Re: [ADSM-L] How to delete

Wouldn't "Del vol discard=yes" delete all
data for all nodes found on the volume?  Would work if you were using
collocation.

Betreff: How to delete copystg data for a single node?

Hello
 
I have move the data for a node from 3590 to our VTS, The VTS is running
PPRC so the data is automaticly copied betwen two VTS's.
That means that I don't need to backup the data in the primary storagepool
for that node, but how do I delete the data that is already copied to the
copypool?

Re: LTO2 device class with LTO1 tapes!


Use the chcekout libvolume command to
checkout the generation 2 tapes then check them back in with status=pri,
then use the define volumes command to define them into the storage pool,
just be carefull to use the exact name that shows up in the libvolume command.
then you need to update the storage pool to max scrach to 0  make
the gen 1 tapes in the gen 2 storagepool readonly and move the data to
the same pool with move data command.

Yes your TDP 5.1.5 will work at TSM

here you can find the client with the

[ADSM-L] Domino 6.5.4 w/
TDP 5.1.5

Hi SMers,

I'm looking for a statement which proves to my superiors that TSM will
comfortably backup Domino 6.5.4, through the 5.1.5 TDP, after the
migration to new W2K3 servers. All I've found is a few statements on the
IBM Domino forum which state that problems were experienced with the 5.1.5
on W2K3 and that the recommendation is to upgrade to the 5.3.1 TDP.

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/560bdd283da2e7938525700e006c8b43?OpenDocument

Will the TDP 5.3.1 work with our 5.2.1 server? I'm sure I've read that
later clients cannot be used with earlier server versions, but I'm not
sure if it applies to TDP's aswell..

Many Thanks,
Matthew

Re: LTO2 device class with LTO1 tapes!

Mladen

how do you look at the volumes, if you see them in q libvol, that is to 
bee expected, as this shows you all volumes that tsm has access in the 
library regardless of there storagepool. but if you see them in your q vol 
command then you might have a problem, one solution to this is to define 
the LTO gen 2 volumes manually to the storage pool and not have it take 
scratch volumes (chance Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed to 0 instead of 
50), if you do that you can bee 100% sure that tsm wont take generation 1 
tapes to that pool.

Re: JR- Backup sets


Trimark 

there is no best practice for creating
a backup set for windows or NetWare. I guess you know how to make them,
but how frequiently and on witch media is entirely based on case by case
basis. it´s kinda like asking what your favorate color is, it varies form
administrator to administrator and from one customer to another and varies
even from client importance to another. I myself would find it good practice
to make backupsets of system partitions and make them on media that dont
not require adtional drivers during basic install (only deviceses that
are supported in the Harware Qompatability List  in windows) of the
system, DVD for instance, I would make sequental acces disk pool that has
max size of 4.6 gig volumes (or the maximum dvd size you have) and burn
it on DVD, that way is not good of course if you have large filesystems
to make backupsets. but this is only my opinion and is by no means the
right way or beter than any other. Just go with what you think will be
enugh for you.

Re: Disk Pool Volume Configuration


Ben is absulutly correct here in my
oppinion, raw volumes are beter.
Even though aix has the best I/O perfomance
 is not as good as raw volumes.
you need be a good AIX administrator
to tune the filesystem to be as good as raw. I do alsow agree with Ben
on to take earch LUN a volume and to put them in one storage pool. you
could put 2 volumes per LUN but it that depends on the perfomance on the
SATA disks versus your network load and your tape perfomance.

Re: [ADSM-L] Disk Pool Volume
Configuration








           
     This is a little off the topic of your question,
but we don't
have our TSM server on a SATA SAN, just on SSA drives, so I'm not sure
what the best ways.
                

                
I see you are making all those luns into 1 LV, putting a
filesystem on that vol and then putting it in the storage pool. I would
not do it that way. I would make each LUN a volume and then put it in
the storagepool, and not aggregate them together. TSM seems to use a
round-robin approach to using volumes in a diskpool, as you can see a
single session go from vol to vol, so by aggregating them into 1 big
device, I think you kind of blow this load distribution method that TSM
uses internally, as each session will hit that one filesystem/volume and
all the disks at the same time. Yucky performance would be my guess.

                
In addition to that, from my experience, using the devices as
RAW volumes rather than filesystems gives you better throughput on a
typical install. If you are into VM tuning and calculating the
filesystem cacheing attributes, how to tune the read ahead buffers, etc,
etc, you can get filesystems to run better, but it takes more tinkering,
tweaking and monitoring. 

                
I just add the raw AIX volume right into the storage pool and it
works great. i.e. here is a storagepool with a bunch volumes. Each
volume is 1 18GB disks mirrored at the OS level and then put into the
storage pool as a raw device.

Yes Reed is correct there.

This is only one of 3 problems, your raid configuration on your sata 
disks. the size of your TSM attrigates. or the placements of diskvolumes 
versus the accual phicial disks. for instance if you have more than 2 
volumes per phicial disk and you are doing backup on eatch volume you will 
hit a bottleneck on the I/O because of the head of the disk will be doing 
nothing more than jumping from one write operation to another. the same 
goes with read to tape.

I missed the URL off the last post, so firstly, here it is

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246638.pdf

I don't think that there is a maximum number of volumes that can be
configured in a primary storagepool with a devclass of disk and random.
We have 25 volumes that are 35GB each in size, for a total of 875GB. But
I must stress that this is on FastT disk which are FC.
I have seen postings where people have considerably more volumes
defined. However, as posts have said, the SATA disks are designed for
their 'sequential' nature and I believe that the more concurrent
reads/writes that you put through them, the performance degrades.

You say that you have 1TB of SATA disk, but you don't mention the
size/number of the disks.
For example, if the 1TB was comprised of 4 x 250GB drives, it may well
be worth only configuring 4 migration threads, to maximise the
sequential nature of the disks. Ie 1 disk sequentially writing to one
tape. Again, this is only theory, as I don't know that the internals of
TSM will function in this way.

Also, I haven't considered whether or not you have RAID'd the disks. You
mention that it is EMC disk and I assume that it is from the CX range.
It may well be worth speaking to EMC to ask if you can tune the
performance of the controllers for the type of I/O that TSM is doing.

