Re: Stopping backups from running during certain hours

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

My first thought is to blame it on the network.  If you follow that logic then 
have the network boys (girls) lower the priority of the backup traffic during 
that time.  TSM uses well known ports, so it should not be an issue provided 
your network links pass through something with this capability.

*"Could you monitor the TSM sessions and ensure that if one is still going it 
it put on hold from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm during the work week."*

Yes, the above sentence is what I have been tasked with.

Some back-story

We have some non-local nodes that often backup terabytes of data, thereby 
sometimes running for >16-hours and often many days.  Unfortunately, due to 
their physical location and other networking issues, their traffic comes across 
a 10/100 connection. We recently had some "networking slowdowns" and someone 
noticed a large amount of traffic across this switch (never mind the problem 
was actually diagnosed to be a firewall problem) .
 even-though this has been happening for a long, long time.  So, TSM has become 
the whipping-boy for network related slowdowns (<2% of the TSM nodes are not 
local/on private GB connection)

I am not aware of a server-side function/process that can kill a running backup 
(never-mind that a physical body will have to check active backup sessions and 
figure out which might cause problems) and stop the node from reconnecting 
almost immediately (unless something has changed, you can't update a node to 
lock it while it is active).

Re: TSM Server Upgrade from 5.5.5.2 to 6.3.2

I am planning on upgrading our TSM server from v5.5.5.2 to v6.3.2 this weekend. 
I have checked and all of the prerequisites are in place and I think I am 
ready. My only question is, we currently have the v5 database in several  
directories that have several .DSM files in them but also have lots of free 
space in them, more than enough to house the V6 DB even if it doubles in size. 
. According to the upgrade manual, the new directories for the v6 server must 
be empty but I was hoping to be able to use the same directories where the 
current v5 database files live since they have more than enough space and then 
I would eventually delete the old DSM files from the v5 database once the 
upgrade is complete.
When I go to do the upgrade/migration, will it let me use the same directories 
even though they have one or two files in them already? I realize it might slow 
the process down but I am limited on SAN space right now.

Subject: [ADSM-L] migrating tape storage pools

Good morning,

We are in the process of migrating several tape storage pools, both primary and 
copy, from LTO generation x to LTO generation y.

It is easy for primary storage pools, since the incremental backup mechanism is 
taking all the primary storage pools in scope:

* Redirect the backups to an LTO_Y storage pool

* Migrate in the background  the LTO_X storage pool to the LTO_Y with a 
duration of x minutes

However  this does not work for copy storage pools since there is a valid 
reason why a backup would be kept in multiple copy storage pool volumes. But 
this implies that the copy storage pool from generation LTO_Y needs to be 
rebuild from scratch. Which is time consuming and expensive (more tape volumes, 
more slots,more offsite volumes ). Are there really no other workarounds 
available?

An option might be that given the fact we use dedicated device classes for each 
 sequential storage pool and that multiple libraries will be or are  defined 
for each LTO generation:


* A DRM volume is linked to a copy storage pool

* The copy storage pool is linked to a device class

* Hence change the library in the device class from LTO_X to LTO_Y for 
the copy storage pool

Would this workaround work? Then I could perform a daily move data in the 
background to get rid from the LTO_X copy storage pool volumes. Will test it 
myself of course.

It would be great too if IBM  could consider introducing the concept of a  
'copy storage pool group' consisting of multiple copy storage pools that 
contains only 1 backup of the item.  Perhaps I should raise an RFC for it if 
other TSM users find it also a good feature. So please provide me some 
feedback. Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Kurt

Re: Slow backup

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

You said the file system is NFS mounted.  Does that mean there is a NAS server?

To go fast with millions of files you either have to journal or do a block 
level backup.

If the file system is owned by a dedicated NAS device NDMP may be the answer.  
If the file system is owned by an OS that can journal then that is an option.  
If the file system is owned by a virtual server then an image backup from the 
host is an option.

There is a Linux fileserver here that serves web content. It has 21 million

currently there are six client sessions running.  I am looking for ways to 
accelerate the backup of this server since currently it never ends.

The filesystem is NFS mounted so a journal based backup won't work. Recently, 
we added four proxy agents, and are splitting up the one big filesystem among 
them using include/exclude statements. Here is one of the agent's 
include/exclude files.

exclude /ip/[g-z]*/.../*
include /ip/[a-f]*/.../*

__Since we added the proxies the proxy backups are copying many thousands of 
files, as if this were the first backup of the server as a whole. Is that 
expected behavior?

__Recently, the TSM server database is growing faster than it usually does, and 
I'm wondering whether there could be any correlation between the ultra long 
running backup, many thousands of files copied, and the faster pace of the 
database growth.

__The four proxies haven't made a  big difference in the run time of the 
backup. Could something else be done to speed it up?

Re: VM Archive

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I have just one question.
Why archive an entire server?  We have a strict rule to only archive the data 
that is specifically needed.

Don't forget to "write" down the local admin password if you archive to whole 
server.

That is a good idea for one-off archives. I might use that for my current
need, but probably just easier installing a client in the guest for
one-off requests.
Automating it, on the other hand,  with windows scripting, recovery agent
cli, and dynamic disks seems way tough

I remember in the old vcb days, you would have to script the whole
process.  i.e. mount the VM's from the data store with vcbmounter and run
a backup from there.
Is it still possible to mount the VM's like that?  I would think the
binaries are included in the "VMware tools" optional install in the BA
client since that is pretty much what it does for the file-level "backup
vm" but not sure if that is accessible.  Is there a modern replacement for
vcbmounter ?

Have you considered mounting the VM backup and then running the archive?
It's similar to a feature Fastback has for moving data to TSM for long

Re: DBUnload, need for speed

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I recently extracted four TSM DB's to upgrade to 6.2.  The DBs were from about 
120GB to 230GB.
The longest extract was 3:22 and that DB was about 150GB.

I extracted from a cloned copy of the 5.4 DB.  The DB was on 20GB disks, these 
were RAW volumes in AIX.  To speed things up I pinned these disks to SSD in the 
VMax.  About a 20% reduction in time.
The output was to a single volume with a file device class defined to it.  
Nothing special.

