Re: disabe/enable a sched via command line
In TSM you define a schedule and then "associate" the nodes to 1 or more schedules using the "define assoc" command. To stop a backup for a node, look at the "delete assoc" command and then later you can restart it using "define assoc".

Re: Our TSM system is a mess. Suggestions? Ideas?
Look at that Clarion system. While you may have multiple links to the SAN the Clarion might not.

To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Sun, February 14, 2010 7:12:16 AM Subject: [ADSM-L] Our TSM system is a mess. Suggestions? Ideas? We have about 500 nodes and have a backup windows from 5pm until 7am. I have our backup schedule setup so that about 30 nodes do incremental per hour with a few exceptions. We have a 3T disk storage pool and 4 LTO4 drives in our tape library. Our dbbackuptrigger is set at logfull 30% and numincrmeentals of 4. Our recovery log is filling up almost once per hour while backups are running and not emptying fast enough before it hits 80% when all backups come to a crawl until it is emptied below 80%. Sometimes the recovery log is pinned at 70% or so and another backup kicks off immediately which again does not empty fast enough and the whole system goes into slowdown after the recovery log is past 80%. Expiration, which used to run in a matter of about 6 hours, is not completing even after running for 24 hours. Our DB is about 97gig and about 74% full. The recovery log is maxed at 13gig. I don't see anything in the activity log out of the ordinary. The TSM server is AIX 5.3.10.1 TL10 running on an IBM 9131-52A in a logical partition with 20 CPus configured and about 32G of RAM. The TSM DB and disk storage pools are attached to a Clariion CX3-80 via 4G Hbas. I have the recovery log and TSM DB set to use different HBAs then the disk or tape storage pools so the HBAs aren't fighting each other. I've read the tuning and performance manual and matched our settings to match it's suggestions with some small exceptions. We have purchased new hardware to move the whole system to Linux and a monster of a box since we want to get to TSM v6.x eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later. AIX hardware and support is tremendously expensive when compared to an intel based box and like a lot of people, we have a very small budget for anything IT related. . One of the biggest problems we are having is the recovery log filling up too quickly and not emptying fast enough. Even with a log full trigger of 30%, the incremental backup won't finish before the recovery log hits 80% and with the log full setting so low, we are doing TSM DB backups almost every hour while clients are backing up. This really seems excessive to me. Why would an incremental backup of the TSM DB take an hour or so to run and is it normal for the recovery log to fill up so fast while backups are running? We even attempted to do a reorg of the TSM DB but unfortunately it was going to run for much longer than our window allowed so it had to be cancelled. I'm going to try again for next weekend and hopefully talk the powers that be, into a 24 hour window for the reorg. We did do a reorg years ago and the performance improvements were amazing, ie expiration ran in less than an hour. I know that is a bandaid but I have to do something until I can get to version 6 when I can have a bigger recovery log and a new, more powerful server in place. I guess I'm just not sure what to look at at this point and frankly I'm exhausted. Our help desk is calling me daily, every day, at 6am or earlier, as "TSM is running slow again". Any suggestions on what else to look at? (Sorry for such a fragmented email. I've had about 3 hours sleep at this point)
Re: unexpected result from audit library
You will have to follow the procedure to process a upgrade to the library. Search the TSM support page. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&q1=upgrade+library&uid=swg21203271&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en Resolving the problem When a library is physically upgraded, for example, when drives, cells or columns are added to a physical library to expand it, the Tivoli Storage Manager server needs to be notified of these changes.What needs to be done on the Tivoli Storage Manager will depend on the server level. With SAN Device Mapping implemented (since TSM520 for Windows and TSM530 for most other platforms), when hardware changes are done to the library, the Tivoli Storage Manager server needs to be restarted. During server initialization, Tivoli Storage Manager server will access the library. If the library inventory has changed, it will be refreshed at that time. If drives are added or deleted from the library or drive element addresses are changed, this information will be refreshed at server initialization also. If the library path has changed, then the path needs to be updated with the new device name for the new library path.

