Re: Problem with Exchange backups and logs not being deleted

Many thanks Del,

I'll pass this on to our Exchange admin and get them to have a look at their 
end first ( rather than point the finger at TSM right away! ).

Hi Farren

DP/Exchange does not actually truncate the logs,
the Exchange Server does the actual truncation.
When a DP/Exchange backup completes successfully,
it will tell the Exchange Server that it has stored the
backup and that it can truncate the logs.
At that point, the Exchange Server decides on the
appropriate time to truncate the logs.
I have seen this before. If a reboot does not solve it,
you should get Microsoft involved. You are always
welcome to open a PMR with IBM too. From my experience,
if log truncation has been working, and then stops working,
it usually is something in the Exchange Server that
is "stuck" and needs attention from Microsoft support.

Thanks,

Del

Morning all,

I'm not that clued up on Exchange so I'm not sure if this is a TSM or Exchange 
issue.

Basically, we have 20 Storage Groups and up until recently backups have been 
running fine (have been for years). But just recently I was alerted to the fact 
that four of the storage groups (coincidental all on the same drive), were not 
having old log files removed after the backups. So eventually the disk just 
fills up and the files have to be manually deleted.

I can see that weekly full backups and daily incremental are still running fine.

Before I get bogged down in trying to figure out exactly what's wrong, can 
someone tell me if this is something that the TSM TDP for exchange should be 
taking care of?

Re: Best way to check size of TSM Client ?

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Thanks to all for your assistance.

In the end, for the purposes of just wanting to know how big each server should 
be in the event of a full rebuild I went with the 'q filespace' command and 
bunged it in a spreadsheet.

The other ideas was very much appreciated and have also been noted :-)

Many thanks

Hi, 

I agree with daniel. 

Also think about the possibilty off "q occ NODENAME" which gives you 
additionaly the possibility to see in which stgpools data are stored.

Betreff: Re: [ADSM-L] Best way to check size of TSM Client ?

Hi

If you're wondering how much data is actually stored on your client, for 
fileservers, you could just do a query filespace for all or a specific node. It 
will show you the size of the nodes filespaces, and how much space that is 
utilized for each filesystem.

As for using export node, the filedata=backup will show you the size for all 
versions stored in TSM, not only the active data (active data as in the latest 
of each file, or what is actually on your server).

So only the latest version of files using export, use filedata=allactive 
instead of filedata=backup. This will show you what TSM thinks should be 
restored in case of a server failure.

One thing though, if the filespace query is enough for you, I'd use that 
instead of export node since export node consumes more resources on your TSM 
server, and takes longer time to complete (especially for a lot of nodes).

export node will not give you any information regarding NAS filers (if you used 
NDMP to back them up). 

Best Regards

Daniel Sparrman

What is the best way to get a list of all client nodes and how much disk space 
would be required for a rebuild?

I'm not looking for the total amount of data in backup, but how much data each

Hi,

Well I was going to but because I don't get an option for full or incr etc

Also I see that I have made two errors in that I meant to specify full not

Thanks Richard (and all),

It's an odd server in that I was asked to exclude everything and then just 
start adding bits in (as it's remote, large, and the transfer rate is 
terrible!).

Anyway you were correct, it was a simple domain statement issue. 

All sorted now

TSM backs up local file systems by default. If 'dsmc q inclexcl' doesn't show 
that file system as being excluded, then it should be the case that you have 
Domain statements (dsmc q opt) which constrain what file systems are backed up, 
in which case you should simply add that file system to the Domains list.  It 
is very unusual to have to use Include to have a file system participate in 
backups, given the standard methodology (which is to say, don't do that).

I generally don't recommend using maintenance level 0 of a new
release of TSM code. Before Version 6 came out we were generally
getting good results with 5.5.1.0 client code. We are now getting
good results with 6.2.2.0 client code on systems with OS levels
supported for use with 6.2 client code.

I have the following issue. When the backup runs as a scheduled service it only 
checks/backs up the /boot filesystem.



I put the following in dsm.sys and that certainly allows me to run manual 
backups, but the incremental still doesn't work.



virtualmountpoint /



Any ideas?

It's not an issue: the server error log is for recording thread and process 
termination events.
The Activity Log records hardware events, which supplements your operating 
system error logging and any product-specific SNMP monitoring that's occurring.

dsmserv.err not being written to

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi all

I am still trying to figure out why I'm seeing intermittent drive faults, but 
have noticed that the dsmserv.err log is not getting written to (and hasn't 
been for a long time).

TSM 5.5.2.0 on Solaris 2.9

Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Any ideas why the log isn't being written to?

Regards

Farren

TSM 5.5.2.0, an IBM 3434 library and 4 * 3592 tapedrives (question)

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi Guys

Still mopping up after the power cut at the weekend :-(

I'm still having issue where intermittently, TSM stop being able to access al 
the drives. However, I 'think' I have narrowed the problem down to a specific 
drive.

Now, when I'm looking at tape mounts during a backup of tapepool to copypool, 
I'm seeing the tape vol mounted in the (maybe) faulty drive as R/O.