The hardware that did the extract is a P6.  Nothing special.

My DBs are not as old, only been around since 2002, but they have never been 
reloaded except when needed to upgrade TSM.

In a VMax SSD is only a big gain if the IO is heavy random read, when 
extracting I found I was about 90% random read.
For the target device, the type of disk is not important because the VMax will 
soak up the sequential writes without an issue.  My target was a thin device 
managed by FAST VP, so it had a large amount of SATA.

I also saw that the process appeared single threaded.  The CPUs I have at 4.x 
GHz.  Not sure about AIX, but in the Windows world cycles matter when it is a 
single thread.

I am also 8Gb FC dual attached active/active to the VMax.  On the VMax make 
sure you are using diverse ports.  10Ea and 10Eb for example use a single CPU.

Perhaps you will find something in my ramblings that helps.

Subject: [ADSM-L] DBUnload, need for speed

Hi TSM-ers!
My TSM databases are running for quite a while (since 4.1) and they are
becoming rather fragmented, one of them more that 25%! It becomes
noticeable too, expiration is running longer and longer.
Our TSM servers are all running in AIX 5.3 on a P-series 570, SAN
attached to a VMAX (OS, DB and LOG) and VNX (diskpool) storage subsystem
and two EMC DL4106 DiskLibraries (VTS without physical tapes).
Unloading the smallest (95 Gb) database takes about 7 hours, loading it
takes about 3.5 hours. These tests are perform with a live database copy
on our test environment. Overall it takes too long to do this on our
live environment.
I tried several scenarios: multiple filesystems, RAW lv's, cio/dio
mounted filesystems, multiple database volumes on multiple filesystems,
everything you can think of, but there's only a small gain in using
multiple volumes on dio mounted filesystems, the rest is marginal or
even worse.
The first part of the unload is running very fast (4 or even 5 million
entries per minute, but at a given point performance drops dramatically.
It's always at the same point (around 80%), so my guess is that that's
the most heavily fragmented part.
The only thing I can think of to speed up the process is to use a
storage device with a very low latency, like SSD, but unfortunately
that's not supported on the P5 series...
Does anybody have some additional tips I can try?
Thanks for your reply in advance!

Does TSM have an iSeries client?  If so, can it do an 'incremental'
backup of the changed data on an AS/400?

Or does it treat the data like a 'blob' and pick it all up each night?



Do you need to use BRMS?

If you use BRMS and point it to TSM via the API, can BRMS do a daily
'incremental' backup of the data and only send changes each night?



We've got an iSeries that has approx. 800 GB of data (of which a small
amount changes daily).

It isn't feasible for us to pick-up all 800 GB each night and send it to
the TSM server (at a remote location) due to bandwidth limitations.

We would be able to send only the 'incremental' changes each night.

exclude.dir /home/oracle/product   - exclude Oracle home from backups

Zoltan,

Update volume wherestatus=offline would mean to do something to volumes
that have a status of offline. I'd think you would have to use

update volume * access=unavailable wherestgpool=
wherestatus=offline

Output from help update volume:

  UNAVailable
   Specifies that neither client nodes nor server processes can
   access files stored on the volume.
   Before making a random access volume unavailable, you must vary
   the volume offline. After you make a random access volume
   unavailable, you cannot vary the volume online.
   If you make a sequential access volume unavailable, the server
   does not attempt to mount the volume.
   If the volume being updated is an empty scratch volume that had an
   access mode of offsite, the server deletes the volume from the
   database.

Re: Tivoli Server Specs

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I have about 500 nodes on my p5's running 5.4 and they are on the edge.
The P7's running 6.2 have less than 250 nodes and are overpowered.

Testing indicates that the upgrade of the p5's to p6's and 6.2 will leave room 
to grow.
All 6.2 servers are 32GB.  The p7's are 2 CPU and the p6's are 4 CPU.  All are 
allowed to steal CPU (LPARs are great).  The disks are SAN attached, I am using 
real and imagined tape and disk pools.
I do not dedup with TSM.

Things to consider:
1. if you can complete your backups in the window you have enough network 
bandwidth
2. if you can complete expiration in a reasonable time you have enough CPU
3. if you can complete reclamation in a reasonable time you have enough storage 
bandwidth

The hard part is all three can be affected by slow disk, not enough RAM and a 
busy CPU.

Profile the current server and see where it is no longer performing to 
expectations and make sure that the weak points are addressed with the new 
hardware.  If an upgrade from 5 to 6 is also happening make sure the new system 
addresses the change in DB.

In my case the p5's are losing the expiration battle, the test runs with 6.2 on 
the p6 show great improvement in run time (faster CPU and some 6.2 
improvements).  I also found my network was staying busy longer during the 
backup window, so I doubled the bandwidth.  In 2 weeks theory becomes reality.

I am sure your situation is different, but I hope this helps.  Others may have 
additions or other ideas.

You can backup to a network share.
If they are using the same tape drives you could also restore from tape.  Care

Subject: [ADSM-L] V5.5 -> V6.2.3 Move - Chicken-and-Egg Question

I am having difficulty reconciling which order to do what based on
documentation that says not to do it the way I have/need to do it.  I am
getting ready to do a complete migration from an old 5.5 server (Linux) to
a brand new box (both hardware and OS).

I need to restore the 5.5 DB, volhist, devconfig and dsmserv.opt to the
new box so I can do the conversion to 6.2.3.

Problem is this.the DB backup will be on an offsite TSM
server, so server-to-server communications is required.

To establish the server-to-server connection from the brand new 5.5
install and the offsite backup server, I need to bring up the new, virgin
5.5 instance and do an "DEFINE SERVER   FORCESYNC=YES".

The Administrator Guide section on "Recovering Your Server Using Database
Backups - Restoring a Database to a Point-In-Time" says that after
formatting the log and database files and BEFORE the "dsmserv restore":

"Attention: Do not start the server until after you restore the database
(the next step). Starting the server before the restore would destroy any
existing volume history files."

But since I have to start the new server to define the connection so I can
restore the database  Or am I simply reading this wrong and they
are assuming the volhist on the machine I am restoring to has the original
volhist (which it wouldn't, at this point).

