INCR vs FULL Backup
HI all, My comp has policy to do ONLY INCR backup on filesystem for unix machines. We need to re-schedule a filesystems backup for TSM server and I'm wondering the impact of restore if we only do incremental backup as oppose to full backup. The TSM filesystems being backup doesnt really change much and I'm worried it would be difficult to restore if the retention period expires. The reason the mgt do not fancy full backup is because they do not want to jam the other backup sessions and waste resources. Thanks and Warmest Regards, ___ DKSH Market Intelligence Liew Callie DKSH Corporate Shared Services Center Sdn Bhd Lot L4-E-3A, Enterprise 4, Technology Park Malaysia, 57000 Kuala Lumpur.

Re: LTO drive error on MOVE DRMEDIA
Andrew For more information on the library errors you can look at three (or four )places if you have the latest library firmware. One less if you do not. With the latest firmware level the web interface to the library will let you view the library error log. It is in the service group. You will need the maintenance Information book which is downloadable from ibm's web site to look up the error codes. Or there is an hard copy that came with the library. If you do not have the latest firmware you can view the error logs from the front panel. There is also an lcd display on the front of the lto tape drives which displays a subset of errors. And you can turn on snmp traps to send error messages out to you. I believe that IBM also added a feature where one can download the error logs, but I have not looked into that yet. Let us know what you find out.

Re: LTO drive error on MOVE DRMEDIA
Thank you for the quick response Wanda. I'll keep an eye on the drive and give IBM a call. Oh and thanks for the advice on DRMCHECKLABEL.

Unlikely this has anything to do with DRM; probably you would have the same problems when using the drive for any other TSM operation.

TSM_ISC_5320_AIX.bin dependent on /usr/bin/X11/xset ?
When I initially installed TSM_ISC_5320_AIX.bin on AIX 5300-03 (64bit) there was a java exception at the install script over "/usr/bin/X11/xset" being missing. After installing TSMAdminCenter5320.tar, I noticed that the error message "This portlet is unavailable." occurs throughout the admin center. After carefully uninstalling AdminCenter & ISC, and re-installing ISC, I see that the message also occurs in ISC independent of whether AdminCenter is installed. If there is a dependency on "/usr/bin/X11/xset", does anyone know which fileset that corresponds to? Does the ISC need X11 to be installed on headless servers? Here is some of the text from the end of the ISC install script: Press 1 for Next, 2 for Previous, 3 to Cancel or 4 to Redisplay [1] java.io.IOException: /usr/bin/X11/xset: not found at java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(Native Method) at java.lang.UNIXProcess.(UNIXProcess.java:72) at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Native Method) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:602) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:524) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:490) at com.ibm.wizard.platform.aix.AixExecCmd.runCommand(AixExecCmd.java:213) at com.ibm.wizard.platform.aix.AixExecCmd.(AixExecCmd.java:168) at com.ibm.wizard.platform.aix.AixExecCmd.(AixExecCmd.java:112) at com.ibm.wizard.platform.aix.AixWizardInitializeServiceImpl.cleanup(AixWizardInitializeServiceImpl.java:156) at com.ibm.wizard.platform.aix.AixExtendedWizardInitializeServiceImpl.cleanup(AixExtendedWizardInitializeServiceImpl.ja:95) at com.installshield.wizard.service.LocalImplementorProxy.close(LocalImplementorProxy.java:33) at com.installshield.wizard.service.ServiceFactory.shutdownService(ServiceFactory.java:32) at com.installshield.wizard.service.LocalWizardServices.shutdown(LocalWi at com.installshield.wizard.Wizard.shutdownServices(Wizard.java:570) at com.installshield.wizard.Wizard.exit(Wizard.java:507) at com.installshield.wizard.Wizard$RunThread.run(Wizard.java:1588) Confidentiality Notice: The content of this communication, along with any attachments, is covered by federal and state law governing electronic communications and may contain confidential and legally privileged information.

PREShedulecmd "situation"
We had a problem last night where out POSTSchedulecmd did not run. Checking back, it turned out that between the time the client picked up it's schedule, we had disabled sessions pending installation of an emergency patch on TSM. What the client did was run the PREShedulecmd, then found out the TSM server was not available. By the time the server was available, it was beyond it's startup window and never ran. I assume this is "working as designed", which is the answer I get alot from IBM, but just thought I would let you all know that. It wasn't totally clear from the manual that this was the expected behaviour.

Most tape vendors use 2.mumble for their expected compression ratio. Database backups tend to be extremely compressible, so tend to be much better than that. For some examples, my original 3592 drives, 300G raw capacity, are "full" at 450-500G when filled with random filesystem data. When they're holding TSM DB backups, they are "full" at 1.2TB. When they're holding DB2 database backups, they don't "Fill up" until more like 1.7TB. So don't worry too much about it, and if you want to prove that you've got it all, test a restore somewhere. - Allen S. Rout

Magic. Your posting did not specify which level of 9840 drive/cartridge technology is being used. I'll then assume 9840A. Info I found online says of the basic 9840: "The native 20GB cartridge capacity can be significantly extended by StorageTek's enhanced LZ-1 compression technology (4:1 compression is typical)." As your concerns express, however, you are near the edge of a cliff, and the best general advice in life is "Stay away from the edge." I would pursue modernization of tape technologies there. If demands pushed your TSM db further, you might consider firing up a second TSM server. Richard Sims

Dave - If you do 'Query DB Format=Detailed' you will see your db page size and thereby can compute the actual amount of space required on the backup volume. Compare that with your technology specs, and take into consideration compression which may be in effect per your Devclass. Richard Sims

Re: "q occ" and "q backup" show huge differences
Yes, but "q backup -inact -subdir=yes /filespace/" includes directories and files both active and inactive. And the number of files and directories I get from this command isn't even the half of what q occ shows for the primary stgpool.

TSM Management Console stalls PC
Hi *SMers, I'm running the TSM 5.3.2.0 Mangament Console on a Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine. When I start the monitor function, let accumulate 2 or 3 screens full of messages, right-click and select "clear" sometimes my PC comes to a halt. The screen is black and the keyboard (NUM key) doesn't react any more. I had this happen 3 times and one time a short message popped up leading me to the impression that TSM overwrites some storage used by the graphics device driver. Has anyone else seen this before? Should I open a PMR with IBM? Should I switch to a real OS ;-) ? Kind regards Thomas Rupp
Re: "q occ" and "q backup" show huge differences
Keep in mind that Q OCC is showing "objects", not "files". This includes directory objects.

An 'rm' on an open file will remove its entry from the directory, but the inode will remain until the application closes its file descriptor. Some subsystems use this "trick" for lock files and temp files to intentionally render their activity invisible: you will see no files in the directory, but the directory timestamp and disk monitors sure reflect activity, and disk space sure is being used.

export/import with StS connection
Hi all, following scenario. Server one have a disk only backup. Server two have a tapelibrary. We do a export data over StS connection from one server to another. On server one we run everyday the "del volh type=all" command My question : After this "del volh" expires the exported data on server two ? Kind regards Michael Garnebode
