Re: rebinding file backups
Hi, why don't you just do a q backup and look for the files that should be gone according to the new policy. (this can be easily scripted with a bit of grep, awk, or perl knowledge.). Put this filelist in a file and do a delete backup -filelist=myfilelist. regards, Volker Am Freitag, den 07.04.2006, 10:45 -0600 schrieb Ben Bullock: If the files still exist on the client, then they will be rebound to the new management class.

Re: Some strange tape related issues?
Good morning Richard On the first point I may have confused things. When I brought the new TSM server up I made sure the library was indeed in Auto mode, I just had it in manual when I did the initial db restore (which completed without any errors). However, I did not try to get the new TSM server to do an audit of the lib. This may sound like a silly question, but I'm assuming that the TSM audit commands can have no effect on the actual library inventory. I just want to make sure I don't create any more problems for myself. On the second point, I did run a few mtlib queries on the old server (after all server activity had finished and TSM had been halted), and on the new server immediately after it was connected to the library. The commands I ran were as follows :- mtlib -l 3494a -vqK -s fffd (to count all cleaning tapes) mtlib -l 3494a -vqK -s 12E (to count all scratch) mtlib -l 3494a -vqK -s 12C (to count all private) mtlib -l 3494a -vqK -s (to count all volumes) mtlib -l 3494a -qS (to get info about lib) mtlib -l 3494a -qI (to get a list of all volumes) I then compared the output from the old server with that of the new one and confirmed that the output was identical on both. I would not have gone ahead had this not been the case. I am assuming the atldd driver is in good shape, but apart from running the above queries, how can I tell? I am running a later version of the driver form that on the original server. As far as the lib being able to talk to the server OK, it has it's own dedicated little network. I didn't change anything on the library here, I just made sure that the required interface with the exact same IP address was present on the new server. Again, as the mtlib commands work, I'm assuming this is OK. On the third point, there are architectural differences. The original server resides on a Solaris 2.7 server, and the new one is Solaris 2.9. But, last time I tried this, I got as far as being able to back up the db, audit volumes etc, and it only started having problems when trying to migrate to tapes that already had a state of 'filling' (which I was hoping to solve this time round). So it doesn't sound like an OS problem here.

Update - Re: [ADSM-L] Some strange tape related issues?
Hi again OK, here's something I have just found, and this is on the current working live server (that has worked this way for years). When I look at the lib definition within TSM, I see the following :- Library Name 3494A Library Type 349X ACS Id - Private Category 300 Scratch Category 301 But, when I do a 'mtlib -l 3494a -qI' from the command line I see the following (just an example):- 000212 FFFA 01 10 00 (this is a copypool vol) 000222 012E 00 10 00 (this is scratch) 000223 012C 00 10 00 (this is private) Now, when I punch 300 in to my scientific calculator I get a Hex value of 12C, and that fits in with the info above. But, when I enter 301 I get 12D which does not fit in with the above 3494 assignments. So how on earth is this working at all?

(I expect so, but want to assure that basics are not overlooked.) The only other thing I could think of is that there may be some architectural inconsistency which makes a db restoral type of server transfer dubious or invalid, possibly one system being 32-bit and the other 64-bit, for example. I would pore over the Activity Log in the new server looking for other problem indications.