So, should I simply ignore this and restore the DB and then replace the
volhist/devconfig/dsmserv.opt files on the restored server with the
originals from the server I am replacing/upgrading after I restore the DB
and before performing the upgrade?

As you can tell, this is my first total server upgrade/replacement, so I
am getting anxious about the details/processes/steps.

My current steps are:

Original Server:
1.  Disable client sessions, stop all admin schedules
2.  Empty and delete ALL disk volumes
3.  Backup DB, volhist, devconfig, dsmserv.opt  and HALT server

New Server:
1.  Install 5.5.5.2 - define/format DB volumes
2.  Bring up server and define connection to offsite server with DB backup
3.  Restore DB
4.  Replace volhist, devconfig, dsmserv.opt from backups of original
server
5.  Install 6.2.3
6.  Run /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmupgdx to prepare, convert and insert
5.5 DB into 6.2.3 instance
7.  Change hostname and IP addresses to that of old 5.5 server
8.  Bring up 6.2.3 - redefine disk storage volumes - update server -
forceresync other, library manager servers - update paths

Re: DataDomain and dedup per node

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I am suspicious of dedup ratios in general.  What I found is that I can divide 
my data by 4 and be fairly accurate as to how much storage the DD will need.  
This formula has worked for 2 TSM (12-14:1) and 2 BE (20-25:1) sites, so I 
would not call it proven, expect in my little world.
BRMS seems to be different.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] DataDomain and dedup per node

I was told the only reason EMC recommends to turn off collocation is that
collocation on shoots up the individual volume count-generally and they
also recommend a relatively high reclamation threshold.  I think these 2
factors together might end up in a lost of wasted unreclaimed space.  I
think it would be ok if you were more aggressive with your reclamation.
Something to keep an eye on at the least.

On another note, I've always been suspicious of  whether or not granular
analysis like this is accurate.   The deduplication of a single file would
vary depending on the other data that is on the system, which is
constantly changing.   If you delete all the other files that share data
with this one, will the deduplication factor of this file should shoot up?
 If so, than the deduplication ratio means nothing for a single file like
a compression ratio would.  I think it really only applies to the storage
pool as a whole.

Using collocation to identify "bad dedupe citizens" sounds reasonable, but
only if the values being returned by the "filesys show compression"
command is accurate.  Is that data dynamically updated?  Are the
individual file deduplication ratios immediately update automatically as
data is written or cleaned?  I remember Falconstor only recorded the
deduplication ratio of a virtual tape at the time the data was written and
was not updated.   I find it hard to believe this is dynamically
maintained by the data domain, but I'd definitely want to know before
switching to colocation for this purpose.

Deduplication adds an abstraction layer between the file metadata and the
actual storage.  I don't see how you could really get an accurate picture
of the true storage an individual file is occupying since it is sharing
space.  Say there are 10x 100MB files sharing 50 percent of their data
with each other.  How much space is one of those files occupying?

[ADSM-L] DataDomain and dedup per node






Hi Everyone,

As we have been implementing our two new DD boxes we have been
setting them up like our existing two DD boxes - file devices
with the pool NOT collocated.  This is what DD recommends and
it seems to work very well this way.

But, I've been thinking about collocating anyway!

I was poking around the DD command line and found that you
can get the dedup/compression information for any individual
directory or file.  For example, below is the dedup/comp
factors for a file volume in a pool with one node I'm testing with:

In this case, this vol is getting a 4.6x overall dedup/comp factor.

So, if I collocate the pool in TSM I should be able to use "q nodedata
" to get a list of vols used by a node, then I can query the DD to
get the dedup/comp stats for that node.  A little scripting and I can
generate a report of dedup/comp ratios by TSM node.  This would help us
maintain which nodes make sense to put/keep on the DD.

Just curious if anyone is using collocation for a DD file pool?  To do so
would use more volumes and more filling volumes,

TSM File device Class File names

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I have server A using sequential device class on a Data Domain.  All of it 
works well.
I have server DR in a remote location with the replication partner for the Data 
Domain.
I can restore the DB to server DR with no problems.  The problem starts when I 
try to restore data.  Server A uses lowercase file names and Server DR is 
looking for uppercase file names.  Because the DD is case sensitive the files 
do not exist.
How can I make the TSM servers use the same case file names?  Why are they not 
already since Server DR is a restored copy of Server A?
The paths to the storage are exactly the same and there is no issue restoring 
the DB.

Re: RFE 17805

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I may be missing some subtlety, but when I built a DR site for one of my 
servers, I built the DR server to "see" exactly the same file systems and 
shares as the production system.  The system uses no tape.

The production server writes to a de-duplicating array that replicates the data 
to a remote site.  At the remote site I have a cold TSM server.  All I need to 
do is copy a few files from the replicated array to the DR TSM server and run a 
DB restore.  I "correct" the names of a few things with the hosts file on the 
DR TSM server.

For the nodes I do not have to reconfigure anything, I just have DNS resolve to 
the address of the DR TSM server.  For a test we only alter hosts files.

The failover is not automated, but that is a choice.  There is an admin script 
with all of the commands so the admin simply needs to run the commands.

It would be nice if copy tapes could be promoted, that would be a nice solution 
for some other sites.

Re: delete node data from copy stg pool

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

Not directly.  You can delete (at your own risk) the copy volumes with the 
unwanted node.  The next backup storage pool will "recopy" the other data that 
was deleted.
We have done this when nodes have been moved between pools.

Re: TSM 6.2 server restarts

I certainly hope TSM 6.2 does not need to be restarted.  I am just getting it 
installed.

If you are seeing a performance drop after it runs a long time ('long time' is 
variable, here 'a while' is 6 months) you should open a PMR to get the problem 
documented and fixed.

I do not subscribe to the 'restart just because' theory.  I have run systems 
for years without a restart, including Windows.  My only Windows TSM server has 
only been up a little while, it was installed in December.  The AIX ones have 
been up a while or longer.

Are you seeing a performance problem?

