Re: Cristie BMR vs Tivoli Fastback for BMR
Hello Eric, We are using CBMR (without TSM initially) and TBMR now for many years without any problems. We have restored a few production servers after real crash including dissimilar configuration. After moving to VMware there is no problem at all. We have just uploaded TBMR ISO images to all VMware hosts to speed up recovery (without CD-ROM drive). Support from UK is very good. Licenses and support are not free, but they have some specially license policy for VMware to reduce cost in comparison with standalone licenses. In addition, they have presented Recovery Simulator recently. It allows to simulate recovery in VMware environment (backup testing without touching real VMs) for most valuable VMs or keep it scheduled at all. I have no experience with FastBack and couldn't compare products.

Re: Strange tcp_address value
Most possible you have IP duplication clients. Windows is selecting some strange addresses in this case. Please check client configuration (preffered) by ipconfig /all and try to restart TSM services on clients.

The same address appears in the corresponding output fields from 'query node' with 'format=detailed'. This address does not belong to my employer. All of the network interfaces on the TSM server have addresses in one the officially defined private address ranges. This has been the case since the TSM server code was first installed. Given that, I don't see how a system with the address 192.168.30.4 could ever have connected to the TSM server. I see session start messages for both nodes on a daily basis. There are no error messages for these sessions except for an occasional expired password message. Even when that happens, subsequent sessions run without errors, indicating that a new password was negotiated successfully. The origin addresses for the sessions look perfectly reasonable. They are in the same private address range as the TSM server addresses, and in the right subnet for the building the client systems are in. Every relevant statement I have found in the TSM documentation indicates that the tcp_address field should be updated to match the session origin address. When the TSM central scheduler attempts to request a backup of one of the nodes it attempts to contact an address in the same subnet as the session origin addresses. The TSM server is running TSM 6.2.5.0 server code under zSeries Linux. The two clients are running Windows XP and using TSM 6.2.2.0 client code. The two clients are administered by the same group of people. Does anyone know where the strange address could have come from, or how to get the TSM to track the node addresses correctly in the future?

Thank you very much for response. I agree with you totally, but estimated capacity is wrong in TSM for many primary pools allocated on Data Domain VTL. For example, for 128 tapes with size 64GB (max 8192GB) it gives Estimated Capacity: 18,191 G. Any comments?

Essentially the estimated capacity is assigned to the tape when it is allocated to a stgpool and loaded into the drive. This value is determined from the device classEst/Max Capacity (MB) TSM will not update the capacity again untill it has reached the End Of Tape. I have put in an rfe 31662 so that TSM would (better) estimate tape capacity. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfeCR_ID=31662 The best solution would be to align the estimated capacity for the device class with the actual data size you expect to fit on a tape.

Re: JBB backed-up inspected
I am facing the same problem on Windows 2012 with TSM Client 7.1, but I couldn't explain this. Maybe rest of objects is coming from SYSTEMSTATE?

They have 128 GB RAM available. We have two Windows 2012 R2 servers running the 6.4.0.0 client. They both run DFS-R, replicating data from two corresponding servers at our offsite data center. The two servers have recently been setup to use Journal Based Backups. The two servers at the offsite data center are not using JBB, but if it is successfull on the local two servers the plan is to implement JBB on the offsite servers also. The incremental backups of the two WIndows servers had been running unusually long. Six to eight hours, sometimes much more, while scanning only 3 1/2 million files. And, they backup only a few hundred files. Both have 4 GB of RAM. They are virtual machines on ESX. The new elapsed times have been 4 minutes, 16 minutes, etc. So run times are greatly improved. Here's my question: both Windows servers are backing up more objects than they are inspecting! For example: objects inspected 2,840, objects backed up: 4,101, objects expired: 707. What does that mean? Could it be that several new files were created after the start of the backup, so they were backed up immediatly, without entries being made in the journal? If that's the scenario, the journal contained 2840 entries for new/updated objects, maybe 707 entries for deleted ojects, and 1,261 objects were added or updated after the start of the backup. I have no previous JBB experience, so I'm just guessing at what's happening. If someone has seen that behavior before, and has a good understanding of the cause I would be grateful to hear from you.

