Re: Slow Informix backups every 8 days?
I do not claim to have any knowledge of Informix but the behaviour you describe suggests that you use a backup schema of a full backup every 8 days and incrementals/differentials on the other 7 days.

Retention Problem
I am obviously having a brain cramp, because I can't figure this out. I have files on a NetWare client (6.5, SP4) that seem to be retained past the parameters of thier management classes.

3494 fire suppression
We have a 3494 tape library shared between our TSM server and our z/OS system. It contains a mixture of 3490, 3590, and 3592 tape volumes. Our insurance company is pushing us to install a fire suppression system inside the 3494. The planning manual for the 3494 has detailed information on the space available for fire suppression hardware, but no information on the pros and cons of different extinguishing agents. We have a halon system protecting other parts of the machine room complex. It is not immediately clear whether it would be legal to add piping to extend the system's coverage to new areas. If extending the halon system is legal, is this the best choice? If it is not legal, what is the best alternative?

Re: Slow Informix backups every 8 days?
I wish it were that simple. :) We actually do a full every night for this set of databases. Some questions the vendor asked... You have 4 threads starting at the same time, one for each dbs which is fine. Could there be there another Tivoli process on the 8th day that may be using 5 threads? Tivoli can only handle 8 threads at a time, causing the last worx thread to wait until the other processes complete. What we see on the 12th is a delay of 2 seconds where Tivoli does nothing, it is waiting on something. The 4 processes are forked at the same time each day - Tivoli should begin the 4 backups immediately in sequence, but it does not. Tivoli completes the 1st backup, then waits 2 seconds and begins the other 3 backups.

Re: Schedule start delayed
It would certainly help to see some more specifics. For example, the dsmsched.log file for one of the clients in question that did not kick off when expected, just to verify that, for sure, it is using prompted scheduling; and the activity log from the scheduled start time and on, to see what the server was doing, as well as other things like the client dsm.opt file for the aforementioned client, and the client option set definition for that client. Server-side randomization has no effect on prompted scheduling.

Re: Library status Unknown
Gil, I think what the issue is, I have seen this b4 anyway, is that though the OS can see the device, if it wasn't configured through the TSM server, using the TSM version of the drivers, it is not going to play well with the other kids. It could be that the other 2 were not installed through the TSM interface using those drivers. Thats just my guess.

Re: Slow Informix backups every 8 days?
Chip - This is a case where the server records need to be examined. Look in the TSM server Activity Log for what's happening during that period, and review the TSM accounting records for the recorded wait time values. If need be, perform Query SEssion during the backups to see what clients may be waiting on (drives, volumes, etc.). Just looking at the client side of things gives you only half the story.

Re: DSM.opt file issues
Some suggestions: - Check the client node definition on the TSM server to see if it is associated with a client option set that has a DOMAIN statement in it that might be adding the network shares. - Check the schedule definition to see whether the OBJECTS or OPTIONS settings specify any additional file systems. Make sure you check the system you think you are backing up to (I notice your dsm.opt file contains two TCPSERVERADDRESS settings, albeit with one commented out). - Make sure the client is using the options file you *think* it is using. Use the dsmcutil command to display the scheduler service configuration, and see if it points to a different options file. Check whether environment variable DSM_CONFIG exists, and if it points to a different options file. - Run the command line interface as follows: dsmc q opt domain and see what the output shows. - Check the dsmsched.log file and check the options shown at the beginning of the scheduled event. Also check for lines that read: Incremental backup of volume 'blah' Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

Re: TSM for VMWare ESX Question - Where can I find the storage agent for TSM?
You might be able to run the linux tsm client directly on the esx server, to get guest os backups. However even if that did work, it would be whole image backups (not file level), and you'd need to bring down the virtual machine before running it's backup. I think the more typical solution is to just run the tsm backup client within the os of each virtual machine.

You might be able to run the linux tsm client directly on the esx server, to get guest os backups. However even if that did work, it would be whole image backups (not file level), and you'd need to bring down the virtual machine before running it's backup. I think the more typical solution is to just run the tsm backup client within the os of each virtual machine.

Re: DSM.opt file issues
Since this is a Windows Client, I would go into the the GUI BAClient and then go to EditPreferences Then under the Backup tab, uncheck the box Backup All Local File Systems. Then select only the file systems that you want to backup. That should do the trick. We did just the opposite of you because we only wanted to backup only the mapped drives. Let me know if you still have problems. Thanks! Aaron [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/18 7:39 am Some suggestions: - Check the client node definition on the TSM server to see if it is associated with a client option set that has a DOMAIN statement in it that might be adding the network shares. - Check the schedule definition to see whether the OBJECTS or OPTIONS settings specify any additional file systems. Make sure you check the system you think you are backing up to (I notice your dsm.opt file contains two TCPSERVERADDRESS settings, albeit with one commented out). - Make sure the client is using the options file you *think* it is using. Use the dsmcutil command to display the scheduler service configuration, and see if it points to a different options file. Check whether environment variable DSM_CONFIG exists, and if it points to a different options file. - Run the command line interface as follows: dsmc q opt domain and see what the output shows. - Check the dsmsched.log file and check the options shown at the beginning of the scheduled event. Also check for lines that read: Incremental backup of volume 'blah' Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

3584 library
I'm wondering with a 3584 if there is specific issues I should be aware of that someone can point out. Are there certain administrative functions you perform on an ongoing basis? I'd feel a little more comfortable if I had something like that going into this switchover. I just don't want to miss something specific to these guys that is different than a 3494.

Re: TSM for VMWare ESX Question - Where can I find the storage agent for TSM?
Hi Nancy, Jurjen is right: just look at the kernel version to identify the linux version involved. The standard TSM-Client plays nicely with the ESX host. To back up the ESX-guests, you can choose according to your needs: running ESX-guests on NAS, you can snap the guests (very fast and very neat backup and recovery!) using the linux host client to backup the .vmdk files (fast image-like backup and recovery) Installing a TSM-Client on the guest (reacts just like any TSM-Client with file-level restore) or combine any of them For the Image-like Backups just make sure the ESX guest is in a consistent state, e.g. shut down the Guest or use a third-party tool (I guess Symantec offers one).
