Re: file creation date problem
If you copied the files, you are also losing the file permissions. You can download robocopy from Microsoft, or use xcopy from a win2003 or XP machine. (I don't think that the Win2K version copied security) Be sure to read the help files, both Xcopy and Robocopy need to be used with switches to do what you want. Or, test your restore procedures and restore the data to the new drive.

I don't see polls very much (don't believe I have seen any), in the three years I have been on this list but they are pretty popular on others. From time to time I have questions that really aren't problems, but more that I want to know if the things that I am doing are common practice or how many others are doing the same things. I know everyone is busy, so to the point. Do you run more than one tape/copypool? If so, how many more? Ours: 2 tapepools 2 copypools With DRM we have the standard tapepool with a copy to the copypool. I while back we had discussed needs for a second tape/copy pool for a much smaller group of backups with different management class and retention settings.

Re: Saving data on a defective cartridge
If the move fails at the same spot each time, and audit vol f=y doesn't help, then you might try using q content to see what the first few files are.

I started del vol discard=yes. Then I got a new idea. The discard is a background process which can be cancelled. I cancelled it and ran audit volume. Everything was fine because the offendig file was deleted! Unfortunately, 17000 files and 1.7 GB are lost because the idea came too late. I should have cancelled the process much earlier. In case you have the same problem I hope you will remember this mail and cancel the discard process earlier. Or is there an even better method? Our employers have made us trustees of our company's data. It is our responsibility to safeguard the data in the TSM storage pools, as it may be the only surviving copy of the data, and may have to be called back. That is what the TSM product is all about. Tape being tape (open to the environment and its surface exposed to mechanical forces) it is essential to employ Backup Stgpool as soon as possible after the client has sent data to the server, giving us that second copy, and by virtual of temporal adjacency, allowing us to alert the client to re-send any data wherein the Backup Stgpool cannot read the just-written primary tape. If at some later time the primary tape cannot be read, the second copy is my assurance. (And there may be a third, offsite copy.) My odd view is that I have no right to casually destroy data which does not belong to me, and therefore I take architectural steps to safeguard it. Richard Sims, BU

You can do a Select on the Contents table for the filespace; but there's
a lot of overhead in the query. I would instead try a quicker query:
assuming that the client data is Collocated, do a Query CONTent on the
volume it was more recently using (see Activity Log). A negative COUnt

On other backup products that are not as sophisticated as TSM, you just pull the tapes, set them aside and use new tapes. With TSM and it's database, it's not that simple. Pulling the tapes will do nothing, as the data will still expire from the database. The most obvious way to do this would be to: 1. Export the data to tapes store them in a safe location till some day. This looks like the best way on the surface, but with over 400TB of data in our TSM environment, it would take a long time to get done and cost a lot if they could not come up with a list of hosts/filespaces they are interested in. Assuming #1 is unfeasible, I'm exploring other more complex ideas. These are rough and perhaps not thought through all the way, so feel free to pick them apart. 2. Turn off expire inventory until the investigation is complete. This one is really scary as who knows how long an investigation will take, and the TSM databases and tape usage would grow very rapidly. 3. Run some 'as-yet-unknown' expire inventory option that will only expire data backed up ~since~ the date in question. 4. Make a copy of the TSM database and save it. Set the reuse delay on all the storage pools to 999, so that old data on tapes will not be overwritten. In this case, the volume of tapes would still grow (and need to perhaps be stored out side of the tape libraries), but the database would remain stable because data is still expiring on the real TSM database. To restore the data from one of those old tapes would be complex, as I would need to restore the database to a test host, connect it to a drive and pretend to be the real TSM server and restore the older data. 5. Create new domains on the TSM server (duplicates of the current domains). Move all the nodes to the new domains (using the 'update node ... -domain=..' ). Change all the retentions for data in the old domains to never expire. I'm kind of unclear on how the data would react to this. Would it be re-bound to the new management classes in the new domain? If the management classes were called the same, would the data expire anyways? Any other great ideas out there on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Ben

Any type you have to relocate with tape, your performance suffers. Generating backupsets can cause a lot of tape mounts with a lot of locates needed to get the active versions. Having this feature would eliminate tape performance issues with creating backupsets. Also file system restores would not have tape performance issues with the active versions. This would not break anything with TSM. It is really simple to get in a state where your disk pool has only active versions and your tape next storage pool has only inactive versions. Just migrate data to tape and run a selective backup of the filesystem. Voila, active versions on disk, only inactive on tape.

