Re: verify management class
I believe it should look for new domain default management class Besides , you should also consider increasing backup retention associated to policy domain. If any object bound to specific management class and if it doesn't found the same management class in your new domain then it will consider policy domain backup retention grace period. So it would also protect your data https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsmaixn.doc%2Fanragd55434.htm By Sarav +65-82284384 On 22 Oct 2014, at 2:56 am, Hanover, Cameron chano...@umich.edu wrote: While I search for answers elsewhere, maybe someone already has an answer floating around in their head. TSM server 6.3. I have a user that has about 2 weeks worth of TDP/SQL backups. They have turned off backups on the node. They have a 60 day retention policy currently. They want to retain all two weeks of backups for 365 days, including the inactive ones. My thought was this: Create a new domain with a new default management class that has a 365 day retention. Update the node to that domain, and all of its backups would be assigned the default retention policy of the new domain. I was hoping that I could query the backups table to verify that this was the case, but it doesn't appear to be that simple. select hl_name,ll_name,class_name,state from backups where node_name='BF-SPDB01_SQL' HL_NAME: \WSS_Content_uhr\ LL_NAME: full CLASS_NAME: DEFAULT STATE: ACTIVE_VERSION When expiration runs, will it consider the default retention policy of the domain when the backup was performed, or will it look at the new domain? My backup idea is to update the STANDARD management class on another server instance to 365 days retention and export the node over there. -- Cameron Hanover chano...@umich.edu A parade of thugs and fashion critics could pass through your living room without you noticing, provided you were distracted by a sufficiently shiny piece of tinfoil. --Lore Sjöberg
TSM for VE 7.1.1 upgrade question
I have a number of data movers set up with Baclient 7.1.0 and TSM for VE 7.1.0 that are working OK but I wanted to update them to 7.1.1. The main reason is the many failures I get when it does not back up VM Templates (backup of templates is disabled but 7.1.0 still counts these as failures). The issue I ran into is that I update just the Baclient (so far) to 7.1.1 and ran the GUI to do a test backup. Now that data mover only offers Periodic Full - Full as the backup type (not greyed out but no other choice). On the other servers the choice is greyed out and set to Incremental Forever - Incremental. When I try a test backup with the Periodic Full - Full setting on the upgraded server it fails with the error: ANS9395E The filespace has been migrated to the incremental forever model Is this caused by the update of Baclient to 7.1.1 or is there some other configuration error?

Re: TSM for VE 7.1.1 upgrade question
One more thing I just noticed. The selection was greyed out because I had not yet selected a server to back up. Once you select a server, the pull down becomes active and you get 4 choices on the 7.1.0 setups with the default being Incremental Forever - Incremental but the updated client only has the one choice Periodic Full - Full.

Deduplication anomalies
I am trying to determine the causes of two anomalies in the behavior of a deduplicated storage pool in our TSM test environment. The test environment uses TSM 6.2.5.0 server code running under zSeries Linux. The environment has been using only server side deduplication since early September. Some tests before that time used client side deduplication. The first anomaly has to do with reclamation of the deduplicated storage pool. For the last several days 'reclaim stgpool' commands have ended immediately with the message: ANR2111W RECLAIM STGPOOL: There is no data to process for LDH. This was surprising, given the amount of duplicated date reported by 'identify duplicates' processes. Yesterday I discovered that the storage pool had several volumes that were eligible for reclamation with the threshold that had been specified in the 'reclaim stgpool' commands. There had been a successful storage pool backup after the then most recent client backup sessions. I was able to perform 'move data' commands for each of the eligible volumes. The second anomaly has to do with filling volumes. The deduplicated storage pool has 187 filling volumes with a reported occupancy of 0.0. Most of these also have the percentage of reclaimable space also reported as 0.0, and all have the percentage of reclaimable space below 20. Most of the last write dates are concentrated in three afternoons. I maintain a document in which I log changes in the test environment and observations of the behavior of the environment. This document does not show any change in the environment or any observed anomalies on the days when most of the low occupancy volumes were last written. The test environment has two collocation groups. I have verified that the deduplicated storage pool is configured for collocation by group and that every node is in one of the collocation groups. All of the volumes in the storage pool have an access setting of 'READWRITE'. I have tried performing 'move data' commands for a few of the low occupancy volumes. The test environment consistently allocated a new scratch volume for output rather than adding the contents of the input volume to one of the few filling volumes with substantial amounts of data or to one of the many other low occupancy volumes. Web searches for the ANR2111W message turned up nothing except reminders that a storage pool backup is needed before reclamation. Web searches for various groups of keywords related to the second anomaly have turned up nothing recognizably relevant.

TSM 7.1 usage of volumes for dedupe
We just installed TSM 7.1 during the summer and have been working on migrating our backups over from our old v5.5 system. We are using deduplication for our main storage pool and it seems to work great. However, I'm concerned about how it is using the volumes in the storage pool. Since we never ran v6, I don't know if this is normal or if we have stumbled upon a bug in 7.1. So, I figured I'd ask on the list and see if any of you have some insight. Our dedupe storage pool is dev class FILE, of course. It is set up to acquire new scratch volumes as it needs over time. Originally, I had the max scratch vols allowed at 999, which seemed reasonable. After about a month, though, we hit that max and I had to keep raising it. When I query the volumes belonging to this pool, I see many, many of them in full status, with pct util=0: Volume Name Storage Device Estimated Pct Volume Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Status --- -- - - /data0/0B55.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0B8F.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0BCF.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0BD6.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C16.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C2A.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C63.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 49.9 G 100.0 Full /data0/0C72.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C79.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C84.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C8C.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C93.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0C9A.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0CA1.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full /data0/0CB3.BFS DEDUPEPOOL FILE 50.0 G 0.0 Full Literally, hundreds of them.

