Server-Admin-Web-Gui
Hi all, I'm using the oldfashioned Web-Gui on AIX to administer my TSM-servers (V5.2). After upgrading AIX to AIX 5.3 the behaviour of the web-gui ist different: If I lock on, I get only the left part of the window, the tree with the Server Administration. I can switch on the command line, but always when something should be written to the right part of the window, the Explorer opens a new window where all results are shown. I want it as it was bevor upgrading, just one window for the web gui. Can anybody help ? Thanks Chris
TSM-V5.4
Hi all, We plan to upgrade our tsm-servers from V5.2.7.3 to V5.4.1. The compatibility-matrix for client-server-versions tells me that only 5.3 and 5.4 clients are compatible. Is this because 5.2 is out of support ? Does anybody know if 5.2 clients (ba-client and tdp for oracle) work with 5.4 server. Or do I have to migrate all those clients that are on 5.2 or lower ? Thanks for help Christoph
TSM 5.4 docu

VTL-Experience
Hello all, We think about expanding our tsm-infrastructure with a backup-to-disk solution using a VTL or a DataDomainServer. What do we want with this : being prepared for faster restore of huge file-servers (800 Files in one Filespace). We heard about good experience with the Falconstore VTL (in combination with a NetApp Disk-Filestore). Can anybody share his experience with me and give some good advice on whats the best solution (at this time). Thanks Christoph
Admin GUI Problems
Hi all, I'm having some trouble with the admin-gui for a new tsm-server (AIX 5.3, TSM-Server 5.2.3). After installing a new tsm-server (for testing upgrade) I have the following problem : When I start the Admin-Gui in the IE I get connect with port 1880 (as I defined), but the display is not divided in two parts (as I am used to have), one part with the server-administration-tree, the other side with the responses to queries or display of the data. All responses to queries (written in the command-line) on that side and all data are displaied in a separate IE-window. What have I done : I first installed the 5.3 server version with the 5.2 admin gui. Then I had to uninstall all tsm-server-packages and to reinstall tsm 5.2.3 server with the integrated server-webadmin. Can anybody help ? Best wishes Christoph

Win-DFS and Backup
Hi all, Just having problems backing up my Win2003 Server (TSM-Client 5.3.4.0, TSM-Server 5.2.4.3) : First on this Server was DFS-Service started and the DFS-Replication Service (only local volumes). While running normal incremental backup, all files in that replicated area were expired !! Looking on servers include/exclude list ( dsmc q inclexcl ), I see that those areas are excluded by operating system (source file). -- Exclude alld:\user\...\* Operating System First question : Does the operating system mark those files as system files or where does tsm get that information from ?? Second question : Is there a possibility to remove that exclude-statement or to backup those areas matching the same directory-tree as former backups (restore and versions). With stopped replication service and option dfsbackupmntpnt no, I see those files not excluded (im GUI) and can back them up. (But I don't want to stop replication each time and don't know which other effects happen) Thanks for help Chris
PIT-Restore does not show dirs
Hi all, I try do do an point-in-time-restore to the 19-Jul-2006 on a w2k-Server (TSM Client 5.3.4.0). I can go down in the gui just to the mountpoint but I dont see that base-directory. Do I make a pit-recovery 20-Jul-2006 it shows the base-directory as inactive. With a pit-restore from 28-Jul-2006 it shows the base-directory as active. If I look at the directory-attributes it looks as if the directory is backed-up every day (changed-parameter is different for each pit-restore). I do use a default management class with following settings (and the gui shows up this management-class for the directory) : Vers Data Exist : 10 Vers Data Del : 10 Retain Extra : 184 Retain Only : 184 I know about discussions with the directories not shown in gui in former versions. But I thought, by defining a management class with a retain period longer as the longest one for files, it would work. But this looks for me as if the display doesnt sho up the directory because of the versions of the directory. (I don't know, why this directory was changed every day ???). Is this a bug of the version or normal behaviour ? Thanks for any help. Chris
Disk-to-Disk Backup
Hi all, Because we have problems to hold our service level agreements with the customers for restoring big file-servers (10 Mio files, 1TB disk-space in one filesystem), we are thinking about storing the backups not anymore on tape but on disk.

