My goal is to move all the data belonging to a node from one active tape storage pool to another. Over time, with deletions and additions, the firs pool has become populated with much more data than the second, and as a result migrations are occuring outside their scheduled times. My environment: TSM for MVS 5.3.3.0 Running under z/OS v 1.7 I read the manual, and Quick Facts, where I saw this: *--- Node, move across storage pools Use 'MOVe Data', specifying a different storage pool; then reassign the node to the new stgpool's domain. But if a node shares tapes with other nodes: reassign it to the new stgpool, then let the data expire off of the old stgpool. *--- The nodes I want to move do share tapes with other nodes, so I figured that the second option was the way to go. However, that leaves this question: If the node has files that have existed for a long time and never changed, they would never expire off the old pool, so I would always be left with some files in the old pool, correct? How would I move those files without trying to identify them one by one? Here's an example: Trying to move files from NODE1, which is currently owned by the DOMAIN1 Policy Domain, from STGPOOL1 to STGPOOL2. The storage pools belong to separate domains (DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2), both of which have identical management class settings: * How many different versions of the file should be kept? This number of versions 30 Number of days to keep inactive versions This number of days 30 Deleted Files Number of file versions to keep This number of versions 30 Amount of time to keep the last file version This number of days 30 *-- Each node has files that haven't changed in more than 30 days, and probably will never change gain. Those files will never expire, so how do I move those? Thanks in advance for your assistance. - Kevin Kinder State of WV

Re: Second TSM Instance
I've been searching through IBMs site and the list archives and all I have
found on this topic was concerning UNIX. Is it possible to create a second
instance of TSM on a Windows 2003 server?

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Second TSM Instance
When we recently started with multiple instances (on aix),, I implemented it by
creating a directory for the each instance that contains the instance specific
files.
/tsmdata/tsminstance/config
I then created a soft link on the dsmserv binary to dsmserv_tsminstance in
the normal tsm bin dir. This way a ps -ef | grep dsm shows the symlink name.
In the config dir are scripts to start/stop the instance. Here is the start
script
for our instance TSM1.The actual tsm log and db are on raw volumes.
The dsmserv.opt and instance is setup to put volhist, dev config, accnt log,
etc, etc in the same directory.

Hi all,
I am planning to create a second instance in my TSM on Solaris 9. I have read
on the quick reference guide, that I have to export the following environment
variables:
DSMSERV_DIR
DSMSERV_CONFIG
To the new path of my second instance.
The change will affect to my first TSM instance...¿?
What does these environment variables do ¿?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ibán.

Check if paths are online. Check your devices at the OS level to see if
they are available, as opposed to defined.

So far, I haven't seen it migrate anything off.

The domino instances themselves have a different unix id for each instance. Each instance is logically separate with its own file systems, domino binaries and a tsm directory that contains domdsm.cfg, dsm.opt, logs and a security directory containing the TSM.PWD file for the instance. We can literally export a couple of volume groups and import them elsewhere to move a domino instance to another AIX lpar. Domino backups are scheduled using a command schedule, and in the script the backup is run under the unix ID for the instance. The problem is that when PASSWD GENERATE does its thing, the TSM.PWD file is deleted and re-created with the new password. This is done by the scheduler process and so the new TSM.PWD file has root ownership. Thus the backups fail as they can't access the new encrypted password. So, I've tried to fix this by running dsmc sched as the domino user, but I get ANS1817E Schedule function can only be run by a TSM authorized user. I've set up a TSM admin with node ownership, and I can run dsmc command line as the domino user, but not the scheduler. dsmcad won't work either. Is there any solution other than running everything as root or resorting to cron? I'd like to domino admins to be able to check logs and don't want them to have root access, but using separate users also has nice safeguards when it comes to restoring in the right environment.

