Re: ANS1512E Scheduled event '1ST_NT_OFFSITE' failed. Return code = 12.
According to the client manual return code 12 means: The operation completed with at least one error message (except for error messages for skipped files). For scheduled events, the status will be Failed. Review the dsmerror.log file (and dsmsched.log file for scheduled events) to determine what error messages were issued and to assess their impact on the operation. As a general rule, this return code means that the error was severe enough to prevent the successful completion of the operation. For example, an error that prevents an entire file system from being processed yields return code 12. When a file is not found the operation yields return code 12.

An invalid path was used on Netware
Hi all, Sometimes the incremental backup of one of our customers Netware clients is aborted. There is a summary in the dsmsched.log of how many files are backed up etc. At exactly the same second an error is logged in dsmerror.log: 12/01/2007 16:20:02 (TSAFS.NLM 6.51.5 291) An invalid path was used. 12/01/2007 16:20:02 (TSAFS.NLM 6.51.5 291) An invalid path was used.

Re: RAC backups
I spent the last two months installing TSM on a two node RAC cluster (Linux, not AIX). It was a very unpleasant experience. There is very little documentation (at least that I could find). I can back up now and a few weeks ago I had to restore a corrupt datafile. For some reason it took RMAN hours and I had to copy archived logs manually from one node to another node but in the end the datafile was restored. There is one advise I can give you: Make sure your archived logs (if you're running your database in archive log mode) are on some kind of shared storage like ASM so all the nodes can access them.

Re: How are tapes declared full
When a tape has still space on it left it's state is Filling. When there is no more space left it is set to Full. Then files stored on the tape will expire according to your policies. These expired files will cause 'gaps' and the % utilised will drop until it reaches the reclamation threshold. During this process the tape will remain Full until it gets reclaimed. The estimated capacity relflects how many data TSM was able to store on the tape. Your tape drives probably compress the data before it is written to tape. Some data can be more easily compressed than other data. That is why there is a difference. Regards, Alexander On Thursday 19 April 2007 11:52, Angus Macdonald wrote: Doing some maintenance, I notice that most of my LTO2 storage pool tapes are designated as full, although their % utilised is sometimes less that 60%.

Re: List of archives
Hi, Something like this should provide a list of all archives: select node_name,description from archives group by node_name,description But like you said it will probably take a very long time to complete. Or bring down your server. (I've seen that happen with heavy sql queries in TSM). It seems that the client has a far more efficient way of querying the server than the sql interface has. You might consider to leave out the 'group by' clause and redirect the output to a text file. Then import this file into a database like Oracle or DB2 and do your query there. The text file can get pretty big though (depending on how many files have been archived).

Re: ANR2579E backup fails
According to the manual this is the meaning of return code 4: The operation completed successfully, but some files were not processed. There were no other errors or warnings. This return code is very common. Files are not processed for various reasons. The most common reasons are: The file is in an exclude list. The file was in use by another application and could not be accessed by the client. The file changed during the operation to an extent prohibited by the copy serialization attribute. See Copy serialization. Maybe you should check dsmsched.log and/or dsmerror.log on your client to see which files aren't backed up and why.

Re: missed backups oddity
Maybe you could try running a shell script that does a 'query session' every 5 minutes and redirects the output to a log file. That should tell you where all the sessions come from. Something like this should work: --- CUT HERE --- #!/usr/bin/ksh while true do /usr/bin/dsmadmc -id=xxx -pass=xxx q ses mylogfile sleep 300 done ---CUT HERE--- Regards, Alexander Alexander Verkooijen Senior Systems Programmer High Performance Computing SARA Computing Networking Services -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gill, Geoffrey L. Sent: Friday, September 01, 2006 6:01 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: missed backups oddity The background on this is that this server, AIX 5.3, TSM 5.2.6.1, has been running smoothly forever. Max Scheduled sessions is set to 64, total number of servers that back up to this guy is only 36. So needless to say I would never expect to see missed backups related to servers missing their backup window because all the scheduled sessions are in use, especially since resourceutilization is set to 1. Yet last night there was a dozen or so missed backups for just that. What I also see in the activity log are issues with servers as they complete their backups trying to reconnect to get the next schedule, no scheduled sessions are currently available. Is there anything I may have missed that would shed some light on this?

