STG type directory

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello all

I am now in TSM server 7.1.7.0 , in the past I used the command move nodedata  
to move client from stg1 to stg2.

Now my storages are of type DIRECTORY , I figure how now to move client from 
one STG pool of type directory to another STG pool of type directory.

Any ideas 

Regards Robert

Do we have any tool or software to manage tsm client scheduler from centralised

Something like checking tsm logs and restarting tsm services without logging

Would really appreciate your inputs

Hello, 

I think you are not choosing the right table ( summary_extended ). 

One example: 

select cast((sub_entity) as char(36)) as "VM MACHINE",  cast((entity) as 
char(36)) as "Data Mover",DATE(start_time) as DATE, TRANSLATE('a bc:de:fg', 
DIGITS(end_time-start_time), '___abcdefgh_',' ') as "ELAPTIME",  
cast((activity) as char(15)) as OPERATION,  CAST((bytes/1024/1024/1024) AS 
decimal(8,1)) AS "GBYTES", successful   from summary_extended   WHERE ( 
activity='RETRIEVE' OR activity='RESTORE') and Sub_entity is not null  ORDER BY 
DATE  DESC 

I also think the VMware operations are only restores and not retrieves.. 

I hope this help you.

Hello all

Try to figure how to retrieve information of restore VM from TSM for VE.

I wrote a script to retrieve , restore information but got for entity the name 
of the proxy and not the name of the VM machine.

Here the script:

DATE, cast((activity) as char(15)) as OPERATION, 
cast(float(SUM(bytes))/1024/1024/1024 as DEC(8,1)) as GB FROM summary WHERE

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Backup VE via Resource Pool

Hi Robert,

There is no option (yet) to directly backup a VMware Resource Pool. If you have 
a look at the dsmc backup command, there are following options for VMware 
backup:
Ref:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_cmd_bkupvm.html
and :
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_opt_domainvmfull.html

The domain level parameters are:
all-vm
all-windows
vmhost
vmfolder
vmhostcluster
vmdatastore

No vmresourcepool option here :-(. You could create an RFE for that.

I manage a lot of backups using the VMFOLDER option, i.e. move a VM into a 
dedicated VMware folder and it gets backupped by that datamover.
A workaround that we have discussed in last Dutch Spectrum Protect User group 
is to create a script to list the VMs and create a backup script from that list.
This requires scheduled (manual or automated) regeneration of the scripts, so I 
opted for the VMFOLDER option as this is easy manageable, also by the VMware 
administrators. We have found out that nested VMfolders also work, so you can 
have multiple folders with the same name in your folder structure, the TDP for 
VE picks up all those VMs in the folders.

Percent Total Space Saved calculation

I tried to figure with version TSM server 7.1.5 and the compression feature is 
On , on a stg pool of type directory.

How the percent of a Total Space Saved is calculated  in my case 58.26%

The command  Q STG DEDUPCONTAINER f=d   show:

sm: TSMREP>q stg dedup* f=d

   Storage Pool Name: DEDUPCONTAINER

   Deduplication Savings: 166,578 M (18.89%)
  Compression Savings: 339 G (48.54%)
   Total Space Saved: 502 G (58.26%)

If I run a select * for stgpools got only the SPACE_SAVED_MB and not the

Robert,

you run protect stgpool prior to replicate node. By doing the protect first, 
you can reduce the amount of traffic needed for the replicate node process. 
Also, without performing protect stgpool, you loose the ability to use REPAIR 
STGPOOL as it depends on Protect Stgpool being performed.

Protect Stgpool and Node replication perform two different functions, but 
complement each other. Node replication will send stgpool data and catalog 
metadata.  To insure the logical consistency of the metadata, it will lock the 
data it is replicating (not positive at what level).  After doing node 
replication, you can recover client data.

Protect stgpool moves the data, as well, but does not lock as badly, so it will 
have less of an impact to other operations.  Once it completes, you can recover 
stgpool data (which can happen automatically if Protect senses a data 
corruption in the source pool), also Protect Stgpool gives you chunk level 
recovery that hooks into REPAIR Stgpool.


Best Regards.

Ron Delaware

Hi to all

I need a little bit more information about all the administrative process on my 
TSM environment .

I have a TSM server 7.1.5 on an O.S Windows server 2008 R2 64B.
I have mix STGPOOLS , some of type FILE (with DEDUP on server side) and some of 
type DIRECTORY

For now my order process of administrative tasks is:


1.   At late afternoon for few hours , run IDENTIFY DUPLICATES

2.   At morning 07:00 ,   run EXPIRE INVENTORY

3.   After it, run 
BACKUP DB

4.   After it, run 
RECLAIM STG

Now because I created new STGpools with type DIRECTORY (inline dedup), and  
create too an TARGET  server version 7.1.5..
Update my stgpools of type DIRECTORYwith the option:  
PROTECTstgpool=Targetstgppol  (on Target server)

Now the questions:

What will be the correct order process to add the new tasks as:

PROTECT STGPOOL
REPLICATE NODE

And what will be the correct command to repair damage container in source STG   
?

As  AUDIT CONTAINER ( with which options ??) and REPAIR CONTAINER???

Thanks for this input ..

It is a way to do a general  INCLUDE for "Hard Disk 1"   (ALL VM needs the 
"Hard Disk 1"  to be backup) .

