EOS for TSM 5.4 and 5.5 (AIX)

2010-12-02 Thread tuncel.mu...@akbank.com
Hi,

Sorry if I ask a previously asked question, Google couldn't find the info I 
wanted.

I am looking at the IBM End-of-Support page 
(http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/eos.html) and can not 
understand what is the EOS date for TSM 5.4 and 5.5, can somebody help me ?

I assumed that they are not EOS now because they are fresh End-of-Marketing 
(July 16, 2010), so the big question is why Passport Advantage (show previous 
versions checked) shows only 6.1 and 6.2 binaries ?

Re: Database audit performance

2010-12-02 Thread Loon, EJ van - SPLXO
Hi Keith!
Been there, done that! During that run the auditdb finds errors and
fixes them, but as soon as you start a second run, the audit finds the
exact same errors. So although TSM says it fixes the errors, it doesn't.
When I run a full audit and a second run afterwards, the second one no
longer reports errors. So a partial audit won't work for us...

Eric,
This may not apply to your case, but in hopes that it does...  We had
orphan entries in our database that were confined to storage records.  I
believe TSM Support was able to discern that from the error messages we
were seeing in the Activity Log.  That allowed us to do the audit on the
storage records only, (auditdb diskstorage fix=yes)  and that ran much
faster than a full audit.  In addition, we  cleaned all data from the
disk pools before starting the audit, and that accelerated the audit by
a factor of 10 to 1.

Best wishes,
Keith

Hi Paul!
Yes, I meant AIX LVM mirroring. The biggest improvement however was
achieved by the unload/load. You should test this in your case too.

Eric,

Thank you for sharing your findings.  When you say you turned off LV
mirroring, are you referring to something like AIX LVM mirroring?  Or
perhaps to TSM dbvol mirroring?  Not sure if you are using AIX or
something else.

Thanks.

Hi TSM-ers!
Just to let you all know, I have found several things to speed up the
auditdb. We have turned of logical volume mirroring on the LV
containing
the database volumes and I have tried the unload/load before starting
the audit.
Database audit used to take around 17 hours, turning off LV mirroring
saved us another hour and after a unload/load (thank you very much Mark
Haye from Development for the tip) the audit ran for 12 hours! Deleting
all diskpool volumes before the audit saves me another 30 minutes.
I will plan the audit in two separate steps: one downtime for the
unload/load on day one and the auditdb on day two.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Database audit performance

Hi TSM-ers!
We're having orphaned database entries, caused by a very old bug, fixed
some server releases ago, but only recently discovered. I'm currently
trying to find a way to speed-up the auditdb performance.
What I'm planning to do is this:
1) backup the database on our production server
2) stop the production server
3) restore the production database on our test server which already
used
new disks, allocated on our new Vmax.
4) perform an audit fix=yes on this database
5) backup the fixed database and restore it on the production server
I already tested the scenario above and it works, but the audit takes
too long to finish (17 hours). Since we're backing up a lot of Oracle
databases, TSM downtime will be too long, the Oracle recovery logs will
fill up and the databases will stop.
We are running an AIX TSM server with plenty of memory and multiple HBA
to the SAN.
Restoring the database runs ok, Topas is showing around 25 Mb/sec disk
write speed. I have seen better performance on Vmax disks, but I can
live with this.
When I start the audit Topas shows a disk read and write speed average
less than 1 Mb./sec. CPU average is around 50% and vmstat shows no page
in and out.
I tried everything: mounting the filespace with cio, dio, using RAW
logical volumes, tuning read ahead through ioo, it doesn't make any
difference or even gets worse (when using RAW for instance).
I'm really out of options here. Something is holding back the audit,
but
I can't find what!
Does anybody have some tips for me?
Thank you VERY much in advance!

It is a parameter the restricts how frequently backups of a client can
occur. Say it is set to 1 day then those cients cannot perform backups
more than once a day. I have used it to control a few backup happy
admins here that like to perform a backup after each step of a project
which at times equated up to 35 times in a 24 hour period.

Thanks for you help Rick,

I normally see this set to 0. So does 0 mean no restrictions? (i.e - it can
be backup up as many times in a day as wanted)


   You said Say it is set to 1 day then those clients cannot perform
   backups
   more than once a day.

This seems strange to me since this parameter refers to a management class,
and a management class does not refer to clients, it refers to a specific
file space or directory or file(s). How can it prevent a backup from
occurring on a client? Maybe, the files that the management class binding
calls out can only be backed up once a day?

Thanks Again Rick!

