Journal backup hangs on Windows 2003
Hello, I've searched the list archives and the APARs and found several postings about problems with the journal based backups but none that I could find resembled my problem. So I humbly turn to this list for advise. One of our customers runs a 5.3.3.0 client on Windows 2003 Our server is 5.3.3.1 on AIX 5.2.0.0 We advised the customer to do journal based backups to decrease the time the backup takes. Unfortunately the client hangs when it tries to do a backup. dsmcad contacts the server and retrieves the time the backup is scheduled. It even starts dsmc at the appropriate time but dsmc just sits there and after 75 minutes the server severs the connection because it doesn't receive any traffic from the client. On the client however the scheduler keeps running until it is terminated by the customer. When the customer tries to stop the TSM Journal Service it hangs (does not stop) There is a strange error in the dsmerror.log that pops up several times per day: 07/18/2006 09:39:50 ANS5250E An unexpected error was encountered. TSM function name : VssRequestor::QueryStatus TSM function : pAsync-QueryStatus() for caller 'VssQuerySystemWriters()' returned VSS_E_WRITER_INFRASTRUCTURE TSM return code : -1 TSM file : vssreq.cpp (8270) My knowledge of Windows is virtually non existent so I have no idea what this is about. The dsmsched.log is silent. Any ideas anyone? Regards, Alexander Alexander Verkooijen Senior Systems Programmer High Performance Computing SARA Computing Networking Services

Change client to a different policy domain
More things to consider: If the all the files in the old domain were bound to the DEFAULT management class, when you change the client to the new domain and run a backup, the files will rebind to the DEFAULT management class in the new domain and take on the rules in the default backup (or archive) copy group. If some of the files in the old domain were bound to a non-DEFAULT management class, what happens depends on whether that management class exists in the new domain. If the non-DEFAULT management class exists in the new domain, then naturally the files rebind to it. If the non-DEFAULT management class does NOT exist in the new domain, then the files take on the GRACE PERIOD rules defined for the domain.

There are candidates for Backup Sets enhancements. Does anyone know or read of such improvements? By Candidates I assume they mean that the enhancements may or may not happen? I have not read about any developments in that area yet, Some of the enhancements look like they can really help reduce media requirements and generate faster Backup Sets.

Re: Data Protection for SQL - Windows x64 Package is now available
Kenny, We are using the 5.3.3.0 x64 package for SQL2005 on x64 Windows2003. The only kink we have run into is that if you install a SQL2000 instance on the machine, it breaks VSS, which TDP needs. There is a special patch from MS you need to run against any of these 2k instances (and you need to run it again anytime you install a new 2k instance). Other than that, we have had no problems, but we don't use differentials, so I cant speak to that.

Re: Network tuning question -- AIX to AIX
Etherchannel can be a Good Thing (tm) but it doesn't do what I was trying to do. I hadd four adapters on my TSM server bundled as an etherchannel. I also bundled two adapters each on my R3 Database Servers as an etherchannel. Here's the way this worked in a Cisco switch environment: DB server opens session 1 to TSM; AIX decides to usee port 1 of the etherchannel. The switch sees the incoming data and decides that Dbserver1 will use port 1 of the destination etherchannel. So far, so good. Now, DB server opens second session to TSM; AIX uses port 2 of the etherchannel (the other adapter). Still good-to-go. And then the switch steps in -- and says since you are Dbserver1 accessing TSM, you get port 1 (again). So now I have two gigabit cards on my DB server feeding one gigabit card on my TSM server. Not what I'd planned. Note that this is NOT an issue if (A) you're feeding multiple 100 Mb feeds to gigabit adapters, or (B) feeding multiple source systems with one interface each to the TSM server. It only crops up when trying to feed one etherchannel to another.

Re: Windows number of instances limitation.
Are you sure a propely congirued TSM serve with 4 instances and 6 GB of RAM will actually have room for a 5th. IMHO you shouldn't run more that two. There are a few TSM tech docs that explain the way memory is used based on the those if you properly configure your buffpool you will end up causing memory constraints on your server which will cause problems just going to a 3rd TSM instance. Of course you could go to more 3 or more and limit their bufpools but then you may run into TSM performance issues. Add to that the number of handles on the system that get used. From this doc http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663context=SSGSG7q1=TSM+Server+handlesuid=swg21112140loc=en_UScs=utf-8lang=en the following may be of interest to you: For each buffer pool page, the server uses four conditions. This means a BUFFPOOLSIZE of 32768 uses 4+ conditions and 8+ handles initially. The handle count can grow to 12+ over time as the conditions are first used (CRITICAL_SECTION entered). Still here is a doc that tells you how to install TSM on Windows without using the wizard.

I'm designing a TSM solution for a client. Servers are a couple of beefy Intel boxes - 4 way Xeons with 6GB of memory. This user is government so there is a long retention period required and the databases are big and going to get bigger. I was looking at a two way Windows cluster (2k3 datacenter edition, if it matters) solution with 5 instances, a combined config manager/central database backup/library manager/event manager and four worker instances, basically the same as each other but with the nodes shared around to balance the load. Of course each of the cluster machines would have to support the whole shebang at some point, for maintenance and in case of extended outages (eventually it will be a geographically separated cluster for serious DR capability). Now it turns out that you can't create a fifth TSM instance on a windows server in the usual manner - the option to do so in the management console is grayed out when there are four instances. I'm told that this is a documented limitation, but I can't see where it is documented, despite some serious searching. If any of you know where this is written can you please advise? Does anyone know where this limit is coded, or how it might be circumvented? The TSM registry structure is fairly simple so manually creating the appropriate files and registry enties might work if I can't somehow trick the wizard into action. Please let me know if you have tried this and what the outcome was. IMO this artificial restriction is a danged good reason to use Linux rather than windows.

download IBM System Storage Archive Manager v. 5.3 and TSM-OR v. 5.3
Hello all, we are planning to install quite soon the IBM System Storage Archive Manager version 5.3 under AIX. Also TSM-OR version 5.3 will be installed on a Windows cluster. I have checked the IBM Storage Management download sites (maintenance and patches) for both products but without success. Does somebody know from where I can download both products? Thank you and best regards, Rainer
TDP for SQL - restoring to different server
We have just started using TDP for SQL (version 5.2.1) I need to restore an SQL database backup from 7 days ago to another Windows server. I have a few questions regarding this. If I install TSM and TDP for SQL on another Windows server, does the server I restore it too have to have SQL installed on it? All I want to do initially is get the db file onto a server so that we can then move it to wherever we want. How do I specify the 7 day old database backup in the tdpsqlc command? I have run a tdpsqlc query on the original SQL server and I know what the database object name is of the database backup from 7 days ago. Regards Paul Paul Dudley ANL IT Operations Dept.
