Re: TSM scripts/macros
Here is how I do it. The select * from processes where process='Backup Storage Pool' will check for running processes or a given name; If none are found than rc_notfound will be true and the section backup: will be run; other wise I delete a tmp admin scheduled called ckproc and redefine it for 10 minutes in the future to run the same command . You should be able to work through the logic here; unfortunately we are very limited with the things we can do with TSM command schedules. Hope this helps, -Craig Riley Children's Hospital in Denver.

Re: AIT drive I/O problems
We have been seeing something similar with out AIT3 drives running in a Spectralogic 64K. Also almost exclusivly during reclamation processing . The difference with our situation is in addition to read errors occationally the volume will fail to unmout and remain stuck in the drive . We then have to power cycle the drive to eject the tape. running scsi traces on the drives when this issue comes up we have found that the event is always preceded by a scsi forward command asking the drive firmware to move the tape position forward by some increment. Sony has identified this as a firmware problem and is testing a fixed version of code right now. Craig Riley The Children's Hospital in Denver -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steven Bridge Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 8:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AIT drive I/O problems Currently running TSM server version 5.1.8 on an AIX 5.2 machine. We have a Qualstar TLS-412600 library with three AIT-2 drives. We are having continual problems with I/O errors almost exclusively during the reclamation of tapes. Most often 98-99% of the reclaim works but we are seeing with perhaps quarter to a half of our reclaims a number of read errors ( 100 ). In almost all cases, when we then perform a 'move data' on the errant tape, it reads the remaining data off without any problems. Errors have been seen on two of the drives over the past month - but I'm not sure about the relative frequency of use of all 3 drives to determine whether the other drive is error free or just lucky. What is most frustrating about this problem, is that a drive experiencing read errors then hangs. The reclaim process is cancelled when the volume has no reads 'logged' for some time - but the process usually takes between 4 to 12 hours to stop - presumably waiting on some I/O timeout. The drive can be observed performing some activity during this time - continual retries perhaps ? If we can't wait for 12 hours for the drives to be available again, the whole AIX box has to be reloaded to clear the situation. Drives have been replaced following tape jams but the replacement drives still exhibit the same problems. We have set the drives up with a cleaning frequency of 1000 GB - so they are being cleaned every now and then. I would be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced the same problems with these drives - assuming anyone else uses AIT drives. I wonder whether the problem is symptomatic with these drives or whether there are any firmware upgrades that might fix the problem. How do you find out what version is on the drive ? I would also be very interested in any suggestions for preventing the interminable hangs. Is there anywhere that this timeout can be reduced ?

Automated drive cleaning is failing.
I have a Spectralogic Gator 64K (AIT3) w/ TSM 5.1.7 on W2K. I have successfully run automated cleaning of my drives from months but since I upgraded to 5.1.7 from 5.1.6 I will periodicly get an error : ANR8300E I/O error on library GATOR (OP=8401C058, CC=314, KEY=05, ASC=3B, ASCQ=0E, SENSE=F0.00.05.00.00.00.00.2C.0-0.00.00.00.3B.0E.00.00.00.00.4D.65.64. 69.75.6D.20.53.6F.-75.72.63.65.20.45.6C.65.6D.65.6E.74.20.45.6D.70.74.79.00-.00 .00.00.00.00.00., Description=The source slot or drive was empty in an attempt to move a volume).

The error refers to the source being empty but a q libvol shows the volume there. I have audited the library and verified that the inventory is correct by checking out/in multiple volumes checklabel=yes to verify TSM knows where the tapes are. I also can not find any similar error in the activity log for any other process except cleaning. Does anyone know why this function is no longer working for me?

Strange backup behavior
I have a W2K box that has been backing up just fine for months. Nothing has changed except the addition of service pack 4 in just as long. However, when ever I run a backup the client backs up every single file even though it's executing an incremental. As a test we event manually did an incr on c:\ waited for it to complete, then did it again; it backed up every file. Client version is 5.1.0 (realize there's an upgrade but its worked for us so far) and the server version is 5.1.6.1 . Any thought would be greatly appriciated Craig Riley The Children's Hospital in Denver DISCLAIMER: CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The information contained in this message is legally privileged and confidential information intended for the use of the individual or entity named above.

Re: 3494 and tapes question.
I would so strongly recommend that you do not remove onsite storage volumes from you library if you can help it at all. Yes it will work, but when you need to do restores, or reclaimation management becomes a full time job. When we out grew our system I had a similar situation, I ended up having to write a perl script to query the server every 5 minutes and email outstanding requests to my OPS team. Although there are ways to find out what tape one might hold a nodes data while preparing for a restore, there is no easy way to know which tape has the active data. This makes tape shuffling very probable. Simply put, if there is a way to keep it all in the robot, do so!

Hi TSMers I am looking at what to do in the next year or so when our tape library becomes full. Baring in mind that we don't do much in the way of restores (most backups are for DR), is it feasible to remove tapes from the library and just keep them on site in case they are requested for a restore, reclamation etc. Does anyone out there do this kind of thing and how does it work for you?
