Re: Failed image backup on Linux
Bob, I hope the info below help. ANS1304W An active backup version could not be found. Explanation: An attempt was made to expire an object, but the TSM server was unable to find an active backup version of the object. This message is preceded by message ANS1228E which specifies the object name. For instance, this message could be issued if two separate client processes are backing up the same file system at the same time. If one of the processes expires a file, then the TSM server will make that file inactive. If the second process subsequently attempts to expire that same file, the TSM server will not find an active version of the file, so the second process will issue this message for that file. System action: The object is not expired. Processing continues with the next object. User response: - Review the console output, schedule log, or error log and locate the ANS1228E message that immediately precedes this message. ANS1228E will identify the object that could not be expired. - Examine the conditions under which the problem occurred and assess whether those conditions explain the occurrence of this message. For example, this message could appear if multiple instances of the client were attempting to back up the file system concurrently. - If the reason this message occurred can not be determined and the message occurs when the operation is tried again, then contact IBM support for further assistance. Also try searching for this message number on http://www.ibm.com for possible solutions. -- Regards, Sunmansun Brocade Certified Fabric Professional 4Gbit/sec --BCFP IBM Certified Deployment Professional -- TSM V5.3 IBM Certified Storage Administrator -- TSM V5 On 5/24/07, Bob Booth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: A strange problem has just cropped up with an image backup on Linux.

Re: configuration for server splitting ?
As I recall, it should go something like this: First, set up the library manager instance on the same AIX host on which your current TSM server resides. When you define the library make it Shared=Yes; give the library a DIFFERENT name than what your current instance uses. Define the drives on the library manager; these can be the same names as what you use, but they'll obviously be defined under the new library name. You don't need to define these on your original TSM server. (I think you might also need to define a devclass on the library manager; if you do, use the SAME name as the devclass that's defined on the original TSM server instance.) You already have the AIX device names for the drives, presumably, because your current TSM server instance has working paths. You'll need to define the TSM server instances to each other, then define paths on the library manager - one from itself (source) to the library (destination), eight from itself to the drives, and eight more from the other TSM server to the drives (same AIX device names). On your original TSM server instance, quiesce all activity while you do the following. Define the new library on the original instance, using the name you used for the library defined on the library manager, libtype=Shared, and primarylibmanager=newTSMserverinstance. Update your existing devclass, changing it to point to the enw library name. Now you need to check the libvols in to the new library, being sure to set status=private and owner=existingTSMserverinstance. Make sure that the original instance can access the data (a move data will do), then you can delete the drives and paths defined on the original TSM server instance, and delete the library - this should delete the libvols, but leave the volumes intact. I haven't done this myself, but we've been considering a similar situation, and that's how we had planned to address it. When you set up the TSM server on the other machine, zone all the drives to the AIX host, and discover them. You'll need to know which drive has what name in AIX, and those rmt names (which will likely be at least in a different order from the ones on your other server) will be the ones you use when you define the paths on the library manager from the new TSM server instance (source) to the drives (destinations). "lscfg -v | grep rmt" on the new AIX server will help a lot; you'll need to know which WWN corresponds to which drive as defined in the library manager. You can deduce this by running the same command on the original AIX host, and comparing to the existing working paths. Again, define the paths on the library manager, not on the new TSM server instance. All the new instance will need is a defined library (libtype=shared), the same devclass name as before, and storage pools using that devclass. The library manager allocates mounts from either server as requested. If you want to dedicate some drives to one server instance, just disable the paths that have the other instance as the source - Never disable the paths that have the library manager as the source. The library manager also allocates scratch volumes to servers, and keeps track of who is using which libvolumes. The libvolumes will show up on the library manager, the volumes on the other TSM servers. Robben Leaf Hi TSMers, We've a single TSM-Server (TSM5.3.4/AIX5.3) and 3494 tape library with eight TS1120 drives. We'll split the environment into two physical servers because our database (actual 200GB) is growing continuously. There should be three TSM instances - one new instance as library manager for 3494 sharing on existing server and two instances (existing instance and a new one on new physical machine) for node access as library clients. Now I'm looking for information how to configure and migrate to this new environment but the documentation for the SAN/AIX part seems to be very poor. To ensure that the data flow over SAN on both physical machines (for migration from disk storage pools to tape) I'd like to build zones within both servers and all of the tapes on the fabric(s) so that the tape drives can be configured as primary/alternate rmt's on each of the two servers. If this is possible and supported next step will be to gather information how to set up the LIBRARY, PATH and DRIVE definitions and how to migrate all the libvolumes from old instance to the new library manager instance.

old admin web interface truncating numertical values after thousand separator....
All, Some strange problem affecting a brand new TSM server (5.3.4.0) running on AIX (5300-05-03), while using the good old web interface : looks like the numerical values are truncated after the "," (thousand separator) sign. This is what I get using web interface : Storage DeviceEstimated Pct Pct High Low Next Pool Name Class Name CapacityUtilMigrMig Mig Storage Pct Pct Pool --- -- -- - - --- --- TAPELTO3_I- LTO_PRIM 267 G 0.1 1.1 9070 NF_LOGS Same query, using command line : TAPELTO3_I- LTO_PRIM267,028 G 0.1 1.1 90 70 NF_LOGS Note the difference in estimated capacity ! Any numerical value displayed has the same problem, and I have no idea where it could come from. Any tip would be welcomed !
