Re: TS3500 firmware/hardware issues
2. I assume these are Fibre drives. Even with experienced IBM CE's, like I have had, sometimes changing a drive, isn't clean. If nor done just right, the WWN doesn't come up with the original one and they need t do it again. If not then TSM does not see drive due to WWN doesn't match original drive. Do you have access to the SAN switches to look at that or good relationship with SAN team? Investigate there. We had this happen once when IBM replaced a drive. Also, if drives are being replaced and wiring changed, you may have SAN errors. You can compare: What the 3584 Specialist shows the wwn's to be Frame 1, Row 15005 0763 0F43 3501 What the san switches show the logged on wwn's to be fab5-110 49 49 idN4 Online F-Port 500507630f433501 What AIX has bound the RMT (lscfg -v) rmt274 U7311.D20.067A2EB-P1-C07-T1-W500507630F433501-L0 IBM 3592 Tape Drive (FCP) What AIX has bound the SMC dev to (lscfg -v) (for drive with lib path) smc8U7311.D20.067A2FB-P1-C03-T1-W500507630F433501-L1 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer (FCP) I would also check for san errors. For Brocade switches this is a porterrshow cmd. For AIX this is a fcstat cmd. I don't know any way to check the library for san errors. If your tape traffic crosses ISL links, check those links for errors. I would especially check your drives that have the control path defined. Of couse, none of this would cause your robot handling errors, but if the wiring is being played with and drives replaced, this is something to check.

Restoring and migrating backupsets
Hi All, I a scenario in which my old TSM Server (5.3.3.0 on Windows) has serveral backupsets generated to LTO tape. My new TSM server (6.2.1.0 also on Windows) has no means of attaching the tape-library (it's a blade server). What's your opinion in the best way to migrate those backupsets to the new server? I have some ideas and want to compare them to your expert opinion. Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards, Richard van Denzel.
Re: TS3500 firmware/hardware issues
FWIW, Check the firmware level of each drive and the firmware level of the library. I have seen some strange things happen when a new drive was added to a library, and it had a later firmware level than the others that wasn't compatible with the library firmware. The CE's should have checked that when they replaced the drive.

Do you have at least one Ethernet connection to the library set up so that you can use the web interface. It sounds like you might. We had parts of the gripper replaced multiple times. We upgraded the firmware to see if would fix things, it did not. But it did have fixes for the hand/gripper. We found that we had the hand set to no movement, then the backup servers could not do anything with the library. This showed as an error on the summary page. And the error showed up when viewing the library error logs. We also saw an error in fetching a tape cart before the stop motion. It turns out that this was part of the problem. The ce's found that one of the tape drive was loose in its slot and when a tape cart was moved from the slot next to the tape drive we had problems.

Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 7:44 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] TS3500 firmware/hardware issues I've been having numerous problems lately with our 3584 and wondered if those of you out there with one would mind sharing your firmware level. Ours is on 7270, with LTO2 drives at 73V1. I've been on this for some time and don't believe it is related to the issues we're having but you never know I guess. I believe the issues I'm having are related to the company performing maintenance these days. I say that because when IBM was on the hook I never had an issue that wasn't resolved the same day they were called and it never took more than one visit to get anything fixed, never. These guys break cables and say they didn't do it, replace drives like I've never seen before just because a tape was stuck in one, replace drives with broken drives, replaced the wrong drive, and at the moment, going on 2 weeks now, can't get the robot to work on either LPAR for more than a few minutes. I'm disgusted with the support so I'm looking for info from anyone who may have had similar robot issues in the past. It's been difficult to say the least now that I don't have a single source to troubleshoot these issues. I get these on both systems, drives go offline, paths go offline, nothing mounts, the robot can't find tapes, it can't dismount tapes from drives. Seperate control path to a completely different set of drives. I'm looking for anything anyone can pass on that I can take to these guys to see if they've though about or replaced certain parts. I can tell you one gripper went out about 3 weeks about and ever since then the library has been a mess. They've replaced grippers and other parts in the robot itself, all of which I don't have a list. When using the web GUI to run an inventory I've gotten errors, y motor won't move, x motion failure, excessive drift grippers errors when nothing was in them, accessor degraded, among other things. Bottom line to me is I never had these problems till they touched the robot and since I have no training on that unit I was wondering if anyone out there may have had some interaction with a tech that knows what he's doing that might help give some info that would help me communicate something worthwhile to these guys. Any advice, besides the obvious of get IBM to fix it, is welcome. I already tried that and didn't get anywhere. TSM errors I believe are all related to the library issue and I don't believe that either LPAR truly has an issue since they have separate hardware, paths and drives. The only unit they have in common is the robot itself. 6/29/2010 3:02:34 PM ANR8840E Unable to open device /dev/smc0 with file handle 11. 6/29/2010 3:02:34 PM ANR8469E Dismount of LTO volume T00560 from drive LTO_4 (/dev/rmt3) in library 3584LIB failed. 6/29/2010 3:04:54 PM ANR8840E Unable to open device /dev/smc0 with file handle 11. 6/29/2010 3:04:54 PM ANR8469E Dismount of LTO volume T02343 from drive LTO_8 (/dev/rmt7) in library 3584LIB failed. 6/29/2010 3:07:14 PM ANR8840E Unable to open device /dev/smc0 with file handle 11. 6/29/2010 3:07:14 PM ANR8469E Dismount of LTO volume T01268 from drive LTO_6 (/dev/rmt5) in library 3584LIB failed. 6/29/2010 3:09:34 PM ANR8840E Unable to open device /dev/smc0 with file handle