Re: tsm tcp for vm versus veeam
We are using Veeam Backup and Replication and Veeam ONE as a management software for VMware itself and Veeam Backups for VMs. Perfect combination! I would like to recommend to use Windows 2012 R2 as Veeam Repository servers with native Windows deduplication for drives with backup data to reduce required storage size. By the way, most of the critical production VMs we are backing up using traditional TSM backups used on source standalone servers before virtualization. Yes, it is a little bit expensive solution, but combination Veeam + TSM backups (without TDP for VM) is extremely reliable and I do not think TDP for VM is less expensive.

Re: tsm tcp for vm versus veeam
No, Veeam is not able to store backups within TSM Server. Veeam and TSM are totally independent. Veeam is capable to use tape drives to store backup data, but we are not using tapes. Veeam supports data encryption and compression for data repositories on disks under Windows. In addition, it is compatible with Windows 2012 drive deduplication. We are using four Veeam repositories on Windows 2012 R2 VMs running on VMware hosts directly connected to not expensive SAN disk subsystem.

Not clear what you refere to. Where exactly do you see directories in the new MC? From restore GUI, or a Select or what? When you add DIRMC, and you do the next backup, directories that still exist on the drive should get rebound to the new MC. Any objects that are already inactive and don't exist on the drive, I do not think can be rebound to new MC.

Re: Copy Pool - Tape Library or VTL?
We are using Data Domain DD640 libraries with replication to out-of-country disaster site (20TB on each site) without any problems. De-duplication rate heavily depends on TSM Clien/ Sever encryption or compression (10-25 times without compression/encryption, 2-5 times with encryption/compression). Grigori Solonovitch, Senior Systems Architect, IT, Ahli United Bank Kuwait, www.ahliunited.com.kw -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Weidacher, Daniel Sent: 02 01 2014 11:01 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Copy Pool - Tape Library or VTL? Hello, In our company we have a TSM 6.2 Server with a TS3310+Extension (LTO-4) Library for primary pools and an Overland Library for copy pools (LTO-2). Now the Overland is nearing retirement and we need a replacement. We have 46 Nodes with a total of ~16TB in need of a copy pool (with more nodes in tsm, but they are not that important). Of that 16TB, 3-4 TB are MSSQL and Oracle Databases, the rest is Windows and Linux Operating Systems. The way I see it, there are two options. 1: We get another TS3310 base model with LTO-5 drives (or any other Tape Library). We would get about 38TB in 24 Tapes, and we probably have to turn off collococation. If necessary we could get an Expansion for the Library. 2: We get a Virtual Tape Library, say a TS7620 with 24TB Diskspace (12x2TB Disks), which would cost as much as the TS3310 (more or less). I could make a lot of small volumes (say 50-100GB) which would probably increase restore speed in comparison to a real Tape Library. On the other side, the VTL has less raw space. But with data-deduplication we probably could get much more out of it. And that's my problem: I did some numbers after reading some guides on the web, and results vary from data-reduction of 10-50%, but we really have absolutely no experience with data-deduplication. Can anybody please give me some advice on what would be the best option? What are your experiances with VTL and data-deduplication? Would even a smaller VTL be sufficient? Any help would be really appreciated.

