Re: Large disk concerns/alternatives ?
My money is on the SATA disk pool. I ran into something similar with many spindles of SATA disk and was expecting it to fly. nope. We found out that not only was the disk I/O not as expected but that device the disks were in only had 2 I/O ports that were supposed to be in failover mode. But we had both running at over 80% utilization !!! Replaced that external box with some internal drives and controllers and then the system starting moving data.

Re: server to server authentication
You need to issue the"help def server" command and look at the 2nd syntax, for virtual volumes, it uses a different syntax for setting passwords.

Re: Tapes appear not present in library, but are physically in the library ????
The first thing I would check is that the tapes are not still in the drives via ACSLS command 'q dr all' and 'q vol '. The 'q vol' will give you the status and location of the volume. When you say you ran an audit, was it an ACSLS audit or a TSM audit? We've had problems where the drive never actually ejected the tape.

I have narrowed it down to 6 tape drives within the library, most of which are happening on 3. As you see below the tape is mounted/dismounted ok and then several hrs. later it is requested to be mounted again and it says it's not present in the library when in fact it is. I have been looking at 25 tapes for this past week which have experienced this issue and it is all the same. The tape is physically in the library (I have checked through ACSLS which is the software that controls the SUN SL8500) and we also did an audit of the library at the beginning of the week to resolve this issue, but that doesn't appear to have helped. I'm having the vendor of the tape drives check out the 6 drives to see if it is a hardware issue with the drives or a robot in the library or something... but I can't pinpoint what is causing this issue yet.

Slow TSM DB Performance?
Ultimately i'm trying to run an import on 23 LTO tapes which is going too slow and i'm trying to determine why. When it first started for the first 16 tapes or so, I was seeing 30MB/sec+ import speed. On Friday I noticed a lot of I/O activity on hdisk0 which is where the TSM DB is located and thought maybe i could achieve higher import speeds if I striped that JFS2 file system across both the internal hdisks. Thats where my troubles began.. I managed to arrange this through a series of AIX commands creating a new striped fs and creating/deleting dbv's but when done, performance was worse. I put it back to how it was and performance has not recovered. I now tried putting the DB on a raw partition and still performance isn't any better. I'm not sure where to go from here. hdisk0 where the raw partition is located is still pegged (see below). A q stgpool takes quite a while to come back and ultimately i'm importing at a rate of about 6MB/sec now. The bad news is i'm on tape 17 of 23. Tapes were taking about 7 hours to import at 30MB/sec and i suspect we're now importing at a rate of 1/5 of that so lets call it 28 hours per tape. If true, the remaining tapes will take 7+ more days to import. My one idea is i could dump and load the DB to reorg it (perhaps thats causing the slowness?) but that would involve halting the import and starting it over - something that would also cost me 3-4 days or so. So it may be worth it but I don't even know if that's the root of the problem. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Oh, this server has no data on it and does not do any backups/restores.

large files not restoring..
I setup a new AIX 5.3 server and created a JFS2 file system of substantial size. However, when I restore a directory of Notes NSF files (TSM archive of a UNIX directory of NSF files), some files are failing to restore with the message "file over user or system size limit". I'm not sure what's causing this. I suspect it's something incorrect in the file system creation? I don't think there are any user quotas by default when you install AIX 5.3. Appreciate any help i'm sure i'm missing something silly.

DB Recovery Problem
When doing a "./dsmserv restore db devc=ts1120 vol=MA0001 commit=yes" I get the following error which seems as though TSM can't locate the cartridge even though it's in the library.. I've even tried manually putting it in the drive and kicking off the restore db command but it simply ejects the cartridge and returns it to slot 1025 and still errors with the following.. I have tried both "MA0001" and "MA0001JA" but neither does it.. Any thoughts on whats wrong? I'm running out of ideas..

