Re: Cancel running script ?

[Wanda Prather]

If the script was started from an admin command line or via something like a
perl script, enter Q SESSION, find the admin session that is running the
script, and cancel that session.

Re: Exclude Files From Restore?

[Wanda Prather]

If I had the luxury of knowing that filename, I would DELETE it out of the
backup store by doing a DELETE BACKUP as the client.

Because I'm sure that even if I tattooed it on someone else's forehead, 3
months from now after the problem has supposedly subsided, it would probably
be ME that stepped in it again...

Re: Exclude Files From Restore?

[Andrew Raibeck]

Robben,

You can use the EXCLUDE.RESTORE option (undocumented), which was intended
for just such a case. A client option set is the ideal spot:

 DEFINE CLIENTOPT optsetname INCLEXCL "EXCLUDE.RESTORE naughty.file.name"

Note that this option is undocumented at this time, but it should do the
trick for you.

Re: TSM admin processes

[Wanda Prather]

I you are concerned about storage space, then every now and then you should
look at the "last backup" date/time on all your file spaces, find any old
ones that can be discarded.

Greetings,

In our environment, restores are by and large performed by the
Operations group. These are a simple folk, unschooled in the murky
depths of ADvanced STorage And Retrieval.

It has come to pass that the Threat and Vulnerability group is battling
a virus contamination. The infection takes the form of a file of a
specific name, which can appear anywhere on an infected server. It is
too late to prevent this file name from getting backed up to TSM.

A representative of the Threat and Vulnerability group has appealed to
me to configure TSM to prevent the possibility of this file name from
being restored inadvertently by Operations, for they are many, and work
in shifts, and are unlikely to consistently heed our admonitions.

>From what I can tell, Excludes in an option file or client option set

I have considered waylaying each of the Operations group and tattooing
the offending file name on the inside of their eyelids, but that seems
impractical. They are scattered among multiple locations across the
country.

Seriously, though, is there a way in TSM to prevent already-backed-up
files from being restored?

Re: SQL TDP lan free backup on VMWARE

[Schaub, Steve]

Howard,

Can you share the Exchange server physical config (cpu/mem/disk) as well
as the .cfg you use for these Exchange servers?  Are they x86 Ex2003 or
x64?  Did it run this well out of the box or did you need to tweak it to
reach this point?  We have several Ex2003 servers, one of which has a
total of 909gb in 4 SG's and is taking 16.5hrs to do a full backup (.857
gb/min).  it is gig attached, and the tsm server is using a multi-gig
trunked line.  I just cant seem to squeeze any more speed out of this
backup and I would love to find out how you are doing it.

Thanks,

We have 4 Storage Groups per Node, and 3 nodes.  However, 1 node is
about 600 GB, the other two add up to about 600 GB.  They all backup at
the same time of the night, when they do a full backup on each box.  We
have other Exchange nodes that backup at various times but these three
(being the largest) I have backing up at a time when they can have more
bandwidth.  We back them up via the LAN (1 GB NICS each) directly to
disk.  They all take about 4 (sometimes 5) hours each to backup unless
the LAN is congested which means the total backup time for the 1.2 TB is
around 4 to 4.5 hours, which is about 4.5 - 5 GB per Min.  Which means
we're pushing the TSM Server's NIC to about the edge. :-D

The TSM server has 1, 1GB NIC (Teamed in Failover mode).  Note: The 1
Largest node only takes 4 hours to do a full backup.  We used to have
them in a direct to SAN backup, but discovered that doesn't work much
faster than doing the LAN backup, and has the added burden of tying up 1
or more Tape drives per node, which could be doing other things.  Now,
if I had a 1.2 TB single system, this would be a no brainer for Direct
over SAN backup. But until it gets bigger than 8-9 hundred GB it really
does work out to be equal either way.

Re: [Fwd: Re: Windows 2003 Clients failing all of sudden after TSM server upgrade]

[Andrew Raibeck]

Tim, make sure you are logged in to Windows as an administrator. Take a 
look at the security permissions on the LsmLock file and it's parent 
directory, and make sure admins have full control. If admins don't have 
full control, change the permissions so admins have full control (for the 
parent directory, which should propagate to the LsmLock file as well). 
Then try deleting the file. Note: if you have any TDP applications 
installed, make sure you delete only that one LsmLock file.

Andy

Re: [Fwd: Re: Windows 2003 Clients failing all of sudden after TSM server upgrade]

[Timothy Hughes]

Andy Thanks,

Regarding the technote 1308592, does ANYONE know anything about the 
LsmLOCK file? I could not find much Information on it.  The technote 
say's to remove it, I guess it's not important it does not appear to be. 
I tried to delete the file per instructions but a message appeared 
"cannotdelete LsmLock : access denied Make sure the disk is not full or 
write proctectd and the file is not in use".


Note: TSM services were stopped before I tried this.

Regards
Tim

Look up the ANS1902E message and it should explain what's going on. On the 
surface, seems to be unrelated (at least not directly related) to number 
of sessions on the TSM server. You can use "dsmc help" and navigate the 
help menu to look up the message, or check the messages manual.


For the VSS issue, go to the URL in my sig and search for technote 1308592 
to see if that addresses that issue.

Re: what is the best way to export data from a node to tape before deleting the node ?

Will the export of a node trigger the export of the DB??? I just
notive that after having exported a node, I see another tape with a db
backup in its last use field when you do q stgpool

Re: TSM admin processes

[Schneider, Jim]

We run 'move data' processes on 'filling' tapes to reduce the percent
migratable value for our virtual tape pools.  This allows us to allocate
fewer volumes to the storage pools.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM admin processes

I would like to make sure that I have all the relevant TSM admin
processes running as I am concerned about running out of space on the
tapes in the tape library.

Currently we have the following admin processes running on a daily
basis:



Delete volhist

Expire inventory

Reclaimation

Migration



Is there anything we are missing?



If there are thousands of files backed up via TSM which will stay on the
backup tapes in the library for a number of years probably without being
required for a restore, is there a way of moving these files to tapes
which can then be checked out of the library, thereby freeing up slots
in the library for more scratch tapes?





Thanks & Regards

Hi Eric,

You need to add an WHERE additional criterion like this:

   occupancy.node_name = nodes.node_name

You could employ a two-level storage pool hierarch and MIGDelay in the
upper level in conjunction with periodic migration, which would
migrate old files (actually, Aggregates) which had not been recently
used in restorals.  Thereafter you would use the principle described
in Admin Guide topic "Managing a Full Library" to externalize the
lower level volumes.  But: getting operators to respond to mount
messages to return tapes to the library is problematic.

SQL query question

[Loon, EJ van - SPLXM]

Hi *SM-ers!
I'm trying to create an SQL query to list all filespaces with more than
500 Gb. stored in TSM, but only for nodes belonging to a certain
department. I want to use the contact field for this, but I must be
doing something wrong, because it still lists all nodes. Here's what I
created thus far:

select occupancy.node_name as "Node Name", occupancy.filespace_name as
"File System", cast(float(occupancy.physical_mb) as dec(10,0)) as
"Megabytes" from occupancy, nodes where occupancy.stgpool_name like
'%PRI%' and nodes.contact='Linux Department' and occupancy.physical_mb
>=50

Could someone help me with creating the correct SQL statement?
Thank you VERY much in advance!!
