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
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?

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

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

I don`t find a command to get the status from off-line to sync (for example: update dbcopy.) The situation: I want to make a copy-synconisation of the db and log - Files (3 times) No problem: define dbcopy/logcopy works wonderful. The Server is a Windows 2003 with tsm 5.3.2.2 One Copy is on the disk D: the other 2 Copies are on a raid-system. Now the problem: If one disk has no connection to the system (hardware-error, net-problems...) the tsm-system works wonderful further with the disk, which is accessible for the system. And the non accessible disks changed the status from sync to off-line. To change the status from off-line to sync, we need two commands: delete dbvol ... and define dbcopy ... The same problem is with the log-files. I need the command update dbcopy/logcopy ... Can somebody help me by this wish?

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

Re: -nodename no longer there for UNIX...
Hi Andy (and of course Richard!)! Thank you very much for your reply! I thought that all parameters were equal across all clients, but I was wrong. The VIRTUALNODE parameter appears to do exactly what I want, but now another issue arises. I would like to create a single line command to do a cross client restore and my clients are spread across two TSM servers. So I thought of using the -TCPSERVERADDRESS parameter to cover this. I issue the following command: Dsmc -virtualnode= -tcpserveradddress= This results in a: ANS1108E Invalid option (-TCPSERVERADDRESS) for the LOOP command The manual GC32-0789-05 states that it is a valid option...

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

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: -nodename no longer there for UNIX...
Eric - The proper option to use for that purpose is -VIRTUALNodename. See "Restore or retrieve files to another workstation" in the client manual.

-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: 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?
