The closest thing I can come up with is
Disable server

But this prevents all client connections.

To disable schedules, add the line

Disablescheds yes

To the dsmserv.opt file, then restart the server.

When you want to restart schedules, comment out the line, and restart the tsm 
server again.

I'm trying to figure out to enable and disable client schedules 
from the command line. I've looked over the online help and elsewhere but no 
luck.

If the command was for an admin sched I would do "update sched 
something type=admin active=yes/no" . But I don't see a similar command for 
client schedules.

Re: snapdiff advice

I have the same issue...at least it sounds the same, with messages like
this
(Paraphrased)
ANS4013E Invalid File Handle, and ANS4007E Access to the object denied

I have been manually toggling virus scanning off and triggering manual
backups of the errant files.  That gets them backed up.
Size of the file seems to be a factor...but not always.

Re: querying client backups from the server?

[Huebschman, George J.]

Jim,
I take it you read Richard's reply.
Richard Sims is a pretty high authority.  I listen carefully to what he
says.

This issue has been discussed on here in the past.

You said, "Understood, but for various reasons it'd be nice to have an
alternative."

I can relate to that.  Early on, I didn't have access to any of
the AIX/SUN/Linux client servers nor to most of the Windows client
servers and their passwords, yet I was expected to be able to prove what
mgmt class was bound to a file.  So, I had to resort to this.  I was
warned that TSM could get its knickers in a twist with this.  It
traverses the largest table in the DB, tread carefully.

(Actually, for the Windows clients I could have installed TSM on my
desktop and run dsmc from there.  I would have had to update the
password at the server, and then afterwards have someone on the Windows
Team update it on the actual client.  But the Windows folks would have
murmured darkly about me making unapproved changes to production servers
or installing software on my desktop without approval...)

That said:
You are asking how to do a select against the backups table.
The oldest schema I have is for 5.4.
If you run, "select * from columns where tabname='BACKUPS' ", you can
see the one current to your 5.3 server.

I don't know what you are trying to look up, but limit the scope of the
query as much as possible with exact node_names, AND
filespace_names/filespace_ids, AND state (active or inactive).  The
backup_date is not an indexed column, but it seems to be beneficial to
keep the date range of your select small.

I hope that helps.  Stay out of trouble

George H.

Re: querying client backups from the server?

[Huebschman, George J.]

Jim,

Yes, but...
The sql table for backups is very large and selects against it are very
resource intensive.
If it is possible to do, the Client query backup command is more
efficient.

You did not say what version of TSM Server and what OS you have.

Re: TSM Client Return Codes - Failed or partial failed

[Huebschman, George J.]

* A client can have failed objects in the Schedule Summary report
without having a failed backup.
The Return Codes from the Client RC 0, RC 4, RC 8, and RC 12 determine
whether or not a Scheduled backup fails.
A Scheduled backup can FAIL with NO failed files.  That used to drive me
crazy, but that is a short trip for me.


* Messages like these in the Client's dsmerror log should NOT cause RC
12 return codes (FAIL):
 ANS4037E Object \\...\\ changed during processing. Object
skipped.
 ANS4005E Error processing '\\path\to\file.tmp': file not
found
 ANS1228E Sending of object
'\\path\to\file_important_Workbook.xlsx' failed
 ANS4987E Error processing
'\\path\to\file_important_Workbook.xlsx': the object is in use by
another process

A "file... changed during processing" error (ANS4037E) happens
when a file has changed between the inventory and actually backup
attempt.  TSM skips it but does not fail the backup event.
A file not found error (ANS4005E)occurs because the client can
not find a file that was inventoried at the beginning of the backup
event.  The client starts the Incremental backup by checking to see what
new or changed objects exist. It makes a list and then backs them up.
If the file is deleted or moved between the creation of the list and the
backup of the object, (as with the .tmp files above), you get a message,
but not a failed backup.
A file in use error (ANS4987E) is regarded as a minor issue by
TSM as well. TSM feels it should tell you about it, but since it is not
in a state where a good backup can be taken, it is not a fatal event.
Your TSM Server CopyGroup serialization settings determine if
TSM will try to back it up again.
The CHAngingretries option for the Client in the dsm.sys or
dsm.opt file determines how many times a client should retry the file.
You may see Retry messages such as these for objects in that
situation:
08/30/2011 01:27:43 Retry # 1  Normal File--> 2,992,622
\\CIFS_Filer_name\Long\long\path\to\file_Report.pdf [Sent]

* Actual FAILure of the scheduled backup event is often from an
inability to access a path or (Client) domain, from inability to perform
a specific option in an options file (such as an include statement, or a
pre-scheduled command), or from permissions errors:
08/22/2011 15:34:30 ANS4013E Error processing '\\Path\to\some_file:
invalid file handle

08/22/2011 15:43:02 ANS1512E Scheduled event '6PM-DAILY-INCR' failed.
Return code = 12

08/30/2011 01:27:43 ANS4007E Error processing
'\\rrstore11a\assetmgmt\Users\ADoyle\IEfavs\Links\Customize Links.url':
access to the object is denied
These ANS4007E messages are a pain for me.  Often they indicate
that the Client is running from a profile with insufficient permissions
to access the file.  In my case these are files on a CIFS share.  The
filer, CIFS, VSCAN, and Virus software and not working together well.

On Windows clients if you are backing up SystemState and there are VSS
errors...welcome to the club.  They will fail your Scheduled backup
event.  Looking at one of mine that I see failed for VSS/SystemState
errors, there is no mention of the VSS error/failure in the TSM Server
Actlog.

* You can look for these message codes in the TSM Server ACTLOG to
determine Failed (and Missed) backups:
***MISSED/FAILED
FAILED: q ac begint=-24 msg=2579
MISSED: q ac begint=-24 msg=2578
You can also do them as selects.

Checking for this with a TSM Server "query actlog msg=4959" will NOT
tell you if the backup failed

ANS4007E Access Denied Errors for SOME files on Netapp CIFS Shares

[Huebschman, George J.]

TSM Server: Server Version 5, Release 5, Level 1.0

TSM Server OS: AIX 5.3.0.0

TSM Client : Client Version: Version 6, release 1, level 0.0

Client OS:

OS Win2K3 Standard Edition

Os Version 5.2.3790



NetApp Release 7.3.2P4



I am seeing problems similar to what is described in IC56269:

"The TSM Backup-Archive client reports the following error during

backup in some cases:

ANS1228E Sending of object 'filename' failed

ANS4007E Error processing 'filename': access to the object is

denied

In this case, the error happened on all objects when backing up

a EMC NAS share mounted in read-only mode through CIFS."





The differences are that

-  NOT all objects are being denied

-  It happens on both Read-Only mode and Read-Write CIFS share
objects.

-  We are past the Client fix levels of 5.4.3 and 5.5.2



I have been able to work around the issue by running manual backups from
the command line after setting "VSCAN OFF " on the filer.

I had opened a PMR with IBM where they suggested toggling VSCAN off and
testing a backup.  That is as far as a solution went.



Any ideas?

Re: TSM & client machine renames

[Huebschman, George J.]

Paul,
Regarding the characteristic where the TSM Scheduler remembers the nodename.

For Windows:

" The service seems to remember the node name in effect when the service was 
created, even in the absence of a 'nodename' option in dsm.opt. I don't know 
whether there is a way to change the node name the service uses; we advise 
client system administrators to remove the service and create a new one when a 
Windows system is renamed."

** Your way of fixing this is best; uninstalling then reinstalling the 
scheduler. **

There is a registry entry for the TSM Scheduler service that contains 
the node name.  I used to have a problem with some of the new Windows servers 
that came into TSM MISSing their backup for authentication reasons.  
A Windows admin eventually told me why and their way to fix it.  
In our case, the servers were all built from the same image.  They all 
had the same machine name.  When TSM was installed and the Scheduler set up and 
tested, it was under the standard "build" nodename.  Subsequently, before the 
machine went into production, it was renamed.  Sometimes the nodename in the 
dsm.opt file was changed, but authentication still failed.

