Exchange restore to another server
Environment Windows 2000 server Exchange 2000 Exchange TDP TSM Server on z/OS Is there any way to restore a Microsoft Exchange backup (done with the Exchange TDP) to another server while the production server is active and the mailbox store is up? Using the GUI, I try to start a restore, but am told that I have to dismount the mailbox store to continue. As that would take down Exchange, it's not an option for me. My goal is simply to get a copy of my existing system onto another Exchange server. My retention periods are 30 days, and I need to preserve the system as it looked 30 days ago. Thanks - Kevin Kinder
Re: Multiple scheduler??
I have seen this before on NetWare servers where multiple instances of the scheduler were started. In the NetWare world, it's quite easy to do that inadvertently when working from the command line. If the client is NetWare, flip through all the active sessions from the console scree to make sure you don't have the scheduler loaded more than once. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/9/07 7:33 PM >>> Hi all, Could some one please help me figure out the following message I received that caused missed backup. 04/10/07 01:01:32 ANR2576W An attempt was made to update an event record for a scheduled operation which has already been executed - multiple client schedulers may be active for node SYSNBDBTS-PRD.

Re: Novell DB files skipped from Tivoli Incremental backups
Tim, I am using presched and postshced to do this very thing on several servers. I am in a class right now, but will email you the details on Friday. Basically, I set up a separate node for the GW backups, then use a pre and post sched to stop and start GW. I do this around 2:00 am (for minimal disruption). So far, works like a charm. Also, the enableGW switch does not work reliably. I worked with that for a month before giving up - including calls open with both TSM and GW support. - Kevin Kinder 304-558-5914 x1988 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/28/07 1:55 PM >>> Mark...

Moving Data
I'm struggling through a bit of a blind spot. My goal is to move all the data belonging to a node from one active tape storage pool to another. Over time, with deletions and additions, the firs pool has become populated with much more data than the second, and as a result migrations are occuring outside their scheduled times. My environment: TSM for MVS 5.3.3.0 Running under z/OS v 1.7 I read the manual, and Quick Facts, where I saw this: *--- Node, move across storage pools Use 'MOVe Data', specifying a different storage pool; then reassign the node to the new stgpool's domain. But if a node shares tapes with other nodes: reassign it to the new stgpool, then let the data expire off of the old stgpool. *--- The nodes I want to move do share tapes with other nodes, so I figured that the second option was the way to go. However, that leaves this question: If the node has files that have existed for a long time and never changed, they would never expire off the old pool, so I would always be left with some files in the old pool, correct? How would I move those files without trying to identify them one by one? Here's an example: Trying to move files from NODE1, which is currently owned by the DOMAIN1 Policy Domain, from STGPOOL1 to STGPOOL2. The storage pools belong to separate domains (DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2), both of which have identical management class settings: * How many different versions of the file should be kept? This number of versions 30 Number of days to keep inactive versions This number of days 30 Deleted Files Number of file versions to keep This number of versions 30 Amount of time to keep the last file version This number of days 30 *-- Each node has files that haven't changed in more than 30 days, and probably will never change gain. Those files will never expire, so how do I move those? Thanks in advance for your assistance. - Kevin Kinder State of WV
NetWare Restore Problem
TSM Server 5.3.3.0 running on z/OS 1.7 Trying to restore to a NetWare server 6.5 Service Pack 5 Netware Client is 5.3.4.0 I have two different nodes backing up data from different directories on this server. Nodes are: DOP1 and DOP2 I am trying to restore from the DOP2 node. The options file for this node is dsmdop2.opt The command I am issuing is: dsmc restore data:admdop/* -subdir=yes -optfile=sys:apps\tivoli\tsm\client\ba\dsmdop2.opt I get the return error: TSAFS 6.51.4 291 an invalid path was used ANS4005E Error processing data:/admdop/blah blah file not found ANS4005E Error Processing '': file not found This error message repeats for every file in the directory. Running the same command with the pick option shows that there are indeed files available to be restored from this node and directory. I also tried to restore just one file, with the same result. I tried restoring to a different directory on the same server, again the same result. I looked through Richard Sims reference and searched the archives, but I can't find any fixes for this problem.