Yeah, I do it regularly, at least once a week. We also have a replication server, but I like the security of having them on tape too. I usually run the reclamation after the backup is done.

Re: TSM VE Question
Hi David, The versioning is on the virtual machine and not the disks; so the vm backups that have disk #2 included will last as long as the parent vm in terms of policy. Each incremental backup creates a new version of the vm backup and will thus expire the current active version; so if you have a daily schedule set-up for incr. forever backups, the backups in question will age out naturally.

Re: TSM 7.1 usage of volumes for dedupe
Interesting. Seems very similar, except the status of these volumes is FULL, not EMPTY. However, the %reclaimable space is 0.0. I think this is a bug. I would expect the volume to leave the pool once it is reclaimed. It would be OK with me if it did not. However, since the status is FULL, it will never be reused. That seems wrong. If it is going to remain attached to the dedupepool, the status should convert to EMPTY so the file can be reused. Or, go away altogether so the space can be reclaimed and reused. In looking at the filesystem on the Linux side (sorry I didn't mention this is running on RHEL), the file exists on /data0, but with no size: [urmm@tsmserver data0]$ ls -l *d57* -rw--- 1 tsminst1 tsmsrvrs 0 Oct 10 20:22 0d57.bfs /data0 is 100% utilized, so this file can never grow. Seems like it should get cleaned up rather than continue to exist.

Re: TSM 7.1 usage of volumes for dedupe
Martha, I guess your FS is quite large. You can obtain some free space by reducing the percentage of reserved blocks. Default is 5%, you can safely decrease this value to 2%, see m option of the tune2fs command. -- Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي Erwann SIMON - Mail original - De: Martha M McConaghy martha.mccona...@marist.edu À: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Envoyé: Mercredi 22 Octobre 2014 20:22:31 Objet: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM 7.1 usage of volumes for dedupe Interesting.

Re: TSM 7.1 usage of volumes for dedupe
Hi Martha, I see this situation occur when a filesystem gets almost completely full. Do 'q dirsp dev-class-name' to check for nearly full filesystems. The server doesn't fence off a filesystem like this, instead it keeps hammering on it, allocating new volumes. When it tries to write to a volume and gets an immediate out-of-space error, it marks the volume full so it won't try to use it again. I run this sql to find such volumes and delete them - select 'del v '||cast(volume_name as char(40)), cast(stgpool_name as char(30)), last_write_date - from volumes where upper(status) = 'FULL' and pct_utilized = 0 and pct_reclaim = 0 order by 2, 3 You should remove such filesystems from the devclass directory list until reclaim has emptied them a little bit.

Re: TSM for VE 7.1.1 upgrade question
Are you saying the download I got from the open FTP site will not work? I was able to trigger a command line backup if I included the -mode=IFINCR option, but the first time I tried it I got the license error. I found the old license from the initial install and copied it to the BACLIENT directory and was able to do a manual command line backup. If I have to log into some PPA site to download a good installer I will need to find one of my co-workers who has done this before to help me out as I have not used that myself.

When I try a test backup with the Periodic Full - Full setting on the upgraded server it fails with the error: ANS9395E The filespace has been migrated to the incremental forever model Is this caused by the update of Baclient to 7.1.1 or is there some other configuration error?

Re: TSM for VE 7.1.1 upgrade question
OK now that I have put a copy of the LIC file into the BACLIENT directory it looks like the GUI is working now (it gives me the incremental forever option). I guess maybe this is a feature it will only show you if it sees the license file? I have one of my co-workers downloading from the PPA now but that will take a while. Thanks everyone for the help.

My problem is the GUI is stuck in the Periodic Full - Full mode with no other options in the pull down menu. Will the fix described in the APAR address this issue?

The local fix suggests: 1 - Run custom install of the 7.1.1.0 TSM for Virtual Environments install suite from PPA, Choose to only install the TSM for Virtual Environments enablement file. As an alternative, you can uninstall the product completely and then install 7.1.1. Let me know if this resolves the issue.

I still have the same issue with the only option being Periodic Full - Full for the backup type in the GUI. I started a backup of a random VM and instead of failing right away it looks like it is backing up something. Does upgrading to 7.1.1 force all backups to do a fresh initial full backup??

FYI, if you do the VME upgrade to 7.1.1.0 first, it will automatically upgrade the B/A client as well.

The main reason is the many failures I get when it does not back up VM Templates (backup of templates is disabled but 7.1.0 still counts these as failures). The issue I ran into is that I update just the Baclient (so far) to 7.1.1 and ran the GUI to do a test backup. Now that data mover only offers Periodic Full - Full as the backup type (not greyed out but no other choice). On the other servers the choice is greyed out and set to Incremental Forever - Incremental.
