TSM server help needed
Hi folks, I have a tsm server running on Linux on System z that has 5 tape drives allocated. My backuppool migrates to tapepool and I have the backuppool set to 5 migration processes. Although 5 are running, only one tape drive is being used (2 just went offline for some reason???), so backuppool keeps filling up. q dr ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: QUERY DRIVE Library Name Drive Name Device Type On-Line --- --- L3584DRIVE0 LTO Yes L3584DRIVE1 LTO Yes L3584DRIVE2 LTO Yes L3584DRIVE3 LTO Yes L3584DRIVE4 LTO Unavailable Since 08/01/2009 12:04:17 AM L3584DRIVE5 LTO Unavailable Since 08/02/2009 05:36:53 AM ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: QUERY STGPOOL backuppool f=d Storage Pool Name: BACKUPPOOL Storage Pool Type: Primary Device Class Name: DISK Estimated Capacity: 1,127 G Space Trigger Util: 99.4 Pct Util: 99.4 Pct Migr: 99.2 Pct Logical: 100.0 High Mig Pct: 50 Low Mig Pct: 30 Migration Delay: 0 Migration Continue: Yes Migration Processes: 5 Reclamation Processes: Next Storage Pool: TAPEPOOL Reclaim Storage Pool: Maximum Size Threshold: No Limit Access: Read/Write Description: Overflow Location: Cache Migrated Files?: No Collocate?: Reclamation Threshold: Offsite Reclamation Limit: Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed: Number of Scratch Volumes Used: Delay Period for Volume Reuse: Migration in Progress?: Yes Amount Migrated (MB): 262,678.07 Elapsed Migration Time (seconds): 12,375 Reclamation in Progress?: Last Update by (administrator): SERVER_CONSOLE Last Update Date/Time: 07/31/2009 07:56:58 PM Storage Pool Data Format: Native Copy Storage Pool(s): Active Data Pool(s): Continue Copy on Error?: Yes CRC Data: No Reclamation Type: Overwrite Data when Deleted: Anyone with tsm server experience that can help me out would be greatly appreciatedl!!

Re: TOC's of NDMP lost
Stefan, I am afraid you can't generate a new TOC out of the previously backed up NDMP data. You may want to implement copypool for your NDMP TOC storage pool as well as data so that you can restore it with the restore stg TOC_STORAGE_POOL command.

Re: TSM server help needed
Lori, You could be having connectivity issues with your drives. On this post, you stated 2 drives went offline, on the most recent, there were 3 drives offline. First, check for any defective cabling on the tape drives. If the first step doesn't lead any conclusive results, you can make use of the library web interface; download and review the drive logs under service. If it turns out that the drives themselves are defective though it seems a bit far fetched that you have 3 faulty drives at the same time; then you will need to contact IBM to have those defective drives replaced. Good luck.

SV: tsm server help
Hi Lori, When I got following issue I normally try to track down the issue via the Activity Log to see if an tape course the problem or if TSM try to load a tape to the wrong drive. When that is done I update the path on each drive and put them back to Online=yes. If that doesn't work. Run Q SAN and compare with q path f=d to verify that all my paths are correct. If not, correct them by run update path again with the correct Device= switch.

Virtual Volume Restore Speed?
Howdy, all. I've done a decent amount of small-scale online restores from my offsite virtual volumes, and never been particularly unhappy with the speed. (though come to think of it I've never timed it either) But I'm restoring a pretty big volume now, and it's taking a L-O-N-G time. I was hoping to elicit war stories from some of you, and see if my expectations are just out of whack. Environment: Everything is TSM 5.5.3 on AIX. I've got about 350 miles between primary and secondary site. I regularly get 80 MB/s sustained running tape to tape from primary to offsite over this link. I've got plenty of TCP buffer space, and I've set my TCP windows to be 2M on all the servers. When I use iperf to check just TCP/IP throughput, I get 800-900Mb avg. over 30 seconds, with sustained 1Gb plateaus. So the network level seems reasonable. But the restore is rattling around in the vicinity of 2.5 MB/s; just incredibly slow. Now, these are small files; average is just 300K, and most of them are much smaller (email messages). But the database on the restoring server isn't thrashing, I don't find any bottlenecks at first look. So. What have you-all seen out of your restores? I really need to characterise this; It would Not Be Good if this were the best I could do in a real emergency. - Allen S. Rout
Re: SV: tsm server help
Hi Lori, Okay, back to basics here: I have the backuppool set to 5 migration processes. Although 5 are running, only one tape drive is being used Are you sure 5 migrations processes are running? The one useful output I don't see here is a that from 'Q PROC' - what else is contending for the tape drives? You still theoretically have three drives available so, unless something else is haggling for them, you should have at least three migration processes from your disk pool to tape UNLESS the nature of what you're migrating means that only one stream can run at the moment, for example if all that's left to migrate is a single (probably large) filespace which, as I recall, can only benefit from a single migration thread no matter what your MIGPROC is set to. /David Mc London, UK -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Christian Svensson Sent: 03 August 2009 16:50 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] SV: tsm server help Hi Lori, When I got following issue I normally try to track down the issue via the Activity Log to see if an tape course the problem or if TSM try to load a tape to the wrong drive.