Re: Oracle v9 backup and restore without TDP
There are next ways to backup Oracle databases using TSM: 1) using RMAN + TDPO + TSM Client to TSM server by periodic full backups and incremental backups on other days; 2) using RMAN + DDBoost to Data Domain by periodic full backups and incremental backups on other days with Data Domain de-duplication; 3) using RMAN to local disk with following backup of flat files to TSM Server using TSM Client; 4) using direct TSM backup for Oracle database files using TSM Client (offline backup). The first option is a classical TSM backup for Oracle databases with quite solid expenses for licenses, but most reliable in comparison with other options. We are using this way for many years and I can provide complete set of required scripts for Unix environment (contact me by direct E-mail); The second option is the fastest way to backup Oracle databases directly to external Data Domain storage. RMAN is free (part of Oracle license), but you need to pay for Data Domain system itself with DDBoost and de-duplication licenses (maybe 10Gb/s network is required as well for mentioned capacity). According to stated Oracle database size this is preferable option (in my opinion). The third option is almost impossible to use due to huge disk space requirements (more than double capacity is required on local disks). It can be used only if disk space is not a problem for customer. The forth option can be used for small databases and for not 24/7 applications.

I am wondering if people here are doing this already. I'm no Oracle or rman man but I wonder if you can create a workable environment with scripting and procedures, I understand we need disk space for the 'dumps' to disk and some space to stage the restore from TSM before it goes back to Oracle. But how about archive log backups and how to go about telling rman a backup is back on another disk ready to restore to Oracle. Can you script the name of the backups with rman and is this usually done with the B/A archive function or the backup function. I can image that the Oracle naming might be an issue. If anybody here could give me some pointers that would be great, it's a fairly large Oracle environment with full backups of more than 40TB's and single database or multiple TB's.

Re: TSM VE backup of Orcale Windows server
Hello Shawn, Oracle 11g has Oracle VSS driver similar to MS SQL. This driver is installed automatically during database installation, but it is running as a separate service. It is shown in the list of VSS writers when running. In addition, as far as I understand, it is possible to install this driver (11g?) for Oracle 10.2.0.3 and later as well.

As I understand it, the newer versions of TSM for VE and Virtualcenter are trying to offer a better-than-crash-consistent snapshot. When an application supports it, VMware communicates through VSS to the application (MSSQL for example) and it will attempt to quiesce the database before the VMware snapshot occurs. This adds complexity and head-scratching when it doesn't work. I'm not sure if Oracle has this integration and you don't need it if you are manually quiescing the database. Maybe there is a driver in there that is attempting to make it work with Oracle. I never figured out how to disable this integration.

I can't explain why your DB would get corrupt, but without VSS and VSS-Writer for Oracle, there isn't any integration between Oracle and the snapshot process. That in itself might be enough to explain it. On servers where we couldn't get VSS Writer for Oracle installed, we only do cold-backups by using VMware tools to execute batch-commands to properly shutdown and restart applications and their Oracle databases.

TSM 6.3 introduced a new kind of library, VTL, which is just like SCSI, except that TSM expects things to happen even faster than with physical drives. TSM will also define paths and devices automagically with type=VTL, as I recall, although that's not a common event for us. You can UPDATE LIBR from type=SCSI to type=VTL. So, don't define your VTL volumes in your storage pool; let them go out of scratch status but have your TSM library defined to relabel them, and get to TSM 6.3 if you're not already there.

By the way, I never use something like setlimit channel tdp1 kbytes 1073741824
maxopenfiles 32 readrate 200;
I think you need to ask your DBA to tune setlimit statement or try to remove it
at all.
This is my RMAN script which is working perfectly:

Subject: [ADSM-L] TDP Oracle issue: thousands of near simultaneous sessions per
node
Looking for some direction...
I recently inherited a TSM server along with many TDP for Oracle nodes.
The TSM server is 5.4 (upgrade on the horizon).
The Oracle clients run on mostly AIX, but some Suse Linux, the TDP client is
ver.5.5.x and the BA clients are primarily 6.2.
All of the database and log backups are initiated by CRON and when they start a
single Oracle node will start and stop literally thousands of sessions on the
TSM server within a minute or two.
Oracle and RMAN are new to me and I have talked with our DBA team regarding the
problem but to no surprise they imply it is a TSM issue.
When this occurs the obvious impact to the TSM server is devastating,
performance is crushed and the console churn is a blur.
In reading the Oracle and TDP documentation I am suspicious of the RMAN scripts
as the cause, but before I go testing changes or opening a support case, I
thought I would ask the group.
The RMAN scripts do perform several crosschecks during the process and I
suspect that each backup piece it queries for starts and stops a client session
on the TSM server.
Has anyone seen this issue before? Is there any way to get the TDP client to
perform all operations during a single, or minimal, sessions?
I have included the RMAN script I suspect below.
All feedback welcome,
~Rick

