Vanishing Vault Retrieve tapes
I have a little problem with one of my Tivoli 5.3 systems. Tapes in the vault gradually expire during the week and are recovered once per week, on Mondays. However, some tapes fall into Vault Retrieve status and are then lost overnight. For example, I have one tape today that was in Vault Retrieve 24 hours ago but today cannot be found anywhere in Tivoli. It's still in the vault. When I do a q vol on it, it's not found. Other tapes that were in the same state yesterday still are. Nothing in the activity log references this missing tape so nobody has run any commands against it. So, can tapes that fall into Vault retrieve expire in some way? Gallair e-bost yma gynnwys gwybodaeth gyfrinachol a/neu ddeunydd hawlfraint.

Another archive/expire query
I am busy helping an external supplier understand his own Tivoli system, which has become full. We plan to archive certain drive letters attached to a file server which contain data that will never change. The archive process is fine but what is the best way to remove references to the archived data from the main TSM database? Should I run a dsmc expire j:\*.* at the client? Will that expire the data immediately? How would subdirectories be handled? There appears to be no -subdir=yes option for the expire command. Alternatively, would dsmc delete backup j:\* -deltype=all get rid of the file references from the TSM database? I take it the deletion would get rid of the entries immediately.

Re: ANS1009W DRM error and recommended fix
Presumably displaying the faulty multi_sz value strips out anything that shouldn't be there and hitting OK commits the stripped values back into the registry.

Stuck full filling empty offsite tape
I have an offsite tape pool volume in an unusual state. It reports itself as 0.4% and filling but if I try to move the data to another volume, Tivoli reports that the tape contains no data, returning ANR2209W and ANS800, return code 11. Examining the content of the tape brings back nothing. If I try to delete the volume and discard the content, I get ANS8001, return code 14. I'm a bit stuck here.

Re: Archiving basic queries
Right, I think I have the archiving process clear in my own mind now. I may be wrong but that's purely my own fault ;-) The next query is expiration. Ideally, I'd like to immediately expire the files which have been archived, to free up library space. I currently retain 3 versions up to 100 days and the final version up to 365 days. I can set all of those values temporarily nice and low but as I understand it, the database objects are only finally removed by the EXPIRE INVENTORY process at the server end. This would presumably remove all old versions, not just those I have archived. Is there a way around this, am I simply wrong, or will I just have to wait for the normal expiration process timeout?

Re: Archiving basic queries
Yes, library space is threatening to become an issue in the near future so I want to do some housekeeping. I already run a fairly agressive reclamation scheme so there aren't any underused tapes around. If I drop my retention values to 0, say, and run EXPIRE INVENTORY, I'm guessing I'll expire my archived files plus old versions of current, unarchived files. That's not something that'll make me popular! I'm not that short of library space at the moment so perhaps I'll just archive anything that hasn't been accessed in the last couple of years and wait for the database to catch up. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Larry Clark Sent: 22 October 2007 12:16 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Archiving basic queries You can execute an expire inventory at anytime It sounds like you are in a pinch for library space. Maybe the better thing to obtain space in the tape library more quickly would be to see how many volumes would be freed if you dropped your reclamation value on the storage pool(s) that occupy the library.

Re: Archiving basic queries
That's the plan. I have an archiving storage pool setup and ready, although not a separate management class.

Re: Archiving basic queries
Thanks for that. Makes it a lot clearer. So, if I create a filelist of files I want to archive and archive them with the -deletefiles option, they will be gone from the source, correct? If I then run an expire with the same filelist, the files will be expired from the Tivoli primary storage pools but not the archive, thereby freeing up library space (once the archive tapes are safely removed), also correct? I hope so - the job might actually be fairly simple that way!

This gets back to my recent posting regarding the TSM CLI being neglected such that it doesn't provide rather basic capabilities that customers should expect, and doesn't try to remain competitive relative to what other vendors are doing. Client development needs an infusion of fresh ideas and motivated people. And, probably, the big company needs less bureaucracy stifling creativity and the implementation of new ideas. Look at the rich capabilities in the Linux command set, as a public example of people regularly adding helpful features to software: TSM's CLI looks utterly stunted by comparison. Probably your best bet is to create a small perl script which does the date test and invoke dsmc archive as appropriate. Richard Sims at Boston University

Re: Checkout full, unchanging tape volumes
Thanks for that Richard. Reclamation should not be an issue because the content of a full tape in this pool never changes. Once full, the tapes just sit there taking up space. I've noticed in TSMManager that I have the option to checkout a tape to onsite storage so I may experiment with that. I agree that the real solution is more library capacity but in a cash-strapped environment with wildly differing budgets from year-to-year, it's neccessary to take a creative approach sometimes. Once you add in the fact that the system is *actually* managed by an external company that nevertheless has no in-house Tivoli skills you can start to appreciate the situation I find myself in all too often ;-) -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Sims Sent: 18 July 2007 15:12 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Checkout full, unchanging tape volumes On Jul 18, 2007, at 8:40 AM, Angus Macdonald wrote: So can I take it my suggestion won't work?

How are tapes declared full
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%. The estimated capacities also vary from 320GB to over 600GB. I'm not actually having any problems but how does TSM decide the estimated capacity of a tape and whether or not it is full?