I understand that the tape is only being read from, but I have seen other 
volumes in other drives being read from, but still have a status of R/W.

So, the short question. Where/when/why/how is the R/O flag set on the tape 
volume?

Regards

Farren

a) Have you checked that the 3592E is using the correct driver (not OS or TSM 
driver). This is usually the issue when a tape drive can be mounted/umounted in 
the OS, but not within TSM.

b) What error are you recieving within TSM when it tries mounting the drive?

c) Have you checked that nothing has happened with the library/drives during 
the outage? If TSM tries mounting a drive, it will first speak to your library 
manager over TCP/IP, and then try reading the drive. 

You claim that both the drive and the path is online, then what happens during 
use? Path is not set offline or drive is not ending up in a polling state? That 
tells me you should see alot of errors in the actlog.

Hi All

Been ages since I have been on here as I don't really have a lot of dealings 
with TSM these days but this issue has come my way :-/

Basically, a 3592E drive in our 3494 library cannot be seen by TSM (it just 
keeps polling). This has occurred since a power outage at the weekend (don't 
ask).

Not, from the Solaris server, I can mount/un-mount a tape with the mtlib 
command, so that would say to me the tape drive itself is ok. But, if I 
initiate anything from within TSM, I have no joy.

I have checked that the path and drive are both online.

Can anyone advise on this please?

Re: Ang: [ADSM-L] Issue with tape drive - TSM Polling it but can't access it (TSM 5.5.2.0)

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi Daniel

There are four 3592 drives in this library and three of them are working fine, 
it is just one of them that has stopped working. Also, all four of them were 
working prior to the power outage.

So, the library and the drives all lost power and had to be brought back up 
again.

If I try to use the problem tape drive from within TSM it simply sits at the 
'Polling Drive' stage but can't access the drive at all. 

So yes, the path and the drive are both online.

In the errorlog, I see multiple 'polling drive' errors.

Cheers

Farren

Try namet=fsid and use filespace ID instead of name.

You will avoid a lot of problems with cpecial characters in filespace name.

Problem with expiration and log volume filling up.

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi all

Running TSM 5.5.2.0 on Solaris 9

I have started to see a problem now where the expiration process seems to get 
caught in some kind of loop where the log volume starts to fill up. At this 
point if I cancel the process it can sit there for over an hour with the log 
getting more and more full. In fact my only course of action when it last 
happened was the quickly add for log volumes to stop it getting to 100% 
capacity.

Has anyone else seen this before and got any idea what's going wrong?

This seems to be far less error prone?

Farren,

Try to add ">> /some_path/log_file_name" at the end of your command.
Also, make sure that there is no "quiet" commutator in your dsm.opt file, or 
replace it with "verbose".

Hi, Farren -

Making progress...
The 127 error is complaining about the path of the command.  I don't see that 
you need the "/Server HD" at the front of the path spec: have it start with 
"/Applications" and give that a try, first doing 'ls -l' on the revised path to 
verify the file path, and assure that the file is marked with an 'x' for 
executable.  (In some installs, the "Tivoli Storage Manager" portion was 
accompanied by a version-release numbering element.)

How to run a command for a Mac client

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi all, I wonder if you can help.

I need to schedule a Mac client to do a daily incrbydate backup.

On the client I have created a file called daily-incrbydate.sh with the single 
line "dsmc incremental -incrbydate" in.

If I run this directly it works fine, but when I try to create a schedule on 
the server to reference this script it does not and I don't know why.

The schedule looks as follows:-

Policy Domain Name: STANDARD
 Schedule Name: MACSERVERS
   Description: Mac Servers
Action: Command
   Options:
   Objects: /Server HD/Applications/Tivoli Storage 
Manager/scripts/daily-incrbydate.sh


The error I see in the log are ANS5190E and ANS1512E

Any ideas?

Regards

Farren

Re: Downloading client updates - problem with index.storsys.ibm.com

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

I was always using Firefox too and had no problems until the past week or so. 
Yes, using 3.6.3.

It does seem to be the space at the start of some dir names that causes the 
issue, and IE works OK.

As long as I can get my downloads, I'm happy :-)

Why should it be a browser issue?  I haven't used IE is years.  I only use
Firefox and occasionally Chrome.  I can get to
ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/ in FF just fine.  I
prefer to use an FTP client for this kind of download/server but FF works
fine?  Are you using the latest, 3.6.3?

Hey Farren,

Are you using a different browser than before? Google Chrome perhaps? I've
come across this before:

Notice the pesky space between the /tivoli-storage-management/ and the
maintenance? Try removing that space (manually in the address bar) and see
if you can browse then - it gets old after a while, so I switch back to IE

TSM Clients Licenses and CPUs ?

Hi All

Is there an easy way to work out how many cpus/cores are being backed up with 
TSM?

Or do I have to go to each and every single client and check manually?

Farren,
This discussion comes up a few times a year from new and old alike.