The following URL is to the TSM V5.3 Technical Guide Redbook.

If you go to section 3.4.6, it discusses some changes in TSM 5.3 that
lend themselves to 'disk only backups'
Obviously, if you're not at 5.3 yet, then they may not be of use to you.

I personally would consider SATA disk as a possible replacement to
sequential tape, but I would still use good quality fast disk as
traditional 'random' disk pool to stage the nightly backups. I think
that it is widely recognised that significantly 'slicing up' the
diskpool into a large number of smallish volumes, greatly improves
performance (certainly on the backup). I believe that this is because of
the 'multi-threaded' nature of TSM.

I would imagine that the config for the best performance of SATA disk as
random TSM backuppool, would be to configure each SATA disk as a single
TSM volume within the backuppool and ensure that you have enough SATA
disks/backuppool volumes as you have sessions in at the same time.

However, with SATA disk capacity increasing rapidly, it's not efficient
to have a 100 x 250GB SATA disks (100 TSM volumes) sitting in your
backuppool, that only ever get 10% utilised.

I must state that this is just my opinion, I have no direct experience
with SATA disks.

what size do you have on your tsm attrigates? the smaller you have them 
the slower the migration process is going to take, alsow do you have 
collocation on the storage pools you are migratig to if you do it is going

[ADSM-L] HELP  Migrations taking too long and pools filling up!






Hello Everyone!

Due to our tape drive shortage I have added a tremendous amount of disk to
hold the data for 24 hours.  It appears as if now it is taking a very long
time for the disk pools to migrate to tape and processes are still backing
up and causing contention with backups of the client data sometimes of up
to 10 hours.  How can I resolve this issue so that the clients receive a
quick backup and do not have I/O contention?  I thought that adding more
disk would help because the landing spot for the data is now a larger disk
pool that can house all of the data, but it seems like it's hitting it's
70% full mark and when I came in this morning the disk pool was up to 95%
full, there are many clients that are waiting to write their backups and
everything is locked up.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!  I don't
know what to do for this environment any longer and I am not allowed to 
buy
tape drives.  Thank you in advance!

Re: New Backup Process


Ok Aaron

you can find the sofware on this ftp
site to download for free
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/server/v5r3/

you can then setup your tsm server and
configure it, and when you revicve the accual cd´s you only need to replace
one file to make it a licensed version it think the filename is adsmlic.dll
(windows) or something like that.

now there is no one correct way in deploying
TSM, you need to configure it based on your needs. i recomend you read
the 2 ibm redbooks  "IBM Tivoli Storage Management Concepts,
SG24-4877-03" and "IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation
Guide".

I storngly recomend that you plan your
installation carefully, a good tsm install is essential for everything,
both regarding cost and managment. A good TSM install can bring tears of
joy to every administrator eyes, but a bad one can quicly turn into your
worst nigthmare.

so my tip for you 

rule 1. planning
rule 2. planning
rule 3. more planning

Re: Image backup

Nghiatd

The System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) is a Windows tool to automate the 
successful deployment of Microsoft Windows. Sysprep is a tool that is 
designed for system administrators, Original Equipment Manufacturers 
(OEMs), and others who must automatically deploy the Windows operating 
system on multiple computers. After you perform the initial setup steps on 
a single computer, you can run the Sysprep tool to prepare the sample 
computer for cloning or use it as a backup on static machines.

Here you can learn more about sysprep, but basicly it is just a microsoft 
thing that has nothing what so ever to do with TSM.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/incremental/sysprep11.asp


when you talk about capacity of system drive is that the assigend capacity 
or the data that you are using?. at least if you where to enter the 
command prompt and run this command from the root "c:\"  dir /S you should 
see how mutch data you have acculy in use on your system. and that data 
should be somewhere around the bytes transfered from the tsm report. If 
not, then your are missing a exclude somewhere  either in the dsm.opt file 
or in the client options sets. You might alsow be getting failed backups 
on some files.

But my guess it that this is not your problem. you might be geting errors 
on some dll that are in use when you are running backups, either way there 
is no way to tell unless we see more details on the error message you 
recive when you try to open office.

Hope this helps

What is SYSPREP ?



I also implement BMR as "Disaster Rescovery Strategies" redbook guide. 
Server : TSM 5.3 server
Client : TSM 5.3, OS : Win2k, database SQL2000, and some apllication 

I full backup system drive (C:) and the other drives. Although, capacity 
of
system drive is 4.8 GB, but when I full backup, I receive a report : "Byte
tranferred : 3.7 GB". I only exclude some files or directories as 
Temporary
Internet Files, Recycled, Recycler.
When I finish restoring process, I boot machine again and start Microsoft
Office or Outlook, I always receive a requirement installing Office or
Outlook.
Therefore, I think the error causes above backup process.

Server-Free Backup is it for real or is it just a Hype

2003-04-04 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson

Hi Guys.

I want to start a discussion on Server-Free Backup.

Server-Free backup is to bee the holy grail in SAN backup. Server free
backup is just when you tell something on the san backup these files, and it
will copy disk to disk or disk to tape or what ever you want. This will make
use of the SCSI 3´rd party command (XCOPY), and it´s real easy to write code
that can recive that command and do the read and write because all the work
is done, because it all comes down to "i want this track and block copyed to
this device". Whats hard to do is to build that command in the fist place.
File space has to bee written such that they will accept a request for a
3´rd party copy command and they haft to have a API so that the applications
know that it´s possible or the application has to go around the file system
and write directly to the SCSI adapter and then it got to figure out where
all those files are. So the kind of Server Free Backup going on today is
realy full volume backup where it´s jst block 0, block 1, blcok 2 and its
more of a Server Free dump than a Server Free Backup.

So my point is that when you use software to do a block level backup on the
SAN. I belive that hardware, where you have firmware microcode will always
be better than software. kinda like hardware raid vs software raid.

I dont see any true benefits from using Server Free backup because today
you´ll alwayes bee bound to full volume backup, and there are usualy mutch
beter deviceses out on the san that can do that. The only scenario i see
where Server Free backup would be acceptable is when you can start doing a
file level backup. but that just isn´t possible today.