For machines I need to back up more than the "Hard disk 1"  I will add for each 
of them :

INCLUDE.VMDISK VMACHINE1  "Hard Disk 2"
INCLUDE.VMDISK VMACHINE1  "Hard Disk 3"

Best Regards

Robert

Robert, you might use the -vm parameter to exclude certain VMs in your DSM.OPT 
file.
DOMAIN.VMFULL VMHOSTCLUSTER=CLUSTER_NAME;-VM=VM_TO_EXCLUDE1,VM_TO_EXCLUDE2

Also, in your DSM.OPT file you can add INCLUDE.VMDISK options to specifically 
target VM disks you want (which excludes the other disks you do not 
specifically include).
INCLUDE.VMDISK EXACT VM NAME GOES HERE "Hard Disk 1"

Disk(s) not specifically included restore blank at their full size during a 
full VM restore.  I forget if a way exists to prevent the other disks from 
restoring in a full restore.

If you see issues with VM backups or restores, you might also consider adding 
testflag VMBACKUP_UPDATE_UUID to your DSM.OPT file to force the backup to save 
the UUID every time you perform a VM backup.

Good luck!

Hello Robert,

If you only have client whose version is 7.1 or later, you can also use the 
absolute option :

Use the absolute option with the incremental command to force a backup of all 
files and directories that match the file specification or domain, even if the 
objects were not changed since the last incremental backup.

This option overrides the management class copy group mode parameter for backup 
copy groups; it does not affect the frequency parameter or any other backup 
copy group parameters.

Hi Keith

I am curious of the result . 

I need too, to back up to a new storage pool of type directory container (new 
feature inV7.1.4).  Cannot do a nextstg or move nodedata.

So want to try your suggestion COPY MODE ABSOLUTE for now I did in another way.

Rename the node to node_OLD   (all FI are with extension _OLD after it) , 
recreate the node and change the destination to the new storage directory.

After a wild delete the OLD FI and OLD node.

My copypool looks like this:

Policy Domain Policy Set Name  Mgmt Class Name   Versions Data Exists   
 Versions Data Deleted Retain Extra Versions  Retain Only 
VersionCopy Mode Copy Destination

CC   ACTIVE  MGCC12 
  4  1  
 No Limit60 
 Modified  NET_TSM

So  need to change to

Policy Domain Policy Set Name  Mgmt Class Name   Versions Data Exists   
 Versions Data Deleted Retain Extra Versions  Retain Only 
VersionCopy Mode  Copy Destination

CC   ACTIVE  MGCC12 
  4  1  
 10  10 
 Absolute V7000_D1

So after 10-11 days all my 3 inactive versions will vanish  from STG NET_TSM

Hello all

A question about the new feature PROTECT STG in V7.1.3 , I made a test and it’s 
working fine.

I wonder how to delete the data in the target server , if I want to stop to  
protect my primary stg .

I figure I need first to run:

1.protect stgpoolsourcepool   purgedata=all
Will delete only the data on the targetpool of the specific sourcepool 
(correct ?)

2.upd stg sourcepool protect=””

Did I need other commands ?

Re: Protect stgpool question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Stefan

So it's a mix between

1. PROTECT STG  for protecting containers
2. REPLICATE NODE   for node protection node  

So I will create a script with those steps:

protect stg v7000_5 maxsess=4 FORCEREConcile=no  purgedata=no wait=yes
replicate node VIEW_HU_DATACENTER maxsess=4

Now questions :

When to use the parameter  FORCEREConcile=YES  in PROTECT STG (Once a while or 
in daily period)
When to use the parameter PURGEdata= deleted in PROTECT STG (Once a while or in 
daily period)

On REPLICATE NODE it's alsso a parameter  FORCEREConcile , when to run it with 
=YES ?

If I have a container damaged , what will be the correct process to repair it , 
by running and REPAIR STG or AUDIT  CONTAINER ???

Best Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

The protect stgpool replicates the data in the pool to the replication target 
server you defined, you still need to run a replicate node to replicate the 
metadata.
I believe that automatic recovery of damaged files happen at the end of the 
replicate node command but they might have put that in the protect storagepool 
command as well, it used to be at the end of the replicate node command iirc.

So you don't use the restore command and since there can only be one 
replication server it is replicating to it will know where to get the data from.

Regards,
   Stefan

Protect stgpool question

Hello all

In TSM server version 7.1.3 is a news feature called PROTECT STG for storage at 
type DIRECTORY

I wonder if I update  a storage  with option proctect=target_stgpool  , run a 
PROTECT STG command.

After it will made my primary storage pool at state UNAVAILABLE , run a restore 
… TSM will know to  restore from the target_stgpool

Question about protectstgpool

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello All

I create in my source TSM server version 7.1.3.100 ,  2 new STG pools  (SOURCE1 
 SOURCE2) with type= directory (for inbound dedup).

At my TSM replication  server (target) , I create too an STG pool  (TARGET) 
with type=directory

I wonder if I can in my 2 source STG update them with the sane option  
protectstgpool=TARGET.

Meaning the same protectstpool=TARGET for the both STG source.

And when occur the update of the STG in the target ?

Betreff: Bring back TSM Administrator's Guide

A great book is gone. The TSM Administrator's Guide has been obsoleted as of
v7.1.3. Its priceless collection of how-to information has been scattered to
the winds, which basically means it is lost. A pity, because this book had
been a model of complete, well-organized, documentation.

The "Solution Guides" are suitable only for planning a new TSM installation,
and do not address existing TSM sites. Furthermore, they are much too
narrow, and do not cover real-world existing TSM customers.
For instance, we use a blended disk and tape solution (D2D2D2T) to create a
good working compromise between faster restore and storage cost.