Here is the link to the PVU table from IBM. It changes regularly.
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/pvu_licensing_for_customers.html

Sub-capacity licensing is available for VMs. 
However, if all your VMs need to be backed up, you are probably better off 
licensing all the procs on the ESX server.
It most cases it is cheaper than licensing each guests processor entitlement. 
If you only have a few VMs that require backups sub-capacity may be cheaper.

TSM license costs are based on PVU per core multiplied by number of cores per 
client/server.

Also take into account whether you are using TSM standard or enterprise edition.
A comparison is here.

I know I started this in a reply to my backing up of virtual machines bit

My simple question is... how do I find out how much licensing costs? :-)

I know it's not that simple though.

My basic questions are this...

1) do I need to use the PVU calculations to work out how much a standard BA 
client license will cost or can I just pay for a standard client license?
2) do I use the PVU calculations to back up virtual machines?
3) are standard BA client licenses cpu based (or PVU)?

Thanks in advance

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Backing up virtual machines

When you backup a VM, you are getting a snapshot of the computer you are
saving,  if you later need to restore a specific file on that VM and you
didn't install the client then you only have the snapshot and you must
restore the entire snapshot, convert it back into a VM and then copy out
what you need.

We annually test our DR plan and last year was the first using VMs.  We
take a snapshot once every week and then use the client on each VM to get
the changes that are occurring daily.  During our DR test at IBM, we
restored the VMs, then brought it up to date using the windows client

If you don't use a client to get the indivdual changes at the file system
level, then you have to take a snapshot everyday and still deal with
restoring the entire VM and conversion when you need to do a restore.  We
are using 5.5 and have 3 ESX servers hosting 20 VMs.  We are in the
process of ordering another ESX server to increase our VM farm.

If we didn't also backup the individual file changes on each VM, we would
have to snapshot everyone each night and the amount of data being saved
each day would be about 25 terabytes despite the fact that only part of
the file system may have changed.  Also during our production season,
taking a snapshot on a active server will cause processes on that server
to be "delayed" while the snapshot log file is being created.  Everytime
this happens, our helpdesk gets calls from users saying that for several
minutes everything stopped.

TSM 6.x may change how this works, but we are using 5.5 with VCB and this
is how it works.  Been up and running more than a year now.

care to explain? The essence of VCB is to not have to install a client
on each VM And the number of clients installed actually has
nothing to do with the number of licenses you need, IIRC.

Backing up virtual machines

Hi all

I have been asked to look into the backing up of virtual machines with a view 
to lowering the number of TSM client licenses we require.

Can someone point me in the right direction of documentation regarding working

One thing to do: start a backup, then use the Admin client to monitor the
client activity (use the QUERY SESSION command). Watch the run state, bytes
sent, and bytes received... how many sessions do you see, and what is the
activity pattern?

What do you see on the client side? Are there errors in the schedule or
error logs?

Also, what is the history of this problem on that client? Did it ever work
correctly? If so, when did it stop working, and what changes were made
around that timeframe?

Ugh...  Generally speaking, that's a programming error.
You're at the highest standard maintenance level within the 5.4.
release, so no advancing linearly.
You may have to proceed in an "accommodation" manner...
That Mac may have less memory than others which backup successfully
there, so that could be contributing to the SIGBUS (10) being an
artifact of TSM running out of headroom.  You might compare this Mac
with others there, and its options file.  If extraneous things are
running on that Mac, consuming memory, remove.  If it has file sharing
or iTunes sharing turned on for no good reason, turn off.
If the backup seems to get up to a certain general point each time,
and then fail, you might try a memory-efficient backup to see if that
gets around it.
That Mac is obviously behind the curve, running OS 10.4, so a review
of its memory and software may be in order.

Using the OS X 'Console' utility, look at the "TSM Error Log" (or
alternate name specified in the options) for possibly insightful info.

Re: Mac Client Still being severed. Why?

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi Andrew

Well, a few weeks ago all the data volumes were mounted on a different/older 
Mac. For one reason or another this needed to be moved to a mac with a new 
version of the OS and I made sure to get the latest supported maintenance 
release for this client. That's where the problems arose, but I can't see 
what's wrong.

I'm going to do a bit more poking about.

When running the backup I don't see anything off from either the server or 
client perspective (until it stops of course).

Then on the server all I see is " ANR0480W Session 21409 for node CHXSERVE03
> > (Mac) terminated - connection with client severed"

The dsmsched log gives me nothing helpful at all.

I'm just going through the error log now as there are various bits an pieces 
occurring a few mins before the backup end, and I'm nit sure if they are 
relevant.

Sadly due to the vnc client I'm using I'm not able to cut and paste the output.

Farren

One thing to do: start a backup, then use the Admin client to monitor the
client activity (use the QUERY SESSION command). Watch the run state, bytes
sent, and bytes received... how many sessions do you see, and what is the
activity pattern?

What do you see on the client side? Are there errors in the schedule or
error logs?

Also, what is the history of this problem on that client? Did it ever work
correctly? If so, when did it stop working, and what changes were made
around that timeframe?

