ITSM v5.1.5 CD-ROMs?
Env: TSM v4.2.2.12 AIX server, running just great! List: I hate to go to v5.X, but need to in the next few weeks. We are getting ready to upgrade to either v5.1.1.X or to v5.1.6.X. I have been monitoring and saving all the upgrade v5.x emails over the last few months so I could review them when I upgrade. Can anyone tell me if there is a v5.1.5.0 base-level CD-ROM? The v5.X upgrade emails show there is some confusion about this subject.

Help Needed/Point in Right Direction: Getting Tapes Off-Site
TSM'ers: Our Management is finally getting where we should have been years ago with Disaster Recovery. I need to start getting my TSM tapes off-site and need you advice. Environment: Two H70s (one test, one production), AIX 4.3.3, 3GB memory each, shared 300 GB SSA disk drawers. One 3570 Magstar dual-drive, 20-slot library. Library size=~55 C-format tapes. TSM Server/Clients 3.7.3. 10GB Primary Disk storage pool. DRM installed but never setup/used. We backup Oracle financial dbs only-no network clients. Backup size ~60GB (AIX & Oracle dbs) each night. Questions: 1) How would you proceed if we need to get the TSM tapes off-site as quickly as practicable? Maybe start off with backup sets initially until something more thought-out is established? 2) Use DRM? How about Copy-pools? 3) Should I use DRM? (I know I should but I don't know the first thing about it). 4) What other options are available? Any help is appreciated.

Setting Client Environmental variables-3.7.3 AIX client
I have pored over the TSM "Installing The Clients 3.7 manual" on this question, and it is unclear as to the actual practice. My AIX client (AIX 4.3.3, TSM 3.7.3 client) observation: At times , the dsmsched.log files are in the / directory. At other times, they seem to move to the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin directory (I know it sounds strange, but it has happened). Question: How do you specify where the "dsmsched.log" is located? "Installing The Clients 3.7 manual" Answer: Put the environmental variable DSM_LOG into either dsm.sys or dsm.opt file and put the path where the .log file should go. My dsm.sys & dsm.opt files don't specify the DSM_LOG variable. I don't know whether to chance putting the DSM_LOG in there and see what happens or what. What I need is some advice from you! Do you use the DSM_LOG variable in your dsm.sys or dsm.opt file? or how do you specify where the dsmsched.log file goes??

Moving from RS6K AIX H50s to H70s
We are moving our ADSM environment from IBM AIX RS6000 H50s to IBM AIX RS6000 H70 servers (need more memory/speed/disk space-don't we all ). I need to know how to move the ADSM environment (3.1.2.40) We are moving our Magstar 3570 tape system to the new servers also. The only thing we are backing up with ADSM is the AIX files and our Oracle DB/files. No other network clients are involved. Can I just copy our ADSM DB tape into the new ADSM server directly? Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

How to delete un-needed Filespace Names
We use ADSM to backup our Oracle dbs and AIX files. We are NOT backing up any network client files. We are moving our Oracle dbs from an RS6K H50 to the new faster RS6K H70s.

A trivial question about IE Explorer web browser
To all: This is a trivial question compared to what has been discussed here: Those of you who use the IE 5 web browser to interface with ADSM will know this: I recently lost the ability for the "events window" on the web browser to display a larger pop-up window when the length of the event message goes beyond the event line window. In other words, the "events pop-up window" will expand to display a large length event message. I can't figure out how to make it expand like it did before. I have set the IE explorer back to its defaults. ADSM 3.1.2.40 IE 5 &/5.5. Any ideas??

Volume checkin time
Running ADSM 3.1.2.40 What is the dsmserv.opt option to set the time interval a checkin volume is required? I though it was "MsgInterval". But, I have set this to 60 (and restarted the ADSM server), and I am still getting these checkin libvolume messages set to only 1 minute, which is way to short to do the checkin. 09/06/00 11:16:37 ANR8308I 002: 3570 volume 0FF4A7 is required for use in library 3570LIB; CHECKIN LIBVOLUME required within 1 minutes.

3570 Volumes status=empty. Why?
This has not happened in the last 1 1/2 years of our ADSM system. Some of our 3570 volumes are being reclaimed OK, except instead of being deleted out of the library, some of them go to an "empty" status. Do any of you know why this is happening?? Yet other volumes reclaim to their end and then get deleted from the library, as they should. I believe this has happened to us 2-4 weeks ago, and the "empty" volumes eventually get deleted, but it takes somekind of doing. Any ideas?

If it shows no servers defined you need to define one using the DEFINE SERVER command. You can use the minimum option, eg DEFINE SERVER tsm1 PASSWORD=tsm1 HLaddress=n.n.n.n LLAddress=1500 So the servername and password can be anything, the HLaddress is your server's TCP/IP address and LLADdress is the server port.