The Windows folks used to edit the Registry entry for the TSM Scheduler 
service...but your method is much safer.

But during the restore about 4 hours into it, we got the prompt to

Now because this is a brand new server that never had any user data on

Before we started the restore, we did not choose any of the restore

didn't think this was necessary to do.

anyone know why this happened??

Re: restore string syntax question (solaris)

[Huebschman, George J.]

It depends on when the file was actually backed up, it could be on the
next day's backup.
You could eliminate the PIT parameter altogether.

Re: TSM and MS DFSR

[Huebschman, George J.]

Fran,
HSM is different than a backup, and serves a different purpose than 
convenience restores or Disaster Recovery.  As I understand it, its chief 
purpose is to economize on high cost data storage.

I had not heard of DFS before you asked about it.  It seems that it 
replicates filesystems on one server to other servers.  What I read implies 
that one use is for low bandwidth networks.

If that is the case, you should be able to use a standard BA Client.  
Particularly in 6.2 with compression at the client, you could even back up the 
distant Clients with little network impact if data change is not heavy.  But, 
do you really need to?  What benefit is there to backing up a distant clone of 
a local filesystem?
We backup DR servers at a remote location using TSM servers at that DR 
Data Center because it would not do much good to have the DR data backed up at 
the primary site.  In our case there is an entire data center to back up at the 
distant site, not one server.
But, if you have your local server backed up, you should be able to 
replicate using DFS if a distant server fails or a filesystem becomes corrupt.  
You are already paying for it.

Re: TSM client node type & prepare

[Huebschman, George J.]

You need to have servers defined for each of the opposite servers.
You may also have clients defined for each opposite server, but the
Client and Server definitions serve different purposes.
The Client backs up the server.
The Server deals with the TSM application.

Have a ServerA_Client and ServerB_Client to back up like any other
client.
But also have ServerA and ServerB (TSM) Servers defined.

We are running TSM server 5.4.5.2 on Win32 and would like to use the
PREPARE process to store the DR plan files offsite, this would also
enable me to take advantage of the version control as detailed in the
DRMSTAT configuration.

I have two servers which I will call server A and server B, each are in
different geographical locations and backup their system drive and state
to each other. This means that obviously server A has a node registered
for Server B of the type "client" and vice-versa.



When I try to run the prepare process using a device class of server  it
fails because the node on the remote server is of the type "client"
instead of "server".  I would like to be able to schedule both
processes, backups as well as DR plan offsiting.



Will the backups continue to run properly if I change the client type to
"server"?  I didn't want to try it without querying the list as the
client does have historical data stored for the clients.



If anyone else has ran up against this issue feedback is greatly
appreciated.

George,

If one of the servers you are backing up via TSM is a linux or unix
server you should be able to create a shell script on that server to run
that command.
The script will need to have a "do" loop into which you can get it to
read a list.

It would need to start like this:

#!/bin/ksh

#Standard TSM Admin command.
DSMADMC="/usr/bin/dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=XX -noconfirm "

And then have a line something like this

while read VOL
do
$DSMADMC " del volhist todate=today type=remote volume=$VOL
force=yes "
done < /tmp/nodelist

Please check the syntax above before running as this is only a quick
example...

Paul

Re: Client domain statement exclude not working as expected

[Huebschman, George J.]

Andy, Richard, and all others,
1. THANKS for the instruction and advice.
2. I don't want to abuse the list or its members.  I think the exclude
fix will work, even though it is not perfection (I know your admonition
about "good enough").  This is just an exercise to determine why the
correct method didn't work as expected.


You may note that a different Client version is in use now.  My
co-worker upgraded this to address problems with memory allocation
(ANS1030E).

1 & 2 follow below
3 - My coworker and I have restarted the service repeatedly
today...while that could have been the problem, this had been working a
week ago.  This drive HAD to be excluded, because when it was
"successfully" backing up data it was blowing up the recovery log and DB
by itself.  In some respects it is like an HP Polyserve PSFS filesystem.
So you may ask, what changed?  We are not sure.

I suggest using dsmcutil to check the scheduler services:

1. Run

   dsmcutil list

to query for a list of installed services. I expect you have only one
scheduler service, but in general good to make sure that is the case.

2. For scheduler service xxx in the output from (1) above, run

   dsmcutil query /name:""

to be *certain* it isn't using a different client options file.

3. Unless you are *certain* you stopped and restarted the scheduler
*after*
modifying the DOMAIN statement, stop and restart again and see if that
makes any difference.

If you are still coming up empty on this, then I suggest contacting IBM
technical support for further assistance.

The volumes on a manual dsmc i does NOT (or rather, did not) agree with

thorough.  Now it shows exclusion of the Y: drive:

When looking into exclusion problems, use 'dsmc q inclexcl'.
Don't rely upon visual inspection of files, as the information there is
often only part of the story.
Also check your backup log file to see what "volumes" it reports as
participating when it starts, and compare that against the query output
to correlate ingredients.  Outside the backup window, initiate a manual
'dsmc i' (which you can cancel) and see if its "volumes" list agrees
with what's in the scheduled backup.

 - There is only one *.opt file in the baclient folder.
 - I checked the schedule, there is nothing in the OBJECTS setting, it
is a pretty vanilla schedule.
 - Part of the reason we do not want it to back up is that it is a

Hello George,

In order to prevent Y: from being backed up as part of the regular
incremental backup process, it should be sufficient to simply specify
the
DOMAIN statement as you have done:

   DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -Y:

It should not be necessary to add EXCLUDE statements for this.

Possibilities that come to mind:

- The scheduler service is configured to use a different client options
files than the one you updated.

- The schedule definition on the TSM server has a non-blank OBJECTS
setting
that includes Y:, e.g.,:

   DEF SCH ... ACTION=INCREMENTAL OBJECTS="C: Y:"

In this case, the OBJECTS setting overrides the DOMAIN setting.

If you *were* to use EXCLUDE statements to prevent backup of files on Y:
then this would be better:

=
* Suppress backup of files in the root of Y:
EXCLUDE Y:\*

* Suppress traversal and backup of all directories on Y:
EXCLUDE.DIR Y:\*
=

But again, these should be entirely unnecessary.

Client domain statement exclude not working as expected

be) excluded from the Client Domain statement.

To check if it was actually picked up, I queried the client options.

I also stopped and started the TSM Scheduler.

I don't see anything in a Client Option Set with "Force" set to yes, but
this Client is not using an optionset in any case.



We think we have fixed it by using an "Exclude "Y:\" statement, but we
shouldn't have to, correct?

Re: Why won't objects show up as expected for Restore?

[Huebschman, George J.]

Charles,
"... or a user with admin auth on the TSM server," That is the case.  We
have an account for TSM to run backups.  The TSM Admins have the same
admin authority as that account.

Richard, I had done a q fi with these results:
tsm> q fi
  # Last Incr Date  TypeFile Space Name
--- --  ---
  1   00/00/ 00:00:00   NTFS\\TargetClient\c$
  2   00/00/ 00:00:00   NTFS
\\TargetClient\c$\mountpoints\PolySrvFS01\sqldump

When I used FSID 1, I found all the objects.
When I used the full FSID 2, I found only the older objects.
When I used a partial FSID 2, up to just after the Polyserve filesystem
name, I found all the objects.
tsm> restore -pi -ina -su=y \\TargetClient\c$\MountPoints\PolySrvFS01\*

Also, I tried curly braces around the filesystem name.  I must have had
a syntax error though because I received, "ANS1081E Invalid search file
specification".  I didn't read before I tried it.  I got it to work
today.  But then again, it doesn't show yesterday morning's backups. (It
shows those done in December and then in the afternoon yesterday, Jan
4.)