Microsoft Virtual Servers
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm looking for a good method to backup the host system and virtual servers on a system running Microsoft Windows 2003 server hosting about 6 virtual servers. 1) I guess I can install a TSM client on each virtual server and on the host use the exclude command to skip their HD files. 2) I would prefer to only backup the host system using Open File Support. Does it work in this environment? 3) Are there any other options I'm not dreaming of ? Thanks for any and all responses. Gerald Michalak [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RoadMap?
Is there a TSM roadmap posted someplace? Having trouble finding it.. i.e. whats the next version, when is it coming out, what features will it have? Thanks!

Which copy to restore?
We just finished a DR drill and ran into an interesting issue. We are running TSM V5.2 on AIX 5.2. The primary TSM server is creating 2 copies of data in copy storage pools. One copy is on tape and going to offsite storage, the other copy is being stored on another TSM server in another office 30 miles away. I am using the backup storage pool command to send the data to the 2nd site. During the drill, we restored the primary server at an out of state site. But we still had network access to the rest of the corporate network back home including the 2nd copy of the data. During the client restores the recovered TSM server repeatedly tried to restore from the 2nd site instead of using the recalled tapes in the local library. The restores were PIT restores and when I made the 2nd site volumes unavailable the data was recovered from the tapes. So, how does the TSM server decide which copy of data to restore when there are 2 copies??? Gerald Michalak TSM - Certified V5 Administrator

How to determine primary pool volumes required for a copy pool volume?
The scenario is I have a copy pool tape that was accidently damaged. I would like to know which primary pool tapes I would need to recreate this copypool tape. The first obvious way is to run a backup stgpool preview=yes command however that will ALSO show other volumes out of sync and doesn't really give me the mapping directly to the 1 volume. Is there a select query I can run where the input is the copypool volume and it returns the primary pool volumes? I am pretty sure I used to have this query and can't located it now that I need it. Appreciate the help!

Re: Detect whether L700 tape library unavailable
The L700 does have an optional "personality" module which allows the
library to be connected to the network. You can then open a browser to this
address and see the whole library, slots, drives, i/o ports, errors.
We have it on all our L700 libraries.
Also, I've created a Perl script which uses the lbtest command to get the
list of tapes in the i/o slots. ( see below ) It may not be pretty but it
works.
I use this list in scripts to checkin offsite tapes and load/label new
scratch tapes.

Re: 3494 Library Sharing
Just setup the Storage Agents as you normally would. The only exception is that you create the paths on the TSM Library Manager.

Import Node
I've been given a large number of tapes to import that are TSM exports. I notice the import process requires you to import them in the order they were exported. The problem is I don't know what that order is. I tried my first tape and it was sequence 4 when it wanted sequence 1. Apparently I need to figure out the order. Is there some way to do this soley from the tapes? I attempted to run an import command with preview=yes against each tape since it gripes and tells me the sequence when it fails. I was hoping it would become clear on what the order is. Unfortunately there are multiple occurances of sequences.. more then one sequence 2, 3, 4, etc.. So i'm not sure this strategy is paying off. If anyone has done this before and has an easy way to identify what import order to use please let me know. Thanks!
Re: tsm
Chances are it's not a TSM issue at this point but a network issue. Usually speeds this slow on a GB infrastructure indicate that "auto-negotiation" is not working. ( never does ).

Re: query libv confusion
You will need to do 2 audits, 1 within the ACSLS software and 1 from TSM. The rule of thumb I have is that the ACSLS audit will take about 5 seconds per tape. ( 12 tapes per minute, 800 / 12 = 66.67 minutes ) just over an hour. Then the TSM audit library should simply exchange data with the ACSLS server, a few minutes I would guess.

Re: 3590 Drive Problem
Bingo! I thought i'd checked all the ends but when I went to remove the short cable daisy-chaining the one good drive to the one bad drive, I found a bent pin on the end of the cable I had not previously checked. I was removing it because the first device was working in the chain and the second was not. Perhaps the cable itself was bad I thought. Turns out it was just a bent pin..

