Server Return Code 11
Hello, I was looking on the list to see if this had come up before but couldn't find anything.. Nothing earth shattering.. Anyone notice that sometimes when you issue 'quit' from an admin command line it doesn't always quit with a return code of '0'. Many time I get a return code of '11'... tsm: TSM_C01quit ANS8002I Highest return code was 11. After the latest postings of tsm scripts to check that the server is up and running and email if it isn't I wrote a simple script that did a 'dsmadmc -id= -pa= quit' and then did a: if [[ ! $? -eq '0' ]]; then sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] serverdown.msg else exit 0 fi Well, I had cron run it 4 times a day.. and of course when I left for the day my pager goes off. I go home, dial in and all is okay.. Couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Now it finally hit me... return code 11!!! Anybody know what return code 11 is and why 'quit' would cause it sometimes??? Regards, Denis L.

4) Do you have an include-exclude file for the client node? What does it
look like?
5) From the client machine, what is the output from this command:
QUERY INCLEXCL

Re: Clientoption Sets not binding proberly to a management class --Again--
Andy, Thank you very much.. That was it.. I defined the option with double and single quotes. I redefined it and now it works. I have one more question... I was going to create this one option set for all servers in the Harris domain. NT and UNIX. Is this okay? Is there any problems with having an inclexcl for a NT server and an inclexcl for a UNIX server in the same client option set? For example INCLEXCL 10No include /web/prod/web_logs/.../* 8YR_CLASS INCLEXCL 11No include D: \web\prod\web_logs\...\* 8YR_CLASS Again... Thanks! Regards, Denis L.

I believe that the trouble is in the syntax used to define the INCLEXCL option, as you enclosed the file specification and management class name in double quotes. At a guess, I would say you defined the client options something like this: define clientopt harris_opt inclexcl 'include /web/prod/web_logs/.../* 8YR_CLASS' ... putting single quotes around the entire INCLUDE parameter and double quotes around the file spec and management class name. as a result, the entire double-quoted string is being treated like a file spec with a space in it, as opposed to a file spec and management class. You can tell by the QUERY INCLEXCL output, which shows the management class name as part of the pattern (normally the QUERY INCLEXCL does not show the management class names). You should delete both of those statements and instead just put quotes around the entire INCLUDE statement, but nowhere in between, like this: define clientopt harris_opt inclexcl include /web/prod/web_logs/.../* 8YR_CLASS Verify the results with QUERY INCLEXCL, which should not show the management class name. Then try the backups again. A couple of other points: 1) The /web/prod/web_logs/* file spec is redundant, as it is a subset of /web/prod/web_logs/.../*. So one pattern should cover what you want. 2) Be careful about using DIRMC. If you set DIRMC to a management class whose backup copy group has a RETONLY setting lower than that of the 8YR_CLASS copy group, then you may not be able to restore inactive versions of directories that are part of the /web/prod/web_logs structure, as they will expire when the smaller RETONLY criteria is met. This won't prevent you from restoring the files, but (a) you may need to use the command line interface to restore the files since the GUI depends on the directory structure backups also being present, and (b) the directories will only be recreated, not restored. This may or may not be important to you, but I just wanted to point out the caveats associated with using RETONLY. If you need to keep backups for 8 years, archive might be the better way to go (?). Alternatively, use one node name to back up the files that really need 8 year *backup* retention, and another node name to back up files that don't require such lengthy retention.

Re: LANFREE Backups - Feedback?

It's actually only supported for Oracle databases running on a Solaris system and TSM ALSO must be running on Solaris. Don't vendors usually make things work for their products first then make it compatible with other systems? I think IBM/Tivoli forgot to get together on this one.

