Subject: Comments on Server Graph or other like utilities


Hello List:

I administer a rather large TSM system in the financial industry. We are
considering the implementation of Server Graph for monitoring our multiple TSM
servers located all over the country (USA). I'm interested in any experiences
the members of this list may have with this product, good and bad. Also, are
there any other competing products that, in your experience, work better?

We are looking for a tool that we can use from a central server that provides
TSM monitoring / Alerting, as well as reporting, and analysis information.
Ultimately, we'd like to be able to turn over the day to day TSM stuff
(restores, restarting / troubleshooting hung backups and other basic tasks) to
our 24x7 operations team so we can concentrate on new TSM implementations,
performance tuning etc... We'd like a tool that will allow us to do both.
Essentially we want to automate notification of our operations team when
something goes wrong, as well as use the tool for in depth reporting and
analysis of our site. We understand we could accomplish this will a bunch of
shell or Perl scripts, but we are looking for something that's already put
together and just works. We don't have the time to reinvent the wheel here.

Our company uses OpenView and we will need to tie into this system as tightly as
possible. I understand that Server Graph claims to integrate easily with
OpenView. Do any of you have any experience with this application? If so, will
you please share your experiences?

TSM Password

2002-10-29 Thread Sean McNamara
Good Afternoon,

I have looked for an answer to this question in the TSM documentation but
could not find it.  So, I am going to ask the experts - will TSM accept
passwords (admin, client, etc.) with a combination of uppercase, lowercase,
numeric and special characters?

Thanks,

Sean

Process for re-running failed of missed backups

2002-02-07 Thread Sean McNamara

Good Morning,

I am looking for some best practices from the list on how to handle
backups that have either failed or were missed during the night.  We currently
backup 1000 nodes to four TSM servers.  Most mornings we have about 20-30
servers that have had a problem completing their backup for one reason or
another.  We currently investigate why each failure occurred and then re-run the
backup to capture changed data. It can get to be quite time consuming.  I'm
wondering what other shops do to handle these situations?  I am looking to not
only reduce the number of failure we experience each night but to may automate
the process of checking these backups and re-running them.  Thanks in advance.

Exchange Restore Problem

2002-01-10 Thread Sean McNamara

Hello All,

I am having a problem when trying to restore old Exchange Backups.  We
have built the recovery server, installed and configured Exchange 5.5, and
installed and configured TDP for Exchange V1.1.  This version was installed
because this is what was used to perform the backup.  When the GUI is started
and the Show All button is clicked, all of our full and incremental backups
appear.  We select the full backup we want to restore and the agent contacts the
TSM server, mounts the proper tape, and begins to send data.  However, as soon
as it starts to send data, the restore fails with the following error:

Exchange Event Service
Exchange Information Store Service
01/08/2002 11:36:14,RESTORE(GUI) - Database: IS, Type: Full, Size: 22G, Actual
bytes: 0, Secs: 0.00, Kb/Sec: 0.00, Exchange Server:

PJMNT11, TSM Server: PJMNT24, Status: ACN4226E -- Exchange Error: ACN3516E -- An
unknown Exchange API error has occured.

Has anyone experienced this error?  What are the possible causes?  What are the
possible solutions?  Can I use TDP V2.2 to restore these backups?  If, so how?

Thanks in advance,

2001-10-03 Thread Sean McNamara

Good Morning,


I asked this question a bit earlier in the week and did not get much of a
response.  I am simply trying to do a dsmc incr directory on a server and it
asks for a user id (interactively).  I am attempting to run this command as part
of a scheduled job and have not been able to figure out how to pass it a
return in my unix script.  Do I have to pass a return in the script or can I
set an option to avoid the user id request?



 Any ideas?

