For the love of god, please dont. You are going to kill that other
application. TSM opposed to other backup solutions does most of it's
work during daytime which will include heavy CPU and I/O usage.

Something else to keep in mind is also that separating backup and DR
machines from the normal production environment is a good thing since you
will have fewer common point of failures for both, ie less chance of losing
or having trouble with both at the same time.

Also, please consider system maintenance.  TSM is usually maintained during
the day when backups are not running.
Ask you newby architect if you can take this system down during the day for
OS maintenance/problems/etc.

FWIW,
When you upgrade to 6.1, your TSM server will be running Websphere (for the

I think your current way of "stacking" via LPARs is a better choice.

Re: TSM architecture

All of this depends on the amount of data involved, not the number of
nodes.  We have some TSM instances with 50 nodes that finish their backups
by 3AM or so.  and all the house-keeping finishes by 6AM.

Hi All,

My current environment is TSM 5.5.3, 1 library manager, 3 database
servers.
These are installed on a P550 AIX 5.3 system in separate LPAR's.  We have
355 clients, 200 + are active.  My current TSM databases are 100GB, 65-82%
utilized.  We are going to be doing a large  business object installation
which will add 30-50 new clients including multiple Oracle databases.  Our
proposal was to add an additional TSM server to handle the new
requirements.

We have a new "architect" that is not very familiar with TSM and his

Re: TSM architecture

[David McClelland]

Immediate quick thought is that whilst much of the client backup activity
for a TSM Server may well be overnight, most TSM Servers perform their
not-insignificant essential housekeeping during the day which, depending
upon the load of your TSM Server, may be a considerable drain on the
system's I/O resources (disk > tape migration, expiration, reclamation etc).

I discern that what you want to do is perform a Backup Stgpool, from a
primary storage pool to a fresh tape in a copy storage pool, until
that tape fills.
Under the constraints, you should probably define your copy storage
pool with MAXSCRatch=0, so as to prevent it from trying to use
whatever number of volumes it would want to fulfill the operation.
Perform 'UPDate Volume * ACCess=READOnly WHERESTGpool=__' to
first render all Filling state volumes in the copy storage pool read-
only, so that the upcoming operation does not try to append to a
previously started tape.  Now use DEFine Volume to assign an empty
(scratch) tape to the copy storage pool.  Now you can perform BAckup
STGpool to make a copy of all the data in the primary pool which fits
on that one, writeable tape.  If not all data fits, I don't see the
real value of the tape, or the overall purpose of the exercise.

Again, this is perverting the purpose of TSM as an enterprise storage
product, which needs to be unfettered in order to perform its designed
functions so as to fully assure preserving all the data.

query occupancy (help q occ) will give you various ways to view
occupancy.

I use this script to view total occupancy...
Display Total Space Occupied:

select sum(num_files) as "Files", -
sum(logical_mb) as "Logical MB", -
sum(physical_mb) as "Physical MB" ,type from occupancy group by type

Thanks,

Subject: [ADSM-L] Calculate total data backed up on tape

Hi Everyone,

Would anyone know how to calculate the total amount of data that is
stored on physical tape?  All of my physical tapes begin with a T* so
I'm thinking this would be easy, but I have not found the correct syntax
that works yet.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

Re: Tape drive manual

[Bruno Oliveira]

I understand, thank you for the tip and I apologize.

I have a small environment where you are using the IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager 5.5 as the backup server. Using client BA client, TDP TDP SQL and
Exchange backup to realize a pool hard disk.

The company have a tape drive manual, and the data in the pool of hard fit
on a single tape. I need to know how to paste a script running that makes a
backup of the hard disk pool and database to a single tape until it
exhausted its capacity.

I understand that the goal of TSM is to grander comporações but in Brazil it
does not mean much when the owner calls the company have to do, even when
they possess knowledge about as I do.

I need to back up the bank and a full backup of the storage pool to the same

Script for back up pool and db for tape drive manual

[Bruno Oliveira]

I have a tape drive VXA-3 manual, I set up a script to copy what has changed
in the pool and the database to the same tape without eject there. Where can
I get information about how to build scripts in TSM?

Re: Calculate total data backed up on tape

[David McClelland]

Joni,

Various ways to skin this cat. Is there a naming convention that links
together your tape storage pools? Getting stuff from the OCCUPANCY table
might be pretty accurate - this query splits up PRIMARY and COPY tape usage,
based upon a convention of *TAPE and *COPY naming convention.

select distinct -
(select sum(logical_mb)/1024/1024 from occupancy where stgpool_name
like '%TAPE') as PRIMARY_LOGICAL_TB, -
(select sum(logical_mb)/1024/1024 from occupancy where stgpool_name
like '%COPY') as COPY_LOGICAL_TB -
from occupancy

HTH,

Hi,

This one could give you an approximate value, but we have to remember that
tapes in the FILLING status have their %utilized obtained using an estimate
(estcap_MB), and thus are not 100% correct.

select pct_utilized,est_capacity_mb,(cast(pct_utilized/100 as
decimal(5,3))*est_capacity_mb) as MBUsed from volumes where volume_name like
'T%'

SV: RHEL5-2.6.18.96 - Lin_tape 1.24-Sandiscovery wont work

[Christian Svensson]

Hi Jane,
I normally don't use or turn on SANDiscovery on Linux 86_64 and x86 because of 
that reason, it normally don't work. I sow a article on IBM website where you 
need to copy a library file to /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin or something like 
that but it never worked.

One thing that pops up in my head when I reading your email is MPIO to your 
library? Do you have multiple paths to your Tape Drives? And have you turned on 
MPIO (MPATH)


Best Regards
Christian Svensson

Ämne: RHEL5-2.6.18.96 - Lin_tape 1.24-Sandiscovery wont work

Hi,

I have compiled the latest Lin_tape and installed lin_taped on my Linux RHEL5 
server.. I am using a Netapp Nearstor VTL emulating IBM LTO4 drives. 
Sandiscovery will not work, and at best will crash the system every few hours 
or so unless it is turned off - / or set to PASSIVE. When I scan the system, 
the drives are dicovered and connected to the lin_tape driver:
lin_tape: detected device at host 1, channel 0, id 0, lun 1
IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 022C
lin_tape: successfully attached IBMtape0
lin_tape: detected device at host 1, channel 0, id 0, lun 2
IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 022C
lin_tape: successfully attached IBMtape1
lin_tape: detected device at host 1, channel 0, id 0, lun 3

but as soon as tapes start loading we get various errors:
lin_tape: IBMtape2051868 tape_logsense_page() unable to do log sense
lin_tape: IBMtape2051868 tape_logsense_page() unable to do log sense
lin_tape: IBMChgr1-80401 changer_check_result() sensekey: 6 asc: 28 ascq: 0
lin_tape: IBMtape19b4fb0 tape_set_all_parms() unable to change recovery 
timeouts

The crashing has become very annoying - IBM recommends a QLogic hba driver that 
is not supported by QLogic or RHEL5 (8.01.06) We have 8.02.23 - but that might 
not be related.

IBM has been studying the information for a while now.. but this is getting 
very frustrated. The lin_tape compiled without error for my kernel.

Sandiscovery will not adjust the devices as it does on AIX perfectly..

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Jane