David - As noted in ADSM QuickFacts, a status of Destroyed, for a primary copy pool tape (by definition, on-site) has not meant that the files on the volume will be backed up again because of that. Such a status is set by a system administrator, where it would be because she realized that the volume had a problem and was undertaking recovery efforts. The files on the volume remain in the database, and indeed can be restored, from the copy storage pool. Note that a status of Destroyed is extreme in some circumstances, where in fact there may just be bad spots on the tape or bad recordings, where a Move Data would usually be employed to transfer viable files still on the tape. This is actually a case where a Damaged state prevails for some files on the tape, and a Restore Volume would thereafter fix the situation. A Destroyed status for a volume is something a person puts into place, and should be of short duration because of accompanying recovery actions. Richard Sims
Re: Problem with the Use of SP
I'm not clear on the problem definition, but if it is that two volumes are being used for the backup when you believe that only one should be, it could well be due to files being associated with a management class whose retention is modest compared to another policy set management class, where the latter will by default be used for directories, as outlined in the client manual. This is particularly an issue for Windows, where the directory entries are rich and so have to be stored in a storage pool, rather than simply in the TSM db. You can use the Query CONtent command with a negative Count value to inspect what type of objects are ending up on each volume. Richard Sims
Fw: Migrating to a Library Manager
I had said . . . Fortunely, I am able to experiment since the 3584 is new and not in production. So I've been able to set up a test environment to experiment with. Using everyones suggestions as well as a procedure we found out on the web ( http://tsmexpert.blogspot.com/2006/03/how-to-setup-library-manager-instance.html ), we were able to perform a test migration to a library manager instance in our test environment. It went very well. I only had one problem . . . there was no mention of creating a device class on the new library manager instance - so I didn't. This caused very nasty ANR messages on the library manager client when the new library manager couldn't perform mounts. Defining a device class on the new library manager quickly solved this. I tried to be a good tsm admin . . . . I tried to use ISC to do most of the work. What a frustrating tool . . . . I both liked a lot it did, and, left me pulling what little hair I still have atop my head out.I allowed it to use it's defaults for defining the library, paths and drives. I need to crawl back through these definitions to see if the defaults are what I really should have.

Thanks Richard That certainly explains the Hex code anomaly. On the FFFA problem, there are four volumes that are 'apparently' in the lib, but are not and I have checked this.

? On LTO3 cleaning tapes for a 3584
We just upgraded the drives in our 3584 library to LTO3 from LTO1 and need to order some of the new Ultrium Universal cleaning cartridges with labels. The 3584 needs then to start with CLNI or CLNU, but the suffix...should it still he L1 or is there another suffix so the library can identify which drives this cleaning tape is compatible with?

Library full
Hello, I have been running TSM 5.1.9.5 on Windows using Overland LoaderXpress LXL1U11 SCSI LTO tape library for long time but haven't really been doing anything with it. It was set up by someone else and I was only checking from time to time that it seemed running. We had the library replaced (because we suspected a problem on it) and from that time on I have been trying to clean the old mess up (learning on the fly). The library mostly worked but froze from time to time. I got the suspicion that it froze when doing audit library and when it tried to read the cleaning tape. The library vendor told me to change some settings on the library - set reserved slot and autocleaning. This way the machine connected to it won't be able to trigger the problem with cleaning tape because it will be hidden to it. The problem is that after changing the configuration of the library we have problems with checking in the tapes. I had 8 tapes in there of which only couple was used. I had lot of tapes in the query volume which I wanted to consolidate. Therefore I removed the empty scratch tapes with a series of checkout libv LibraryX LabelX checklabel=no remove=no and replaced the tapes with the old ones. I then run audit library and it finished sucessfully. But whenever I try to check in a tape I get ANR8314E Library LibraryX is full. I was thinking that the TSM may have problems with the changed library (it had 11 stots before, now it only 10). I deleted the drive, library and paths and created them again. Therefore I lost all the remaining volumes and the situation is the same - I can't check in any volumes. The audit library command finishes immediately with success. I did some Googling and found multiple references of the problem (library reporting being full when in fact it isn't) but can't see anything relevant. I also did one change which probably wasn't a wise one. During the troubleshooting of the problem (before recreating library/drive/paths) I changed some settings on the library - most notably the way how it announces itself to the host to make it more closely match what IBM says about it on http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663uid=swg21217885 . I haven't noted down what setting was there before so I can't return to it. There isn't as many options but the number of combinations (and possibly necessary recreation of library/drive/paths in TSM) is quite big. The problem is that the library needs to be restarted after changing these parameters and the OS doesn't like it either. After changing the setting and resetting (with software - Web TLC) the library it eventually stops responding at all (the device disappears from windows device manager). I found a couple of APAR's (problem reports) which talk about similar issues. I might have done also what is described in IC35882 - I thought that with label labelsource=prompt overwrite=no checkin=private I will check int the old tapes the fastest. Everywhere I am finding that audit library should at worst fix all the issues but it doesn't do anything for me at the moment (but it's possible I have everything (library settings on the library, drive/library/paths in TSM) setup wrong at the moment :-(). I'm terribly in need of help. Thank you for any clue. Michal

