The Exclude statement are wrong spelled.
You need to type

Ämne: Windows 2008 Cluster Backup won't start
Hello all,
We have been having a issue with a Windows 2008 Cluster setup for about
5 nights. All the backups run except the cluster backup ("SSENT-B-CLUSTER")
no errors
the backups schedules without error
but the backup never kicks off. nothing happens
on the tsm server it looks like it creates a session and immediately
terminates it. nothing appears on the client.
The setup and logs are below can anyone give advice or comment on what
could possibly be wrong.
the cluster is on the E drive

Re: Looking for SAN/tape experts assistance
There is a "by-id" section in the IBM Tape device driver installation and user guide (for LTO). Looks like it hooks into the RHEL udev stuff. I would personally try to find the same guide for TS1120 and send you a link, but I'm fighting an EDL problem at the moment.

Re: Windows 2008 Cluster Backup won't start
I see your "exclude" statements below. I do not see any "include" statements.
Do you include the directories for your SQL data? If you perform a backup
command manually does it work as expected?

Re: Determining devclass FILE values (a.k.a. New Server - Part Deux)
Very interesting discussions about FILE devclass and configuration whoas..lots of guess-work and differing opinions. Sounds like FILE adds another level of administrations (reclaims?) and not sure if it will really benefit me. Now I am not sure if this is the right way to go. Maybe I should just stick with what I was doing - 200-300GB volumes using DISK devclass. We don't plan to do de-dup (higher-up decision - they don't see the value/savings vs overhead due to our mix of servers types/backup types). The disk is an LZ for backups and then migration to tape when the stgpool gets close to full. Very little as far as restores go. Additional opinions?

DISK device class has RANDOM access and reclamation is not required at all. FILE device class has SEQUENTIAL access. File system is used to keep virtual volumes very similar to tape volumes. Volume status is moving like this: EMPTY --> FILLING --> FULL. After expiry data usage of full volumes can be reduced from 100 up to 0 (up to one small file on volume) and this volume will be not available for writing (totally unused disk space!).

Re: Determining devclass FILE values (a.k.a. New Server - Part Deux)
My idea was to create volumes large enough to hold all or large portions of entire files of this size. I haven't been doing this long enough for mass expirations to take effect yet so I don't know for sure how it's going to turn out. I don't use any diskpool buffer.

This is an AIX server with a 7 TB jfs2 filesystem with 1381 files in it. For now, no downside found. Why have you changed to bigger FILE volumes? And do you use a DISK based storage pool as 'buffer'?

Default incl/excl for win 2008
Would someone please send me the default includes / excludes for a win 2008 system? Or, tell me how to guide someone to get them added to their dsm.opt? I can't get at it, the dsm gui doesn't work with screen readers at all. Darn java. Gary Lee Senior System Programmer Ball State University phone: 765-285-1310
Re: TSM Windows x32 6.2.2 client
Hello, the 6.2.2.0 client is not available on the ftp site yet. The target for the 6.2.2.0 client is December 2010. Keep in mind that the target is subject to change at IBM's discretion. You can find the TSM Schedule for Fix-Packs on our Wiki site here : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/tivolistoragemanager/TSM +Schedule+for+Fix-Packs Have a great day !

I think this is particularly an issue with TSM volumes implemented within file systems, where disk block locations are "pot luck". (Formatting multiple disk pool volumes in parallel, explicitly via dsmfmt or implicitly via Define Volume, can cause fragmentation, as warned by the TSM Performance Tuning Guide and Technote 1248324.) Implementing disk pools via raw logical volumes, where your platform supports that, helps avoid fragmentation issues, particularly where disk pool caching is turned off.

Re: Determining devclass FILE values (a.k.a. New Server - Part Deux)
De performance of a disk based storagepool will be fine at the start but will degrade over time due to fragmentation, I have seen this happen on large permanent use diskpools. I would advise only using DISK based storagepools for temporary storage (soon to be migrated) or for situations were performance is no issue. We are seeing good results (disk usage/data stored) with a 10-20GB volume size. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] Namens Grigori Solonovitch Verzonden: woensdag 22 september 2010 12:39 Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Onderwerp: Re: [ADSM-L] Determining devclass FILE values (a.k.a.

Yes, I had DISK pools before, but I have migrated all of them to FILE to be able to use TSM Server de-duplication. In my opinion, everybody can use DISK storage pool as less painful till you do not need de-duplication. Now about performance: - I am using JFS2 file systems on FATA disks (RAID5 and RAID6) and I was not able to see big difference in performance after migrating DISK --> FILE. Actually IBM stated the same in some documents; - I think disk performance is a matter of disk interface (number of adapters, adapter type, number of paths, switches, etc) and total number of disks (RAID type, number of RAID arrays, number of disks in RAID array).

We do this so we can allow lots of client backups coming in and use the number of migration processes to control the data streams to the FILE storage pool. We also have 2 very very very busy 5.x servers with DISK storage pools. We are trying to migrate them to FILE based storage pools. We started with 100GB volumes but this was a disaster. Total storage is 17TB and 32TB. The server was running reclamation for the FILE based storage pools, backup to a remote FILE based storage pool and backup to a tape based local storage pool at the same time. Not good. When we changed the FILE based storage pool to 5 GB volumes, the result was much better. There was less reclamation needed because it is less likely that a volume has a status Filling.