I belive Server Free backup is just a sales hype, Server Free isn´t ready
and wont be for many years to come.


Please share your thoughts on my statement.

All,

I have been trying to get Exchange 2000 restore working to a different
server name with no luck so far. (Everything is on Win2K SP3)

We have cluster node1 backing up successfully with a storage group of "First
Storage Group".  We also have another standalone server on the same network
called node2.  TSM client 5.1.5.0 and TDP 2.2 for Exchange are installed on
both.

On Node 2 the TDP Exchange GUI can see the backups from Node1 when you click
on the restore tab. The command line also works o.k using /fromserver and
/excserver.

However, when I try and execute the restore I get "An Unknown API error has
occured"

Node 2 is in a seperate forest, site etc but other than that the Exchange
configuration is identical ( apart from server name )

I know this can be done from reading posts on the newsgroup so any help
greatly appreciated!

Subject: Script problems


Folks,

Just today, I upgraded from TSM 4.1 to TSM 5.1 This is an AIX host running
4.3.3 ML 10. Everything went smoothly. It even rebuilt the new "path"
configurations for the tapes and drives by itself. I didn't have the
"cleanup backupset" issue because this TSM server only backs up some VMS
clusters, so I had no "SYSTEM OBJECTS". I most likely will not be so lucky
in 2 weeks when I have to upgrade some TSM servers that backup NT hosts)

I've only encountered 1 problem this far:

I gather some stats off of the TSM server with various scripts. When I run
these scripts, I typically put a " to continue, 'C' to cancel)" prompt and just sits
there. As a simple example:

 dsmadmc -id=## -pass=##  "select volume_name from volumes where
devclass_name like '3590DEV' "  to continue, 'C' to cancel)" prompt and then perpetually
spews:
...
The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid
responses are characters from this set: [Enter, C]
The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid

Re: Renaming a TSM server.


Questions:

Is this possible without damaging the DB ?

What other steps should be added ?

Has anyone done this before ?


Yes this is realy easy.

This is a OS case. if your OS (Operatin System), if your Ip, DNS
configurations have been configured there should be no problem.

The only thing you need to do with the TSM server is this command

SET TSMSERVERNAME &the name of your server&

Good Morning everyone,
 Due to some reallocating of resources it has become necessary to relocated
one of my TSM servers and Jukebox. Our company has historically prefixed
system names with the  geographical location of the installation.

I would like to change the name of the TSM server to comply with this naming
structure.

My plan:

Change the TSM server name and IP address to comply with the corporate
standard in the new plant.

Update my DNS to reflect the new system.

Change every client's server identification to point to the new IP.

Restart all schedulers and remote web services on all clients using this new

Hi Joshua

If you are using SAN drives. I recomend you to read this readpaper "Of SAN
attached tape, For use with Tivoli Storage Manager". It is not the same,
configuring SAN Tape drives as you do with SCSI drives.

In either case try doing this. Start your ITSM Management console. And start
the Device Configiruation you should see there if you are pointing to ther
right device or not.

hope this helps

All,

I have a new install of TSM 5.1 on a Windows platform.  After the
initial installation by one of my colleagues, backups were working fine.
After a week though, communication to the tape library/drives failed.
Now we are not even able to checkin or checkout tapes from the library.
All operations to the library fail now.  The one thing that I am not
that familiar with is the built-in SAN Data Gateway.  I am using the IBM
Ultrium device driver for the drives but the 3583 library is controlled
by the TSM device driver.  In device manager there are yellow
exclamations over both the library (which is normal) and the "IBM
Gateway Module SCSI Array Device."  I downloaded and installed the SAN
Data Gateway driver but that didn't seem to help.

Petur,

this is a limitation of OS/400 - every SCSI tape adapter can address only
*one* target. No matter will it be used by TSM for OS/400 (actually ADSM
v3.1), ITSM for PASE or BRMS/400.
Thus for say 2 drive 3583 you will need *three* adapters - for the changer
and for each drive. Sorry for the disappointing answer. It might be really
better for your customer to pay for SAN Data Gateway module.
We went even further - for a customer we installed 3583 w/ SDG module, one
FC port is direct attached to iSeries while other is connected through SAN
fabric to TSM server and several MgSysSAN clients. And it works!

Subject:3583 SCSI on iSeris


This is not a exact TSM case but we are having a extremely difficult time
finding anyone with authority in these matters within IBM.

We intend to install TSM with PASE on a new iSeris machine.

This is the only reference we found. on This white paper "IBM LTO Tape
Library Sharing White Paper V2"

"Since every iSeries server (AS/400) IOP/IAP has to have a library control
path, and the 3583 has only one library control path, only one iSeries
server (AS/400) SCSI bus can be attach to a SCSI 3583. LTO support for the
iSeries server (AS/400) is limited to one drive per SCSI bus. This means
that the a SCSI 3583 library attached to an iSeries server can only
contain
one tape drive. In contrast, the Fibre Channel 3583 can have up to six
tape
drives attached."

This customer is VERY close to a decision, but I will not order anything
until everything is crystal clear. That will save us a lot of grief in the
long run.

My questions

Please comment on the following statement from the white paper from a
iSeries point of view.

Is this a iSeries hardware or OS limitation?

Is there any chance this has changed in V5R2? (iSeris version, Not TSM)

differences in between version 4 and 5 in the SQL database


Hello there friends :-)

This has been buggin me the last week.

There have been some changes in the database since it became version 5

I have a script that shows the total amount of data sent over last night.

the output is like this in version 4.x and 3.x

NODE NAME  DOMAIN PLATFORM

-- --  -
--- ---
BAUG_CDB2  REKSTRAR   DB2
12360.93   4
FINGRANDI  REKSTRAR   WinNT

ok this is what happens when I run the command in version 5.


