Hi All, 

I have tsm client 5.2.0 and Tsm server 5.2.2. I am getting following
errors in the dsmerror.log file. 

4/25/2007 23:10:49 gtUpdateGroupAttr() server error 4 on update SYSTEM

04/25/2007 23:10:55 ANS1304W Active object not found

On the tsm server, I tried changing the filespace name and did the
manaul ASR and System State backup that completed successfully. But when
I tried again, it failed.

Are there any fix available with out any upgrades. 

Appreciate your feedbacks.

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server BA client setup

[Chris McKay]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the Windows BA client on a Microsoft Internet Security
and Acceleration Server 2006 and I am unable to complete. The install goes
normally, but when I try to finish the install and create the dsm.opt file
it gives me a TCP\IP error, and I have to cancel. The administrator of
this particular server has informed me everything is allowed within the
software for the TSM server (Windows) and all ports are opened, but still
it looks like something is blocking me. Has anyone else experienced
similar issues, and know of a fix?

Any info would be appreciated.

Re: TSM only reads from COPY1 during DB backup

[Paul van Dongen]

   If it was't a dream, I remember reading something about this issue. It 
stated that this behaviour was "by design", because reading blocks from both 
copies of a mirrored volume cancelled all gains obtained with controllers and 
disk subsistems read-ahead algorhythms.
   I even remember reading it was actually tested.

Performance is the issue.  As tapes get faster and faster, trying to get a db

Then your issue is performance, rather than database voracity.
This is addressed by the disk architecturing chosen for the TSM
database, where raw logical volumes and RAID on top of high
performance disks accomplishes that.  Complementary volume striping
largely addresses TSM's symmetrical mirror writing and singular
reading.  Whereas TSM's mirroring is an integrity measure rather then
performance measure, you won't get full equivalence from that.

In that case... you simply need to set the "Log On As" account

on the command-line are only meaningful for

Re: Update stgp devclass (Was Re: [ADSM-L] partitioning 3583)

[Prather, Wanda]

I don't believe you can change the devclass of a stgpool.
(after all, a stgpool contains media, and that media has already been written - 
 the device type can't be metamorphosed on the fly.)
 
But, you can change the devclass to point to a different library.
 
Sorry I should have been more specific about the devclasses in my original 
answer!
I didn't realize that your LTO1 and LTO3 cartridges are currently in the same 
devclass.
 
What if you update your 3583 devclass to point to LIBA, and check JUST the old 
LTO3 tapes into LIBA.
Then do MOVE DATA's to get the data into the new stgpool, send the original 
volumes back to SCRATCH status.
 
Then point the 3583 devclass back to LIB b, where the LTO1's are.
 
Will that straighten it out?

Wanda,

Thanks for the info, i appreciate it.  I did see in the operator guide that
the configurations are fixed, but i can deal with that.

I partitioned the library and put the two LTO-3 drives in Lib A.  The four
LTO-1 drives in Lib B.  The old device class was '3583'.  I created a new
devclass called '3583L3'.  Then created new libraries and checked LTO3
cartridges into Lib A, LTO1's into Lib B.  Now here's my problem:

I have a storage pool and LTO-3 volumes that are still device class '3583'.
But they're now in the Lib A LTO3 library.  Is there a way to change the
devclass on the storage pool or the volumes to '3583L3'??  Whenever the
storage pool needs one of the L3 volumes, it does a mount request thinking
the volume needs to be checked into Lib B (and of course the LTO-1 drives in
Lib B can't read the LTO-3 cartridge).

Of course i could wait for most of the data to naturally expire, but i think
there may be some long retention on some of the data.   Thanks for any
ideas.

There is over a years worth of history, and the search allows weighting

There are also RSS and ATOM feeds for everyone to use as well:

Why do you believe it should do otherwise?  As exposited in the Admin
Guide manual, mirroring is for disk failover purposes.  You can
artificially cause both mirrors to be read, via MIRRORRead Verify,
but that's for paranoid circumstances rather than standard operation,
and exacts a performance penalty.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TDP SQL Backups

On some of my SQL servers rights have been taken away from the local system
account to SQL.  In the documentation I found that I can add the username &
password to a user that has rights to backup SQL to the command file to run
the backup.  The problem with this is that it is in clear text so anyone who
has rights to the server can see the username & password.  Is there any
other way to set this up?



Thanks,

Re: Problems trying to use ISC & Admin Center

[Joni Moyer]

Hello,

I must be having some other type of issue with the ISC then... I keep
getting the message: "The administrative API encountered an internal error
while processing this request.  See the Administration Center section of
the Problem Determination Guide for more information."

When I went to the Guide it mainly said to call support, but I just
thought I'd ask to see if anyone had ever experienced this issue?  Thanks
again!

Hi

You can use any userid defined on the TSM server. You will get the
Authority Level defined for that userid on the server (like system,
analyst, operator) in the TSM Administration Center.

If the userid/possword is incrorrect, you will see the message:

"Your ID and password are not valid for this server. Use the server's
properties notebook to update your ID and password."

Subject: [ADSM-L] Problems trying to use ISC & Admin Center

Hello Everyone,

I have just upgraded our TSM server to 5.3.4.2 and I was trying to add
the
server to ISC.  I went to Storage Devices, Server, Add a Connection to
an
IBM TSM Server, but when I put the Administrator name, passwork, Server
address and server port I received a message that an API error occurred
while processing the request and check the Problem Determination guide
to
resolve the issue.

I cannot seem to figure out what admin name I should be adding in order
to
add a server?  Do I add my own TSM admin name?  Or is this something
else?


If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this set up properly I would
really appreciate it

Thanks in advance!

Re: Collocation

[Tomasz Hubicki]

No, move data will move _all_ the data from the volume. If you want to move
only some nodes' data move nodedata will be better, but remember that if you
start move nodedata, then cancel it, and start again it will start moving
data to a scratch tape, not to the one it used in first move. That was the
reason I used move data to redistribute data

Tomasz Hubicki

Re: Collocation

[William Kyndt]

Hi Tomasz,
 
Thank you for the response. Can you use the move command to move only
specific data from a volume or can you only move the entire content from
one volume onto another?
 
The reason I ask, is that we are only planning on collating certain
servers not all.
 
Kind regards,
 
William

>>> Tomasz Hubicki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 25/04/2007 09:21 >>>
If you want to redistribute data on previously uncollocated storage
pool to
collocated media, I would recommend doing MOVE DATA instead of MOVE
NODEDATA. MOVE DATA can be stopped and restarted, and will move data
from
tape following collocation rules.

Tomasz Hubicki

Re: Collocation

[Tomasz Hubicki]

If you want to redistribute data on previously uncollocated storage pool to
collocated media, I would recommend doing MOVE DATA instead of MOVE
NODEDATA. MOVE DATA can be stopped and restarted, and will move data from
tape following collocation rules.

Tomasz Hubicki