3590 Drive Problem
I have a drive that from AIX lists as available. In TSM when i try to
define a path to the drive I get an "ANR8420E DEFINE PATH: An I/O
error occured while accessing drive DRIVE1." and a "ANS8001I Return
code 15.". Then below is what appears in the AIX error report.
I've doublechecked that the cabling and terminator looks ok and it
does. There is another 3590-H drive daisy-chained to this problem one
that is operating properly. The problem drive has been power cycled
and comes up fine (3590-H drive) but the described problem is still
repeatable.
Appreciate any ideas on how to proceed to troubleshoot this problem.
I'm thinking a service call for the drive is next..?

Re: Run out of scratch tapes
You have a catch-22 here. You need at least 1 scratch tape to run reclamation. If you don't have any, then you have to create one. Find your least used tape and issue a "move data stgpool=" to move the data to disk. When that's done, delete the volume, " del vol ", that should make it a scratch tape. Then set reclamation value on the tape pool to 90 or lower. "upd stg recl=90".

Re: Log pinned, filled, almost crashed
Here's the technote. Problem Long-running sessions with poor throughput or hung sessions can cause the recovery log to become pinned. This can ultimately result in the TSM Server abending due to an over-committed recovery log. Cause Solution The THROUGHPUTDATATHRESHOLD and THROUGHPUTTIMETHRESHOLD options were introduced to help prevent hung sessions or long-running sessions from pinning the recovery log for any extended period of time. When the THROUGHPUTDATATHRESHOLD and THROUGHPUTTIMETHRESHOLD options are specified in the dsmserv.opt file, the TSM Server will check the status of a client session after the session has been running for X amount of time, where X is the time specified for the THROUGHPUTTIMETHRESHOLD. If the average throughput for this session does not meet or exceed the value specified for THROUGHPUTDATATHRESHOLD, then the session will be cancelled by the TSM Server, thus preventing the recovery log from becoming over-committed.

BA Client - Restoring with an exclusion list?
I believe the answer is no, but can anyone think of a way to restore all files of a particular extension by using a wildcard in conjunction with the cmdline *except* certain files? e.g. I want to restore all NSF (lotus notes database) files backed up on a shares file system. Normally i'd specify something akin to "\...\*.nsf" but I know certain NSF files i don't care about.. for instance, I don't want any "names.nsf" files. Is there any way to restore all NSF's except "names.nsf" and others if i had a list of files i didn't want to restore? -- -Gerald
Re: Audit Vol not working
Do a "q libv" on this volume and verify it's in the correct slot. Or just run an "audit libr checkl=barcode" and see what happens.

Restoring Netware File System Data to Windows 2000?
Is it possible? My initial attempt says no.. I tried running the BA client 5.2.4, configured it to a node that was a backup of a netware file server, and couldn't get it to display any files such that i could select and restore them. That surprises me a bit since I figured both OS's are essentially DOS based - though I didn't try configuring a FAT32 file system. Thanks!
Re: Restore Requesting Copypool tape first?
> > If you delete the primary volume, doesn't the copy pool data get > > released also? > > Right you are, Andy. That is indeed what should happen. This is TSM 5.2.x btw. Interesting.. if the primary pool volume is deleted, would it remove references to the files on the copypool volume such that a restore wouldn't restore those files by asking for the copypool volume? Or does that depend on before/after expiration or before/after reclamation of the copypool volume? in other words, when do you actually lose access to those files if you delete the primary pool volume?

Restore Requesting Copypool tape first?
I have a restore thats asking for the copypool tape first. Tape 0261DC. I'm a bit surprised by this since i'd think that there would be some mention in the acitivty log of it asking for a primary pool tape first before defering to a copypool tape. In this case it doesn't. What i'm normally used to seeing is some mention of a request of a primary pool tape, but that it can't mount it due to it's status being "unavailable" before requesting the copy pool tape. The below shows how a restore seems to go right for the copypool tape. Can anyone think of a scenario where if all primary pool tapes were marked "unavailable" that it would still ask for a copypool tape without first asking for a primary pool tape? 03/15/05 08:09:06 ANR0406I Session 3445 started for node FWAMEML114_EXCH (TDP MSExchg) (Tcp/Ip 10.1.83.194(3682)).

