Re: piping commands in dsmadmc

[Len Boyle]

You can run the commands from a script external of tsm. 

Something like perl, rexx, A unix shell, or windows powershell. 
You can run the dsmc command from the script where the script process the 
output of the command, the script would then build one or more scripts to be 
run from within the script.

Subject: [ADSM-L] piping commands in dsmadmc

Hello,

is there any way to pipe use the output of one command as an input of
another? For example if I want to cancel a running space reclamation of a
certain storagepool. So I first have to get the process number and cancel
this process. What I'm looking for is something like this:

select process_num from processes where process='Space Reclamation' and
status like '%TAPE_FILESYSTEM%' | cancel process

Obviously this doesn't work, but is there another way to get this done?

kind regards,
Stephan

Yes.  If you specify wait=yes, then it will wait until the last process
finishes (or gets canceled).

Re: Wait=yes with multiple processes

[Tim Brown]

We use TSM scripts. I started out using a homegrown process
that did what you are doing but with REXX execs which examined
TSM output. It was not flexible. I later found a TSM script
that someone shared with me that does it all. We do use wait=yes
for the processes since we have limitations with tape resources
on our TSM server running Z/OS

Our processes run serially not multiple though. If I wanted to
support multiple I would run 2 separate scripts.

Re: Library manager oversubscription

[Robben Leaf]

The library manager allocates the drives to the server instances that
request mounts. If more mounts are requested than there are available
drives, then the most recent mount requests have to wait until a drive
becomes available. This is a pretty common occurrence in our environment
at certain times of the day. It doesn't hurt anything - it just makes some
processes take a little longer.

There's no need to adjust the number of tape drives available to each
server, unless one server has more critical processing to do and must have
priority to the drives over the other server. If all of the drives are
available to both of the TSM instances, the library manager will honor
mount requests on available drives as the requests come in.

Re: Backup of share will not work with schedule

[Alex Paschal]

Hello, John.

Instead of using a regular backup schedule, you could use a command
schedule.  The command object would be a batch file that executes a "net
use" command and then backs up the share.  Something like this:

net use z: \\172.17.16.101\archive2 password /user:username
dsmc inc z: >mylogfile 2>&1
net use z: /d

The advantage is that you can connect to the network resource
independent of what account under which the scheduler service runs.  The
drawback, of course, is that password would be in clear-text in your
batch file.  From a command prompt, type "net help use" for further
details on "net use".

Good luck!

Tim,
Thanks for your email.  There is not a Windows domain involved
here; I think the two clients' security is a workgroup.  I am logged in
to the local Administrator account, and I presume the TSM Client
Acceptor is running as the local System account as usual.
So you think the problem here has something to do with Windows
security, not with how I set up the TSM client or schedule?

Subject: Backup of share will not work with schedule


Greetings,
I have a server that I can't install the TSM client on because the
vendor who owns it won't permit it.   One alternative seemed to be to
share the directory that must be backed up, and acces that share from
another server to back it up explicitely as an object.   We created a
share on that server that we can access from another server.
I can log in to the other server, bring up the TSM line mode client,
and back it up with:

dsmc inc \\172.17.16.101\archive2\ -subdir=yes

And that backs up fine.  But when I build a schedule with the
\\172.17.16.101\archive2\   as the
object, it fails.  The dsmsched.log is below.  Does anyone know the
scheduler won't backup a filesystem that the linemode client backs up
fine?

Re: Inclexcl help

[Andrew Raibeck]

OK... so you have your answer: the EXCLUDE for the *.dbf files needs to be
repositioned so the EXCLUDE is processed before the INCLUDEs for the
/abcd-xy1 directories. QUERY INCLEXCL shows the include-exclude list from
the top-down, but as you know, the INCLUDE and EXCLUDE options are written
in bottom-up fashion, so the EXCLUDE has to go below the INCLUDEs. If
there are certain *.dbf files you want included, you will need further
refinement of your include-exclude list.

not, and if you really must import/export is the only way. (or just

Re: TSM server from x32 to x64 version

[Howard Coles]

It's kind of like this:

1. install the same version of TSM on the new 64bit box using 64bit
code.
2. empty all disk pools and delete them on the 32bit box.
3. backup your db from the old 32bit box, and then restore it to the
64bit server.
(adjust IP addresses etc. at this point)
4. create new storage pool volumes to match your old settings (or adjust
to new setups as desired).
5. run TSM and make sure all is functioning.
6. upgrade TSM to latest version.

This is a very simplified version as I'm assuming you know to create the
db volumes and log volumes on the new box with at least the same amount
of space assigned on the old box.

See Ya'

Re: Fastback has me stumped

[Nicholas Rodolfich]

Thanks Mark,

I finally got the install to work. I am not sure what was causing me
problems. My stupidity I bet. Anyway, I tried to install the client on the
same system as the server and could not get that to work but I installed
the client on a remote system and had had some success in doing my
snapshots. Thanks for your responses. It will be a couple of days before I
can attack it again.

Inclexcl help

Hi,

Here is the "q inclexcl" output for one of the nodes. 
The node is still attempting to backup the "/.../oradata/.../*.dbf"
files.
What is wrong with the inclexcl and how to stop /.../oradata/.../*.dbf
from being backed up?

Re: TSM server from x32 to x64 version

[Remco Post]

I don't believe there is an official IBM statement on this, but 64 bit
tsm servers can read all data written by 32 bit servers on the same os.

I've done upgrades of 32 bit aix to 64 bit aix and 32 bit linux to 64
bit linux without a problem, so I think windows must be just as easy ;-)

Re: TSM server from x32 to x64 version

[Henrik Vahlstedt]

Hi Bo,

I would first move to new hardware and run TSM for a couple of days,
then upgrade TSM.

I think it is easier to troubleshot possible problems if you split the
migration and upgrade.

to restore a full vcb backup, restore this one to your proxy VCB, then use

[ADSM-L] DR with VCB file backup?






Hello everybody,

I am wondering if you can fully restore a destroyed virtual machine which
has been file-backed-up with VCB? For example, I have a Windows fileserver
and back up all it's files via VCB into TSM. Now let's say a dumb admin
deletes the SAN-LUN on which the VMFS resides... ;-) When I install a 
plain
new Windows VM, install the TSM client there and do a full restore of the
Server's data onto it's virtual disks, would the restore be successfull? 
Is
the server bootable afterwards or do some system files have to be on some
"special" locations on the disk which TSM doesn't honour for example?

kind regards,
Stephan

Re: DR with VCB file backup?

[Otto Schakenbos]

Hi,

we have been using the following method, here the rough steps:
create a new empty vm with sufficient resources.
boot this vm using bartpe, partition and format your os installation 
drive. (c:)
boot again using bartpe.  if your bartpe does not have the latest level 
of the tsm client you can map a drive over the network to the latest 
level of the tsm client.

configure the dsm.opt file with the nodename you wish to restore
restore all files to the c-drive
now boot from the windows installation media and into the recovery 
console. Run fixmbr and fixboot


Now the box should come up by itself.

Have fun