These backups were done by different users; TSM, Admin B, and Admin A.
I think that even though they are all supposed to be identical in terms
of authority, it has something to do with that.

Why won't objects show up as expected for Restore?

[Huebschman, George J.]

TSM Server:

Server Type.: AIX-RS/6000;

oslevel - 5.3.0.0

Server Version..: Ver. 5, Rel. 5, Lev. 1.0



TSM Client:

  Platform: WinNT

   Client OS Level: 5.02  (Win2k3 R2 SP2)

Client Version: Version 5, release 5, level 1.0

We had a monthly back miss last night.  It runs from an external
scheduler (Autosys) due to the variability of the date on which it must
run every month.  Since the Client server where the data is does not
have the client for Autosys installed, we have to run the backup from a
second party Client.  An added wrinkle is that the data resides on HP
Polyserve filesystems.



To fix the missed backup, I manually ran the batch script that kicks off
the dsmc -I backups of the filesystems.

That part works.  It will back up data.



The problem is puzzling.  It looks like the data is not there when you
look by doing a Restore or "q backup".  It's there, and if I look enough
I can prove it, but today's backup can not be seen at all from the GUI,
and can only be seen from the command line if a very truncated path is
used.



If I do a "restore -pick -ina" or q backup (even with -su=yes) and
specify the full path to the directory where the files reside (first
example below), I get nothing from today's backup, though I do get files
from last month.

If I cut down the path to what is shown in the second example (or
shorter), I find all the files,



\\TargetClient\c$\MountPoints\PolySrvFS01\SQLDUMP\DB\DBNAME_One\FULL\




\\TargetClient\c$\MountPoints\PolySrvFS01\*




My coworker worked this out by mapping the filesystem on scheduler host
and using netuse to mount the filesystem before backup.



Why should that be necessary when the files were backing up (1.12 to
3.25 GB of data) without those extra steps?

Why could we seen them in the command line with extra effort, but not
the GUI at all?

Re: IBM3592-E06 resp. TS1130

[Huebschman, George J.]

There is no backward compatibility from E05 to E06?
If that is the case you might want to create a new library for the E06 media.  
You could also limit the tape volser ranges available to the new drives.

I'd expect that if a drive loaded a tape with an incompatible format, it would 
recognize that.  Is that not the case?

  Hello,

we replaced our IBM3592-E05 with new IBM3592-E06. On long media (JB)
they store 1 TB instead 700 GB which is almost 50 % more.

My question is
"How to distinguish E05 written media from E06 written ?"

First approach is to look when the first file was written. If it is
after our replacement of the drives, it has to be in E06 format.
TSM only provides me of the last written date, but if some files are
already written in E05 format I suspect that for the rest of the tape
the format will not be changed and written in E05-Format, too.

Is there some way to recognize if a given tape is written in E05 or E06
format ?

My second question relates to the first one.
My plan is to set E05 written tapes to READONLY and do a move data for
each volume in E05-format  to get all data newly written in E06 format.

Something more clever than that ?


Matthias

Re: TSM + VTL and physical tape library

[Huebschman, George J.]

I am not sure if you have 4 TSM Servers (instances) or 4 TSM
Clients/Nodes.

- A VTL will not reduce the size of a TSM Database.
- Yes, the TSM DB tracks the location of the data in all of the primary
and copy pools.  It has to in order to be able to use the data.
- Their disk pool is their first "Primary" pool.  It sounds like the VTL
is a migration destination as the next Primary pool in the hierarchy.
If the VTL is large enough to keep all of your active and inactive
versions of objects, you would not necessarily need a next step in the
Primary Pool hierarchy to tape.  But, since the user wants a tape "copy"
of the data, it is possible to migrate to a tape PRIMARY storage pool
and/or copy to a tape COPY storage pool.
TSM's INCREMENTAL backups backup objects, not the entire server
or desktop.  An incremental backup is an event, not an entire entity.
There is nothing unified to move, or copy to anywhere.
TSM does have a SELECTIVE backup option.  That behaves as a FULL
backup.  Making frequent Selective backups will make your database grow
a lot more than incremental backups will.

-   Our practice is to do incremental backups.  We write the data to
disk or VTL (it varies) then migrate to tape primary pools (for onsite
copies) and copy to tape copy pools (for offsite copies.)  We move the
most recent copy pool tapes offsite daily.  TSM takes care of expiring
the data on tapes according to the retention polices defined under the
Management Classes in the Copy Group definitions.
So we back up the data.  We have one copy, on disk for example.
COPY operations move (as much data as possible in the time
available) to a tape copy pool.  Some data now has two copies.
At a scheduled time, or when a threshold is met, data MIGRATES
to the next PRIMARY storage pool (VTL in this example), no new copy of
it is made, it just moves from one media pool to another.
Copy operations move more data from the VTL pool to the Tape
Copy Pool.  Now more data has a second copy.
Again, a Migration process moves data to the final Tape PRIMARY
Pool.  It is still just a move operation from lower capacity expensive
media to less expensive higher capacity media, no new copy is made.
Finally, any remaining Primary Pool data in the Tape PRIMARY
Pool that has not been copied to the Tape Copy Pool...is copied.  Now
there are two copies of all the data that was backed up at date
mm/dd/ hh:mm for a particular client node.

*** We do not use storage pools for Active data.  They might suit
your needs. They keep copies of objects that were current on the Clients
as of the last backup.

- If you want to do a Point-It-Time restore for a folder or entire
server you can do that, TSM knows where all the data resides.  It does
not care if it is all on one tape, or even in the same pool.
- What level of granularity - That is a wide question - you can manage
by file or folder; for example, you could keep all the data in one
folder for 5 days, and another folder for 15 days; or, retain files of
one type for 5 days and files of other types for 30 days.  I am not
aware of a way to keep particular types of data in a storage pool level
for any period of time other than adjusting migration policies.

- What is their reason for wanting fresh backups on VTL and older
backups on Tape, speed of restore from VTL, with tape for added
capacity?

- If your DB is growing too much, look at what you are backing up, and
how long you keep it; both the length of time, and number of versions.
Windows Systemstate backups involve a LOT of objects, each of them adds
space to the database.  (Note that the database grows by the number of
objects that it tracks, not the amount of data backed up.  Five thousand
1KB files take up more space in the DB than one 200 GB file.)

Hi all,
I'm involved in a TSM + VTL project but, unfortunately, I'm quite new in

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

My questions:

1. TSM catalog is growing too much. Would VTL help them to reduce its

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

Re: how to export ndmp backup to media?

[Huebschman, George J.]

This method does not give you an export tape, but it is a way to move
NDMP data to a new server.

Allen Rout had detailed a workaround in his Fifty Ways to Export
document, http://open-systems.ufl.edu/tsm/whitepapers/50ways.html

For Un-exportable/importable data he suggested a restore of the TSM DB
to another instance.
Delete everything that did not need to be exported.
That leaves you with the original server and all its data, and one
server with just the NDMP data.
Other data can be imported to this new server by media or network.

Re: NBU guy in TSM shop and I need help

[Huebschman, George J.]

You have three questions really.
You need numerous tapes for restore because backups write to tape every
day.  Not every file is on the same tape, unless you use collocation for
the storage pool.  (Then you need more tapes to backup!)  Not every file
is going to be deleted every day.  So a Point in Time restore, or a
restore of all active objects is going to have to access tapes that were
written over a span of time.

Also, reclamation of tapes impacts where data is kept.  As data ages and
expires and tapes/data are consolidated, the data moves onto new tapes.
TSM doesn't care (unless collocation is in use) what tape the data goes
onto.

You can accelerate restores by running them in pieces if they are large,
and running them from the command line.

Second question about retention.
Retention has nothing to do with how many tapes your data is on.  You
are either restoring Active versions, Inactive versions to a point in
time (which is going to be the same for all of the objects), or a
specific inactive file or files.  Except for the fact that the longer
the retention, the more tapes there are generally going to be in the
storage pool, retention doesn't affect where the specific objects are
stored.

