TSM and QoS
Hello, Since most IT departments like the word centralize I wonder how other achieve a centralized TSM enviroment. We have smaller sites with 10-40 servers connected to main office with 20-155Mbit. One way to setup backup and recovery is to attach all servers to a networked storage system. Clone/snapshot the data for a local recovery. TSM handles (historical) backups and archives which are send to the main office over WAN. We can do recovery at the main office for a destroyed office. The tricky thing here is to get all the data over WAN. TSM doesn´t QoS tag the pacakges and TSM is happy to use all available bandwith and all other resources it can lay it hands on. Am I forced to use Manual Hacks in my routers to automaticly prioritize TSM traffic. Or are there any other way to prioritize the traffic?

how to define msl 6060 (or neo 4000)
all, I am using aix 5.3 and tsm5.3.3 with a 3583 3xlto2 quite happily. I want to add a msl 6060 but cannot get tsm/aix to see it. I have tried smit-dev-tsm-dev, cfgmgr but nothing will become available. how do I get to the point where I can DEF LIBR? I also can test a neo 2000 if necessary.

multiple dsmcad procs running
Goodday, We have IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3.2.0 running on a ppc64 redhat machine One of the clients is a hp 9000 with hpux 11.i V1. By accident I started three instances of adsmcad. I killed two of them and happily went home at the end of the day. The next day I found out that the backup didn't run because the TSM server was unable to contact the client. In the dsmsched.log I found that the last scheduled action was one of the killed dsmcad processes. Am I right in assuming that correct authentication only takes place between the server and the dsmcad process that initiated the first contact with the server? So, in this case the TSM server didn't recognize the dsmcad process? Thanks in advance for your reply.

What probably happened (no way to be sure without the logs): the first dsmcad process you started began listening to the default port number, probably 1581. The processes you started after that couldn't use that port, since it was in use. Then you killed some dsmcad processes, including the one that was listening on 1581. The dsmcad that you left running was listening on an unknown (by the TSM server) port. The TSM server then tried to contact the dsmcad process on its default port, but on that port nothing was listening so communication failed. -- Jurjen Oskam Savage's Law of Expediency: You want it bad, you'll get it bad.

Like the Scheduler itself, the CAD uses a single, defined port number for incoming communication from the server. And only one process can acquire a given port number. Kill of the port-holder process, and then there's nobody listening. See IBM Technote 1079454 for the gospel on this. Richard Sims

Re: Random Access Disk Pools
Hi Rod! TSM stores backups as aggregates. An aggregate can contain multiple client backup files. The client files within an aggregate will expire over time and thus occupy space within the aggregate. When you use a file device class or a tape, you can reclaim the wasted space these expired files occupy within the aggregates by moving unexpired files to new aggregates. This is done through reclamation. Since reclamation is only available for sequential acces storage pools, you cannot reclaim diskpools and thus the wasted space within an aggregate will only be reusable when all the files in an aggregate are expired and the aggregate is deleted. If you have backups with a very long retention in your shop, it could take quite some time before an aggregate becomes completely empty. Hope this clears thing up for you.

That space is unusable if I'm not migrating to another primary area? Eventually I'll have to allocate more? Below is what comparison doc showed as consideration of fragmentation for random access pools. Guess I'm not sure what the diff is between tsm level and aggregate level.

You might try backing up each mount point as a separate client. You'll need several dsm.opt files with the proper include and clientname options.

Admin CLI issue and library config
Hi list, I have just installed TSM Server 5.3.2 on a Windows 2003 boxI was about to define the library (Dell PowerVault 132T) and its drives. The problem is that I cannot open the Administrative Command Line.once I click on its icon, the prompt window opens and closes immediatelly...I cannot even read the error message, but it seems to say somethng about the option file... Also, I've tried to configure the tape library through the Device Driver wizard..it shows the following: lb0.0.0.4 Unknown Unknown mt1.0.0.4 mt2.0.0.4 I was supposed to drag and drop both drives into the library, but it's not working. The Tape Library is a DELL PowerVault 132T with 2 QUANTUM drives. Any ideas ? Thanks Mario

Re: TSM DB backup question
Is the DB backup of any use after the next db backup is taken. The data on the volumes changes, and data is expired and tapes reclaimed...so what is the value of older db backups? We back up the db to disk and ftp a copy over to a remote site. Our backup data is kept in one tape library and the copypool in a separate library, both at separate sites. So if our main site has a fire, the backup data is available from the separate site. If that backup site has a fire, the copypool in the main site can be used to recreate the backup storage pools.

