Virtual Volumes & DB Backup
Alper, Remco, Allen, & Neil, I went ahead and set up an NFS share on a NAS located in a different building then my TSM servers. Both TSM servers mount the same share and they deposit the DB backups in separate directories. Thus the immediate problem of no backups is solved. Neil, I will pursue that test tomorrow. I want to see what other fun things I can do with virtual volumes. Thanks all, I really appreciate your help!

Re: Virtual Volumes & DB Backup
Rob, On the source server, yes you will have sequential devclass regardless (irregardless?) of the type of device on the target server. The device is virtual and gets converted to what is real on the target server through some TSM voodoo magic. Try a small test by: 1. define a small test disk pool of 2GB or so on the target server 2. Create a test domain with the archive copygroup destination of this disk pool on the target server 3. Define the source server on the target server 4. Assign the source server to this domain with "register node type=server" 1. Create the virtual device class on the source server 2. run "prepare devclass=" on the source server 3. on the target server do a "query files" 4. if you have space on the disk perform a db backup from the source 5. look at the volhist on the source server and you will see the virtual volumes One really nice feature of recovering the DB from a virtual volume is that you need no tape devices defined in the OS so you can actually recover TSM while the OS admin is installing the device drivers and the SAN admin is zoning the new server to the tape drives( just don't reboot until the DB recovery is complete).

Re: CAD seems confused about what time it is?
Hi Allen, No, this shouldn't be a DST thing, unless the OS isn't patched accordingly to support the DST changes; and even then, I can't see it being off by that much (a one-hour difference maybe, but not 14 hours). What does the schedule definition look like? Is the 0800 kick-off within the window? What is randomization? IC53294 come to mind; pay no attention to the "Vista" bit, it isn't Vista specific, but I can't swear it is limited to the classic scheduler, either. Did this client system go to sleep at some time, then wake up? Anything in dsmwebcl.log, dsmerror.log or dsmsched.log that might hint at a clue?

Actually, it's 10 hours: It was trying to start this evening's schedule. If the restart of the CAD doesn't address the issue, I'll do the next level of troubleshooting, and open a real ticket. It seems it's not a "Oh, yeah, lots of us got that after the time change" sort of thing. Owell. I'll recap how it goes. - Allen S. Rout

What he said! A bunch! If you designate one server as -only- the target for TSM server DB backups, you'll find that that server's TSM DB is rather small. This permits all sort of different strategies in protecting the 'seed' of the rest of your TSM infrastructure. I've got one server, which I call 'ctrl', that does library manager work and hosts DB backups, and a full of it is less than 300M. So, I do daily fulls, and incrementals every two hours, stick those files on disk and rdist them all over the place. You could burn a week's worth of DB backups, plus devconfigs and volhists and option files for lots of servers, onto just one DVD at that size. - Allen S. Rout

Storage agent to multiple library managers?
Hello . . . (I hope I can ask this without making it so confusing that I don't even understand what I'm asking.) We have 2 datacenters with a SAN connecting them. All tsm instances, library manager instances, libraries, and drives are on this SAN. The 3584 libraries at each datacenter have a local/dedicated Library manager instance. All tsm instances at each site can access all tape drives at each site, via the appropriate library manager. TSM servers write backups to the local 3584, then make direct offsite copypools to the remote library. Say I have a node that performs lanfree backups to it's local tsm server and 3584 library, and then the tsm server creates the offsite copypool. All is good. During a lanfree restore, IF a PRIMARY pool tape is not available and a copy pool tape is used to access the data, that portion of the restore will go LAN - no lanfree path to the offsite tape drives or access to the offsite library manager instance. q) If I define the offsite library manager to the storage node and paths to the offsite library drives, will the storage agent be able to perform lanfree restore from the offsite copy pool? This means that the storage agent will have 3 server-to-server setups: sta -- to -- tsm server for the node sta -- to -- onsite library manager (with appropriate paths) sta -- to -- offsite library manager (with appropriate paths) Q) Does this work? Nothing I've read indicates that a storage agent can handle multiple library manager instances.

Re: Is their a way to find out - when was the last time a restore was performed for a TSM node.
Again, searching the actlog or the summary table for the restore information is fine as long as what you're looking for is within the retention of the ACTLOGRETENTION and SUMMARYRETENTION values you've set. Or if you're saving the actlog on a regular basis you can search it still. But if it's past those retention values, your kinda SOL. You can dig the information out of the accounting records, but again only if you have accounting on. I'm not sure if some of the OEM monitoring packages (TSMManager, ServerGraph) capture and retain this information or not. Might be an option for you, too.

Re: Virtual Volumes & DB Backup
Rob, Backing up your DB to a virtual volume is a nice option that I use for my entire environment as PART of my recovery strategy. On the target server, ensure that the ARCHIVE copygroup in the domain that the source server node definition is assigned to, has a valid destination - it can be either disk or tape. General procedure: - On source server: - - set servename source_server - - set serverpassword password - - set serverhladdress source_server - - set serverlladdress 1500 - - set crossdefine on - On target server: - - Define TSM server domain,policy,mgmt class and ARCHIVE copygroup destination. - - define server source_server serverpassword=password hladdress=source_server lladdress=1500 crossdefine=yes - - register node source_server password domain=tsm_server type=server - On source server: - - Define devclass virtual_vol devtype=server servername=target_server maxcapacity=100G *note play around with the maxcapacity parameter to get something that fits your environment. Now backup your DB on the source server - Backup db devc=virtual_vol type=full And save your recovery plan - prepare devc=virtual_vol On the target server, you can view the recovery plan - Query rpfile - Query rpfcontent Cheers, Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, MD.

Re: Is their a way to find out - when was the last time a restore was performed for a TSM node.
Hello, and if you want more granularity, you can also use the "REPORTRETRIEVE YES" server option. With this option, message ANR0411I will be logged in the TSM activity log when a file is restored.

Re: DP for SQL Server mirroring
I don't think you need an external tool. The two ways I can think of are just to run the backup on both nodes, knowing that the backup will fail on the secondary node and succeed on the primary node. Or... in the script, you can use an "osql" command to query the database state and execute the backup only if the database is online.

Re: DP for SQL Server mirroring
Hi Del! I think our SQL guys will go for the second solution. We use a third-party scheduling tool (Control-M) and failing backups will create a problem report. I will forward your suggestion to them. Again, thank you very much for your reply!

Re: DP for SQL Server mirroring
Hoi Del! I understand that using the same TSM node for backing up the Principal and the new Principal after a take-over is a solution. So: if ServerA is the principal, one has to execute the backup script on this server. After a take-over, ServerB becomes the principal and one has to execute the backup script (using the same TSM nodename) on ServerB. If I understand you correctly, one has to use external tools to determine which server (ServerA of ServerB) is the current Principal? Thanks again!!!

However, you will need to be careful because both servers will have common databases (like master and msdb)... and you do not want those backups for different servers to get mixed in with each other. You could have a separate line in the backup script on both machines that backs up the "mirrored" database on both servers (and point to a similar DSM.OPT file) knowing that the backup on the Mirror machine will fail. You can also look into "Proxy Node". It allows one node to store data on behalf of another node if the correct permissions are granted from the TSM Server side. There are probably a number of other ways to get your desired result.