W2k-Client crash
Hi all, Since some days (since using tsm-client 5.3.2.2) we have problems on one of our w2k-clients. Sometimes the client crashes during backup of 'System and Boot Files', just close to the end of backup. The w2k-system stands without having the possibility to enter the console and has to be rebooted. Server runs on AIX 5.2 with TSM 5.2.4.3 Has anybody seen this or knows how to solve the problem. Thanks Chris

again : Slow restore
Hi all, We use TSM-Server V 5.2.4.3 on AIX 5.2 ML6. Problem with w2k-clients TSM 5.3.0.5 / 5.3.0.14. A restore of even a small directory with 1 file and 4 empty subdirectories takes about 2h 10 min if I use the Web-Cli and select the complete Directory. If I select the complete directory and exclude then 1 empty subdirectory it finished in 1.5 min. If I try to restore the remaining empty directory it again workes a very long time (I cancelled the job after 40 min). If I select the directory, the 1 file inside and the remaining directory restore completes after some minutes. What has that to do with no query restore and what does the server sort (for hours) in memory (if I understand correctly) if I only select 1 empty directory ??? Can anybody give me an answer Thanks Christoph
Restore very slow
Hi, Since this morning (5 hours) I am running a PIT-restore for a user-profile on a w2k-client (TSM V 5.2.2.0). TSM-Server is a IBM p450 with AIX 5.2 ML6 and TSM-server-version 5.2.4.3. There are about 11 Mio files stored on the backup-server from this node. Since begin of rhe restore no access on any tape has been performed, no directory is created on client. The server works hard on the database (nmon). Nothing changes in bytes-sent (3.0 M) / bytes recvd (1.5 K) for the session. The client started backups about 4 weeks ago so there are not too many incrementals since then. The data are spread over 2 tapes (IBM-3592). I now stopped the restore and started a new one to restore only one empty directory. The behaviour is the same, haevy working on db-volumes but nothing comes back. Has anybody seen something like that and knows how to get the data back ? Thanks for help Chris

TDP for Exchange Configuration problems
Hi all, We use TDP for Exchange in Version 5.1.5.0 (Exchange V 5.5 on w2k) We have an TSM-Server running V. 5.2.4.3 Policy for Exchange is : Version Data Exists : 2 Version Data Deleted : 0 Retain Extra Versions : 20 Retain Only Version : 20 We run every day an incremental backup of IS and DIR and once a week a full backup of IS and DIR. We want to have a minimum of 2 Full Backups and all Incrementel Backups between. What I see is, that with this policy we get 2 generations of full backups, but only the incremental backups from the last full until now. What do I have to change Please help Thanks Chris

Sharing 3494-Library
Hi all, A question on sharing a 3494-Library : We have one 3494-Tape Library with 8 SCSI-Attached 3590E-drives. The Library is connected to an AIX-Server via rs232. The library is only used by TSM. Now we bought an extension Frame D22 with 4 FC-connected 3592-drives. These drives should be used by a second AIX-server (running TSM). My planning is to connect the second AIX-server via RS232 to the library, and define library and new 3592-drives to TSM. Is this possible and does the library support two servers connected and do I have to define anything on the library side? Do I have to use different categories for each server (even though the used drives and tapes are totally different and not compatible) ? Thanks for any help Chris
Upgrade Library 3494
Hi all, We are running TSM (AIX 5.1 / TSM 5.1) with a 3494 Library with about 2000 tapes inside (most of them private). Because we have new drives in our library (3592) we have to upgrade the library manager software (incl. New Library-Manager-PC inside the Library). Our support wants to take the old PC out of the Library, the new one with the new Library-Manager-Software into the library and make just a reinventory of the library to build the library-manager-database. I know that the info about the status of the tapes (private or scratch) is available in the library-manager-database. With a new inventory, I think, all tapes will go to category scratch. In our tsm-server the category is also available. Is there a possibility to get the info about the status of the tapes synchronized from tsm-server to library. Is there a problem if library has the tape as category scratch and tsm has the tape as private (member of a tape-storage-pool with data)? Thanks for help Christoph

Hi Richard, That way is the second possible way to migrate. My service people told me that for this way they have to upgrade the library-manager on the existing pc.