Re: STK 9940B Tape Drive Exp with TSM?
We are using the 9940B drives in a STK Powderhorn silo. We have 20 drives shared between 2 TSM servers using the Gresham software. As to the reliability, I've seen the same problems quoted by others. However, these seem to dissipate with use, like a long painful burn in period. Right now we still average 2 stuck tapes per month in these drives. These require a service call to have a tech come out and remove the tape. The Gresham software seems solid with some nice utilities to help manage the drives. You'll learn to love/hate the qlock_drive utility, as it shows which drives are locked to which server. If the process that locked the drive, expires ??, then you will have to manually issue unlock and dismount commands. Some additional maintenance but we have monitoring scripts that page us when something happens. Good Luck.

Notes TDP 5.1.5
A question regarding TDP if anyone knows for sure.. The way the Notes TDP replays incremental logs is it pulls down a single 64MB TXN file at a time, replays those transactions, then pulls the next one down (restores). It's a pretty slow process that spends most of the restore time actually replaying the transactions. The restore of those single TXN files is quick and dirty. If a restore takes 12 hours to do the incremental portion, most of those 20 hours isn't restoring the actual TXN files but rather replaying the data between each TXN file. Does anyone know if theres a quicker way? Perhaps i can selectively restore all TXN files and dump them to disk someplace, then initiate a Notes command to replay them straight off disk, taking TSM out of the equation and more importantly, freeing up the drive for another job?
TDP for Notes Restore Problem
We have Lotus Notes backups done with the TDP 5.1.5 (Notes v5.x). Back in January the server name was called "TEST". In March, the server was renamed to "TEST-OLD" and we continued to do backups by creating a new node "TEST". So now we have data from Jan through March under "TEST-OLD" and from March on called "TEST"... We have not expired any data since since January.. Our normal rotation is to do a weekly full and daily incrementals. There is a problem though that i'm finding. The first full backup for TEST was done March 15th. The server rename was done on March 7th. Now when I look back i see: March 1st - Full taken now under TEST-OLD March 2-7 - Incrementals now under TEST-OLD March 8-14 - Incrementals now under TEST March 15 - Full taken now under TEST So the question is whether or not March 8-14 can be restored? It seems not unless someone has any ideas. TSM thinks there is no full for TEST prior to the 15th so how can it? Have we lost access to the data on these dates?
Querying What tapes you need for a restore?
Is there a way to query a list of tapes needed for a given restore prior to doing the restore such that you can ensure all those tapes are in your library prior to kicking off the restore? I think the normal mode of operation is if you were to do a restore that involved several tapes and some tapes were in your library and some were not, it would move along fine with those tapes it has but the restore would halt and issue a mount request for those that aren't in the library. I'd like to avoid that mount request and just ensure all the tapes are in the library beforehand. Gerald This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.

Lotus Notes TDP Question
When restoring with the Notes TDP, I notice the files according to the GUI will have one date (e.g. 1/2/02) but when I restore them, they end up with today's date/time. I.e. the modification date/time is not preserved through the course of the restore. Is this the normal behavior? I am a bit surprised by it and wondering if there's some way to preserve it.

Tape Volumes Needed for a Restore
If I load the TSM GUI and select a few directories to restore, is there some way to determine which tapes will be required to satisfy that restore? A sort of preview=yes option for restores? Or how would you determine which tapes you need given a point in time restore of an entire server? Thanks, Gerald This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.

