Is it ok to create a Live CD along with TSM Client?
Hello, my name is Michael, TSM admin and developer of TSM Monitor ( http://www.tsm-monitor.org). I'd like to create a Live CD or virtual appliance of TSM Monitor so one could easily test the software. The problem would be, that I have to include a TSM client. Am I allowed to redistribute it in this way? I don't know IBM's terms in this case, can you please help me with that? Thanks, Michael Clemens

Basically, look at the \var\log directory. Files like messages contain recent errors,etc. This is largely correct (/var/log, though -- forward slashes :) ), as AIX is tightly coupled with the hardware it runs on, and can get a better glimpse into what's going on with that hardware. But various daemons will log things to syslog, and the kernel will log hardware-related stuff there as well (to the extent it can detect anything). Note that syslog can be configured to put the logs anywhere, so while the common default on Linux is specific files in /var/log, the local sysadmin could have reconfigured syslog to use different file or even a different path. That said, some of the big Intel/AMD server vendors (HP, IBM, etc.) provide support agents/daemons for their servers, and typically have a version of those for RHEL (e.g. HP's PSP). These often can tie into their central management framework (HP Insight Manager, IBM Director), but typically will also log detected hardware errors to syslog (and can generate SNMP traps). For those servers that also have hardware event logs, they also provide utilities to view those logs (e.g. the hplog utility in PSP). But it's a different world from that familiar to people coming from a background in AIX, HP-UX, Solaris or (especially) mainframe.

Re: TSM 6.x and dedupe
From the as yet unpublished (e.g. subject to change) Upgrade Guide under What's New Data deduplication Data deduplication is a method of eliminating redundant data in sequential-access disk (FILE) primary, copy, and active-data storage pools. One unique instance of the data is retained on storage media, and redundant data is replaced with a pointer to the unique data copy. The goal of deduplication is to reduce the overall amount of time that is required to retrieve data by letting you store more data on disk, rather than on tape. Data deduplication in Tivoli Storage Manager is a two-phase process. In the first phase, duplicate data is identified. During the second phase, duplicate data is removed by certain server processes, such as reclamation processing of storage-pool volumes. By default, a duplicate-identification process begins automatically after you define a storage pool for deduplication. (If you specify a duplicate-identification process when you update a storage pool, it also starts automatically.) Because duplication identification requires extra disk I/O and CPU resources, Tivoli Storage Manager lets you control when identification begins as well as the number and duration of processes. You can deduplicate any type of data except encrypted data. You can deduplicate client backup and archive data, Tivoli Data Protection data, and so on. Tivoli Storage Manager can deduplicate whole files as well as files that are members of an aggregate. You can deduplicate data that has already been stored. No additional backup, archive, or migration is required. For optimal efficiency when deduplicating, upgrade to the version 6.1 backup-archive client. Restriction: You can use the data-deduplication feature with Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition only.

Re: AIX to RHEL command
Just to try to clear this up: There is nothing in Linux corresponding to the AIX Error Log. The AIX Error Log is a disciplined, architectural means for recording system events, through /dev/error. Entries in the log are rigorously structured and readily reported in a uniform mannner, with event type, time, and details. This AIX facility is in addition to conventional syslogging, for more mundane conditions. Linux basically has just syslog, with /var/log/messages holding what messages that system facilities choose to log, in arbitrary form (and thus no uniform structured reporting capability inherent), with timestamps (but no year included, which hampers historical review). There is also the Kernel Ring Buffer, as reported by the dmesg command; but this area usually contains little more than boot time messages recorded by the kernel, with no timestamps. In pursuing a problem, you basically have just /var/log/messages, and it often lacks the kind of information you need because participation is so arbitrary. Linux is largely an undisciplined, free-for-all environment where subsystems are contributed by creative individuals having disparate views of how things should work and present information. And anything you become familiar with could wildly change or be wholly replaced by something new in the next level. Linux is a challenge for system administrators and systems programmers due its philosophical nature being such a departure from more rigorous, commercial versions of Unix. Personally, coming from AIX I find systems programming in Linux to be rather disappointing, and even exasperating, as exemplified by the absence of a Process Table from which one could readily obtain structured information, instead having to parse /proc files whose content is textual and whose layout is defined by narrative rather than structures.

It also covers our butts when someone asks, Why did you do it that way, why is it scheduled here, with only xyz retention? We can look it up in moments.

Re: Mainframe/TSM Question
A better question might be: how are they justifying converting everything to netbackup? This the exact question I was going to ask when I got in this meeting, which I thought was supposed to be today but nobody has shown up yet. Instead of coming to me to talk about TSM they went to a group of people who have nothing to do with either system to tell them how great netbackup is. One exact quote is he wanted to discuss whether we (or IBM) have gotten past the limitations on selective backup and discrete backup pools and your perspective on why the DBA workforce still seems to see Netbackup as a better and more flexible system that TSM. Mind you nobody' has ever approached me with one single problem. Again the story is much longer and larger than this.

I suspect there is a giant CYA going on because I added some other facts, which is probably why nobody has dropped by yet.

Re: Help needed configuring TDP for Exchange2007 with VSS.
Thanks Richard, Del and Steve. We still haven't resolved the problem, and other priorities have taken precedence for the Exchange admins. We think at least part of our problem involves an isolated Exchange test environment trying to communicate with the TSM server on the production network. Thanks again. Larry -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Del Hoobler Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 4:13 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Help needed configuring TDP for Exchange2007 with VSS. This sounds very close to the: ANS1353E (RC53) Session rejected: Unknown or incorrect ID entered This problem can be caused if the register node was not done correctly. In order for proxy authority to work, you must have as admin node of Client Owner admin privilege for the DP/Exchange node. This is normally done for you automatically when you issue the REGISTER NODE command. However if you used something like: REGISTER NODE nodename password USERID=NONE or if you used the GUI to define the NODE, the admin id may not have been created. To check this... on your TSM Server, issue the QUERY ADMIN command. It should show something like this: tsm: SERVERq admin Administrator Days SinceDays Since Locked?Privilege Classes Name Last Access Password Set -- -- --- CTNHEXMB01A 1 134 No Client Owner CTNHEXMB02A 1 134 No Client Owner EXMB01E 1 134 No Client Owner If this is not the problem, the other thing to verify is that your CAD Service is configured and running.

We have tried looking at all the documentation, with no resolution. I know this is not much information to go on, but I thought maybe this failure points to a specific problem. There is so much configuration information involved, I preferred not to try to show it all, but will provide whatever is needed. I also have a trace if that will help.

Redpieces or Redbooks on MS DFS?
Microsoft DFS is now present in our environment, and we're getting some questions about how to back it up. I've read the appropriate page on the Tivoli Information Center, but it is a little terse. (I searched the Tivoli Information Center, the Redbook site, and the IBM Publications Center. Lots of DCE/DFS stuff, but nothing on MS DFS.) Has anyone seen a doc with more background on DFS and TSM?
