the snapshot default location is the disk that is currently backuping up

Client, Windows 2003 TSM 5.4.1.6

I asked this recently and did not see any responses so I'll try again.
This computer is a Domino server that is also running TDP. That backup
seems to be working fine, however the regular client backup fails daily.
I am getting more info as we speak but I'm told this started happening
after the server was migrated from a VM to a physical server. Seems on
VM there were other problems so it was rebuilt on a physical box.
There are a couple of different messages in the error log and I'm trying
to figure out if they are related or not, it looks like they are. The
information I am finding talks to TSM Client Open File Support backup,
and since I have no access to the server I don't know anything more than
what I have been told, which isn't much more than 'it keeps failing'.
I have not found any info specifically dealing with what I am seeing so
I'm wondering if anyone might have some ideas I can pass along to the
folks managing this box.

Re: managing space
One of my biggest problem is that I have 2 mailstore to backup and that's a lot of data. With ultrium2 I need a lot of tape Data changed in 2 days is about 800 -1000 Gb. So, I need a full backup once at 1'th date of the month that will be keepd 2 years and rest a rewritable backup at 1st ,3th and 5th day of week. Roger Deschner a scris: Hello. This is not the way that TSM works. You need to understand the TSM system of "progressive backups", where a file is backed up only once. If it never changes, it is never backed up again. Every day, only the files that change get backed up. The TSM Database keeps track of all this, and allows you to do a complete restore if you need to, getting each file from the tape it was written to. I suggest looking in the manual "TSM Administrator's Guide" which you may be able to find in your own language for easier reading. There is an English copy at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp. You have two separate backup requirements. One is the normal working backups. Instead of weekly overwrite and so on, you need to set these up with 7 inactive copies, keep inactive copies for one month, and use normal TSM progressive backups. You will find that normal TSM progressive backups are MUCH faster than overwriting a full backup every 2 or 7 days, use a LOT less tape, and that it gives you better protection. For fastest restore, these should probably be set up with TSM collocation. Your monthly archive is a separate problem. This should be a TSM archive process, set to be kept for 2 years. This would be a full archive copy. Multiple backups will be written to the same tape, until it is full. The same tape can have backups from different dates on it. This is normal, and it saves tape. The tape will be reused and overwritten automatically when enough of its files have expired that it can be copied to a new one. The default is when it becomes 50% empty. Do not forget that you also need to back up the TSM Database to tape. Hope this helps get you started. It is a different way of working in TSM. You do not have the usual cycle of weekly full backups and daily incremental backups. TSM is very different - you never do a full backup after the first day, because you do not need to. This confuses a lot of people, but once you understand how progressive backups work and how the TSM database keeps track of everything for you, then you will understand how it is really better. Contact your local IBM office and have them order a copy of the TSM Concepts Poster for you. It is free, and it makes of these concepts a lot easier to understand. The poster is IBM publication number SC32-9464-00.

Nowhere in the documentation for this procedure are there the strong advisories which should be there regarding the prolonged unavailability which your site's data recovery facility will experience during the procedure, full perspective on why it might ever be warranted, the risks involved, what messages to expect, how to know whether or not the operation has succeeded, or what to do in case of a problem. Conspicuously missing is any mention that the utilities involved are not mainstream TSM software, but rather salvage utilities - which get little developer attention or testing (as is evident in the frightening APARs I've read on these utilities). To my experienced eye, this was an extraordinarily irresponsible thing for IBM to do, and a recipe for disaster. TSM novices in particular will see this in the manual, think it harmless because IBM offers it, and launch right into it. Unfortunately, the disaster potential has been borne out by customers writing to ADSM-L for help upon discovering the hard way that their TSM database is no longer viable after the operation. (And we don't know how many more customers have suffered silently.) It is high risk stuff, and almost always unwarranted, as customers are typically trying it expecting it to be some panacea for their system. Without an understanding of databases in general and the TSM db specifically, a customer is wandering through an unfamiliar house in the dark in such an undertaking, where the risk of getting hurt is high. The fact is that IBM *DOES NOT* have suitable software for its TSM customers to use to reorganize the TSM database. Salvage utilities, by their nature, are VERY physical in their orientation and operation, with no customer-meaningful feedback during execution and no customer-oriented assurance summary at conclusion. (I speak from experience in having run these utilities - and having seen no enduring performance or space benefit.) And, again, these utilities are not part of the main product and, as "tributary" software, receive little developmental attention. Such software is wholly unsuitable for this purported usage. And the encouraging but unadvising documentation only makes the situation worse. I can't imagine who, at what level in IBM, thought it was a good idea to suggest that salvage utilities be promoted as a means for accomplishing vaguely described goals. It boggles my mind that IBM would encourage their enterprise customers to blindly risk their corporate recovery vehicles, to no well-defined end. I simply do not understand how a technical organization could have decided upon such an ill-conceived and irresponsible course of action. I strongly believe that all documentation for the use of these utilities for TSM db reorganization should be removed from the TSM manuals. If at some time in the future, IBM can provide a true, customer-suitable TSM database reorganization function - AND a full rationale for engaging in such an undertaking - then such may be reintroduced to the documentation set. Thankfully, we have this forum to try to keep customers from getting into trouble when someone suggests actions which we experienced technicians know are just plain bad. To all the novice customers: Get the whole story on a major procedure before considering undertaking it.

