Re: TSM db backup delayed or hung for more than few hours

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hi Skylar

We use disk for db backup and it will finish within 30 minutes once db
backup started at db2 level for 2 tb database.

There is no errors or warnings reported during db backup and only concern
it takes more than 30 min to see db backup message in db2diag log though
tsm side backup db command issued.

We just need to ensure db backup get complete two times to clear all the
logs.

Sometime we noticed there was no db backup message in db2 diag log and db
backup process hang with 0 bytes even after  12 hours.

There is more stress for us to monitor db backup process very closely as it
may get hung anytime.

Our data fully resides on all flash disk ( db , active , archive and
directory container )

Today it took more than 90 min to initiate db backup at db2 level where as

We will monitor closely.

TSM db backup delayed or hung for more than few hours

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

V8.1.18 

We have noticed tsm backup started at tsm level but  didn’t issue any message 
to db2 and tsm level db backup appears hung 

db2 list utilities show details - No process 
db2diag.log - didn’t see any message like ( Starting an online db backup ) 

Tried to restart tsm server to clear db2 hung process but no luck and db backup 
again hung. 

Main issue here : 

When we start tsm db backup it’s not able start and archive log became full. 
Tried to increase archive log few times. 

We tried almost 3 times ( we waited more than 1 hour ) but no luck. 

we always run db backup to clear archive log so that server will up and 
running. 

Same issue observed on last week in different server and today one more server. 

We have raised PMR to check this issue. 

Did anyone face this issue in v8.1.18 ? 

We have never seen this issue earlier but noticed after upgrade to v8.1.18 


Usually when we issue db backup command it will immediately start and we will 
see tsmdbmgr sessions in tsm server.  It looks like strange issue and causing 
outage for production jobs.

Re: Hot add Transport for restore virtual machine

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Thanks Richard. Backup was working well in hotadd as VADP host resides on
same data store.

I just doubt whether hotadd transport supported for restore vm though we
place VADP host in the same data store .

We tried to enable SAN policy as Online in VADP host  but it didn’t help.

Just wondering anyone used hotadd transport for restore because when we
restore using hot add it didn’t progress anything.

OSSM Integration with SP 8.1.16

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hello Everyone,



I have tried to configure Open Snap Store Manager to integrate with SPP.
When I tried to use default TSM self signed cert then I can do the OSSM
config without any issue. However when I try to use CA signed cert then
OSSM services are not able to communicate with IBM Spectrum Protect Server
and OSSM services are not coming up. Does anyone successful configure OSSM
with CA signed cert ? Even I tried to copy the CA cert files to
/home/tsminst1/ossm/.secret/CAs/mycacert.cert.


Have tried with other TSM servers where we have imported CA cert but
encounter same issue but when I remove the cert and do the config then it
works.

If anyone come across this issue and give some light on it then would
really appreciate it.

Sarav

Command Routing Failed

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Dear Team

We have upgraded tsm server to v8.1.16 and all our automation scripts start to 
fail due to invalid password thorough correct password is provided. 

If you update sessionsecurity=transition then if we try same credential then it 
works but command routing will not work. 

If you update sessionsecurity=transition then command routing will work but if 
you try dsmadmc with correct password it will fail with invalid password and 
user id get locked 

Looks very strange.

Re: NFS Storage used as directory container storage pool

Hi Zoltan

Thanks for your inputs. We have no plan to use as File device class and may
be not good idea to use either directory container stg pool. Currently we

Thanks for the quick response. We do use block storage as per ibm blue

NFS Storage used as directory container storage pool

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Did anyone try using NFS file system as Directory container storage pool ?

is there any drawback to use such options?

we have enough bandwidth 25G to support NFS mount points and its dedicated
for backup servers.

Re: client deployment with SP 8.1.12

Hi Stefan


Do you have an existing ibm_deploy_client_import ? You can try to rename all 
old nodes and try import. I had same issue but it worked after removed previous 
imported nodes for IBM deployment.

Re: [E] Re: [ADSM-L] TSM alternatives

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hi Del 

I could see oracle SPARC support API v8.1 but BA client not released for v8.1. 
What is the purpose of releasing API support for v8.1 without BA client ?

Means no BA client backup supported but still support TDP for oracle ? TDP also 
require BA client to install. 

Please advise if you have any background.

Re: Replication Hung after upgrade to v8.1.10

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hi Eric 

We have applied efix to address APAR IT33437 instead of patch v8.1.10.100 and 
we haven’t seen any server crash after efix. However our intermittent 
replication issue case still in progress.

