It's 6.2 on Windows 2008 64-bit, with an HP library and LTO3 drives. I cannot get the library to see the TSM device driver, and it shows up as Unknown Medium Changer. I tried deleting the devices and installing the driver, but it came back the same way. Any attempts to install it just return a message that it's at the most current level. Thing is, yesterday I was able to work around it. I was able to change devconf.out to make the library a manual one, and it would mount tapes. I had to do some other stuff that necessitated switching back to the old server and taking a new database backup, and when we came back up on the new server, the devconf.out was basically wiped, probably on reboot. Now, when I try to make the library a manual one, I'm getting an error message that the device parameter in the define path line is not valid for a 349x library. I have no clue why it's trying to make it that kind of library. I've tried a number of different configs, and I'm beating my head against a wall at this point.

Overview NDMP Backups?
Hi, Just a quick question. How do you overview your NDMP backuper? I have a TSM Server 6.1.3.1 based on Windows and 3 NetApp Servers. What version of OS on the NetApp do I have no idea about. But on each NetApp do I have everything from 7 Volumes to 25 Volumes to backup every night. And my Script looks like this to backup them up NetApp1 Script backup node NETAPP1 /vol/vol01 toc=yes type=full wait=yes backup node NETAPP1 /vol/vol02 toc=yes type=full wait=yes backup node NETAPP1 /vol/vol03 toc=yes type=full wait=yes ... ...

The problem I have is, even if the script tells me completed, that doesn't mean NDMP have backup all volumes. When I compare query nasbackup NETAPP1 * begind=-1 endd=today and compare with my NetApp1 Script. I can see that many of my Volumes haven't been backed up. What I'm wondering is how do you overview your NetApp backups, and can confirm that they have been 100% completed.

Re: Overview NDMP Backups?
I've been using QUERY FILESPACES and comparing the start of backup and end of backup times, as well as a QUERY PROCESS. If the NAS Backup processes aren't running, then QUERY FILESPACES will show filespaces that were backed up with end times that are the same as or later than the begin times. The SUMMARY table is also good for showing results of NAS Backups. This works on V5 and V6 in my experience. Nick On May 6, 2010, at 4:30 AM, Christian Svensson wrote: Hi, Just a quick question.

Re: disk / file pool on SAN without SANergy or GPFS?
Thanks for the information. It seems that SANergy gets fairly bad press on this forum, or are there success stories out there too? And the software seems ancient (last release in 2002?) Is it still a viable solution? I was hoping that a FILE library shared and managed by the TSM server would handle locking, but this kind of storage is new to me. Thanks...

Sanergy is what allows you to share the filesystem amongst multiple servers. GPFS is a an alternative to SANergy that also provides the file and block locking necessary to share a physical device among multiple hosts. I may be wrong, but I believe that the only two supported LAN free protocols are GPFS and SANergy. If TSM supported CIFS or NFS shares as stgpools it might be able to do something similar with a filer, but I'm pretty confident that is not supported. You definitely cannot do it with iSCSI, because that is a block device, not a file share. Hope this helps. I have not done a SANergy install in 4 years, so things may have changed.

reclamation no longer working
TSM server 5.4.1.0 running on Windows 2003. I have an offsite copypool that has decided to no longer do reclamation. I noticed that I had far more tapes in that pool that I would have expected. I checked the pct_utilized numbers and saw that the tapes varied from 99% down to just 5-6% utilized. When I manually run the reclamation process and then do q process I see that I have the right number of processes that start up. But the status never changes from showing zero moved files. It just sits there like it's thinking about it but never mounts anything. It runs for the duration I set then closes out. I also moved the duration back and forth from a few minutes to a couple of hours and that didn't help either. I've run the threshold up and down from a few percentage points up to 80-90% hoping something would change but no difference. I have plenty of scratch tapes and mount points. I have another onsite tapepool that is identical. But it will do reclamation just fine. Just for the heck of it I created a new offsite tapepool using essentially the same settings as the old pool and it's appears to run reclamations just fine. Nothing has been changed in the settings for the offsite copypool and the onsite copypool either.