How do TSM decide need to copy tape
I had an interesting situation: A volume in primary pool had a read error. I used q vol f=d and found the last date of data written is around January. Since then, I had several good backup on this tape. However, I found on March 26, it had requested to make copy of this tape. Since this tape is in error condition, the copy failed. Do I have good data on the copy tape? How do TSM decide need to copy tape? How reliable I can trust the last read or written date? Thanks for your help.

Just to confuse you, the TSM manual that describes how to set up Netware Cluster aware backups talks about a "cluster group" when they really mean a Netware Partition. The key to getting this to work successfully seems to be to allocate a dsm.opt file on a disk in that partition, and define the partition to TSM as a uniquely named node, that is, do not use the same node name as any of the physical clustered servers. We do this for a couple of clustered disks and all seems to work fine. If you can provide details of how your dsm.opt file is set up I might be able to help more, but one problem is that our standards are that every clustered disk lives in its own Netware partition, and I can't remember how much of our documentation is disk specific and how much is partition specific.

Re: Pre-fetching a restore?
Hi Jim, AFAIK you can do it using 2 methods: 1. Move Nodedata fromstg=CurrentSTG (This will consolidate all of the node's data from across the STG to as few tapes possible) 2. Move Nodedata fromstg=CurrentSTG ToSTG=Diskpool Maxpr= (This will move all the data to your Diskpool, just make sure the diskpool doesn't migrate the data out before the restore) I have found that even if you move the data to 1 or 2 tapes the restore - especially if theres a lot of files - still tapes quite some time.

Here's what I mean: let's say I know that there is going to be some filesystem maintenance on a client. Since we've been burned by that kind of operation in the past, I'd like TSM to prefetch the appropriate data from tape and have it ready to go (on disk) for a restore. Archives would do the trick except that uses the client, potentially during business hours. Backupsets look like they might work but they're kind of rigid... can a backupset be restored followed by restoring the latest incrementals? So I could create a backupset on Friday before the procedure on Saturday, and then be able to restore the incremental we took before beginning the disk operation after that? Am I out of my tree? Do people do this? Thanks, --Jim

You have two choices, The first is to split the hierarchy into multiple node -> diskpool -> tapepool streams. Data is directed into one or the other streams using different managementclasses, which are assigned via client options (options file or client option sets), or you can set up more than one policy domain and have the classes in one domain point to one hierarchy and in the other point to the second, then assign nodes to domains to split the load. The easier option may be to set up your second tape device as the next pool in the hierarchy e.g. diskpool->tape1pool->tape2pool and just as you would from disk to tape you can set tape1 to tape2 migration thresholds, force migrations and so on. A couple of caveats though, you can if i recall correctly, only use one migration process per sequential storage pool, so the tape to tape migration may be slow and tie up drives for along time. Also, when migrating, TSM moves the node that has the most data in this storagepool first, and this may be undesirable depending on the particlular cirumstances on your server. Of course, combinations of these two approaches are also possible.

Towards speedier Exports
Hi, This might be a stupid question, but here goes. Currently our Monthly Exports take about 4 days to complete mostly I think because of the high amount of files involved. Anyways we are thinking of ways to speed this process up a bit and was wondering if we could do this by using Diskpools or disk-based interim measures. Does anyone have an idea regarding this ?

DB Reduction question
Hi all, I've created my DB on a drive that will not be big enough for very much longer, so would like to move it to another drive, preferably without restoring it. I've reduced the db and see the following on one DB-Volume: Volume Name (Copy 1): D:\TSMDATA\DB\D3904869.DBV Copy Status: Sync'd Available Space (MB): 8,640 Allocated Space (MB): 0 Free Space (MB): 8,640 1. Does this mean I can delete this DB-volume? 2. Can I "defrag" a DB-Volume somehow?