Hi Eric 

Thanks. I have gone through v8.1.10.100 APAR details but I don’t find my issue

Re: Replication Hung after upgrade to v8.1.10

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Thanks Erwann for the update. 

We are still facing intermittent hang and no progress on our case. If it’s one 
server then we could say it’s environment issue but 3 different pair and all 
are in different countries as well. We are holding upgrade for rest of 
countries until find out root cause. 

There is also one more issue on v8.1.10 where server will crash abruptly if you 
use directory container. It appears to be known issue and we have got efix to 
address it. 

I will keep you posted if I hear any updates on my case.

Replication Hung after upgrade to v8.1.10

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Dear Team

Is there anyone facing intermittent replication hung issue after upgrade to 
v8.1.10? 

We have upgraded TSM server from 8.1.9.300 to 8.1.10 and replication process is 
hung intermittently on all 3 servers. Just want to see whether anyone else 
impacted. 

Once restart TSM instance then replication works but again replication node 
process will get hung. But we don’t see any hung for protect stg and it works 
fine. 

We have raised case with IBM and working on it.

Replication for IBM Cleversafe nodes

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Dear Folks,

Is this recommended to run replicate node alone since it won't support
protect stgpool command for cloud container storage pool ? Did anyone try
this option for daily more than 10 Tb provided you have sufficient network
bandwidth ? When we test for 1 or 2 Tb it works well but not sure whether
it's recommended for 10 to 15 Tb ?

or

Is it recommended to use hardware level replication for IBM clever safe
nodes and perform DR scenario for offsite copy ?

Sarav

Repli server db usage is high than Primary server

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hello Experts,

What cases repl server would have more db usage than primary server. Here I go 
with one setup in similar situation.
Primary server db usage - 67% (out of 6TB)
Replication Server db usage  - 96% (out of 6TB)

repli server uses only for replication purpose, no there native backups 
configured over there.

suggestion pl.

TSM Client V7.1.6.5

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hello TSM Giants 

Is there any issues with Windows TSM Client 7.1.6.5 ? Especially on system 
state restore using WinPE CD v3.1? 

One of my client server ( windows physical server 2008. ) is down for past 4 
days and IBM had shared almost 2 efix but still issues keeps on coming one 
another. 

C drive restore  seems to be okay but system state never get completed 

I am really scared of v7.1.6.5 because more than 3000 windows severs are 
running with this version. 

Please let me know if any known issues related to systemstate if anyone 
encounter in v7.1.6.5

One of IBM security patch APAR previously forced us to upgrade both Windows and 
LInix to v7.1.6.5 but now it became night mare for me. 

Just would like to share my pain here.

NDMP Backup Problem

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Dear Experts,

I am looking for your advice on below topic.

We have NDMP backups are configured with SP Server (7.1.6). The Netapp ( v8.5 , 
7 mode) setup would be like, the remote site production filer has been syncing 
the data to DR site Filer (snapmirror).
The TSM NDMP backup is configured from DR site. The tape drives are zoned to 
NAS filer and volume backups are scheduled from TSM schedule (backup node ).

Few days before, one of Netapp vol usage was grownup to 300 % ( earlier 4 TB,  
current size - 8.6 TB and dudup is 64% so, current size is around 14 TB).

After the data increase, the specific volume's backup started to failed in all 
methods like,  full, differential and with out TOC and with TOC.   The backup 
is failing in varies stages like after the completion of 20, 40 , 50%.

Any advice ?

Regards,
Saravanan

LTO4 Tape Recovery

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Folks, 

I badly need some help 

One of the data got deleted from TSM database but tape wasn't not re-used and 
it's available in PCT reclaimable. This tape also never overwritten. 
Unfortunately I don't have TSM DB backup for the the same date. 

We need this data and can anyone tried to recover this previously. 

Does IBM have any other tool to recover such cases ?

Spectrum Protect support for I series

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Just noticed that TSM support has been withdrawn for IBM i on TSM 6.2 , Is
this confirmed and latest Spectrum Protect version doesn't support IBM i ?


With the EOS of TSM 6.2, access to TSM Servers through the TSM API on IBM i
will also reach EOS. TSM 6.2 is the *last *version of TSM that will support
IBM i. *No further versions of TSM will have API support for IBM i.*

Re: How to tell what VM's are running backup in TSM for VE 7.1?