If immediately, that is almost certainly what happened. But what is odd is that I've never noticed that occurrence before despite administering the system for the last seven years! No, the oldest version of the file doesn't just roll off. You have to run an inventory expiration to delete the pointer to the old file; once the pointer is deleted, and you meet your reclamation threshhold, the file indicated by the expired pointer will vanish when the volume it resides in is reclaimed and reused. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Office 262.521.5627

Re: How to get a tape drive to stream?
Hi Jack Here are a couple of scripts that give you the throughput for running processes and sessions : select cast(process_num as decimal(7,0)) as Process, - Process as Description, - time(start_time) as Start time, - cast(files_processed as decimal(15,0)) as Files, - cast(bytes_processed/1024/1024 as decimal(10,2)) as MBytes, - cast(bytes_processed/1024/cast((current_timestamp-start_time)seconds as decimal(10,0)) as decimal(7,2)) as KB/Sec - from Processes - where process'Expiration' select cast(session_id as decimal(7,0)) as Session, - client_name as Client, - cast(left(client_platform,10) as char(10)) as Platform, - cast(left(state,5) as char(5)) as State, - cast(wait_seconds as decimal(9,0)) as Wait secs, - time(start_time) as Start time, - cast(bytes_received/1024/1024 as decimal(10,2)) as MBytes rcvd, - cast(bytes_received/1024/cast((current_timestamp-start_time)seconds as decimal(10,0)) as decimal(7,2)) as KB/Sec - from sessions - where session_type='Node' Guillaume Gilbert Systems Specialist 514.866.8876 Office 514.866.0901 Fax 514.290.6526 BlackBerry [EMAIL PROTECTED] StorageTek Canada -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Coats, Jack Sent: January 26, 2005 11:59 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: How to get a tape drive to stream? Karel Bos Paul Banes, Thanks for the response! I will look into the 'correct' drivers and level of drivers as an issue. We did have to 'de-rate' the 160MB/sec controller to a 80MB/sec to get it to work (evidently a LTO problem working with SCSI communications at a higher rate). This was done with help from IBM support. (This is done in the controllers 'BIOS'.) Even at the 80MB/sec rate it should be more than enough to support two LTO drives. I even varied one of the drives offline on each controller, and got the same throughput rates. How do I know the speed? Just from observation. The amount of data in MB in a storage pool times its percent full, get a single tape backup started from that disk pool to tape. Wait till a decimal portion of the percentage full changes, log that time. Wait for an hour or so, then again check for the decimal portion of the percentage change. Calculate the number of MB that it represents, and divide by the time to get the rate. And I have done the similar thing for a database backup from start to end. It is a time consuming and manual process. I have also tried the storage pool comparison with multiple tape streams, and the rate per drive per unit of time is still consistent. In the past, I have checked the CPU and memory loads. The CPU is loafing, and memory does not seem to be taxed. The only disk issue I have seen is when doing some disk intensive work the i/o queueing to disk goes through the roof. (I am trying to get more spindles to help with this.) I only have TSM drivers installed on this box for the LTO drives. But I may have to do that. ...

Hi, First of all, I remember some issues with Adaptec cards, LTO drives and performance problems. If I recall correctly you have the install the correct driver version of some Adaptec cards from a fresh installation of Win2K to not get hit by that problem. Then, I can't get, what process are you running to check the performance of the drives. You have your DB, logs and diskpool volumes all on RAID5 sets. If you are running test, do you have some performance counters running on this like memory / cpu / disk IO? Some test to see if the TSM server is the bottle neck could be things like directly writing a large file to tape (from outside TSM). Last, but not least. Why version 4.3?

But does someone have a pointer to some 'tips tricks' or FAQ to help me get these LTO tape drives streaming with TSM on Windows 2000? The drives seem to be doing about 3MB/sec per drive, no matter what is going on in the server. This is about the right speed for stop/start programmed I/O processing. My config is TSM 4.3 on Windows 2K server (2 1.2G Xenon, 1G RAM) My SCSI attached LTO-1 drives are on Adaptec controllers (IBM branded), with two tape drives per controller. I have 3 identical SCSI controllers with two drives each (one also has my 3583 library on it). Disks (6 72G 10K drives, in two partitions) are attached to one RAID card, and are RAID 5. I can't get just running a single tape drive streaming, with nothing going on in my system (db backup only, no backups, no
Re: client option sets
Include your file specification in double quotes, since it contains spaces.

Do I have to restart my node's client or sched in order for such a change to take affect. I am pretty sure the syntax is correct because they worked fine when used in a local dsm.opt incl/excl file. I could always just restart the services on the windows 2000 client but I wanted to run it by the list to make sure that everything else looked fine instead of waiting for my backups to run again. R.