Andy

Hi

Annoyingly, in the client dsmsched.log file I don't see anything useful. The 
backup is running, and then it's not.

I'm trying to cut and paste the entry from a vnc session onto the server but 
alas not having much luck :-)

this is a TSM server message, fortunately for us, the client also has
a log (or standard output). Because this is a client problem (or maybe
some buggy cisco pix in the path?), I'm curious as to what the client
has to say about this

Hi all

Running TSM Server 5.5.2.0 on Solaris and having a problem with just one of our 
Mac Clients.

The Mac Client is running TSM Client 5.4.3.0  (the OS is version 10.4.11).

My problem is that both scheduled and manual backups fail after approx an hour 
(running a few more tests to see if it's exactly an hour) with the message 
ANR0480W Session 21409 for node CHXSERVE03 (Mac) terminated - connection with

I had read a few things saying that perhaps I was running two schedulers which 
I'm sure I'm not (at least, I don't think so), and even if I would still be 
able to run a manual backup during the day when schedules do not run.

Does anyone have any ideas?

When upgrading from TSM 5.4 to 5.5 (on Solaris 9), do I need to:-

uninstall/reinstall the TIVsmSlic package?

delete or rename the nodelock file?

As I use disaster recovery manager I assume I just have to register tsmee.lic?

Do I not have to register a specific number of client nodes any more?

I would make sure all your disk pools have been migrated to tape, then take
the "necessary backups and precautions". I would also change my DSMSERV.OPT
to DISABLESCHEDS   YES so that when you bring up the 5.5 version for the
first time, nothing kicks off. Then verify things are good before turning it
back on. Less of a chance of something happening if you have to back off to
the previous release.

Hi all

Does anyone have a list of procedures to follow if needing to revert to a
previous version of TSM after an upgrade. I am running a single server
install with about 70 clients.

I'm going from 5.4 to 5.5 in the next couple of weeks, and though I don't
foresee any issue I need to make sure I'm prepared.

Of course, prior to the upgrade I will be taking all necessary backups and
precautions.

So, if I did need to revert what would the process be?


I'm thinking...

Stop and uninstall version 5.5 TIVsmS and TIVsmSlic.

Install version 5.4 and then patch as necessary (5.4.1.2 in this case).

Issue the 'dsmserv restore db' command (would I need to have replaced the
original vol hist file first?).

Start server

Re-register licenses.


What am I missing?

Patches required for TSM 5.5 on Solaris 9

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi all

I know I asked this question before but I still have not found a clear answer.

Is there a list of the required OS patches to run TSM 5.5 on Solaris 9?

I have found all the other information I need, but not that bit.

Regards

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

Sorry, Preston, but your presumption to impose this "requirement" on
ADSM-L members is bogus.

Your choice to feed ADSM-L postings to your income-producing
commercial site does not in any way compel ADSM-L members,
contributing postings in good will, to comply with your dictates to
compensate for shortcomings in your site.  ADSM-L exists for its own
purposes, hosted through the graces of a university which reaps no
income from that hosting.  There is no requirement expressed or
implied that postings need to accommodate any other secondary purpose.

What you need to do is finally address the deficiencies of your site
by embarking upon the Web development to organize incoming postings by
thread, as other ADSM-L archiving sites do (adsm.org,  
www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l@vm.marist.edu
/).  While it certainly makes sense to include quoted elements of what
one is replying to when there are details in question, there is NO
need in a threaded discussion to voluminously include all past
elements of the discussion, as a mounting accumulation.  That's
redundant, wastes Internet bandwidth, and is an untoward imposition on
Marist's disk space in hosting this mailing list (at their expense).

You are free to include ADSM-L postings on your site, but it is the
tail wagging the dog for you to try to dictate the usage of an
independent forum.

If the file system being relocated was the original Mac client's only
significant file system, then a REName Node would be the best course
of action, then doing a fresh REGister Node for the original Mac, and
deleting inconsequential filespaces from the renamed node, where the
original Mac will do (lesser) backups afresh.

Where there is external storage which may move around, using a
dedicated, virtual nodename for its backup can make more sense over
time.

Anyway to prevent an unwanted large backup???

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi all

I have been informed that 2Tb of external storage that is attached to one of 
our Mac clients is having to be un-mounted, and mounted to a new Mac server 
requiring that I back up the whole lot again (and this isn't the first time!!).

So, is there anything I can do to prevent this or is a full new backup the only 
way to go?

Many thanks in advance

Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick but see

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21286063  This describes
the end of support for TSM 5.3

Towards the bottom it states


TSM 5.3 customers who have operating systems that are no longer in
mainstream support by their vendor and are not supported in TSM 5.4 or 5.5
will need to obtain a support extension from TSM, or upgrade their
operating system level and then their TSM level. These operating systems
include:
  AIX 5.1, RHEL 3 on Linux System z and PPC, SUSE 8, and z/OS V1R4-6 on
  both client and server
  Windows 2000, Solaris 8, and Linux x86 RHEL 3 on server
  NetWare 5.1 and MacOS 10.3.9-10.4.6 on client


I took this to imply that a support extension was mandatory if you want to
run old code.