Re: disk / file pool on SAN without SANergy or GPFS?
SANergy, SAN-FS, SVC...Some products IBM brings to market are hits, some aren't. The two aggrivations we had with SANergy (and I'm not talking about my current employer) were that it required a Windows host for CIFS, and a UNIX host for NFS. (I think Solaris was the preferred UNIX at the time for SANergy.) The second aggrivation was that it didn't perform well enough to be worth the trouble, at least in our tests. I think these days, if you have a NFS/CIFS or iSCSI target to back up to, you create one or more disk storage pools on it and have one or more TSM server instances handle keeping track of who is using what.

Re: Overview NDMP Backups?
If your intent is to backup all the volumes on the filer, it may be good to periodically backup the filer without an explicit list, so any new filesystems are picked up. For example on a Saturday. Then on Monday query the filesystems on the node and see if any haven't backed up in the last day. Any that implicitly are picked up, but not on the explicit list, will show up as having missed a day. I think we also queried the occupancy, as there would be one object per file system per completed backup in both the onsite and offsite pools. So in our case we'd see 90 objects in the onsite pool, and 89 in the offsite pool if the copy storage pool job was still running. If one of the filessytems came back with only 80 objects, the filer admin may have retired a volume and forgotten to tell us.

Re: reclamation no longer working
I'm doing a move data now. Or trying too. The process has been running for about 30 minutes with zero bytes moved. Nothing showing from a q request, nothing showing from a q mount. All drives online and plenty of mount points. I would expect it to mount a scratch tape and start moving data primary pool to the tape. I guess I'll go ahead and do the update to version 5.5.x sooner than I planned.. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Jorge Amil Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 11:59 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] reclamation no longer working I recomend you do a move data with 99% tapes.

In my experience, that is a manifestation of the TSM server running through the database (you should see a lot of disk activity there) compiling a list of all the onsite tapes necessary to represent all the files on the offsite tape which is to be reclaimed.

The higher the capacity of the offsite tape, and the more remaining unexpired data on it, the longer this can take. Watch for the conclusion of the Move Data in the Activity Log, one way or the other; and check for abnormalities reflected in that log during the discovery process. There may be some database problems or unavailable onsite tapes thwarting this process. Bringing offsite tapes back and reclaiming them onsite is much faster; but, of course, then that data is not offsite. Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs/

I have plenty of scratch tapes and mount points. Try running one at 99% and _no_ time limit, and expect it to run for days. There's a huge amount of bookkeeping work TSM does at the outset. If you've gotten yourself stuck somewhere, and lots of time has passed, you may have a large backlog. In that case, trying little nibbles is the only way to go. You could also approach this from the -OFFSITERECLAIMLimit--=--number_of_volumes- side, limiting it to just a few at a time. - Allen S. Rout

Re: Does TSM Have a way to Automatically Determine How many CPUS
I found a freeware utility called WinAudit.exe It collects system information on Windows Servers, including processor information. It took me about 20 minutes to automate the collection on all my clients using a simple batch file run from my workstation. The utility collects a huge amount of info, but has switches to limit what it collects, and can output in text, Html, CSV etc. Here is a sample from the output: The first section of the output (System Overview) shows the number of processors. (Two on this server) -- | Item | Value | -- | Computer Name | X | | Domain Name | X | | Site Name | X | | Roles | Workstation, Server, Non-Domain Controller Server, Backup Browser | | Description | - | | Operating System | Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition 32-Bit | | Manufacturer | HP | | Model | ProLiant DL380 G4 | | Serial Number | | | Asset Tag | | | Number Of Processors | 2 | | Processor Description | Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz | | Total Memory | 3072MB | | Total Hard Drive | 437GB | | Display | Minicom LTD Smart Plus, 15.7 (32cm x 24cm) | | BIOS Version | HP - 2 | | User Account | | | System Uptime | 57 Days, 8 Hours, 16 Minutes | | Local Time| 2010-05-06 10:20:00 | -- Then in the Detailed Information Section, it tells how many Logical processors and how many cores for each processor.

TSM 6.1 ODBC
Hi, in TSM 6.1 I have had to updated the ODBC from TSM to DB2 ODBC and what is my surprise the tables in DB2 are different than previous version, for example auditocc doesn't exist any more. I have created a lot of queries and I would like to know if IBM has provided the views or the db Schema in order to create my reportings or something like that. It is curisous because select * from auditocc works for TSM but from DB2 we get a error becuase the table doesn't exist. Any suggestion ? Regards, Fran
