Re: Tapes read only
Usually what I do is to change the access to readwrite and let TSM use them again.

Re: TSM monitoring
I have used custom Perl scripts, ServerGraph and TSM Operational Reporting. Custom Perl Scripts Are obviously very flexible and given the Perl knowledge and time (neither of which I have great deal of), you can get them to do almost anything. I did also use some of the Perl scripting developed by Richard Sims for the accounting report. You can find it at http://people.bu.edu/rbs/adsm-report ServerGraph I found this to be a very good management tool. You do need a little bit of expertise to get it all set up, although I haven't used the Windows version. I found the development team very willing to accommodate new ideas and incorporate them into future releases. I would say that the product is higher end and is reflected in the price. TSM Operational Reporting In my view, a much underrated tool. It's free, that is, it comes with TSM. Only runs on windows, so you may need a separate server if your TSM server(s) are Unix. Functionality is limited to really only SQL queries, but with a little practice and some ingenuity, you can squeeze a little extra out of it. It comes with a number of standard reports and they can give you a feel for how the product works. From there on, you can start to tailor your own reports/monitors. I've never used TSM Manager, but it seems from the posts that it's popular. Leigh -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gill, Geoffrey L.

If media is suspect, move the data off the volume, do a no-eject Checkout, then use tapeutil or like utility to perform a full media test.

Re: Tape Drive Choices: What, and why?
Allen, I too thought that LTOs might not be up to scratch for 24x7 operation, but I recently went looking. I could only find information for generation 1 of LTO, but both LTO1 and SDLT are rated at 250,000 hours MTBF on a 100% duty cycle. Now that figure may be playing with engineering numbers, and I'm not sure that I really know what it means - I'm certain that in real life drives fail more frequently than that, so manufacturers must obviously fiddle with the definition of a failure to get their numbers. Anyway, the gist is that LTO drives are ready for 24x7 operation.

Geoff, Another place to look is at your disk subsystem - from the host controller all the way to physical disks. I've seen disk units having problems, but no errors being recorded on the host (TSM) server. If you start having to retry every disk operation a few times, performance degrades significantly.

open source clone of tsm?
I need something with some of TSM's abilities. I have enough disk space on the 'backup' server that I can rsync all other servers to the backup server, however the amount of data to backup is greater than the tape size. I could use multi-volume tars, though I prefer to be more 'hands-off' than that. I'd like some program to look at the given files/filesystems for backup, decide what needs backing up as a full and as an incremental, send those files to tape making one tape a day. The program needs to keep track of how infrequently files are backed up that are not changed, essentially forcing a full of files over time to keep them current on tapes, etc. The program also needs to know how to ask for tapes in their proper order for restoring files/filesystems. I have come to like TSM, but I do not have the budget for a 3494 or other tape changer, or for the software for that matter. Does this exist somewhere or someone have a better idea? Mike

Does this exist somewhere or someone have a better idea? 10 years ago I started working on something which I have come to understand as grasping for TSM's features. This is what I was designing then, and for the dramatically lower performance domain you discuss it remains sane. + Use TAR's 'newer' option to get incremental-like behavaior. Always record timestamps of when a run began, use them to calculate timestamps of later runs. This is better than dump. + Always do verbose output, record all those outputs. This is your TSM DB. + Record metadata about the run to decrease the number of the output listings you have to uncompress and grep to locate the instances of a file. + Since you're tarring to disk initially, you can get something like copy pools by dding your bzipped tar onto more than one tape. + Record metadata about which runs get copied to which tapes. Then your DR operations involve a more conventional tarring up of the metadata collection onto media. You don't get progressive backups: you're still at some sort of full/incremental/differential scheme. Explicitly using -newer dates gives you a lot of flexibility, but you don't know what you really have unless you do another full. Same lack-of-progressive-backups problem on restore: Must restore many different backups to bring image up to date. You get no retry flexibility. You get no validation of data on tape (reclamation). Your database queries will be long and I/O and CPU intensive; but better than getting the TOCs of all the tars... Personally, I wouldn't trust it farther than I could throw it. And I wrote it. - Allen S. Rout - Really, you can't afford -NOT- to do TSM.

Re: Tape Drive Choices: What, and why?
I'll echo Paul's comments with one additional: SDLT is not helical scan, AIT and SAIT are. SDLT uses serial serpentine as well, but their basic technology is different. LTO3 wins the day from a market share standpoint, though the newest SDLT have higher capacity at a lower cost (when you're getting killed in the market, this is what you do...). I would not even consider AIT or SAIT for TSM. TSM does too much work on tapes (compared to other products) for helical scan sanding! Kelly J.

Re: crawling system
Don't overlook network causes...where other people in your shop may be pondering the same problem. Richard Sims I wanted to respond on this and hopefully someone can tell me why this has happened. What I found, and I did see this about a month ago also, was the default gateway had changed on the NIC. There is a built in port with an assigned 10.xxx.xxx.xxx address with a gateway of 10.xxx.xxx.xxx, (Not connected to the network). The GIG port has a completely different IP and what I found was the gateway from the other NIC seemed to have taken over. The first time this happened I forced it back but for whatever reason it changed back again. I've reconfigured again and both NIC's show the proper default gateway. Not sure why this would be happening and maybe someone can shed some light so it won't happen again.
