Ugprade TSM from 5.2 to 5.5
Hi All, I'm planning to ugrade my TSM to version 5.5. Currently, I'm using TSM Server & Client ver 5.2 and TDP for SAP version 3.3.2. My question is, what version of TDP that is run well with TSM 5.5 and what is the best practice to do this upgrade? Can I just upgrade it from the current version to v.5.5 or I have through upgrade to certain version of TSM higher than the current to do this? -- Best Regards, Martin Panggabean Technical Consultant PT.

Re: Ugprade TSM from 5.2 to 5.5
Martin, I did exactly what you're planning (only I also moved to new hardware). Here's the very high level order: 1. upgrade the clients to a 5.3 level as its kind of middle ground. It will work with both 5.2 and 5.5 real well. 2. upgrade the server to 5.5 (doing the upgradedb command). 3. upgrade the clients to a 5.5 level. Step one should really be optional, but I had so many of my clients at 5.3 that it just made sense to get them all to the same level. I have clients that I cannot upgrade so you should be fine.

backup stgpool issue
I've got something strange going on here. If I run a backup storage pool command from my primary pool to one of my offsite copy pool everything is fine. It will finish whenever it is done. Same when I do a backup to my onsite copy pool. As long as let them finish everything is ok. However, if for some reason I do a cancel on the process things get interesting. I do the cancel on the process and wait for it to finish. I do some q proc's to check to see if it's finished yet. Once it finishes I then go back and start another backup stgpool. I get an error saying that a backup is already in progress. The q proc is coming back with nothing and I do a q mount just for the heck of it and it comes back with nothing mounted. It's like a hidden process that I have no control over and can't monitor. I end up having to halt and restart TSM to get control again. I'm running TSM 5.4.1 on a Windows 2003 box. Any ideas?

Re: backup stgpool issue
I suspect that some sort of timeout is involved. Storage pool backups use a lot of CPU, and a lot of db reads to generate a list of files that need to be backed up. I suspect that it may take some time to ditch that queued list of files before you can start another stg backup session involving the same pair of storage pools (primary and copy). -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) CDW Berbee System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com > -Original Message- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Tyree, David > Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 11:26 AM > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: [ADSM-L] backup stgpool issue > > > I've got something strange going on here.

Jim's command alters the storage pool settings for reclamation (for the threshold and number of reclamation processes to run). I'd guess that your "reclaim stgpool" command isn't working because none of the volumes in that pool have 99% reclaimable space. Your 86 tapes that are 99% utilized may not have any reclaimable space, or may have some amount less than 99% reclaimable space. In other words, percent utilized is not the same as percent reclaimable. You don't indicate how you consider a tape to be reclaimable. > -Original Message- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Jim Neal > Sent: Tuesday, 11 November 2008 9:33 AM > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] reclamation > > Hi Richard, > > I believe the command you want to use is: > > upd stg recl=99 reclaimpr=X (where x=number of reclaim > processes to start). > > -Original Message- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Cheung, Richard > Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 2:56 PM > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: [ADSM-L] reclamation > > Hi.. > > I have done some checks on my system on the Number of tapes to be > reclaimed in my main tape pool, and discover the following: > > No of tapes awaiting reclamation at > 99% utilized = 86 No of tapes > awaiting reclamation at > 80% utilized = 51 No of tapes awaiting > reclamation at > 70% utilized = 36 No of tapes awaiting reclamation at > > 60% utilized = 23 No of tapes awaiting reclamation at > 50% utilized > = 2 > > To facilitate this, I thought I would do some manual reclamations to > clear the back log... > > However when I enter in > > Reclaim stgpool threshold=99 wait=no > > It tells me 'there is no data to be processed' > > Not sure why it would tell me that if there is supposedly 86 tapes at > 99%> pct util awaiting reclamation? > > Any one has any suggestions? > > Richard > -- Hello World.David Bronder - Systems Admin Segmentation Fault ITS-SPA, Univ. of Iowa Core dumped, disk trashed, quota filled, soda warm.