Re: server excludes

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I would suggest back it all up.  Our goal is to return the server to "as it 
was".  Others can successfully argue that it is not needed and is wasting 
space.  We do exclude the various temps and other things that are backed up 
through other means, such as DB files.
If I were to exclude such things, I would target user profiles, not service 
profiles, virus definitions, temp, Server Tools directories and i386 (if your 
admins still do that).  I am sure there are others.
I am not sure how much of that is grabbed by the system backups.
Hopefully that helps some.

Re: Firewall problem

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

Maybe this will help.
We have a firewall rule that allows all of the DMZ servers to contact the TSM 
servers and the TSM servers are allowed in on specific ports.
In the opt files we have these lines:
httpport 
webports  

All of our servers run the CAD.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Firewall problem

Hi Everyone,

We have six TSM v5.5.5 instances (on AIX)  named TSM1 to TSM6.   All six
instances  handle backups for nodes that are  behind firewalls, although
only five work.  The six instances are on separate servers, so each has
it's own  IP address and firewall rules.  The firewall rules are all
identical so we can put any node on any TSM server.

We cannot get firewall backups to work to our TSM5 instance.  Since it was
brought up a couple years ago we have fought to get firewall backups to
work but have failed.  Nodes out behind a firewall are able to contact the
TSM server, a sessions is established, then it is immediately
disconnected.  This repeats over and over as the node retries.  You can
sometimes see 50 or more sessions - all hung - for a firewalled node.
We've done everything we can think of:  check/double/triple checked FW
rules, talked with IBM support, run traces for them, check AIX setup,
checked TSM5 setup, compared anything related to TSM5 to the other working
instances.  If we move the node to one of our other TSM instances it
worked just fine!! In all, we firgured this HAD to be a firewall setup
problem of some kind.

This past weekend we move TSM5 (and TSM6 also) to new servers/lpars.  The
new servers had to have new IP addresses and run a newer AIX v6.  We've
done this upgrade for the other TSM servers already.  With new IP
addresses we had to create new FW rules.  We figured that with a whole new
setup FW backups would have to work - we're kicking it real hard NOPE
- it didn't help!   The only thing that didn't change in this server swing
was the actual TSM instance.  It seems our FW backup problem on this one
instance HAS to be in TSM itself.

Question:  Is there any setting in TSM that could explain failing backups
for firewalled servers?

Thanks

Rick

Re: Using Datadomain for replication

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

I just tested it with the TSM server, Windows did not have an issue connecting 
to the remote DD as if it was the local one with a simple hosts change.  So my 
idea of changing the hosts file will work.

The target is read-only, during a test or DR this would be changed.  In a test 
you would use a copy of TSM to hit a copy of the data, once the test is done 
overwrite the targets.  In a DR you would use the survivors.  Nothing here 
should be unexpected.

That's fine, but it will fail even though you point the host entry to the DR
box. This is CIFS and the \\hostname\backup has to match the one of the DDR
you're pointing to. By default on the DDR the hostname is the CIFS NBT name
used. You can change the CIFS NBT name to something different (CIFS SET
nb-hostname ) ...like the original servername in the devclass
without changing the hostname in the DDR. But that could lead to confusion.

Plus the target of the DDR replication is read-only. You'll have to break
the replication or make sure you don't write to those volumes.

I was hoping  to use a drive letter mapping for my DDR, but the question is
how to do this for a service that runs at startup. I have my TSM Server1
service set to run-as a local user that is also defined on the DDR so
authentication just passes on through. But how to map a drive automatically
when the service starts or the server starts

Then I could just do a snapshot of the target DDR ( as long as it's not
container replication) map my drive to the read/write snapshot and proceed
on.

Ämne: Question concerning large filepools on HP EVA

Hi

We have a customer running TSM with a large (+130TB) HP EVA 64000 as a large 
filepool (multi-directory). After a few months, they got problems with disks 
breaking down in the EVA box, ending up having raidarrays in almost a constant 
state of rebuild. After talking to HP, the advice they got was to try to reduce 
the load on the box since it shouldnt be used more than 30% of the time during 
24 hours.

Initially, the customer used deduplication on the box which probably put even 
more stress on it, but this is now turned off. The problem still exists however.

Has anyone else had issues with large diskboxes in combination with file device 
pools? According to HP, this is due to the high amount of I/O that TSM 
produces, but I've seen non-SATA boxes handle alot more I/O than this. So the 
question is, is it because of the use of SATA drives, or is this a problem with 
just this model/box?

The box is equipped with 1TB HP labeled S-ATA disks and the customer has a 
small SAS-based diskbox to handle daily backups and then migrates to the HP EVA 
box. Data is then backed up to a remote LTO-based tape library.

Another problem related to the same pool is that file device volumes that has 
been reclaimed (0.0% usage) is not returned as scratch and deleted, but is held 
within the storage pool as a volume with 0.0% usage. Anyone know of any related 
issues with file device volumes not being deleted?

Customer is at v6.2 on RedHat Enterprise Linux, and we've checked permissions 
on both directories and files of the file device volumes, aswell as the TSM 
activity log, but cannot see any relevant issues.

Best Regards

Daniel Sparrman

Re: Backing up Centera?

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

There are 2 reasons to backup a Centera:
1. If you only have one Centera and feel that maybe 1 copy of an archive is not 
safe.
2. If you do not believe replication is a good way to spread around data 
corrupted by an application.

Systems do fail due to inside and outside forces so I think it is a good idea 
to keep 2 copies of data in different locations.
Applications do have the ability to corrupt and delete data, tape, or a tape 
like substance, is a good way to keep an application from getting to all of the 
copies.

Greetings,
No disrespect intended, but you are missing the fundamental
rationale behind the Centera.  It is an archiving platform, not a
primary storage platform.  It is intended to be the last platform the
data ever resides on.  It has replication capabilities, so you can keep
another copy off-site on another Centera for redundancy purposes, but
since the data on it should be archive data, you should not be backing
it up, and you should not need to.  You don't need to back up an
archive, since it is static data that is no longer being used for
production processing.
That also means that you should not be sending data to it that you
intend to use for primary production applications.  It is a good
platform for email archive, or application data that is no longer being
used on a daily basis, but might be needed at a later date for legal
discovery or other reasons.
EMC has had the Centera platform around for many years, and they
always try to steer people away from trying to use the Centera for
purposes outside of it's intended design.