What TSM records in occupancy and auditoccupancy is the amount of data that comes in to it from the client. If a client is doing compression, TSM records the amount it receives, which is less than if the client didn't compress the data first. If the clients don't do compression, TSM records that it receives larger amounts of data. Then it sends the data out to tape and the tape drive compresses the data anyway, so the amount TSM tells you the client is using is a lot less than the amount of media you need. If you have a mixture of clients compressing and not compressing, it's real hard to get any numbers that are useful, except your RELATIVE numbers from one month to the next are useful; at least you can tell which domain/client is growing the fastest!

Export node with TDP's ?
1. Does anyone know if export node works with the Exchange TDP? (Win2k3 with Exchange2k3) 2. Instead of running multiple Nodenames on our Cluster servers we are looking for ways of doing monthly backups and keep them for many years while still keeping our weekly backups for only 10 versions. Unfortunately it seems one cannot specify a ManagementClass on the commandline so we cannot use a different MC for this. Any other thoughts?

Reports in TSM
Hi, We are in the process of implementing TSM campus-wide and we require more/better reporting than is currently available to us.

Going from single TSM server to multiple servers
We currently have a TSM server (5.1.7.2) with around 20 clients using LAN-free (storage agents) and a greater number of clients backing up across the LAN. All the clients are Unix. We have two 3584 tape libraries with fibre attached LTO2 drives. We are planning to install a second TSM server (5.3) to backup mainly Windows' clients and will have both LAN and LAN-free clients. I understand that the library manager must be at the highest level of any library client. Currently, the 5.1 server is both a data manager and the library manager (it being the only server ). I am thinking of adding a third TSM server (5.3) which would be ONLY the library manager. The other two servers would be the data managers and library clients. This would give me flexibility in upgrading. Reading the Admin Ref, Admin Guide and the SAN guide, I understand how to set the configuration up from scratch. Questions: 1) how do I go from my current configuration to my desired configuration? 2) how does DRM work in the new configuration?
TDP for Domino Client - Archive log backup question

TDP Setup for Domino - Please Help
Hi all, I'm having trouble with my setup here, please help... My system is: Solaris 8 Lotus Notes R5 I was asked to setup backup for a newly created notes partition. it is the 5th notes partition on this particular server and on the other four partitions, the backup is running smoothly. I'm new to this stuff, so i follow instructions form ibm: "Configuring Data Protection for Domino", on the solaris section.. heres what i did: - run dominstall - make dsm_notes5.opt (option file for this particullar partition) - ask the TSM admin to add my new node - edit dsm.sys (copy param/options of other nodes/partition) well, after all that i seems fine. but if i enter domdsmc commands, iget: ACD5025E PASSWORDACCESS is Generate. Either the stored password is incorrect or there is no stored password. If you do not have a stored password, use of the -ADSMPWD=xxx option will set and store your password. ANS1025E (RC137) Session rejected: Authentication failure so i tried to enter the same command with -ADSMPWD using our password and its OK. it seems that every time i will issue domdsmc command, i will add that option (-ADSMPWD) How will i resolve this? I tried to use "dsmc set password nodename notes_server5", (as root) it seems that "nodename" and "notes_server5" are treated as old and new passwords.. when i was asked to enter userid, i just press enter for the default (which is the systems hostname) and enter the password. I play along with "dsmc set password" command, but still no luck. The WORST thing is, when i tried to query dbbackup on ALL other partitions (domdsmc query dbbackup "mail/m*"), i now get this error: ANS0282E (RC168) Password file is not available. Very bad! I screwed out! Can somebody help me out and point me into the right direction? Thanks in Advance! Whew!, radismus __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Insufficient number of mount points
Hi, I'm very new to TSM and when I'm testing the migration process TSM is showing the following message: ANR1134W Migration terminated for storage pool BACKUPPOOL - insufficient number of mount points available for removable media. TSM is trying to migrate data from a disk to a tape storage pool. The media is a DDS4 tape device and TSM version is 5.2.2-4 in a RedHat 2.1. What could be wrong?

Re: to know volumes of a node
Hello, isnt there a way to simulate an restore and look at the actlog ? But i think it is possible that there Data on all volumes but you dont need all to do a restore. And tomorrow it is on other volumes. The information then isnt very useful. May be your theme is collocation=yes.