Following links to topics in the online Information Center is a haphazard
process at best, which is never repeatable. There is no Index or Table of
Contents for the online doc - so you cannot even see what information is
there. Unless you actually log in, there is no way to even leave a "trail of
breadcrumbs". Browser bookmarks are useless here, due to IBM's habit of
changing URLs frequently. This is an extremely inefficient use of my time in
finding out how to do something in TSM.

Search is not an acceptable replacement for good organization. Search is
necessary, but it cannot stand alone.

Building a "collection" is not an answer to this requirement. It still lacks
a coherent Index or Table of Contents, so once my collection gets sizeable,
it is also unuseable. And with each successive version, I will be required
to rebuild my collection from scratch all over again.

Despite the fact that it had become fairly large, I humbly ask that the
Administrator's Guide be published again, as a single PDF, in v7.1.4.

Directory Container

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello all,

I define a new storage pool with type=directory container , new feature in 
7.1.3.

I wonder now how.


Þ The equivalent command of Q MOUNT  (to view volumes mounted during a 
backup / restore).

The only thing I found is Q CONTAINER * STG=pool_name  , give me the containers 
 which belong to a specific stg



Þ Or the equivalent command of Q NODEDATA  nodename for nodename on stg 
container ?

Question about replication 7.1.3.100

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

I want to implant a replication server with TSM server 7.1.3.100 and to use the 
new feature for STGpool “Directory Containers”.

I want to replicate backups of Oracle DB , TDP for SAP , TDP for Exchange and 
regular files.

I am wondering if is better to create on the replicate server several STG pools 
or only a big one ???

Any experience ? ideas will be really appreciate.

Source and Target servers are with:


· Windows 2008/2012 R2 64B

· TSM server version 7.1.3.100

· TSM client version   7.1.3.1.

I wonder  if in the new feature on V7.1.3.100 call  “Define a

My previous version of server and O.C  was V7.1.1.200

I have to server one HUB ( Postback) and one spoke (Adsm2)  , both are now  at 
version V7.1.3.100

O.C works fine (I think) no problem , but as I said in my previous message a 
lot of entries in Q SE

Bet Regards,

Robert

Hello Robert,

Which were your previous versions of server and oc ?

Do you have a single server, or do you have spoke servers also ? If so, what 
are their respective versions ?

Is OC responsive or is it slow ?

No idea or supposed known defect, just to be curious. I'll work on a similar 
environnement this week : one hub server (with no clients) just upgraded to 
7.1.3, and 3 spoke servers (one 7.1.1.300 and two 6.3.5.100 to be upgraded to 
7.1.1.300).

Regards,
Erwann

For those that want to move existing data into the new directory-container 
storage pools, and don't want to use node replication, you will need to wait 
until 1H16. 
That is when we are targeting "move in" for the new directory-container storage 
pools.

Re: TSM 7.1.3 and Directory-container storage pools

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

Today in my V7.1.3 test environment , tried to move data from old stg fashion 
(file) to  directory container storage without any success
Tried with commands:   move nodedata and move data

Here output

tsm: TSMTEST>move nodedata test from=tsmstg1 to=stg_dir
ANR3385E MOVE NODEDATA: The operation is not allowed for container storage 
pools.

tsm: TSMTEST>move data C:\MOUNTPOINTS\STORAGE_1\STG1\0267.BFS stg=stg_dir
ANR3385E MOVE DATA: The operation is not allowed for container storage pools.

I tried too , to do a nextstg
TSMTEST>upd stg tsmstg1 nextstg=stg_dir
ANR2399E UPDATE STGPOOL: Storage pool STG_DIR is not a sequential pool.

I of course define stg with stgtype=directory (stg_dir) and after it define 
stgpooldirectory

Anybody know a way to move old stg to new stg with stgtype=directory  

Regards 

Robert

I believe you can "move data" data into the container pools, you just can't get 
the data out with traditional methods at the moment but only via TSM node 
replication.
I like the new pool type but they are only suitable to a specific type of 
setup, the good news is that this setup covers a lot of the new type of TSM 
deployments we are doing!

Version 7.1.3

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello All

I wonder if people  , already upgrade to version 7.1.3 and have comments , 
appreciation …. I understand that it’s a new big concept as STG container for 
inline dedup.

Anyone use it ? and can share remarks !

T.I.A Robert

very low dedup percent on TDP for SAP archives

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

We had to move our clients with TDP for SAP oracle 6.2.1 from our Data Domain 
to a new storage V7000 with RTC.

This Storage V7000_1 is configure with dedup and only from the server side

Our policy looks like:

1.Once a week the SAP is DOWN OFFLINE and an ARCHIVE for The fs is taken (fie 
level)
2..Every day there is a FULL backup of TDP for SAP
3..Monthly is ALSO a Full TDP for SAP

4..All SAP clients ( TDP and F.S) are backup to the same storage pool V7000_1

In dsmverv.opt we have the configuration:

numopenvolsallowed 200

DedupTier2FileSize100

DedupTier3FileSize400

ServerDedupTxnLimit   2000



Our devclass looks like:



tsm: ADSM2>q devc fileclassv7000



Device  Device  Storage Device  
Format   Est/Max  Mount

Class  Access  PoolType 
Capacity  Limit

Name   Strategy   Count 
  (MB)

--- ---  
-   --    --

FILECLASSV7000   Sequential   2   FILE  
 DRIVE  51,200.04,096



I saw a new parameter on register node call: (Leave it at default  YES)


Split Large Objects: Yes  (default)

My problem after a lot of full archives got a very LOW dedup percent. Here an 
output of a script

tsm: ADSM2>run dedupreport

Stgpool on Adsm2 serverREPORTING_MB before Dedup in GB  
 LOGICAL_MB after Dedup in GB   Saved space in GB

22079.84
   1605.52

Our SAP clients are configured in utl files with:

MULTIPLEXING  1
RC_COMPRESSION   NO

>From the TSM server all clients are with:  Compression: No

Any ideas ? Maybe missed something ?