Re: LANFREE Backups - Feedback?
Jason, I completely agree with you. The majority of our databases are running on Solaris attached to EMC. But, I think that the percentage of TSM Servers running on Solaris versus running on AIX is a lot more for AIX. I would venture to say that AIX is the preferred operating system for TSM. This, I feel is the limitation. Not the fact that it's Solaris only, but the fact that TSM will not work with TDP for EMC if TSM is running on AIX. It has to be running on Solaris. Regards, Denis L.

Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] T.EDU 03/05/2002 10:18 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Yes I believe when Tivoli looked at the development of the Timefinder function they looked at the market first. It was concluded that an EMC/Sun solution represented the larger market share of what customer have installed. ie there are more EMC/Sun installed sites than there are EMC/Aix sites.Mainly because Aix sites tend to be IBM disk solutions. Therefore if you wnat to sell a product, develop for the majority first. If people like it and want it so make some more ! Vendors do make software for there own products, so hopefully I see you purchasing lots of ESS soon then !! There's little point in doing costly developing for a product that no one wants. Yes the TDP for EMC has a VERY limited scole for configuration, and no RS/6000 isn't in there I believe. Specific products like this tend to be demand driven. From what I understand the current TDP/EMC saw a very limited uptake by customers. There has also been little demand to expand is platform coverage in this space. The TDP for EMC was also on the market before the TDP for ESS/Flashcopy. Thinking back I believe that is because EMC had the timefinder on the market before IBM/ESS and flashcopy. It was a while after before Tivoli got it's hands on working Flashcopy to do any sort of development, and these thing take time. Back to the original point LAN-Free with TSM works backup and restore apart from the above, and I'm running a 2 day workshop in the UK next week to show it working and give hands on to those who want to know more.

We then specified NDS: in the DOMAIN on this test case. As we further investigated, we realized that we haven't been backing up NDS!

Re: Netware 5.1 4.2.1 Client
Yes, I currently have a PMR opened with Tivoli. I'm warning you.. it's ugly. Tivoli - NDS Transport is a Novell error which Tivoli is only reporting it. Novell - NDS Transport errors are being generated by Tivoli not interfacing properly with Novell. Tivoli - They have no documentation or information from Novell as to what the NDS Transport message is actuall complaining about. Novell - They cannot perform any further diagnosis until they recieve a core dump. So, what do we do? We still get the errors but no core dumps. So, we paitently wait for one of our servers to crash so we can have Novell identify what the problem is. Hat's off to Novell's support orginazation.. They don't know what THEIR error is and cannot do anything else until our server core dumps... great. I must say, Tivoli support has been excellent.

Optical vs. Tape
Does anybody have any input as to what the benefits of Optical vs. Tape are? I currently have 4 3494's with 3590E's and K tapes. I was offered the use of 4 3995's that were being used on the Mainframe for an application which has been retired. Do I want them?

Re: Ejecting a Tape (Category FF00) from 3494 Library
There is an option you need to select for the library to inventory the frame after a door has been opened. I think it's : command -- inventory -- enable. This will inventory the frame the door was opened on and the 2 adjacent frames. I don't think this will remove any inventory references of tapes which were once there and are now gone. It will update the volume as 'misplaced'. The only way to get that tape out of the LM Database is to either: 1. Put it back in - Either CIO or Recovery Cell, then eject it through TSM via checkout libv. 2. Do a re-inventory of the complete system. Keep in mind, if you are sharing the 3494 with another system the inventory will affect them as well. Each volser is sent to the attached hosts in some grouping - I think like 100 volsers at a time. They all get sent up as FF00 (Insert Status). The attached host will then either claim what's theirs or reject them. Those that get rejected then get sent to the next host. And so on.. The easiest way, and least disruptive is to get that old volume back. Regards, Denis L.

When I do a 'q license', one of the results is: Number of Managed System for LAN in use: 107 My question is, what counts as 'in use'? For example, there are a bunch of nodes that are defined and are no longer used or associated with any schedules. Do these count as 'in use', and if so, should I export the node out of the db and delete it to get the license counts down? One other question: anyone got a query to figure out which nodes are NOT associated with a schedule. This would help me identify nodes that are candidates for export. Many thanks, Dylan
Re: Procedure for migrating TSM from on hardware platform to another.

