Re: Unable to backup SP database after 8.1.5 server/8.1.4 client update

Here's what I did: Server OS: Windows 2012 R2 1. Update client to 8.1.4 on the SP server machine itself (I back up some network shares that are mounted on the SP server for backup purposes 2. Update server to 8.1.5 After the server update to 8.1.5, the SP database backup process fails. I get an RC=30 in the db2diag and a ANR4588E in the actlog. Support has pointed me to this technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22009265 but the dsmsutil.exe referenced in the note DOES NOT EXIST, so I'm not able to run the update command to re-set the node password for the DB backup node. So I'm pretty stuck, and support hasn't been much help over the past four days. I'm starting to get antsy that these SP servers haven't had DB backups and I'm going to have to start deleting archive logs to keep them running, which doesn't make me happy. I've tried uninstalling the client, following the technote as closely as I could, and using the dsmcutil.exe provided with the client to try and reset the DB backup node, but nothing has worked so far to correct this issue. Anyone else run into this problem? __ Matthew McGeary Senior Technical Specialist Information Technology T: (306) 933-8921 www.nutrien.com<http://www.nutrien.com> For more information on Nutrien's email policy or to unsubscribe, click here: https://www.nutrien.com/important-notice Pour plus de renseignements sur la politique de courrier ?lectronique d'Nutrien ou pour vous d?sabonnez, cliquez ici : https://www.nutrien.com/avis-important

Re: manually set repltcpserveraddress for clients from server
You should use the SET FAILOVERHLADDRESS on the target server. Then the primary server will pick this up and distribute the new address to the clients (after the first replication I guess). If you have symmetric replication you set it on both servers, but each server should specify its own public address. /Anders -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Stefan Folkerts Sent: den 8 augusti 2017 14:54 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] manually set repltcpserveraddress for clients from server Great, there is a solution!

Re: TSM Server on CentOS Linux
Regarding TSM server on Centos, or other unsupported platforms For a backup installation you need: - hardware for a small fortune - software licenses for a big fortune - Installation and configuration work - a lot of hours - Education which costs money The goal with the project is to be able to get the data back if it is lost. It is essential that you have support when you can't get the data back because of technical (or human) problems. The cost of a RedHat license is a very, very small fraction of the overall cost of the project. You can perhaps save 1% of the project cost by using a "free" operating system. The downside is that you are on your own when "the sh*t hits the fan". I personally think it is very well spent money to buy a RedHat license for the TSM server. If you are doing lab/test/training then Centos works fine, but a production environment should have a supported platform.

Re: 3 Generation (GFS) Backup Schedule setup using TSM
Hi, Question: 19 copies of the "same" data. Each copy 500GB. Tape library used a storage. Would like a cheaper solution. Let's start:19*500GB is 9½TB. Disk drives are up to 6TB today. The data will fit in 2 disk drives - without using dedup and compression. Apply dedup and compression and the data will probably fit in a USB memory stick (1TB). The obvious answer is: This is 2016 and tape is dead since many years! If you skip the tape library and use to modern design with container pools you will save a lot of money. Both on the hardware (tape libs are not cheap) and most important on the cost of licenses. /Anders Räntilä

Re: TSM server 7.1.0.100 patch - readme MIA?
This patch is the first opportunity to test an upgrade using the new installation manager. I did two upgrades today and the results are: TSM 7.1 Windows 200R2 was upgraded using the Installation Manager GUI. No problems. TSM 7.1 Linux was upgraded using console (text) mode. The installation manager could not upgrade the instance "tsminst1". It asked me for a password, but did not accept it. After some debugging I found that installation manager is trying to do "ssh tsminst1@localhost" and login using the password given by me. The password was correct, but sshd was configured to refuse logins using passwords (I only allow login using public/private keys). After I changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow password logins (PasswordAuthentication yes) the upgrade went smooth. What bugs are fixed in this update? I have no clue!