Hello Robert,

As your storage pools are configured for deduplication, you have to choose the 
reporting_mb column (and not logical_mb) in order to have the same statistics 
with Q OCC ans SELECT FROM OCCUPANCY.

H I to all

I wanted to know for a specific nodename the amount of data backup on a 
specific stgpool

Here the script:

tsm: ADSM2>select sum(logical_mb) / 1024 as "Capacity of Data" from occupancy 
where node_name='MNHL2_CLUSTER' and stgpool_name='V7000_2'

  Capacity of Data
--
745.50

But when done the query:  q   occ mnhl2_clusterI got a different 
summary !

As you see much more data on storage V7000_2 ?

I run too before a audit license

Re: Different management class

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Karel

I think I found the solution, to change on the backup copy group on the 
management class  mgtest1 the copy mode to absolute.

Run an incremental backup  , the pst will be rebound and store to the correct 
storage pool and put back the copy mode to modified

Best Regards

Robert

Different management class

[Robert Ouzen]

I to all

I try to figure a scenario to change a backup for a client that only pst files 
to go to another storage
I created a new management class and different copygroup destination for pst 
files call:  mgtest1


? For all files   management mgtest (default)   go to TSMSTG1 storage

? For pst files management mgtest1   go to TSMSTG2 storage

?
Here the copygroup output:

Run an incremental backup with the new include pst statement:

Dedup question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello All

I have now in my TSM environment  few storages with  deduplication ON. The 
deduplication is  done on the server side by identity and reclamation process/

In my organization we have lot of data types as word, excel, PowerPoint ,text 
file , pst  etc etc …. Also audio , video …

Lot of TDP’s as for Sap , Oracle , Sql , Exchange , VE and lots of O.S as AIX , 
Linux, Windows , Mac.

The default in dsmserv.opt is for those parameters:


ÞDeduptier2Filesize  100

ÞDeduptier3Filesize  400
I got suggestion to change it to:


ÞDeduptier2Filesize  200

ÞDeduptier3Filesize  1000
I wonder if anybody have experience with dedup and those parameters ?

Any other suggestion will be welcome.

Best Regards

Robert Ouzen

Re: archivelog question

If your only goal is to increase the log, you can just grow the file system, no 
fuzz. DB2 will instantly recognize the new size and use it.

archivelog question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello all
I want to increase my ARCHIVELOG and here the procedure I got from 
documentation.
I only wondered why step 4 is before step 5 ?

Moving only the archive log
You can move only the archive log from one directory to another.
1. Halt the server.
2. Create an archive log directory by issuing the following command:
[AIX operating systems][HP-UX operating systems][Linux operating 
systems][Oracle Solaris operating systems]
mkdir /archivelog2
[Windows operating systems]
mkdir q:\tsm\archivelog
3. Update the dsmserv.opt option file for the new archive log directory by 
issuing the following command:
[AIX operating systems][HP-UX operating systems][Linux operating 
systems][Oracle Solaris operating systems]
archlogdirectory /archivelog2
[Windows operating systems]
archlogdirectory q:\tsm\archivelog
4. Restart the server.
5. Move the archive logs from the old directory to the new directory. 
Preserve any subdirectory structure. Use and verify a recursive copy directory 
command. For example:

[AIX operating systems][HP-UX operating systems][Linux operating 
systems][Oracle Solaris operating systems]
cp -r /archivelog/*   /archivelog2

[Windows operating systems]
xcopy /s k:\tsm\archivelog\*   q:\tsm\archivelog
6.   Optional: Remove the old directory.

HALT process

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello all

On one of my TSM server 7.1.1.200 Windows2008R2 64B , after HALTING the server, 
I see after a few seconds that I cannot reach it anymore --- O.K

But the service TSM SERVER1 take a very long time to STOP !

I suppose is a process to shut down the DB2 , but why so long ?

Any idea what to check or improve ?

Hi Robert
Did you try to repair data/volumes in that old storage pool (even with audit 
vol  fix=yes if you don't care about that data ) ? After fixing try to run move 
nodedata agian.

ps. I guess you want rather to delete old storage pool than filespace (as 
filespace itself doest chane after move nodedata proccess and that is not error 
if its spread on more that one storage pool).

Kind regards

RTC on DB SSD disks

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello all

We are in process installing a new Storage V7000 from IBM in our organization.

Coming with the feature RTC ( Real time compression) , I wonder if for our new 
SSD for TSM DB , I can enable RTC on those Lun’s.

