Help tracking down spurious Failed 12 errors

2011-08-17 Thread Davis, Adrian
When using query event to check my scheduled backups, I seem to be getting 
Failed 12 errors for a couple of  backups which appear to have been 
successful (This occurs every day for the same servers).

I've checked the client schedule and error logs - but there is no record of an 
error and all messages are what I would expect to see for a successful backup.

Any ideas where else I should look?

Many Thanks,

Do a q act s=clientname for the backup times in question.
You may see something there.

Also, check the windows event log if the clients are windows.

Failed 12 is a common error when TSM failed backuping a few files. Usual 
reasons are the file is locked, the file was removed during backup and the 
account running the TSM scheduler did not have access to the file.

When you looked through your dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log, you couldnt see any 
failed files at all? Nor any issues with backuping specific filespaces (such as 
parts of systemstate).

Re: Help tracking down spurious Failed 12 errors

2011-08-17 Thread Andrew Raibeck
Does the TSM client dsmsched.log indicate that the backups actually ran (or
attempted to run)? If not, check the TSM server activity log for the
duration of the backup window for messages related to this node and
scheduled event.

If the dsmsched.log error shows that the backup ran, check it as well as
the dsmerror.log again. I never say never, but I am very hard pressed to
think that the RC 12's are begin generated with no error whatsoever being
identified in the dsmerror.log file, if not dsmsched.log. Especially check
the ending statistics for the backup where it shows whether the backup
completed successfully. If it says it completed successfully, then check
your system for another scheduler, in case there are multiple schedulers
and a different scheduler is having the problem.

What is the scheduled action? Is it INCREMENTAL? Or something else? For
example, if the scheduled action is COMMAND and it launches some script to
perform the backup, then note that if the script does not exit with return
code 0, the event will be treated as failed and the return code shown by
QUERY EVENT will be that from the script (which would be a 12 in this
case).

If you use a PRESCHEDULECMD option as well, and the PRESCHEDULECMD
operation does not end with return code 0, then this will also cause the
backup to fail; in this case, though, the scheduled operation will not run.

In the cases you mention, I would expect the return code to be 4, not 12,

the backup was otherwise successful.

The most common reason I see Failed 12 at our customers is when parts of the 
systemstate backup fails.

I just checked a customer TSM server and they had several Windows boxes failing 
with Failed 12. When going through the activity log, there isnt an actually 
error, but I can see that it's backing up 6 parts of the systemstate object. 
The result from the backup says 4 objects where successfully backed up, and 2 
objects failed. Unfortunately, the activity log doesnt tell me which part of 
the systemstate backup that failed, only that it tried backing them up. I have 
no access atm to the dsmerror.log / dsmsched.log so I cannot tell you what kind 
of error (if any) to look for.

Hi Daniel,

Ah, yes. In the case of system state backup, if you are using client
versions 5.5 or older, or you are using version 6.1.3.0 or older, then yes,
a skipped system state file will cause the return code 12. This is because
it is not simply a case of a single file being missed; rather, the entire
system state backup is no good because a missing system state file means
the system state is not integral. This is a situation the Windows system
owner needs to correct. Ideally the missing file will be reinstated or the
system state metadata corrected to no longer include that file if it does
not belong on the system.

Having said that, we have seen a large number of cases with missing system
state files that resulted in some code changes. Starting with version
6.1.3.1 and higher, as well as 6.2.0.0 and higher, TSM has been modified to
tolerate missing System Writer files (System Writer is the largest portion
of the system state and is the usual source of missing files). You will
still get an error message that says the file is missing, but the system
state backup should otherwise continue, and the RC will be 8 (assuming
there are no further, more severe errors that occurred during the backup).

This is a common situation in most most sites, where the TSM administrator is 
not afforded access to client systems, and yet is usually the only person with 
the knowledge to make sense of TSM processing issues.

Sites might consider instituting a standard client schedule model where a 
POSTSchedulecmd transmits a copy of the dsmerror.log and dsierror.log to a 
central location which allows such review by the TSM specialist.  Conveyance 
might be via scp, NFS, or even a 'dsmc archive' with a modest retention period 
and Set Access permission.  This should be an easy sell in most environments, 
given that logs are typically ignored by client administrators, and yet often 
reveal files which everyone thinks are being backed up but never are (as in 
Linux LANG/locale conflicts).

I fully agree with you Richard, and we do have a central log storage at this 
customer. However, in this case it's a simple matter of only being able to

TSM 6.2 / Amazon S3

I understand that it does not exist natively.  Is there a way to do it
via a storage gateway?  Other solution?

 

Thanks again.  Eric

 

 

 

 

No, this doesn't exist natively.  If you were interested in doing this
with TSM, take a look at Riverbed Whitewater. Using it as a primary
storage pool doesn't seem to be a best practice, however.

Well, there are a variety of Make a filesystem based on S3 projects,

That is why I mentioned Riverbed Whitewater.It allows you to connect
TSM to a number of cloud services using the file device class.

I understand that it does not exist natively.  Is there a way to do it
via a storage gateway?  Other solution?



Thanks again.  Eric









No, this doesn't exist natively.  If you were interested in doing this
with TSM, take a look at Riverbed Whitewater. Using it as a primary
storage pool doesn't seem to be a best practice, however.

Windows 2000 client error

Hello all,

We have a Windows 2000 Client that are constantly failing  with the error below.

1st
Windows 2000 sp4
Tivoli client 5.3.6.7

12.

I tried to rename and delete the C:\adsm.sys file it did not solve the issue 
anyone had this issue before and was able to solve?

Resolving the problem
The errors are pointing to a corruption in the 'adsm.sys' folder on the system 
disk. You can delete the entry listed by the ANS2070E message in the adsm.sys 
folder and run the backup of the systemstate again which will recreate the 
'adsm.sys' folder from scratch.


Thanks in advance!

Anyone using Power Mobility for TSM environment?

2011-08-17 Thread Nancy L Leugemors
Hello TSMers,

Is anyone using AIX power mobility for their TSM environment with hba's
for disk and all tsm traffic using the network to a NFS(Dat Domain
appliance)?

 We currently have our tsm server on it's own P550, physical server and
have embraced virtualization and would like to put a new server in a
virtualized environment.

We recently created a new TSM server to test the new DB2 version of  TSM
6.2.3.0 and also to provide some relief for our current TSM production
environment.   The new server is AIX oslevel 7.1 and we just installed TSM
6.2.3.0 on it.

Thank You,

I think you may be the first shop to attempt this. Good luck!