I've never heard that before.
TSM is licensed by processor core. If you are paying for the correct number
of cores, you can run any version of the client on the machine you want,
AFAIK.  You're just on your own in terms of getting help with problems, if
that version is unsupported.

Where you get in trouble is if you let your maintenance contract elapse.
Then you have to pay a catch-up fee to reinstate it.  But that can happen
regardless of whether you are running all supported levels of the code.  Is
that possibly the situation you are thinking of?

Re: TSM 5.5 and Client Compatability?

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi

No, the contract has not lapsed (at least as far as I know), it's just the 
usual issue of upgrades being put off (by me) due to so many other commitments, 
one thing leads to another, and before you know it you're running an 
unsupported server with unsupported clients :-)

I am not really worried as I do not remember the last time I had to put a call 
in for anything TSM related, even running all sorts of client levels.

So for now I'm just interested to know if other people are running 5.3 clients 
with a 5.5 server. Trying to get all of our clients up to 5.4 will be a major 
undertaking.

Many thanks for everyone's help with this.

Regards

Farren

TSM 5.5 and Client Compatability?

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi All

I'm still running TSM 5.4 on Solaris and need to move to 5.5.

I have been looking at the Server/Client Compatibility matrix and am still a 
little unclear what is supported. I have always been used to the idea that two 
levels back for client code should be ok. Is this still the case? i.e. I have a 
lot of 5.3 clients and I need to know if they will still work, and/or if they 
are supported?

Anyone know the answer to this?

I also have a handful of 5.1 and 5.2 clients that I know I will have to deal 
with :-(

Thanks

Hi

Sorry, what I meant was, is there a list of the OS patches that are required to

Everything think I find just says 'refer to the TSM documentation' but I can't

Re: TSM Incremental Exchange Problem

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi

Good question. I just asked one of the administrators and he said " I think I 
know what it is. I changed the logging so the drives would not fill up and 
dismount the databases. I will change them back over Christmas."

So perhaps that is indeed the culprit.

Many thanks

What is the logmode on the mailstore? Circular logging must be
disabled for incremental exchange backups to work.

TSM Incremental Exchange Problem

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi Guys

Running TSM 5.4.1.2 on Solaris, backing up Exchange via TDP

Normally we run daily full backups, and then just incremental at the weekend, 
and this had always been working fine. Then, last Sunday some work was done to 
move mail boxes out of one storage group and into a new one (I was not told 
this was going to be done).

On Sunday night, the incremental backup failed for the new storage group 
(STMStorageGroup3) which made sense as there had not been a full backup of it 
in the first place. So on Monday a full backup was taken and I assumed this 
would solve the issue, but now I am still seeing failures for the incremental 
backups of both the new storage group, AND the original group that the mail 
boxes were moved from ( CorpStorageGroup).

Looking at the messages below, is this more likely to be an Exchange issue? The 
full backups appear to still work fine.

The error messages are below

Many thanks in advance

Farren Minns

Hi all (running TSM 5.4.1.2 on Solaris) ... Solutions Console 6.0.1

Whilst I try to use the ISC as little as often there are times when it would be 
handy, especially when I'm out of the office and someone is covering me.

At present I have it running on a Solaris box with lots of free memory and the 
performance of it is so bad as to be almost a joke.

Do other people have similar issues? If so, does anyone have any tips with 
regards to making it run acceptable?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Nodes who are not in a group are collocated by node.

-
If you specify COLLOCATE=3DGROUP but do not define any collocation
groups or if you specify COLLOCATE=3DGROUP but do not add nodes to a
collocation group, data is collocated by node. Be sure to consider
tape usage when organizing client nodes into collocation groups.
For example, if a tape-based storage pool consists of data from
grouped and ungrouped nodes and you specify COLLOCATE=3DGROUP, the
server does the following:
   + Collocates by group the data for grouped nodes only. Whenever
 possible, the server collocates data belonging to a group of
 nodes on a single tape or on as few tapes as possible. Data
 for a single node can also be spread across several tapes
 associated with a group.
   + Collocates by node the data for ungrouped nodes. Whenever
 possible, the server stores the data for a single node on a
 single tape. All available tapes that already have data for
 the node are used before available space on any other tape is
 used.

Collocation question

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi all

Quick question.

Am I right in thinking that if I have collocation set for a primary storage 
pool and I run out of scratch volumes that TSM will just try to put data on any 
other volumes with free space?

Thanks

Farren

Hi Farren

TSM will still list the data on the old 3590 pool as you can have multiple copy 
pools.
Once you have deleted the data on the 3590 vols they should disappear from the 
DRM plan.

As long as there is a copy of every file in (at least) one primary

you're in good shape. It doesn't matter which pools, because your
database tracks where it is.

Re: Old copypool data question

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

OK, that's cool, I guess I'm in good shape then :-)

It just confuses me why TSM lists any of the old 3590 media in the DRM plan as 
there can't be anything on those volumes that are required?

