Re: Tapes unaccounted for???
Farren, I've seen this happen before when the TSM DB tapes get out of sync with DRM. Basically, what we do, is once a quarter we perform an audit. We get a list from the offsite vendor and compare it to the output from q drm. Any tapes that are on the offsite vendor's list and not on the q drm list can be brought back and used as scratch tapes. What you might want to check is the DBBACKUP expiration period under q drmstatus and see how long the TSM DB backup tapes are being kept. Ideally, if you are doing offsite, you want DRM to control when your DB tapes expire instead of using the del volh t=dbbb command. Hope this helps out. Sean English
Re: Backup stgpool
Andrew, You can use the maxpr=number option with the backup stgpool command. i.e.: backup stgpool primarypool copypool maxpr=2 <---If you are backing up a tape pool, this will use 4 tape drives...if its a disk pool, it will use only 2 tape drives. Sean English
Re: 95% missed backups last night ( found the problem but what is the easy fix)
Geoff, Was the server name changed by mistake on the TSM server side? We did this once before when we migrated a TSM server to another server and we found out the hard way that on the Windows side, not sure on AIX, the password is stored in the registry based on the TSM server name and all our Windows backups failed.

Re: Data Migration 3581 -> 3583
Bruno, I did this same thing about 6 months ago. The only difference was we are on AIX. We just hooked both libraries to the TSM server, created a new devclass, library, tape storage pool, etc, for the new 3583 library and than ran move data on all the old LTO1 tapes. Pretty straight forward process. Just a little time consuming if you have a whole bunch of tapes.

It intends to adquire a 3583-L72 (LTO 2). Its TSM server (5.2.2) is running on a Windows 2k server xSeries 232. I gues it's possible to connect the two libraries to the TSM server (there are sufficient interfaces). My questions are: - Which is the best way to migrate (move) the data from the old 3581 (LTO1) library volumes to the new 3583-L72 (LTO 2) volumes? On the top of my reduced knowledge, I guess that a simple MOVE DATA, followed by some COPY GROUP changes will solve this problem. - If it uses the old LTO 1 cartridges on the new 3583 library (I know it's not interesting), is there a way to make the migration easier?

Re: restoration of backup copypool volumes?
Justin, The way that you can go about recreating copypool volumes is very simple as long as the primary volumes still exist. What you can do is mark the copypool volume as destroyed. Then, run a backup storage pool of the primary storage pool that the copy volume was apart of. Example: Primary Stg Pool: StgPoolA; contains volume called "A" Copy Stg Pool: CopyofStgPoolA; contains copy of volume A called CopyA Mark "CopyA" destroyed. Run a backup storage pool process on StgPoolA, and the TSM DB will see that volume CopyA has been destroyed and will recreate the copypool volume that has been marked destroyed from the primary volume called "A". Hope this helps and I didn't confuse you to much :-) Regards, Sean Sean M. English You can't change the wind, but you can adjust the sails.
Re: upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2
The only thing to be wary of when going to TSM 4.2, is the issue of having a double zero string in the password file. TSM 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 can not read the password file if the file contains this double zero string. We recently upgraded to TSM 4.2.1.25 and had major problems with passwords. After a call to support, we figured out that the password we were using was generating a double zero string. The password we were trying to use was 10 characters in length...they suggested not making the password over 6 characters in length. This reduces the chances of having a double zero string in the password file. Also, you will want to look at updating the password manually for your clients. When password access is set to generate, and a new password is generated, you may run into the above mentioned problem. According to support, this problem should be fixed in TSM 4.2.2 and TSM 5.1.

TDP for Informix
*SMer's, Last night we were attempting to upgrade an AIX 4.3.3 client from TSM 4.1.2 to TSM 4.2.1.25. The install went fine, everything was installed correctly. However, when we went to test a log backup from Informix, the node name that the Informix data backs up under would always get locked out of the TSM server because of an Invalid Password error. We sync'd up the passwords between TDP for Informix and the TSM server fine, but it was like Informix could not read the password file that was generated. We opened up the directory and password file to 777 just in case the permission bits might be the culprit. That did not work either. I did notice that in 4.2.1.x, the name of the password file has been changed to TSM.PWD. My question is, do I need to be at a later level of TDP for Informix when I upgrade to TSM 4.2.1.x? Environment: Client: AIX 4.3.3, TDP for Informix 4.1.0, current client level is 4.1.2 and everything works. trying to go to 4.2.1.25 and TDP does not work Server: AIX 4.3.3, running TSM 4.2.1.11 Any thoughts on what might be happening?

Why not just send a copy to the forum? I think it would be pretty useful information. :-) Regards, Sean M.

Re: DRM-Is there an easy way to learn DRM?
Ken, Go take a look at the TSM Administrators Guide. There is a section just on DRM and what you need to do to set it up. Regards, Sean M.

SMer's I know DRM is complicated and has a whole 4 day class devoted to it. We have the DRM module but have never implemented it because no one knows what to do with it without going to the class. With that said, is there some DRM manual that I could read and get the basics of setup for DRM without going to the DRM class? or, Would I just make things worse by trying to setup DRM without the class?

Re: RMAN question??
Terry, Thanks for your help. One more question, what kind of backup times are you seeing and what kind of network are you using? I was just wondering if the network was a dedicated network for your Oracle clients and are other backups going on at the same time? Once again, thanks for your help. Regards, Sean M.

Hi Sean - We have various RMAN clients using anywhere from 1 to 4 channels - we do not have collocation turned on, because of problems such as you mentioned. To increase our times, we turned off collocation and increased channels where necessary. I am not sure how much your clients back up - but ours back up anywhere from 100gig to 250 gig at night and do archives during the day. In either case, if you do opt to keep collocation turned on, the answer to your question is yes, it will wait for the media and then start writing the data as it would if it was not waiting. We have had this situation one time when we did not realize that the tape pool got low. However, we have found that RMAN work more efficiently when collocation is turned off and multiple channels are ran and restore speed was not effected.

I have a question about a client that is using RMAN to backup there Oracle databse to TSM. TSM Server: 3.7.3.6 on AIX 4.3.2 We recently changed the backup method for the Oracle databases from going to disk to going directly to tape. We created a unique nodename for each of the Oracle DB servers. These servers are in there own domain. When we first tested this, we saw great results (in terms of speed) to backup the Oracle DB. However, now when the servers run their backups each night, they are in a constant Receive Wait and the time to back them up as actually increased. Currently they are allocating one channel for each backup. The reasoning behind one channel was that anything other than 1 channel (i.e. 2 channels) the other one would be in a media wait because of colocation. My question is, has anyone else seen where a backup like this was in a constant receive wait when using only on channel? I have a thought, but I am not 100% sure if it would solve my problem because I am not 100% sure on how RMAN groups its data. My thought is if you run 2 channels, one will be running and the other waiting. However, will that second channel already have the data grouped together and ready to transfer when the other one gets finished? Let me know if anyone else has seen this. If I need to provide more infomation, let me know. Thanks for the help. Regards, Sean M.