Re: backup Informix IDS9.4

backup Informix IDS9.4
Hello, My environment is the following: TSM Server 4.1.4.1 on Windows NT TSM BA client 4.1.2.14 on HPUX11.0 TDP Informix 4.1.2.0 on the HPUX server running Informix IDS 9.4 I know that these versions aren't supported any more, but the customer doesn't want to upgrade. The prior version of Informix was IDS 9.21. The backup went fine. Since the upgrade to IDS9.4, the following statement is occuring a lot in the bar_act.log file: "2003-12-16 22:15:24 24672 24663 Warning: BAR_TIMEOUT Storage Manager Progress may be stalled." No error is found in the activity log at the same time. This message occurs a lot and results in a failure of the backup. The COMMTIMEOUT and IDLETIMEOUT in the TSM server is already increased to 7200 seconds. Is anybody taking a successfull backup of IDS9.4? How do you get rid of this bar_timeout during the backup. I've found already that this BAR_TIMEOUT is hard-coded to 600 seconds in Informix, but I didn't find a workaround for it yet. A level 0 / 1 backup started from the command prompt is sometimes successfull, but if it is started by the TSM scheduler, it is only successfull by exception. Thanks for any help or guidance to solve this problem. Best regards, Kurt Beyers
Backing up 3-10TB Oracle database
To: People with TSM and Oracle DBA experience AIX: 5.2 TSM (server and storage agent): 5.1.7.2 TDP: 5.2.0.0 B/A Client and API: 5.1.6.7 Problem: We will soon have a 3TB DB growing to 6-10TBs in the future. I am trying to determine a backup method for this data. Most (80-90%) of the data never changes. Backups are done Lanfree. I have read the RMAN manuals (and understood some of them ). Would you please critique the following: (Note: the values and 10 are just examples) 1) One-time setup configure backup optimization on Reason: I believe this will cause Oracle to only backup datafiles which have not been backed up "before". I am hoping this also means Oracle will not even read the datafile during backup if it realizes it does not need to back up the datafile. This would greatly reduce the backup time if most of the datafiles are not updated on a regular basis. 2) Do daily backup configure retention policy to recovery window of days backup database Reason: Oracle backs up updated datafiles AND datafiles last backed up BEFORE THE RECOVERY WINDOW. It does this because other backup products can not manage tapes like TSM can. With TSM, there is no need to backup these datafiles again. By setting the recovery window to a large value I am hoping most of the data will not need to be dumped or even read on a daily basis. 3) Daily cleanup configure retention policy to recovery window of 10 days delete obsolete Reason: Oracle will delete data not needed to do a point-in-time for the last 10 days. Basically, this would be old versions of datafiles updated in the last 10 days, archive logs and other "things" I know nothing about . I have NO experience doing DBA functions for Oracle. So, this is probably all just wishful thinking. I can find no references to anyone doing this - so it probably will not work - but I thought I would ask why it does not work. I do not have DBA experience or privileges so I am not able to test this on my own. So, any help would be greatly appreciate. If someone is already doing this and has a method and is willing/able to share... Thanks, Fred
Re: Rapid DB Growth
Hi, maybe you have backed up a lot of files e.g all the lotus databases or some other server. Maybe there have been some fileright changes on a big directory tree. Thats just a small click on the clientside but causes TSM to backup a lot. I think you have to compare logfile from last weekend with this weekend and ask the responsible administrator of the suspicient clients what has happened. michael kindermann wuerzburg/germany Am Montag, 27.

Re: HELP!! . Return code is: 127
hi,
i think you should play with your rm-script.
Why do you use the ' |tee ' ?
What about the user-rights of the script.
The scheduler seem to work right, because tsm tells no error.