Are you keeping data forever?
I am not sure.  Your translation is a little murky.  It would be plainer
if you used TSM's terms.
If Versions Data Deleted AND Retain Extra Versions really is No Limit,
then yes, you are keeping things forever.
We have some like that:
PolicyPolicyMgmt  Copy  Versions
Versions   Retain  Retain
DomainSet Name  Class Group Data
DataExtraOnly
NameName  NameExists
Deleted Versions Version
- - - - 
  ---
X-FILES   ACTIVEFOREVER   STANDARD  No Limit No
Limit No Limit No Limit

Does your CopyGroup look more like this example?

PolicyPolicyMgmt  Copy  Versions
Versions   Retain  Retain
DomainSet Name  Class Group Data
DataExtraOnly
NameName  NameExists
Deleted Versions Version
- - - - 
  ---
5_YEARACTIVE1825DAYS  STANDARD  No Limit No
Limit1,830   1,830

* Versions Data Exists is how many VERSIONS of objects that are Active
on the Client may be kept.
* Versions Data Deleted (or changed) is how many VERSIONS of objects
that are Inactive on the client may be kept.
* Retain Extra Versions (TSM never automatically deletes the Active
version)is how many DAYS to keep Inactive versions.
* Retain Only Version, is how many DAYS to keep the last Inactive
version.

If I ran backups three times a day, morning, noon, night, I could have
three copies of a file daily, if it was changed each time.  (For example
a very frequent SQL Dump with a timestamp name.)
In five years I would accumulate three times 1,830 VERSIONS, but each
version would only live 1,830 DAYS.

A reason it is good to have VDE and VDD set to No Limit is to avoid
busting an requirement to keep data for a specific length of time.

In the above example, if the government wanted me to keep data for 1,830
days, and I had my VERSIONS set to 1,830 days, I would be 1,220 days
SHORT, because the newest version would bump the oldest version
regardless of age.

If you are confused by copygroup terminology, you are in good company!

FW: [ADSM-L] Restore of encrypted files failing because entered key not recognized

[Huebschman, George J.]

 Regarding the "Trivial" encryption key.  That was a different problem
for us.  We had an issue with our EKM that led to tapes being encrypted
with a trivial key.  Older tapes were unreadable with the trivial key.
You would be seeing strange tape drive failures and lots of errors on
older files but not newer files that you were restoring...
I don't think a trivial key is your problem.
Sorry for the red herring.

"We are restoring files from our library, which were backed up using an
encryption key we've manually defined.  Most of the time, once I'm
prompted for the key, the restoration goes just dandy.
However, there are some files where the encryption key does not appear
to be accepted, no matter what we do.  We've only ever had this one key,
so we have no idea why TSM is barfing on this."

Re: How to find what management class is used per node

[Huebschman, George J.]

Avoid that if you can.
You probably can.  If you can not, someone else will be able to.

* Normally the node uses the default management class for the domain;
then any MC specified by INCLUDE statements.

* Log onto the client and run "q inclexcl".   The q inclexcl command
will show you all includes and excludes in the dsm.opt, inclexcl file,
or client option set.  Check the listing, looking for includes, then for
mgmt class names next to the includes.

* Also, directories will automatically use the management class with the
longest retention in the domain (unless the client is using a "dirmc"
option.)

You certainly can run a select against the largest of the tables, but it
should be done carefully.  Smart folks advise against it.  It is a very
intensive query.  If there are many objects for this client, try to
limit the query as much as possible by using index keys.  Try running
the select against one filespace at a time for example.  If you have
many filespaces and that seems to tedious, it is an indicator that you
need to do it!

I was just wondering if anyone knows a script that I can run to find out
what management class is utilized by node hmpg1018?  Would I need to
run: select * from backups where node_name='HMPG1018'?

Re: q co of a node?

[Huebschman, George J.]

Best to do that at the client.  Querying the TSM Server is possible, but
wise folks will warn you of the dangers of running selects against the
BACKUPS table.

Q inclexcl at the client to see if any includes specify non-default mgmt
class names.
At the server look up the default management class for that domain.
There you can also run "q co" to query the copy group details.

Re: Question on Expiration

[Huebschman, George J.]

 Eric,
I have a couple of options for you.  I am not sure of your
background, mine is non-technical, so if any of this sounds foolishly
obvious, I apologize.

First, TSM is not natively SQL.  The SQL tables that these
queries run on are created from the underlying B Tree db (pre 6.*).
Don't run heavy selects during busy periods, like during Expiration.  If
you don't have a comfortable buffer of recovery log and db space, be
very wary of the following message:
"ANR2963W This SQL query may produce a very large result table, or may
require a significant amount of time to
compute."
Sometimes it is something you reply to and forget, but it can be the
last thing you see on the TSM server before your phone rings

*
This one queries the actlog and runs slowly:
select nodename, substr (message, 1,9) as MESSAGE, cast(substr (message,
44,10)as varchar(20)) as ObjBacked from actlog where msgno=4954 and
date(date_time)>date(current_timestamp)-1 day
*


*This queries the summary table and runs much more quickly:
select cast(sum(cast(1.0* bytes/1048576 as decimal(13,2))) as char
(13))as MB, entity as "CLIENT",  activity, affected as OBJECTS from
summary where activity='BACKUP' and
date(end_time)>date(current_timestamp)-5 days group by entity, activity,
schedule_name, affected
*

"ENTITY" is the client node_name.  After the "where" You could add  "
and entity='YOUR_CLIENT_NAME' " if you want to look at just one client.

You can also pipe it out to a text or .cvs file and put it into a
spreadsheet application.


*
If anyone else cares to check, I was aiming at getting the clients to
roll into one line each, but I have gotten as far as I can with it.

I believe that Remco is correct.
The only way I see to do this is by doing a before/after query of
occupancy:

But as Remco says, what is the value of knowing the bytes?  They

Re: why would volumes be unavailble?

[Huebschman, George J.]

Unavailable tapes of any count would be distressing to me.  That is data
that can not be read.  If they are unavailble due to drives needing
cleaning, they are normally recoverable just by update vol access=reado
(or access=readw).  I used to have to do that...a lot.

If the tape drive can not read the internal label, read the data, or
write to the tape it can be marked unavailable.  That could be a drive
problem (dirty, broken, wearing out) or a media problem.  Check your
actlog for errors related to that tape, or other errors on the same
drive.

select cast(sta.server_name as char(10)) as TSM_SERVER,
date(act.date_time) AS DATE, TIME(ACT.DATE_TIME) AS TIME, message as
"MESSAGE  "
from actlog act, status sta where msgno in

If you have volumes that are marked UNAVAILABLE you might also want to
check for "Volumes Made Private" to prevent reuse.

Re: SQL Query find nodes associated with management class

[Huebschman, George J.]

That is true.   The dsmc q backup IS much more efficient.  Some server
admins don't have access to clients though.  In his case he wants to
look at all of his clients.  I don't know how many he has, but the time
to go into each could be considerable.  You mention a way of doing it
without log on to each client.  You got me there.

Richard's point is also very important.  The query should be limited to
certain objects or filespaces that you would expect to be using that MC,
or the opposite if you want to be sure that if you want to be sure that
the MC is not being used where it shouldn't.  For example, if you have
one long retention for ComplianceData and another for everything else,
you might care if system files are being bound to the Outrageos_Retn MC.

We deal with this problem by using the dsmc client, rather than the
dsmadmc client.
"dsmc query backup..."  seems to be more efficient that "dsmadmc select
...
from backups.."

Requires some clever setup, though, so you don't have to go log on to
the client itself to run dsmc.

Re: SQL Query find nodes associated with management class

[Huebschman, George J.]

The only way I know to get that directly is from the backups table.
Running a select against the backups table for all nodes on a server is
not a good thing...believe me (don't ask).