Re: Tape or NFS? (DataDomain specifically)

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

We run two DDs with VTL and 4 TSM servers.  I have had no real problems with 
the setup.  The VTL cost was not an issue due to the AS/400 requiring it.  We 
do push data to the systems faster than 10GbE, also our Ethernet network is not 
built to handle the data load from where the TSM servers are to where the DDs 
are located.  About 1 mile.
With that said we are currently building a new TSM server that will use CIFS.  
In this case the network was built with DD in mind.
Happiness may come from what is comfortable for you to manage.  For us it was 
easier to transition to a VTL than to NFS.  It took about an hour to point TSM

DDs do have a stream limit, so we always build a disk pool in front to handle 
the hundreds of incoming streams and to handle incoming data when the DD is 
down for maintenance.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Tape or NFS? (DataDomain specifically)

We've been told by consultants (these particular consultants shouldn't throw 
stones) that DataDomain customers running TSM are far happier running NFS than 
VTL, because DDRs are built primarily as file servers and the VTL function is 
an add-on.

I can see the financial motive for staying with NFS (those VTL licenses aren't 
cheap!), but I'm skeptical about the implication that there's a functional or 
performance advantage to using NFS over VTL for a TSM server, in our case on 
AIX.

Would anyone who's run both or chosen NFS care to comment? How much does it 
depend on your infrastructure or your needs for LAN-free?

Thanks,
Nick

Re: Can tsm resore winodws cluster printer defs

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

This seems incorrect.  Printers are local devices, not AD objects.

It depends on what you mean by printer definition.  The definition a users uses 
to print?  The definition that the server uses to share/print?

User definitions are in the user profile, did you get that user's ntuser.dat?
Server definitions are in the system registry, selectively restoring keys from 
a Windows server is interesting and documented elsewhere.

I do not think clustering matters because you cannot cluster a printer unless 
2008 has a new trick.

Re: vtl versus file systems for pirmary pool

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

Another consideration is that FC is faster than Ethernet. 8GB FC > 10GB FCoE
Ether-Over-Head is much greater than FC over-head.

Also, virtual tape libraries will fit nicely with your companies virtualization 
strategy, where file device class storage does not.

We currently use VTL, our next iteration of TSM (3 years) will most likely be 
File device class storage.

I would say there is no real advantage either way.  Both types of storage have 
unique "features".  For us the Ethernet network was not built to handle the 
data load to where our storage is and we had existing FC.

The one drop-dead difference is that if you want to do LAN-Free, the target has 
to be a tape (or tape-emulating) device.
Can't use TSM filepools.

If you replicate between VTL's, it's transparent to TSM, but you have to have 
the same vendor hardware at both sites.
Dedup may also be faster with a VTL, if your VTL does it in-line.
Also a VTL is often quicker to set up (which doesn't necessarily mean it is 
easier to maintain, if you consider firmware updates, multiple maintenance 
contracts, etc.)


TSM 6.2 has to dedup as part of the reclaim process, post-data-landing-there. 
That isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just a different way.
To get replication of the deduped data, you have to set up a second/copy pool 
yourself; but it does not have to be the same hardware on both ends.

There is nothing about having a VTL/VTL gateway that inherently means you can 
do fewer concurrent backups than with a TSM filepool,  depends on your 
hardware.  You can have a fast VTL or a slow crappy VTL, just depends on what 
you pay for...

What advantage does VTL emulation on a disk primary storage pool have

as compared to disk storage pool that is non vtl ?



It appears to me that a non vtl system would not require the daily reclamation 
process

and also allow for more client backups to occur simultaneously.

We had a request that sounds similar from our legal department.  We collocated

Thanks, though with 20+ tapes of their data...  I suspect there's an
easier way I'd overlooked:  checkout the volumes, hand the tapes over,
then destroy the volumes with discarddata=yes. On my first quick pass
through TFM I'd thought the discarddata=yes would try to physically
erase the tape, but it looks like it just removes the database entries
for the backed-up data, which is fine.

Does the library manager always respond on the same port, or can it be made to? 
 Is so you could open that port on the firewall.  The rule could allow that IP

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM and keepalive packets

We have a TSM 6.2.2.0 server configured as a library manager. One of
the library manager clients is a TSM 5.5.4.0 server. Both run under
mainframe Linux. TCP connections between the two TSM servers pass
through a firewall. Some TCP connections involved in library
management are idle for long periods. Sessions for tape mounting
may wait a long time for a tape drive to become available. Sessions
for ejecting tape volumes (triggered by 'move drmedia' commands with
'tostate=vault') may wait a long time for somebody to unload the
library I/O station. Sessions that are inactive tend to fail with
ANR3174E messages on the library manager. We suspect that this happens
because the firewall drops TCP sessions that are idle for too long.
We are hoping to prevent the session drops by having keepalive packets
sent at sufficiently short intervals. As I understand the process, the
program that opens a socket decides whether keepalive packets will be
sent, and operating system parameters determine how often keepalive
packets will be sent if a program requests them for a particular
connection. Is this correct? Does TSM request keepalive packets for
TCP connections involved in library management? Do we need to get
the tcp_keepalive_time below the firewall time limit on the host
system for the library manager, the host system for the library
manager client, or both?

David, Andu,

AFAIK, an USB key is seen a "removable storage" whereas an USB disk is
seen as a "fixed local disk" on Windows systems. That's the reason why
USB keys are NOT backed up and USB drives are backed up when an
incremental on an ALL-LOCAL domain is run.

Maybe is there a Windows registry trick to change this situation.

ANR8485E

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

We received 47 of these errors this morning:
WARNING: TSM: ANR8485E No drives are available to be mounted in R/W mode with 
format 0080 in library IBM3494.~ Source:TSM-TSM_SERVER

We have not see it before and I cannot find what format code 0080 means.  
We are at a loss as to what caused it.  Like everyone with a problem we did not 
change anything and the problem stopped as quickly as it started.

They all happened when the library manager was mounting a tape for another TSM 
server.