NODE NAME  DOMAIN PLATFORM
MBYTES  CONECTIONS
-- --  -
--- ---
URDUR  VIDWinNT
1909.65   1
PERLAN VIDWinNT
1446.82   1

there is something wrong with this picture, I have around 40 clients on this
site and they either don't show up
or they show only one connection to the database, when I know that there has
been more connections.

this is the script I am using for this task.

select summary.entity as "NODE NAME",
 nodes.domain_name as "DOMAIN",
nodes.platform_name as "PLATFORM",
 cast((cast(sum(summary.bytes) as float) / 1024 / 1024) as decimal(10,2))
as MBYTES ,
count(*) as "CONECTIONS"

 from summary ,nodes
where summary.entity=nodes.node_name
and summary.activity='BACKUP'
and start_time >current_timestamp - 1 day
group by entity, domain_name, platform_name
order by MBytes desc


here it is again:
select summary.entity as "NODE NAME", nodes.domain_name as "DOMAIN",
nodes.platform_name as "PLATFORM", cast((cast(sum(summary.bytes) as float) /
1024 / 1024) as decimal(10,2)) as MBYTES , count(*) as "CONECTIONS" from
summary ,nodes where summary.entity=nodes.node_name and
summary.activity='BACKUP' and start_time >current_timestamp - 1 day group by
entity, domain_name, platform_name order by MBytes desc

Ok I know there are some great SQL guys out there, like Paul Seay and other
SQL gurus.

Can someone tell me why I am getting this so wrong?

Re: create additional diskpool in adsm3.1 on AIX problem


Hmm

look at this

ANR7864W (AIX) Unable to write volume file name.


Explanation: The server was attempting to create a file with the indicated
name. The server was able to partially write to the file before running out
of space.

System Action: The server continues processing. The file creation request
fails. The file is still present on the system.

User Response: Specify a new file name where there is sufficient space.



Ok this is what you gotta do.

go to the filesystem /bfaa1dk3 and issue the rm command on the file you
where trying to create.
Then try to reissue the command and try a smaller volume this time just try
like 2 mb size, if it works then you know that the problem is your size, del
the 2mb volume and reissue ther rm command on the 2mb file and try creating
a real vomume next.
be sure you have enugh space for the file on your filesystem.

That should take care of it.

Hope this helps

Dear Michelle.

here are some tips for you

make sure you have enough space when you try to create the fylesystem.

df -sk

try not to have more than one disk volume per Paschal volume, due to

Hi,

If I then try to backup an individual file of  600mb it backups up

Re: Optimal VMTUNE Guidelines for a TSM Server

2002-09-17 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson


Hey Seay,

here are a few hints on vmtune.

Provided in the bos.adt.samples fileset
found in /usr/samples/kernel (not in default path)
Contorles varius aspects of the AIX virutal memory system. The virtual
memory system contorls most filesystem activity on AIX.
Changes to vmtune parameters do not surive reboot. But A line can be added
to /etc/inittab so that vmtune settings are set upon reboot.
If AIX detects that file reading is happening sequentially it can read ahead
even though the application has not (yet) requested that data.

Helps large file backup on AIX clients and helps storage pool migrations
from disk on an AIX TSM server. When altering the read ahead parameter (-R)
you must also alter the maxfree parameter (-F) so that there is enough free
memory to store the read ahead data. The following equation MUST HOLD:
minfree + maxpgahead <= maxfree
I reccomend the maximum: -R256

If you look at vmtune - minperm/maxperm
it detemens how mutch memory AIX sets aside for file system cache. AIX
can/will throw out application like TSM memory in favor of caching
filesystem data. This can cause paging of the database buffer pool leading
to slow database perfomance. Paging of the database buffer pool can cause
database cahce hit statisitics to ber overly ooptimistic. TSM dos not often
take adcantage of any filesystem caching. So i recomend you to lowvering the
maxperm will make AIX retain more application memmory. Most VM paging on a
TSM (only) server can be stopped by modifying the minperm/maxperm
parameters.
Exeption: RAM constrained systems and database buffer pool size is to large.
Good starting poing is setting aside a max of 50% (-P50) for filesystem
caching instead of the default of 80%.
Lower further if no effective, this changes can be done on the fly. As
maxperm approaches minperm, consider lowering minperm as well and watch
vmstat for progress, if po´s go to zero pi´s will eventually lower as well.


Ok i know of 2 good books that cover this concepts.

Please read this readbook

IBM Certifacation Study Guide AIX Perfomance and System Tuning.

and this book, (this is not a redbook and you need to buy it)

AIX Perfomance Tuning, by Frank Waters.


Hope this helps you Paul

Subject: Optimal VMTUNE Guidelines for a TSM Server


I am trying to figure out what these are.  The defaults are not good on a
large server.

The suggestion is figure out how much memory does dsmserv need and then work
from there.

So lets take the example of a 2G server with a buffer pool of 256MB and an
overall memory requirement of 400MB.  That would make you think there is
about 1.6GB left around.  Problem is the default filesystem maxperm is 80%
of the 2GB or about 1.6GB.  This would mean nothing left for the rest of the
processes, thus lots of paging.  I am thinking a buffer of about 128MB
should be in there.  So, in this case, maybe set maxperm to 65%.

The real question is what other vmtune knobs should be considered in a TSM
server.  The IO prefetch, large or small?  Is there a book on how to do
this?

Subject: Backup reporting


Hi,

   We're trying to put together some TSM backup reports for our
Help Desk staff.  We're using something like

   SELECT * FROM EVENTS ...

and things like

   SELECT NODE_NAME, LASTACC_TIME FROM NODES

and

   SELECT NODE_NAME, FILESPACE_NAME, (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP-BACKUP_END) DAYS
   AS "Days_Since_Backup" FROM FILESPACES WHERE
   CAST((CURRENT_TIMESTAMP-BACKUP_END) DAYS AS DECIMAL) >= 30 ORDER BY
   "Days_Since_Backup"

   What we need is a single, consolidated report that lists all our
client nodes and the (real) status of the morning's backup run.
"Query Events" (and the Select * from Events ...) will tell us
if the scheduled backup was "Completed", "Missed", or "Failed".
>From our experience, "Completed" only means that the scheduled
command actually completed, not that it was truly successful.
By way of exmple, we use a scheduled command script to drive our
Domino TDP backups.  The script invokes the DOMDSMC command to
actually perform the backup.  DOMDSMC may fail miserably, but as
long as the invoking (scheduled) script completes, the status of
the backup shows "Complete".  (We now pass a bad RC from the script
if DOMDSMC returns a bad RC).