Re: Novell backup performance
So, to follow up, should RESOURCEUTILIZATION never be set higher than the number of NetWare volumes being backed up? And in the case of a server with a single NetWare volume being backed up, is there a way to establish multiple backup sessions to improve backup times? I've traversed the (seemingly) appropriate documentation and only succeeded in confusing myself. I think I know how to do it in Unix/Linux, but that obviously doesn't help here. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/12/05 2:10:06 PM >>> The only thing in the dsm.opt that jumps out at me is the MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP. That will definitely slow down backups, and should only be used if the client being backed up really is memory-deficient. The other thing is, RESOURCEUTILIZATION tends to have dimishing returns. I've found that setting to anything more than 4or5 can have negative consequences (especially if the client is memory-deficient). This is especially true since netware boxes tend to not have more than 2 or 3 filesystems on a server. Other reasons could be bad network transfer rate to that server, slow disk subsystem, and/or slow cpu. If possible, I'd make sure the OS is current on all patches, all the device drivers have been updated to newest versions, and double/triple check for network speed/duplex mismatches. I'd check through the dsmsched.log and look at the end-of-backup summaries. There's usually some info in there that'll point to either network/disks/cpu.

Re: Client OS Level
Thanks all, for the help. Much appreciated. Now I just have to tell a great number of my clients that they have to upgrade their file servers!
Client OS Level
Server is TSM 5.1.7.0 Performing a select on the platform_name and client_os_level fields in the nodes table yields data, but the digits in the client_os_level field do not match with the actual version of the operating system. Is there a chart out there that tells what "NetWare 5.7" or " Win 5.01" equates to in real life? I would go look at each client individually, except that a) the number of clients we have makes that time prohibitive, and b) believe it or not, I don't have the right to access all of the clients remotely If I could believe that every "Win 5.01" equates to Windows 2000, for example, that would obviously help, but I'm not sure of that either.

Re: Netware backups.. ?
Your DSM.OPT line on the NetWare client would read: DOMAIN SYS: DATA1: Backing up your GW files isn't as simple. Third party software like St. Bernard's Open File Manager appears to work, but it isn't cheap. In the latest version of Netware, the TSAFS NLM, which replaces TSA500 and TSA600, has a switch that is supposed to allow TSM to backup open GW files. However, in my tests, it does not back up the user databases, which is obviously a problem. I am investigating further with Novell - if you wish, email me privatley and I will contact you when I find something useful. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/9/05 7:33 AM >>> Hi, I'm not very familiar with Netware - but how is backup specified on a netware client ?

Re: Reported IP inconsistency
Thanks Daniel. I can update the URL value with no problem, and it reflects the changes when I run the query.

TSM doesnt change this value in the case that the IP-adress of the client changes. Only the tcpadress changes on a client change. You can change the URL value by selecting "Updating node", and then "URL". The tcpadress value will change as soon as you restart the TSM scheduler service.

For example: Time remaining until execution: Querying server for next scheduled event. 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Data compression forced off by the server 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 19:19:16 Last access: 07/28/2004 15:19:16 07/28/2004 19:18:58 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN 07/28/2004 19:18:58 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Next operation scheduled: 07/28/2004 19:18:58 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Schedule Name: NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Action:Incremental 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Objects: 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Options: 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Server Window Start: 22:00:00 on 07/28/2004 07/28/2004 19:18:58 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Command will be executed in 3 hours and 48 minutes. 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Time remaining until execution: Querying server for next scheduled event. 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2MAIL 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 19:20:47 Last access: 07/28/2004 15:20:47 07/28/2004 19:20:29 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN 07/28/2004 19:20:29 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Next operation scheduled: 07/28/2004 19:20:29 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Schedule Name: NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Action:Incremental 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Objects: 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Options: 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Server Window Start: 22:00:00 on 07/28/2004 07/28/2004 19:20:29 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Command will be executed in 2 hours and 53 minutes. 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Then, when the backup kicked off, I got this: Executing scheduled command now. 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2MAIL 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 22:13:47 Last access: 07/28/2004 19:20:47 07/28/2004 22:13:29 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 22:00:00 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Please enter NetWare user for "BRIM_SERVER2": Executing scheduled command now. 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Data compression forced off by the server 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 23:07:16 Last access: 07/28/2004 19:19:16 07/28/2004 23:06:58 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 22:00:00 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Incremental backup of volume 'BRIM_SERVER2\SYS:' 07
Re: GroupWise backup
You don't have to shut down GroupWise to back it up. We back up about 15 GroupWise servers, and you don't have to do anything to back up user databases, POs. Domains, or anything. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/1/04 11:20:51 AM >>> Hi Everybody, I have a potential customer with Novell GroupWise. Is there TDP for GroupWise (I guess there isn't; I couldn't find it) Only solution that I can think of is by using Presched and Postsched commands to stop and start GroupWise agents. Is there any other way to backup GroupWise (hot-online backup); I don't like the idea of shutting down e-mail system in the middle of the night, and than pray that after postsched command it will wake up again.