As long as there is a copy of every file in (at least) one primary
storage pool, and a copy of the same file on any copy storage pool,
you're in good shape. It doesn't matter which pools, because your
database tracks where it is.

Re: Old copypool data question

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi Mark, thanks for that

I have indeed been backing up the new primary storage pools to the new 
copypool. So I guess that each time I moved data from the old primary to the 
new primary, this would have been taken into account when I backed up the 
primary pools to the copypool.

I just want to make sure I'm understanding that right.

Thanks again

Farren

Data can be moved from volume to volume within a single copy pool, but
cannot be moved from one copy pool to another.

Besides, if you've regularly backed up your primary pools to the new
copy pool, there isn't any need. You'll want to write a script that runs

del vol  discarddata=yes

for each volume in the old copy pool, to clean out TSM database entries
for data stored on the old pool.

Re: Old copypool data question

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Thanks Rainer

But I'm wondering if I'm still in a position to do that.

Here's what we did. Rename our original tapepool and copypool to tapepool_3590 
and copypool_3590.

Then created new tapepool and copypool with device class of 3592.

I then went through the long process of moving data from the tapepool_3590 
volumes to tapepool volumes (now using 3592 media), one tape at a time. This 
has all been done.

So now I have all the old on-site primary pool 3590 data on 3592 media, and all 
offsite data being written to 3592 as well.

Will this have taken into account the old 3590 offsite copypool_3590 media?

Hi,
first step:
 backup stg primary-pool new-copy-pool
If any data in this first step may not be readable from the primary-stg
you still can restore that data from the old copy-pool,
so be sure that the first step has finished without failures

and then second step:
   delete the old copy-storagepool-volumes with craeting and executing a macro 
del.mac
  consisting of  lines like
  'del vol xxx discardd=yes wait=yes'
  ... for every volume in that old copy-pool
  you easily start that macro from a dsmadmc-shell using the '-itemcommit' 
option
  as  'macro del.mac'

Old copypool data question

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi All

A few months ago I renamed our old copypool and created a new one with a new 
device class to make use of our 3592 tape drives.

So I now have lots of 3590 copypool volumes with data on them, and I want to 
move them to the new 3592 media.

What is the best way to do this?

Many thanks in advance

Moving old copypool volumes

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi people

I have a copypool with about 400 tapes in it from when we were using IBM 3590 
media. Now we are using IBM3592 media and I'm unsure of the best way to get the 
old data off the 3590 and onto 3592?

Is my only real option to mark each old 3590 volume as destroyed so that it 
gets rebuilt? I was hoping I could set the reclaimstgpool flag on the storage 
pool so that I could run reclamation on that pool and have data moved to the 
new media that way, but I don't think I can use the reclaimstgpool flag on an 
offsite pool?

Any tips on the best way to proceed with this would be very helpful.

Many thanks

Farren Minns

Hi All



Last weekend, an administrator installed Symantec Endpoint Protection on a few 
of our large Windows clients (details below).



Since then, the backups have slowed to a crawl, and we have proves that if we 
stop the antivirus scanning specific large directories the performance is 
restored. But of course they want to have this software running on all 
drives/folders.



Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

Hi Farren



Both of servers in the cluster will have a utility called Cluster 
administrator, you must use this to start and stop the TSM scheduler services 
for the backups on the clustered drives, if you stop them via computer manager 
(services.msc) then you could cause the cluster to fail to the other node.

The cluster administrator utility should automatically start the services on 
the other node in the case of a failover.

If you want to restart the TSM scheduler for the local drive backups then you 
can do this in the same manner as a non-cluster server.

Hi all again



I am still (I think) having issues with this, although due to another issue 
which is nothing to do with me, I can't even get onto the servers in question 
to do more digging.



I have a question though regarding the schedulers.



In this case we have a cluster called CHI-MB with two cluster nodes (CHI-MB01 
and CHI-MB02). Now, when stopping/starting the scheduler/s in question do I 
make sure to do this from the actual cluster (CHI-MB)? Sorry my terminology is 
off because I'm not the system administrator for this kit, just TSM. Will this 
then effect the active node? And if so, is there some mechanism in place that 
starts the scheduler on the passive node if there is a failover?

I am still (I think) having issues with this, although due to another issue 
which is nothing to do with me, I can't even get onto the servers in question 
to do more digging.



I have a question though regarding the schedulers.



In this case we have a cluster called CHI-MB with two cluster nodes (CHI-MB01 
and CHI-MB02). Now, when stopping/starting the scheduler/s in question do I 
make sure to do this from the actual cluster (CHI-MB)? Sorry my terminology is 
off because I'm not the system administrator for this kit, just TSM. Will this 
then effect the active node? And if so, is there some mechanism in place that 
starts the scheduler on the passive node if there is a failover?



Thanks



Farren

Farren,





You may be affected by a faulty configuration, where the password in MS

cluster's checkpoint file is not synchronized with the local registry

password anymore, thus making the service fail ... It happened several

times in our shop already !

