Re: behavior of existing data when excluding a vm

[Abbott, Joseph]

I usually do a Backup Set of the node. 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGSG7_7.1.0/com.ibm.itsm.srv.doc/c_mngdata_mkclibckupsets.html

I do this for all legal holds. And it's a standalone set of tape or some other 
media type.

External Email - Use Caution

I don't know how to freeze existing backups.  I rename the server in vCenter 
and run a backup using the new name.  Rename to original after the backup.  
This will preserve the new backup.

Tsm server v7.1.7.1, client 7.1.6.4.
Unsure of TSM for VE version.
I need to freeze the backups of a VM in their current state as of today.  I can 
exclude the vm from backup.  However, will this act like an exclude and cause 
all backups to become inactive?
If so, how to stop backing up a VM but leave its existing backups alone.

Re: How to backup ISILON storage

[Abbott, Joseph]

I agree with Remco 100%.
If you can stay away from NDMP.
We have a large Isilon environment which we backup with TSM/NDMP. It run very 
long, is absolutely horrific for restores.
We are making the switch over to Isilon snapshots and replication both native 
to the Isilon. These solutions outperform TSM/NDMP tenfold.

I don’t like TSM NDMP one bit, and I guess it’s no worse than any of the other 
backup vendors’ implementations, because NDMP is just what it is, and that is 
not much. I would seriously look into some form of async replication native to 
ISILON, something like netapp's snapvault, first. Yes that requires a a huge 
pile of disk just for backup, but it will probably be worth it. Even if the 
investment is quite high. Don’t forget with TSM terabyte licenses you’ll be 
paying a lot (a huge lot!) to IBM for your NDMP backups.

You can basically NDMP via LAN and via SAN. The latter has the disadvantage 
that the TSM server running the backups must be the library manager for those 
tape drives. I would have loved to see that IBM would make NDMP and Library 
Managers play nice, but alas… NDMP via LAN allows you to use normal disk and 
tape based storage pools, via SAN you’ll need to create a separate tape pool in 
the right format (ndmpdump). Also, you can’t run copy storage pool on those is 
you use SAN. On 8.1.2 and higher (if you dare go there) you could even use 
directory containers.

The current customer has NAS systems which share directories (called virtual 
volumes) rather than separate file systems. To be able to make a more granular 
backup/restore they use virtualfsmappings in TSM. This works surprisingly well. 
Now a huge NAS file system becomes (usually) a far more manageable directory. 
So not 200 TB in one huge lump to backup, but mostly directories of under 1 TB. 
The backups are slow, but on average manageable. We have a few exceptions that 
we backup via the share because they are just too big to manage via NDMP. 
Problem with NDMP is that if (with TSM 8.1) a single transaction spans more 
than 90% of the active log, the transaction gets killed by TSM. This is on 
average a good thing, but that makes the combination of a busy TSM server with 
loads of files and NDMP not a happy one, at least not for those few huge 
virtual volumes.

So basically:

- look at other solutions (snapvault or whatever it’s called for your NAS)
- then again look at those solutions
- virtualfsmappings might make things more manageable if you decide to go with 
TSM anyway
- SAN and LAN both have disadvantages, neither one is perfect
- maybe a dedicated TSM instance to avoid issues with long running ndmp dumps

Did your testing involve replication? AFAIK nothing should be changing/updating 
the dsm.opt file except for replication so that is my only clue. Since we first 
started trying to use replication with 6.3.5, there have been many fixes to 
numerous problems with replication - many of which we experienced to the point 
we gave up on replication until we upgraded everything to 7.1.x

Folks,

Wondering if anyone has seen this issue. The first time I saw it a few months 
back, I ignored it as a one-time issue.  But it just happened again so I am 
digging deeper.

This time (don't recall what the OS/client version was for the first
incident) it is a Windows 2008 R2 server with BA 7.1.0.0 (yes I know - 
0-releases are always problematic).

OS tech noticed the backups failing and went to investigate.  Trying to start 
the CLI - it hung.  Checked the dsm.opt file and found it blank/empty? It has 
been backing up for a long, long time with no reason to make any changes to the 
dsm.opt file.

AFAIK, the only thing that should be mucking with the dsm.opt file, aside from 
manually editing it, is replication.  So, is this replication related or a 
client bug?  Did some quick Googling without any luck on a known problem/fix.

