Re: RoadMap?
I think that TSM 5.4 was due for release this month, however I don't know if it is on schedule. I think the reindeer struggled this year and Santa was late getting to the developers. (Sorry, couldn't resist a belated festive funny) A list of the new features/enhancements that were scheduled to be included follows below. Again, some might not have made the cut. I would imagine that some of the IBM'ers will give you a more detailed corporate line a little later in the day. Possible features; The ability to collocate active data on sequential media (typically sequential access disk for fast restores and reduced size disk pools). Integration of NDMP (Netapps/n-series) backups with TSM storage pools (allows filer-to-TSM-server backups). Support for NDMP v4. Backupset enhancements and improved flexibility (ability to produce point-intime backupsets using data in storage pools at any time). New Incremental backup method using a local disk cache to minimise memory utilisation (can now process an unbounded number of files). Vista Support (and Volume Shadow Copy Service integration). Support for Intel based Mac OS X (and standardised to use normal option file names). Support for hardware tape drive encryption. Various Admin Center updates. Note: Windows 2000 is not supported on ITSM 5.4.

Re: Off-topic post related to DST changes.
Windows and I think many other OS's base their time off of GMT with an off-set, so as long as the systems in affected areas have the correct off-set other systems will not be affected. An example would be I save a file at 08:00 GMT, my system then adds -06:00 for my time zone. Then someone east of me reads the file date, their system will see a time of 08:00 GMT and their local computer will add -05:00 for the local time zone offset.

Re: TSM DB2 API Backup Question
Charles, DB2 backup to TSM is owned by the DB2 product team. I did pass this question on to them, this was the response: There is a potential for a hang if the online backup had to retrieve a log file from the TSM tape pool, but backup is using all of the tape drives. IBM DB2 is currently trying to decide how to handle this case, but do not have a good solution yet. This does not occur very often but is a pain when it does. Some recommendations to avoid this problem include: 1) Archive log files to a TSM Disk Pool (this is a best practice that all customers should be following) 2) Increase the LOGPRIMARY parameter on the DB so that all of the log files required by the backup remain on disk. Thanks, Del ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU wrote on 01/02/2007 10:56:00 AM: One of our TSM environments that is Backing up Unix and DB2 data is a bit overrun at this point (lots of MediaW'). I was talking to our DB2 DBA and he states that the final step to a On-line DB2 backup is to include the transaction logs that occurred since the backup began. The DB2 log files are archived to tape from the TSM DB2 API, so the full backup now requires a tape mount to validate those logs files are complete. unfortunately these DB2 Full backups sit and wait for tape Our question is there anyway to cfg these DB2 On-line Full Backups to just Query TSM to validate the log files recvd? Or does it always have to mount a tape. I was looking in the TSM DB2 manual but really haven't found such an option. Thanks Again for any help!! Charles Hart
Re: RoadMap? (Offtopic: Executive Briefings)
Sorry, no. It was more of an off-the-cuff discussion with representatives from the development team. We were technicians there to learn, not the usual company executives or using it as a complaint session. So we asked to dig in with tivoli technicians on our needs. It was great.

Re: List of archives
Hi, Something like this should provide a list of all archives: select node_name,description from archives group by node_name,description But like you said it will probably take a very long time to complete. Or bring down your server. (I've seen that happen with heavy sql queries in TSM). It seems that the client has a far more efficient way of querying the server than the sql interface has. You might consider to leave out the 'group by' clause and redirect the output to a text file. Then import this file into a database like Oracle or DB2 and do your query there. The text file can get pretty big though (depending on how many files have been archived).

Re: List of archives
Hi, Thanks for the replies. Just tested and it takes approx 20 minutes for the SQL to complete (approx 5.2 million files). Workable, but I do not understand why the client just lists the archives directly. Maybe the archive info is also stored on the client side which makes is fast.

Re: List of archives
No, the client does not store archive info locally. The table data shown by SELECT statements do not come directly from the internal structures. The table data are virtual, constructed on the fly when you run SELECT. Due to the nature of how SELECT works, we will not claim that it is a high-speed query engine (also see http://msgs.adsm.org/cgi-bin/get/adsm0411/387/1.html). However, under the covers, the client/server interactions are optimized to display the description info fairly quickly.

Is there a way to create a list of all files that are using a particular management class? 5.3.3 windows server
[no subject]
It's in the BACKUPS table. You can do a SELECT on the backups table, but it's the slowest query you can do. The BACKUPS table is indexed by nodename, so you will generally do better running the query 1 nodename at a time. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Whitlock, Brett Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 2:34 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Is there a way to create a list of all files that are using a particular management class? 5.3.3 windows server
windows - backup different set of directories on different days
I have a process on a windows system that creates about 400gig of data each day. It dumps this data each day to a different directory. Monday's to monday, Tuesday's to tuesday etc. I only want tsm to backup the data in that day's directory and not any of the other days. I'm currently using the TSM scheduler and TSM acceptor on the client to trigger the nightly backups. Anyone have any ideas / suggestions how I might go about that ? Is there a way to do it in the include/exclude file ? Thank you. Richard
Re: windows - backup different set of directories on different days
Well, if you are doing an incremental backup, it will ignore the previous day's directory without you having to do anything special. It will want to scan that directory to see if there is anything to move, but it won't move anything. If you don't want that scan behavior, consider installing the journal engine. Thanks, Kelly J.

Re: windows - backup different set of directories on different days
One way to do this would be to have management classes that have a backup frequency of 7 seven days. You could: 1. Create Management Class Monday, and associate all files in the Monday directory to it. Run the backup on Monday. 2. On Tuesday, create a Management Class Tuesday, and associate all files in the Tuesday directory to it. Run the backup on Tuesday. 3. etc.. After you have done this for the first week, all the files would then be looked at every 7 days. (It still is going to examine the directories, but not back up any of the data in them.) Another way to do this would be just to do scheduled incremental backups on the particular directories and not look at the other ones for that particular day.

Re: windows - backup different set of directories on different days
Don't use include/exclude. Create a new schedule that runs every Monday. Put the Monday directory in the schedule's OBJECTS parameter, and -SUBDIR=YES in the OPTIONS parameter (assuming you want to process any subdirectories of the Monday directory). Repeat for each day of the week you want to back up. If the idea is that you want the schedule backup to back up *more* than just the Monday or Tuesday, etc., directory (i.e., back up all local drives, except for the Monday directory if today is not Monday) then that gets trickier. In that case, use two nodes: - One node to back up everything *but* the Monday, Tuesday, etc., directories. In this case, use EXCLUDE statements to exclude the daily directories. This would be on a separate schedule that runs daily. - Another node that backs up *only* the Monday, Tuesday, etc., directories, using the scheduling scheme described above. Make sure to use a *separate* include/exclude list (or just a separate options file).

Kelly, good point about incremental my post assumes the scan behavior is what is undesirable, or *only* the day directories should be processed.
