Re: Help me convincing IBM please!!!!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/07 4:57 AM Hi *SM-ers! Please help me with this and take the time to read this request We're having serious performance problems with our TSM database. Part of the discussion with IBM is how expiration should perform. A technical document on the TSM website stated that one should be able to expire 3.8 million objects per hour. As soon as I referred to this document (How to determine when disk tuning is needed) IBM removed it from their site Expiration runs at a speed of 140.000 objects per hour in my shop an I know for sure that some of you are running at 3.8 million or more and I like to prove this to IBM. I'm begging for your help with this. I would like to ask you to issue the following SQL statements on your TSM server(s) and send the output directly to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: select activity, cast ((end_time) as date) as Date ,(examined/cast((end_time-start_time) seconds as decimal(18,13)) *3600) Objects Examined Up/Hr from summary where activity='EXPIRATION' and days (end_time)-days(start_time)=0 select pct_utilized, avail_space_mb from db The first statement calculates your expiration performance (objects/hour) and the second one lists your database size and utilization. Thank you VERY much for sending me your statistics in advance, I REALLY appreciate it!!!

We would have 2 TSM servers (one being the library manager) with 2 directors, 8 lan-free clients and 24 tape drives, which we hope to share between the 2 TSM servers. We would like to have 2 fibre interfaces per drive in order to eliminate a single point of failure. My question is, how does TSM know which path it is using to the drive and how does it know that one of the paths to an individual drive is already in use? Is there software out there to manage this or is it done through the hardware configuration? If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it!

Re: Need advice on dealing with unreadable tape
You will have to specify which copypool to get the files from. restore v 000345 copy=name_of_copypool p=y Julian Armendariz System Analyst - UNIX H.B. Fuller (651) 236-4043 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/06/03 03:54PM I have some tapes that are getting read errors, and I'm trying to find a graceful way to get out of the mess. One example is a tape that has 2 files on it, according to Q CONTENT MOVE DATA for that tape fails, because it can't be read. We have (or think we have) offsite copies of our backup tapes. So I thought I might be able to recover the files from an offsite copy. To find which offsite tape(s) I would need, I tried restore v 000345 p=y I got messages ANR0984I Process 622 for RESTORE VOLUME (PREVIEW) started in the BACKGROUND at 09:28:00.

I assume that means the files didn't get copied to the backup pool before the tape got flaky. At this point, I guess I have to assume those backups are toast. If they are inactive versions, I can shrug and say I hope they never want to restore the old versions. But, as far as I can tell, there is no way to tell whether a backup on a specific tape is active or inactive. If that's true, I need to assume they might be active and get new backups of them. If I just delete the volume, with discarddata=yes, and the backups are active versions, will that force TSM to realize it no longer has an active backup of those files, and back them up again the next time the node is backed up? -- Matt Simpson -- OS/390 Support 219 McVey Hall -- (859) 257-2900 x300 University Of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mainframe -- An obsolete device still used by thousands of obsolete companies serving billions of obsolete customers and making huge obsolete profits for their obsolete shareholders.

Re: 3590 upgrade steps.
for each type of drives will allow the user to specify the format for the drive and insure that 3590/3590E volumes will not be mounted on 3590H drives and that 3590H volumes will not be mounted on 3590/3590E drives. Defining a logical library for each type of drives will allow to define two separate storage pools of scratch volumes. It is necessary to allow write the label for the volume in the appropriate format. Moving a scratch volume from 3590/3590E scratch pool to 3590H scratch pool: - TSM command: CHECKOut LIBVolume libraryname volname REMove=No - TSM command: CHECKIn LIBVolume libraryname SEARCH=Yes Note: In order to move volume from 3590/3590E scratch pool to 3590H scratch pool issue above commands and RELABEL the volume after it has been checked in the 3590/3590E library. IN ORDER TO READ THE VOLUME PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN IN 3590/3590E FORMAT ON 3590H DRIVE (THE STORAGE POOL THAT OWNS THE VOLUME POINTS TO A DEVCLASS THAT USES 3590H drive): - UPDATE ACCESS MODE TO THAT VOLUME TO READONLY update volume volumename access=readonly whereaccess=readwrite - CHECKOUT THE VOLUME FROM THE LOGICAL 3590/3590E LIBRARY (THE DEVCLASS' OLD LIBRARY THAT HAD 3590/3590E DRIVES); - CHECKIN THE VOLUME TO THE LOGICAL 3590H LIBRARY (THE DEVCLASS' NEW LIBRARY THAT CONTAINS 3590H DRIVES). Private volumes defined in private categories: The volumes defined in private category have to be marked READONLY in order to read data from them on 3590H drives. After data is expired and volume becomes empty its access type is still READONLY because this volume was directly defined in the private category. In order to reuse volumes with expired data on 3590H drives the access type of these volumes must be updated to READWRITE type. The user may update all volumes to READWRITE type with the following TSM command: update volume volumename/ *(all of them) access=readwrite whereaccess=readonly wherestatus=empty There are also SQL scripts that will allow the user to query all volumes with above mentioned attributes. Next time the empty volume is mounted on 3590H drive for writing, it will be AUTOMATICALLY relabeled using 3590H format. This volume can be used neither for reading nor for writing on 3590/3590E drives. Scratch volumes: Next time the empty volume is mounted on 3590H drive for writing, it will be AUTOMATICALLY relabeled using 3590H format.