COPY_POOL REORG
Hi all, A question about reorganisation of copy_pool. We have only one copy_pool for all our clients (about 200 unix/w2k/vms/novell-clients). The data of the copy_pool are on our second TSM-server, the connection runs via server-to-server virtual volumes. Now we want to split the copy_pool. There is no problem to make a second copy_pool for e.g. VMS and W2K, all data of primary pools go to the second copy_pool (so we have the data now three times). Is there any possibility to delete the data of the VMS and W2K-Clients from the first copy_pool ? Thanks for help Chris
Library-sharing
Hi all, We have to expand our TSM-infrastructure. Today we have 2 * H80 (AIX 5.1), 2 * 3494 (each with 8 * 3590 E1A connected via SCSI to H80) I would prefer to get 2 more AIX-Servers (6C4) with SAN-adapters and 2 * library with 3592 (or LTO) adapted to the SAN. But that is the most expensive way. My question : is it possible to expand the existing 3494 Tape-Library with a frame with 2 (4) 3592 drives and work with this part of the library from another TSM-instance on another Unix-Server (independent from the other TSM-Server). I don't want to share the drives between the instances, I want to use the SCSI-3590-drives on one server, the 3592-SAN-drives on the other server. I think I have to bring the Library itself to SAN (??) to have it shared. But is then always one TSM-Server the Library-manager (master), or can I define a library for the SCSI-drives on one server and another library (in fact the same hardware) with the SAN-drives (3592) on another TSM-server ???

Journal-Based-bACKUP
Hi all, I do have problems, backing up one of our W2K-Nodes within the given timeframe of 10 Hours. It is a very big node ( 350 GB Filespace, 6 000 000 files, all files under one mountpoint) and we always make full incremental. I plan to use journal-based-backup to get it done in time. Does anybody has experience with this kind of backup or any other good idea and can share the pro's and con's with me. And what does it mean in the User Guide ( we do not make selective backups) : The file space image at the server cannot have been modified by an administrative command since the last full incremental. The storage management policy for the files being backed up cannot have been updated since the last full incremental. Thanks for any help Chr. Pilgram Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH Co.KG

selective with wildcards
Hi all, I have a problem on our W2K-Servers : to have a faster restore on user profiles we used to backup the profiles-directory of the users more often then the rest of the machines. That was when we had novell-servers. The selective statement was easy. Now with w2k we have the problem that the profile-directory is under the users-directory. e.g. : \\bibfs01\d$\data1\user\USERNAME\Profile4.0-Desktop in the user-directory there are a lot of directories named like the users are called. In the username-directory are beneath the profile,all the users data (and that are a lot) stored. Those data we do not want to backup. How can I only backup the username/Profile without backing up all the data under the username directory. e.g : selective \\bibfs01\d$\data1\user\...\Profile* ??? (that one does not work) Thanks for help Chris

Upgrade Server 4.1.4 - 4.2.3
Hi all I have to upgrade my TSM-Servers (AIX 4.3.3) from V 4.1.4 to 4.2.3. In the readme for 4.2.3 is written under TSM Server Upgrade issues for version 4.2.0.0 that if you upgrade from 4.1.x.x you have to uninstall the current version. For me its not clear if this chapter belongs to all operating systems. So do I have to uninstall all modules of V 4.1.4 from my AIX server before installing ? Do I have to start the TSM-Server-Software before installing V4.2.3 on top of 4.2.1, or can I just install 4.2.1 and 4.2.3 immediately afterwards (with no start of dsmserv) ? When will the database be upgraded ? If anybody has experience on this, let me know Thanks Chris