Journal backup hangs on Windows 2003
Hello, I've searched the list archives and the APARs and found several postings about problems with the journal based backups but none that I could find resembled my problem. So I humbly turn to this list for advise. One of our customers runs a 5.3.3.0 client on Windows 2003 Our server is 5.3.3.1 on AIX 5.2.0.0 We advised the customer to do journal based backups to decrease the time the backup takes. Unfortunately the client hangs when it tries to do a backup. dsmcad contacts the server and retrieves the time the backup is scheduled. It even starts dsmc at the appropriate time but dsmc just sits there and after 75 minutes the server severs the connection because it doesn't receive any traffic from the client. On the client however the scheduler keeps running until it is terminated by the customer. When the customer tries to stop the TSM Journal Service it hangs (does not stop) There is a strange error in the dsmerror.log that pops up several times per day: 07/18/2006 09:39:50 ANS5250E An unexpected error was encountered. TSM function name : VssRequestor::QueryStatus TSM function : pAsync-QueryStatus() for caller 'VssQuerySystemWriters()' returned VSS_E_WRITER_INFRASTRUCTURE TSM return code : -1 TSM file : vssreq.cpp (8270) My knowledge of Windows is virtually non existent so I have no idea what this is about. The dsmsched.log is silent. Any ideas anyone? Regards, Alexander Alexander Verkooijen Senior Systems Programmer High Performance Computing SARA Computing Networking Services

The poster of the original question had a TSM server which was utilizing default timeout values - which are far too low for real world conditions, where clients have to spend a lot of time rummaging around in file systems seeking backup candidates before they next interact with the server. The server may deem such sessions hopeless and terminate them from its end, where sometimes the client doesn't get the message that the session was cut off. In all hang situations, you need to dig in and extract the details: most hang situations are not hangs at all, but peer situations where one side is busy and the other is waiting for it.

Something that has been bugging me for a while. The query session
command shows all of the tsm sessions and according to the
help you can
narrow this down to a specific session using query session
'sesnum'. But
I can never get this to work. The output I see looks like the example
below and the session number column format is not what it
looks like in
the docs:-

How can I run a detailed query command for just this session?

GFS on RedHat anybody?
Hello, (Can't find this in the archives or on Richard's page.) One of customers is planning to use the Global File System (GFS) on RedHat and asked us wheter the TSM client supports this. I can't find GFS in the list of supported file systems but the manual states that the virtualmountpoint option can be used for all other file systems. I seem to remember that we used virtualmountpoint to back up EXT3 file systems back in the days it wasn't supported but does this line mean that this trick will also work for GFS? Does anybody have any expirience with the GFS/TSM combination? Best regards, Alexander Alexander Verkooijen Senior Systems Programmer High Performance Computing SARA Computing Networking Services
Re: Script
Hi Eric,
Since TSM scripting doesn't support user defined variables
I don't think it is possible to do want you want in a
server script.
A very ugly way to do it would be to redirect the
output of
select 'cancel proc ',process_num from processes where process='Space
Reclamation'
to a file and then call that file as a macro. But then you
would still need some kind of filter to strip the header
from the output of the sql query.

Alexander

Hi *SM-ers!
I'm trying to create a script which does the following:
1) query the server for any running reclamation
2) retrieves the process id for this reclamation
3) cancels the reclamation
4) starts a backup storage pool
Can this be done in one script? If so, how do I put the
process id in a
variable which I can parse to the cancel command?
Thank you very much for any reply in advance!!

Re: Select to find what tape a single file is on
-Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TSM_User Sent: donderdag 9 september 2004 3:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Select to find what tape a single file is on I know that when I use the TSM GUI to select a single file for restore TSM determines what tape needs to be mounted in seconds. So, where is the table that helps link the file requested for restore to the tape volume it is on. The TSM client uses the real tables in the TSM database. As you say, these tables obviously contain the information that is needed to determine on which tape a specific version of a file resides otherwise the client wouldn't be able to do it's jobs. Unfortunately the SQL interface doesn't provide access to the real database tables but to 'pseudo tables' which don't contain the information you seek.

