TSM and 3590E Tapes
We are running TSM 3.7.3 on OS/390 2.8. We are getting ready to upgrade our tape drives from model B's to model E's. IBM says that the upgraded drives will read the old tapes just fine, but will write them at the new density. I am unable to determine what, if anything, I need to do to configure TSM for this change. The deviceclasses only define 3590 with no model information. The capacity information for the old density tapes will not be correct when it starts writing at the new density. Is this something that TSM will adjust automatically or do I need to reset it somehow? Are there any problems I'm not thinking of that might bite us with some tapes at the old density and some at the new, once TSM starts writing tapes with the upgraded drives? Anything, else I should be looking at. Thanks for any advice. Louis J.

Re: TSM and 3590E Tapes
Thanks. One thing I'm not clear on is whether I need to set the old B tapes to readonly or can I let TSM do it for me. IBM says that the new drives will not write over a non-scratch tape in the old format. When TSM calls for an output tape and the drive detects the old format will it genrate an error that causes TSM to mark the tape readonly and then mount a scratch tape? Or should I set the B tapes to readonly before bringing TSM up with the new drives? Thanks also to those who pointed me to the online archives. Louis J.

The biggest gotcha is that your old B tapes will all become readonly - because the E drive can't write the 128 track B format. All your new tapes written in E (256 track) format will reflect the proper capacity. If you are running mostly backups - and have a constant stream of migrations / reclamations - you can probably leave things alone. if your data is pretty static once it hits tape - then you might want to do move datas on those tapes. -john
Re: Unable to init TCP/IP driver in OS390 2.10
This sounds like what we saw when converting to 2.8 last year (are just now working on 2.10). I think it has to do with the telling TSM which TCPIP you are using, IBM's or something else. There should be an ANRDDDEF member in the SYS1.SAMPLIB for R10. It has comments describing how to setup the job for your environment. Then I think you need to rebuild your DSMSERV module. There should be some doc on this in the TSM section of the upgrade information as well as in the ANRDDDEF. Louis J.

Can't Get New MGMTCLASS to Work
We are running 3.7.3 server on OS/390. On one of our NetWare servers running client level 4.1.1 we wanted to start collocating a filespace we were not collocating before. I defined a new management class and backup copygroup for it. I pointed the copygroup to new storage pools (a disk pool migrating to a tape pool). I formatted and defined volumes for the disk pool. I activated the policyset with the new management class. I had the NetWare people update the backup to use an include naming the new management class. But when the backup runs it does not use the new management class. Nothing gets written to the new storage pools. The logs for the backup don't show any problems that I can relate to this. I have reviewed the documentation and the list archives but have not found anything additional I need to do. Am I missing something? Does anyone have suggestions for where to look.

It did not have a max size set on the pool, but the pool was full enough that it could not fit 5G more into it.

A client is reporting the error below trying to backup a file. The ANS1301E error is vaguely worded "server detected system error". I can find no errors in my TSM 3.7.3 server log or my OS/390 system log during the time of this backup attempt.

Re: ANS1301E Error
Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I had available drives. The only other process using a drive was a DB backup. Yes, the disk pool is shared and was full enough that the 5G would not fit, so that explains the tape mount attempt. But I can still find no reason for the job to fail. We do have plenty of scratch tapes available. There were no errors related to tape problems or other problems during the 4 to 5 minutes this backup was trying to run. I have forced migration of the storage pool. It was only about half full, so had not triggered a migration yet. The backup seems to be running to the storage pool ok. This pool is not collocated, but we have seen backups wait for a tape being used by migration when the storage pool was migrating for a collocated pool. The last comment in your note you allow client backups to tape drives (a setting I believe...)? does trigger an idea. We have recently seen a problem with some Novell backups of large files that tried to go to tape. They appeared to fail because the MAXNUMMP setting apparently came in with our upgrade to 3.7, but existing nodes got set with MAXNUMMP=0 instead of the default of 1. They failed with ANS1312E error that clearly referenced the MAXNUMMP setting. I'm wondering if this problem is the Unix client version. This client is an existing AIX client that also was left with the MAXNUMMP=0 after the upgrade. Louis J.

IF you are not going straight to tape, the DISK area that you are trying to backup to can't hold your 5+GB file. Mind you, that if the DISK pool is shared...it could be some percent full from other backups? Another thought..colocation on?...tape in use by another process (it shouldn't matter...but...)...available scratch tapes?

Re: ANS1301E Error
Thanks, I had looked at these and reset the Novell nodes, just yesterday, I didn't get around to the Unix ones then or might have avoided this problem today. I did reset the MAXNUMMP for this node (and my other old nodes), but as I said, I had already migrated the pool. So, I will have to do a separate test. On a related question, when I queried some of these and reset some yesterday I noticed some nodes were set to "unlimited", like your example. I looked at the documentation and played around with UPDATE some, but could not figure out how to set it to unlimited. I don't think I need it but I wondered how to set it and why some nodes already had it set that way. What should they be set to? I have been setting them to 1 per the default, but know that the defaults are not always what is the best. Louis J.