TSM Netware 4.11
Hi, A customer has currently TSM server 4.1.2 running on Win2K. This will be upgraded to TSM server 5.2.x He has also Netware 4.11 clients with a TSM client 4.1.2. Can a TSM Netware 4.1.2 client still connect to a TSM 5.2 server (on Win2k)? Any higher TSM clients (as of TSM 4.2.x) do not longer have Netware 4.11 as supported OS, so it would require a OS upgrade first. Or does a TSM 4.2 client still run on NW 4.11? regards, Kurt Beyers
DLT and SDLT drives in Storagetek L180 library
Hi, I'll upgrade a TSM server 4.1.2 to TSM 5.2.1.1 running on Windows 2000 SP2. The library is a Storagetek L180 with 3 DLT7000 drives. Two DLT7000 drives will be replaced with SDLT320 drives. I would like to use the remaining DLT7000 drive to take the daily full TSM database backup. Can this be configured in TSM and how must it be done? How do you tell TSM that the SDLT drives must be used for SDLT tapes and the DLT7000 drive for DLTIV media? In the storage pool definition, the device class is specified but I don't retrieve the device classes in the library / drive / path definitions? The robot arm will be used for both type of drives. Any input how this must be setup is more then welcome. best regards, Kurt Beyers
TSM 5.2, AIX 5.2, EDT
Is anyone using (tried) TSM 5.2 on AIX 5.2 using Lanfree with Gresham's EDT product? Gresham hasn't tested combination yet and won't until November/December timeframe. We are building new TSM server and would like to go with above versions. Any feedback (positive or negative) would be appreciated. Thanks, fred
Storagetek L180
Hello, I've got a TSM server version 4.1.2 running on Windows2000. The library is a Storagetek L180 with three DLT8000 drives. The customer will change two of the drives with SDLT320 drives. 1. Does TSM 4.1.2 support already SDLT320 drives or is an upgrade to TSM 5.2.x required. 2. How about two SDLT drives and 1 DLT drive remaining in the same library. Do you've got to setup a library of mixed media and does this give any advantage? The SDLT can still read DLTIV tapes so I don't really need it. 3. Migration from DLT to SDLT tapes. I would make sure that the new backups goes directly to SDLT tapes and move then the data written on DLT tapes to SDLT tapes. Any guidelines are more then welcome. Thanks in advance, Kurt
Re: Lan-free and ACSLS
What microcode level are you on? We had major problems with 420 and 421. 427 seems to be working OK. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 3:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Lan-free and ACSLS Importance: Low Hello list, Sorry to bother you with this simple question, but I needed a quick response and thought some of you could have been through the same situation: We want to use TSM to do all of our backups. We have a STK 9310 library with 9940B drives. The goal is to move this library to a SAN environment, with a TSM server (on *NIX) controlling the library and a number of lan-free clients doing their backups to the 9940 drives. To accomplish this, is TSM's ACS support enough or is another solution (Gresham's EDT) needed?

incremental / selective backup
Hello, Once more a question concerning the 'always incremental' backup behaviour of TSM. I'm examining a TSM setup done by a thirth party and he has done something strange. He performs a selective full backup in the weekend and the normal incremental backups during the week. But if a file A changes on friday and you take a selective backup in the weekend, won't the file A be included in the incremental backup on monday as well? Or is the incremental backup compared to the latest backup (incremental or selective)? I'll switch to an 'incremental' only backup, as this is how TSM was setup. But still wondering about the incremental backup compared to the selective backup. best regards, Kurt

TSM DB2 compile db2uext2.c
Hi everybody, My environment is the following: TSM server 5.1.6.4 on AIX5.1 32bit DB2 EEE 7.2 on AIX 5.132 bit TSM client 5.1.5.15 and API on AIX5.1 32bit I'm configuring the online backup of DB2 towards TSM. The following variables were added to the .profile of root and the instance owner: DSMI_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.opt DSMI_LOG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin DB2 was stopped and started again to read theses variables and then the program: /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/adsm/dsmapipw was run to set the new TSM password. This was successfull Then I've done the following command to verify the communication between DB2 and TSM as the instance owner: $db2adutl query Retrieving FULL DATABASE BACKUP information. No FULL DATABASE BACKUP images found for BWP Retrieving INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP information. No INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP images found for BWP which says that no backups are found (correct) and which means that the communication between TSM and DB2 is correct. The latests step is that I have to compile the C source code db2uext2.c so that the backup of the logical logs can be done via the userexit program. I'm using the gcc compiler 3.0.1. I use the following options to compile the C source code (to the executable db2uext2 under /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/samples/c): #/usr/local/bin/gcc -I /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/sample /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.a -o /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/samples/c/db2uext2 /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/samples/c/db2uext2.c The output of the compilation is: In file included from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/3.0.1/includ e/sys/signal.h:309, from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/3.0.1/includ e/sys/wait.h:62, from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/3.0.1/includ e/stdlib.h:235, from db2uext2.c:159: /usr/include/sys/context.h:155: parse error before "sigset64_t" /usr/include/sys/context.h:158: parse error before '}' token What does this error in the compilation means?

Re: anyone using ATA disk systems
So how are people using (planning to use) large disk pools (either random or FILE - with or without Sanergy)? Migration's one process per node seems to limit the usefulness of the large disk pool to implement disk to disk backup. A large disk pool appears useful for: 1) Large number of nodes with small to medium size backups (small, medium, large and huge are dependent on your hardware) and you migrate to tape. 2) Disk pool is large enough to contain all primary backup data and you do no migration to tape. A large disk pool does not appear useful for: 1) Small number of nodes with large to huge size backups. TDP nodes would be a good example of this (our case). Is there some work-around for this migration issue?

