3592 Media Availability

2003-12-29 Thread Mike Crawford
I've been hearing varying stories from vendors regarding the availability of
3592 media.  Beyond the 20 tapes available through IBM with the installation of
the drive, are these tapes available through resellers now?  I've seen estimates
anywhere from today to March '04.

I'd also be interested in hearing comments from anyone with first-hand
experience using the 3592 in a production environment.  Do they live up to the hype?

Thanks,
Mie


3583 Inventory Command

2003-12-15 Thread Mike Crawford
Is there any way to report the barcodes of tapes physically in a 3583?
I'm able
to see the barcodes one at a time, using the Remote Management Unit (web
interface), but I'd prefer a comman-line approach.

Using tapeutil (under Solaris) doesn't quite cut it, unless there is
something
I'm not seeing.

The command:
tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/1smc -o inv

reports all the cells, and whether media is present, but not the barcode
label.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike


Re: Transaction Failed

Geoff,

I saw the same message last night.  The funny thing is, the node in question
should not have been writing to the first pool listed in the ANRD error.
The two pools are not in the same hierarchy at all.  Does that agree with your
situation?

 I just saw this pass by on the screen and thought I'd send it off. This
 morning I upgraded the TSM Server to 5.1.5.1, it's on AIX 4.3.3. Don't
 recall ever seeing this error before so thought I'd ask. It is just a
 standard backup, no TDP going on.

Retrieve partial damaged file

2002-07-23 Thread Mike Crawford

All,

I've encountered a tape with damaged files on it, for which no copypool exists
(business decision).

The question the user has asked me is:  This is a 942 mb file, the retrieve
fails at 940 mb, and deletes the file.  The data type is such that data could be
usable even if the file is truncated.

Is there a way to stop the file from being deleted when the retrieve fails?

Thanks,
Mike



Re: Occupancy comparison script

Simple:

backup stgpool primarypool copypool preview=yes

Check the activity log, it will show which volumes would need to be
mounted for a backup, if any.

Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape

2002-05-14 Thread Mike Crawford

Any suggestions for a worst case scenario, where it is a primary pool tape which
has not yet had a backup made?

Had this happen this morning.  Wrote 33GB onto a 3590E.  The tape then became
unreadable, the server error being "I/O error reading label for libvolume 101144
in drive RMT1 (/dev/rmt/6st)."

Has anyone used any data recovery services?  Is it even possible in this sort
of situation?

Thanks,
Mike

Here's the other info you requested.  We are still running AIX 4.3.1, ADSM
3.1.2.55.  I'm working at upgrading to TSM4.2, then IBM can/will look at
the

2002-05-10 Thread Mike Crawford

Zlatko,

Here's the output you requested.  As you can see, same model and
microcode levels (it's the same across all five drives.

I've done the same Show Libr on our other two servers, one with
3590B1A's, one with 3590E1A's.
The B1A's:
RMT0 (/dev/rmt0):
type=8, mod=17, busy=0 online=1,

The E1A's: (Sun server, others are AIX)
RMT0 (/dev/rmt/3st):
type=8, mod=48, busy=0, online=1,


The problem we are having with the one drive is that some tapes that are
written on it are not mounted on any other drives.  When a session needs
that tape and RMT2 is busy, the session immediately fails, the tape is
not mounted.

We have not removed the device and readded it through AIX, as we feel we
may risk losing the ability to mount these tapes.  But comparing the
output from the Show Libr commands, is it possible that RMT2 is correct
(it is the same as the 3590E1A's on the other server) and the other four
drives are not (they are the same as the 3590B1A's on the other server)?

Thanks,
Mike

Show Libr output

2002-05-09 Thread Mike Crawford

In investigating a tape drive problem, I found the output from the Show Libr
command to be interesting, specifically the type=8, mod=## fields:

RMT2 (/dev/rmt2):
  type=8, mod=48, busy=1, online=1,
  polled=0, available=1, createPending=0
  priorReadFailed=0, priorWriteFailed=0
  priorLocateFailed=0, update=0, checking=0,
  offline time/date: 00:00:00  1900/00/00
  Log sense counters last dismount:
349X-specific fields:
  devNo=2527744, isScsi=1
  last dismounted volume
RMT0 (/dev/rmt0):
  type=8, mod=17, busy=1, online=1,
  polled=0, available=1, createPending=0
  priorReadFailed=0, priorWriteFailed=0
  priorLocateFailed=0, update=0, checking=0,
  offline time/date: 00:00:00  1900/00/00
  Log sense counters last dismount:
349X-specific fields:
  devNo=2523440, isScsi=1
  last dismounted volume

All five drives are 3590E1A's, four drives show type=8, mod=17, but RMT2 shows
something different.  This is the drive we are having problems with.

Does anyone know what these fields mean, and what values mean what, under AIX
4.3.1?