If you want to do it, make the select as precise as possible and run it
for one node at a time.

select distinct node_name, filespace_name, class_name from backups where
node_name='NODENAMEXYZ' and filespace_id=x (or
filespace_name='whateveryerlookinfer') and type='FILE' and
state='ACTIVE'

Wanda advised me to limit such queries with index key paramaters as much
as possible to keep the select processing as light as possible.

Also look at reclaim stg Copy_Pool th=50 OFFSITERECLAIMLimit=4 This will
reclaim 4 volumes and TSM seems to pick the four at or above the 50%
threshold. We have gotten behind a few times and we use this to speed
the reclaim process.  This also reduces the time TSM spends figuring out
what tapes are needed to do the reclaim.
Another option is to create a new copy pool and when the copy is
complete delete the old pool.

Hello everyone,

For several years I had not been able to run reclamation on one of my
tsm servers due to the lack of physical tape drives to accomplish the
task.  I am in the process of trying to get caught up, but it seems that
I just never do.  Most of my issue is with the copy storage pool volumes
which are very under-utilized.   It seems like reclamation, even if I
start multiple reclamation threads, is taking quite a long time.

Is there some other way for me to get the data onto new media without
doing reclamation?  Can I do a move data from 1 copy storage pool volume
to the another volume within the same copy storage pool?  I know that
this would mean bringing the tapes back from the vault, but it is just
not progressing as I would like with the reclamation processes.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I would like to get this back
under control.

Thank you in advance!

Re: Reclamation for offsite storage pools

[Huebschman, George J.]

This is not true,"Can I do a move data from 1 copy storage pool volume
to the another volume within the same copy storage pool?"
That is what reclamation does for you without you specifying individual
volumes.  You use a reclamation threshold in a command or a storage pool
threshold and TSM picks the volumes.  With a MOVE DATA on a copy pool
volume, TSM just grabs the data from the primary pool.

You can let reclamations/move data/move nodedata run through
housekeeping if needed.  Ordinarily it isn't the best thing to do, but
it shouldn't break anything.

TransErrno: Unexpected error from opendir, errno = 9

[Huebschman, George J.]

First, I apologize for the lengthy posting.
I have an AIX client that Failed its backup and I don't have a clear
idea why.

I found some old APARS related to TransErrno errors, but nothing that
seemed to fit.

Client AIX - oslevel 5.3.0.0
TSM Client V5 R4 L1.0

TSM Server  - oslevel 5.3.0.0
TSM Server V5 R5 L1.0

Checking the dsmerror and dsmsched I found the following just before the
backup ended:
dsmerror.log:
01/07/10   03:27:10 TransErrno: Unexpected error from opendir, errno = 9

Return code = 12.

"File not found" errors are nothing new - The file was there when the
backup began, then were gone by the time the client processed to that
point.  I don't expect them to fail a backup.  I am inclined to regard
them as coincidental but unrelated.

How do I get more information on the cause of this ANS1028S?

Greetings all,
Please hold your snorts of mirth until the end of my e-mail.
I am having a strange problem backing up a CIFS share (on an out of
support OS and an out of support client).

Client OS - Windows 2000 SP4
TSM Client - 5.1.5.0
TSM Sever OS AIX 5.3.0.0
TSM Server 5.5.1.0

Last Friday a client began failing its backup.  The only really
significant item in the dsmerror.log is this item referencing a CIFS
share:
12/23/2009 03:18:03 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\filer00\CIFSname'
failed
12/23/2009 03:18:03 ANS1063E Invalid path specification

It is configured the same way as other clients in our environment that
backkup CIFS are configured, the share is referenced as a domain entry
in the dsm.opt file:
DOMAIN \\filer00\CIFSname


I can map to that location from the client server.
I can map to that location from my workstation and other servers.
I can perform manual backups of that share from the client server.

I have stopped and restarted the TSM Scheduler Service (not using the
CAD).
We did an ipconfig /flushdns.

I could try upgrading the client, but we have a change freeze until
after the holidays.  I would prefer to figure out what is wrong.

Problems backing up CIFS

[Huebschman, George J.]

Greetings all,
Please hold your snorts of mirth until the end of my e-mail.
I am having a strange problem backing up a CIFS share (on an out of
support OS and an out of support client).

Client OS - Windows 2000 SP4
TSM Client - 5.1.5.0
TSM Sever OS AIX 5.3.0.0
TSM Server 5.5.1.0

Last Friday a client began failing its backup.  The only really
significant item in the dsmerror.log is this item referencing a CIFS
share:
12/23/2009 03:18:03 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\filer00\CIFSname'
failed
12/23/2009 03:18:03 ANS1063E Invalid path specification

It is configured the same way as other clients in our environment that
backkup CIFS are configured, the share is referenced as a domain entry
in the dsm.opt file:
DOMAIN \\filer00\CIFSname


I can map to that location from the client server.
I can map to that location from my workstation and other servers.
I can perform manual backups of that share from the client server.

I have stopped and restarted the TSM Scheduler Service (not using the
CAD).
We did an ipconfig /flushdns.

I could try upgrading the client, but we have a change freeze until
after the holidays.  I would prefer to figure out what is wrong.


Happy Holidays

Re: collocation increases tape mounts while backup

[Huebschman, George J.]

I understand how offsite pool reclamation works, but it is not going to
reclaim the entire storage pool unless you set your threshold shockingly
low.  Otherwise, it is only going to skim off the few highly reclaimable
tapes.  I have a lot of high quality tape drives, but not enough to
re-collocate an entire offsite storage pool on even a weekly basis.  Our
disaster recovery plan is...multilayered...like an onion...or an ogre.
TSM is a part of it, but not the first line of defense.
(If our policy was loose enough to allow us to wait until copy pool tape
were full to send them offsite, then it would make more sense, but our
average is about 40% utilized.  We are required to send off tapes every
workday.  Many tapes are so underutilized that they reclaim in a day or
two.)

Collocation does reduce tape contention between nodes and overall tape
mounts during a disaster.  If TSM is your only disaster recovery tool,
and your environment is small enough it is be a great idea, no argument.
But I just completed running Move NodeData on the primary pool of a
department that no longer actively backs up.  It took 2 months, running
two or three nodes at a time.

Collocating a copy pool is VERY beneficial, if you can afford it (and I
might argue, you can't afford not to).  You CAN reclaim a offsite copy
pool; TSM uses onsite primary pool tapes to recreate the copy pool tapes
that are being reclaimed.  Collocating a copy pool does mean more tapes,
more offsite tape movement, and more reclamation.  But if the purpose of
your copy pool is to allow you to continue business after a disaster,
then you most likely will be under pressure to restore as quckly as
possible and a collocated copy pool will certainly make those restores
run faster.

Re: collocation increases tape mounts while backup

[Huebschman, George J.]

Gardenia?
Collocation directs TSM to store the data for a particular group of
nodes, node, or filespace on as few volumes as possible.  As Medhi
Salehi noted, it keeps tape mounts to a minimum for restores, but it
opens many more tapes.

In primary pools if you collocate by Node, each Client will open a tape
and write to that tape until it is full.  As long as MaxScratch has
sufficient volumes, no other Client will use that tape.  If you have 300
clients using that pool, you will have 300 filling tapes.

Collocated storage pools will use more tapes and more tape mounts for
processes that write to tape, whether that is backup-direct-to-tape or
migrations from disk to tape.  (Reclamation also honors collocation.) I
am not sure if collocating a copy pool is beneficial.  It seems like the
copy pool as a disaster recovery pool would be ideal to collocate, but
if you send off tapes every day you end up with a fragmented set of
tapes for each collocation unit anyway.  To clean that up would require
bringing offsite tapes back onsite, exposing you to risk.  It is
possible to do a Move Nodedata in a copy pool, but the tapes have to be
onsite.  Perhaps there are better ways.

Search this mailing list.  There has been a lot of discussion about
collocation's benefits and costs in the past.