Backing Up Novell Directory Structure
I have just been made aware that I should be backing up the directory structure for my Novell servers separately and I have few questions. I have reviewed the documentation about the dirmc option. Is there some way to calculate the size of the storage pool I should use for this management class? I have no idea how large to make it. I don't plan to define a next pool because I want it to stay on disk. Also, how is this affected by previous backups that have been run without the dirmc option? Will a new incremental backup with the option backup the entire structure to the new storage pool or will some of it still be retained with the previous backups. Is there somewhere besides the Admin Guide, Admin Reference, and Novell client manuals that I can find more documentation on this? Thanks for any help. Louis J.

Re: Excluding Files on Restore
Thanks. Yes, we thought of this, but the long file name that is the problem was unable to be created on the NetWare server. Our NetWare guy played with this for awhile. At this point we're not real sure how the file got backed up but it is still causing us a problem. At this time we are running a restore of the particular directory specifically including the files we want restored and leaving out the bad file name. Fortunately, a large number of files were restored there before it hit the problem. Then we hope to run an incremental backup against the directory to force TSM to mark the bad file as inactive. Then we will rerun the general restore which should not try to restore the inactive file again. For your information, Tivoli did not have any hits on this problem. They liked our idea for restore-backup-restore. They suggested upgrading the NetWare client as a next attempt and if that did not work to trace the problem for them to diagnose further. Thanks for the suggestions I have received on this problem. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/20/00 17:43 PM I would have to look into that, but for now a quick workaround is to create a file with the exact name of the file you do not want restored in the directory where that file lives, and then have TSM clinet not overwrite existing files. Durring the prepar phase, this file will be disqualifed for restore operations, and thus skiped.

What determines that a restore job will be "restartable"? I've looked in both the server and client manuals but all I have found are instructions for restarting or querying restartable restores. The online help for the client had some information about options that would make a restore non-restartable, but we thought we had met the requirements and the restores still do not show up as restartable. I queried the list for "restartable" and found some information, but nothing specific. If you can point me to the information about this I would appreciate it. Thanks
Restore Tape Drive Usage
We are running TSM 3.7.3.0 and trying to complete a large restore from over the weekend which had to be restarted last night due to a hardware problem. It is my understanding that restore requests will only use one tape drive for mounting restore volumes. My boss is asking if there is a way to make the restore use more of the drives. I've already suggested breaking up the restore into multiple commands. I was unable to find documentation that each restore session would only use one drive.

Re: Groupwise on Netware
This is from our GroupWise people: Our GW is running on NW5.0 SP5. Yes, we back up all the GW boxen with agents running. I haven't checked the logs that closely but suspect we're not getting open files. We're investigating reimplementing St. Bernard OFM product at the moment to overcome that. Other than open files, I don't think we have seen any issues. I just did go and check a few of the logs, and it seems in fact we are getting good backups. Since there's not a lot of client activity during backups, the user databases are closed, or open for short periods, and get backed up. If open files are retried at all, they would probably get caught the next try. There's naturally a lot of both new and expired message files in the transaction areas, and I saw no problems there.

Looping Access Errors
We have seen this problem a couple of times now and were wondering if anyone has any suggestions for an easy way to deal with it. We have seen someone who is not a registered node on our OS/390 TSM 3.7.3 server attempt to access the server with a client. Of course, they get rejected as an invalid node, but they apparently have a poorly designed automated process which repeatedly retries the attempt. We have had to determine who it is based on their IP address and try to contact them about stopping their process. It is similar to what we have seen when a registered NT node gets their password out of sync and continues to generate repeated access errors. We can lock those nodes until they correct the problem, but we can't lock a node that is not defined. Well, I assume I can't; I didn't actually try it. It would be nice to have some way to control these repeated non-registered access errors from the server side as well. Thanks for any ideas. Louis J.

Re: Migrating from ADSM to TSM
I am also working on the upgrade to TSM. Can anyone give more specific information about how long I might expect the UPGRADEDB to take? I only have an 8G database, but some other database processes I have used took many many hours. It would be nice to have some idea how long this might take. Thanks, p.s. I am cross posting this to ADSM-L but wanted to ask here since there was already discussion on IBM-MAIN. Louis J.

Re: Audit DB - Duration
The last time I tried this (on ADSM v3.1.2.40 with about a 6G DB) it ran for a day and a half over a weekend before I canceled it. This was on a 9672-R51 with 512M memory. Louis J.

Last I heard was and hour per GB of DB. The TSM server is V3.7.2 on an AIX SP2 node 9076 (wide) dual processor 200Mhz, 2GB memory. Thanks, Jerry Siciliano