I have inherited TSM totally on my own now and have to learn real fast. I need to know where the include/exclude statements should go. The manuals say: dsm.opt or dsmserv.opt or dsmserv.opt.smp The previous ADSM operator was to have setup the include/excludes, but when I look in the *.opt files, I don't see any of them there. Is there some other file where they might be? We are not using client option set include/exclude definitions. I have examples in the manual, but I need to have someone give me a "real world example" from there system and what file the example is from. We are backing up only oracle dbs with TSM and doing full/incr backups of both H70 RS6Ks, not other network clients are being backed up. Env.: 2 H70 RS6K, 4.3.3, TSM 3.7.3 server, client still at 3.1.?.

DRM-Is there an easy way to learn DRM?
SMer's I know DRM is complicated and has a whole 4 day class devoted to it. We have the DRM module but have never implemented it because no one knows what to do with it without going to the class. With that said, is there some DRM manual that I could read and get the basics of setup for DRM without going to the DRM class? or, Would I just make things worse by trying to setup DRM without the class?

TSM v4.1.1 migrate install: "No device definitions are saved"????
We are planning the TSM server v4.1.1 install. We will be doing a migrate install on AIX 4.3.3.0, TSM 3.7.3.0. In the README for v4.1 migrate install section (pp 1), it states: " For a Migrate Install o No device definitions are saved. Record all of your current definitions because you will have to redefine all devices after the installation of Version 4.1." To those of you who have already installed v4.1., does this really mean you will have to redefine all devices?? or, what?? >From a practical point of view, will all of your devices go away after the v4.1.1 install?? Please shed some light on this. TIA.

"Expire Inventory" taking way too long to complete
We issue an expire inventory command on a daily admin schedule. We have ~1.6M objects in the TSM db. It normally takes ~10-12 minutes to complete. Today, it is taking well over 1 hour to complete. We have no unusual activities occurring that I can see. Does TSM so some "extra" checking on a periodic basic which could explain why it is taking so long to complete the "expire inventory" command?

Richard, you were right one. After the "expire inventory" was completed, I did the "q occ" (query occupancy) and we had about 6GB of AIX files expire on one of the AIX servers. That explains it!! I just never observed this and was concerned as we all are when "unknown" occurrences are observed. Thanks for you help.

That might be the result of a retention threshold being reached, or a large number of files having gone Inactive some time ago. When the Expire Inventory completes, you will likely see some large numbers of files in the stats. Another possibility would be if someone inadvertently cut retention periods, but an ACTivate POlicyset would have to put it into effect, so would be conscious. Richard Sims, Bu

Help with ITSM Disk Pool/Client backup expectations
Enviro: W2K TSM server 5.1.6.3, w/primary disk storage pool, migration to DLT tape library. W2k/NT client 5.1.5.15 Scenario: 2-3 client backup sessions happening at one time. Question: Are all the backups being serviced and written to the disk pool in some round-robin fashion? or, is any 1 client backup session being totally completed before another client session is started? or, just how does multiple concurrent client sessions operate in this scenario? Is there any documentation on this behavior?

Re: Archive schedule error: No file specification entered
Yes, I was in much of the weekend to make the archives work. I had scheduled them for sat. night. When I came in on sun. noon to check on them, then didn't work!!! So, I figured out the prob., then scheduled them for sun. afternoon-night. When I came in Monday morning, it worked. Now I need to apply this knowledge to our main TSM server, which is ~10x as big as this one is. I am confident in the steps from the mistakes I made with the first, smaller TSM server. I also will now institute specific archive files/directories and watch out for the vertical growth syndrome. Tks again.

TSM subfile backup vs TSM incremental ?
Enviro: W2K TSM server 5.1.6.3 W2K client 5.1.5.15 I have read in the W2K Admin Guide about subfile backups.

We use the TSM subfile backup for backing up windows 2000 servers over a WAN network. And it helps, really helps. We have run into four problems, Three of them are design issues: 1) The subfile cache, which is located on the client to store the checksums for each block of a backed up file. This cache has a max size of 1024megbytes and we have cache's that max out. I am not sure what effect this has on the subfile functioning, but it does take a bit of disk space. It would be nice to know what effect on the subfile backup process maxing out the subfile cache has. 2) The max file that can be handled by the subfile backup is 2gig, and we have folks who have larger files. It would be good if IBM could lift this limit. 3) If the delta file grows beyond a fixed size of the base, the file is backed up again to create a new base. This puts a hurt on the network. It would be good if the TSM server could build a new base file on the server using the old base and the delta. 4) We had a problem with a couple of restores, when the size of the base file and the delta file exceeded 2gig the restore would fail. This is fixed in the latest client levels. This was a great new feature for TSM. I hope they keep up the work. len
How to move your TSM server recovery logs?