Re: Log pinned

[Huebschman, George J.]

All of the PROCESSes listed write information to the log.  Expiration is
the most DB intensive certainly.
What kind of log are you using, "Normal" or "Roll Forward"?

The SERVERGRAPH  session is just an information gathering session, like
any user logged on.   The TSM server only received 150 bytes from it.
It is not a client backing up data, it is an admin (Sess Type Admin).  I
do not think that is related to your log growth in any significant way.

I cancelled the expiration and the runaway log stopped running.

My thinking is that the expiration is feverishly writing its transaction
to the log.  Since there are no other sessions accessing the log, there
are no interrupts to trigger a commit.  So the log keeps filling,
triggering and retriggering DB backups.  If my thinking is correct, this
is a design feature in the pre-DB2 b-tree DB, not easily remedied.  Just
something to constantly monitor.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Re: Client backup activity

[Huebschman, George J.]

What do you mean by the backup window?
The window for the schedule is just the window to start the backup.
If you have an expectation of completing a given client's backup, or all
client backups by a certain time, that is more relevant.  Our backup
standard is one a day for most clients, one a week for others, and one a
month for one.
Management once casually asked what TSM backups run into the work day.
It was not nearly as easy as I thought.  Like you, we have numerous TSM
servers.

>From a comma delimited command line, I used a SQL select to pull
information from the summary table:

select entity as "Client Node  ", end_time-start_time,
date(start_time)as "StartDate", time(start_time) as "StartTime",
date(end_time) as "EndDate", time(end_time)as "EndTime", schedule_name
as "Schedule Name" from summary -
where-
(activity='BACKUP' and date(start_time)=date(end_time) and
time(start_time)<'08:00' and time(end_time)>'08:00')-
 or (activity='BACKUP' and date(start_time)=date(end_time) and
time(start_time) between '08:00' and '17:01')-
 or (activity='BACKUP' and date(start_time)'08:00') -
 or (activity='BACKUP' and date(start_time)1 DAY )-
and date(start_time)>date(current_timestamp)-20 days order by 1,2  >>
"Y:\tsm\YourDir\Bus_Hours_Backps_1A.csv"

I did it once and have not used it in over a year.

Things like ServerGraph, TSM Manager, and TSM Works are very good at
producing reports for management.

Re: Restoring dedupped-backup from VTL

[Huebschman, George J.]

Yes, your offsite physical tapes will not be de-duplicated.  They will
be native size (or compressed if you use drive compression.)
We migrate to physical tape as part of daily housekeeping, we do not try
to keep all of our data on VTL, primary or copy pool.

So, what is the best practice to use VTL+TSM? Suppose I dedicate all TSM
disk capacity available to TS7650 (so there is just one kind of storage
pool in TSM: virtual tapes!) and If there is not proper link to D/R site
for VTL-to-VTL copy, there remains only one way to transfer backups
off-site:
using conventional tapes
If what I mentioned above is correct, to build off-site tapes
de-duplication should be rolled-back when data is copied from VTL to
tapes :(

Yes, but you will lose the de-dupe.
So, no the TSM DB keeps track of all the expanded data just as always.

Hi,
If a TSM server is configured to use a TS7650 as lan-free storage pool,
can I migrate these de-duped virtual tapes to a traditional tape library
to save VTL disk space? If yes, what happens if I need to restore them
later? I mean, do I need TS7650 to re-generate original data from
de-duped version when restore is required in TSM?

Thanks

Re: Querying status of a finished process

[Huebschman, George J.]

Be aware that both the summary table and Event log can show false
success for scheduled backups.
I have had experience with the summary table showing success for backups
where the actlog shows failure.  IBM tells me that it is working as
designed.
I have not had experience with false success in the Event log, but Wanda
tells me that it is so and I believe her.

Richard Sims is correct, though.  The things you find in the server tell
you about definite problems.  Much of what the server knows about client
activity is based on what the Client reports back.  The Client does not
fail backups just because files fail.  Where I am going with this is,
that if you want to look at a report on the server of Missed/Failed,
look deeper.  If something Misses or Fails, you know you have a problem.
But, just because you have successful backups, does not me there is no
problem.
You can query the actlog as follows and get information like this, which
comes from the Client.  Even that will not identify many of the things
Richard mentioned.  If you have excluded a directory or domain, the
Client will smilingly report success.

I encountered the same problem a while ago. Searching for "security.config.cch

I suspect that these files are locked or have even been deleted while locked/in

As per Microsoft Knowledge Base,

"The files that have the extension .cch are dynamically generated and do not 
have to be backed up or restored."

BA Client error - CreateFile() returned '5'

[Huebschman, George J.]

Hello everyone, I am trying to track down a client backup error.

TSM Server 5.5.1, AIX 5.3.0.0
TSM ba Client 5.5.1.0, Win2K3 R2 SP2 - The server is part of an HP
Polyserver cluster.  We have excluded the Polyserve related mountpoints.
We have not edited the registry.

I am trying to figure out if the error I see is caused by the
same root problem as mentioned in IC 56269.
My error:
10/12/2009 00:12:04 ANS5250E An unexpected error was
encountered.
  TSM function name : NTSecurityReadV2
  TSM function  : CreateFile() returned '5' for file
'C:\WINDOWS\microsoft.net\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\security.config.
cch.6528.2904562'

--

- IC 56269 describes this error -
"The TSM Backup-Archive client reports the following error during
backup in some cases:
ANS1228E Sending of object 'filename' failed
ANS4007E Error processing 'filename': access to the object is
denied
In this case, the error happened on all objects when backing up
a EMC NAS share mounted in read-only mode through CIFS."

--

This error message is different.
The file is not a CIFS share, but in on the C: drive.

However, the details of IC56269 describe a problem with the value for
dwDesiredAccess that is passed to the MS API function "CreateFile()".
The value TSM uses is for a Read/Write operation, could result in
CreateFile() returning an
access denied error incorrectly.  MS recommends a different value that
only request Read access.

Re: emptying disk pool

[Huebschman, George J.]

- Why are you worried about emptying data from a nearly empty disk pool?
 - Very often disk pools do not empty completely every day.  That is not 
necessarily a bad thing.
- What are your capactiy problems?
 - Is the disk filling faster than it can be migrated every day?  Be sure 
your backups are efficient, no clients with negative compression of data (where 
data that is already compressed is "compressed" again, wasting space.)
 * Try this query:  q ac begind=-1 msgno=4968 search="objects 
compressed by* -"
  and look for results like this:
ANE4968I (Session: 2302261, Node: AIXxyz123)  Objects
 compressed by:  -35% (SESSION: 2302261)
Turn compression OFF for clients like these  (Hmm...I got way too many hits for 
that.)
 - Is there not enough tape media?  Be sure you are reclaiming tapes 
effectively, both on and offsite.
  - Check to see what users are backing up.  Try to get users to 
exclude unneeded data.  Argue strongly against things like .pst files.  They 
are huge and, e-mail should be getting backed up as messages through some means 
anyway.
  - Examine your retention policies, how long are you keeping data?  We 
keep some data for (expletive deleted) years,  other data for days.  Even on 
one client, some data may have different retention requirements than other 
data.  Don't use one policy for all unless policy dictates it.  The classic 
management answer to what do we keep and for how long is, "Keep everything, 
forever," but that is unsupportable.
 - Or, not enough library space?  Document, remove, and safely store media 
locally if you can't get an expansion or a new library.
 - Not enough drive resources?  Consider upgraded tape drives and/or higher 
capactiy media.