AW: How many tapes reclaimed by space reclamation?
Hi Rob, I have seen that some people have sent scripts to you. So you don't need my ones. But there is one point I would like to tell you : if your client sends compressed data and the file-information shows the original size there can be a lot of data on a tape if the reclaimable space is 90 %. I saw this often with my Novell-Pool. Then the reclamation runs for these 10 % a long time ( in these cases I look at the PCT UTILIZED too (the sum of PCT UTILIZED and PCT RECLAIMABLE in these cases is always a lot more than 100 % (e.g.130%)).

Disk-Pool-Volume delete not possible
Hi all, on one of my TSM-Servers ( TSM-Vers : 4.1.4 / AIX 4.3.3 ) I have a problem with one volume of my disk-pool : I wanted to reorganize my pool-volumes, so I deleted all existing disk-volumes of that storage-pool. All but one volumes could be deleted. For this volume the Message came :ANR2406E DELETE VOLUME: Volume /TSM1/stgc/stg6.dsm still contains data. I made a q content but no data were shown. I tried do delete with discarddata=yes the reply was the same :ANR2406E DELETE VOLUME: Volume /TSM1/stgc/stg6.dsm still contains data. Then I changed the status to offline. I changed my volume-groups on AIX (by this all files from that disk-stgpool were deleted). Now I did build all new volumes. But how can I get rid of this one offline disk-volume ( I generated a new one with same size but other name and renamed it to the old name : setting it online caused an error message : ANR1315E Vary-on failed for disk volume /TSM1/stgc/stg6.- dsm - invalid label block.

W2K Missing Files
Hi all, I have a strange Problem with our W2K-Servers : TSM-Client 4.2.0.0 When starting an interactive Backup-Session I select some Files out of the explorer-like window for backup (e.g. KERNEL32.DLL from winnt\system32 ). I start the backup session and it completes without error, but all object counter say 0 . The file was not backed up. But then when I go back to the backup-window this selected files and a lot more are not displayed anymore in the file-selection in the directory \winnt\system32. And I don't find any restorable version of these files, so thei never were backed up. Does anybody have seen this behaviour on his system ? Any explanation ?

WIN2K-Complete-Restore
Hi all, I remember a document (Red-Book) where was written how to restore the Operating-System and all data to a WIN-NT-Server (By starting with an extra partition with TSM-Client and restoring the other partition ...). I can not find this document anymore on any Web-page from IBM. Does anybody have a link ? But my real problem is to recover a W2K-Server. My collegues are testing recovery on W2K-Servers and up to now thei didn't manage to get one running as before (problems that are reported by them are e.g. with the InternetExplorer 6). Does anybody have a tested plan on how to recover a W2K-Server with TSM (not realy bar-metal but e.g. with an extra partition ...) or is there anywhere a document on how to do it ? Thanks for help Christoph.
AW: Tape questions
Hy Rob, I don't know how you deleted the tape from database. If with discard data = yes the data includung the copies are deleted from database. Than you don't have the data on copy-storage-pool. If a volume is damaged and a move data doesn't get all data from that tape make a 'restore volume xxx' (there is a preview-option) to rebuild the data from the copy-storagepool to the primary-storage-pool. After this procedure all data should be available from primary-storage-pool (the damaged volume is set to 'unavailable' and can be taken out of the library).