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hi Steve, 

There will be snapshot creation message for each Virtual machine backup and 
once backup got completed then it will create another entry for snapshot 
deletion in Vcenter task log. You can use this task log to identify latest 
backup.

How to setup dedicated tape drives for storage agent

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Dear TSM Folks,

Has anybody tried this approach to enhance tape drive availability ?

Create 64 tape drives in data domain and allocate 32 tape drives only for
TSM server backup ( Lan based backup) and remaining 32 tape drives dedicate
for storage agent

Is this possible to implement this setup ?

I really had concern because storage agent definitely need tape drive
should be defined and path must be online in TSM server before defining
path for storage agent.

Will it work if turn off tape drive path in TSM server and only turn on
corresponding path for storage agent ? I never tried this approach and has
anybody got real time experience on this setup?

TSM server 6.3.1 backup sessions hung

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Dear Team,

We have strange issue in our environment. We are facing this issue after
upgraded TSM server from 6.1.3 to 6.3.1.

Around 8 PM( Regular backpus will start by 6 PM) all the backups sessions
are hanging and we don't see any backup progress. First time we thought it
might complete in some time unfortunatly it took more than 14 hours just
for 10 GB of data and it never completes. We have restarted the TSM server
and the same backup was completed with in 14 minutes. This issue is
intermittent( 3 days once and 4 days once). If we restart the TSM sever
then everything is working as desired.


When we investigate from DB2 end, we don't see any db2 table maintaince
utilities (i.e runstats, reorg) running in the server. Also we are able to
login into the TSM server and check the backup status. We don't have any
clue to identify the issue.

I would really appriciate if somebody shares any idea for this issue.

SAP BR Offline backup is very slow

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Dear Team,

I am facing very strange issue in my environment and i would desperatly
looking for some help.

We have recently applied below AIX patch on SAP servers and it cause the BR
Offline backup to pretty slow.

Vulnerability in LDAP Authentication
JRE hangs when converting Java
Multiple vulnerabilities in AIX BIND
Sudo format string vulnerability
Vulnerability in ICMP packet handling
TCP network packet denial of service

AIX: 6100-06-05-1115
TSM server : 5.5.6.1
Storage Agent Version: 5.5.6.0
TDP for R3 : 5.5.0.0
TSM BA Client : 5.5.3.4

BR Online backup running fine( both LAN and LAN-Free backup)
BR Offline backup running fine only in LAN based backup but in LAN-Free
backup it's very slow.
While BR Offline backup runs, i have tested some file level backup over the
storage agent and backup throughput was really good.( Transfered 22 GB of
data and it took only 4 min)

We have applied the AIX patches on 4 servers( 3 SAP Oracle, 1 Oracle) and
all the four servers the BR Offline backups are running very slowly. I have
raised the PMR but they are not ready to help at this moment( due to
performance issue)

Here is the one piece transfer speed.

Re: Multiple restore session fails in TSM5.3 on AIX5.5

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

You need to cancel the existing restore then only it will allow you to
perform any further restore.

dsmc q restore

dsmc can restore

use these commands

Re: TSM 6.3

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hi Johnny,

When you install TSM 6.3, it will install the TSM API 6.2.2 by
default and your server will work as desired.

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&q1=TSM+known+issues&q2=TSM+6.3&uid=swg21568281&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en

You can remove the old API and install the latest one 6.3.

Passthough disk attached hyper-v machine backup

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

Hi,

Will TSM support passthough disk attached Hyper-v Guest Machine backup?

I have one Hyper-v Guest machine and it has physical disk( Storage
disk) directly attached to the guest machine. The Symantec Backup Exec 2010
R3 doesn't support this kind of backup so i would be checking the
possibility from TSM end.

Re: AW: [ADSM-L] Rman not deleting old backups

[Saravanan Palanisamy]

You can run "crosscheck" command in RMAN prompt and see whether all the old
objects are able to identified or not. If not reported in "report obsolete"
after running "crosscheck" then create the new node and retain the old node
until it meets retention and remove the old node from TSM server.

 Also check what kind of files(i.e backup pieces, archive logs & control
files) are not expired and are they appearing in "report obsolete" output.

select
Node_name,FILESPACE_NAME,BACKUP_DATE,DEACTIVATE_DATE,CLASS_NAME,STATE,TYPE,HL_NAME,LL_NAME
from backups where BACKUP_DATE BETWEEN '2010-04-01 00:00:00.00' and
'2010-04-07 23:59:59.00' and node_name in('nodename')