As one can see from the output of the q dbv command we have 2 db vols. The first is on a local disk array and the second on enterprise storage disk. The goal is to get the DB off the local disk and onto the enterprise storage disk. ANS8000I Server command: 'q dbv f=d' Volume Name (Copy 1): /adsmserv/db/dbvol01.dsm Copy Status: Sync'd Volume Name (Copy 2): Copy Status: Undefined Volume Name (Copy 3): Copy Status: Undefined Available Space (MB): 50,000 Allocated Space (MB): 50,000 Free Space (MB): 0 Volume Name (Copy 1): /adsmserv/db2/db2.dsm Copy Status: Sync'd Volume Name (Copy 2): Copy Status: Undefined Volume Name (Copy 3): Copy Status: Undefined Available Space (MB): 81,000 Allocated Space (MB): 10,000 Free Space (MB): 71,000 If we run the command delete dbv /adsmserv/db/dbvol01.dsm, TSM is smart enough to move the database contents out of /adsmserv/db/dbvol01.dsm and into /adsmserv/db2/db2.dsm. Is that correct? This delete/mov occurs during the background without interrupting other TSM processes and sessions? We would also like to delete/move the log vol in the near future. This move isn't from local to enterprise storage, just from one local array to another. We have not defined the new log volume or extended the current log volume. Assuming this work has been done... can we (again) simply delete logv on the log volume we want to move from? ANS8000I Server command: 'q logv f=d' Volume Name (Copy 1): /adsmserv/log/logvol01.dsm Copy Status: Sync'd Volume Name (Copy 2): Copy Status: Undefined Volume Name (Copy 3): Copy Status: Undefined Available Space (MB): 10,000 Allocated Space (MB): 10,000 Free Space (MB): 0 Thanks so much!

Vaulted DB Backups vanish from TSM?
I'm still pretty new to TSM so please be gentle with me. I have inherited control of a previously externally-managed TSM 5.3 system and have been chasing a problem where there always seem to be tapes in the vault that shouldn't be there. After much chasing, it appears that the extras are DB Backup tapes that have been sent to the vault, then subsequently expired. Unlike offsite copy tapes that are expired through reclamation, the expired DB tapes don't appear to be flagged in any way so, unlike reclaimed offsite copy tapes, they are not given a Vaultretrieve status. The DB backups just vanish from the system and it's neccessary to trawl through the histories of these volumes as they are found. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't work this way so can anybody recommend some best practice for handling expired DB tapes?
Another probably newbie question!
I have a TSM 5.3 server with a 150GB disk pool (PACS_DISK_POOL). Highmig=90 and lowmig=70. The disk pool is currently 100% utilised. Shouldn't an automatic migration to the next storage pool (PACS_TAPE_POOL) have started? I tried running MIGRATE STGPOOL PACS_DISK_POOL lowmig=60 but was told there was no data to migrate. I tried MIGRATE STGPOOL PACS_DISK_POOL lowmig=0 but got the same response. The next storage pool has plenty of free capacity and scratch tapes. I'm out of ideas so all suggestions welcome. Angus

Re: Newbie question 2!
Thanks for that. I'm lucky in that my environment is very close to the example in the implementation guide redbook, so I'm able to carefully work through the book, learning exactly what to do at every stage. Now I have a working system I have the confidence to start icing the cake, not to mention ask questions here.

My general advice for newbies: Take home the TSM Admin Guide and Admin Reference. Read the Admin Guide from cover to cover. As commands and options are discussed in the guide, read up on them in the reference. In the same fashion, also recommend reading the TSM Backup-Archive Client user's guide from cover to cover. Pick the client manual for the client you will be using the most. After that, you can probably cherry-pick material to read from the other client books that apply to your installation. Yes, it is a daunting task, given the size of the books, but if you can get through one or two chapters a day, you should be able to do it in a month or less; and you will find it to be a worthwhile investment of your time. It is my own experience that this is the best way to learn a product that you will be working with, and it will give you a good overall acquaintence with TSM's capabilities. In the admin guide, pay special attention to the chapters on protecting your TSM server (the database, recovery log, and storage pools). Also go to http://www.redbooks.ibm.com and in the search box, enter: tivoli storage manager You will find multiple hits of interest. Also bookmark the URL in my sig.

Total newbie question about DB Backups
I'm just in the process of implementing TSM 5.3 for the first time in our environment and I'm following the TSM Implementation Guide (June 2006 edition) redbook very closely ;-) Things are going pretty well so far but I have a bit of an issue with my database backups. Every DB backup seems to use another scratch tape so my 3582 is going to run out of tapes very quickly. My backup command is Backup DB type=full devc=lto2-dc lifted directly from the redbook. How can I limit the number of tapes used for DB backups? I tried limiting the backup to a particular tape volume but the tape is apparently in use after the first backup and cannot be reused. Angus
Re: Total newbie question about DB Backups
Okay, I may rely on mirroring then. If I do a DB backup every 4 hours it'll cost 6 tapes a day and each one will only have a few MB of data. For some reason, the tapes used for DB Backup aren't listed when I execute a Q VOL. Something else to investigate.

Re: Power saving and TSM backups
If you hibernate PCs instead of shutting them down, Windows can run a scheduled task that wakes the machine from hibernation, runs the backup then hibernates again. You get all the power savings of a proper shutdown but the machine can still be automatically backed up. -Original Message- From: Andrew Raibeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 August 2006 05:21 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Power saving and TSM backups I can't speak to Mac or Linux, but Windows has the shutdown.exe program.

As we typically run backups at night, this presents a problem. We would like to see a way that users could initiate a backup/auto-shutdown as they leave work for the day so that their computers aren't left on all night. We estimate that the energy savings would be substantial. Some other backup products provide this capability. Has anyone else figured out a way to do this with TSM on Windows, MacOS, and Linux? Has anyone else wished that TSM had a way to do this? ..Paul
