I believe what TSM does is order the primary mounts by which volumes
have the most data to be moved in the current reclamation process.

You have to update volsers that have a status of empty to readwrite in
order from them to return to the storage pool.  Try running the following
command in your daily processing to send the empty carts to the scratch
pool.   Fill in the x's with the storage pool name of the carts.

UPDATE VOL * ACCESS=READWRITE WHERESTGPOOL='' WHERESTATUS='EMPTY'

ADSM on z/OS Mainframe Tape Handling






Hi list

We have an installed TSM Storage Manager Server on a z/OS Mainframe.

We have defined a Tape Pool with a maximum of 200 Tapes which can be
taken from a scratch pool. If TSM takes a Scratch tape it is
automatically put on RMM as the owner "ADSM".

The problem is that these tapes if they are empty they never are beeing
returned to the scratch pool.

What must be done on TSM Server that it empties the tapes? TSM has 124
tapes used in the defined TSM tape pool.

However in RMM there are 277 tapes defined as master for TSM.

1) What must be done that the tapes which are not anymore in the TSM
tape Pool but still are in RMM that they are returned to the scratch
pool?

2) In the integrated solutions console under "Servers" -> "Libraries for
All Servers" -> "Device Classes for ADSM" -> "TAPEPOOL Properties
(ADSM)" there are the options

- "File retention period"
  Is it from the creation date or from the date the tape was empty?

- "Tape expiration date (ddd)"
  What is the meaning of these 2 parameters?

Thanks for any help

Performance with move data and LTO3

2006-12-14 Thread Henrik Wahlstedt
Hi,

I wonder what transfer rates (move data from drive to drive) I am
supposed to see with LTO3.

I have two TSM servers, one 32-bit Win2k3 and one 64-bit 2.6.9-11.Elsmp,
with a SL500 and FC LTO3 drives. 
Similar HW (HP DL585) except for one server have HP- and the other have
IBM drives. Drives are on separate PCI busses.

I used a dataset of 50Gb with large files, same file type on both
systems. Only scratch tapes and no expiration on the datasets.
No other tape activity on the systems during the tests.

I tested disk->mt0->mt1->mt2->mt3->mt1->mt0->disk
>From disk to tape I get a throughput of 74-76Mb/s with IBM drives,
(migration).
>From tape to tape, (move data), with HP drives I get a throughput of
30-46Mb/s and with IBM drives I get 39-59Mb/s.
>From disk to tape, (move data), with IBM drives I get a throughput of
44Mb/s.

Apperently write speed seems OK but read spead is an issue?! Or is this
normal?



Thanks
Henrik

Can you describe your config in slightly greater detail?  You say

Thanks Richard!

When doing further investigation, the TSM server's client, which backs up
to our other TSM server, was backing up it's storage pool volumes which I
had just created.  I have since excluded those filesystems from it's
backup and the memory has freed up.

Sounds like a client that is co-resident in the TSM server system,
using the Shared Memory Communications method, as though the client
is at a very different level than the server, so the server doesn't
understand what the client is saying; else there may be problems in
the shared memory area.  I would start by looking for system changes
which may have been effected, which precipitated the problem
condition, as possibly the TSM client being boosted to a high 5.3

Ah, the previously undisclosed vital information!  :-)  I gather that

It sounds like you are encountering collisions due to configuration
values.  Make sure you are following the instructions in your Solaris
5.2 Quick Start manual, topic "Running Multiple Servers on a Single
Machine": rigorous procedures are necessary when doing this.  As
noted in ADSM QuickFacts topic "Servers, multiple, on one machine",
there is IBM Technote 1052631 which summarizes the needed details.

Re: dsmserv.lock and adsmserv.lock empty

Hi Richard,

It is a TSM server that have two instances.

Looking at the installation path we found the files dsmserv.lock and 
adsmserv.lock but the size is 0, and the content is empty when TSM is running.

The same is happening with the second instance.

But one curious thing is that if we try to launch another TSM from the path's 
that other TSM exists previously(and is up), it won't let you because the file 
adsmserv.lock and dsmserv.lock exist -> but the content is empty and filesize 
is 0. 

The FS got enough free space.

In other way, what do you think about killing TSM with kill -9  script or 
a "dsmadmc -se= -id=admin -pa=admin halt" script -> with this script 
someone could find the admin password... :-(((

Any comments will be appreciated !!

Thanks !!

Your posting doesn't say where you looked for the lock file.  In

dsmserv.lock.

Note that a zero-length file can be a consequence of a full file

Re: lanfree / storage agent idea or whateva :-)

2006-12-14 Thread Hooft, Jeroen
On the TSM-server you define the paths of system A, the storage-agent
system.
System B will then make will send the backup-data via the LAN to the
storage-agent on system A. (as specified with "LANFREETCPServeraddress")
>From system A the data will be sent over the SAN to a tapedrive.

This mechanism with a remote storage-agent is nice when you have a fast
internal/virtual network, like in the IBM's P570's. You only need 1
system with an HBA to tape while the other lpars in the system use the
internal network to sent the data to the system with the HBA. 
I played with it and got a reasonable performance on a P570, when using
a virtual internal network with an high MTU size.

Subject: [ADSM-L] lanfree / storage agent idea or whateva :-)

hi all, i've been thinking ...
is one storage agent enough to serve all lanfree clients we wish to back
up ?

for example:
on server A which is STA i have running dsmsta with following
configuration

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin # more dev* set staname
STA_2 set stapassword password set stahladdress sta_2.domain.hr set
stalladdress 1511 define server MAIN_TSM serverpassword=password
hladdress=main_tsm.domain..hr lladdress=1500

&

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin # more dsmsta.opt
SERVERNAME MAIN_TSM DEVCONFIG devconfig.out COMMmethod TCPIP TCPPort
1511

this server A sees the LTO drives as local drives /dev/rmt*, hard linked
as per manual


on client (server B) in dsm.sys i have

...
ENABLELANFREE   yes
COMMmethod TCPip
LANFREETCPPort 1511
LANFREECOMMMETHOD TCPip
LANFREETCPServeraddress sta_2.domain.hr
TCPPort1500
TCPServeraddress   main_tsm.domain.hr
...

now my question is : when i define /dev/rmt drives i must do it on STA
server (A) which sees the drives phisicaly and hardlinked to /dev
directory exactly as seen by the MAIN_TSM server

OR

can i place dummy /dev/rmt* on client server since it's using
information from STA server which sees the drives (rmt's) for real ?

how do you manage it ?  i got a feeling after some implementation that
STA must be installed and configured on every server which has BA client
ready to backup/archove on it ... (this is maybe even true)

it would be nice that 1 STA i enough and lanfree BA clients can use him
...
