TDP for exchange error
Hi to all I have an exchange server Windows2003 (not in cluster) with TDP version 5.2.1 I backup it at Sunday Tuesday Thursday full (at 23:00) and between 3 times a day incremental (at 9 , 15 , 20). The 3 incrementals after the full are running correctly but the second day I got the following error: Sunday Monday Tuesday Full (23:00) OK I (09:00) OK I (09:00) Error I (15:00)OK I (15:00) Error I (20:00) OK I (20:00)Error From the actlog: ANE4993E (Session: 145219, Node: EXCHSRV01_DB) TDP MSExchg ACN3502 Data Protection for Exchange: incr backup of First Storage Group from server EXCHSRV01 failed, rc = 425.

Try to determine what was going on in your server at the time (processes, sessions) from the Activity Log, for clues as to circumstantial cause, which may allow you to avoid it. As always, examine your AIX Error Log for any related disk or hardware problems. You might have a db integrity problem, as noted in similar- circumstances APAR IC41363. Richard Sims
Re: HELP: TSM has recycled itself...
Hi Ian, The process that you referenced was a NAS NDMP differential backup. I also had regular client backups occurring throughout all platforms of servers such as windows, solaris, aix, etc. I haven't changed anything in the current environment for approximately a year, so nothing major has changed. I also see that expiration was running and I can see some of the internal server error detected messages, but I'm not sure how to pinpoint what was causing it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Full Incremental Rotations
Hi There, I want to ensure I am implementing the best possible strategy for TSM backups. Has anyone implemented this successfully as described in the Full-Incremental Rotations Using IBM Tivoli Storage Manager field guide from IBM. I am using a copy storage pool , and perform a full backup weekly, and incrementals during the week. In addition I do an archive on the last Sunday of each month. All AIX. Would this constitute best practice. Another side issue - Has anyone encountered recursive backing up of linked directories in AIX. I have a directory called websm that seems to go into an endless loop. Any ideas how to rid of this error with out excluding the said directory.

Abrian, concernin WEBSM: Problem DB growing rapidly when backup or archiving /usr.

Re: TDP for exchange error
Hi Robert, I recommend that you check the event logs and other system logs closely. I think that there must be something else running (like another backup type, or a defrag, or something else) that is causing this situation to occur. I know that you said that the exchange admin told you that the defrag wasn't running within that timespan, but this error is the Exchange Server telling you that expected log files are missing... and that you need to run a full backup.

5.3.3 Upgrade problem
Hi all, I upgraded one of my servers to 5.3.3.1 from 5.2.4.0 Friday. When we tried running the daily drm script I setup Monday morning we had problems with the library ejecting tapes. To make a long story short, before the upgrade tsm would prompt us to reply to a request number when we were ready to eject the next tape, now tsm doesn't ask for a reply and a bulk move of tapes fails. Anyone see this before? Here is what it use to do: ANR8322I 098: Remove 8MM volume 101372 from entry/exit port of library AITLIB; issue 'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready.

Re: 5.3.3 Upgrade problem
TSM 53 has introduced a new option on the checkin command: WAITTime Specifies the number of minutes that the server will wait for you to reply or respond to a request. Specify a value in the range 0-. If you want to be prompted by the server, specify a wait time greater than zero. The default value is 60 minutes. For example, suppose the server prompts you to insert a tape into the entry/exit port of a library. If you specified a wait time of 60 minutes, the server will issue a request and wait 60 minutes for you to reply. Suppose, on the other hand, you specify a wait time of 0. If you have already inserted a tape, a wait time of zero will cause the operation to continue without prompting. If you have not inserted a tape, a wait time of zero will cause the operation to fail. _ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist Hitachi Data Systems Certified Professional IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Remeta, Mark Sent: 29 August 2006 15:01 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] 5.3.3 Upgrade problem Hi all, I upgraded one of my servers to 5.3.3.1 from 5.2.4.0 Friday.

Re: HELP: TSM has recycled itself...
Hi Richard, I did have an issue approximately 6 months ago with data integrity, but IBM said that all was well. Maybe they were incorrect and the database does have corruption. In order to do a dump/loadformat/load/audit on my database I would think this would take a tremendous amount of down time. The database is currently 155 GB. I guess what I'm wondering is when I migrate to TSM 5.3.3, will this dump/loadformat/load/audit process be run? And if so, I'm wondering if it would be ok to wait until I upgrade in order to audit the TSM database? I'm just trying to have the least amount of down time in the environment, but I also want to protect and backup the data efficiently. Any thoughts on this matter is appreciated! Thanks!