Re: select statement - filespaces
Hi, Unless I misunderstand your question you are asking for three separate lists so I think the only way to do it is using three sql queries. Something like this perhaps: select node_name from nodes select node_name - as Node name, - filespace_name as File space name, - sum(physical_mb) as MB's - from occupancy - group by node_name,filespace_name select node_name - as Node name, - sum(physical_mb) as MB's - from occupancy - group by node_name Please note that these queries will list *all* your nodes. Depending on how many nodes you have registered the resulting lists may be quit long. And also note that the amount of data reported is the sum of all data on all storage pools for that node/filespace, including copy pools. You may or may not want this. We usually prefer to know only the amount of data that is stored in the primary pools because we use that number for creating invoices. I hope this helps.

Linux restore hangs in IdleW
Hello, (Searched the list archives and mr. Sim's page, even read the manual) We are seeing weird behaviour of the 5.2.3.1 client on several Red Hat 7.3 systems. (yes, we know 7.3 is very old but we can't upgrade for political reasons). When we try to restore a file that resides on a tape that is not mounted in a drive the server starts to mount the tape. The restore session goes into MediaWait. The client reports that it is waiting for a media mount. After a minute or so the tape is mounted and the session goes into Run. This lasts for about another minute. I guess the tape is being positioned. Q ses doesn't show any data going to the client. The the session goes to IdleW and stays that way. The status of the tape is IN USE until after 13 minutes the session dismounts the tape and immediately terminates itself (connection severed). Our CommTimeOut is 15 minutes btw. At this point the client still reports it is waiting for a mediamount until. Of course no data has been restored. We have seen client hang for hours like this until we killed them manually. Because of the old RedHat level we can't go to IBM for support and we can't reproduce this problem on other systems with more up-to-date OS levels. And no, we really can't upgrade these systems. This is clearly some kind of timing problem because when the tape is in a drive (in IDLE state) before the restore is started or when the data is on a disk volume instead of a tape the restore completes without any problem. It looks like the 60 second wait for the mount is causing this behaviour. Has anybody seens this before? (5.2.3.0 server on AIX 5.2, 3494 library with 3590E drives) Thanks, Alexander

Is there a way to query a list of tapes needed for a given restore prior to doing the restore such that you can ensure all those tapes are in your library prior to kicking off the restore? I think the normal mode of operation is if you were to do a restore that involved several tapes and some tapes were in your library and some were not, it would move along fine with those tapes it has but the restore would halt and issue a mount request for those that aren't in the library. I'd like to avoid that mount request and just ensure all the tapes are in the library beforehand. Gerald This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.

Hanging Windows clients
Hi all, One of our customers has a mix of Windows 2000 and Linux clients. The Windows clients run the scheduler service. The service on these clients has to be restarted every few days because the client hangs in the middle of a scheduled incremetal backup. The dsmsched.log gives no clue to what is wrong: 11/21/2003 02:24:51 Normal File--20,240 \\bla\c$\WINNT\VMMREG32.DLL [Sent] 11/21/2003 02:24:51 Normal File-- 256,192 \\bla\c$\WINNT\WINHELP.EXE [Sent] 11/21/2003 02:24:51 Normal File-- 269,584 \\bla\c$\WINNT\WINHLP32.EXE [Sent] 11/21/2003 02:24:51 Normal File-- 193,296 \\bla\c$\WINNT\WINREP.EXE [Sent] And then it stops. (The service is still running but it doesn't do anything until it is restarted) After an hour the session times out and the server terminates it. The activity log on the server also contains no messages about this client other than the time out message. The dsmerror.log contains no messages for the time period the client stopped backing up. Only the Windows clients have this problem, the Linux clients are unaffected. The clients are mainly 5.1.5.0 but I asked the customer to upgrade one of his clients to 5.2.0.6 He did, but this client shows the same behavior. The clients do not use the journal engine service or anti-virus software. Our server is at Version 5, Release 2, Level 1.2 on AIX 5.1 We have other customers running Windows clients, none of them has this problem. I'm probably going to call IBM support about this but I was wondering if anybody here has any idea what is going wrong.

Re: Hanging Windows clients
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly try it as soon as I am certain that installing the latest client doesn't solve the problem. Yes, I know, in my original messsage I wrote that the 5.2.0.6 also hung during a backup but I just got a call from the customer. It turns out that he made a mistake and that his only 5.2.0.6 client doesn't have the problem (yet).

Re: server out of data storage space
Jack, Do you have client side compression switched on on these clients? We sometimes get this message when compression is on but compressalways is yes (default).

Because the data is unknown, a comparison involving a null column evaluates to an unknown condition, which is treated as false.