I have two 3584 libraries and they are accessed by going to: http://libip I'm assuming your library has a web interface if it's an IBM Library. Oh, you can also check in all the "unavailable" tapes by setting the search=yes and status=private, then you should be able to mark them readwrite again. If you're library sees them, you should be able to see them via TSM. That just made me think. When they added the licenses there's a possiblity your slot numbers changed (especially if you added slots slot 057 is now 1057, etc.) so that the volumes are visible, they're just not where they're supposed to be. Try the Checkin (do on one or two volumes to test), and if that doesn't work, physically move them out of the Library, and then check them in via the IO slots.

Re: Performance and migration: AIX vs Linux
I had a similar setup about 2 years ago and ran into some throughput problems also. First, you need to measure the speed of tape output when doing migrations, disk-to-tape, and some sort of tape-to-tape processes. I found with my setup that I was getting faster transfer speed when doing tape-to-tape !!! Further investigation pointed to the Clarion device. We where sharing it with other applications and found that even though we had many spindles for TSM use that we were restricted by the fact that the Clarion system only had 2 I/O ports to the SAN running in a failover mode. The EMC people were called and "we" were driving the 2 ports at over 80% each so if we ever had a failover we were going to be in big trouble. By over using the ports the software within the Clarion was slowing our disk I/O down to something slower than the tape drives !!! We went to local disks instead of SAN disks for all of the TSM servers after that. Jerry Michalak jerry_...@yahoo.com From: "Dury, John C." To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Thu, October 22, 2009 5:13:23 PM Subject: [ADSM-L] Performance and migration: AIX vs Linux We are currently running TSM server v5530 under AIX. The AIX server has a mixture of different speed (266mhz and 133mhz, both 64bit) PCI-X slots. With 4 4g HBAs. Our system is connected to a Clariion CX3-80 where the TSM DB and Recovery Log and Disk Storage pools live. The disk parts of TSM have 2 4G HBAs and powerpath installed and configured for load balancing across both. We have 2 STK SL500 libraries, both with 4 LTO4 drives. One is local and the other is connected via a 2 2G fiber paths to our remote site. The remote SL500 is defined as a copy storage pool. All of the local tape traffic is on one HBA and the remote is on another. Disk and tape do not have any traffic on the same HBAs ever. I used a script I found in past emails and the best performance we can get on the local SL500 is around 30MBs. The best performance we can get on the remote library is about 10MBs. We recently redid the AIX box and rezoned so the disks would be using the fastest PCI-X slots and the tape would be using the slower ones to try and improve disk performance. This did help some as expiration was running for about 8 hours and now it runs in about 4. Our TSM DB is 76800 MB and is 75% full right now. I've looked through the latest TSM performance and tuning manual and tweaked everything as per recommendations for our setup. We are considering migrating our AIX server to an Intel based Linux box that has a mixture of 8x and 4x PCI Express slots in hopes of maximizing performance on both disk and tape and also saving money as AIX boxes are considerably more expensive. So here are my questions: 1.How hard is it to move from an AIX TSM server box to a Linux TSM server? I'm hoping it's as easy as building the new box (tape drive,stg pool etc) and then restoring the DB and tweaking the new config. I know there is more to it than that but without researching it yet, that seems like a logical high level overview. 2.Will there be much of a performance difference between and AIX based TSM server and a Linux based TSM server? 3. Going from mixed speeds slots of PCi-X to PCI Express 8x and 4x slots should be a significant improvement correct? I know there are a lot of factors here but we are concerned we aren't getting the best performance for our existing hardware. 30MBs (not Mbps) for a LTO4 drives seems pretty slow and with 4 4x PCI-E and 4 8x PCI-E slots, I can balance out the I/O across cards and slots much better than I can now. Comments and criticisms? Linux vs AIX? Thanks for any insight!