Any experience , suggestions ???  Will be appreciate …

Moving DB , LOG , ARCHLOG

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello

I am in stage of moving my DB , Activelog and Archivelog from old storage to 
faster storage,   DB on SSD disks

I am wonder if I can do it in one step, meaning:


1.   Creating new volumes for DB on SSD lists, create a list on dbdir.file

2.   Create a new volume of 150G for  activelogas:  X:\tsmactlog

3.   Create a new volume of 400G for archivelog  as:  Y:\tsmarchlog

4.   On dsmserv.opt update those entries as:  ACTIVELOGDirectory
X:\tsmactlog


 ARCHLOGDirectory   Y:\tsmarchlog

5.   Run a full backup DB

6.   Halt the server

7.   Run dsmserv removedb  TSMDB1

8.   Run dsmserv restore DB todate=today on=dbdir.file

9.   Restart the server

10.   Move the archivelog from the old directory to the new directory as:

Xcopy /s  OLDDIRECTORY\*  Y:\tsmarchlog



Or need to do it in 3 steps ? (meaning 3 halt of server)



1.   ACTIVELOG  change in dsmserv.opt  , halt server and restart server

2.   ARCHIVELOG  change in dsmser.opt , halt server and restart server

3.   DB , backupdb  ,halt server , restore DB on=dbfile , restart server

You are completely correct -mode=incremental works only on a restore of:

NO on an -imagetofile !

Hi Erwann,

I should have read the entire discussion before replying to you question.

Erwann is right, the -imagetofile option can restore only a full image backup.

A full image backup is a block by block copy of your disk partition.  An 
incremental image backup is a file backup of the files that had changed since 
the last full image backup.

When you ask to restore an image backup with the -incremental option, the TSM 
client starts by restoring the full image backup and after that it apply the 
changes needed by the subsequent incremental backups.

When you ask to restore an image backup to a file, TSM cannot reconstruct a new 
image from an image from a full image backup and files from subsequent 
incremental backups.  That would be too much complicated.

Regards,

Paul-André

השב: [ADSM-L] Backup and restore question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Erwann

I am really lost..
As sent in my previus message , in the test I did.After an backup image (fulll)
made a change on one file.
And run a backup image F: -mode=incremental
And so in the stat that only one file was backup !
So the option -mode=in remental is valid and respected
the problem after it when run ing a restore backup image got the source file 
and not the changed file.

Hi Robert,

I think that -incremental and –deletefiles are not available (or ignored) with 
-imagetofile. It makes sense since -incremental would lead to a file restore 
whereas -imagetofile leads to a bloc restore.

You should note that –deletefiles is not availbale (or ignored) if your backup 
has been done like you do : backup image F: -mode=incremental

Robert,

You cannot perform a normal incremental once you have performed a full image, 
unless you have two separate nodes, one doing image backups and one doing file 
by file backups.  You can do incremental image backups but not an file by file 
incremental.

Hello Erwann

I admit I am quite lost .

I run a regular incremental backup on disk F:   (first time , so like full 
backup)

As:   INC  F:  -su=yes

I run a full image backup of F: as:   backup image F:

But if I run after a backup image with  -mode=incremental got error:

tsm> backup image f:  -mode=incremental
ANS1813E Image Backup processing of '\\nasw\f$' finished with failures.

ANS1229E MODE=INCREMENTAL is not valid on 
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy17. Image backup not processed.

I erased everything an made a test without doing a regular incremental backup 
of disk F as shown below:

tsm> backup image F:

Of course NO data in the -mode=incremental but NO error 

What is the correct sequence to have combination of regular incremental backup

Hello Robert,

The –deletefiles flag won't be an option if you don't run regular incremental 
backup which is able to mark deleted files as inactive.

The -mode=incremental flag uses incremental by date method that does not, so 
TSM DB is not aware of file deletion.

Hello Robert,

Backup image is a full image done at block level. When specifiying 
mode=incremental, il a file level incremental that is done : only files having 
a modified date later than the previous backup image are backed up.

The -deletefiles flag when restoring an image backup is only to be used when 
backup of the same volume is done twice : block level (image backup) and file 
level (regular forever incremental).

See this excellent presentation (from slide 28) :

Backup image is a full image done at block level. When specifiying 
mode=incremental, il a file level incremental that is done : only files having 
a modified date later than the previous backup image are backed up.

The -deletefiles flag when restoring an image backup is only to be used when 
backup of the same volume is done twice : block level (image backup) and file 
level (regular forever incremental).

See this excellent presentation (from slide 28) :

Hi to all

Question for people using BACKUP AND RESTORE IMAGE

I have a Windows client  with millions of files and I am thinking of using 
backup image on it.

Some questions ,  after the first backup image of disk E:  (full Image) as :  
backup image E:

In the documentation I can use after it and incremental backup image as:  
backup image E:   -mode=incrementalCORRECT ?

Of course the content of disk E: will change, files will be added and deleted.

So the correct syntax for restoring the image will be:Restore image  E:   
X:   -incremental–deletefiles

Any advice will be appreciate

Mountpoints configuration

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

I have a question about using mountpoints drive instead of specific drives for 
TSM DB in Windows server environment .

For years used several letters configuring my DB space.

Meaning for 800GB DB , I configured 4 drives as:


? E:\DB01  (200GB)

? F:\DB02  (200GB)

? G:\DB03 (200GB)

? H:\DB04 (200GB)

But now I am short of letters on my Widows server , so thinking of using 
mountpoints instead as:

Adding 800GB to the Windows server with letter W:

On it doing the process of mountpoints as:


? W:\DB01

? W:\DB02

? W:\DB03

? W:\DB04

And last step doing a:dsmserv restore db todate=today on=dbdir.file

When on dbdir.file I have the list :


? W:\DB01

? W:\DB02

? W:\DB03

? W:\DB04

Anybody have experience with this kind of configuration , impact on performance 
etc etc …

Increase performance with SSD disls

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

To increase performance on my  TSM servers 7.1.1.0 , I think to install my 
databases on SSD disks.