We were unable to complete the move data command and the data was unavailable. We removed the tape and deleted it from the database. Luckily we still have the copy pool tape. What if we need to do a restore from this dataset, does TSM know to ask for the copy pool instead of the primary? Thanks, Rob Hefty IS Operations Lab Safety Supply

Performance
Hi all, a question about increasing the performance of my TSM-Server: TSM-Server : IBM H80 ( 2-way RS64III-450MHz-processor, 2GB memory ), AIX 4.3.3 , TSM 4.1.4 I see with the monitor-tool that my server has over a longer period a cpu-utilization of more than 80%. This server only handles TSM, no other task. But there is a lot of data-transfer from backup-pools to copy-pools and from disk-pool to tape-pool (150 GB disk-pool, data-transfer to copy-pool about 800 GB per day). I have some money left for increasing the performance : Does TSM support and use a second processor ? Thanks for help Chris

Also you may want more than one mount points in copy pools so generic formula for mount limit will not be count of copy pools but sum of desired mount points in pools. Look what Karel wrote.

Novell-Client
Hi all, since 2 days we have Problems on one of our Novell-Server with Backup. When Backup is scheduled from Server, the client (Netware 5.2 SP2, TSM 4.2.1.27) breaks and reboots. No backup is done. The last messages in dsmsched.log is the list of the filesystems the backup has to handle. Although we have some more Novell-Server with same Versions we have the Problems only on this one. The difference is, that on this server the following modules are loaded : ACPSAAS1.NLM Vers 4.02a from 21-Dec-2001 ACPSAAS2.NLM Vers 4.02a from 21-Dec-2001 while on all other Novell-Clients these Modules are loaded in Vers 4.01b from 30-May-2001. It seems to be that the Server with problems is the only one really rebooted since installation of the TSM-Client-Version 4.2.1.27. Does anyone have similar Problems and/or knows about a solution ? Thanks Chris

AW: Utilizing All My drives
Hi Bassam, you can define as many processes as you like, but the limitation is the number of free drives. If you define more procs then you have drives, the migration processes wait until there is a drive available (this also happens if some of your drives are used by other processes). For using more than 2 drives you have to set the parameter mount limit in your device-definition to a apropriate value (normally you set this value to 'drives'). You normally set the value maxprocs to a value less then the number of drives, so that other operations can work on tapes too.

Hi, as Demetrius said, its the migpr-Parameter that you can set with your migration. The mountlimit is a parameter in the devclasses-table. You can after setting mountlimit to drives just initiate migration by saying upd stg yourstoragepool hi=0 lo=0 migpr=4 and if there are date from more than 4 clients that should store their data on different tapes (collocation=yes) in that pool, 4 processes should start.

AW: UNLOADDB/LOADDB Scenario
Hi Andy, my idea is similar to yours : halt the server copy my databases and logs (for fallback) unloaddb to devclass=file loadformat loaddb I don't think you have to make an auditdb if your unloaddb works with the consistant-option (default) (Administrators Reference 'dsmserv unloaddb'). Where does the loaddb-process get the information about the database-volumes to load from ? Does it use the dsmserv.dsk ? (Because the unloaddb-process seems to get the information about names and directories of the db- and log-files directly out of one of the db-files). But I wanted to test it before running the processes on production to get an idea about the runtime of the processes. Our database is about 24 GB and with an unload-performance of about 2 GB (I tested with a smaller database) it would take about 12 H and then I haven't yet reloaded the database. And I heard about some problems with loaddb with some TSM-Versions, so I have to have a quick fallback-strategy.

We're you placed at the macine when you did all of theese commands? Normally, a manual library ejects the volume after a process has completed. You didn't describe wethear or not you inserted the tape again.