   For our Oracle TDP backups, I believe there is a way to issue
a SELECT against the Oracle (RMAN?) instance to determine the state
of the most recent backup.

   Our Help Desk needs to determine if a backup for a given node
actually completed successfully, and if it failed, they need to
determine the cause (all without having exceptional knowledge of
TSM).

   I'm sure this problem has been addressed by many sites in many
ways.  Our ideal solution would be a number of SELECTs, which we
could drop in a CGI script on some Web Server.

   Any words of advice?

about pushing it out to 4:30.  And then of course we have expiration and the

have 30gb for our backuppool.  whichleads to the second question.
2. What command can I run to get the amount of data that was backed

Hi Sascha Bräuning

Yes we are doing it in a few places, and I don't recommend using your LAN
for it. I one place we insert another LAN adapter in the client and the TSM
server and made a dedicated LAN just for those huge clients - This is the
cheap way out of the situation. if you are dealing with one huge file, that
is 300 gig of data that is a database or something like that I strongly
recommend you to consider SAN, that is the professional way.

hope this helps.

Dear Mr Donald

It is not possible to archive data from SQL and Exchange.

I hasn´t hear anything about that IBM will make this feature possible.

Old SQL data and old Excahnge data is useless. the only reason for you to
use this kind of data is perhaps
that 2 years from now you would like to know how your databases looked like
in 2002.

I think Oracle has a interface that creates a snapshot of your database,
oracle then dumps the data to files.

Im not enugh database guru to know this in depth but perhaps microsoft has a
utility like this one.

I think that is the way the vendors want you to do it.

hope this helps :)

TSM Encryption, Again :)

2002-06-05 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson


Hi everyone.

For those who don't remember this discussion a few months ago here is some
update.

A few months ago we had a chance to offer TSM to one of the largest company
here. Soon it became obvious that security where a large concern to them.
They asked a lot of Encryption questions witch we couldn't answer right
away. So there where some long and helpful discussions about this issue here
on adsm.org.

we gave them the information they wanted and they agreed to take TSM as
there Backup system.

I would like to thank you who answered the pervious posts, a lot of our
success and win are because of your help and ideas.


Now the implementation is well on it's way.

The Security team has been reading up on the security issue in TSM, they
have found that the 56 bit DES encryption protocol isn't good enough for
them.  They want to have 3 DES or AES.

They are willing to implement it them self to TSM if Tivoli will let them.

I have one question for you geniuses out there.

Are there any others who need this kind of security out there?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

yes Lindy.

Start your dsmc client and issue some command that will revoke the TSM sever
then, specify your node name and password.

then the password file will bee saved in the "ODM database", or what ever
the Linux uses for storage information like these.

Hello *SMers.

What is the best way to achieve the following 

I have 6 servers, each one of then must be backed up incrementally on a
daily, weakly, monthly and yearly basis.
I thought about configuring 4 nodes for each box on the dsm.sys file,
lets say:

NODE1DAILY
NODE1WEEKLY
NODE1MONTHLY
NODE1YEARLY

And also start 4 dsmc sched processes, so they can backup on the way i
want.

Is it correct or is another way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Mr Eduardo.

TSM isn't build to backup with this system that is Grandpa,Father,Son
system.

I would never recommend this kind of configuration.  You should configure
your system so that you can cover the whole time Spam you need. You will
reduce tremendous cost in tapes with that kind of configuration.

When you think of TSM you need to think outside of other backup systems you
know. because TSM doesn't handle tape expiration like the other systems. TSM
expire on file-level (the way it should be). using tape expiration on TSM is
a brutal rape on TSM.

I recommend you to use only one opt file and, be sure you can cover the
whole time you need in your expire configuration.

If you think that will be to much data, consider to binding only the
important data to the include/exclude option with client option set with
multiple management classes.

Re: Locale on HP-UX 11.0 TSM Server

2002-04-22 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson


dear Mr Bob smith

The AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX support locales other than English that describe
every user interface that varies with location or language. Solaris and
HP-UX only support English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese locale
information. The default directories for system-supplied locales are as
follows.

AIX /usr/lib/nls/loc
Solaris /usr/lib/locale
HP-UX   /usr/lib/nls/locales

The servers and clients obtain format information from the locale definition
in effect at the time it's called. I recommend you to consult the
documentation on your local system for details bout setting up your locale
definition.

We are implementing a new server on HP-UX 11.0. The Language option defaults
to AMENG, but all times in TSM - activity log etc - show as "Mon, Apr 22,
2002 09:28:57 AM". This is most irritating as all the times now split on to
two lines, and I don't really need all this detail. Setting "dateformat" and
"timeformat" makes no difference. Only by setting the locale to Portuguese
(pt_PT.roman8) do I get times like this - "22/04/2002 09.28.51", which is
more acceptable (it doesn't split on to 2 lines), but the decimal point is
now a comma.
Has anyone experience of this problem on HP-UX 11.0 and done something
different?

doesn't matter if you can label the tape or not.

You need to verify the availably, by taking database backup, backup, backup
stg.

the label libvolume command is unaffected by the no mount point awilible.

I have seen libraries witch you can label the tapes, but you cant mount for
backup of any kind.

hope this helps.

My question is,

Is there anything I should know about (bugs, problems) anything sun related

So, if I follow your message correctly and the point I have been trying to
make... There is no easy (one button) method of reporting, which should be
the basis of the software, the very basic core of any backup software, that
I don't have.

To answer the other question posted by Mr. Joseph Dawes, How do I track
failures?, I do it the long way. I start with the q events ex=yes as a first
level then we start going through the activity logs starting with a search
for ANE4959i reporting missed files. Next we go through individual error
logs on the clients if necessary.

And it depends on what you mean by a "successful" backup...

We use Bill's method below to report on all events taht do not have a status
of completed.  (We only used to report on exceptions also ...)

If you are worried about some files that were not processed then "completed"
does not tell you what you want (for incrementals on 4.x clients and below).
Here you will have to do additional queries to report on these failed
objects.  With archives and selective backups however, files in use will
report as failed (can't confirm if other failed files will) (again 4.x and
below) so that is covered here.