IBM noticed the problem, and published a solution here  :

Slow TSM Client after Symantec installation

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi All



Last weekend, an administrator installed Symantec Endpoint Protection on a few 
of our large Windows clients (details below).



Since then, the backups have slowed to a crawl, and we have proves that if we 
stop the antivirus scanning specific large directories the performance is 
restored. But of course they want to have this software running on all 
drives/folders.



Has anyone else dealt with this issue?



Thanks in advance

Farren Minns - John Wiley & Sons Ltd







CLIENT

OS  - Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1

AV  - Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.2010.25

Hi Farren



Both of servers in the cluster will have a utility called Cluster 
administrator, you must use this to start and stop the TSM scheduler services 
for the backups on the clustered drives, if you stop them via computer manager 
(services.msc) then you could cause the cluster to fail to the other node.

The cluster administrator utility should automatically start the services on 
the other node in the case of a failover.

If you want to restart the TSM scheduler for the local drive backups then you 
can do this in the same manner as a non-cluster server.

Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question

Hello



Ah OK, that makes sense.



I just checked and the TSM CHI-MB Cluster RG Scheduler points to a standard 
looking dsm.opt file although we don't do normal backups on these servers 
anyway (yes).



The TSM Exchange TDM Cluster RG Scheduler points to 
\Tivoli\TSM\TDPExchange\dsm.opt that contains the nodename CHI-MB-EXCH. I know 
that this is the nodename referenced with the actual exchange backups.



Thanks for your help with this, took a bit of getting my head around.

Hi again Farren !



Aha ok, two nodenames?



My best guess is that TSM Cluster Scheduler is only backing up the OS.

And TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler is responsible for Exchange backups.



What I do is to use two TSM nodes and two scheduler services on Exchange

servers like you seem to have.

But I only have TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler defined as a cluster

resource.



OS backup is not a part of the cluster and should be defined per host,

which requires two nodenames.

The reason I'm confused about the 'cluster scheduler' is that we also

that was responsible for the backups?



Why the need for the two separate schedulers?

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Cluster Scheduler Question

Hi All

TSM 5.4.1.2 on Solaris 2.9
Backing up Exchange (MS Windows Server 2003, RC2 SP") - 5.5.0.0 in a
clustered environment.

We had this set up by an outside company and are now seeing some
problems with the TSM Cluster Scheduler automatically failing over the
cluster due to a password issue (this is as far as I can see anyway).

So, the dumb question, what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do?
I can see there is a separate schedule for the Exchange TDP backups.

Thanks

Farren

Re: TSM Cluster Scheduler Question

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Hi Henrik, many thanks for that, very helpful.

The reason I'm confused about the 'cluster scheduler' is that we also have a 
'TSM Exchange TDP Scheduler' running, and I assumed it was this that was 
responsible for the backups?

Why the need for the two separate schedulers?

Thanks again.

Farren

Hi,

First, de-select "affect group"  in the cluster resource properties for
the TSM Cluster Scheduler in cluster administrator, cluadmin.exe.
This prevents the whole cluster to failover when the TSM service stops
due to whatever.. ex. bad password.

Verify that the correct registry parameter is replicated as a part of
the cluster resource:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\Nodes\
\

Consider to set passexp=0 on the TSM server for the Exchange node.

Update PW on both cluster nodes.

"what does the Cluster Scheduler actually do?"
Backing up Exchange? :-) You will find the answer if you search on the
nodename and schedule in TSM.

Re: Total Data Stored by TSM?

[Minns, Farren - Chichester]

Thanks for that.

Now, I'm assuming that includes active and inactive copies of files?

If so, is there a way to get a figure for just active?

The reason I ask is that I am being asked how much data would need to be backed 
up if we had to completely backup all of our servers again. Now, I guess I 
could go to every single machine and extract that data (slow), or run the q 
occup command and then add up all the Occupied (MB) entries, but there must be 
an easier way... I hope :-)

Thanks again

TSM TDP for Exchnage issue today!

[Minns, Farren; Chichester]

Hi Guys

It's not my week for databases sadly. Today I had a failed incr Exchange backup 
and found the following on the IBM site. As such, I am now running a full 
backup which is working fine. But, I'm still not understanding exactly why this 
is happening.

Can anyone enlighten me?

This was the error and explanation I found for it.



Exchange backup is failing with HRESULT: 0xc8000230
 Technote (FAQ)

Problem
Incremental backup fails after a failover. In the schedule log :

ANS1909E The scheduled command failed.
ANS1512E Scheduled event 'EXCHANGE_MON_DB_INCR' failed. Return code = 402

Solution
Customer installed Exchange in a Cluster environment. A full backup has been 
successful. Later, a failover occurred. The next incremental backup fails. In 
the exchange log, we have the following :
.
Backup of storage group First Storage Group (EXCHGROUP) failed.
ACN5798E MS Exchange API HRESEBACKUPSETUP() failed with HRESULT:
0xc8000230
.
The database missed a previous full backup before the incremental
backup.
.
The TDP connects to the Exchange API, and ask the Exchange server
to run an incremental backup. In this case, the Exchange server
is refusing :
.
MS Exchange API HRESEBACKUPSETUP() failed with HRESULT: 0xc8000230
.
The problem here is database defragmentation that causes the failure of the 
incremental, for this reason a FULL backup needs to be done after a 
degragmentation on exchange.