Easy way to tell is to
show versions {node name} SYSTEM OBJECT
and look for excessive amounts of records that have **EXPIRE IMMEDIATELY**
(or some such, I don't recall the exact text) in them.

Bruce,
I don't think so.
To tell, look at the occupancy object count for your sys-objects. I would
think that = 20,000 for an average system is not unreasonable, but the
figure varies with the copygroup settings, whether active-directory is in
use, etc.
We have had counts 1.1 _million_ for some sys-objects!
Check with your support. We are still getting e-fixes for various aspects
of system object expiration and also cleanup backupgroups.

1. Is systemobject problem fixed at this level?
2. If not how do tell when they start getting out of hand? Here is the Q

Re: RedHat 8 and TSM Client
I tried installing the new TSM client but libstdc++ causes the client to fail since RH8 has a completely different version. I force installed libstdc++2.96-110.i386.rpm and it started to work.

Re: Upgrade 3590 E-model to H-model
We just upgraded our drives to H-models and you don't have to relabel any of the scratch tapes. They will immediately start writing 384 tracks. Julian Armendariz System Analyst - UNIX H.B. Fuller (651) 236-4043 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/11/02 05:41AM Hi, We want upgrade the drives in our 3494-library from E-models to H-models in the next weeks. After the upgrade we have only H-models in the library with J and K tapes. We will change the access to READONLY for all filling,full tapes. My question concerns the scratch volumes. In my opinion it isn't necessary to relabel the scratch tapes with 384-tracks. The VCR will do that with the first mount on the H-drive automatically. I'm right or ???

Re: Is help broken in 5.1.1.6?
I had the same problem when I upgraded from 4.1.2.9 to 5.1.1.6 on AIX 4.3.3. The problem is when need to upgrade the tivoli.tsm.msg.en_US.devices, server, and webhelp.

Re: return export volume to scratch
You will need to check QUERY LIBVOLUME and make sure the volume is there and the status is PRIVATE. Then you can issue the command UPDATE LIBVOLUME 0ACFB3 STATUS=SCRATCH then I think you will need to issue the comand CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME 3575LIB 0ACFB3 REMOVE=NO and then you can try the CHECKIN command again. Julian Armendariz System Support Analyst - UNIX H.B. Fuller [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/08/02 08:53AM Good Morning All, I have a tape volume that was used to export a node. I would like to check that volume back in as scratch. I'm having trouble finding the answer. Here is an excerpt from the actlog showing what I have tried. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: CHECKIN libvolume 3575lib 0ACFB3 status=scratch checklabel=yes ANR8443E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL libvolume 3575lib search=yes labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch ANR8816E LABEL LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be labelled because it is currently defined in a storage pool or in the volume history file. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DELETE VOLUME 0ACFB3 discarddata=yes ANR2401E DELETE VOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 is not defined in a storage pool. Any tips? Thanks, Jon Martin
Re: how to identify ofsite tapes for specific node
My knowledge of select statements is fairly limited but you will probably have to use
the information in the BACKUPS table but I am unsure how to figure out which tape the
file is stored on. My guess is to use the OBJECT_ID field and there must be another
table that stores what tape that OBJECT_ID is on.

Julian,
I have been having a look at using your select statement below and with
slight modifications I am getting the number of tapes that are needed for
each filespace for the particular node. I believe that the results brought
back by this select command are effectively any tape which has a file from
the particular filespace, whether it be an active copy or an inactive copy.
I tested this by running the statement against a filespace on a node and it
came back with a list of 7 tapes that would be needed. I then performed a
selective backup of that filespace and allowed the overnight processing to
do its stuff (updating all the offsite pools). Checking the results this
morning instead of just having one tape returned, 8 tapes were listed.
My question to you or anyone out there who knows more about select
statements than me (a lot of people I reckon) is:
Is there a select statement that would bring back a list of tapes that would
be needed to restore a particular filespace for a node that only takes into
account the active files needed?
Thanks in advance
Steve Copper

I use this SQL script to get the volumes used by a specific node in a
specific storagepool.
select distinct node_name,volume_name from volumeusage where
node_name=upper('$1') and stgpool_name=upper('$2')
You can either run this from a command line and replace the $1 with the node
name and $2 with the storage pool or add the script to the server and type
run name_of_script nodename storagepool. You can type the names either
upper or lower case.

File Expiration Problems
I have a node running version 42121 on Solaris 7 I had a disk slice on that box
that was called /Backup_Storage about 1 year ago our UNIX administrator created a new
disk slice called /Backup_Storage2 and then he deleted the other disk slice When I
run the Backup/Archive client and click on Restore I still see the directory
/Backup_Storage and the last backup of the files under that directory which were
backed up on 11/29/00
I understand that I can just delete the filespace from the TSM server and it will go
away but I was wondering why the files and directory are still there And if this is
happening then maybe other files that have been removed from the client haven't been
deleted from the TSM server
Here is a copy of our copy group:

If I understand this correctly it should only keep the deleted file for 60 days