Re: Clustered Servers and Tivoli
I don't know the specifics about Novell, but on AIX and Windows, we are setting up N+1 backup services (N-nodes in a cluster, plus one for the cluster itself). One client on each node for its local files, and one client that works as a fail-over-service that follows the 'active' cluster node. The control files for the 'clustered' node also needs to be on a disk that fails over to the active cluster as well. That is the one that backs up the clustered data.

ANR8379I Mount point in device class DC-SUNL1000 is waiting for the volume mount to complete, status: WAITING FOR VOLUME. ANR8334I 2 matches found. DYI514 is tape number, and not always is the same; but when I execute command DISMOUNT VOLUME dyi514, I received ANR8348E DISMOUNT VOLUME: Volume DYI514 is not Idle. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance. Marcelo.
Re: Clustered Servers and Tivoli
Oh and one more thing. You'll want to edit Sys:/ETC/SMS/TSA.cfg file and change the Disable Cluster value to yes from no. Then you will have to start and stop SMS. That will also block cluster node visibility. Andrew Ferris Network Support Analyst iCAPTURE Research Centre University of British Columbia
Re: Clustered Servers and Tivoli
Hey Andrew, thanks for the help on this. What are you using for a node name. We were using the server name in this instance SDFP04c but now we are going to have our Tivoli Administrator change it to FPCLUSTER_NDPS_SERVER. Also, below I have cut and pasted our opt file. Anyway you could take a look at it and give us suggestions.

Preventive Action : Upgradation from 5.2 -- 5.3
Dear All We are in process to upgrade our TSM Server (Unix) from 5.2 - 5.3 on Unix based. Currently we are using - - TSM Server 5.2 - TSM Client 5.3 (AIX) - TDP for Oracle (AIX) Any preventive action to be performed from the experience of TSM Guru's Thanks and regards Gajendra Kr.

Resend - Policy and DRP question
I sent this query a week ago but have not received a reply back. I am resending in the hope that someone can offer some advice. We have TSM version 5.2 I have changed the standard policy so that we now keep the 10 latest versions of each file rather than 7. I have also changed our del volhist to tod=today-10 where it was previously 7. I have been told that previously we had to keep the 7 latest copy tapes and db tapes offsite for DRP to ensure that we could recover complete servers. With the changes that I have made does this mean that we have to now keep the 10 latest tapes offsite for complete DRP? Paul Dudley ANL IT Operations Dept.

5.3 questions
I'm sorry for asking a couple of simpleton questions but 5.3 is completely foreign to me at the moment. I'm not used to the console nor am I familiar with where certain things are. I'm finding that the more I use the console the more I dislike it. Yea sure, I know all about progress but I think this particular change came in one fell swoop. I believe I have read that collocation by group is on by default? Where do we find that through the console? I'm sure that caching of a disk pool is staring me in the face but so far I've managed to have missed it.

AW: [ADSM-L] Files being skipped during backup/archive
There is a technote for Windows 2000 that explains which files TSM excludes from backup. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663context=SSGSG7q1=filesn ottobackupuid=swg21049023loc=en_UScs=utf-8lang=en Unfortunately I couldn't find such a technote for unix systems - but if memory serves me well there is such a beast. Anyone has a link? Greetings from snowy Austria Thomas Rupp