Re: Client Autodeployment
I have tried the autodeploy feature and like it. Yes it has been problems, mostly because IBM failed to keep the ftp-server compatible with the autodeploy feature (wrong case in a file name and later a corrupt xml-file), but now it works. I recommend everyone to try it. It is easy to setup and use from admin center. You can use it from the cmd-line, but I would start with the admin center. The wizard will help you to get every detail right the first time. Later you can "steal" the commands that admin center is using and do it from cmd-line. Actually it is more or less standard TSM that upgrades TSM. Import node, Scripts, dmsc retrieve, schedules and reports to actlog. There is nothing really magic. Just pure TSM.

When TSM 6.1 was released IBM said the DB would grow approx. 3x (300%), but that doesn't seem to be the case today. Of course if you start adding features like dedup the DB will grow. I have one installation that was 40GB in 5.5 and today is around 800GB.

I'm not sure I got your question right, but... > I found out with some experimentation that >TSM would take twice as long to backup a 60 GB compressed file as >a 60 GB uncompressed file. - A LTO2 tape drive can write data at 40Mbyte/s. - A LTO2 tape drive can do hardware compression. Assume it does 2to1. If you send a 400Mbyte uncompressible file (already compressed) it will write the data in 10 seconds. 40MB/s on the fibre/scsi , 40MB/s to the tape and 400Mbyte goes to tape. If you send a 400Mbyte 2to1-compressible file it will write it in 5 seconds. 80MB/s on the fibre/scsi , 40MB/s to the tape and 200Mbyte goes to tape.

Or start a dsmc session (try to start at least) and use netstat -an | grep 1800 If you don't trust your name service you can use "tcpserveraddress ip#" instead. BUT: "Session rejected" looks like the client talks to the operating system on the machine that runs the TSM server, but the server isn't answering on the port (1800). The server may be down, or you have reached the maximum number of sessions. (hint: q status). Merry Christmas Anders Räntilä
SV: [ADSM-L] Ms windows cluster and tsm questions
Check out the Redbook "IBM Tivoli Storage Manager in a Clustered Environment" http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246679.html?Open /Anders Räntilä -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] För Lee, Gary D. Skickat: den 22 oktober 2009 19:37 Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Ämne: [ADSM-L] Ms windows cluster and tsm questions Looking for experiences, dos, don'ts, etc. for using tsm to back up a ms windows cluster. I've read the sections in the v6.1 client manual, but know little or nothing about microsoft clustering. This is strictly a standard BA client setup, sql or exchange clients not involved. I've been asked about how feassable and workable tsm backups are in a cluster environment. Any and all help welcome. Gary Lee Senior System Programmer Ball State University phone: 765-285-1310
Unpack 6.1.1.1 on Linux
Now TSM 6.1.1.1 is here, but. I can not unpack it. Is this a "Read the manual !!! " or is the file corrupt? Linux Centos 5.3 # arch -k x86_64 # wget ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/server/Linux/6.1.1.1/6.1.1.1-TIV-TSMALL-Linuxx86_64.bin # chmod a+x 6.1.1.1* # file 6.1.1.1-TIV-TSMALL-Linuxx86_64.bin 6.1.1.1-TIV-TSMALL-Linuxx86_64.bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, stripped # ls -l total 212156 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 217028460 Jun 12 10:27 6.1.1.1-TIV-TSMALL-Linuxx86_64.bin Now the interesting part... # ./6.1.1.1-TIV-TSMALL-Linuxx86_64.bin UnZipSFX 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Info-ZIP (http://www.info-zip.org).

11/30/2047 00:00:00
I have a test server with TSM 6.1.1.0 (Linux Centos). It did run fine for a short while, but then suddenly all database backup tapes started to get the date 11/30/2047 00:00:00. This causes the "delete volhist type=dbb todate=-3" to fail since 2047 isn't passed (yet). There is a flash on this problem. Flash 4 Jun, 2009: Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1.1 fixpack release may incorrectly record the "Date/Time" field for the volume history file <http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1019&context=SSSQWC&context=SSGSG7&dc=D600&uid=swg21388750&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en> The flash isn't very informative. My question is how do I remove the database backup tapes. Right now the server is down because the log went full when all available tapes got stuck with "2047" status. I guess I can get some extra log at get the server to start, but it will soon run out of log again if I can't get the db backups going.