Zoltan, Shared Dynamic is a very powerful and very dangerous serialization option. Please make certain that the person who made the decision to use that understands the implications. This serialization option will try to back up a file 4 times and then save the file on the first try during which the file contents didn't change. The danger comes with files that continually change and potentially with applications that require multiple files to be synchronized, like databases. Net result - you may or may not be able to accurately restore those applications. The normal and accepted setting is Shared Static, as you had with the problem client. So you were fixing the one client that was configured properly when you should fix all the others. This will give an error if the file changes on all four attempts so that a human can decide what to do with the application backup. If your university IT personnel understand the implications of Shared Dynamic and choose to live with the restore consequences, then you can take the rest of the day off.

Client Computability list
On the old IBM-ADSM web site, when you looked up Client or server software, you were presented with a matrix listing versions, along with supported Operating Systems, Device lists etc. Everything you needed to know to determine which versions would work in your environment. It was really handy. Does such and animal exits on The Tivoli site, I've spent a lot of time trying to find the information, and I know that it's probably there, but I just can't seem to find any compatibility other than the most recent versions. I'd Like to see a list covering Both the 4.1.X and 4.2.X Clients and Servers, not just the latest. We are planning to migrate our desktops to Windows XP, and while most of our clients run on Nt or 2000 servers, we need to know which clients are certified on XP, and if they are listed as Compatible or Logo Certified. Is it a lot harder to find stuff on the Tivoli site than it was on the old IBM-ADSM site, or is it just me?
Re: TSM Database Tables
(From the ADMIN GUIDE) To help you find what information is available in the database, TSM provides three system catalog tables: SYSCAT.TABLES Contains information about all tables that can be queried with the SELECT command. SYSCAT.COLUMNS Describes the columns in each table. SYSCAT.ENUMTYPES Defines the valid values for each enumerated type and the order of the values for each type. For example, to get a list of all tables available for querying in the database, enter the following command: select * from syscat.tables -Original Message- From: Patricia LeBlanc [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 12:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:TSM Database Tables Anyone know where I can find (online) an updated copy of the TSM Database Tables?

When we upgraded our server a year and a half ago, we also upgraded our Tivoli from ADSM Ver. 3.1X to TSM Ver. 3.7X The method we chose was: 1.

Made sure that everything was working OK on the new server. 4. Upgraded ADSM on the old server to the same level TSM as the new server. 5.

Re: Scheduled Event Status when Pre or Post command fails
The Scheduled event is the backup, which was successful. The Pre-Post Schedule calls a script that runs outside the backup. The only time I have seen a failed TSM event due to failure of a Post schedule command was when the post schedule command hung due to a problem unrelated to TSM. The scheduled event was waiting for it's return code to continued, and finally reached it's commtimeout, which caused a report of failed.

Another Upgrade Question (Windows Platform)
I've been looking at the readme for Server Version 4.1.4.0 for Windows. I'm not sure of what's required to upgrade from Version 3.7 The Readme states that to upgrade from a previous 4.X version prior to 4.1.3 you first need to uninstall the previous version. Text of readme follows: *** * * $$3 Windows installation requires uninstallation of previous version for upgrade * *** * On the Windows platform, unwanted repairs of the registry effecting the server will occur if migration is allowed to occur from previously installed 4.x versions. The following procedure must be followed to successfully migrate to this new version. The procedure instructs you to uninstall your previous version, and to reinstall the license files after installing the new version. Since the readme states 4.X versions, does this mean that we can upgrade directly from Version 3.7 to 4.1.4.0? Or do we have to upgrade to 4.1.0.0, then uninstall, then install 4.1.4.0, then reinstall the license files? Signed Confused

If you are running the 4.1.1.x client, you need to use IP22088_16 (there is no IP22088_17 as far as I know), which corresponds to version 4.1.1.16. If you are running the 4.1.2.x client, you need to use IP22151_12, which corresponds to version 4.1.2.12. We also verified that the DST fix stayed fixed in this level.