Now, with 5.1, incrementals, archives, and selectives all report "completed"
if files are not processed because of some error.

But with incrementals you can now check the return code: 4 = files skipped
(doesn't count files excluded by exclude statements).  But with selectives
and archives rc=4 could simply mean that your exclude statements are working
so now you will have to do additional queries to report on failed objects
here.

We also do queries on file spaces as was mentioned that reports when the
last backup completed.  We've had at least one occasion where security was
changed on an NT drive so that the "System Account" no longer had access
(that is what the TSM scheduler was using).  Here the backup status showes
"completed" but the filespace in question did not get backed up and the file
space query picked it up.

Be very carefull with the EX=YES. There is a status of an event of '(?)'
that doesn't show as an exception. This condition can occur when a backup
schedule starts for a node, and then due to either the client crashing or a
networking issue the connection is dropped and never re-established within
the DURATION of the event. The status is '(?)'. There is an APAR open to
have meaningful status's instead of the '(?)', but for now this doesn't show
as an EXCEPTION.

We got bit big-time at a client of our where they out-sourced the entire TSM
operation to us. They were having failures, but they were not showing on our
EX=YES report. They were not happy campers! I'm still having a hard time
sitting! :-)

We ended up writing some PERL code to parse the Q EV client events and
reporting on anything that isn't COMPLETED.

This behavior started somewhere in the 4.1.x patch levels. So, just be
careful relying on the EX=YES to give you everything that failed.

Subject: dsmerror.log location.


Folks,
  While I S.A. about 16 TSM servers I am not a TSM administrator and know
little about TSM other than how to install and config the client and how to
kick off the scheduler.  However, I am responsible for the scheduled backup
of these TSM servers to other servers and therein lies my dilema.  I am
finding my dsmerror.log files all over the place which makes scripting to
have them emailed to me every Monday morning a pain.  It was my
understanding that you set up the location for your dsmsched and
dsmerror.logs in your dsm.sys file along with their retention periods.  Is
there somewhere else that those locations can be set?  On those servers
where I'm finding these log files put in odd locations I find no entry in
the dsm.sys file that would put them where they're being found.
TIA,
Bill

TSM VS Omniback

2002-04-05 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson


In the recent discussions I have been talking about Encrtipion in TSM and
other for one HUGE potential TSM costumer.

The main competition here in Iceland is somewhat different from the rest of
the world. HP is very strong here and
they are ore biggest competitor in storage solutions (HP Omniback). Vertias
Netbackup is partially nonexistent here.

The first problem is with prizing, HP gives omniback with there hardware
(libraries).

I have absolutely no knowledge in omniback.

Where is there weakness
where stands TSM out.


Could anyone help me with this deal.
Paul Seay gave an excellent comparison of TSM vs Veritas. but since they
aren't in the picture here our competitor is HP.

I regard Stan Zaffos as one of the few industry analyst with credibility in
this area.  I disagree with his assessment on a technical basis between
Veritas and TSM, but considering the way the quadrants are laid out and the
issues that Stan and I have discussed in the past, I know why TSM is ranked
slightly lower than NetBackup.  It has to do with market share and marketing
prowess.  A lot of what the industry analyst use as a barometer is market
share.  Fortunately, Stan is less influenced by this than most.

The reality is Veritas is a household word and Tivoli is not.  Tivoli is
IBM.  Industry analyst have no job if they always recommend IBM.  IBM is
held to a different bar of support, integrity, and reliablity than the
competitors so any ranking is automatically hit with a 10% IBM tax.
Tivoli/IBM will always lag on niche functionality that are hot buttons of
some technician.  In the open systems world, non-IBM customers do not want
IBM because they are afraid that IBM will come in and take over.  It is a
trust factor.  This is why Tivoli is engaging business partners to do most
of their sales.  It is a hand holding experience that the customer feels
comfortable with.

But, things are changing quickly.  Tivoli is displacing NetBackup at quite a
clip now in the large enterprises.  Tivoli's commitment to the Windows
platform is excellent and their functionality development is the strongest
in that area.  That will get them attention and market share.  Let's face it
if every one runs a product on Windows and it is very successful, they will
choose it for their other environments.  Watch out Roseville, the Tivoli
roller is coming.

Does anyone have a link to some detailed "white paper" sort of comparisons

I have a customer specifically asking for comparisons between Veritas and
Tivoli - and the most recent google search turned up several marketing
pieces from Veritas and one Gartner comparison on old versions of ADSM/TSM

Surely someone else has already invented this wheel?

Um, why would you need the key?

Your question is a little too vague to answer properly.

The key is only needed for two steps: encryption, and decryption (ie
backup, then restore).  Every other operation the TSM server does (store,
copy, move, collocate, expire) is done with the encrypted files.  The TSM
server doesn't care what the contents of the file are, it just moves the
files around according to the policies that have been defined.

Like I said previously -- this opens up the entire issue of a key
repository -- if a user misplaces, forgets, or the key files on the
individuals PC are destroyed, the data is *gone*.  How do you back up key
files when you don't trust your offsite storage to keep your data private?
(Possible answer:  back up your key files and send them to a different
storage company.)  But key management is another problem entirely.

Hi,

I have a client on AIX4.3.3 and i am using the schedule to do the backup.
the problem is : the schedule cant get to its normal status after the backup

time it comes to this way.

could anyone please tell me another way how to solve this problem?

There is no additional encryption performed by the TSM server. The
encrypted data sent by the client remains, of course, encrypted when it is
copied to a copy storage pool or backup set (or anywhere else in the TSM
hierarchy).

Files that were encrypted when they were backed up can not be restored
without the encryption key. The encryption key is not stored on the TSM
server. Therefore, someone intercepting the TSM server database and
storage pool volumes could not restore the data without the encryption key
(unless they can hack it, but then any encryption scheme is subject to
hacking).

Except for TSM client encryption, there are no other TSM-enabled means of
encrypting the data.

Hi, I was just wondering where you found the information stating that the

Encryption is done by the client using an encrytion key that it create and
since the key is never passed from client to server, there is no way for

Hi i have posted this 2 times before here but havent receved a reply yet.
thus led me to belive that knowlegde on this is wery limited.