Does anyone know where I can find out what format code 0080 is?  The only 
things I find on the web seem to have something to do with NDMP, which is not 
the case here.

Is there a way to exclude backup of USB drives on Windows clients?
Of course if you know the drive letter you can!

I am having more cases of these being used and with most of
my clients being set to DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL, when somebody inserts
one of these things, I back it up - or try to.

If I changed to specifying individual drives, this would cause more
problems as many servers get drive config changes and adds, and
I would have to keep up with them - or miss something.

Wondered if there is a trick to blanket exclude USB drives.
Saw nothing in the Manuals.

Re: tsm and data domain

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

We use ours as VTL because it was a very simple replacement of the existing 
VTL.  We only use 48 drives and use disk pools to catch the incoming backups.  
The other advantage of VTL for us is speed.  We have very limited 10Gb Ethernet 
and loads of 4Gb FC.  1Gb would be far too slow.
We did look and using NFS, but the network ruled that out.

I have had DD implemented for about a year now, but I fail to understand
why anyone would utilize the DD VTL license when using TSM?

Mine are setup as a simple SAN device with defined directories that
correspond to my TSM primary storage pools. I have the device calss in
TSM set as the type "file" and let TSM manage the virtual volumes as it
would any other disk storage. There is another DD system that is located
at our DR facility, and all data including TSM DB backups are replicated
to that location. This allows me to no longer have copy pools.

I have "cold" stand-by TSM servers at my DR site that can be recovered
and online within 1-2 hours and ready to recover systems.
Plus I save the cost of VTL licenses and the storage requirements for
the copy poolsand using the "file" device class means I really do
not have to be concerned with mount point limits.

Interested in feedback.

Tim,

We are right  conducting a POC with  a pair of DD860, and are relatively
satisfied with them.  The machines are mostly used as VTL except for a
small NFS partition which is used or TSM DB backups.
Deduplication rate is OK : around 10 so far, with a good mix of
Exchange, Oracle, DB2 as well as Win and AIX data.
Ingestion rate is corresponding to our needs, slightly more than  1 GB/s
, and the possibility to define plenty drives.

Negative or "no so impressive"  points, so far :  deduplication rate is
a "global" factor, impossible to know what type of data dedupes better
than another one, thus lowering the granularity of deduplication
monitoring .
We also experienced pretty long initialization times for the TSM server
attached to a virtual library having 100 drives : at restart  TSM server
needs at least 15 minutes to recognize all the drives, thus generating
numerous client errors, as  they try to get a drive which is defined but
not available. We still have to experiment if defining more smaller
libraries would solve that issue ...
At least replication :  it is still unclear  for me what would be
happening if we do rely on replication to replace copy storage pools,
and if our TSM  server crashes on primary site while replication is not
completed. To my mind the virtual volumes contents would not be matching
TSM DB content : not sure so far on how to handle such a situation ...

Hope this helped !

Cheers

Arnaud

Re: Restore trouble on Virtuel W2K3 server.

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

Without any detail it is hard to say why it did not work.

We have restored many W2k3 servers by dropping an OS down and restoring the old 
OS on top. We have done it with real and imagined servers.
There are some fatal traps...
1. The target of the restore needs to be similar hardware, real or imagined.
2. The target needs to be the same SP and close to the original in patches.  
There are a few patches that can be fatal if not applied first.
3. We find it best if the target has the same name.  Does not need to be in the 
domain.
4. This one may be just us, but the Windows directory needs to be the same.

There are work arounds to most, if not all, of the above; but for simplicity 
those rules work.
We have a batch job that does the TSM part, it is only 2 or 3 commands.

I do not think it is possible to do restore like this - you need to use some

In addition, you can just clone VM instead of using TSM, if source and target

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM & client machine renames

Hello all,

We are contemplating a massive Active Domain reorganization which would involve 
renaming hundreds of Windows machines that we backup into TSM.  We forsee a few 
problems with this, and I am looking to see if any other TSM sites have faced a 
similar problem and what they did to address it.

The problems:
1. Renaming a Windows system will result in TSM making a fresh backups for the 
volumes on that system (because the system name is part of the filespace name). 
 Renaming the filespace on the TSM server will address this, but timing is a 
problem.  If you rename the filespace a day early or a day late, you will still 
end up with extra backups.

2. TSM likes to replace DOMAIN C: statements with DOMAIN \\systemname\C$.  If 
the systemname changes, then the TSM backup will fail, because it won't be able 
to find the old systemname (unless and until the DOMAIN statement is updated).  
Again, with so many machines, updating all those DSM.OPT files will be 
problematic.

3. If we have a large number of unintended extra backups, TSM server resources 
(database size and stgpool capacity) will be stretched.


Having a tool that would allow our customers to rename their TSM filespaces 
on-demand would be a big help.  As we do not give out policy domain privileges, 
we cannot use dsmadmc to do this.  I am looking for other solutions that any of 
you might have developed, or even just thought about.  If the TSM BA client 
allowed a user to rename their filespace, that would be a great solution.  But 
it's not there.

Thanks for any help (or condolences).

..Paul

Re: question about journal

Journal based backups do not always make the backup faster, so I would not 
recommend it for all Windows systems.  There is also overhead involved when you 
turn on journaling.
TSM will do a full scan of the file systems if you are not journaling.  "Full 
backup" does not really apply when talking about TSM.

I ran into that problem a few years back.  You will have to reduce your volumes.

You may be running out of file handles. Based on your numbers, I'd guess there 
is a per-process limit of 1024 file handles.  Your storage volumes are using 
most of them and there aren't enough left over for TSM to do what it needs to 
(open a message file, etc).

Assuming mainframe Linux is equivalent to other platforms, look into the ulimit 
command (ulimit -a will show the various resource limits).

Re: What are you using to back up laptops/desktops in your environment?

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

We use both TSM and Avamar to backup Wintel and Winamd end user systems.  TSM 
is used for the "critical" systems and Avamar for all others.  TSM is mostly 
for servers.
Avamar seems to be working fine in its 3rd month here.  You may have issues 
with how Avamar ages data.  In the TSM world the last backup, or active copy, 
stays until it is deleted by someone.  In the Avamar world data is deleted on 
schedule.  If you need more Avamar details let me know.