I have some questions:


Þ Will be more efficient to put  the active log  too on the SSD disks

Þ Can I move  in the same step the database and the active log as:

o   On dsmserv.opt  change the activelogdir  to the new path for SSD disk   
(before I un the restore db)

o   dsmserv restore db todate=today on=dbdir.file(on dbdir.file the new

SET REPLRECOVERDAMAGED question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

In TSM Version 7.1.1+ there is a new feature called  SET REPLRECOVERDAMAGED

To use it need to be ON with the command:  SET REPLRECOVERDAMAGED  ON

Here the help below but don’t understand what is the default  YES or NO ?  
During a replicate node.

RECOVERDamaged--=--+-Yes--
+-No---
+-Only-

RECOVERDamaged
   Specifies whether a recovery process is started on a targetreplication 
server after the node replication process is completed.
   This parameter is optional, and it overrides any value that youspecified 
for the RECOVERDamaged parameter when you defined or  updated a node. You can 
specify one of the following values:

   Yes
  Specifies that a replication process is started to recover damaged  
files, but only if the setting for the REPLRECOVERDAMAGED system
  parameter is ON. If the setting is OFF, damaged files are not  recovered.

   No
  Specifies that damaged files are not recovered.

   Only
  Specifies that a replication process is started for the sole purpose of 
recovering damaged files, but only if the setting for
  the REPLRECOVERDAMAGED system parameter is ON. If the setting is   
OFF, damaged files are not recovered, and you receive a  notification that 
recovery was not started.

TSM VE question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi o all

I  am backing my VMware   environment with TSM for VE 7.1.1.0.  I  have two 
data movers VMPROXY and VMPROXY2 .

My configuration is as:


· CLDVCENTER

o   VMCLI

§  MYSITE_DATACENTER

· LOC_MP_WIN / LOC_MP_LNX

o   VMPROXY

o   VMPROXY2
Every time I access thru one of my data mover I see in the actlog this entry:

02/25/2015 11:30:03  ANR1639I Attributes changed for node VMCLI: TCP Name 
from   VMPROXY2 to VMPROXY, TCP Address from XXX.XX.XX.XX to

Hi Robert,
looks like you are using two TDP VMware  GUIs. For the same vCenter I would 
expect that this is only one GUI and that this single GUI instance is working 
with all your data mover nodes. 
Here is an overview of the node setup: 
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8TDQ_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.ve.doc/c_ve_overview_tsmnode.html?lang=en
For one vCenter the TDP VMware client can only work with one VMCLI node on TSM. 

When you initially set the password of that VMCLI node on one system (proxy1), 
the vmcli executable is connecting to TSM, authenticating and generating a new 
password. 
If you now connect from an other system (proxy2) using the same VMCLI node to 
TSM, it will fail. Resetting the password and connecting to TSM will result in 
a new password, which is different from the one on the previous system 
(proxy1). 

In your case it looks to me as if you should run the GUI on the first system 
(proxy1) and use the second system for the data mover, only.

Hi to all

Using TSM for VE 7.1.1 to back up our VMware environment , using for now two 
virtual proxy machine, datamover node (vmprox1 vmproxy2). I configure the 
schedulers thru TSM for VMware UI gui.

Some VM’s are scheduled thru vmproxy1 and some VM’s are scheduled thru vmproxy2 
. I tried to figure out how I can get a report to know  from which datamover 
node the scheduler (VM’S) program is , maybe script ?

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Rename aFilesystem name for a VM machine

Hello Robert,
the behavior of the TSM server was changed as we received PMRs from users not 
being able to access their VM backups after such renames. 
Thus with APAR IC92869 (
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1IC92869) the ability to 
rename file spaces of VM backups was disabled. 

What is the reason, why you rename the file space? Is the original VM disposed 
and you want to mark this deletion in the file space name by renaming it? 
So do you want to keep the file space as inactive until you finally delete it? 
In that case you may use the "FORCE=YES" option together with the rename file 
space command. This will bring back the old behavior of the command. 

However
- once a file space is renamed it will no longer show up when you look for 
existing backups in the VE GUI
- If you want to rename the file space because the VM was renamed, you will not 
be able to access any old backup under the new name. You will have a mixture of 
accessible and inaccessible backups within one file space. 
- Once renamed you have to rename the file space back to the original name, if 
you want to access VM backups. 

I hope that helps.

Hi Rob Jose

Thank for the info

About 2. I check my dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log are in format time of 
MM-dd-

I check the file client-configuration.xml and the format there was dd-MM- . 
I change it to MM-dd- , stop and start the service but still no output !

The other information in this file are correct.

Abou3t 3. Don’t quite undertstand about zone aest of UTC , I am working at

Hi Robert
You did not miss anything, this is the purpose of the CMS.  Here are some
things for you to verify:

1. That you have errors in your log file that are 72 hours or younger
2. That the client-configuration.xml file is configured correctly. The
things to verify are the node, tsmServer, port, logPath, and dateTimeFormat
(this one is very important, make sure it matches the date time format that
the error log has).
3.  There is a known defect where CMS doe not work when run from a time
zone east of UTC.  Please contact support if you have that situation and
they can get the fix to you.
4. If none of these issues work, please email me the
client-configuration.xml and error logs and I will try to debug the issue.