I have a big custemer who is considerating TSM for there backup system.
However, they will be needing to take some of there backup offsite.
They have extremly valible data witch may not get in the wrong hands.

I have been reading up on Encryption in TSM and found it to be only desingd
to protect the data on the way
to the TSM server. I found no info on werther the data would be Encrypted in
the storage pools.

My question.

Is it possible to make Backupset, and be sure no-one can use it if it gets
in the wrong hands (Encrypt it somehow.
How can a administrator be sure that no-one can restore his
copy-storage-pools. is it posible to encrypt the data somehow.
Is it possible to password protect the TSM Database, so that you can´t
restore it without a password.


what way can they take offsite backup and be sure that there data is safe,
even if the bad guys get the tapes.

Gartner Research article, Puts TSM in Second Place, for the Best Enterprize Backup Solution!

2002-03-05 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson


What do you guys think about this article?



Source: Gartner Research
As the amount of storage being backed up continues to grow exponentially and
tight budgets increase the importance of improving staff productivity and
utilization rates, the following trends have become obvious: the move to
enterprisewide backup/restore solutions; the ubiquitous deployment of
replication technology; the deployment of SAN-attached tape and disk; and a
renewed interest in HSM technologies that manage data growth and circumvent
the architectural limits of Exchange. Comments on companies in each of the
four quadrants follow.
Leaders Quadrant: Veritas Software, IBM/Tivoli, Legato Systems and
Hewlett-Packard (HP) are delivering products with broad server, tape and
storage support, and with software agent support for popular ISV packages
such as Oracle, Exchange, Notes, SAP and SQL Server. These products also
offer consolidated administration, scalability, deployment flexibility and
HSM options to improve storage utilization rates and staff productivity.
Veritas and Tivoli are the current market leaders, delivering highly
scalable solutions with good to excellent support.
Veritas continues to lead the market with its NetBackup product, capturing
enterprise backup leadership in 2000 based on new license revenue. Backup
Exec is positioned as a workgroup product. Veritas leads in integration with
all of the key storage array vendors' replication technologies, and the
company offers the related data protection options that customers may
require for a complete data management solution, including e-mail attachment
archiving, HSM and Internet backup products.
Veritas' competitors have made significant strides in filling the technology
gap and, with improved execution, could still change their positioning in
this quadrant, especially when Veritas' high pricing is an issue. IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager (TSM) still benefits from the large IBM sales force and
partner community, although the delivery of new functionality has been late.
Legato launched NetWorker v.6.01, which provides a new indexing architecture
that has apparently addressed many of the code quality issues that caused
customer dissatisfaction with earlier releases. The company has aggressively
worked to move customers to the new release and has improved its customer
satisfaction ratings. The new company management team has delivered modest,
but steady, revenue growth, stabilizing the financial picture, but leaving
improved marketing as the next challenge. NetWorker supports the Change
Journal feature in Windows 2000 to improve the performance of incremental
backups and minimize CPU utilization, the GEMS Console is now available for
global management of NetWorker servers, and media management functionality
has been strengthened through the acquisition and increased integration of
AlphaStor technology from SCH Technologies.
HP continues to successfully sell Omniback II into its installed base.
Scalability and code quality problems that affected earlier versions of
Omniback II appear to have been addressed with Omniback II v.4.0, although
it must still be market-validated. The product is getting good ease-of-use
and reporting rankings, now supports NDMP v.2, and offers a new
instant-recovery capability to manage recovery from split-mirror images.
Challengers Quadrant: To be in the Challengers quadrant, a vendor must not
only have vision, but also the ability to become a significant player in the
market. Vendors in this quadrant should be able to move eventually into the
Leaders quadrant if they deliver on both vision and execution.
EMC's EMC Data Manager (EDM) backup solution has seen strong growth, with an
increased company sales focus, as EMC organizes for a stronger role as a
storage software provider outside of the Symmetrix environment. One-third of
the product's customer base does not have Symmetrix in the backup
environment today, and 46 percent of the customers purchased the software
only, not the hardware/software solution package (although a Symmetrix disk
is required for staging of backup on the backup server). EDM is being
integrated into the suite of EMC software management solutions, with the
first and tightest integration being with the new EMC ControlCenter
Replication Manager product announced October 2001.
Computer Associates International (CA) has recently introduced its
BrightStor Enterprise Backup solution, which has the look and feel of
BrightStor ARCserve backup, a product that the company now positions as a
workgroup solution. BrightStor reads and writes tapes that are
ARCserve-compatible. This suggests an early focus on retaining ARCserve
customers moving into enterprise-class solutions and on improving support
capabilities, which have been a weakness in the past. The company is also
looking to move the installed base of Alexandria and UniCenter Advanced
Storage Option customers to the new BrightStor backup product. The product
is new and without refer

Hi y4all

I am installing TSM 4.2.1.9 on Win NT, I have a Dell PowerVault 128T
library.

My problem is that when migrating from disk to tape I get this right away,
ANR0984I Process 28 for MIGRATION started in the BACKGROUND at 23:20:49.
ANR1000I Migration process 28 started for storage pool DISKPOOL. ANR1134W
Migration terminated for storage pool DISKPOOL - insufficient number of
mount points available for removable media. ANR0985I Process 28 for
MIGRATION running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE
at 23:20:49. ANR1002I Migration for storage pool DISKPOOL will be retried in
60 seconds. ANR1003I Migration retry delay ended; checking migration status
for storage pool DISKPOOL.

However im able to label and checkin volumes without any problems

I have changed the mount limit from drives to 2 (update dev ltoclass1
libr=lb0.0.0.2 devtype=lto mountlimit=2). That changed nothing

My feeling is that im overlooking somthing in the config of the library or
drives

I also have a newer version of firmware then the one tested with TSM.

Would changing OS4s do anything, go to W2K?

Info store question:
Yes, the exmerge does have to read from the Info Store (if that's what you
meant by IS) for each PST.

Time Frame question:
No, not at all. Actually the Exmerge utility goes very fast. We have a 6.5gb
DB and that takes about 20-25 minutes to do a Exmerge on it. Also, you do
not schedule the Exmerge at same time, I would say run the exmerge during an
off-time and clock it. We are setting our time to do exmerge 1 hour before
backup goes off. Then PST are written to a folder and the rest is history.