Subject: [ADSM-L] What are you using to back up laptops/desktops in your

Hello Group,

I would like to know what products other TSM folks are using to back up
laptops and desk tops in their environment?   We have a business
requirement that started out with only backing up  an average of '200'
termed laptops/workstations and need to keep the termed employees data for
10 years.   Now the business would like us to look into backing up all our
laptops and workstations(approximately 2,000 Wintel desktops and 600
Wintel laptops).   We believe the average capacity used may be 5-10GB. Our
laptops are already encrypted with encryption software.We have some
remote offices with laptops(maybe 20 laptops).

We are currently started looking into the EMC Avamar product and IBM so
far?

Anyone using Avamar, if yes, how is it working out for you,any gotcha's?
Anyone using other products that may fit our needs?


Background of our current backup environment:
TSM Server:  5.5.4.0
TSM OS:  AIX, 5.3
We eliminated our physical tape environment in our open systems and
mainframe environment last year.   We replaced our EDLs and physical tape
libraries with Data Domains.   We emulated VTL library for 95% of our
clients and have an NFS share for database logs and important TSM files.
Then we replicate our opens systems(TSM) data domain and our mainframe
data domain to an offsite data domain for DR recovery.

Re: draining a diskpool when using a DD and no copypool

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

We use our DD880s as VTLs and we have 80 imaginary tape drives in each DD.  We 
get this message many times every day:
Mar 21 00:08:41 DD880 ddfs[5400]: WARNING: MSG-NFS-6: Too many open file 
system streams. 17 files accessed in the past 30-seconds, with 0 files reopened 
for read, and 1 files reopened for write.

Support has told us that we do not have too many streams.  The stream limit is 
not a hard limit.
The message mostly occurs during migration from our disk pools, although this 
one is during the backup window.

Also a front end disk pool is a good idea if you cannot handle an hour outage 
for the code upgrades.

I misspoke . . .we have DD880's.  It's limit is 180 sessions.

The manual states the limit rather strangely . . It says:

Platform  Ram  Total  Max   Max WriteMaxMixed
  Write with OptDup  Read
DD88064gb   180   180  9050 <= 180 writes and
<= 50 reads

This seems to say there is a MAX of only 50 read sessions.  In asking for
a clarification about this I was told that it's basically 180 sessions max
of any combined type, and this includes replication sessions.  It doesn't
read that way, but that's what I was told.  Oh - "OptDup" is low bandwidth
optimization for replication - something to help really, really slow
replication connections.

upd.2

Hello all,



I'm having 3 new Windwos 2008 R2 (64-bit) servers with TSM for Windows
cleitn version 6.2.2.0 installed.

The TSM clients are within a DMZ as well as the TSM servers. TSM client
acceptor daemon is implemented to manage the TSM cleitn scheduler as
well as the WEB client. On all three machines there is MS ForeFront 2010
upgrade 2 installed which is a MS firewall, most likely replaceing the
formerly ISA product from Microsoft.

All three TSM clients are configured with 'schedule mode = prompted'.
For some unkonwn reason the TSM server is not prompting the TSM clients
to start the backlup operations. However, when I'm restarting the TSM
CAD service the backup begins, but just this one. Later scheduled
backups do not start again as before. So it looks like only the TSM
client is able to start a session with the TSM server. We have applied
some 'inbound rules' aleady to the MS ForeFront configuration to allow
all traffic for the backup network, tcpip ports 1500-1599 and the whole
backup network as well without any success. We have also de-installed
the MS ForeFront software again to see is this is really causing the
problem. Without MS ForeFront, no problem.

Is there anybody out there, using this or a similar environemt who had
experienced the same problems or better is abel to provide a solution or
further debigging hints?



Thanks in advance and have nice weekend,

Rainer

Hi everyone,

We will be shortly be helping with a DataDomain (DD)

The DD will be used as a NAS device via a file type pool.

Currently, there is the normal DISK->TAPE hierarchy

1)  use movedata

chg DISK nextpool to DD
chg DD nextpool   to TAPE
movedata from TAPE to DD

current: DISK->TAPE
transition:  DISK->DD->TAPE   movedata TAPE back to DD to clear out old
pool
final:   DISK->DD

We control the movedata process with scripts.


2)  use migration

chg DISK nextpool to DD
chg TAPE nextpool to DD
migration from TAPE to DD

current: DISK->TAPE
transition:  DISK->DD<-TAPE   migrate TAPE to DD to clear out old pool
final:   DISK->DD

Migration runs process automatically.


3)  Other ???

Are they any other ways do this?

Re: copypool-only TSM server on a VM

I am not sure I understand.
You want to build virtual TSM servers with no storage pools to funnel the data 
to a physical TSM with storage pools to reduce the workload on the physical 
server?  What work are you trying to reduce since the physical server will 
still have the data on its network connection and on its storage devices.

a server-to-server copy pool does not need to do I/O to tape devices. It sends 
its files to the target TSM server which does the tape I/O.  So, potentially, 
several TSM servers built on virtual machines could send virtual volumes to one 
physical TSM server target with tape I/O capability. Primary pools would be 
defined on the source servers, but they would be marked unavailable permanently.

Each TSM server on a virtual machine would have two copy pools: one on-site and 
the other off-site; instead of an on-site primary pool and an off-site copy 
pool.

The reason for doing this would be; to divide the backup load into smaller 
chunks across more TSM servers, to avoid buying more physical servers, and to 
share tape drives without using a Library Manager.

A detriment of this setup would be that reclamation of the copypools would be 
degraded with no primary tape pools to read from.

Are there other obvious or subtle problems with this idea? Or, is it 
brilliant?...

Which copypool would restore files come from? How would that be managed?

Our TSM license is based on TB in primary storage, so extra licenses are not a 
factor.

Please, don't be shy.