Tivoli Storage Manager Client Management Services feature

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello

I today installed on one of my client the “7.1.1.000-TIV-TSMCMS-Windows64.exe” 
, when the installation finished I saw in the services the new service name:

« Tivoli Storage Manager Client Management Services »  in status Started an 
Automatic.

When from my Operations Center version 7.1.1.0 I load  Diagnosis  under the 
section Clients I got always:

“There are no recommendations available. For more information, see the Tivoli 
Storage Manager Documentation.”

On the below part of the window, client Logs show nothing.

Don’t quite understand the purpose , I think I missed something . I though with 
this utility I can review logs without logging to the system as with TSMmanager.

Anybody test it and advise …

AT Risk nodes in O.C 7.1.1

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

It’s a new feature in O.C call node at risk with three values:


· Default Interval

· Bypass

· Custom

I created script to isolate nodes for bypass and custom value but no success 
for Default interval.

The option parameter is ATRISK_TYPE for them are  on a select command as:


· Default internal  no value (blank)

· Bypass   0

· Custom  1

I tried all the possible combination I know but impossible to get the nodes 
with Default Interval.

Script for bypass as:  select node_name as "Bypass Nodes at Risk" from 
nodes where ATRISK_TYPE=0 order by 1

Script for custom as: select node_name as "Custom Nodes at Risk", 
ATRISK_INTERVAL as "Interval Risk in Hours" from nodes where ATRISK_TYPE=1

Tried for default but wrong output:select node_name as "Default Nodes at 
Risk" , ATRISK_INTERVAL as "Interval Risk" , ATRISK_TYPE from nodes where  
ATRISK_TYPE <> '0' or  ATRISK_TYPE <> '1'
   
select node_name as "Default Nodes at Risk" , ATRISK_INTERVAL as "Interval Risk 
i" , ATRISK_TYPE from nodes where  ATRISK_TYPE  not like ('%%0%%') or 
ATRISK_TYPE not like ('%%1%%')

Exchange DAG question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

I have an environment for my Exchange as:


· 2 servers with exchange 2010

· O.S Windows 2008R2 64B

· TSM client version  7.1.1

· TSM TDP for exchange version  7.1.0

· TSM server version 7.1.1

I backup those exchange server with DAG configuration  ( only one filesystem) 
with the configuration of proxy as:

Target Node Agent Node
--- -
EXCHSRVAN_DBEXCHSRVA
EXCHSRVBN_DBEXCHSRVB
DAG_EXCHANGEEXCHSRVA EXCHSRVAN_DB EXCHSRVB EXCHSRVBN_DB

All the databases’ are configure on each server as half active and passive and 
vice versa.

I run every day 3 logs backups and one a week a full backup for each server 
with those commands:

Logs:

start /B tdpexcc backup * incr /MIN=60  /EXCLUDEDAGPASsive /SKIPINTEGRITYCHECK 
/tsmoptfile=dsm.opt  /DAGNODE=DAG_EXCHANGE  /logfile=excsch.log >> excincr.log

Full:

start /B tdpexcc backup * full /MIN=60 /EXCLUDEDAGPASsive /SKIPINTEGRITYCHECK 
/tsmoptfile=dsm.opt  /DAGNODE=DAG_EXCHANGE   /logfile=excsch.log >> excfull.log


I understand via documentation that  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.



So if one or more of my DB log  got full I need first to increase the space on 
each server  and only after it to run a log or full backup of this specific DB  
to clean the logs?



It’s a parameter /PREFERDAGPAS that I don’t quite understand the purpose and if 
I need it on the commands ? Any other suggestions will be appreciate too.



Best Regards

TSM Replication 7.1.1 question about environment.

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

I am in phase of running TSM for Replication for my two backup servers, both of 
them in version 7.1.1 with O.S Windows2008R2 64B  E5530 @ 2.40GHz (2 Processors)

When I tested it,  my replicate server was to a Windows2008R2 64bB with 64GB 
memory.

Now for production I am wondering what will be the correct environment to do it 
, your input guys who are already doing it will be really appreciate.

O.S using ? How many core ? Memory ? etc etc ….

Only critical nodes at stage one will be replicate using different policies as 
version 7.1.1 allow it.

T.I.A and best regards

You need to be on the machine where the vSphere web client software is 
installed, not where DP for VMWare is installed (unless you put it on the same 
machine, which does not seem to be the case.)

If you cannot find the directory, you are looking on the wrong machine.

Also, I left log directory out of the path, i.e. log is in

C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client\serviceability\logs

Hi Del


Didn't find the directory   C:\ProgramData/Vmware/vSphere Web Client/

Did a search for   vsphere_client_virgo.log   without success

But what is strange a login to my other Data Mover (for another VCENTER) where

And there to I didn't find the folder  C:\ProgramData/Vmware/vSphere Web Client/

Hi Robert,





Since registered, we need to determine why the web client is not using the 
package. The check procedure is as follows:



1. If the web client is successful in retrieving the DPE zip file,

   the resulting location is:



- Windows:

 C:\ProgramData/Vmware/vSphere Web 
Client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity



- Linux

/var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity







2. If the package is not installed, use the web client log file

   to troubleshoot:



- Windows

 C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web 
Client\serviceability\vsphere_client_virgo.log



- Linux

 /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log



   In the Virgo log, it is useful to look for references to the GUI hostname.





If this doesn't reveal anything, let's get a PMR opened.