ANR0548W Retrieve or restore failed
Thanks.. Turns out I figured out what that error meant in my case. I was doing a wildcard restore which is considered a "no query restore" since I'm using a wildcard instead of specifying the actual file names. TSM is simply telling me which files were unavailable. So I used the GUI to restore the actual files in that directory using a point in time and I get a different error, ANR0548W. Now I did a quick "q vol" on these volumes and they are all a part of my onsite backup pool. The tapes that I have are offsite copypool tapes. According to the below help on ANR0548W if I retry the operation it should ask for the copypool tape. It doesn't.. it just spits out the same below errors again. I'm guessing that either I have a problem with my DB or tape (less likely), the data isn't in a copy pool at all (equally unlikely) or the offsite copypool volume it wants is status unavailable and perhaps TSM just doesn't tell me that's the root of the problem? I would really like to make it so it requests the copypool tape first and not my primary pool's tapes. Is there someway of doing this? My database is huge (100GB). I set my primary pool volumes all to access destroyed. I set those tapes that I do have (some offsite ocpypool tapes that I care about) to acc=reado. Just seem to be having trouble getting the data to restore now. ANR1424W Read access denied for volume A00773 - volume access mode="destroyed".

Offsite Volume?
I have a TSM 5.1.x server where I have a handful of tapes. They are a part of an offsite storage pool. I do not have the onsite storage pool tapes. If I try to do a restore of this data, TSM tries to mount the onsite tapes. What should I do to get TSM to ask for the offsite ones? Don't I just set the onsite ones to acc=destroyed and the offsite ones to acc=reado and voila, TSM should ask for the right tape?

Querying the date a file was backed up
I've got a volume that I've done a query content on. I can't tell what date the files were backed up that are on that volume though. A Q content gives me the node name, type, filespace name, fsid, and client's name for file. I'm thinking I have to do a select query to pull this off but somehow I need a method to figure out what date the objects in a query content for a volume were backed up. Any suggestions? The closest I've come is I got a ballpark date by doing a select * from volumes for the volume which tells me when it was last written to. It doesn't give me the date of an individual item though. I need a finer level of granularity. Appreciate the help!

TSM TDP for Notes Experts?
I wanted to ask something more specific as I'm not very strong in regards to Lotus Notes and their backups/restores. I have old backups of a Notes 5.x server that were supposedly taken with a TDP for Notes v1.1.x.. 1. Is it possible to restore those restores with the latest TDP for Notes (5.1.x)? 2.

Data Protection Agent for Notes
Does anyone have a good understanding of the Lotus Notes Data Protection Agents and their history?

If I have backups of a Notes 5.x server that were originally taken with 1.1, can I restore with 2.1 or 5.1 as well?

Exchange TDP Query Question
TSM TDP for Exchange v5.2.1 I'm running the following query using the TDP's cmdline executable -> tdpexcc q tsm * /AL /FROMEXCSERV="*" Would that in theory show me ALL exchange server backups that the TSM database knows about for ALL exchange servers? I realize if there are v1.1.1 backups, this 5.2.1 client would not show those and I'd need to do a similar query with v1.1.1 to see those. But 5.x is backwards compatible with 2.x so minimum I'm trying to query a complete and comprehensive list of what backups TSM has for all exchange servers..

Moving TSM from one platform to another
Is it possible to move from MVS to AIX without having to export all client node data so long are your storage device is the same on both environments? i.e. if my current environment has 2000 tapes full of client data, and I want to move my environment from MVS to AIX, do I essentially have to export 2000 tapes, create 2000 new tapes, and import those 2000 new tapes to my AIX environment to read the client data (thus creating another 2000 tapes)? Or would the present 2000 tapes be readable from the AIX environment as long as I export the server without the filedata and import it into the AIX environment (and have the same type of device connected to the AIX server of course)? In other words I'm trying to gauge how much work it is to move TSM from one platform to another.. If I remember correctly it's ugly and you do have to export all the client data as well..