Re: BareMetalRestore
FYI: Being an IBM Premier Business Partner, I addressed this question with our Tivoli Channel rep. Here is an IBM Sales Flash on the subject of BMR: Bare Metal Restore And IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Below is an account from an IBM SE who has sold plenty BMR solutions with out selling a Veritas product or any other 3rd party product. We can almost always provide a customized solution that is as good or better than BMR. This approach requires some additional selling. BMR is not unique in its ability to boot from a network image and restore. The value proposition that BMR brought was that it would integrate with recovery software "under the covers" and provided one piece of glass for all platforms. If you look at the documentation, it is pretty evident that BMR has four distinct solutions for bare metal restore: one for each of the platforms that they support. For the UNIX platforms they basically mimic the solutions provided by the OS vendor: NIM for AIX, Jumpstart for Sun Solaris, and Ignite for HP-UX. With WinNT/2K, they have basically automated the procedure that we have documented in the "bare metal restore" redbook and the "using TSM with Win2K" redbook. Generally a customer is only interested in one, or sometimes two of the platforms that BMR supports. I generally listen to the customers concerns and have them tell me what they really need. Contrary to popular belief BMR does not come out to the box fully configured, there is quite a bit work to do after the software is installed. I generally point out that with only an incremental bit of effort, the customer can have a solution customized for their environment without having to buy (or have the hassle of working with) a third party product. I also suggest that there could be a lapse in support when the OS is updated. The OS recovery tools are updated at the same time as the OS so this exposure does not exist in this case. This argument has been received very well in UNIX environments, but unfortunately WinTel sites generally want a shrink-wrapped solution. A bit of good news is that help is on the way for AIX. Sysback6000 is scheduled to provide BMR-like functionality and TSM integration by the end of the year. Ghost, Ultraback and Christie are planning solutions for Win2000, but I have not had the opportunity to test any of them. I would like to see us build "bare metal" capability into the Wintel platform. I have scripted procedures on more than one occasion and it is not nearly as difficult as one might think. The lack of a packaged bare metal restore capability is one of the primary reasons that we will have an uphill battle gaining marketshare in the Wintel space. The other two are the lack of an integrated HSM solution (sorry, but otg is not the answer) and a usable administrative interface. To net is all out, the approach that I have found to work best is to "de-mystify" the bare metal process.Show BMR for what it really is collection of network booting tools that call backup software. Let them know that much of this functionality is provided to them "free" by OS vender. Basically, inform the customer that there are other solutions available and that more are on the way Ken Sedlacek AIX/TSM/UNIX Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Certified Specialist: RS/6000 AIX v4.3 Support IBM Certified Specialist: RS/6000 SP & PSSP 3 Tivoli Certified Consultant - Tivoli Storage Manager v4.1

The automated schedules each give the same error. When I try and do a manual incremental or selective backups, the same error occurs (ANS1312E Server media mount not possible). I can manually do TSM db backups in the Magstar 3570 library with no problems. Audit library 3570lib runs without a problem. I have restarted the TSM server and restarted each of the clients schedulers to no avail. I have checked the AIX errpt for any rmt1/2 errors. None reported! This is a real stumper!! Anyone have any ideas on this?? ps-I am thinking of upgrading to TSM v4.1 in-order to get TSM Tech support availability.

Re: Disposal of bad tapes
I always throught that Tivoli said the tape(s) could not be read by anyone without a viable DB tape. Is this right or wrong? Ken Sedlacek AIX/TSM/UNIX Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Certified Specialist: RS/6000 AIX v4.3 Support; RS/6000 SP & PSSP 3 Tivoli Certified Consultant - Tivoli Storage Manager v4.1 "James, Doug" cc: Sent by: Subject: Disposal of bad tapes "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> 02/06/2002 11:32 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We use 9840 cartridges manufactured by Imation, similar to IBM 3590 tapes. For our company, Imation will replace the cartridges that are defective as a result of Imation processing; on average, this was true for half of the cartridges that failed. The only sticking point is that we must send the cartridges to Imation for analysis. If we magnetically erase the cartridges to prevent live data from going out of house, we destroy the imprinted servo tracks and void the warranty. Our auditors decided that the risk of exposing privacy data was too great, and instructed us to stop sending live data to Imation. We could send tapes to Imation if we wrote ones and zeros across the entire tape, but if we are unable to write to the tape, then we erase and dispose of the tape. One additional note on disposal: the tapes contain chromium, a carcinogenic heavy metal that must be disposed of as hazardous waste in the United States.

TSM client schedule triggered by an event?
To All: AIX 4.3.3 TSM server/client 3.7.3 We are backing up our Oracle dbs and AIX OS with TSM 3.7.3 (upgrading to 4.2 very soon!). We have been using server-prompted schedmode for the client for some 3 years now. No problems. We are investigating ways to make our backups more efficient and our DBA wants to trigger the client schedule from an event. The event is the completion of doing hotbackups of our Oracle dbs. The event script would create a lockfile during the Oracle hotbackups, and then remove the lockfile when the hotbackups are done. Is there a way to then trigger the client schedule based upon the removal of the lockfile? Your input is appreciated??

Restarted TSM server several times, same problem. In AIX smitty devices, the tsm_devices (fast path), I do not see the 3570 library/medium changer defined. Is this normal??