Re: How to setup dedicated tape drives for storage agent

[Abbott, Joseph]

Yes this will work and we use it now with our LanFree client.

My suggestion would be to create two libraries rather than splitting the drives 
in half.
Each library with 32 drives would work.

Ron is correct in suggesting the use of a library manager configuration. This 
works best for us.

I would also ask the same question as Ron. Why so many drives for the LAN free 
client?
We move 25TB per night with 15 drives on a data domain 890.

Re: Slow client backup

[Abbott, Joseph]

The only thing that has worked for us in these types of cases is to run a
selective backup rather than an incremental.
This way TSM just backs up every file rather than going through the examination
process.
This may or may not help you as I don't know the specifics of your systems.

You are right, we eventually got an agreement for a sub-processor

eventually won the concession after much negotiating.  And I am sure
part of the reason we got the concession is because of the size customer
we are; a smaller customer has no leverage for expecting special

IBM does have a sub-capacity license process. You need to talk to your
sales rep to find out the details.
Basically, if you are only using 2 cpus for Oracle out of 128 total cpus
available, then you only have to pay for 2 DB licenses. Obvioulsy other
LPARs are probably servicing other data requirements which will need
backing up, but you don't have to pay for the lot if you don't use the
lot.

And remember, too, that the PVU thing contemplated something like a DB2
license. Perhaps you had two or three systems that would run DB2. It did
not contemplate something like TSM where EVERY system in the environment
would have the software running. Keeping track of a couple of systems
and
their various processor/core/PVU stuff is relatively simple. Keeping
track
of that same thing across several hundred (never mind your case!) is
very
difficult.

The one size fits all mentality of Tivoli software clearly missed the
mark with TSM.

I am implementing the TDP for Exchange. We have it installed and did a
manual backup successfully. When we try to reetore a mailbox, it forces us
to use a Recovery Storage Group in Exchange as the target. We chose a
specific email in the filter section and were expecting a restre of what we
were searching for. Instead, the restore seems to be building a whole new
database, It wa sup to 14GB when we stopped it. It seem like nonsense to
restore the whole storage group just to restore a single mail box. Is this
required.

TSM is not a good choice for this.

Your best bet is to burn the files to a CD or DVD, or us tar to build a tape
OUTSIDE of TSM. And even then, if there is any binary data and the two systems
are different platforms the results will be unpredictable (but usually not

Re: Library manager/library conundrum

Correct and there shouldn't be any paths on the client systems. Only the library
manager needs the paths.
You need to setup paths from the library manager to itself and then to the other
library clients.
We are using this setup with 19 TSM instances accessing a TS3500 library and two
library managers.

Double check your element numbers and paths to the drives.  Make sure
you
have a path defined for each drive to each library-client server.

There are no drive definitions for the remote library in the library
client, and therefore no element numbers or paths to check. There is a
path in the library manager that connects each of the tape drives to the
library client, and as I mentioned there is obviously some communication
going on.

Here's another question that has been asked...

When a library client sends migrated data from disk to a tape drive
managed by a library manager, does the data flow on fiber from the
client to the tape drive directly, or does it flow across the LAN from
the client to the manager, and then on fiber from the manager to the
tape drive?

Re: Library manager/library conundrum

[Abbott, Joseph]

You hit it right on the head.
The library manager has to be the higher of the software code levels.

Here's the deal...

The physical device tape0, as seen by the library manager, has the
devicename mt1.0.0.3. The same tape drive on the client, however, sees
the tape drive as devicename mt3.0.0.5. (We can tell this by the tape
drive serial numbers being reported.)

We've deleted all but one library manager-defined path from the library
client to the tape drive, and we've tried both mt definitions in the
library manager's path statements--the one from the library manager and
the one from the library client. In both cases, the manager changes
ownership of the library volume, mounts the volume in the drive, and
then the client waits and waits, and finally times out with the ANR8779E
error message.

We're stumped. The only thing that I can think is that the library
client is at 5.4.2 and the library server is at 5.4.1.

 If you're SAN connected, Q SAN on the client supplies the device name
 for each path.

 This may be a clue, the drive is accessed directly by the library
 client. All the library server does is verify the label. After that,
 the device is opened by the client. This is the reason the paths
 (defined on the library server) must be correct for the library
 client. So if a drive called drive4 is \\.\tape4 on the server and \\.
 \tape1 on the client, there must be a path, defined on the server,
 from your client to drive4 via device \\.\tape1