Query shows inconsistent results
Environment: Tivolis Storage Management Server for MVS Version 5.1.7.0 Running the following queries: QUERY EVENT * * BEGIND=TODAY-1 BEGINT=17:00 - ENDDATE=TODAY ENDTIME=NOW - EXCEPTIONSONLY=NO QUERY SESSION The query event shows all the nodes that were accessed during the specified timeframe. The majority were successful backups, but a couple of the nodes show as still in progress, such as: Scheduled StartActual StartSchedule Name Node Name Status 12/08/2003 19:00:00 12/09/2003 02:57:29 NORMAL_DAILY EDARTS1 In Progress However, query session does not show this node as currently accessing the server.

Guiseppe, This is the syntax we use on our NetWare clients. We are running TSM 4.1. Remember that the exclude statements are processed from the bottom up. These statements exclude most of the system files and logs that don't need to be backed up.I hope this helps!

Re: Include/Exclude
Mahesh, I'm not sure if this will help, but we had some problems getting TSM to recognize and execute out incl/excl statements correctly in the NetWare enivronment. Tivoli tech suppor recommended that we use full paths in our incl/excl statements. Here's a sample of the statements we are using on NW 5.x servers: EXCLUDE servername\*:/.../vol$log.err EXCLUDE servername*:/.../tts$log.err EXCLUDE servername*:/.../sys$log.err EXCLUDE servername*:/.../events.log EXCLUDE servername*:/.../secaudit.log EXCLUDE servername*:/.../system.log EXCLUDE servername*:/.../net$obj.sys EXCLUDE servername*:/.../net$prop.sys EXCLUDE servername*:/.../net$val.sys EXCLUDE servername\sys:system/cmaster.dba EXCLUDE servername\sys:system/btrieve.trn EXCLUDE servername\sys:system/tsa/tsa$temp.* EXCLUDE servername\sys:system/tsa/err$log.* EXCLUDE servername\sys:system/tsa/skip$log.* EXCLUDE servername\sys:system/tsa/err$hst.* EXCLUDE servername\sys:_SWAP_.MEM exclude.dir servername\sys:\queues Note the exclude.dir statement - as noted in another reply, this should specifically remove scanning of the specified dirs and all other dirs. When we used this format, the odd behavior of these statements in NetWare ceased - at least from our perspective. Hope that helps. -------- Kevin Kinder 558-8844 >>> Mahesh Tailor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5/22/01 10:30:05 AM >>> I had posted this a few days ago, but I am not sure if anyone got it (my Internet email gateway has not been behaving) . . . Hello, all! I have a clarification question about include/exclude statements. One of our Netware guru's pointed this out to me. Here's what I have (NetWare 5) in my dsm.opt file: EXCLUDE *:\...\*.* INCLUDE DATA:\USERS\...\*.* When I perform an incremental backup of the node, the system backs up everything on the system. If on the other had I do the following: INCLUDE DATA:\USERS\...\*.* EXCLUDE *:\...\*.* The system does not backup anything except the files in the data:\users\...\*.* directories. It seems the system is doing just the opposite of what it's supposed to since these statements are supposed to the processed from the bottom statement up. [See excerpt from Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Using the Backup-Archive Client manual.] Excerpt: These options are checked from the bottom of the include-exclude list up, until a match is found. If a match is found, the processing stops and checks whether the option is include or exclude. If the option is include, the file is backed up. If the option is exclude, the file is not backed up. Has something changed? Can someone explain this? TIA Mahesh
NetWare Client Web Access
I am trying to get the Web Client to work on a NetWare 5.1 file server. I have added these statements to my DSM.OPT file: NWPWFILE YES passwordaccess generate I then issued these commands from the command line on the NetWare Client: dsmc q session dsmc q tsa dsmc q tsa nds After each of these, I supplied the required id and password information, and received a response that the authentication was valid. Three separate .pwd files were generated in the same directory as the DSM.OPT file. When I try to load the dsmcad NLM, I get this notice: Module DSMCAD is not loaded. Check the TSM error log for more information. The TSM error log contains this one line: Error 137 from signon authentication. I can't find this error documented anywhere, but that's probably because I'm not looking in the correct place. I have tried deleting the password files and recreating them, to no avail. The user ids and passwords I am using are correct, because I am able to do a selective backup with them. Any ideas? Thanks for any help! ----- Kevin Kinder -------- Kevin Kinder 558-8844
Data on destroyed tapes backed up automatically?
We are using TSM 4.1.0. We have several tapes in our sequential access storage pool that have been accidentally overwritten with data from other applications. If we mark those tapes as "Destroyed" will the next incremental job backup the files that were on those tapes? Our guess is that it would, because the database would know what data was on those tapes. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. ----- Kevin Kinder
Re: 5 GB limit on Recovery Log