Backup Stgpool using 2 drives taking too long
Hi list, The environment is TSM Server 5.5 running on a Windows 2003 box with a IBM ULT3580-TD4 SCSI (2 drives) connected. There is a backup stgpool process running on background for more than 12 hours (several schedules were missed during this time). The process is using both drives, one reading the data and the other writing, as expected. The problem is that, at some point, both drives stay IDLE for more than 20 minutes...then start reading/writing again (for a short time I might add). The process would be long over by now if this was not happening...what could be wrong and how can I put the drives to work non-stop, if possible...?? Any process that uses both drives in this fashion, like an EXPORT for example, is behaving the same way... Thanks Mario

Re: Backup Stgpool using 2 drives taking too long
Mario, So, if I understand this correctly, the primary storage pool is LTO4, and the copy storage pool is LTO4, and so the whole backup stgpool is straight tape to tape. Is that correct? When you say the process becomes idle for 20 minutes, how can you tell it is idle? Do you mean the number of bytes copied doesn't get any bigger? The total byte count only gets updated at the end of each aggregated file. That is, if the copy stream hits a 300GB single file, then the copy will proceed to copy that file as fast as tape performance permits, but the total byte count won't increase until that huge file completes. And a multi-hundred GB file could easily take 20 minutes or more. Next time you catch it in this state, look at the size of the current file, and do the arithmetic. Is it possible that is what you are seeing? If you can look at the tape drives themselves, you can tell if the tape drives themselves are reading and writing, or sitting idle, can't you? I suspect that the tape drives will be buzzing away, even though it seems like you aren't making progress. If I have misunderstood, and you can tell that the drives are really idle, then I would look at drive firmware next, then at IBMtape drivers. Make sure you are up-to-date We have 6 TSM Windows servers with IBM libraries and drives, and we are not seeing the symptom you describe, that is, periods of actual stalled backup stgpools.

Re: Backup Stgpool using 2 drives taking too long
Mario, Based on your server level (5.5) you may be experiencing the following: IC57855: TSM SERVER DELAYS TRANSACTIONS BY 1 SECOND WHEN RECOVERY LOG UTILIZATION EXCEEDS 80% RESULTING IN PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION Please check your recovery log utilization to see if this may be the issue. With only two tape drives, you may be blocking the system's attempts to run an incremental DB backup. If this is the issue, you may want to direct incrementals to a disk or file devclass.

Re: Backup Stgpool using 2 drives taking too long
Since you mentioned they were SCSI drives, is it possible you have a cable quality / length / termination issue on your SCSI bus. It might only manifest itself under certain signalling conditions such as those under heavy load by multiple targets.

Re: Backup Stgpool using 2 drives taking too long
Ditto what everybody else said- can be lots of things. But I've seen this behavior at exactly ONE customer with LTO4 drives in a TS3310. 2-drive processes would sometimes take hours. No errors recorded anywhere, just very, very slow. Peering through the TS3310 window, I could see (with difficulty) that the yellow lights on the drives were flashing while this is going on. If you look in the IBM LTO book, that light is not supposed to be on (it's weird - the yellow light means different things depending on whether it's blinking once per second, twice per second.) Indicated a firmware error, even though the error was not forwarded to TSM. And firmware wasn't that old. But upgrading the firmware fixed it.

Re: Change TSM Platform
Shawn, From my understanding, you are going to have to set up a new TSM server, and migrate the clients over to it. You can use the export commands to export policies and client data from one TSM server to another directly across the LAN. That will make it somewhat less painful, but depending on how many clients you have, this could take a few weeks. You will have to have enough storage capacity on the new system to absorb all this data. If you only have one tape library, you will have to set up library sharing, and have enough tapes to have two copies of some clients' data as you migrate clients over. If you want more detailed instructions, please ask. Many of us have been through such migrations before. According to the help on EXPORT NODE, you can't use it on nodes of type NAS. You will have to move the NAS clients over to the new TSM server, and wait for the old backups to expire before you retire the old backup server. Best Regards, John D.