Thanks,

Re: Offsite Mirror of TSM server

2002-04-18 Thread Mike Crawford

Could you not start a second instance of the server on the target server, restore
the db from the source server into this second instance?

Then the server-to-server would still operate, but it would be within the one
machine!

In theory, of course...

A quick look at past activity logs indicates this began the first day of production
after the 3590E drive upgrades.

This had required a newer version of Atape; would this have changed how messages
are passed back to ADSM?

No Drives Available errors

2002-02-06 Thread Mike Crawford

Good morning,

Since we upgraded our 3590B's to 3590E's, whenever all the drives in the library
are full, we get these errors, under ADSM 3.1, AIX:

02/06/2002 11:13:43  ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library MAGSTOR1.



This causes restore/retrieves to fail, rather than queue, until a drive becomes
available.  We are still using the save devclass definitions from before, MOUNTLIMIT=5
(we have five drives in the 3494.)

Is there some other setting that needs to change?

Thanks,
Mike



Migration and Copypools

2002-02-02 Thread Mike Crawford

According to the ADSM Admin Guide:

Migration of files between primary storage pools does not affect copy storage
pool files. Copy storage pool files do not move when primary storage pool files
move.

If I have defined the following (AIX server, ADSM 3.1):
Primary Pool: Arcpool1
Copy Pool:Backuppool1
NextStgpool:  Arcpool2
Copy Pool:Backuppool2

Arcpool1 is backed up to Backuppool1.  Arcpool2 is the next storage pool, and
is backed up to Backuppool2.  If I migrate all the data in Arcpool1 to Arcpool2,
do the files in Backuppool1 expire?  Or do the files get backed up into the
second pool, duplicating the data again?

>From the explanation in the Admin Guide, I would have guessed that the files
in Backuppool1 would remain as is.  But from what I am seeing now, it looks
like I now have two copypools with the same data.

If this is the case, what can I do to eliminate the first Copypool?

Thanks,
Mike



Re: Reading 'J' tapes on 'E' drives

2002-01-10 Thread Mike Crawford

So far, we've upgraded one drive of three in this library.  While we do our testing,
I've kept this drive separate by defining it to a new library.  Once we're happy
with it, we'll do the other drives, then they all will exist in the same library.


The instructions from the server README file seem clear, there is a section
explaining how to do exactly this.

Mike


IN ORDER TO READ THE VOLUME PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN IN 3590 FORMAT
 ON 3590E DRIVE (THE STORAGE POOL THAT OWNS THE VOLUME POINTS
 TO A DEVCLASS THAT USES 3590E drive):
 - UPDATE ACCESS MODE TO THAT VOLUME TO READONLY
update volume volumename access=readonly;
 - CHECKOUT THE VOLUME FROM THE LOGICAL 3590 LIBRARY
   (THE DEVCLASS' OLD LIBRARY THAT HAD 3590 DRIVES);
 - CHECKIN THE VOLUME TO THE LOGICAL 3590E LIBRARY
   (THE DEVCLASS' NEW LIBRARY THAT CONTAINS 3590E DRIVES).

Reading 'J' tapes on 'E' drives

2002-01-10 Thread Mike Crawford

Ok, maybe I've misread the documentation but, this is causing me some grief.


In testing the upgraded 3590E drive, I've followed the instructions for creating
a new library, devclass, drive, and storage pools.  What I'm trying to do is
move a full J tape from the old library to the newly defined library, and read
it on the E drive.

I am able to 'checkin libvol magstor3e 101008 status=private devtype=3590',
but when I try to read the tape, ADSM requests it be mounted back in the origional
library.

What gives?  I'm at wit's end (not that far from wit's beginning, really!)

Thanks,
Mike



FILESPACE_NAME vs. HL_NAME

2002-01-02 Thread Mike Crawford

Good Afternoon,

A client is having trouble locating archived files using dsmc q ar.  The problem
seems to be that the filespace_name and hl_names differ between the files, even
though they were archived from the same place.

Server: AIX, ADSM v3.1
Client: SunOS, ADSM v3.1

An example:
select filespace_name,hl_name,ll_name,archive_date from archives where 
node_name='HUBER'
and ll_name='BS0266'


FILESPACE_NAME: /WORK
   HL_NAME: /DATA/MARTINE/
   LL_NAME: BS0266
  ARCHIVE_DATE: 2001-12-22 10:46:30.00

FILESPACE_NAME: /WORK/DATA
   HL_NAME: /MARTINE/
   LL_NAME: BS0266
  ARCHIVE_DATE: 2001-12-22 10:41:24.00

FILESPACE_NAME: /WORK/DATA/MARTINE
   HL_NAME: /
   LL_NAME: BS0266
  ARCHIVE_DATE: 2001-11-20 05:38:10.00


Depending on how the client specifies the request, they will get a different
version of the file.

The question is, how does ADSM determine which part of the path is considered
filespace_name, and which is hl_name?

Thanks,
Mike