Backup Question:
You do not do the exmerge at same time (see above). As far as extra time?
What ever your through-put is on "X gb's" of data, then that is the time
that the backup will take in excess.

Confused? Actually Mark, what I wrote came straight from M.S. And yes the
MAPI is used to do "online" backups. How else would your backup software
system (i.e. Arcserve 2000) be able to see the Information Store?

As far as the difference of MAPI/API? MAPI's are sub-sets of API's. MAPI
just like a AVAPI (or VAPI). MAPI's are not old at all, they are still being
used (from 3rd party vendors) so I do not know what you meant by "older
Microsoft Mail client". Yes MAPI is the API call that is used to look at the
database in a "3 dimensional" sort of way, but it is not M.S.'s MAPI. It is
a 3rd party MAPI.

However, you do not have to restore "entire" information store in order to
get back one or more mailboxes or folders with in a mailbox. You run
Exmerge, export to a PST file. That gets backed up as a regular file. You
then can go from there as to what you need from that PST file and how you
use it.

For example: (from personal experience) the mailbox was corrupted. I
re-created the mailbox exactly how it was before. Then logged in to
initialize the new mailbox, created a personal folder, and imported my
entire PST into that personal folder. Then I methodically copied up what I
needed. (i.e. inbox, calendar, etc...). Without mincing words, a PST is a
personal folder, yes, but you still need a place to import it to, and that
place is a "personal folder" in outlook.

However, the only problem was the public folders. We still needed an agent
for those. As a matter of fact, I have not done  testing on how to
backup/restore Pub Folde

the older Microsoft Mail client. MAPI is the interface that the brick level
backup people use to extract the information from the Exchange Information
Store. PST files are personal folders that can be stored locally and hold
Outlook information such as email, calendar, etc. The recommended Microsoft
approach is to restore the entire Information Store to another server and
export the user's mailbox to a personal folder, ie:PST. Then import that

Hi,
Here is what I have found to be "FACT" from M.S. They do not support
Brick Level layer backup, simply because ALL 3rd party vendor's DO NOT use
M.S.'s MAPI for the brick's. They all use their own version as a gentleman
stated in past e-mails. However, They "Do" support "ONLINE" backups with any
3rd party vendors software. WHY? because they all use M.S.'s MAPI to do it.

So this only leaves us to backup up PST files, and do restore-
import - copy over (or copy up) to existing user mail box.

So, to answer your question:  Since you can not do Brick level
backup/restores, you should at least backup the PST files. and no, you do
not have to restore the entire Info Store.  Now TSM says to do an "entire
duplicate Exchange server build" in order to recover your mail.

Here is what M.S. has suggested. Schedule CMD files with the "AT command (or
WinAT)" to use EXmerge utility (Exchange resource kit). Export them to a PST
file, import them into a personal folder and copy up the data needed. Now
you can get as fancy as you want with the CMD files and piping them to a TXT
file for Exmerge and what it is doing (makes for a good Exchange Admin log).

Keep in mind though. Not only do you need enough H.D.D. space for the
offline defrags but you also need to have enough H.D.D. space for the PST
files. How much? Well if your database is 4 gb? then you need at least that
amount to run defrag plus (if you are using Exmerge on entire Exchange
server mailboxes) 1.5(x's) the space for the exported PST's. All together
(doing the math), using the 4gb base #, you will need 10gb of free space, in
order to do all this. Y

Re: TSM Client

2002-02-26 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson


Hi Nazir

Never use the base level clients. That is Clients ending with 0.0

My expirience is that they often contain bugs, witch are fixed in hiher
level TSM Clients.
example use this client.

4.1.3.6

But youre question is Yes
You can use all 4.1 clients on 4.2 and i think all 3.7 clients to,
but not later, that is you cant use ADSM clients on 4.2

Installing TSM 4.2 without Media CD

2002-02-26 Thread Pétur Eyþórsson


Hi i have a problem.

I am supost to get TSM 4.2 Media Kit CD for one of my customers, but it
sadly seem like the cd´s vent the wrong way around the world, because they
aren´t showing up.

I despredly need the 4.2 CD for windows. I have on the other hand access to
a 4.2 Windows server, but as i said not the cd.

My Question

Is there a way for me to install 4.2 without the CD. if i copy the .lic
files to the other server and some other files i would neeed. and then
install the 4.2.1.X server.

Is this posible?

Thanks in advance :)

Re: TSM and RAID on NT


Thanks Kelly.

But what is JBOD?

My Hardware guys say that on Application Servers, they get best perfomance
when setting the stripe size to 16K instead of 8K default (witch is ideal
for File & Print Servers)

Now that's a very good question.  During my LTO vs. SDLT performance
testing, I discovered my first bottleneck at the RAID5 array. I was
surprised by this to some extent as I didn't expect it to be so bad.  So
enter RAID for storage pools cautiously.  We are using RAID in our
configurations, but only for the OS and DB/Log volumes.  We're using JBOD
for storage pool volumes.

As for your specific questions, I don't have the answer.  Remember that TSM
is going to "stripe" data on the volumes: a client will write txngroupmax
files per volume and move to the next (typically.  This may vary a bit, but
you get the idea).  Since it is striping the data, you want to be careful
how much you stripe it underneath.  Lots of head thrashing can occur.

Petur,

If you set the windowsize to 2048 TSM defaults to 63. We upgraded recently
from ADSM 3.1 where our window size was 64. We left this setting in our
option file for TSM, but in the error log, it was saying the size was too
big, and defaulting to 63.

Re: How to restore x server s data to Y server .


You need to grant authority from the x nodes to the Y node, so it can
restore other client´s data.
You can do this both on the x nodes and on the TSM Server.

REMEBER.  the filesystems on the clients need to be compatable. Like you can
restore data from Win9x to WinNT or WIN2k.
But you CAN NOT restore from nfs to ntfs or Fat (AIX to Windows). I guess
you alredy know that :)

hope this helps.

you have to wait until the Space Reclimation has finished the curent file it was

You can halt the server, but then you could end up with corupt database, damaged files