* Reclamation can be run a couple of ways.  There is a reclamation command 
(RECLAIM STGPOOL), or by using a script to UPDATE  the storage pool changing 
the reclamation threshold for the stgpool from 100% down to a lower threshold.  
You can also use Move Data operations to get data off of specific thinly 
utilized tapes

Subject: [ADSM-L] emptying disk pool

Hi gurus,

I have a disk pool migrated once a day to a tape pool, but some data stays 
(capacity problems). Until I have solved that, every day I have to empty the 
disk pool deleting the data. Here are the questions:


 1.  Is there any way to empty the disk pool without deleting the volumes ? The 
only way I have found is to delete the volumes disgarding the data (after that 
re-creating them).
 2.  My TSM server is Windows 2003 based (TSM 5.5.3.0). When I delete a disk 
volume, the file in Windows stays there, I cannot create it again after that, 
so I have to manually delete the files from Windows and that create the volumes 
again. Is this the way it should be ? That prevents me from automating the 
operation with a script.

Best Regards,

Tuncel Mutlu

Hi George!
I do not want to treat one client different that the other one. Years of
experience with TSM taught me one thing: if you want to run a TSM
environment with a minimum amount of people and attention, you should
create an environment with as little management classes, policies an
deviceclasses as possible!
I have to mention that this TSM environment has been running fine for
about two years now and nothing has changed. The strange migration
behavior is something that started about a few days ago.
I scheduled a stop/start of this server, so let's see what that brings.

It sounds a lot like TSM is allocating space in your disk pool for a lot
of data from many clients and finding itself maxed out.  It is not
always how much data is actually on the media, but how much space TSM
has allocated per client.

- Have you considered setting up larger clients to go directly to
Virtual Tape?  If you want data to go to VTL right away, send it there.
If you have 30 VTL drives, find the 10 or 15 clients with the biggest
sized files put them in a domain with a default management class that
points directly to VTL...or edit the include statements of the clients
(any client)to point the biggest files to a Virtual Tape management
class.  The second way does not require a new domain, but it requires
more work with clients.)
- I would also raise your threshold a bit so that you are not
continually in migration.

Hi Remco!
The high treshold is set to 5 because we want the data to go to virtual
tape a.s.a.p. This weekend the diskpool went to 100% again because of
the strange migration behavoir. The pool contained data from 100+
clients, but still no more than 2 migrations were running
The tape deviceclass has mountlimit=drives which is 30 drives.

Have you ever considered increasing the high threshold? IIRC TSM won't
start new automig processes when migration is already running, and will
only start as many processes as there are different clients having data
in your pool. Also, check out your mountlimit on the tape devclass.

Furthermore, your disk pool might not be fast enough to keep your drives
streaming.

Re: Migration problem

[Huebschman, George J.]

The diskpool was full, but high migration is 5%.
A low highmig threshold could easily start off migrations that run just
one file then quit, especially if there are large files...but how did
you fill the disk pool with such a  low percentage for the high mig
threshold?

Hi TSM-ers!
Today I came in the office and customers complained about failing
backups. I checked the TSM server and noticed that the diskpool was
full. Migration was running, but only two processes at the same time. A
migration starts, migrates a file an then completes successfully,
another one starts, migrates one file and finishes again and so on.
The storagepool has migproc=10 and the nextpool is not collocated, but
only two are running and they keep on finishing after just migrating one
file!
I was able to lower the storagepool usage manually by issuing move data
commands against the physical diskpool volumes. This way I was able to
move all the data from them manually, but I don't understand why
migration is behaving like this.
Has anybody seen this before?
Thank you very much for your reply in advance!
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon

Hi,

Is there a way or command I can see all the backup versions?

Re: LTO-2 capacity problem

[Huebschman, George J.]

Does it happen every time?
What is the size range of the files going to the tape?
Is it possible that already compressed files are expanding during an effort to 
compress them again?

If TSM is trying to write a file or aggregate larger than the remaining space 
on the media, it won't use the remaining space.

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I have a Windows TSM server on a remote site with 
stand-alone LTO-2 drive (Dell sold Tanberg TS400). I take backups to the disk 
and than migrate the pool to the drive (the is an empty one witing every time). 
After writing between 127-130 GB, the tape dismounts and asks for a new one 
(scratch), as it is full, but it is not (nominal capacity is 200 GB, compressed 
400 GB). I looked at the device class and other things but could find a 
problem. Checked with remote site to be sure if this is LTO-2, and yes, it is. 
Even tried to manually set the max capacity, but still doesnt work. Have this 
occured to you ?

Hello, I have been trying to backup a directory using a specific

works fine too! Here is the dsm.opt:

Hi George

I have a copy of the interesting bits of a TSM database in sqlite3 for a
side project I'm doing while "resting".  On that database I can use

select count(*), cast(abs(pct_utilized-.01)/10 as integer) as decile,
stgpool_name from volumes where devclass_name != 'DISK'
group by stgpool_name, cast(abs(pct_utilized-.01)/10 as integer)

to give something like what you are looking for.  The main issue is that
deciles with no members are not listed.  You may need to adjust the SQL
for the TSM database engine, but I can't see anything that I know isn't
valid TSM sql.

Regards

Steve

Summarizing Tape Utilization

[Huebschman, George J.]

Greetings everyone,
I have a/an SQL Select question.

Most of my TSM Servers are at 5.5.1.0, one is at 5.5.2.0

I am trying to count the number of tapes with a percentage utilization
in brackets of 10 percent.  In other words, how many tapes with
utilization between 100 and 90, 90 and 80, and so forth.

I first tried:
select count(volume_name), pct_utilized, stgpool_name from volumes -
where (pct_utilized between 100 and 90) or (pct_utilized between 90 and
80) or (pct_utilized between 70 and 60) or (pct_utilized between 60 and
50) or (pct_utilized>50)-
group by stgpool_name, pct_utilized

Although the statement functions and returns valid data,  it is not what
I expected.  I mistakenly expected it to count all the tapes within each
given range.  What it really does is count tapes with distinct pct_util.
I might as well not have specified the ranges.  The only tapes it
counted cumulatively were of the exact same pct_util.

 Unnamed[1] PCT_UTILIZED STGPOOL_NAME
---  --
  1 59.4 C_TSMSERVER_TAPE
  1 68.7 C_TSMSERVER_TAPE
  1 78.2 C_TSMSERVER_TAPE
  1 79.5 C_TSMSERVER_TAPE
  1 99.9 C_TSMSERVER_TAPE
  1100.0 C_TSMSERVER_TAPE
  1 66.0 NASPOOL

If I select for a count for greater than or less than a particular
value, I get the kind of count I expect.  I had expected "between" to do
similar work but be less klunky.

select count(volume_name) from volumes where pct_utilized<100 and
pct_utilized>89


The other option I tried was CASE, WHEN, THEN:

select count(case when pct_utilized between 100 and 91 then 1 else 0)
from volumes
and,
select count(case when (pct_utilized between 100 and 91) then 1 else 0)
from volumes

Those failed for syntax errors.

Is there a clean way to do this?

Re: [ADSM-L] Full tapes with low percent utilization






I am not sure that is quite right.
When a newer version of an object is backed up, the Client does "EXPIRE"
the object, but the object only "EXPIRES" from the TSM SERVER db
according to the retention policy (copy_group) bound to that object.
The data does not expire from the tape until it expires from the DB.

Or am I lost.

This will reclaim all tapes that have 60% or more reclaimable space.
Reclaimable space occurs when you existing objects that were backed up

Re: Full tapes with low percent utilization

[Huebschman, George J.]

We agree,
I was just trying to make a distinction between TSM's two usages for the
term "expire".
First when objects become inactive, which the client refers to as
expiring:
07/13/2009 22:16:38 Expiring-->  310
\\rrmamprobe1\d$\Mercury\MAM-V6.6\MAMDiscoveryProbe\root\lib\longpathnam
ehere\1.state [Sent]

and second when they actually expire from the TSM DB...which allows
space to be freed on tape or disk or Virtual Tape, or optical media.

It would be less confusing if the Client use the term "Inactivating"
instead of expiring, but I am sure there is a perfectly logical reason
why not.

Re: Full tapes with low percent utilization

[Huebschman, George J.]