Joni - As per one of my prior postings, ANRD messages reflect aberrant conditions which IBM has added this kind of debugging to detect, capturing some debugging values. As the Messages manual says, This information is intended for reporting processing exceptions and other non-standard situations that occur on the ADSM server. You should preserve the contents of your dsmserv.err file and contact TSM Support, providing them with all the info, and advising of your past problems. In some cases, and depending upon who handles the call, you may get a very targeted, short-duration correction, rather than a whole-db audit. No, it is not the normal process to perform gymnastics on the TSM database in an upgrade, so you need to get the problem addressed well ahead of time, particularly as you want to assure continued operation now.

LTO-2 and LTO-3 switch grouping
Hi All, We have the good fortune to be adding four LTO-3 drives to our STK L700 library. It currently has 14 LTO-2 drives, attached to two Brocade 3800 (2Gpbs, 16-port) switches. All drives are IBM FC. I'm trying to figure out the best approach to zone these drives. We currently use port zoning on these switches, but as part of this upgrade, we will enable the WWN feature on the L700, and migrate the switches to WWN zoning. Here are my thoughts... Current config: (4) HBAs on the TSM server for tapes On switch1, hba1 has (3) LTO-2 drives hba2 has (4) LTO-2 On switch2, hba3 has (3) LTO-2 plus (3) DLT8K (the DLT's are going away with this upgrade) hba4 has (4) LTO-2 The DLT's are never used, so they have no real impact. I know the hba's with (4) LTO-2 are over-committed, and although I have no direct evidence of a problem, my gut feeling is that it is a bottleneck at times. I have a few FC cards that I can add. There are two open PCI slots on the TSM server... with some more reconfiguration, I can free up two more. This is an HP rp7410 server, and all PCI slots are 66Mhz x 64 bit capable, with throughput of 530MBps so, I can put FC adapters anywhere with no throughput concerns. What I'm considering: - IF I can add four more HBAs (best case - no over-commitment), On each switch, hba1 with (1) LTO-3 and (1) LTO-2 hba2 with (1) LTO-3 and (1) LTO-2 hba3 with (3) LTO-2 hba4 with (2) LTO-2 -If I can only add two HBAs (less reconfiguration), On each switch, hba1 with (1) LTO-3 and (1) LTO-2 hba2 with (1) LTO-3 and (2) LTO-2 (44 MBps over-commitment) hba3 with (4) LTO-2 (24 MBps over-commitment) My over-commitment calculations are based on 2048 Mbps / 8 bits per byte = 256 MBps throughput per switch port. I'm wondering if there are any issues with zoning LTO-2 and LTO-3 to the same HBA... will either one monopolize the port, or will play nice together? Any comments are greatly appreciated! Regards, Robin Sharpe Berlex Labs 973-487-5686
Re: LTO-2 and LTO-3 switch grouping
Ensure the PCI slots do not share internal BUS bandwidth. You may end up with issues there- I moved to dual port PCIe cards for the internal bandwidth to run many LTO3 drives. Is the server really only PCI, or are they PCI-X slots? There is no issues running LTO2 and LTO3 on the same HBA. I have looked into the fabric throughput to actually see the speeds- they can be very high- near the theoretical maximums if you are using format=drives or UTRIUM3/2C. Any type of oversubscription/commitment can cause severe impact on streaming performance. _ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist Hitachi Data Systems Certified Professional IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Sharpe Sent: 29 August 2006 16:51 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] LTO-2 and LTO-3 switch grouping Hi All, We have the good fortune to be adding four LTO-3 drives to our STK L700 library.

Offsite pools with fewer versions
Hello, We are running TSM 5.2.3 on z/OS using SAN disk and IBM 3590 carts for storage. We are backing up Windows 2000 and 2003 servers. I have been requested to increase the number of versions of backup files in the storage pools. This will increase the size of my storage pools and of our offsite pools (data) which is a problem. Is there a way to have a storage pool with 20 versions of files and create an offsite pool with only the 3 most current versions of all files? The only way I have thought of so far is that I will need two node IDs per server and have a different policy going to different storage pools. Is this the only way? Thank you Patrick Plagman
Include statement
I'm trying to include all files in a specific directory that begin with the work collaboration to a specific management class. The full name of the file may or may not have more than just this word in it and the extension may be different for some.

TSM Server 5.3.3.0 AIX 5.3 ML4 Hello list, I have a disk pool volume that I cannot seem to delete. I have used move data to empty the volume, but when I try a delete volume, it says the volume contains data. However, audit volume fix=yes says there is no data in the volume. Any help is appreciated.