Export/import from TSM 5.5.6 to TSM 6.3.3.100
I want to share some information: - TSM Server 5.5.6 was upgraded to TSM Server 6.3.3.100; - new instance of TSM Server 6.3.3.100 has been installed on new Power6 system; - all data was exported from old TSM Server and imported directly to new TSM Server; - upgrade has been completed successfully without any problems and new TSM Server is in production mode now; - export/import for big nodes was done in two steps: first with FILEDATA=BACKUP, then with FILEDATA=ARCHIVE (just to reduce export/import time and avoid skipping backups); - by mistake MERGEFILESPACES=YES was not specified during export/import of archive data; - as a result without giving any warnings or errors archive data was imported to separate set of file spaces slightly changed in comparison with backup file spaces (for example, for backup data /home/abcd - for archive data /home/abc1); - fortunately, it is possible to restore data from archives, but I have some questions: Is it correct behavior of TSM Server or TSM Server should inform me about mistake? Will new archives come to correct file system (I couldn't see any other possibilities, but any way) ? May it create any other problems for me in the future? Shall I open SR to IBM support? Grigori G.

Re: Export/import from TSM 5.5.6 to TSM 6.3.3.100
Thank you very much, Wanda. Unfortunately, I still have old TSM Server but without storage pools which were reused on new TSM Server. We are not using retrieve very often. So I decided to keep current incorrect file space names. After 2 years all data in the second set of file systems will expire. Grigori G.

If you do not specify MERGEFILESPACES=YES, that is the defined/correct behavior. Will new archives come to correct file system (I couldn't see any other possibilities, but any way) ? Yes. May it create any other problems for me in the future? I suggest you archive a single file, then start the client and see what you have to do for a successful retrieve. It will not cause a problem, except that you will have to remember in the future that an archived file could be in either the old or new filespace and remember to look in both. If you do not often need to retrieve, or are unlikely to need the data, you may just choose to leave things as they are. Or, if you still have your V5 server, run the export/import again with mergefilespaces=yes, then delete the .abc1 filespaces. Or, if you no longer have you V5 server, you can still correct it although it requires some effort: When there is no archiving activity on the client machine, on the TSM server do: rename the ...abcd filespaces to ...abcnew rename the ...abc1 filespaces back to abcd (what they should have been called originally) export the abcd filespaces to tape rename the ...abcnew filespaces back to abcd You now have some data in the filespaces on the TSM server by the correct filespace names. You also have some data exported to tape with the correct filespace names. import the data from tape, this time specify MERGEFILESPACES=YES That should get everything back to where you expect it to be.

Re: How do start HMC on AIX.
Question is not clear. HMC is running under Linux on separate server. HMC manages AIX logical partitions on Power5/6/7. You can start and stop AIX logical partitions from HMC, but you can reboot/shutdown/upgrade HMC itself without rebooting AIX partitions - they will be still running in normal mode. Grigori G.

Offline backup for TSM Server 6.3.3.100
TSM Server 6.3.3.100 for AIX 7.1-01-06 (database size 80GB utilized 50 %) For all previous versions of TSM (latest 5.5.6) I was backing up in offline mode (stopped TSM Server): 1) file system with all configuration files (dsmserv.opt, volume history, device configuration, etc); 2) file systems with TSM database; 3) file systems with TSM database logs. This none-TSM based backup was used as additional backup to be able to restore TSM database in case of problems with normal TSM backups. In all previous versions I was able to restore all file systems and start TSM Server. Is there any possibility to restore TSM 6.3.3.100 database from similar none-TSM offline backup containing configuration, database, log and archive log file systems? Thank you very much in advance.

I have tried next include statements from dsm.smp (it was successfully used on TSM Server 5.5.6 with older version of TDP for MS SQL): INCLUDE \...\meta\...\* MSSQL INCLUDE \...\data\...\* MSSQL INCLUDE \...\meta\...\log* MSSQL INCLUDE \...\data\...\log* MSSQL It does not work. I think because all TDP for MS SQL are coming to filespaces \SqlServerWriter\.. instead of ...\meta\... and ...\data\ I have tried to change to: INCLUDE \...\SqlServerWriter\...\* MSSQL but it did not help as well. What is a right way to specify management class for TDP for MS SQL backups? Grigori G.

Re: FW: TDPO questions
I think you have that behaviour quite different from a fs backup because you are dealing with RMAN, and at this point I do not know if there is any way to lower the severity to Warning for that but if is the RMAN script to fail in one of this points I do not think so. I have set COPYPOOLNAMES in primary pool to have the both primary and copy files during export/import for nodes and then I hit problem with TDPO backups. RMAN is sending data to TDPO -- TDPO is sending data to TSM Client -- TSM Client is sending data to TSM Server -- TSM Server is failing. I do not think RMAN can see something on TSM Server. This is TSM problem. What's the output of the RMAN script in that when the job is failing due to the copy pool not present?

Now I am not sure what is better write data in parallel to primary and copy pools during backup or write to primary pools and then propagate data to copy pools.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] FW: TDPO questions
Thanks Grigori,
no matter how long is the chain after RMAN, rman only demand to the MML (in
this case TSM MML, namely the TDPO library) to write to the channel and treat
it as a black-box.
If something in that black box goes wrong he quits the run {} statement :
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on t1 channel at 04/07/2013 15:03:42 and
the process is marketed as failed due to the returncode not equal to 0:
ANS1315W (RC15) Unexpected retry request. The server found an error while
writing the data.
So I think that you have two ways here:
a- Ask support if exist a flag for tdpo to mask that failure so the returncode
to RMAN channel will be 0 also in case of failure on the copypool
b- Mantain two separate jobs for the RMAN backups. one to the primary channel,
another to copy that data to the copypool.

FW: TDPO questions
Problem has been resolved: 1) Primary storage pool was defined with copypoolnames=copy pool to have data in the both primary and copy pools during export/import nodes; 2) Export/Import was working fine and files were moved to the both pools; 3) Backups for Windows and AIX nodes (flat files) were successful on new TSM Server; 4) TDP for Oracle backups were failing due to default MAXNUMMP=1 (???).

Re: FW: TDPO questions
Hello Carlo, I have only one channel in RMAN, but TSM Client is trying to write data to the both primary and copy pools. As a result 2 mount points are required. By the way, I think backup operation has to be continued in case of unavailability of copy pool. It happens for normal backups with warning in activity log (The copy storage pool XX was removed from the storage pool list because of a failure for session YYY), but TDP for Oracle backups are failing after warning message with misleading message (The object XXX was not found on the TSM Server). I do not think it is correct. Regards, Grigori G.

FW: Export node to another server is slow for Windows 2008 R2 64 bit node
I think I have identified source of problem. TSM Client/Server is doing incremental backups for Windows 2008 SYSTEMSTATE by saying ANS4085I Assigned '90236' objects from previous systemstate backup to the new systemstate backup. Assigned objects are not visible in occupancy reports, but visible during export/import or delete filespace... operations. Export is sending all assigned SYSTEMSTATE objects to be imported on a target server. Number of objects is huge, but there is no real files. So network speed is extremely low. Is this correct behavior? Or some bug in 5.5.6 with client 6.2.4? Grigori G.

Re: FW: Export node to another server is slow for Windows 2008 R2 64 bit node
Hello Wanda, Thank you very much for detailed and helpful answers. Fortunately, I have new TSM Server 6.3.3.100 and TSM Client 6.4.0. In addition, I have used recommended way of upgrade for all Windows 2008 servers - perform full backup to new server and keep old server for some time till data is expired. Of course, I have not set SYSTEMSTATEBACKUPMETHOD FULL yet and continue to run incremental SYSTEMSTATE backup on new server. I do not think it is critical. How about proposal to run selective backup for SYSTEMSTATE periodically to expire old backup together with all pointers? Grigori G.

I've run into it at 3 customers, and it's very painful. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21470662 Easy to prevent the problem with the workaround (described below). Not so easy to fix once you are in the mess. Here's my 2-cent interpretation of the hit: The TSM 5.5 client backed up system state as 1 object. That became a problem when people started implementing Win2K8, because the Win2K8 system state starts at 8G and gets larger on systems with SQL, IIS, etc. So the 6.2 clients started trying to do a true incremental of the system state, backing up only the pieces that actually changed. However, unlike regular flat files, when you restore system state, Microsoft requires that you restore all the pieces at once, even if the pieces were backed up separately. So apparently that requires a lot of pointers connecting the pieces in the TSM DB. On a TSM 5.5 server, all the extra pointers eventually cause the server DB to get tangled in its underwear, causing backup, export, and expiration for system state backups to run very, very slow. I've had 2 customers whose symptom was expiration running for up to a week without finishing. Solutions: * Upgrade the client code to 6.2.3 or later (6.4.0 is good for Win2K8, recommended for Win2K12) and add to the dsm.opt: SYSTEMSTATEBACKUPMETHOD FULL What that does is cause the backup of systemstate to behave the way it used to - that is, back up the system state as 1 chunk with 1 DB entry. You'll get more GB of systemstate, but avoid the pointer tangle. This prevents future problems, but doesn't clean up your existing one. * Upgrade the server to 6.2.3 or higher, as the new V6 DB can handle the pointers without the performance hit. * In your case, I'd suggest not exporting the systemstate filespace at all. Move the client to the new server, back up systemstate there, and allow the old systemstate backups to sit on the old server until they naturally expire. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Grigori Solonovitch Sent: Monday, April 01, 2013 7:00 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] FW: Export node to another server is slow for Windows 2008 R2 64 bit node I think I have identified source of problem.

Re: Export node to another server is slow for Windows 2008 R2 64 bit node
I have backup data for all Windows servers on FILE primary storage pool - so there is no problem reading files for the both 2003 and 2008 servers. I know about big number of files in SYSTEM STATE for 2008, but it I definitely not a reason of bad performance. For example, 2003 server has total 72,000 files and 22GB - 2008 server has total 230,000 files and 47GB (data is compressed). This difference can lead to longer export for 2008 at least 3 times due to different amount of data with the same speed 10-20MB/s, but in real live I have speed 1MB/s and huge difference in export time. I am using TSM Client 6.2.4.7 on the both 2003 and 2008 servers - the latest officially supported version for TSM Server 5.5.6. Grigori G.

It will house all backups from the local site as well as replicated data from the remote site. It will function as a primary stgpool only. The tape library that is also attached will eventually be phased out. My question is, what recommendations does anyone have on setting up this device. I was thinking of creating several 2T virtual disks and then presenting them to the linux TSM server but I am not sure whether I want to put them all in a volume group or not since all of the striping is done on the back end of the device as all of the hard drives are in one giant dynamic disk pool. In each 2T disk, I was going to create 4 500G disk storage volumes. Or maybe 2 1T disk storage volumes. Because the disk storage volumes will be permanent and not eventually offloaded to tape, I want to make sure I set this up correctly. Any suggestions for best performance? Ext3? Ext2? Thanks.

Re: Exchange 2010 backup configuration

Re: AUto Sync of TDP backup and RMAN catalog
Hello, Maybe I do not understand your request, but I will try to give you some solution. To enable automatic retention in RMAN catalog you need to set recovery window for each database (in my case it is for Oracle instance ifns and 31 DAYS is a recovery window, which has to be in sync with TSM retention period for the same database): #!/bin/sh # export ORACLE_SID=ifns export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle export ORACLE_HOME=`grep ifns: /etc/oratab | head -n1 | cut -f2 -d:` export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin # # Configure backup policy rman EOF # # Connect to Recovery Manager Catalog Database connect catalog $RC_USER/$RC_PASSWORD@$RC_SERVICE; # # Connect to target database connect target; # # Set retention policy CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 31 DAYS; # # Set compression mode #CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt_tape BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET; # EOF exit In addition, you need to run daily RMAN crosscheck for each database, something like this (key command in this script is crosscheck backup: #!/bin/sh # # Cross-check Recovery Catalog and TSM database # # Input parameters: # 1 - database SID. # export ORACLE_SID=$1 export ORACLE_HOME=`grep $1: /etc/oratab | head -n1 | cut -f2 -d:` export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin # ### # Remove expired datafiles, control files and archived redo log files # ### rman EOF # # Connect to Recovery Catalog database connect catalog $RC_USER/$RC_PASSWORD@$RC_SERVICE; # # Connect to target database connect target; # # Allocate channel for maintenance allocate channel for maintenance type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/home/oracle/admin/tdpo/$1.opt)'; # # Set date and time format sql 'alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = -MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS'; # # Resynchronize catalog resync catalog; # # List database incarnations list incarnation; # # List backups list backup summary; # # Crosscheck backups crosscheck backup; # # List expired backups list expired backup summary; # # Delete expired backups delete noprompt expired backup; # # Delete obsolete backups delete noprompt obsolete; # # Release channel release channel; # # Allocate channel for maintenance allocate channel for maintenance type disk; # # Check archived logs on disk crosscheck archivelog all; # # Remove obsolete archived redo logs delete noprompt expired archivelog all; # # Release channel release channel; # exit; EOF exit 0 After implementing this solution I never use tdposync except some crazy cases.

Back before we started using dedup we could just do a move volume to save what we could and then do a delete volume and the next backup of the server would straighten everything out. We might lose inactive copies but the next backup cycle would catch the missing active files. With the way dedup works I'm not sure what we would do. Any suggestions?

Re: Q about TSM notification in a widely-distributed environment
You can try to evaluate TSMExplorer from www.s-iberia.com. It has special agent and updater, which can be installed ones together with TSM Client to provide next functionality: 1) remote update of agent to newer version without having access to servers; 2) remote viewing TSM Client logs, TDP for XXX logs, backup logs, etc; 3) remote editing configuration files like dsm.sys, dsm.opt, etc; 4) remote interface to run any commands dsmutil xx; 5) remote interface to run any commands dsmc x; 6) remote interface to run any defined schedules; 7) remote interface to collect detailed host information (CPU, memory, disks, TCP/IP, etc); 8) remote interface to collect detailed information for TSM nodes (domain, node name, node type, TCP/IP address, TSM Client version, operating system, processor type, number of cores, etc) 9) one point of control to use RDC/SSH connection to all servers, if available. I am using TSMExplorer for a few years and I am able to manage all TSM nodes without any access to them via RDC/SSH. Grigori G.

The central TSM admins have access to the TSM clients in the glass house, but no access to the TSM clients for the remote departments. Currently they use TOR to send email to the remote machine owners when TSM clients fail or miss. Remote admins often ignore the emails; general result is TSM clients miss for long periods, and the central admins don't know whether there is a legitimate problem, the machine has been decommissioned, or the machine owner has been decommissioned. They are looking for a reporting tool that will provide a better way to handle this than sending email out into the vacuum of internet space and hoping for results. (And yes, my customer already has service agreements where the remote owners have agreed that dealing with the failures and misses is their responsibility. But that's not working now, and when the rubber meets the road, it's the TSM admins that get blamed when there are no backups!) One possibility I can think of (short of writing our own apps) is to have TSM send the info (via mail or snmp) to a ticketing system that generates a ticket that has to be addressed or it gets escalated to a manager. But I have no familiarity with such ticketing systems, so can't recommend one. So, what do other people in widely distributed environments do for this? Product recommendations welcomed, we'll look at them. Thanks! W Wanda Prather | Senior Technical Specialist | wanda.prat...@icfi.com | www.icfi.com ICF International | 401 E.

Re: Do you perform Windows SYSTEMSTATE backups?
I am very sorry, but I am a little bit confused by discussion about SYSTEMSTATE backup. We are backing up SYSTEMSTATE for Windows 2003 (all editions) and Windows 2008 (all editions) with the latest patches and VSS hot fixes without any problems (TSM Client 6.2.4.0 and TSM Server 5.5.6). We have restored successfully a few servers after real Windows disaster. In addition, we are testing Windows image restores periodically. As a small problem I can declare only huge number of files in Windows 2008 SYSTEMSTATE. It delays incremental backups checking all files without backing up them (finally must of the files are re-assigned with message like ANS4085I Assigned '82817' objects from previous systemstate backup to the new systemstate backup.)

We do not back up the Windows System State, and I run a program to find them, delete them, and change the cloptset for offending nodes to one that forbids it. The problem started with Vista, and it hit us real hard. It's a problem that keeps on giving, as people gradually upgrade from XP to Win7 and from Server 2003 to Server 2008. A pet peeve of mine in this regard is that XP calls it System Object, and TSM very inflexibly enforces this semantic detail. If you assign a Vista+ node to a cloptset that contains DOMAIN -SYSTEMOBJECT you get a fatal error and no backup. If you assign an XP node to a cloptset that contains DOMAIN -SYSTEMSTATE you also get a fatal error. TSM should accept SYSTEMSTATE and SYSTEMOBJECT as aliases for one another. This would save me a ***___HUGE___*** amount of time and effort. The difference in whether or not you can handle it, is the TSM server version, as well as the client version. In general, neither V5 servers nor V5 clients can handle System State backup, while V6.2.3+ servers can deal with it reasonably well if the client is also V6.2.3+. This is IBM's recommendation. We have never found the System Object/State backup to be useful for a desktop node restore. OTOH if the node is a server, we have started to back up the System State to our new V6.2.3 server using V6.2.4+ clients. We continue to absolutely forbid System State backups on our old V5.5 servers. They simply cannot handle it.

Re: changing stgpool to access=unavailable
I am using similar design for our disaster site, but not on DataDomain. Exactly the same procedure is used during each disaster site testing. Some important comments: 1) NFS file systems have to be mounted as soft (not default hard) to prevent any hanging operations. AIX gives error for soft mounted NFS file system. For hard mounted NFS file system I/O operation is hanging with very bad consequences for TSM Server; 2) setting status unavailable for remote copy pool stops all operations, but does not prevent read or right errors for volumes in unavailable FILE pool in case of scheduled copy or space reclamation; 3) involved volumes can be marked as readonly with following manual correction after completion testing or maintenance. 4) TSM Server is able to use NFS file systems mounted back after exercise without any problems, but see points 1-3.

Our DD's are all setup for NFS access, so they are using FILE device type pools. The plan is to: - stop all processes/sessions writing to the DD based FILE stgpools - mark the stgpool access=unavailable - umount the NFS filesystem - perform the DD work - mount the NFS filesystem - mark stgpool access=readwrite Question: What happens when a pool is changed to access=unavailable? With tape, I can mark drive offline and the current process will keep writing to it until it finishes. Is the same true with access=unavailable for a FILE dev pool? In other words, can I mark it unavailable FIRST, and then cancel any processes/sessions using it. This would prevent the wack-a-mole of sessions/processes starting as I cancel others.