Re: WinPE File Level restore

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

This is a test build so we installed the same level agent on the victim server 
as we used with WinPE.  We used 5.5.2.1 because the doc we had said to use 
5.5.x.
We will test the backup today to make sure it is good.
We are PIXI booting the server to WinPE then running TSM from a mapped drive.  
The idea is to recover a system without touching it and to do it faster than 
installing the OS first.  Since we have $Zero for this we have to do it with 
tools we have.

Re: Memory usage issues with "traditional scheduler service" on Windows

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

It is in part a cop-out.  Windows may not always reclaim memory from a service 
when it shrinks its memory.  Also a service simply may not shrink its memory.  
I do not know which is the case here.
We have always used the CAD to stop and start the scheduler as needed to avoid 
this problem.  The CAD does not increase its memory usage so it does not suffer 
from either problem.
Also, when trending memory usage be sure to track page file usage and free 
memory, Windows will page inactive code as needed.  Also, if there is several 
GB free your level of urgency may change.

I have a client/admin complaining about excessive memory usage by the
client scheduler, since upgrading the client from  6.1.2.0 to 6.2.2.0.

Before, dsmcsvc.exe was using around 21mb.  Now it is using from 178mb
(today) to spiking over 1gb.

They did some digging and found various articles/docs that talks about
using the CAD/managedservices to help reduce the memory footprint.

One thing that disturbs me is the statement "Tip: Restart the traditional
scheduler periodically to free system resources previously used by system
calls.".

You can read this here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/t_cfg_schdcad.html

This sounds like a cop-out to address memory leaks.

How many of you "restart the scheduler service periodically to free system
resources"?

Re: TSM + VTL and physical tape library

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

We use a disk pool to catch the data during the backup window.  300-400 
simultaneous sessions.
We have physical tape to create our off-site (copy pools) copy.
We have VTLs to store the on-site (primary) copy of the data.
It has been that way for 5 years.  Various pieces have been replace.

As far as making TSM act like other backup applications, I think it can be 
done, but I am not sure why.  There are previous discussions on this.

We only send certain primary pools to the copy pools, so you can control what 
is written to the copy pools.

If your DB is growing, be sure you are running expiration.  Also reclamation 
should be run on a regular schedule.

Hi all,
I'm involved in a TSM + VTL project but, unfortunately, I'm quite new in TSM 
world: please apology me if I make trivial questions:
My customer has currently got 4 TSM instances copying to a small disk pool and 
then to an IBM Tape library.
They would like to introduce a VTL in the existing environment to improve 
overall performances and give TSM servers a little break.

My questions:

1. TSM catalog is growing too much. Would VTL help them to reduce its size ? 
When data are copied offline (I suppose via a copy pool), does the catalog 
still keeps track of them?
2. Physical tape generation from Virtual media is really important in this 
project: customer would like to keep fresh backups on VTL and old ones on 
tape. With other BU applications this would be quite easy but, since TSM has 
got a peculiar way to manage files (versions), I am a confused: do you think 
that defining the tape library as a copy pool is a good idea? What level of 
granularity can I reach with the storage policies and copy pools? Can I 
simulate the lifecycle policy of other backup applications ? Can I tell 
migrate XX backup to tape after 1 month and remove it from the VTL and stuff 
like that ?
3. Any real life experience to share ? The candidates for this project are 
Centricstor and DXi 7500 (or the new DXi 8500).

Re: Need to understand TSM restoration concept.

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

Another way to look at it is TSM keeps a copy of every file on the server at 
the time of the backup.  TSM knows what day it saw each file on the server.  
When you do a restore, either from the last backup or a point in time, TSM 
restores only the files that were present during the point you are restoring 
from. (there are retention limitations)
For me it is easier to explain knowing TSM never makes a full backup, TSM only 
backs up the files it does not have.  The first backup it backs up all of the 
files because it does not have them.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Need to understand TSM restoration concept.

Hello, I'm new to TSM. I've been doing some reading on this TSM progressive 
incremental backup. My understanding with this backup, there is only one full 
backup (the base) and then incremental after that. Suppose I've been backing up 
a new server for 28th days, then I need to restore data backup on the 15th day, 
how do I restore all the data? Sorry for asking as I'm used to the conventional 
backup & restore method with Legato. Appreciate if someone can advice me.

Thanks

Re: Webport defaults

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

The port is random unless you define it. You need to allow the program to 
listen, once it is allowed to listen it will tell the TSM server what port to 
use.
Try this on 2008 and 2008 R2: (use at your own risk, but it is what I use)
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="IBM Tivoli Storage Manager CAD" 
dir=in program="C:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmcad.exe" action=allow

To define the ports add this in the dsm.opt and set the node definition on the 
TSM server to match.
httpport 1581
webports 1501 1581

What are the default ports for the webport option?
Tcpclientport is 1501.

I am running into problems on win 2008, and need to know what are the defaults 
so as to open up the firewall.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Data Domain: Data Domain, and SQL-Backtrack with Sybase databases

[Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT]

What is your compression rate from the node?  If it is in the same range of the 
DataDomain then do you really care?

Subject: [ADSM-L] Data Domain: Data Domain, and SQL-Backtrack with Sybase 
databases

Hello,

I'm looking for anyone who is using SQL-Backtrack for Sybase and Data
Domain/TSM?

We are replacing our Virtual Tape libraries and physical tape library with
Data Domains.  One here onsite and another at our DR location.   We have
setup the Data Domain to emulate VTL.

We are experiencing poor deduplication rates on our SQL-Backtrack Sybase
compressed databases only.   We see a 1:1:1 dedup ratio on Sybase data
backed up with Backtrack.

When the data is not compressed, we see dedup ratios anywhere from 5:1 to
150:1 on some tapes.   Obviously, as you add backup versions of the same
DB on DataDomain, each new version gets better dedup because a lot of
common blocks are already on the appliance.   But, of course then the
backup runs 2x as long which is not acceptable for our RPO.   Our
DB2-UDB,MS-SQL,and Domino TDP all are seeing much better dedup rates.



Background:

TSM Server Version: 5.5.4.0
TSM Client:  5.5.2.0
TSM Client Sybase Version: ASE 15.0.3
TSM Client SQL-Backtrack Version:  6.8
Data Domain:  Model:  880
Data Domain OS Version:  4.8.1.0