WindowsNT Disk Imaging.
Quite awhile ago, Tivoli announced plans for Tivol Data Protection for Workgroups to support sending a disk image to, and retrieve a disk image from the TSM server. If I remember right, this was to be available shortly after the release of Version 4 server. Does anyone know if this is still in the works?
Re: Time line reporting
If you have accounting on, you can import the accounting log into a spreadsheet, It doesn't give the start time, but it does give the end time, and duration, so you can figure the start time. once you have that, you can chart it to make it easy to spot your slack and busy periods. If you haven't used the accounting log, check your admin guide on how to set accounting on, And for the contents of the different fields.

Window Client - Time Change bug
With Daylight Savings Time Change a month away, I figured it was about time to logon to the Tivoli download site to get the current V3.7 Client code with the Daylight Savings time change fix. All they have there is the 3.7.2 Client, which doesn't have the fix. Ok. They've had the fix test out for over 4 months now, isn't that enough time to test it and move it into production? I'd rather not load a test client onto my production servers. Well, I could always go the latest Version 4 client ... Oh yea, that one has been pulled. Why am I losing confidence here?
How to restore partitioning info on WindowsNT
Is there a way to recover the partitioning information on Windows? We had a case where one of our NT servers went down and failed to boot. The technicians were unable to repair the system, so they reloaded NT 4.0. The disk drives were raid 5 (at the hardware level) and partitioned at the OS level. When they brought up the new operating system, all partitioning information was lost. They reformatted and repartitioned the drives, and then had me restore the data.

Re: Help with Win2K Client Password in Registry
Just a guess, but if you're runing the scheduler service, you probably need run dsmcutil to update the password in the scheduler service. Try setting the Scheduler Service to manual, reboot, and see if the new password holds. If so, it's probably the scheduler service that is resetting the old password.

It's been running fine for months, with PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE in dsm.opt. THe scheduler service was backing up fine daily. Then we tried to change the password. Now when you start TSM (dsmc or dsmc sched or GUI), it prompts for the TSM password. When you give the password, it works fine. You can shut down TSM (dsmc or dsmc sched or GUI), and it doesn't prompt for the password if you start the TSM client again. Until you reboot. Then it doesn't know the password anymore. In dsmerror log I see this: 12/04/2000 06:42:46 ReadPswdFromRegistry(): RegOpenPathEx(): Win32 RC=2 Which just tells me it can't find the password in the registry, yes? I first upgraded the client from 3.1.0.6 to 3.7.2.01, and that didn't help. So I uninstalled the 3.7.2.01 client and did a complete reinstall. That didn't help. I have no clue how to fix this one. What makes a client not save its password across a boot?

We would like to utilize all 3 NIC cards for backups and restores, independently. We set up the cards according to SUN and everything seems fine on that end. However, when a backup starts off, it sends all data through the first NIC card and then when it receives data, it spans through all 3 cards. Our switch recognizes all 3 cards, but as soon as a backup begins on one of the other NICS - say for instance, 48.22, the MAC disappears and the switch no longer recognizes the card. We feel that there is something on the ADSM server side that we need to set up so that if we tell a client to do a backup and designate that the server has an IP address of xx.xx.48.22, that all communications will go through this NIC card and not touch the others. xx.xx.48.20 xx.xx.48.21 xx.xx.48.22 My question is, what is it that I need to set up on the ADSM server side, so that it uses each NIC card independently. I have placed the IP address in the opt file on the client end. Is there something that I need to do on the server end? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks Terry

Can someone think of an intelligent way to cover all scenarios.. Please let me know