Re: anyone using ATA disk systems
We have also been looking at using a large diskpool.
It appears migration only uses one tape drive per node.
So, if you use TDP to back up 500GB to disk and then
run migration, it will only use one tape drive to
migrate that 500GB.
Is this true?

Yep - have a maxsize on the 2nd DASD pool. When migration kicks off from
the first DASD pool, the larger files will "skip" over the 2nd DASD pool to
tape. It's just a 2 step nextpool configuration. Plus, if the 2nd DASD
pool gets overfilled, it will migrate to the tape pool, so you won't get an
out of space condition.
Your storagepools would look like this:

Please respond to
"ADSM: Dist Stor

We've been thinking about a huge disk pool also. What we would probably do
is client backup to SCSI disk first then migrates to cheap disk or Tape.
What I really would like is to control which backups go to Tape or cheap
disk based on size. (We get great throughput restoring large files from
Tape - not sure if it is worth keeping them on Disk - small file restores
on
the other hand are killers on Tape.)
You can specify a maxsize parameter on a stgpool that a client will use but
this isn't used by subsequent migrations. This works if I want my client
backing up to tape directly - but I don't want that - not enough tape
drives!
Is there anyway that this could be done? IE. Initially backup everything to
DISK - then basically control migration or Move Data based on size of
files.
Or is this just whacky thinking?!
Thanks,

Hi, I'm sorry for the previous post. I've pressed the send button a bit too early. Suppose I've got the following copy group defined in a management class: Versions Data Exists: 5 Versions Data Deleted: 2 Remain Extra Versions: 30 Remain Only Version: 60 I take a backup of a file A which changes 5 times, so I'll have 5 incremental versions (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 with A5 being the active version). Suppose now that the file A don't change any more (A5 is the current active version) but remains on the server. 30 days after the backup of the version A1, it will expire. The same for the versions A2 and A3. Will the version A4 also expire 30 days after the backup of itand will I only have the version A5 on tape? Or does the expiration of extra versions halts when the number of versions gets equal to the number of 'versions data deleted'? According to the reference guide, the version A4 will expire also 30 days after the backup of it. Thanks for the assistance, Kurt

Your window in which the schedule has to start is 5 days. Decrease it to for instance 5 minutes and it should start in a reasonable time period.

TDP SQL server 2000 cluster
Hi, My environment is: TSM server 5.1.1.6 TSM BA client 5.1.1 TDP SQL 2.2 all running on Windows2000. I've got to backup a SQL server 2000 running in a microsoft cluster. I've installed the TDP on both physical nodes of the cluster (S300SQLN1 and S300SQLN2). The virtual servers are S300SQL02 (runs default on S300SQLN1) and S300SQL03 (runs default on S300SQLN2). On the physical node S300SQLN1, the dsm.opt of the TDP for SQL contains: NODename s300sql02 CLUSTERnode yes COMPRESSIon Off PASSWORDAccessGenerate and the tdpsql.cfg configuration file contains: SQLAUTHentication INTegrated SQLBUFFers 0 SQLBUFFERSIze 1024 SQLSERVer S300SQL02 When I launch the TDP gui with the command: C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\TDPSql\tdpsql /sqlserver=s300sql02 the GUI opens, but when I try to expand the SQL server tree to select the databases, I get the message: 'ACO5424E Could not connect to SQL server; SQL server returned: ' Also when I select in utilities, 'show MS SQL server information' I get SQL Server name: Error Version: 0.0 When I try to launch a full backup from the command line: I find the following error in sqlsched.log: ACO5424E Could not connect to SQL server; SQL server returned: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()). Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 08001) (HRESULT:0x8004) Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here, it is obvious that there is an authentification problem. Thanks in advance, Kurt
bacup primary to copy storage pool on LTO fails
Hi everybody, I’ve got the following environment: TSM server 5.1.1.6 on Windows 2000 SP2 (IBM Netfinity server xSeries 232) IBM LTO library 3583, 2 LTO drives and 18 slots The library is connected with two Adaptec SCSI card 29160 Ultra160 SCSI controllers (driver name: Adaptec, version 6.1.530.201, date 5/14/2002). The first controller goes to one drive and the other controller to the robot arm and the second drive The IBM LTO device drivers are of IBM corporation, version 5.0.3.2 I’ve got a failure when I take a backup of the primary storage pool on LTO to the copy storage pool. The copying stops when large files need to be transferred from tape to tape (large is bigger than 2 GB). A write error is found in the activity log, the tape of the copy storage pool gets the status read-only and another scratch pool is allocated to the copy storage pool. The backup goes on a while until the next large file is met. The errors in the activity log are: 12/20/2002 09:55:43 ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRIVE1 (mt0.0.0.3) (OP=WRITE, Error Number=121, CC=0, KEY=00, ASC=00, ASCQ=00, SENSE=**NONE**, Description=An undetermined error has occurred).