Defined a 'manuel library' called 'LOC_DEV' Defined a 'manuel drive' called 'DAT1' pointing to '/dev/rmt0' with Library Name 'LOC_DEV' Defined a '4mm device class' called 'DAT' with 'recording format ' DDS3C', 'library name' = 'LOC_DEV' Labelling a volume with 'label libvol LOC_DEV vol001' seems to work : ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL LIBVOLUME LOC_DEV vol001 OVERWRITE=YES ANR0984I Process 3 for LABEL LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 14:24:40. ANR8799I LABEL LIBVOLUME: Operation for library LOC_DEV started as process 3. ANR8326I 002: Mount GENERICTAPE volume VOL001 R/W in drive DAT1 (/dev/rmt0) of library LOC_DEV within 60 minutes. ANR0609I LABEL LIBVOLUME started as process 3. ANR8372I 002: Remove GENERICTAPE volume VOL001 from drive DAT1 (/dev/rmt0) of library LOC_DEV. ANR8800I LABEL LIBVOLUME for volume VOL001 in library LOC_DEV completed successfully. ANR0985I Process 3 for LABEL LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 14:27:38. Then I tried to make a dbbackup to the device class 'DAT', type 'FULL' on volume 'vol001' an d got the following error : ANR2280I Full database backup started as process 4. ANR4571E Database backup/restore terminated - insufficient number of mount points available for removable media. ANR0985I Process 4 for DATABASE BACKUP running in the FOREGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at 14:28:57. My question : where do I have to set the number of mountpoints other then in the the '4mm device class' or do I have enywhere else a wrong definition ? Thanks for help Chris
Filenames with generic characters
Hi all, sometimes it happens, that while backing up a client to my server ( Vers 4.1.4 / AIX 4.3.3 ) the error message ANS1228E Sending of object '/u02/home/iv/test/*' failed is written in the client-error-log. The problem seems to be that he wants to update the information for this file on the servers tsm-database but can't handle the generic filename '*'. A filename like this normaly makes no sense (but it happens). The server is able to back it up. But the server cant delete or update a file with this name in his database. My question : Is there a way to delete these files from the tsm-database. Up to now i renamed the filespace and after a while I deleted this filespace. But this is not very handy for restoring. Thanks for any help Chris
remove a tape from library
Hi all, today I have a problem with one of my tapes in the tape-library (3494). A tape didn't come out of the drive, the technican came in, and he managed to bring out the tape. But unfortunately the tape broke, so it is now (after restoring the data from copy-pool) set 'destroyed'. I deleted the volume with discarddata=yes. The tape is physically not in the library. Is there a command to remove a volume (that is only in the database, not physically in the library) from TSM and the library-database ? Thanks a lot Christoph
Migration
Hi all, today I have a question dealing with migration : I have one disk-storage-pool that is filled up during the night by several clients. When it reaches the High-Mig-Pct, the Migration starts with up to three jobs going to tape. Backups havent finished at that time and suddenly the backup-jobs wants a tape to be mounted, and this is just that tape, that is mounted by the migration-job (because of collocation on client). So the backup-job has to wait and wait. But the question is, why the backup of the client, that has as primary-pool only a disk-pool whis no maximum size threshhold transfers data direct to tape (while disk pool is migrating) and whow to stop this behaviour.

TDPO 2.2
Hi all, my question is about TDP for Oracle running on HP-UX 11.0 On our database-server is a logfile written in the .../udump-directory which contains messages with number SBT-13167. I cannot see who is writing these messages but there are a lot of these messages. I would like to stop the writing in the logfile, but I don't know how. Thanks for any help Chris
Performance on w2k
Hi all, I have a a question concerning performance on a W2K-Client. On our W2K-fileserver (2 processors, 80 files, w2k-compression on) we get a very poor performance with our backup (Vers. 4.2.0.0). With the performance monitor there seems not to be an problem with memory or CPU The bad time results from the scanning of the filesystem. In dsmsched.log you can see, that the system scans about 1000 to 1500 files per minute, what is compared to other systems very poor. I am not an expert in w2k so my question : is this normal for a w2k-system with that many files. Because there are sometimes a lot of rights belonging to one file, maybe there is a lot to compare with the filelist from the TSM-server ?? I saw in the XP-Client-Version an Problem fixed with IC31706, that reports of a performance problem in XP (what is the same TSM-Client), but this fix is not available for w2k. Has anybody an idea where the problem comes from and how it can be fixed ? Thanks a lot Chris
