Re: Space reclamation

2003-07-22 Thread Chandrasekhar, C.R
Questions:

(j) Can I use reclaimation when I have got only i1 tape drive and the
reclamation pool is to another sequential stgpool?

We can do manual reclamation using file device class(sequential), ref Admin
guide for instructions.

(ii) what is the meaning of insufficient mount points in the message. For
info, my client nodes are defined with a max no of 2 mount points.

For auto reclamation you must have minimum two tape drives in your library.

(iii) Why TSM is not loading the required volume when the tape is alaready
in the library?
Library does not have two drives to load source and target tapes for auto
reclamation.

Subject: Space reclamation


Hi,


I am quite new to TSM and trying to configure some setups by myself 
currebntly facing some problems.

My setup is as follows:

I run a daily backup for around 200 GB on LTO tapes. I permanently have 3
tapes in a 3590 library defined to a stgpool (UATPOOL). I want to keep the
last 3 copies. So I am using the expiry features and want to use reclamation
to recover the recalimable space so that my automated backups goes
continuosly on these 3 volumes.


My problem is that I am geeting the following messages :

ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume UATHOT01, storage pool
UAT_POOL (process number 39).
ANR1044I Removable volume UATHOT01 is required for space reclamation.
ANR0985I Process 39 for SPACE RECLAMATION running in the BACKGROUND
completed with completion state FAILURE at 16:13:35.
ANR1082W Space reclamation terminated for volume UATHOT01 - insufficient
number of mount points available for removable media.
ANR1042I Space reclamation for storage pool UAT_POOL will be retried in 60
seconds.
ANR1043I Space reclamation retry delay ended; checking volume reclamation
status for storage pool UAT_POOL.

Questions:

(j) Can i use reclaimation when i have got only i1 tape drive and the
reclamation pool is to another sequential stgpool?

(ii) what is the meaning of insufficient mount points in the message. For
info, my client nodes are defined with a max no of 2 mount points.

(iii) Why TSM is not loading teh required volume when the tape is alaready
in the library?

All assistance will be much appreciated

 Can we execute SQL statements using same option (-DATAOnly=NO)?.

The option affects output of *all* admin commands, so the answer to your
question is yes. Note that you'll want to specify -dataonly=yes if you
wish to suppress the column headers.

 We have TSM v4.2.3.3 server, how can I use this feature.

Install the 5.2 admin client. The 5.2 admin client and 4.2 server are not
an officially supported combination, but in theory it should work just
fine.

We are using the 'domain all-local' parameter in our dsm.opt file but
the backup is consistently skipping one drive.  (Of course, it is the
most critical drive with the largest amount of data.)  Has anyone else
run into this problem?  Is it a security issue?

It was previously backing up this drive until about a month ago.  I am
unsure what changed on the server at that time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

reply to your questions according to my TSM setup.

Does this client ping.
yes

Has the schedule ever worked for this client?
yes

Is it a single client schedule, and if not do the other clients work ok ?
Actually I have plenty of schedules defined for backups but Iam observing
this problem in two schedules only and quit frequently.

Have you tested that a  one off schedule contacts this client?

Re: Upgrade 4.1.1 to 5.1.6.2

2003-03-04 Thread Chandrasekhar, C.R
hi All,

I have done upgradation from 4.1.x.x to 5.1.x.x may times but I never faced
any problems so far, In Quick Start Guide they clearly mentioned the steps
to upgrade, Suppose for example if we face any problem while up gradation
from 4.1.x.x to 5.1.x.x then what is correct procedure to back out to
previous version in this case 4.1.x.x (we have to uninstall as up gradation
procedure) that means we have to freshly reinstall 4.1.x.x and restore the
database is it right procedure to backout or any other steps be carried out.


Waiting for your valuable suggestions on this.

We just upgraded from 4.2.2 to 5.1.5.1 Sunday evening.  It went very
smooth.One thing I haven't seen mentioned in anyone elses feedback is
the license file.
You should print off a copy of your current license file before you
upgrade.  Once you perform the upgrade, the license info is lost and you
will need to rebuild it.
Another suggestion that support gave me before we started the upgrade is to
not only perform a data base backup, but before that, clean out all of the
DISK storage pools.   They also suggested to backup the volhist and the
devconf, then copy them to another location, just in case you have
problems.

I'm gonna upgrade a TSM server from 4.1.1 to 5.1.6.x on a NT4 server.

I can see through the readme file and the Quick Start Guide that I should
remove the current 4.1.1 TSM installation, and install 5.1.0 /5.1.5 in the
same directory (I was hoping that I could do an uppgrade without moving the
existing TSM software).

Is that all? Will all info about admins, nodes, storage pools remain and
show up in the new TSM server?
Or should I do an export /import og such information?

Anyone had any bad experience about this that I should know of?

Later I'm gonna move the TSM server from the NT4 box to a new physical w2k
server...but I'll take one thing at a time.


Regards
Sylvia Nergård

hi

Yes you can but you have to define new drive in the devcnfg.out file
according to the new tape drive specifications if both the tape drives are
compatible. while restoring the database TSM will check for devcnfg.out file
and connects to the tape drive for restoring.

Hi,

Can anyone verify this for me:
If I create a db backup tape in a multi-tapes DLT library from one system,
can I
eject this tape and try to restore the database into another system which
has
only a single DLT drive attached to it?
I was told that I could only do the restore using the same multi-tape DLT
library. I am not sure if this is true because I have never gone through
this step.

Hi Etienne,
you can use remote disks for file device class. I am not sure about 5.1
version, but I did this on 4.2 version and it worked fine.
I had problems with using disk device class on remote disks, but file
device class worked for me.
You can even use UNC names for file volumes (it is better than using drive
mapping, bacause you do not need to be logged in to console on TSM server)

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to have a storage pool on a remote
machine without installing TSM on it. Typically, what I wan't to do is to
use space on a remote server to have a disk or a file storage pool on it. I
tried with a file device class and it allows only local disks. A disk
devices class goes a little further, but when it tries to format the
volume, there's an error. One possibility would be to create a local file
storage pool and then to copy the files on the remote servers and put the
file volumes in offline state, or something like that, but is there
something easier ?
I tried that with TSM 5.1.5

Re: END EVENTLOGGING.

First disable the event logging using command

disable event SNMP ALL  ( for disabling events to log)
end eventlogging SNMP ( to remove the active receivers)
q status ( cross check for active receivers)

I hope this will help you.

Interesting, issue the  ' Q ENABLED SNMP' command and it indicates:

'All server events are DISABLED for the SNMP receiver.'

 However a 'Q STA' still shows NETVIEW as an active receiver.

 Remember that this is an audit request and I can't see why this is an
issue when there are only 2 of us supporting the TSM server and we don't
have any issue with the defaults.

 Thanks for the info Wanda.

If you enter:  Q ENABLED SNMP

You can see what events are being sent to SNMP.

You can enter:  DISABLE EVENTS SNMP ALL

And no more events will be sent via SNMP, even if someone starts event
logging again.

Those are things that can be removed on the fly.

And I believe if you remove COMMMETHOD SNMP from the dsmserv.opt, that will
disable any possibility of communcating via SNMP.  But that will take a
server bounce to implement.

Good Morning,

 In their ultimate wisdom our corporate audit department has decided that
we need to stop our NETVIEW active receiver. I know that I can end the
NETVIEW receiver using the end event logging command but is there a way to
permanently remove this receiver? I know that this is a bit odd but audit

 Any information that anyone can provide is appreciated.