Re: 3494,rs6000 and rs232
Brec, Be sure that you are connecting to the correct port of the ARTIC card on the LM. By default the first 4 slots are rs232 and the second 4 slots are rs422. Usually, the config would be: Slot1 - rs232 TSM port Slot2 - rs232 w/ rs422 converter 3590 Cu Port Slot3 - rs232 w/ rs422 converter 3590 Cu Port Slot4 - rs232 w/ rs422 converter 3590 Cu Port Slot5 - rs422 3590 Cu Port etc, etc. In the above example you would have to relocate a 3590 rs232 connection to a rs422 connection ( no need for a converter now ) and plug TSM into the rs232 location. Fyi, the port configurations are configured during the TEACH of the 3494. Hope this helps.

We are currently running TSM 4.1 on AIX 4.3.3 on a 604e High node ( MCA ) in an SP2 complex. 3590 drives SCSI attached in a 3494 using rs232 serial LM connection on a serial attached port extender. We are trying to move to an H50 ( PCI ) , still using AIX 4.3.3 and attempting to attach the LM to the serial ( S2 ) port. We have tried using a 25 / 9 pin converter, but still are unable to connect to the LM. We continue to get the 'Library is offline to host' message. We are using Atape 5.4.4and atldd 4.1.5. We have followed all doc about drivers. Adding atld through SMIT starts lmcp daemon correctly and ibmatl.conf is correctly configured. We have also tried a null / modem connection between the serial cable and 25 / 9 pin converter. There are a couple of threads about this type of thing but none of them address specifics about cable type or any extras that are needed for connection. If anyone has any suggestions or has made this work, we would appreciate hearing from you. TIA, Brec Whitten UAB Hospital

Re: Handling spikes in storage transfer
The only way I can think of figuring this out (and this is what I've done in the past) is to update the dsm.opt with the verbose option. Then look at the dsmsched.log. The only sql tables which I can think of which reference files and bytes is the backups table and the summary table. Unfortunately there is no correlation between the filename (backups - ll_name) and the bytes transferred. However, this information is logged in the client schedule log when verbose is specified in the dsm.opt file. If anybody else know of an alternate method I too would be very interested.

I had the same problem. The recommended fix was to change the client dsm.opt (NT) dsm.sys (UNIX) to 'polling' instead of 'prompted' scheduling mode. I believe it is addressed as a 'known bug' in the readme of the client software. I did just that and it works fine now.

Recovery Log behavior after 100% util reached
Hello, I have recently inherited an over worked, maxed out TSM server where the recovery log maxes out on just about a nightly basis. I have 2 questions maybe someone can help me with. 1. Why does the server only crash sometimes when the log fills up. For example, yesterday it reached 100% but never went down. 2 days ago it reached 100% and TSM crashed. 2. When the server didn't crash the log kind of automatically zero'd itself after reaching 100%. What happened to all those uncommitted changes to the database? Did I lose data? Shouldn't the log remain at 100% actual used until a db backup takes place? I have a 'q log' script in cron that runs every 10 minutes and this is the output during that time frame: Server date/time: 01/10/02 02:10:10 Last access: 01/10/02 02ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 564 4,096 655,872 510,699 77.9 77.9 Server date/time: 01/10/02 03:00:04 Last access: 01/10/02 02ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 8 4,096 655,872 653,290 99.6 99.6 Server date/time: 01/10/02 03:20:00 Last access: 01/10/02 03ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 2,560 4,096 655,872 189 0.0 100.0 Server date/time: 01/10/02 03:10:01 Last access: 01/10/02 03ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 2,560 4,096 655,872 189 0.0 100.0 As you can see the log reached 100% (99.6) at 3:00am and at 3:10 zero'd out.