For the nodename set up to backup the system partitions of the Linux host everything works just fine. This seems to be related to character encoding: For volumes which use a filespace of type NTW:Long under Netware access is possible. However, for those who are set up with NTW:UTF-8 access is denied. NTW:Long is not an option for us as we have lots of file names with non-ASCII characters. Any comments or hints on this? Below is the error message and the current locale settings.

Re: Does 6.2.1.0 client do incremental systemstate backups?
Grigori, Thank you for your analysis. TSM Support says, the entire systemstate does not follow the incremental, but rather the System Writer component of the system state will use the progressive incremental operations. All other writers will still perform full backups.

Re: TSM 6.2 Reporting Monitoring installation failure
When we installed RM we also had all kinds of problems getting DB2 to install and work. Our problem was some kind with the DB2 admin pasword. Our windows system have enforced requirements on passwords - things like a certain number of characters, requiring special characters, and such. This conflicted with what DB2 would accept for a password. I don't remember the specific issue - I didn't work in this little project. What I remeber is the person doing the work went around and around with IBM support, and finally got it to work herself by finding some for of password that satisfied both Windows and DB2 requirememts. We finally got it working . . .tried it out . . .and decided it wasn't worth the effort, with too many bugs and problem . . .so we deleted it. We're sticking with our Unix scripted reports.

Don't do that. I'm sorry if I did not manage to describe the problem in sufficient detail. It is about NSS cluster volumes in a high availability setup.

Re: ANS1357S in a mixed Netware/Linux cluster environment
The information is muddled, in that you're saying that you're running a mixed cluster with both Linux and Netware, with both clients (at different levels) performing backups of the same data, ostensibly with the same node name. I would not expect good results from that. One query you should do on the TSM server is Query FIlespace TEST Format=Detailed to survey the filespace characteristics, seeing if there is some mixture of Unicode (as in UTF-8) and non-Unicode - and particularly if any filespaces are both, where TSM will default to trying to use the non-Unicode instance. What you're doing is on the fringes of product utilization. You may have to contact TSM Support to get further. Check your dsmerror.log for further indications of underlying problems, as well as the TSM server Activity Log for problem indications at session initiation attempts. A client trace (see TSM Problem Determination Guide) would reveal more.

Looking at the support site, I see that Windows 2008 (all editions) is supported as a client platform. Does (all editions) mean Windows Storage Server?

ANR8485E: No drives available, can't find root cause
Hi Everyone, I seem to be getting an ANR8485E message sporadically while doing NAS NDMP backups for 1 particular datamover. It has 3 drives attached to it which are also shared with another datamover. All 3 drives in question are online and the paths are online as well. No checkin or label jobs were being done at this point in time either. Any other suggestions? I would've thought that if 2 datamovers request a tape mount and the drive is not yet available that it will wait until a drive becomes available. If anyone has any suggestions just let me know.

I haven't moved to TSM 6.2 yet, but in 5.5 it needs to be upper('%$1%')

Re: Which TDP for SQL ver I can use to back both SQL2000/2008?
I do not think you have correct combination of TSM Client and TDP for SQL. TDP for SQL is too new for SQL 2000 (I think the latest patch is 5.5.3.2) and TSM Client is too old for SQL 2005/2008. I am not sure, but to backup to backup the both SQL 2000 and 2005 you need to reduce version of TDP for SQL to version 5.5.2.X and update TSM Client to newer version (we have 6.1.3.3, but it is possible to use 5.5.X).

SV: Restoring and migrating backupsets
Hi Richard, If you not can attach a tape drive or library that support that media. Then should I do a restore of does backups sets and do a new backup to the new TSM Server. Or keep the old TSM Server and the a single tape drive so you can do a restore. But I recommend to not use Backupsets for long term backups. Because of Backupsets are not flexible and can not move data between different media.