So there is a timeout somewhere during the copy of tape to tape with the large files. Does anybody knows how to solve this problem? How can the timeout be increased? The backup of the clients to the disk storage pool is fine and the flush of the disk storage pool to the LTO pool is without any problems as well. Is this a harware problem or a TSM problem? Any help/input would greatly be appreciated, Kurt
Re: include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
Tivoli Storage Manager evaluates all exclude.dir statements first (regardless of their position within the include-exclude list), and removes the excluded directories and files from the list of objects available for processing. The exclude.dir statements override all include statements that match the pattern.

upgrade TSM client
Hi, What is the proper way to upgrade TSM clients (TSM 3.7.x and TSM 4.1.x clients on Windows and TSM 4.1.x client on HPUX) 1. Just install the new client over the old version 2. Uninstall first the old client. What about the client config files (dsm.opt, inclexcl files and dsm.sys). Remain they intact or copy them first to another location. And what about the TSM client schedular service: just stop it or should it be uninstalled first prior to the uninstall of the BA client). Install now the new version. And if necessary copy the config files again and start the schedular again. Test the connectivity by launching the BA GUI. And the same question for the TDP's of MS SQL and the TDP for Informix on HPUX. The upgrade process for the server is well discussed in the installation guide, but I don't find this information for the B/A client. Thanks, Kurt
private volume returns into sctatch?
Hi everybody, My environment is TSM 5.1.1.6 on a Win2k server. I take every day a full TSM db backup to a private tape volume. The tapes are checked in as private. However, the past week it happened twice that a database tape was allocated in the storage pool for the backup of the clients. If I check the activity log, it says indeed "Scratch volume DB_MON is now defined in storage pool SSL_POOL1." I've checked in the tape with a status private, but somehow it was returned as being scratch. Am I'm missing something here? When I perform the command 'checkin libv ssl2020 search=bulk status=private', the tape is checked in as private and it shouldn't return to a status scratch. Has anybody else experienced the same behaviour? Thanks in advance, Kurt
TDP LAN-FREE Notes MS SQL
Hi, Does the TDP for Notes and MS SQL already allows LAN-free backup by using the Storage Agent? I know that the TDP for Exchange and SAP R/3 can use the Storage Agent, but I don't find the info on the website of IBM. Thanks, Kurt
backup primary stgpool to different library
Hi, I would like to check the following. We will have two identical libraries connected via SAN to the TSM server. The second library will be in a different room than the TSM server and the first library. I would like to have the primary storage pool on the first library and the copy storage pools on the second library. Is it possible to have a backup of a primary storage pool residing in library A to a copy storage pool residing in library B? I guess it has to be possible as the two libraries are identical but I want to be sure. Thanks, Kurt
Compaq MSL5030L1 MSL5026S2 library
Hello *TSM experts, Are the following Compaq/HP (the new HP) libraries supported by TSM on Windows2000: MSL5030L1 with LTO Ultrium drive MSL5026S2 with SDLT drive They are not yet mentioned on the IBM/Tivoli site, but the merge of the libraries from HP/Compaq (towards the Compaq range) is quiet recent, so I think that the IBM site is not yet updated.

