Using TSM to backup a DB2 database
Hi all Running TSM Server 5.2.7.2 on Solaris 2.9. Going to be backing up a Windows 2003 DB2 client. I am just beginning to read the extensive Backing Up DB2 with IBM Tivoli Storage Management redbook and want to ask a very basic question at the start. Am I now right in thinking that I install both the BA Client for the standard backup (presumably excluding the DB2 datafiles), and the API for the DB2 backups? If this is the case, is this one licensed client or two? And do they both use separate configuration files (dsm.opt etc). This is new to me and on a Windows OS which I'm not familiar with (I mostly deal with Solaris).

Re: Archive Slowness - solved
To recap my issue - archives taking hours instead of minutes, randomly, while other archives on same machine at same time finishing appropriately... Same problem as on AIX 5.1 from several years ago. Gigabit ethernet smart card mis-behaves when chksum_offload and large_send both turned on. I turned off both attributes, bounced the network interfaces, and the problem is gone. On AIX 5.1 the symptom was not slowness, it was file corruption, with AIX 5.3 (almost 100% current - almost bleeding) the symptom was random slowness. Funny thing is that when the problem arose back on AIX 5.1, the solution was 1) upgrade AIX driver code level or 2) turn off the chksum_offload and large_send attributes. I chose option 2) at that time due to less downtime to the machine and application. Seems if there was a driver fix for AIX 5.1, surely they would have gotten it right by AIX 5.3... :-( -Tom Richard Sims [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/10/2006 9:49:31 am Tom - You'll likely have to do the standard analysis to isolate the problem. The best first approach is to watch the session from the server, via repeated Query SEssion, and see what's happening during it. (You can get some sense of where waits were occurring in past sessions by reviewing TSM accounting log data.) If the problem is constant on one or two files, perform a cp of the file to /dev/null and see if that takes far longer than it should, which would point to file system issues. Whereas you say that other archives from that client run at good speed, then it's probably not a network configuration issue. If still stumped, run a client trace. Richard Sims
Re: Using TSM to backup a DB2 database

testing an assumption here
TSM 5.3 server running on W2k server and a TSM 5.2.3 client running on a W2k box. On the client I'm getting about 20+ gig of bytes transferred during each backup. Only problem is that the server only has about 8-10 gig of data on the entire thing. The bytes transferred number comes from the dsmsched log file on the client side and mostly matches up with the numbers from the query node info. I looked really closely at the dsmsched log and noticed that I had a lot of 500-800 meg files that are not backing up on the first try because they are in use. Once it fails on the first try then I have it set to retry 5 times. I'll address the file in use issue separately. It eventually gives up and moves on to the next file and the same thing happens again. It looks like the system is transferring a big chuck of the file then it fails and then restarts the transfer again and again. Just like it's supposed to. ach time it's actually transferring some data that counts towards the bytes transferred total but the file never really gets transferred. The end result is that my bytes transferred numbers are being inflated by incomplete transfers. Is my reasoning for the inflated numbers correct?

Re: [SPAM: 4.000] [ADSM-L] Litigation!
Orin There are a number of different ways of achieving this and the best method will probably depend on your environment. It may be that a combination of methods may suit for you. You can generate a backupset of the active data using the command 'generate backupset'. For further info, do 'help generate backupset' or take a look at the server reference manual. The main benefit is that it is stored and managed as a single object. You may wish to use this method to get a 'snapshot' of the baclient data for the exchange server. It saves on objects in the DB. Backupsets don't work for TDP data, therefore I would create a new node. Give it a recognisable name, something like Exchsvr_Litigation_15Nov06 Change the TDP nodename in the dsm.opt file to this temp nodename and perform a manual backup of the exchange db. This does assume that you have a window big enough in the evening to run a manual before the scheduled or that you can run a manual full during the day. Providing that you do not backup to this node again, the backup will always be active and never expire. If you are really concerned about expiration, set the retention values that you associate to the new node to no limit. You may also want to take the precaution of marking the tape(s) that the data is written to as read-only and also setting the read-only switch physically on the tapes.

Re: Litigation!
Orin, You can't freeze just one particular backup. Short term, you can solve this by creating a new NODENAME for your future Data Protection for Exchange backups. This will keep all of your current active backups frozen. In the future, you should look into using Data Protection for Exchange COPY type backups, and bind the COPY backups to a different management class that solves your longer term archival needs.

Re: TDP for Exchange backup error
Orin, If you delete Exchange logs that Exchange needs for recovery, you will run into issues. You should shutdown all of your Exchange services and restart them. Then try the backup again.

Re: Litigation!
Orin, Del, I think you could accomplish this by exporting the backups for the node to a separate TSM server. The domain you export it into could have policy settings to effectively never expire anything, even the inactive copies that already exist. You can do this by having the default management class have no limit on versions and an infinite retention, and also make sure that the grace periods in the domain are set as high as possible. We are not currently doing this, but are thinking about implementing something along these lines. ..Paul At 11:43 AM 11/16/2006, Del Hoobler wrote: Orin, You can't freeze just one particular backup.

Re: Using TSM to backup a DB2 database
Hello, The online DB2 database backup towards TSM is free as both products are from IBM of course. The equivalent of eg the TDP for Oracle is included by default with the DB2 binairies, that is why only the BA API client is required for the backup. The same is true for Informix as of IDS 10.x best regards, Kurt Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager namens Farren Minns Verzonden: do 16/11/2006 15:05 Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Onderwerp: Re: [ADSM-L] Using TSM to backup a DB2 database Hi David From what I can gather the standard TSM Client handles DB2 by itself without the need for a TDP license.

I am just beginning to read the extensive Backing Up DB2 with IBM Tivoli Storage Management redbook and want to ask a very basic question at the start. Am I now right in thinking that I install both the BA Client for the standard backup (presumably excluding the DB2 datafiles), and the API for the DB2 backups? If this is the case, is this one licensed client or two? And do they both use separate configuration files (dsm.opt etc).

Usinmg NTUTIL
Hi All, I'm trying to automate some housekeeping for brain-dead operations staff. One of my key issues is that they rip tapes in and out of out libraries and neglect to inform TSM of this. Part of the solution will be to reconcile the contents of the library (3592/3/4) with TSM. Audit is fine, but it requires all library activity to stop before it runs and that will be problematic. I'm trying to run NTUTIL under Windows 2003 and get the library inventory. 1. I can get this to work fine in interactive mode, but have been unable to get it to work in batch mode, despite reading the manual forward, backward and sideways. Has anyone gotten the function to work and would be willing to share the trick? 2. The unix version of the utility allows the changer to be opened and the inventory read without opening a drive. The windows version appears not to do this and hence a free drive is needed to get the inventory. Can anyone confirm that this is the case or suggest a way around it? Thanks Steve Steven Harris AIX and TSM admin Brisbane Australia.

This can be verified with the lsof command. At a minimum, use the ps command to verify that the scheduler is running - and whether you are using that, and not dsmcad. You can also use the telnet command, as illustrated in ADSM QuickFacts, to verify the ability to connect. If you can't, then a firewall may be preventing it. (You are using a private, non-routed subnet there, which always tends to suggests restrictions.) Also see the QuickFacts - and, authoritatively, the TSM Problem Determination Guide - in pursuing scheduler problems. Make sure no Restartable Restore is pending, which will block other activities.