Exporting a TSM Server Across Platforms
If I have a TSM server on an MVS environment backing up Lotus Notes servers running AIX, and I'd like to migrate my TSM server environment to an AIX platform, if I recall the steps are fairly straight forward and this is not a difficult task. Put simply it's: 1. Do an export of the TSM Server on the MVS environment to tape. 2. Move the library to the new AIX server 3. Do an import of the previously made export on the new AIX server 4. voila.. done.. all Notes/AIX restores/tapes are now restorable. Specifically I don't believe it's necessary to export all the client data but you only need to export the TSM server itself right? In other words you cannot restore a TSM DB tape created from the MVS environment to an AIX environment. You actually have to export the server to move between environments in this manner. And you don't need to do it for all the client data, though I suppose you could.. Is that correct? This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.

Re: TSM and DR
You guys are reading into the question WAY more then need be =). It was a scenario question and all time lines were made up to drive home the point of what I was trying to get at, and that's the potential for expire inventory to expire data you maybe don't want expired. Even if your turn around for a true disaster is supposedly 48 hours, I would imagine you'd still be interested in what the question was getting at (if nothing else, just to be aware of how TSM works if it was a concern). Also it's a good point that you'd probably only be interested in ACTIVE files when recovering your environment but none the less, humor me and assume you're also interested in ensuring no INACTIVE version is lost. In that case what can one do to ensure no data is expired AT ALL? The only thing I can think of is to ensure expire inventory never runs. The dsmserv.opt entry would help prevent that prior to recovering the database but what about any admin schedules that might've been defined? Is it possible to disable client and admin scheduling without first starting TSM? Gerald -Original Message- From: Prather, Wanda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 10:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM and DR I agree with prior comments that you should have tapes available for DR that are more current than 3 months back. However, in MOST cases, even if expiration runs it probably won't cause problems; TSM is NEVER going to be expiring the ACTIVE files associated with a node. And in MOST cases for DR, you are trying to get your client machines restored to the latest possible level. Now where you get in trouble, is if you let the client run a new BACKUP, before you have restored everything you need. When the client runs, it will flag any files not on the hard drive as being expired, and that may have side effects you don't want. So I would say in a DR situation you should turn off your client schedules. -Original Message- From: Gerald Wichmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM and DR Say for a moment you're faced with recovering a TSM server in a DR situation. You have your DB backup and copypool tapes and perform a database recovery. If that DB was created back in January and it's now March, isn't there a potential for objects getting expired the first time you start the TSM server? E.g. when the TSM server is started it typically performs an expire inventory as part of that sequence.

TSM Client Query
We frequently get tapes from other sources and are expected to restore them. The problem I'm finding is the original environment sends me their TSM database and it may have restores for a given server (say SERVERA) going back a year (so lets say 365 backups that the TSM DB is aware of). Now they only send me 200 tapes and I'm faced with figuring out which of those backups that the DB knows about for SERVERA do I *actually have*? I realize this is probably a perfect candidate for a select query or macro where I pass in a list of volumes and it spits out what backup dates it knows about. Something I'll have to figure out how to determine. Similarly I'm curious though whether this is doable with Agent backups (specifically Exchange).. Anyone develop something like this so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? Any thoughts? Appreciate the help lately. Thanks!

TSM 4.2 and Exchange TDP 1.1.1
I was just looking at my Exchange TDP output and have it showing all exchange backups ever created. It shows directory backups and information store backups (full and incremental. exchange 5.5). Is there someway I can query our output this list of backups to a text file? On the TDP side I don't see anything in the GUI. I'm guessing I need to do something with the TDP cmdline to query a list of this (with dates) so I can hand this to someone and get an idea of what to restore. Time to read some notes but if someone knows off the top of their head how to do this I'd appreciate the info.

LTO throughput - real world experiences
I'm curious as to what kind of MB/sec throughput people are seeing with TSM and LTO drives. I realize your mileage may vary and that it depends on your configuration but lets face it most of us have somewhat similar environments. A disk pool and tape pool. A mixture of file system data as well as database data. How many MB/sec does a migration process produce in your environment? Does anyone have any DB's streaming directly to LTO and some figures?