OS/400 version 4.2 client
Hi, A client wants to integrate it's AS/400 in it's existing TSM environment (will be upgraded to 5.1.x). I do not have any experience with AS/400 so I want to be sure that the TSM client exists. The operating system is OS/400 version 4.2. Does a TSM client (5.1.x) exists for this OS? On the Tivoli website, they mention OS/400 5.1 and OS/400 as supported platforms for the 5.1.5 client, so I suppose it is fine but I wanna be sure. Thanks, Kurt
diskXtender TSM
Hi, I'm testing the OTG DiskXtender solution integrated in TSM to allow for HSM on Windows systems, but I'm having some problems to configure it. I want to migrate the files directly to tape and that seperate tapes are used for migration and backup. So I've created a new sequential storage pool (diskXtender) and created a new management class (archive) that uses this storage pool as copy destination in the backup copy group. The modified molicy set was validated and activated. I've created in diskXtender a TSM media service and added a TSM media where I've specified the archive management class as destination. The migration of the files however still goes to the diskpool instead to the diskXtender storage pool. If I take a regular backup where I've specified the management class 'archive', the backup goes to the correct storage pool (diskXtender) on tape. What am I'm missing here in the configuration? The wanted storage pool for migration is bound to the management class specified in the configuration of the TSM media service in diskXtender. So why is he still writing to the disk pool? Thanks a lot, Kurt
Re: BCV Backup Procedures
I'll have to do a similar setup in the near future. All the BCV volumes will be mounted on the TSM server and then backed up to the LTO library. In the dsm.opt client file, the different drives (where the BCV's will be mounted) are bound to the correct management class. What happens if one of the mounts of the BCV volumes fails? Then there is a drive specified in the dsm.opt file that doesn't exist. Anybody knows what happens in such a case? Can you mount the BCV volumes as a pre-exec command of the backup and umount them as a post-exec command of the backup? Any sharings in the backup of BCV's through TSM are more than welcome.

Re: upgrade from TSM 4.1.3 to TSM 5.1.5
>I'm not too sure about the whole cleanup backupgroups myself. I >understand that Tivoli has re-done the way the database handles >Windows SYSTEM OBJECTS. So if you don't delete them, then the CLEANUP >BACKUPGROUPS, as I understand, cleans that up for you Is this change in system object storage somewhere discussed. I don't find anything about it anywhere (except in the ADSM discussion group). So either you delete the system objects prior to the upgrade (with the risk that you don't have a backup of the system objects till the next backup of the clients) or either you use the 'cleanup backupgroup' after the upgrade so that the system objects backed up in TSM 4.x can be restored in TSM 5.x. Or thus the 'cleanup backupgroups' just deletes the system objects as well? And in that case, why don't ITMS tells you to delete the system objects prior to the upgrade? Kurt Is this
upgrade from TSM 4.1.3 to TSM 5.1.5
Hi, I'll be upgrading soon from a TSM 4.1.3 server to TSM 5.1.5 server(if I can get the CD's from somewhere or download it) on Windows 2k. I've read the post of Johnn D. Tann where he states that it went fine. Here is a copy/paste of his message: >Here's the conceptual overview of what we did -- obviously, tailor it >for your environment: >1) stop TSM from doing anything (disable sessions, nomigrrecl, disablesched) >2) delete SYSTEM OBJECT (helps speed up cleanup backupgroups later on) >3) full db backup >4) stop TSM Server >5) copy dsmserv.opt, dsmserv.dsk, volhist, devconfig to a safe place >6) install new version from CD >7) patch to 5.1.1.6 (Tivoli website) >8) reboot >9) start TSM (again w/ disable sessions, nomigrrecl, disablesched) >10) cleanup backupgroups >13) restart TSM (sessions enabled, uncomment nomigrrecl/disablesched)"" I'm getting confused about the cleanup backupgroups thing as there seem to be some problems with it. Why do you need to do a 'delete system object' prior to the upgrade and what is the command for it? Johnn says it will speed up the cleanup backupgroup later on the TSM 5.1.5 server. What does this command do (don't find anything in the reference quide)? Are the issues that there were with 'cleanup backupgroup' (it was running as a foreground process and took forever) fixed in 5.1.5? Any other issues I might expect? Thanks, Kurt

archiving with different management classes
Hi, I've got to take every month a monthly archive and once a year a yearly archive. Of course the protection of the latter archive is longer. The default management class has the correct archive copy group for the monthly archive (management class MGMT_SWS). I've created a second management class (MGMT2_SWS) for the yearly archive. The default dsm.opt client options file binds the archive to the correct management class for the monthly archive. I've created a second client options file dsm2.opt with an include.archive statement towards the management class MGMT2_SWS If I launch the archive from the command prompt as: dsmc archive -optfile=c:\temp\dsm2.opt -subdir=yes c:\*.* d:\*.* the archive of the files is indeed done with the management class MGMT2_SWS If I specify a schedule: Policy Domain Name POL_SWS Schedule Name TEST4 Description - Action ARCHIVE Options -optfile=c:\temp\dsm2.opt -subdir=yes Objects c:\hp\* d:\windows\winzip81\* the archives are bind towards the management class MGMT_SWS and not towards the management class MGMT2_SWS. The scheduler is bound to the dsm.opt file but if I specify another client options file in the options, this should override the default settings. Am I missing something? Kurt