Tapes are sequential media.
When they reach the end, they are defined as "Full".
As data expires, their percent utilization changes, but they stay
defined as Full, because no data is going to be written to the spaces
occupied by the logically expired data:

Re: Schedule jump

Is it possible that a manual backup was run before the scheduled backup?
Manual backups do not normally update to the dsmsched.log, but they do
count against the daily record of backup events.

What is in your summary table?

Matthew,

When you restart the TSM Central Scheduler for the TDP client, do you
still have the same issue? It is possible that the TUES_INCR schedule
was disassociated from the QBCWSWIEPOO1-EXC client; it is possible that
the schedule was renamed, check the schedule associations for the
specific client. If non conclusive, was the time changed on the client?
Check the event log for any clue.

Good luck.

this is a strange one - see the dsmsched.log extract below - at 15:28
the 'next schedule' was queued up for 20:00 last night (TUE_INCR), but
by 16:28 it had decided that it was instead going to run the WED_INCR
tomorrow instead, thereby ignoring last night's schedule.

I've not seen this behaviour before - is there a reason for it? I
guarantee nothing was changed on the server.

Thanks Christian, and everyone, for the suggestions.

Even if I can convince TSM to work with the tapes spread across the 4 
libraries, I think I still lose too much throughput.

If I want to restore multiple clients/filespaces in parallel, I think we could 
easily get into the situation that client 1 is using the drive in library 1, 
and the restore for client 2 needs a tape that is also in library 1.  The only 
way  I can see to keep all 4 drives busy is to use them in manual mode.  (Short 
of doing MOVE NODEDATA to guarantee that every client is on its own tape, which 
is highly unrealistic for a copy pool.  Not that this scenario is realistic to 
begin with!)

Thanks everyone!
Wanda   (maybe another margarita will bring more enlightenment..)

Matching Node_name to Class_name

[Huebschman, George J.]

I think the answer to this question is, "No" , but I am going to ask
anyway.

I want to make a listing of the management classes used by each client.

I have been asked to provide a list of applications that use longer than
our standard retention policy. TSM will not identify applications for
me, but I can look up Client/server names.

I know how to write an sql query against the backups table.  I have
queried particular node_names to see what management classes they use.
Thanks to instruction from W, I realize that the backups table is huge.
I tried to make a more efficient query by restricting the query to
Active objects of type File and running it on the TSM server with the
smallest DB, but it was still running when I came back from lunch.
select distinct node_name, class_name from backups where
type='FILE' AND STATE='ACTIVE_VERSION'

Is there a smarter way to find this information out?  The owners of
these clients for the most part would have no idea and would be no help.

Thanks,
George Huebschman

Re: LTO for long term archiving

Subject: [ADSM-L] LTO for long term archiving

I work for a large hospital. I have been asked to investigate possible
configurations for archiving something between a few hundred terabytes
and a petabyte of data for 25 years. This would be clinical records that
we need to keep in case of a malpractice suit. The retention period is
25 years because there are two ways we can get sued for alleged
malpractice involving a pediatric patient. The parents or guardians have
a seven year window of opportunity to file suit, starting at the time of
the alleged malpractice. The patient has a seven year window of
opportunity, starting at his or her 18th birthday. In principle, the
retention period should vary depending on patient age, but nobody I have
talked to so far thinks it is practical to sort records in this way;
they want a uniform retention period that covers the worst case scenario
(a patient allegedly harmed as a newborn suing just before the end of
his or her seven year window).

As far as I can tell, the most expensive part of such a configuration is
the media, and LTO media will cost about a third as much as the most
economical MagStar media (extended length 3592 volumes read and written
with TS1130 drives). With the sort of workload described above I don't
expect any difficulty staying within the recommended limit on the number
of times an LTO volume passes over the tape heads. Are there any other
reasons to be nervous about using LTO for long term archives?

Re: Cloned Win servers and multiple backups

[Huebschman, George J.]

I had a problem like this where the builders were using a common image
template to build windows servers.  I had the good luck of them using an
obsolete client name.  I kept seeing this unregistered name pop up when
I queried for unregistered nodes.

I solved it by registering the node and locking it.
I accidentally noticed that the IP address of the node changed from time
to time.
You could try running an SQL query comparing the IP Address of the node
matches the ip address of the client server.

I don't want to re-rehash things on here unnecessarily.
I queried listserve but was daunted by the number of messages related to
"Export".
I hope this fires of a synapse for someone, perhaps the author.
Thanks to all.

Re: Copypool using more tapes then primary tapepool

[Huebschman, George J.]

Are all the tapes in the copy pool library as full as in the primary
pool?  The tapes may not completely fill before the backup copy pool
operation completes.  Running more than one process, each process is
going to open a tape.  Those tapes may not fill completely.

We send tapes physically offsite daily and that is an issue for us. We
have a hard time threshold where tapes are ejected each day.  Some tapes
leave with very low utilization and are quickly reclaimed.

Why are we using more tapes in the copypool library vs the primary tape
library?

There is a 6 - 9 tape difference between the copypool and the primary
tape pool.  We average ~500 GB per tape so that's 1.5 - 4.5 TB of data.
It doesn't seem like there should be that much of a discrepancy.  There
is both backup data and archive data mixed on the tapes and the
DbBackups are taken into account.

We have 2 identically configured IBM 3584 tape libraries.

On a daily basis our disk pools are migrated (migrate stgpool diskpool
lo=0) to the primary tape pool.

Then a daily schedule (backup stgpool tapepool6 tapepool7 maxprocess=4)
is run to keep everything equal between the 2 tape libraries.

Daily expiration and reclamation processes finish fine.

Schedules report successful completion daily.

Re: Copypool using more tapes then primary tapepool

Subject: [ADSM-L] Copypool using more tapes then primary tapepool

Why are we using more tapes in the copypool library vs the primary tape
library?

There is a 6 - 9 tape difference between the copypool and the primary
tape pool.  We average ~500 GB per tape so that's 1.5 - 4.5 TB of data.
It doesn't seem like there should be that much of a discrepancy.  There
is both backup data and archive data mixed on the tapes and the
DbBackups are taken into account.

We have 2 identically configured IBM 3584 tape libraries.

On a daily basis our disk pools are migrated (migrate stgpool diskpool
lo=0) to the primary tape pool.

Then a daily schedule (backup stgpool tapepool6 tapepool7 maxprocess=4)
is run to keep everything equal between the 2 tape libraries.

Daily expiration and reclamation processes finish fine.

Schedules report successful completion daily.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Storagepoool utilization 0.0%

Hi *SM-ers!
I'm trying to empty a primary storagepool to a new one by using
migration.
The problem is that migration isn't kicking in. This is probably caused
by the percentage utilized value for this storagepool. A Q STGPOOL shows
a Pct. Util  0.0, so TSM thinks there is nothing to migrate.
This storagepool is using a vritual tape library, so I already tried
updating the deviceclass and entering some value in the Est. Capacity
field, but that doesn't help either.
What am I missing here?
Thank you VERY much for your help in advance!!!
Kindest regards,

Funny, but I was researching the TS7650 yesterday and found this article
on the IBM website.  Pretty good detail about the product in a non-TSM
environment.

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tape/ts7650g_esg_validation.pdf

And then this on in the TSM environment. I think this one might have
been written by somebody somewhat less familiar with TSM than we would
be.
Seemed a little heavy handed about TSM.

My overall impression, and I hate all things de-dup, was this is a
pretty good product offering.  I'm sure it's way expensive but
understand there are some follow on products coming that will address
the lower end of this market.

Hi, Sabar.

I couldn't find a TS7569G via Google, but on the TS7650G, also a
deduping VTL, after data goes through the factoring (dedup) algorithm it
is run through a compression algorithm.  You probably won't see much
deduplication, but on the first backup you should see a decrease in size
similar to the decrease you would see from the compression on a tape
drive.

Alex