I have 2 questions maybe someone can help me with. 1. Why does the server only crash sometimes when the log fills up. For example, yesterday it reached 100% but never went down. 2 days ago it reached 100% and TSM crashed. 2. When the server didn't crash the log kind of automatically zero'd itself after reaching 100%. What happened to all those uncommitted changes to the database? Did I lose data? Shouldn't the log remain at 100% actual used until a db backup takes place? I have a 'q log' script in cron that runs every 10 minutes and this is the output during that time frame: Server date/time: 01/10/02 02:10:10 Last access: 01/10/02 02ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 564 4,096 655,872 510,699 77.9 77.9 Server date/time: 01/10/02 03:00:04 Last access: 01/10/02 02ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 8 4,096 655,872 653,290 99.6 99.6 Server date/time: 01/10/02 03:20:00 Last access: 01/10/02 03ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 2,560 4,096 655,872 189 0.0 100.0 Server date/time: 01/10/02 03:10:01 Last access: 01/10/02 03ANS8000I Server command: 'q log' 2,5642,564 0 2,560 4,096 655,872 189 0.0 100.0 As you can see the log reached 100% (99.6) at 3:00am and at 3:10 zero'd out.

Memory Tuning For AIX
Hello- I am having a memory problem. I am runnning AIX 4.3.2 on a H50. TSM is the only application running on the server. When I run vmstat I get the following... kthr memory page faultscpu - --- --- r b avm fre re pi po fr sr cy in sy cs us sy id wa 0 0 136233 202 0 3 2 99 210 0 52 240 66 17 30 16 37 1 3 136234 342 0 38 11 3727 4204 0 1322 6136 4665 12 11 3 74 2 3 136236 160 0 44 12 3728 5326 0 1324 5844 4644 10 11 2 76 1 3 136237 295 0 17 19 4113 5725 0 1305 7174 5091 13 10 3 74 0 3 136237 629 0 19 9 4240 7442 0 1316 7200 5082 14 13 5 68 Does this look normal to anyone? From my limited understanding of vmstat it looks like: CPU utilization is maxed out I have blocked processes (the b column) The scan rate (sr) column is very high. The server has 1Gig of memory. I'm really not sure how to tell how much is allocated to the OS and how much is allocated to TSM. Does anyone have any ideas or pointers is tuning memory for AIX? Do I need a memory upgrade? I started checking this because my server response is horrible. Thanks. Denis
Volumes required for a restore
Does anybody know how I can see how many and which volumes will be needed for a restore. I know the show volusage command but this shows all the tapes that data for a particular node resides on. When I do a complete server restore I will be restoring only the active files. I would assume that this would hopefully be less tapes. A dsmc restore /* -preview=yes option would be nice. Any ideas?? Thanks, Denis L'Huiller 973-360-7739
Using Incremental Restores as a DR tool
I have a question.. We are currently going over our Disaster Recovery plans and will be doing a DR test in 2 weeks. The major issue is restore times. As a solution would it be possible to do Incremental Restores on the DR servers. For example.. on the unix servers set up a crontab to run once a day doing a point-in-time restore from the production server. This way when a Disaster occurs the restore time will be as long as an incremental. If we run the cron job after all the backups take place but before migration all the data should still be in the disk storage pool. This way we could do this for many DR servers at once.. To Clarify: Production Server = PRODUNIX DR Server = DRUNIX PRODUNIX runs an incremental backup every night and completes no later then 04:00. DRUNIX does a dsmc restore -pitd=xx/xx/xx -pitt=xx/xx/xx -subdir=yes /* once a day at 05:00. ( nodename produnix is in the dsm.sys of drunix ) Now when we need to restore the DR box 99% of the data is already there.. Does anybody see anything wrong with this plan??? Just an idea.. Thanks for any comments.. Denis L'Huillier