Re: A TSM DB2 API question

[Minns, Farren; Chichester]

Hi Jeff

Well that's certainly pointed me in the right direction and can indeed see that 
those variables are set. Sadly however the output files have not been updated 
for a long time, possibly since this was all set up. So I'm confused.

I have managed to track down some information in the DB2 Control Centre and it 
looks like, for what ever reason, the database that keeps failing is already in 
a quiesced state before TSM tries to do the same, so it just fails. Very odd.

Sadly I am not a Win or DB2 administrator so I'm fumbling around in the dark a 
bit :-)

Thanks anyway for the pointer, much appreciated.

All the best

Farren

If i remember correctly, there is a variable called DSMI_LOG in the TSM

Select CONTROL PANEL
Select SYSTEM
Select ADVANCED (W2K only)
Select ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES button (W2K only)

Good morning all

I am trying to track down why certain DB2 to TSM backups are failing
rather regularly. I don't believe it's a TSM issue and would point the
finger at DB2 not being able to quiesce the datafiles in question etc.

However, where do I find logging for this kind of thing? Is there
anything similar to the BA Client dsmsched.log or is it all housed

I have set the backup schedules to notify me if they fail, but I don't

Many thanks in advance for any pointers on this.

Re: FW: Question about copypool storage pools

[Minns, Farren; Chichester]

Hi

Yes that's exactly what happened to me as I was not quite as clued up as I 
hoped.

Initially I just renamed the old copypool and created a new one with the same 
name as the original. When I got in the next morning the copy of on-site to 
off-site was still running and was vastly larger than we ever get, and I then 
twigged what was happening which is why I decided I need to create complete new 
on-site and off-site pools. Great fun :-)

Many thanks to all who replied to this.

If I read this right and you're creating a brand new offsite copy pool
and then point your primary pools to it you are going to start from
scratch in other words that new copy pools does not have any knowledge
of the data in the primary pool, so it you have 100TB's in your primary
and you point it to a new pool you're going to re-copy all primary data
to the copy pool from day one.  We recently found this out with a
different challenge we had. Move data's are the way to go, as you can
use the reconstruct parameter on the move data to eliminate white space

to 3592_copypool.

But yes, you can use MOVE DATA to get data from your old 3592 primary
pool to your new 3592 primary pool.  Or you can set the NEXTSTGPOOL on
your old
3592 primary pool to your new 3592 primary pool and enter a MIGRATE
command.

Anything that isn't already in your new 3592 copy pool will need to be
copied there.  But it won't be copied there more than once no matter how
many BACKUP STGPOOL commands you enter.

Yes. Each copypool is independent of other copypools.

FW: Question about copypool storage pools

[Minns, Farren; Chichester]

Hi all

A little background. Up until recently I had the following setup.

Disk BACKUPPOOL migrating to 3592 TAPEPOOL with a 3590 COPYPOOL.

I needed to create a new 3592 COPYPOOL as the number of 3590 off-site tapes 
being sent each day was getting too large.

So here is what I did.

I marked the original TAPEPOOL as readonly and renamed it to TAPEPOOL_3592_OLD
I then marked the original COPYPOOL as readonly and renamed that to 
COPYPOOL_3590_OLD
Next I created a new sequential access 3592 TAPEPOOL and made sure that it was 
the NEXT storage pool for the BACKUPPOOL
I then created a new 3592 COPYPOOL.

My question is this...

Can I use the 'MOVE DATA' command to move data from volumes in the old 
TAPEPOOL_3592_OLD to the new 3592 TAPEPOOL?

If so, will this new data also need to be copied to the COPYPOOL again?

Many thanks

Hi to all



I wanted the output of this script in wide orientation (like table) but always 
no matter what I tried I got as a list 



SET SQLDISPLAYMODE wide

select Distinct CHAR(p.source_name,20)as "Source Name" ,CHAR(r.drive_name,12)as 
"Drive",CHAR(p.device,20) as "Device",CHAR(r.online,12) as "Drive Online" 
,CHAR(p.online,12) as "Path Online",CHAR(r.allocated_to,15) as "Allocate TO" 
from drives r,paths p where r.library_name=p.library_name and  
r.drive_name=p.destination_name



Always get:



Source Name: ADSM

  Drive: FILE2DRV4

 Device: file

rive Online: YES

Path Online: YES

Allocate TO:



Source Name: ADSM

  Drive: FILE2DRV5

 Device: file

rive Online: YES

Path Online: YES

Allocate TO:



Source Name: ADSM

  Drive: I2000DRV1

 Device: /dev/rmt0

Path Online: YES

Allocate TO: ADSM



Source Name: ADSM

  Drive: I2000DRV2

 Device: /dev/rmt1
