good and bad. I had a bad experience with it; it was the presentation about it in Oxford. The Windows HSM implementation is very very different from the unix one. One example: If you have a HSM filesystem, and you put a file down: Day 1: You run an incr, and back up the file. Day 1.1: HSM decides to migrate your file. A stub is left. Day 2: You run an incr, and back up the stub. (!) Yes, your actual backup is now inactive. I asked about this three times. HSM might not migrate the file immediately, of course. But whenever it does, you'll cut a new copy of the (from your perspective 'unchanged') file, and make the complete version inactive. If you later retrieve the (in your opinion unchanged) file, the next incr will make another new version, and for a while your active version will be the full file. The long and short of it was that the presenter felt the Windows HSM client was appropriate for very, very static filespaces; perhaps PDF output repositories or report holding bins? But it seemed clear to me that it was not suitable for the kinds of tasks I've been accustomed to deploying on UNIX HSM. - Allen S. Rout - Apologies for the double 'very very'.
Re: Failed Attempt to Free Memory
Sounds like its time for a Severity 1 call to Tivoli Support. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/17/06 4:57 PM Hey all, I kind of have a serious question. I have been looking at a specific error that we have been receiving. I understand that there have been some problems with offsite reclamation, that if the data is not moved off the disk there is a possibility of TSM crashing. However, I have disabled all the automated schedules, and perform migration myself to make sure that all the data is moved off the disk onto the tapepool. I then proceed to do a reclamation of our offsite tapes (copypool) and sure enough I see error after error that there is a failed attempt to free memory, and capoot goes TSM. I hear this is because of an un initialized variable. I made sure that everything is moved off disk and onto tape. IBM did a diagnostics on our server and came and replaced the controller card, so pretty sure this is not a hardware issue. Here are the specs: Box: IBM x346 OS: RH EL 4 TSM: 5.2.6 Lib: IBM 3583 w/ 3 LTO 2 drives. There error mentions the bufutil.c (something like that). Thanks! Aaron

Antwort: Re: Windows HSM experiences?
hello allen, you describe mixed solution with tsm and hsm, let us view tsm: you will only have two sorts of files on the filesystem: the original file or (after hsm migration) the stub (or not, it depends on the hsm configuration) so tsm will have the stub and the original file in its storage, how many of them depends on the copygroup parameters. often the active version will be the stub file hsm: hsm migrates the file and the file is in the tsm storage, stub file is left. so you have to mention both hsm and tsm parameters very carefuly, that no data is lost. when you restore the filesystem, you can decide to do it with tsm, then a mix of stub files and original files is restored (this is exact the filesystem as it was at last tsm backup), or you can restore with hsm, then all original files are restored. with best regards stefan savoric

Here is the actual Error: ANRD Invalid attempt to free memory (invalid header); called from 8217515 (bfutil.c (4599)). ANRD Invalid attempt to free memory (invalid header); called from 8217515 (bfutil.c (4599)). . . . . . . . . . . CAPOOT goes TSM * Orig. Message.. Hey all, I kind of have a serious question. I have been looking at a specific error that we have been receiving. I understand that there have been some problems with offsite reclamation, that if the data is not moved off the disk there is a possibility of TSM crashing. However, I have disabled all the automated schedules, and perform migration myself to make sure that all the data is moved off the disk onto the tapepool. I then proceed to do a reclamation of our offsite tapes (copypool) and sure enough I see error after error that there is a failed attempt to free memory, and capoot goes TSM. I hear this is because of an un initialized variable. I made sure that everything is moved off disk and onto tape. IBM did a diagnostics on our server and came and replaced the controller card, so pretty sure this is not a hardware issue. Here are the specs: Box: IBM x346 OS: RH EL 4 TSM: 5.2.6 Lib: IBM 3583 w/ 3 LTO 2 drives. There error mentions the bufutil.c (something like that). Thanks! Aaron

Re: TDP for Domino error
Backup terminated due to timeout message is coming from the Domino API. By default the Notes API functions (called by the TDP) allow 15 minutes for each backup unit to complete before timing out. This is to prevent any potential server hangs that could prevent the backup from completing. . To increase the timeout interval use the notes.ini parameter BACKUP_TIMEOUT=xx where xx is the number of minutes to allow for the backup before timing out. I would suggest to put 60 minutes.

acsls library client query path etc ...
Just trying out library sharing, following documentation in the admin guide Configuring ACSLS-Managed Libraries http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsmaixn.doc/anragd53147.htm Apparently working fine, as library client mounts/reads/writes tapes as expected.

EMC Centera
Hi team, We are in the process of testing an EMC Centera as a storage repository for TSM. We find the following snippet in: Technical Changes for Version 5 Release 2 -- January 2004 EMC Centera Support ... Centera devices can also be used as standard storage devices if no mandatory retention requirements exist for the data. ... We have no mandatory retention requirements We just want TSM to control retention like he always has on other devices. Now, by following the FM closely we are able to get data written to, read from, the Centera BUT when our storage admin types do their periodic housecleaning, unbeknown to TSM, all the TSM data is deleted. Apparently there is an attribute of deleteable or not deleteable somewhere in that box and TSM is not setting it. Anyone have any knowledge/advice on how to get TSM and EMC Centera to agree on retention controls? TIA, Ted Spendlove ATK Thiokol Propulsion
Re: TDP for Domino error
Robert, Are you seeing these timeout errors in Domino?

By default the Notes API functions (called by the TDP) allow 15 minutes for each backup unit to complete before timing out. This is to prevent any potential server hangs that could prevent the backup from completing. . To increase the timeout interval use the notes.ini parameter BACKUP_TIMEOUT=xx where xx is the number of minutes to allow for the backup before timing out. I would suggest to put 60 minutes.

Re: acsls library client query path etc ...
I'm have a similar setup and it's true, the library client has no paths and no drives. So, q libv won't work either, only the library manager sees these volumes.

Backup larger than data on server
We have TSM version 5.2. The client server I am referring to here is Redhat linux. In the /var/log/tsm/dsmsched.log it lists Total number of bytes transferred:79.18 GB However there is only around 60 Gb of data on the server (see df below) FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 9.7G 2.1G 7.1G 23% / /dev/sdb2 104G 57G 43G 58% /opt Can someone explain why the number of bytes transferred exceeds the amount of data on the server?

I think retransmits due to files changing during the backup (a common problem when backing up Linux boxes) will be counted each time even though only the last such transfer is actually kept by the server. It's been a while since I ran the TSM client on a Linux box, though, so I can't verify this, at least not yet. Kelly