I've been searching online, including a number of listserv posts,
and what
I'm finding is that the information I'm looking for seems pretty
fragmented.  I'm trying to figure out what the options are for
backing up a
VMware version 4 implementation in an all-Linux environment.  I've
determined that a proxy server is needed still for VADP/vStorage,
just as
for VCB.  It appears that the proxy server must be run on
Windows.  I'm a
bit confused about what's supported, though.  So my questions are:

--In one place in the client manual, it says that file-level
backups are
only supported for Windows VMs.  I read on another website that
TSM only
works with VADP for file-level backups as of now, and for full VM
backups,
VCB is still required.  Does this mean that VCB must be present
in order to
back up Linux guests, and that only full VM backups are
available?  That
doesn't seem right to me, but that's where the bits of
information I've run
across leads me.

--If the answer to the above is yes, does anyone know if there
will be more
options for Linux VMs any time soon, and what it's likely to be?

--Has anyone been able to locate a single, comprehensive resource
describing
what functions are available in what circumstances and what's
required for
TSM with VADP?

Someone please tell me I'm missing something

Thanks!





Re: What is Days between backups field in Admin Center/ISC/TIP

2010-12-02 Thread Andrew Raibeck
This maps to the FREQUENCY setting that goes in the management class's
backup copy group definition.

If effectively adds another criterion to incremental backup: that is, the
file must have changed AND the file must not have been backed up within the
past n days (where n is the frequency setting). For example, assume the
file was backed up on Dec 1. Even if the file changes every day, it will
not be eligible for incremental backup again until Dec 8, no matter how
many times it changes between those dates.

The default value is 0 which means that the number of days since the last
backup is not a factor.

Frequency does not prevent a file from being selectively backed up.

? minimal workable TSMv6.2 Library Manager space allocations ?

2010-12-02 Thread James R Owen

Are you running a simple TSMv6 Library Manager (LM) service?

I am trying to configure a minimal TSMv6.2 LM service and wondering,
what are minimal workable TSMv6.2 DB, Log, and Archlog allocations?

We're running an active TSMv5.5 LM service under AIX6.1 for some years now
using 1GB each for DB and Log space!  [See further below, if interested]

I thought these allocations were reasonably generous for TSMv6.2 migration:
DB01= 2GB
DB02= 2GB
Log = 4GB   [Active Log]
Archlog = 8GB   [Archive Log]
but apparently Active Log space is insufficient; DSMSERV LOADFORMAT fails w/

ANR0370E rdbicbck.c(772) During the format operation, the server cannot create
files in one or more directories that you specified for ACTIVELOGDIR. Ensure
that the file system where the directory is located has sufficient space.

TSMv6.2: Planning to install server: Capacity planning: Active log space:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/topic/com.ibm.itsm.srv.install.doc/c_srv_inst_active_log_space.html
says:
...
The default size of the active log is 16,384 MB (16 GB). Under normal server 
operations, you are likely to need an active log that is larger than the 
default. The maximum size of the active log is 131,072 MB (128 GB). The minimum 
size of the active log
is 2048 MB (2 GB).
...

But, that 2GB minimum size seems to be unworkable w/ TSMv6.2:

TSMv6.2: ANR Messages: Help for ANR0370E:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/topic/com.ibm.itsm.msgs.server.doc/msgs_server336.html

ACTIVELOGDIR,ARCHIVELOGDIR, and ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIR. Ensure that the amount of 
space meets requirements. For example, the directory for ACTIVELOGDIR must have 
at least 8 GB space available.
...

Increasing Active Log allocation 8GB, the error goes away,
so the ANR0370E message advice is apparently correct!

So...

How would you configure DB, Log, ArchLog space for this TSMv6.2 LM service?


Here's what our TSMv5.5.5 LM Service looks like:

[Our LM TSM shares 3 tape libraries w/ 16*LTO2 + 60*LTO3 + 16*LTO5 drives
 w/ seven active Library Client TSM Backup/Recovery services,
 and also runs a gaggle of weeknightly differential NDMP backups and

 How would you configure DB, Log, ArchLog space for this TSMv6.2 LM service?
 
 
 Here's what our TSMv5.5.5 LM Service looks like:
 
 [Our LM TSM shares 3 tape libraries w/ 16*LTO2 + 60*LTO3 + 16*LTO5 drives
 w/ seven active Library Client TSM Backup/Recovery services,
 and also runs a gaggle of weeknightly differential NDMP backups and
 weekend DR+full NDMP backups for Oracle DBs and VMware guests on NetApps.]