We make and retain multiple backup versions - of all kinds - because of the possiblities of both destruction and initially-undetected corruption. And Reusedelay keeps storage pool volumes intact for contingency purposes after expiration and reclamation. What would you do, for example, if damage or corruption in your TSM db lay dormant for several days, and was suddenly exposed by fresh activity in that area - and you had only the most recent db backup tape? The issues of data integrity assurance over time is well described in industry literature, and is certainly implicit in using a premier product such as TSM. Richard Sims

Re: Admin CLI issue and library config
I cannot speak to your drive issue, but regading dsmadmc: 1) Check the properties for the admin command line link, and make sure the Target and Start in paths point to the correct directory location.where dsmadmc.exe exists. 2) Make sure dsm.opt exists in the directory with dsmadmc.exe. If you do not have a dsm.opt file, or you use an options file with a name other than dsm.opt, or dsm.opt is located in a different directory, then the admin CLI will not start. As a basic test, try this: a) open an OS command line prompt. b) CD into the directory containing dsmadmc.exe (i.e., cd c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient). c) run dsmadmc and see what happens.

Re: Install errors
Did you download the software from Passport and happen to expand these files on Windows (before moving them up to the AIX server)? Windows is not case sensitive so I have seen problems in the past where people use Winzip or another Windows tool to untar the files and a fileset with en_US will get overwritten with the same fileset with EN_US in the name. I believe you should see a en_US and a EN_US version of that fileset going off of memory here. If this is the case, wait to untar the download package until after you move it to AIX and it should work. __ John Monahan Consultant Infrastructure Solutions Group Computech Resources, Inc.

DSM.OPT file
I've got a question about the usage of the TCPSERVERADDRESS line in the dsm.opt file on the clients. Currently I have the IP address of the TSM server listed in the dsm.opt file on the clients. We will be implementing a new addressing scheme for all of our servers in a couple of months and that includes the TSM server itself. In our case the DNS name of the server happens to match the name of the TSM server instance. Since our TSM server only has one NIC and thus only one IP address I went ahead and changed the line to show the DNS name of the TSM server instead of the IP on a few of the clients. The DNS name of the TSM server will not be changing, only the IP address. I wasn't sure at the time if the TSM client would work with the DNS name instead but I since found in the TSM docs it would. And found that it actually did work just fine. The next issue is that we are thinking about adding another NIC in the TSM at some point in the future to help split the load on the network. At that point the TSM server will then have two IP's. Any clients that I want to have come into the TSM server on the second NIC would have to have the IP of the second NIC in its dsm.opt file. That part makes complete sense. But what about any clients that I have with the DNS name of the TSM server in the dsm.opt file instead of the IP address? Which NIC would they connect to? If I absolutely wanted to ensure that the clients came into the TSM server on the right NIC I would make sure I had the right IP listed in that clients options file. But what would happen if I left the DNS entry in the options file?

Re: DSM.OPT file
If it's by hostname, then it should be vaguely round-robin, if your DNS has multiple address records. All connections for the cient would use the IP chosen by that clients' resolver libraries. You could also try using etherchannel. If set up correctly, you would simply have two NICs with the same IP. If you used src/dest port hashing, you could get a rough semblance of load balancing across them. This would require a switch that supports etherchannel, and an OS or device drivers that supports it. Another option would be to upgrade to gigabit if you're 100mbit, or to 10gigabit if you're already gigabit. Finally, you could just run 2 networks, and the second network could be for a small number of large clients, and the first would serve everyone else.

Re: DSM.OPT file
We use two card or one. We have both TSM names in the DNS tsm_primary and tsm_backup. We then use the name we want to use in the dsm.opt file. The backup is a private network we use just for backups. We do not route to or from this network. Thus we can be sure that a server is not going out the primary and then across a bridge or router to the backup network. If it wants to go out the primary looking for tsm_backup then it will fail and we can look at the routing tables to find out what to fix. If the system only has a primary connection then we use tsm_primary in its dsm.opt. This has worked great for us. When we move tsm to a newer machine we get it working and then just change the dns names and that night everybody goes to the new server. -- Phillip (901)320-4462 (901)320-4856 FAX -Original Message- From: Tyree, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 2:51 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] DSM.OPT file I've got a question about the usage of the TCPSERVERADDRESS line in the dsm.opt file on the clients.

Re: DSM.OPT file
What kind of scheduling do you use? If you use prompted scheduling then it's the TSM server that will contact the client for backup not the other way around. As far as which ip the client will connect to if you leave the dns entry, it will connect to the ip address that the dns entry resolves too. I don't know what kind of tsm server you have but with windows, you can create a load balancing team with multiple adapters so you do not need to assign multiple address to each nic card. That is the ideal way of doing it. If you can't do load balancing on the server then I suggest a separate network for backups. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tyree, David Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 3:51 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: DSM.OPT file I've got a question about the usage of the TCPSERVERADDRESS line in the dsm.opt file on the clients.
