Re: query auditocc question

[Paul_Dudley]

To all,

It appears that I have solved this problem. The issue was that the "expire 
inventory" command was not running to completion.
It was being run with a duration parameter which did not allow it to complete 
the expire inventory of all nodes.

Thanks & Regards
Paul

Thanks. I ran this command and it ran successfully and provided me with a list 
of totals.
However they are a lot higher than what is reported by my query auditocc 
command.
Does it total just the primary storage or all storage pools?

I am just interested in primary storage to keep track of storage used as we 
have the unified terabyte licensing for TSM.

Thanks & Regards
Paul

Perhaps the following query would give you better data:

select node_name,sum(reporting_mb) as "TOTAL_OCCUPANCY" from occupancy group by 
node_name

To keep track of our primary storage usage, on a weekly basis I run the 
following command:



query auditocc pooltype=primary



For one of the nodes - an SQL server - it is reporting that the backup storage 
used is 7Tb.

However knowing the size of the databases on that server and the number of 
copies of each backup we keep, I believe that to be incorrect.

I started the DP for SQL client on that server, clicked on Restore Data, and 
then selected all backups (both active and inactive).

I then added up the size of each backup (both active and inactive) and it added 
up to 2.2Tb.



How could there be such a huge difference between each total?





Thanks & Regards

Re: Backup VE via Resource Pool

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello Marcel and Bas

Thank you for the information

I  will try with the option VMFOLDER=, 

It's a possibility to do it in command line for testing (before adding it at 
dsm.opt)

BACKUP VM ..

 I did not find the correct syntax ?

T.I.A Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

There is no option (yet) to directly backup a VMware Resource Pool. If you have 
a look at the dsmc backup command, there are following options for VMware 
backup:
Ref:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_cmd_bkupvm.html
and :
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_opt_domainvmfull.html

The domain level parameters are:
all-vm
all-windows
vmhost
vmfolder
vmhostcluster
vmdatastore

No vmresourcepool option here :-(. You could create an RFE for that.

I manage a lot of backups using the VMFOLDER option, i.e. move a VM into a 
dedicated VMware folder and it gets backupped by that datamover.
A workaround that we have discussed in last Dutch Spectrum Protect User group 
is to create a script to list the VMs and create a backup script from that list.
This requires scheduled (manual or automated) regeneration of the scripts, so I 
opted for the VMFOLDER option as this is easy manageable, also by the VMware 
administrators. We have found out that nested VMfolders also work, so you can 
have multiple folders with the same name in your folder structure, the TDP for 
VE picks up all those VMs in the folders.

Re: Backup VE via Resource Pool

[Bas van Kampen]

Robert,

I think this isn't possible with TSMVE (at least not with version 7.1.4). I've 
build a custom (python) script to do this. Which is working with some caveats.

We decided to back up our VMware environment with TSM VE 7.1.6 via Resource

Did you have example what line I need to add in  adequate dsm.opt  to configure