TSM 4.2.1 and a Manual drive
I've been playing with my single external LTO drive and having problems with the good ole "insufficient mount points available" error. I know getting TSM to work with a manual drive is quirky and am probably missing something but I'm able to label a cartridge fine using label libv so I assume the drive is defined properly and working. However whenever I try a migration or run a backup that forces a migration I get the insufficient mount points error. My devclass has DRIVES for mount limit.. I've also tried "1" there but it didn't help. My node in question has maxnump set to 1 which should be fine too. Looking for other suggestions if anyone has any.. I searched the adsm list archive and someone had mentioned doing a "reply" and that I had to mount the tape but that doesn't seem to be the case here. It never puts for a request for me to reply to. I've tried it both with the tape in the drive and without it in the drive. The tape has been labeled successfully but nothing shows up under "query libv" or "query vol". Far as I know you don't have to check in a manual tape do you? Maybe that's my problem..

Recovering a TSM 4.2.1 server
I've been given an LTO tape that is supposedly a TSM DB backup. The external barcode label reads SU3689L1, which I assume is also the volume name as TSM would see it. My intention is to recover the TSM database by doing a dsmserv restore db. I do not have the volume history file or anything else from the original server, so I created my own devconfig file and have a single LTO tape drive connected and defined. Judging by the admin guide, the next step I need to do is a dsmserv display dbbackupvolume devclass=tapeclass vol=SU3689L1, however it comes back and errors out.. ANRD assd.c(1040): ThreadId<0> Unexpected result code (15) from pvrAcquireMountPoint. ANRD icstream.c(1606): ThreadId<0> Error 87 opening input stream. ANR2032E DISPLAY DBBACKUPVOLUMES: Command failed - internal server error detected. I guess my primary question is whether some of my assumptions and techniques are correct or not? Particularly on the volume name as I realize the barcode doesn't necessarily equal the digital tape volume name stored on the tape. Still is that a good assumption? Is it case sensitive? Am I doing something obviously wrong? For now I'm going to verify the tape drive works by putting in a blank tape and attempting to write some data to it using TSM. If that works I'll return to trying to recover the DB. Appreciate any help/feedback.

Re: TSM & AIX compatibility
True perhaps I could but you must see what I'm getting at.. would I want to? At that point I'd personally prefer to buy a pSeries based on the power4 architecture over power3 if I'm only looking at new servers. They're significantly more powerful and yet similar in price (sometimes cheaper). I must admit I have an ulterior motive to asking the question. I am anticipating having the need to recover customer data in the future, based on obtaining a copy of their TSM database and tapes. If I purchase a server for this purpose and it utilizes the power4 architecture, I'm not going to be able to process any customer's data based on TSM 4.2 on AIX 4.3. Probably in my case it makes more sense to buy a power3 architecture server to be more versatile.

How to tell which tapes a restore requires?
Let me ask my question a different way. If I do a restore, the server requests certain tapes to be mounted if they are offline and not physically in the library.

I believe both these questions involve a select statement and have been discussed before so someone should have them handy.

DB2 Backups on Solaris 8 Wrong documentation?
According to the Backing up DB2 PDF for backing up DB2 on Solaris, on page 92 step 2 it says: 2. The /etc/system must have, as a minimum, the following values. Modify them as necessary, then reboot. set lwp_default_stksize = 0x4000 set rpcmod:svc_run_stksize = 0x4000 set semsys:seminfo_semmap = 50 set semsys:seminfo_semmni = 50 set semsys:seminfo_semmns = 300 set semsys:seminfo_semmnu = 150 set semsys:seminfo_semopm = 50 set semsys:seminfo_semume = 50 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl = 125 The above svc_run_stksize parameter throws an error during Solaris boot that says something to the effect of it being an invalid parameter. Is this a typo in the book? Should it actually be svc_default_stksize? Looking at -> http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-6779/6jfmsfr7h?q=set+rpcmod <http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-6779/6jfmsfr7h?q=set+rpcmod&a=view> &a=view I don't see an svc_run_stksize Anyone? IBM??