Re: Vsphere Web Client again

Hi Del



First thanks for this information 



I am talking about IBM Data Protection I got in the vSphere Web login with two 
tabs "Getting Started" and "Connections".



I only got it on one of my Vcenter in the other one I don't see  it.



About section 3 in your message. I tries to run the setup again , run the 
modify option but still cannot rich the option to check the "vSphere Web Client 
 Plug in"



Did I need to uninstall and re-install ?



I read the paper in the link  and  I do some investigation under  the "VMware 
Managed Object Browser (MOB)"  .



The results:



I login to the MOB and under content -- Extension Manager  I see the key  
com.ibm.tsm.tdpvmware.IBMDataProtection



I look at client and see:  
"https://XX.haifa.edu:9081/TsmVMwareUI/plugin/IBMRecovery.zip";(X is 
my correct DataMover node)



I check to the file IBMRecovery.zip   is present  under folder :



c:\IBM\tivoli\tsm\tdpvmware\webserver\usr\servers\veProfile\apps\tsmVmGUI.war\plugin\IBM



I check to the file:  config.xml  seems OK



But still No IBM Data Protection tag in my vSphere Web client

Hi Robert,



When you say "plug-in" - are you talking about the icon that shows up under 
"Classic Solutions" in the vSphere Web Client, or the new IBM Data Protection 
GUI that some people still call a "plug-in."



In case you are talking about IBM Data Protection GUI...the basic things to 
check for are:



1) vSphere Web Client is running at build level 5.5. Update 1 or higher.



2) The IBM Data Protection GUI is registered in the vCenter being managed

   by the vSphere Web Client.  The registration keys are discussed on page

12

   of the 7.1.1 Data Protection for VMware User's Guide.



http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8TDQ_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.ve.doc/c_ve_gui_extensions.html

   You should use the vSphere Managed Object Browser on the vCenter to

   check if the keys are present.



3) If the keys are not present, then issue occurred at install, and should 
re-install

   and make sure register extension in web client is selected when installing 
the GUI.

   If the keys are present, then likely a connectivity issue.

   For connectivity, confirm that the machine where the web client is running 
can access

   the machine where the DP for VMWare GUI software is installed - use the MOB 
to go to

   the extension content, and find the URL that is being used to reach the host 
where

   the GUI software (web server) is installed.



If you are talking about the older plugin that shows up under "Classic 
Solutions"

in the vSphere Web Client, and it shows up in a desktop client but not the web 
client, then make sure the classic plugin is enabled in the web client, by doing

following:



1) add in file webclient.properties

   in C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client



  scriptPlugin.enabled = true



2) Restart the web client service





If none of this helps, please open a PMR.





Thank you,



Del

Vsphere Web Client again

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello

Till now no answer…

I will refresh this issue. In TSM for VE version 7.1.1 on VMware 5.5 has now 3 
possibilities to restore VM’s thru


1.   TSM VE Web Gui

2.vSphere Client

3.   vSphere WEB Client  (new plug in)

I did two installations on two Vcenter , on my first one got all 3 plug in… 
working . On my second one  I only see 1 and 2.

NO plug in in my vSphere WEB client !! The product is working fine but cannot 
understand why the plug in was not install.

Rerun the upgrade but cannot rich the possibility to check the third plug in 
.Tried modify / repair  , no success.

I really don’t want to uninstall and reinstall from scratch.

Regards Robert



Hello to all

After upgrading my VMware environment to version 5.5 . I have now a possibility 
to manage my environment thru the vSphere Web client 5.5.0.

But on it I do not see the TDP for VE plug in.

Thru the regular vSphere client  , no problem …

I miss something obviously .

Any ideas ?

TSM VE 7.1.1 vShere Web Client

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello

I installed today on my TSM server Windows 2008R2 the new version 7.1.1 , 
successfully

After it  I installed on my first  proxy the TSM for VE version 7.1.1  managing 
my first Vcenter , successfully .

During the installation ask for creating the plug in for the new feature  
vSphere Web Client did it , and now see the possibility thru the vSphere Web 
Client to restore web machine.



I installed on my second proxy  the TSM for VE version 7.1.1 managing my second 
Vcenter , successfully

I did exactly the same installation as in my first proxy , but here on my 
vSphere Web Client     the name is: IBM Data 
Protection

I tried to reload the installation but on Modify / Repair I cannot reach the 
possibility to check again 

I really don’t want to remove the entire installation to get back all the 
possibilities



Can anybody know,  how can I do it without  removing / installing ,  but just 
get back the windows for installing the plug in ( in total 3:  1. vSphere 
Client  2. TSM Gui  3. vSphere Web Client)

The number 3 is the problematic .

Hi,

I noticed "#ERROR Failed to get VMguest password for datacenter HU DATACENTER." 
in your email, and this indicated that VM guest OS credential was not set in 
your environment. This step is required so that the scan operation can 
authenticate to each vm guest machine before our scan code is injected to vms. 
Currently, the administrator who installs/configures TSM DP for VMware is 
expected to define a single user/password to be used for all vms in a vCenter 
(for the purpose of scan).

There are two ways to configure the vm guest credential for a vCenter:

Method 1. from the DP for VMware GUI
Use the configuration wizard, you can find "Scan Password" under "Configuration 
Settings)

Method 2.
>From the machine where tsmcli command-line is installed, run the following
command:

vmcli -f set_password -type VMGuest -I password.txt

password.txt is an input text file with data center/user/password information.