I am setting up TSM in our shop and I am learning TSM
as I go. Right now, I have set up a 100GB Disk Pool
and one Tape Pool and one Tapecopy pool for making
offsite storage copies.  My questions are:

If I am doing backups using this configuration, my
daily backups on NT, Netware, and Unix will all first
go to the disk pool and then migrate to the tape pool.
 Data on the tapes will consist of information from
all platforms, mixing together, right?  I was
uncomfortable
with this data mixing idea.  I called TSM support and
they assured me everything would be alright.  However,
If I still want to have tapes consisting of only one
platform only, are there ways to configure the system
to do that?  My purpose of doing this is to have NT,
Novell, and Unix System Administrators to handle their
own tapes.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

700 GB OPS Data Warehouse

Hello All,

We have a 700 GB data warehouse that we are attempting to get a full
backup done on.  It is running on a Netfinity 7000 running NT 4.0 SP6.  The
database is Oracle parallel server 8.0.5.2.1 running raw partition.  We are
attempting to get the backup done using RMAN and TDP for Oracle to an NT server
running TSM 3.7.2.  The full backup has been running for 18 hrs and has only
backed up approx. 60 GB.  We are painfully aware that our throughput is an issue
that needs to be addressed.

Our questions:

Is anyone else out there backing up a database that is this large and of
this or a similar configuration?

Have you been successful?  If so, how are you doing it?

Does anyone have any ideas on how we might want to handle this task?
Any and all approaches would be welcome (TSM or non-TSM).

 Subject: Re: Deleting a archive file

 In the Windows and OS/2 Backup/Archive Clients,
 you can select Delete Archive Data from the Utilities menu.
 You can then navigate and delete specific files.
 I don't know about other platforms.

  Hello,
 
   Does anyone know how you can delete a specific archive files by say
  "object_id"?
 
   Say you have two archives with the description of
   "ARCHIVE1" and "ARCHIVE2"
 
   You can run a select
 
   select object_id from archives where description='ARCHIVE1'
 
   But the delete archive is filespec specific, and I have not found a simple
  solution.
 
  Thanks for any help,

Re: Upgrading to 3.7

2000-09-08 Thread Sean McNamara

Bill,

Be careful when you uninstall HSM.  I had similar problems and when I
attempted to uninstall the HSM code I received errors saying that it could not
"unload the Space Manager kernel extension".  I then had to reboot the server in
order to remove the kernel extension.  To stop this from happening, I stopped
all ADSM daemons from running, especially the HSM ones and then ran the
uninstall.

Good Luck,

 Subject:  Upgrading to 3.7

 Hello Everyone,

 I hate to post these easy questions to the *SMers but I need the
 help from the gurus.   I am attempting to upgrade to TSM 3.7 and am
 receiving errors while doing this.   While attempting to upgrade the
 software through SMIT some of the file sets were cancelled and not installed
 on the server.   Following is the list of files that were cancelled during
 installation:

 tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix43.32bit.base
 tivoli.tsm.client.ba.aix43.32bit.common
 tivoli.tsm.client.afs.aix43.32bit
 tivoli.tsm.client.web.aix43.32bit
 tivoli.tsm.client.image.aix43.32bit
 tivoli.tsm.client.dfs.aix43.32bit

 When looking through the SMIT log it says that HSM 3.1 is installed and to
 delete this before loading these files.   Is this the right thing to do, and
 if so where are the HSM filesets that I need to delete?   Can someone please
 give me the answers to these easy questions. My brain is just fried at the
 moment.


 Thanks,

Scheduler Problems on AIX - SCHEDMODE=PROMPTED???

2000-08-09 Thread Sean McNamara

Hello All,

I upgraded my AIX TSM clients to 3.7.2.14 yesterday and now I am having
a problem with the TSM scheduler process.  The backups were missed for the 6
boxes I upgraded last night.  I arrived this morning and thought maybe I had
forgotten to restart the scheduler, but the schedulers were all running.  I
investigated by looking in the activity log and I received the following error
for all of the clients -   ANR2716E Schedule prompter was not able to contact
client client name using type 1 (IP Address 1501).  The schedule mode for these
clients was set to PROMPTED.  I switched the schedule mode to POLLING and the
scheduled backups ran.  Is there a problem with the TSM scheduler at this level?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean
