Réf. : Database question
If all your config files (dsmserv.opt dsmserv.dsk, devconfig and volhistory) are the same and all database, log and stgpool files are the same, there should be no problem. You could even move those around and have the dsmserv.dsk reflect the changes and it would be OK. My SUN server just crashed big time over the weekend and we had to reinstall the OS. All I did was reinstall TSM and recreate the config files. It started up without a hitch.

I've set up an instance of TSM at that level on the P670. Now I'm trying to fathom the best way to actually move the database over. I'm going to be dropping all the disk and tape connections from the S7A and connecting them to the P670. I'll have time to get all the devices defined and paths defined, so that with the exception of the path statements, the storage pools, libraries tape drives, log directories, db directories and files will all be configured the same as before. My question is this: If I did all the above, could I simply do a "dsmserv upgradedb" and let it fly? I'm sure this isn't supported, so I'm just wondering aloud. Thanks!!

ITSM For Mail - Domino problems
Hi All First off : TSM Server 5.1.5.4 on solaris TSM Client on Windows 2000 5.1.5.9 ITSM for mail 5.1.5.0 I installed tsm client and Mail client and everything went fine. Registered both the "OS" client and the Mail client. When I run domdsmc q adsmserv I get a response from my tsm server. when I run domdsmc q domino, thew command just hangs there and I get no response. When I first run the command I get a C++ error (don't have it in front of me and do not have access to it at the moment). There are no errors in any .log file and in the event log.

Three months ago we turned collocation off because we have about 200 client-nodes with less then 3 GB's data stored, and every node was using min. 1 tape, so we had a lot of tapes with low utilization, long migration. Now tape-utilization is much better, migration is much faster, but yesterday there was a restore of an web-server (WinNT) and we restored almost 2 GB and it took 6 hours and there were almost 70 tape-mounts. Before we set collocation off such restores took half an hour. Now we are thinking of setting collocation back on, but that implies we have to buy and checkin about 350 new tapes, because move data will take weeks or more. Now I was wondering how other sites are dealing with collocation, and what are they doing to get better results during restore, when collocation is off. We are thinking of make a full back-up once a month to get data of one client on less (or one) tape(s), or putting collocation back on, or... Curious to your reaction!

The tdp worked fine with previous versions of Domino on these servers. We have tried using the very latest tdp version from the ftp site, but no success there. The symptoms we see are that the first time you open the GUI after installing it, a C++ API runtime error appears. After this, the GUI just hangs. The command line does not appear to work either. We _have_ found that we can backup the Domino server through the tdp gui IF, and only if, the Domino server is shut down! The last client is running NAI GroupShield V5.2 within the Domino application, but not at the server level. We tried shutting this down, but with no effect.

Extended device support
Ok guys don't laugh I tried migrate my old adsm 3.1.2.42 server today. It's a small server with only 7 clients. On AIX 4.3.3. I installed 5.1.6.2 and everything was going fine until I tried using the tape drives. Now these are very peculiar. They are 2 ESCON attached 3490 drives. (only 800 megs per tape...) TSM 51 di not like this. I got io errors galor and was unable to read any tapes. Well looks like they are not supported anymore. Let's go back to adsm 3.1.2.42. I did but I still can't read my tapes. Seems I have lost the extended device support module and I can't find the install pack anywhere. So my question is : does anybody out there have a copy of this thing lying around somewhere or can point to a place I can download it???

Web GUI through SSH tunnel
Hi all I am trying to use the web client through an ssh tunnel. I've configured my port forwarding to connect to port 1581 on the remote machine.

Port 1581 allows a remote web browser to connect to the TSM client; if you're seeing the console, it's working. To get the client to talk to the server, port 1500 must be open between the TSM client and the TSM server. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: Sharing a STK 5510 library
We do even better, we also have omniback in the mix. Just configure your SAN fabric so that only the drives you want to see for each server are visible. ACSLS will accept requests from all these servers and mount the tapes as needed. The Gresham product is very easy to use and does a great job.

Re: What are people doing to bkup big DB2, data warehouse
Hi Matt We have the same architecture. We used to back it up through GE to an MVS TSM server and 1.6 GB tapes. We would then migrate to 9840 tapes. This was a PITA. We never could get the performance up. Now we backup to a P615 TSM server with 2 FE cards. Performance is about the same. We backup to disk. We run 4 concurrent backups with parallelism set to 4, so 16 different sessions on TSM. Our network cards run between 10 and 12 MB/sec. We also precompress data. Our goal is to go Lanless to LTO2 drives. We've seen 3/1 compression on this data warehouse so I'm guessing about 70 to 90 MB/sec per drive. This is only speculation though. We do full backups every month and TSP backups of the tables that get updated weekly every week. Archive logs run every day.

Re: Library Configuration and Device Drivers
You wre correct on the drivers. As for Gresham, just the external library wil be ok. The library will be managed by ACSLS. You will need DistribuTape on any client using Lanfree capabilities. They are set up the same way your server will be. Congratulations on the L8500, this things looks amazing.

A little background of our new environment would be 2 TSM servers, 1 development and 1 production, are AIX 5.2 at the TSM 5.2.2.5 level. They will be attached, through a McData 6064 director, to an STK SL8500 library with 18 LTO2 tape drives. I am not sure what device drivers to use for our environment. I was looking at the TSM Implementation Guide on pg. 89 and it stated that if we use LTO drives we should use the IBMTape device driver instead of TSM's device driver. Is this correct? Also, when I used the link from that site it didn't exist, but if I used ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr then it worked and I found the links to the device drivers for the AIX TSM servers would be ATape device drivers and the Solaris LAN-free client servers would be IBMTape device drivers. Also, with our configuration and 2 TSM servers using Gresham EDT and ACSLS7.1, what type of library do I define in TSM? I have defined an external library, but now I'm wondering if I need an automated library along with a shared library defined with our production TSM server being the primary library manager? We will be sharing all 18 drives and the tape pool. As far as I know the scratch tape pool is defined within ACSLS. For the definition of the automated library it states that this is for SCSI libraries only, which ours is fibre. My thoughts on this are that I would define the external library (with Lan-free capabilities) and then define a shared library, but you don't give the master library the same name as the shared library. I guess I'm just a little confused on how this works and will be set up in our environment. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Re: scratch pool
Hi Joni Since you will be using Gresham , you do not need to "checkin" the tapes in TSM. Your q libv will have nothing. ACSLS will be the one handling scratch tapes. To have all servers using the same scratch pool, just configure elm.conf to point to the same scratch pool. This is done with the "Pool" parameter. As for DRM checkins and checkouts, this has to be handled by Gresham with the eject_vol command.

We will be using ACSLS 7.1 to control the library robotics and Gresham to allow tape drive sharing. I also plan on using DR Manager, but I am still not sure what this entails. I have some questions concerning this new set up. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Any help is appreciated! 1. What ejects the tapes that are full for the offsite DR tapes? TSM or ACSLS? Where/how is this set up? 2. Where can I see the scratch tapes that I defined to the TSM library? I checked them in and labeled them on TSM, but where can I view how many scratch tapes I have, etc? 3. Does DRM handle marking tapes full/offsite and issuing eject commands or is this a TSM admin job? 4. How do I configure this environment so that both TSM servers share the same scratch pool or would I want to keep them separate? They are two entirely different TSM environments and would not be sharing any actual data. If anyone has accomplished a similar environment setup and has any plans or order of operations or a listing of tasks and which software piece handles this and would be will to share some of your information, that would be great!

It also "inactivates" databases that no longer exist on the Domino server. If a customer only runs archivelog and selective backups, the databases that have been "removed" from their Domino Server will remain active and never expire. The bigger problem I see with only running weekly SELECTIVE and hourly ARCHIVELOG (with no INCREMENTAL) is that it will not pick up situations when the logged databases DBIID has changed. Once the DBIID changes, you cannot apply the archive logs to the old backup since Domino treats databases with a new DBIID as a "different" database in the logger's eyes. One very common technique is to run: - Weekly SELECTIVE type backups (followed by an INACTIVATELOGS command) - Nightly INCREMENTAL type backups - Hourly ARCHIVELOG backups The time frames on the frequency of these vary depending on Domino server load, capacity, maintenance schedule, etc. Thanks, Del > I was also told that the INCREMENTAL processing expires deleted databases. > The SELECTIVE only backs up what's there and if you never run the > INCREMENTAL any deleted databases will still be there as active and won't > expire. > > I have a client that I'm still trying to convince that hourly archivelog > backups and weekly selective full backups just aren't enough.

I didn't give details about the tape configuration because it is clearly not the problem. We used to be able to back up the database to a disk storage pool initially (the database is slowly but steadily growing) and had the same kind of log pinning issues. The worst form of the tape reclamation pathology occurs with offsite tapes. We tend to get one of the huge files starting at or near the beginning of a 3590 J volume, filling the rest of that volume, and spilling on to the first few percent of another volume. The next offsite reclamation process regards the second volume as a prime candidate for reclamation and recopies the entire file to two new volumes. In some cases we have seen this phenomenon repeatedly for several days running. Onsite tape reclamation handles big spanned files more gracefully, but even there such files result in a poor trade-off between the amount of data movement and the amount of free space generated. The pathalogical behavior results from the relationship between file size and volume capacity, and has absolutely no relation to streaming, tracking updates, or whatever.

Re: TSM best practices manual?
Hi Tab Instead of buying a sixth, buy one big one to consolidate everything. STK has the L700E with a capactiy of nearly 1400 tapes with 2 frames and the L5500 with nearly 5000 tapes. IBM's 3584 can go up to 16 frames now (I think) with just as much capacity. I'm working with all three of these and almost no problems. (Hardware is hardware, it breaks...) Put 10 LTO2 drives in either and you're all set.

Re: veritas backup exec client and TSM server
Yes Veritas is a big player, but that does not meen it is better. We are a very big outsourcing company and we use TSM, Netbackup and Omniback. I manage 14 TSM servers by myself, and 7 of those backup up over 100 clients, with the max being 300. I use every client there is, and every TDP. The sysadmins are always relunctant to use TSM because they don't understand it. After a month, the swear by it. The results are there. We were hit by mydoom a month ago, it wiped out entire windows fileservers. Every one was retored by TSM without a hitch. We even did a bmr of a Win2k box after a patch install caused it to blue screen. No problem. On the netbackup side, we have 3 administrators plus 5 (yes 5) veritas consultants in house. There are 5 netbackup servers. We have one very big client that uses 28 drives on 2 sites. SAP backups seem to be a pain. There is always an obscure parameter somewhere that no one knows about except the software engineer at Veritas and it takes you a week with support to get in touch with him. The inhouse consultants mostly know the GUI and nothing else. Performance guides and all that sort of documentation I cherish with TSM kis not available to Veritas custumers, its for Veritas people only. Netbackup was designed with small environnements in mind and grew very poorly. You have to define LTO tapes as DLTs!!! My company used to push for Netbackup, now its TSM only. All three products use the same robotic infrastructure, 3 STK L5500s and a L700 with ACSLS. When I have a problem, its because a drive is dead or a tape is stuck, and that doesn't happen too often. Netbackup is always having problems. I don't know why. So yes Netbackup offers Exchange mailbox restores and Oracle block level backups, but to me that is only fud. I see first hand what the product is and I will never recommend it.

Set access problems after export/import
Here is the scenario : Client : AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.2.1.21 Server : Z/OS TSM 4.2.1.15 - An archive is created on client1 to server1 with user1 - A set access command is done to give access to user2 to the files - server1 exports the archive - server2 imports the archive - user2 on client2 tries to retrieve the archive from server2 but cannot see the archived files when doing a q archive and a retrieve commands returns message ANS1083E. After creating user1 on client2, the retrieve was successful. The same node_name is used for the archive and the retrieve. This used to work with TSM client 4.1.3 and TSM server 4.1.3.

Re: Réf. : LTO Tape OR 9840
The licensing for Gresham is pretty good. I don't have the details but IIRC it's per Silo used. We've been using it for about 5 years and it works great. We interface with Library Station on Z/OS wihout a hitch. As for Library sharing, it does all the work. No need to go through TSM for that, just configure the drives to ELM and away you go. For that though you have to use TSM's device driver because library sharing is not supported with the GenericTape device class, which is what you use with Gresham' AdvanTAPE driver. The same goes for LanLess backups. Be sure not to use quickloop on a brocade switch to connect your drives because you will get alot of IO errors. I have to TSM servers on the same AIX box and they use the same drives. This setup has been running for over a year with TSM 4.1.3. I use the same drives on my test box. When we started we would define the volumes directly in TSM because ELM had problems managing scratch Tapes. When I converted to TSM' device driver, I also deleted all my 'empty' tapes in TSM. Haven't had a problem with overwritten tapes since. Gresham supplies a script to mark used tapes as non-scratch which I run a few times a day jsut to be sure. It's also easier this way because you don't have to define volumes for each storage pool.

Backup of Win2`K Fileserver
Hello I have a BIG performance problem with the backup of a win2k fileserver. It used to be pretty long before but it was managable. But now the sysadmins put it on a compaq storageworks SAN. By doing that they of course changed the drive letter. Now it has to do a full backup of that drive. The old drive had 1,173,414 files and 120 GB of data according to q occ. We compress at the client. We have backup retention set to 2-1-NL-30. The backup had been running for 2 weeks!!! when we cancelled it to try to tweak certain options in dsm.opt. The client is at 4.2.1.21 and the server is at 4.1.3 (4.2.2.7 in a few weeks). Network is 100 mb. I know that journal backups will help but as long as I don't get a full incremental in it doesn't do me any good. Some of the settings in dsm.opt : TCPWindowsize 63 TxnByteLimit 256000 TCPWindowsize 63 compressalways yes RESOURceutilization 10 CHAngingretries 2 The network card is set to full duplex. I wonder if an FTP test with show some Gremlins in the network...?? Will try it.. I'm certain the server is ok. It's a F80 with 4 processors and 1.5 GB of RAM, though I can't seem to get the cache hit % above 98. my bufpoolsize is 524288. DB is 22 GB 73% utilized. I'm really stumped and I would appreciate any help Thanks Guillaume Gilbert
Réf. : Re: Backup of Win2`K Fileserver
Hi Thanks for the tips. I backup 150 other clients (mostly NT but with some AIX and TDP's) with not much performance problems. The server is AIX. The database is on a Hitachi 7700E (15 GB 1rpm disks - RAID5) with dual path fiberchannel. I'm thinking its the compaq san thats the problem. My group didn't have any say on how it was configured. I did an FTP yesterday (used the dsmsched.log which is now 100 Megs...) and it was very slow so the culprit is probably client side. The 2 ethernet (100 mbs) cards on my server are used at max (12mbytes/sec) each when we do TDP Notes backups so they're working OK. There is a Token-Ring card on the server so the backup is probably going through there. I'll check with the sysadmins if the cpu is is used over 50% . If so I'l turn off compression.

Hey there Well it appears the sysadmin didn't tell me everything. The ethernet card was set at auto detect. They will set it to 100mbs Full Duplex and the performance should be much better. Also I renamed the old filespace to match the new. That's a very good tip that I didn't think of. Thank you very much.

Réf. : IBM vs. Storage Tek
Hi Joni What you wrote sums it up in terms of performance and reliability. I think the same way you do as far as LTO goes. It is very good for small enterprises and full backups. But I don't think it fits TSM very well, espacially in a large environnement like yours. Almost everyday I talk about it to our analysts so I won't have to support a large TSM server (400 clients) with those tapes. My 9840a's are very good. The B's are even better. The Gresham solution is easier to implement in a lanless backup strategy. Compare the cost of DTELM licencing to that of TSM Library Sharing. I don't have any figures but I bet the two are pretty close. Sure with STK tapes you'll have more tapes but a Powderhorn can take it. Before the 9840, we had over 3000 EE-tapes (1.6GB native) in our Powderhorn just for TSM with only 4 drives. I was doing reclamation by copying the tapes to disk storage pool. With the 9840 I reclaim at 40% and do about 30 a day starting at 9:30 and it usually finishes before I get off work. In 1 year I had 1 (one) tape failure and no drive failures. That's pretty reliable. I'm thinking the 3590 is as reliable. Remember, you always get what you pay for.

Here is my environment for TSM. Right now it is on the mainframe and we are using 3590 Magstars. We have a production and a test TSM server and each has about 13 drives and a total of 5,500 tapes used for onsite and offsite tape pools between the 2 systems. Two scenarios are being considered (either way TSM is being moved onto our SAN environment with approximately 20 SAN backup clients and 250 LAN backup clients and will be on SUN servers instead of the mainframe) Here is what I estimated I would need for tapes: 3590 9840 9940A LTO 10 GB 20 GB 60 GB 100 GB Production Onsite1375 689 231 140 Offsite 1600 800 268 161 Total 2975 1489 499 301 Test Onsite963 483 163 101 Offsite 1324 664 223 135 Total 2287 1147 386 236 Grand Total 5262 2636 885 537 1. IBM's solution is to give us a 3584 library with 3 frames and use LTO tape drives. This only holds 880 tapes and from my calculations I will need about 600 tapes plus enough tapes for a scratch pool. My concern is that LTO cannot handle what our environment needs. LTO holds 100 GB (native), but when a tape is damaged or needs to be reclaimed the time it takes to do either process would take quite some time in my estimation. Also, I was told that LTO is good for full volume backups and restores, but that it has a decrease in performance when doing file restores, archives and starting and stopping of sessions, which is a majority of what our company does with TSM. Has anyone gone from a 3590 tape to LTO? Isn't this going backwards in performance and reliability? Also, with collocation, isn't a lot of tape space wasted because you can only put one server per volume? 2. STK 9840B midpoint load(20 GB) or 9940A(60 GB) in our Powderhorn silo that would be directly attached to the SAN. From what I gather, these tapes are very robust like the 3590's, but the cost for this solution is double IBM's LTO. We would also need Gresham licenses for all of the SAN backed up clients(20). Does anyone know of any sites/contacts that could tell me the advantages/disadvantages of either solution? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I've been running 4.2.2.6 for a few weeks on Z/OS and I haven't seen any problems. DB is a little under 10 GB. On AIX I have 3 servers running 4.2.2.8 without these problems. DBs are 500 MBs, 5 GBs and 22 GBs. The 22 GB (79% used) took 53 minutes this morning with the following report : ANR0812I Inventory file expiration process 246 completed: examined 3847974 objects, deleting 81979 backup objects, 4180 archive objects, 0 DB backup volumes, and 0 recovery plan files. 0 errors were encountered. The longest its run since the upgrade is 90 minutes. The server is a F80 with 4 processers and 1,5 GB of ram. Another small TSM server runs on it too (700 MB DB). The DB sits on a Hitachi 7700E subsystem with 15 GB disks (10K rpm) in RAID5. Dual fiber through an Inrange Director. I have 4 dbv of 6,8 GBs all on the same array on the subsystem. Haven't had a performance problem (on the DB) since we've had this config a little over a year ago. I had installed 4.2.1.15 on Z/OS but ran into a problem with the q assoc command which would abend the server. 4.2.2.6 looks pretty stable to me.

Oddly enough, our 4.2.1.15 Solaris servers seem to be operating relatively smoothly. Note that I said "relatively" and they all have very small DB. We have an open crit-sit with IBM/Tivoli on an AIX 4.2.2.x server - We eventually suffered enough DB corruption that we were forced to rebuild the server and we are in the process of recovering what archives we can from the old server and importing it into the new server. This isn't to say that the lock issues caused the corruption, I believe the corruption was there when we upgraded to 4.2 - the issues that came along with 4.2 exacerbated the long list of problems we already had.

arted worling with TSM, I thought we should put everything on the mainframe. I've changed my mind since.

My last resort is going to be to extract the activity log once every 24 hours and examine the logs and match the mount/dismounts by drive and attempt to calculate usage that way if there isn't something better. With the difficulty in matching mounts to dismounts, I'm not entirely convinced it's worth the trouble. -Original Message- From: Mr. Lindsay Morris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 4:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 3494 Utilization If you use the atape device driver, you (supposedly) can turn on logging within it.

On what OS are you seeing these problems?. I'm on AIX 433 and installed 4.2.2.12 last friday. Everything seems to be going OK. My db backups take 40 minutes which is the same as before. I upgraded over a month ago to 4.2.2.10 from 4.1.3.0 and my summary table doesn't go back that far so I can't see how the performance was with 4.1.3.

For one of our customers I have recently upgraded their TSM server (and TSM device-driver) from v. 4.2.1.7 to 4.2.2.12, because of added support for multiple modules of library Compaq MSL5026DLX. Configuration is now: TSM Server (+dev.driver) v. 4.2.2.12 Library Compaq MSL5025DLX (2 modules) with 3 SDLT 220 drives. After the upgrade, many of the processes takes a very long time to complete. Expiration used to take 10-15 minutes, takes now 1,5 hours. Database backup used to take about 20 minutes, takes now 1-2 hours, migration is slow, space-reclamation is very slow, and when they try to stop spacereclamation, it takes hours before it stops. I'm sorry I don't have any numbers (MB/s) for these processes. I might have more data on this by tomorrow. But I would like to know if anyone else have seen similar problems after an upgrade.

The fix for this is at these levels (per apar doc):
Apply patch 4.2.2.5, 5.1.1.1 or higher, available through
Tivoli Web Page to resolve this problem, or fixing
PTF when available.
Here's a blerb from my etr/pmr (problem ticket):
The APAR you are referring to is IC34462. This issue is specific to
the summary table not being updated when client sessions are severed and
the session has to be re-established. This APAR is currently open, but
I have added you to the interested parties list for this APAR. There
was also another APAR (IC33455) which addressed an issue with the
summary table simply not being updated properly during client backups.

Since we use 9840 tapes, we didn't want clients with 1-2 gb of data to use 1 whole tape. So we did just what you described. We have over 50% of our clients in this situation. We put the "limit" at 10-12 GB (a 9840 holds 20 GB). Sure you have to carve up you're disk pool but the small clients don't require alot of disks.

This is away from the topic of Kevin's question, but his background info led to a question that we're looking at right now. We currently have one big disk pool for all our backups, which migrates to one tape pool, which we copy to another tape pool for offsite. We turned on co-location on the onsite tape pool a couple of weeks ago, because we just started using the SQL TDP, and the doc recommended colocation. We turned it back off this morning, because we were running out of tapes and had a lot of them that were only 5% full. We would like to do what Kevin says he's doing: specify colocation for a small number of our clients and leave it off for a bunch of them. But, if I understand correctly, colocation isn't specified directly in the management class. It's specified on the tape storage pool definition. So specifying colocation for some clients but not all would require multiple tape storage pools, which wouldn't really be a problem. But it looks like that would also require multiple disk storage pools, because, as far as I can tell, the only way to get a client into a different tape pool is to have it in a different disk pool. We'd really like to avoid carving up our disk space into more smaller pools. But, as far as I can tell, that's the only way to use colocation selectively. Am I missing something, or is that the way it works? -- Matt Simpson -- OS/390 Support 219 McVey Hall -- (859) 257-2900 x300 University Of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 <mailto:msimpson@;uky.edu> mainframe -- An obsolete device still used by thousands of obsolete companies serving billions of obsolete customers and making huge obsolete profits for their obsolete shareholders.

Re: ANR9999D message
Hi all Just got an update on this problem. It appears that any client that is not at level 4.2.3.1 can cause this... That's just great.

I've been having this problem for awhile. Support told me to go to 4.2.3.1 on server and client and now these clients are missing from the summary table. This is on my biggest server (25 GB database). On other small and new servers, things seem to be ok. My PMR is still open (48498) and support is working on it.

ANS4018E - File name too long
Hi all We've had this error on a WinNT SP5 box ever since we upgraded the client to 4.1.3. It's not the actual filename that is long but the whole directory structure which has 10 levels and over 200 characters. The server is 4.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3. We get this error both in the client schedlog and in the server activity log. Is there a limitation on the number of characters for a directory or file.

The problem is in NT and its limitations not TSM. NT provides you with long file names 255chars; we all know that and we know that this includes the path and filename combined. When TSM backs up the directory/file it starts from the root of the directory path and will report a long filename error once it reaches 255chars; The reason NT servers can have these extra long file names (more then 255characters) is only when the file is created from a mapped point on a server. That is if you share a directory under NT and map to that share point the 255chars starts from that share point. But TSM does not start counting from that point is always starts from the root. The only way I have ever got around this problem was to reduce the directory structure used in our department. I also notify people if their filenames are too long and get them to reduce them, and if I cannot find the user I map into the directory and reduce the file name my self. I present most of my error occur with Internet favourites and I ignore them! That's my understanding of the issue with long file names...hope it helps, and that I am still up to date with the real world. ant -Original Message- From: Daniel Sparrman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 9 November 2001 7:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ANS4018E - File name too long Hi Yes, there is a limitation to how long the path can be.

IO errors on tape drives
Hi there Here is our setup. We use Gresham's DistribuTAPE software to manage our STK 9840 drives, which are in an STK 9310 (BIG mainframe library).The drives are fiber attached through a Brocade silkworm switch. We originally used Gresham's AdvanTAPE driver with the generictape device class. After reading that this class could not do lanfree backups and library sharing, I decided to use TSM's native device driver for these drives which are supported according to tivoli's website. Now changing a device class is not a small task. You have to migrate all your tapes to the new class and 600 9840 tapes at 20 gb a piece is a long and tedeous process. Since then, we've been having all sorts of IO errors and the more recent the Server version, the worst it is. My production server is at 4.1.3. When the errors pop up its usually this one : 05/21/2002 09:38:47 ANR8302E I/O error on drive TSMCPLX9840E (/dev/mt3) (OP=READ, CC=206, KEY=FF, ASC=FF, ASCQ=FF, SENSE=**NONE**, Description=General SCSI failure). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. which is not too bad, just updates the tape to readonly and dismounts it. We also get CC=205 and some CC=40*. Luckily for me I have a test server around to test AIX5.1 which is connected to the sam drives so I thought I'd have better luck with 4.2.2.*. Well it's worse, every time a dismount occurs I get this error : 06/26/2002 15:36:39 ANR8302E I/O error on drive TSMCPLX9840E (/dev/mt0) (OP=OFFL, Error Number=78, CC=205, KEY=FF, ASC=FF, ASCQ=FF, SENSE=**NONE**, Description=SCSI adapter failure). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. And the tape is no longer readable. I've had a PMR open for a month now on this thing and finally its up to level 2 support. Does anybody out there have the same setup as I do. Any help would be appreciated. Guillaume Gilbert CGI Canada

I'm thinking the TSM driver is optimized for 9840b drives which are much faster and the 9840a is responding too slowly which is causing timeouts. I suggest you don't upgrade to server 4.2.2.*. Every time I mount a tape it becomes unreadable. Wouldn't want that on a production server...

We use Gresham's DistribuTAPE software to manage our STK 9840 drives, which are in an STK 9310 (BIG mainframe library).The drives are fiber attached through a Brocade silkworm switch. We originally used Gresham's AdvanTAPE driver with the generictape device class. After reading that this class could not do lanfree backups and library sharing, I decided to use TSM's native device driver for these drives which are supported according to tivoli's website. Now changing a device class is not a small task. You have to migrate all your tapes to the new class and 600 9840 tapes at 20 gb a piece is a long and tedeous process. Since then, we've been having all sorts of IO errors and the more recent the Server version, the worst it is. My production server is at 4.1.3. When the errors pop up its usually this one : 05/21/2002 09:38:47 ANR8302E I/O error on drive TSMCPLX9840E (/dev/mt3) (OP=READ, CC=206, KEY
Reclaiminig LTO Tapes
Hey there Maybe its because I'm used to using STK 9840 tapes but yesterday I saw an LTO tape at 25 % utilisation take almost 4 hours to reclaim, which to me is awful. How am I supposed to reclaim my tapes with that kind of performance?. The drives I use are IBM Ultriums in a 3584 library. With only 2 drives it makes it hard for users to do restores... Are there any options I can change to make this go a bit faster. I know the start/stop on LTO's isn't good. Thanks for the help. Guillaume Gilbert CGI Canada
Re: Reclaiminig LTO Tapes
We are an outsourcing firm, and the client wanted a 3584... My team (Storage admins) didn't have a say in it and now we are stuck with a large library dedicated to one client. When your trying to come up with an entreprise-wide multi client multi-site SAN-based backup solution and the bean counters are watching your every move with a magnifying glass, its tough to swallow. I am pushing to buy two more drives since we are barely making our backup window. We are backing up 10 Oracle databases via lanless backup (which is almost hitting the the LTO max of 16 MB/sec). It's getting hard to fit those in with the regular backups. I'm merely complaining because a 50% used 9840 gets reclaim within 30 mins or less. The data on those is client compressed so that is 10 GB of already compressed data in 30 minutes and thats tape to tape. I reclaim my 9840s at 40% reclaimable space and theres between 10 and 30 of them evrery day in 1 major stg (380 tapes) and 4 minor ones (15 - 30 tapes). When you got 6 of these drives in a STK 9310 silo (shared with MVS) you're in heaven :) If I remember correclty the data on that tape was client compresssed (turned it off a month ago). Maybe it had 115 GB full. So that is about 30 GB in 4 hours. As for a FILE devclass, I'm thinking about it but I'll have to check if we have the disk space. See this client wanted the best of everything, so he got two Hitachi 9960's with 5 TBs in them. Those things can hold up to 40 TBs (even more now with the new hi-density HDs). Another big waste of space! On top of that, I'm stuck doing weekly and monthly backups with three different nodenames for each client. At least theres only 8 AIX servers. I thought it through and through and finally decided that the three nodenames with a different client scheduler started for each was the best way to go. After a few months of this, I'm still debating with myself if I should have used archives. The backupset route was put aside because of the tape space waste and how difficult it is to keep track of them. Anyway the weeklys and monthlys are lanless so theres not crouding the network which is GE... Well that's my rant and I'm sticking to it :) Guillaume Gilbert CGI Canada - Original Message - From: "Tab Trepagnier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 6:15 PM Subject: Re: Reclaiminig LTO Tapes > Gilbert, > > Is there a particular reason you have such a large library with just two > drives?

Deleting old TDP for Oracle backups
Hello I have old TDP for Oracle backups that I want to get rid of. This being the first time I used TDPO, I didn't use a nodename for each database, I used a nodename for each server. So now I have 3 or 4 databases using the same nodename. SOme of these databases have since disappeared and I am stuck with the backups. The Oracle admin can't seem to figure out how to get RMAN to delete the backups and since they are in the active state, they will never expire. I've opened a PMR on this and I'm hoping for a miracle. That Share request about being able to delete 1 file from backups and not only a filespace seems to me would be migty handy here. If anyone out there in TSM land has a recipe, please share. Thanks Guillaume Gilbert CGI Canada
Re: IO errors on tape drives -- Update
Hi all After many trials I finally found out what was wrong. My switch was set in QuickLoop mode and it seems that TSM's driver doesn't like that. After turning it off, everything is working ok.

Questions concerning Netware backups
Hi all We are going to be backing up some Netware soon and I have a few questions from the sysadmins. They use Open File Agent from ArcServe. Is there a similar solution fro TSM? I searched the archives for posts concerning backing up Novell clusters and what I found wasn't to clear. It seems there is no clear cut solution like with MSCS. Is anybody backing up a Novell cluster succesfully? Also, this is the first time I'll be dealing with Netware. Are there any gotchas I should be aware of or does the manuel tell everything I need to know? The client version will probably be 5.1 as will the server. Thanks for the help Guillaume Gilbert CGI Canada