To test for null columns, use the is null or is not null operators, like this: tsm: STORMANselect node_name,contact from nodes where node_name like 'BLAAT%' and (contact not like 'Alex%' or contact is null) NODE_NAME CONTACT -- -- BLAAT2 tsm: STORMAN Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

I guess the best way of being sure that a schedule runs within a certain time window is to set the duration on the server and have the client set to prompted. Is there any way to do this with the polling method? Or if I use polling, does the client simply contact the server every XX hours? In polling mode the client contacts the server every X number of hours to get the start of it's backup window. You can define X with the QUERYSCHedperiod parameter in dsm.sys. Regards, Alexander
[no subject]
Michelle, Maybe I'm missing something, but according to the manual a backupset only contains the active data of a node: (From help generate backupset) The server creates copies of active versions of a client's backed up objects that are within the one or more file spaces specified with this command, and consolidates them onto sequential media.

Client doesn't ask for password when IP address changes?
Hello, I'm using TSM (5.1.1.0 client) on Windows XP (SP 1) to backup my PC at home. This weekend I switched from one ISP (cable) to another ISP (ADSL). This of course changed the IP address and hostname of my PC completely. The change of IP adress is clearly visible in the activity log on the server when I search for the Session started for node BLAHBLA message. When I started the backup client after the change it never asked me for the node's password, it just logged on to the server and allowed me to start a backup. I'm absolutely sure of this because I've forgotten the password so when it *had* asked me for I wouldn't have known it. I can't explain this behaviour. Shouldn't the client prompt for a password when I change to IP address or hostname?

Re: Client doesn't ask for password when IP address changes?
Hi, Our server doesn't allow open registration. My dsm.opt contains the nodename option and the nodename hasn't changed. So that must be why the client didn't ask for the password. I always thought that changing the IP address/hostname would cause the client to prompt for the password again regardless whether the nodename had changed or not. Thanks for explaining this to me. Best regards, Alexander If you had no nodename option in dsm.opt your hostname acts as nodename. Thus on hostname (not IP address) change you have to be authenticated as new node. If nodename option is defined it is used for password matching not the hostname. Either you have nodename option (and nodename/generated password pair is still valid) or your server is on open registration. Also you might changed you Internet address but your VPN address is the same. Please, please, do not tell me your TSM is open to Internet and your nodename/password is going without VPN!

Volumes inaccessible after upgrade
Hello, I've already submitted a PMR for this but I was curious if anyone has seen this before. On monday we upgraded our TSM server (AIX 4.3.3) to 4.2.2.10 and the TSM client (on the same system) to 4.2.2.7 Since that time we get bursts of these messages in our activity log: 09/13/02 12:08:05 ANR0406I Session 13735 started for node BASKET-C (AIX) (Tcp/Ip 127.0.0.1(62905)). 09/13/02 12:08:05 ANR0542W Retrieve or restore failed for session 13735 for node BASKET-C (AIX) - storage media inaccessible. 09/13/02 12:08:06 ANR0403I Session 13735 ended for node BASKET-C (AIX). The help text for ANR0542W suggests to vary an off-line volume on-line but we don't have any off-line volumes. Tivoli already suggested to look for unavailable volumes but we don't have those either. The work-around for this problem is to kill dsmrecalld and start it again. Sometimes the error message stays away for a whole day, sometimes for only a few minutes. If we don't kill and restart dsmrecalld the messages just keep coming at a speed of 16 per minute.

Or you can try this on the server: select filespace_name,hl_name,ll_name - from backups - where node_name='MYNODE' - and days(current_date)-1 days(backup_date) You'll may have to change the '-1' in the last line if the interval between your backups is more than 1 day.

Client doesn't discard file after a failed restore

The file systems I'm restoring contain several files 1 GB When the client on node B tries to restore such a file it produces an error message: ANS4025E Error processing '/blah/blah/blah': file exceeds user or system file limit At this point I would expect the client to discard the part of the file it has already restored. But it doesn't! It just leaves the first 1 GB on the file on disk. So when I had adjusted the maximum file size on node B and did a new restore with the -replace and -ifnewer flags it skipped those incomplete files because they already existed. I had to go through the activity log to search for the ANS4025E's and manually restore every file 1 GB. I don't understand why the client doesn't discard incomplete files...