New server migration
Hello, I am planning to migrate my ADSM server to a new Server running TSM. ADSM 3.1.2.50 RS/6000 R20 (IBM 3466 B03) 3494 Library 3590 B1A drives- OLD SERVER TSM 3.7 RS/6000 H70 (IBM 3466 C01) - 3494 Library 3590 E1A drives - NEW SERVER AND NEW 3494 Here is my basic plan: From the old server: 1. Copy devconfig and volhist. Record db and log size from q log and q db 2. Initiate a full db backup then eject from library / insert in new Library From the new server: 1. Restore devconfig and volhist. 2. Format the db and log via: dsmserv format 1 logname sizeinMB 1 dbname sizeinMB 3. Restore the db via: dsmserv restore db todate=todays date From what I have read I will not have to do a upgrade db because when running on AIX this is done automatically. 4. Move all the tapes from the old 3494 to the new 3494. The part I am not sure of is the format db command. Is this necessary if I'm doing a restore db? How can I find out what my database name and recovery log name is? This is the output from q logvol: Volume Name CopyVolume Name CopyVolume Name Copy (Copy 1) Status (Copy 2) Status (Copy 3) Status -- -- -- /lgaa1dk2/lg Sync'd /lgaa1dk6/lg Sync'dUndef- ined This is the output from q log: Available Assigned Maximum MaximumPage Total Used Pct Max.

Would I have to issue this command for each recovery log volume and each db volume? I think I'm missing something here...

LOGCOPY'S and DBCOPY's

Does the "Copy 2" column automatically get created? Do I have to issue define dbcopy dbname copydbname for each one? If so how can I ensure that the copies are going to be made on different ssa disks/loops? Thanks, Denis
Server Migration
Hello.. I currently have 1 IBM 3466 B03, 1 IBM 3466 C30, and TSM on 390. The B03 is being replaced by a C01. B03 is a microchannel RS/6000 running ADSM 3.1.2.50 The C01 will be a PCI H70 RS/6000 running TSM 3.7.2.0. I will be responsible for migrating all the data from the B03 to the C01. Both Servers/3494's are at the same location so I think import/export may not be the fastest approach. Basically the swing over will take place over one weekend. Does anyone have any guidance as to what my approach should be to make the swing and migrate all the data over to the new machine? Transporting the old tapes to the new machine would not be a problem. The only difference between the new and old 3494 ATL will be the drives. The B03 has 3590 B1A's (4 of them) and the C01 will have 6 3590 E1A's. Please bare with me.. I'm new (TSM admin for 1 month). Thanks in advance... Denis
Re: MagStar Tape Library #3575 vs. LTO
A couple of things about IBM's LTO: 1. The life span of LTO is less then that of 3590 (3590 7yrs 3580 4-5yrs(I think)) 2. Currently LTO writes data in 384 Track format compared to 3590B1X at 128 Track and 3590E1X at 256 Track. This does 2 things for LTO. Increased data capacity (good and more chance of unrecoverable media errors (bad 3. LTO is much cheaper then 3590. 3590 and LTO are not really in the same league. LTO was introduced to be a obvious alternative to DLT, not 3590. 4. Access time on 3590 drives is much better. Basically, if your business requirements do not require you to keep archived data for 7 years (SEC requirements for Brokerage/Banks) then LTO may be the solution If you can deal with the slight performance loss. If you decide 3590 is the way to go look into IBM's new "starfire" drives. They are not available yet but coming very soon. They are the size of a LTO drive using 3590 (J/K Carts) media and many enhancements. They will also be cheaper then the current 3590 B/EXX drives. Also they will work very well with IBM's 3584 Tape Library. Much much much faster robotics then the 3494. Hope this helps...

Hung Sessions

Removed it from the server schedule (which was a clientaction schedule to initiate the backup in the first place). Tried to disable sessions. Recycled TSM and waited for about 10 minutes before I brought it back up. Whatever I try the session just reconnects itself.. It's almost getting annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