Image Backups
-How does an "online" image backup work exactly in regards to open files? According to the docs, "Corruption of the backup may occur if applications write to the volume while the backup is in progress. In this case, run fsck after a restore." So say this occurs.. What do you end up with backed up in the case of that file that was written during the backup? The before version or the after version? Or some hybrid fuzzy file after the restore? I don't entirely see what good running fsck is going to be on a file that the bytes changed in the middle of backing it up. Isn't the image just backing up at the bit level and doesn't really pay attention to open files or changing bytes? I guess I'd just like to hear more info on how an "online" image backup would work. -under "offline and online image backup" it also says "For linux86 only: TSM performs an online image backup of file systems residing on a logical volume created by the linux logical volume manager during which the volume is available to other system applications". Can I infer that if I am just using reiserfs that I cannot then do an online image backup - only an offline via the device itself? -I find it interesting that you can do an incremental image backup and not entirely sure how that works either. Isn't an image backup just backing up the filesystem bit by bit? How does it know which bits changed or which files? If I read this correctly, it only works with lvm's. It says "Two types of backup only apply to logical volumes: mode=selective (the default) and mode=incremental.". So in the case of linux, if you're using reiserfs I'm guessing you can't do an incremental image backup. You'd have to use ext3 or something similar.

Re: TSM with library & 1 drive
1. Nothing wrong with it per say.. It works great. You'll have to allocate some disk space for your reclamation pool but in my experience it works well. Also there are the obvious limitations that having only 1 drive presents such as when someone requests a restore, if their data is on tape and another user is already doing a restore they'll have to wait for that drive to free up. Also similar potential limitations in backup or migration of data. No redundancy so if the drive dies you're out of luck until it's fixed or replaced (can't backup or restore any data to/from tape). The same things you'd bring up if you were considering 2 drives vs 3.. or 4.. The NEED for 2 drives over one is mostly a throughput, redundancy, and availability issue. 2. nothing wrong with an autoloader.. works just like a tape library more or less.

Re: Temporary Backup
By creating a new management class with the appropriate retention settings for the domain that node is assigned to, then on that node add an include statement appropriately pointing to that managementclass.. e.g. include /somefilesystem/.../* newmanagementclassname include /somefilesystem/* newmanagementclassname everything for that filesystem will use the retention settings of the new mgmtclass.

Re: 15 domains into 3.
Nope.. whats the actual question though? Assigning your nodes to a different domain isn't a big deal but you've got a lot of legwork to do to figure out what each of your node's uses as management classes, what domains they are assigned to, what all the in-use management classes are (and their respecting copygroup settings), and then recreate that all in the new 3 domains such that when you DO reassign the node, it simply rebinds the data and doesn't expire anything. Of course doing this is going to affect EVERYTHING including schedules, option sets, etc etc.. so the main work is just taking a comprehensive inventory of your server and planning it all out beforehand.

Yes that's actually a typo (the "lb" in places where it should be "op" or "mt"). My conf files are correct in that sense (i.e. I wasn't cutting/pasting them).

Re: TSM storage problem
I would imagine it should be fine installing it afterwards.. It should just dump various "*.lic" files into the TSM server directory. The license files are only available off the base cd.. i.e. 5.1.0, or 4.2.0, or whichever version you have. If you download an update like 5.1.1, it doesn't include the license files. That's why when you do a fresh install you always start with the base level off the cd, then upgrade it with the update. So you get the license files installed. I'd first check if there are *.lic files in the directory and try licensing it with the command below. If that doesn't work it probably wasn't installed. If that doesn't work then next I would halt the TSM server (type halt at TSM admin prompt or if you're using windows, stop the TSM server service), install the license files, and then start the TSM server again (in windows, the TSM server service). Then try registering it as below. IF you're uncomfortable doing it you could always call Tivoli support and have them walk you through it but it's pretty painless. Doubt you'd hurt anything as TSM is pretty resilient.
