Re: SQL SELECT to show what's mounted and why
I don't know of a simple way to get a overview of tape drive activity from TSM, especially if you have a library sharing environment and storage agents. Frustrated, I wrong a script to give an overview. Below is a sample run of the script.

Re: Strange behavior on DB(?) or Log(?)
Fred I've seen this long delay before between tape mount (the process sitting there at 0 pages written) and the actual backup. In the couple of cases I've seen it's also whenthere have been a number of client sessions. After reducing them the backup starts. Is it fast once it's writing?

Look for a large gap between two trace lines, which would indicate at that point in the trace, the client attempted to call some function and experienced a delay. Alternatively, it might not be one big time gap, but lots of smaller (but not insignificant) gaps in time.

The usual suspects: this is not a cluster, and the admin sez he tried to apply the VSS fix and was told it was superseded by what was already on the machine. Any clues? Is there any chance that the DNS servers are specificed incorrectly and you are waiting for a succession of queries to time out?

Problem with Open File Support
Dear all, I have a two question here, and i need your advice: 1. On one client, I didn't use the Open File support, so the backup schedule failed (some files couldn't back up), but if I use the open file support, the machine stop responding during backup proccess. Is the problem on the TSM or in the Windows' Volume Shadow Copy Service? (As far as i know, TSM Open file support uses this windows service). 2. I have a TSM Server and also TSM client on 1 machine. I set a scheduled backup. But it seems the backup stopped, and if i see in the task manager, there's no dsmc proccess, and in the TSM, the server's session was idle.

Re: TSM Client GUI hanging at initializing
Steve, this is almost certainly a VSS issue non-specific to TSM (except that TSM uses VSS). Put the following into a script (say, vsslist.cmd), then run it: @echo off echo %date%%time% vssadmin list writers echo %date%%time% How long does vssadmin list writers take to complete?

Try adding this to your options file: traceflags service tracefile c:\somefilename (you can name the trace file whatever you want, enclose in double quotes if the file name contains blanks) Then start dsmc and wait for the prompt to appear. After you get the prompt, quit out of the client. Then look in the trace... while much of it might not make sense, what you want to focus on is the time stamps that begin each line of trace output. Look for a large gap between two trace lines, which would indicate at that point in the trace, the client attempted to call some function and experienced a delay. Alternatively, it might not be one big time gap, but lots of smaller (but not insignificant) gaps in time.

I have seen issues with my db upgrade but discovered they were there before the upgrade. I restored my old db and ran commands to fix the problems and at this time am trying to go through the upgrade again, but I suspect I will not see these issues now. I'm not one to speak for IBM but I would hope based on what others have seen that there would be a procedure to minimize any db issues before running the upgrade especially if the upgrade will not find them.

Re: TSM v6 -announcement
The organization I belong to in IBM was involved in the beta program for TSM V6. We assisted customers in the installation and training for the new release. I did the education for the DB Upgrade process, and also assisted in some of the testing for it. I'd like to pass on several comments here concerning this post. 1. IBM set a goal for the DB Upgrade process of 5GB/hr, and that is the expectation we'd like to set. As people have said, YMMV, and we have seen cases where customers have gotten much better than this. There are a lot of factors that can influence the upgrade performance, but the expectation or goal is 5GB/hr. 2. The final code is not finished yet. Remember, announcement was this week, but GA is not until end of March. There are still a few enhancements that development is considering to possibly speed this up. 3. I would strongly suggest attending a Storage Technical Exchange being given 2/26 (8:00 am PST) on an overview of TSM V6. This is NOT a session that will go into details of the functions of V6. It is more of a session to explain the considerations that should be thought about before starting the migration to TSM V6. We're going to talk about things you may want to consider such as hardware requirements, software requirements. space requirements, and upgrade techniques to the new database. Lots of questions are being raised here about what this migration will involve. I would suggest asking them at this session.

We assisted customers in the installation and training for the new release. I did the education for the DB Upgrade process, and also assisted in some of the testing for it. I'd like to pass on several comments here concerning this post. 1. IBM set a goal for the DB Upgrade process of 5GB/hr, and that is the expectation we'd like to set. As people have said, YMMV, and we have seen cases where customers have gotten much better than this. There are a lot of factors that can influence the upgrade performance, but the expectation or goal is 5GB/hr. 2. The final code is not finished yet. Remember, announcement was this week, but GA is not until end of March. There are still a few enhancements that development is considering to possibly speed this up. 3. I would strongly suggest attending a Storage Technical Exchange being given 2/26 (8:00 am PST) on an overview of TSM V6. This is NOT a session that will go into details of the functions of V6. It is more of a session to explain the considerations that should be thought about before starting the migration to TSM V6. We're going to talk about things you may want to consider such as hardware requirements, software requirements. space requirements, and upgrade techniques to the new database. Lots of questions are being raised here about what this migration will involve. I would suggest asking them at this session.

Re: Supported multi-version TSM?
Well, the Preparing for V6 info says the upgrade process Upgrades the existing DB to V5.5.x. It also says that if your DB is prior to V5.5.x and you need to go back, you would have to restore your DB vs if you were at V5.5 you could just restart your server. The recommended starting point is V5.5.2no suprise!

Re: Supported multi-version TSM?
To communicate to a 6.1 library manager you don't have to be at 5.5.2 server level Regarding the upgrade to 6.1, if you don't wanna go to 5.5.2 before the upgrade I suggest that you take a copy of your DB and make a test upgrade and play around a little If you are at 5.3.6.3 the upgrade will take some extra time due to several changes in the 5.5 code but I guess it will be supported The future will tell...

Well, the Preparing for V6 info says the upgrade process Upgrades the existing DB to V5.5.x. It also says that if your DB is prior to V5.5.x and you need to go back, you would have to restore your DB vs if you were at V5.5 you could just restart your server.
