Re: Upcoming TSM server 5.1.6.1
TSM'rs, Kathy Mitton over at Tivoli, passed on this note containing essential information: *** Some customers are currently experiencing a problem when they use the Web administrative client or SQL to display information about a node. This may result in a server crash. The problem will occur whenever tcp_name and/or tcp_address are included in a request. Examples that will result in the problem include: expanding the Web administrative client to display information about a node OR select tcp_name,tcp_address from nodes OR select * from nodes This problem is being resolved with APAR PQ69516 and will be included in Patch 5.1.6.1. The work-around to avoid this problem is to issue the command line q node f=d, which is available from the server console, the administrative client, and the command line option on the Web administrative client.

Re: FAQ 04-30 from Monthly TSM FAQ January 2003

Sam Giallanza - Original Message - From: Zlatko Krastev/ACIT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 3:15 PM Subject: Re: FAQ 04-30 from Monthly TSM FAQ January 2003 -- 04-30. What's all this fuss about cleanup backupgroups? -- If you used TSM server versions 4.1.x or 4.2.1.x, you most likely -- encountered a bug in the server code that caused the system objects in -- your Windows clients' backups to not expire properly. An upgrade to -- 4.2.3.x or 5.1.5.x fixes the bug, but you have to run -- cleanup backupgroups -- to rid yourself of unwanted versions of the system objects. This subject -- has been talked to death in the mailing list; go to -- http://search.adsm.org to review the details. Beating a dead horse but I think this FAQ answer is incorrect. AFAIK the expiration bug was introduced in TSM 4.2.2.0 and ITSM v5.1.0.0 (almost sure for the former and not completely for the latter). I think Gretchen Thiele was the early bird hurt by this bug. There were statements it affects all platforms except MVS but I cannot confirm this exception. For sure the bug does not exist in TSM server v4.2.1.15. TSM versions v3.7 v4.1 (any maintenance/patch level) do not suffer from this bug. The bug affects both normal operation (growing DB and storage usage) and upgrade from v4.2 to v5.1 (upgrade errors requiring special handling). So if I can propose re-wording of the answer: 04-30. What's all this fuss about cleanup backupgroups? If you had your server upgraded to v4.2.2.0 or v5.1.0.0 and backed up Windows nodes, expiration of obsolete file versions within SYSTEM OBJECT filespace was not complete. As result TSM database and storage usage were growing enormously. Upgrade to v5.1 was also problematic. To resolve the problem new command (cleanup backupgroups) was introduced and due to some additional problems the command was further enhanced. This subject was widely discussed on the list and can be found in archives (http://search.adsm.org).

Re: Trouble with Optical Media 4GB or larger ...FLASH
* Attention: Customers running Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.1 using a TSM Server on Windows NT or Windows 2000 and writing to optical platters that have a capacity greater than 4Gb (4294967295 bytes) per side will not be able to retrieve data. This includes 5.25, dual sided 9.1 GB optical media written using HP 9100mx and Sony SMO-F561 optical drives. If you are not using 9.1 GB optical media on Windows 2000 or NT server platform, you are not affected by this problem. Immediate Action Needed: Customers should immediately stop storing data to 9.1GB optical media. To do so, use the QUERY VOLUME command specifying the STATUS=FILLING option to list volumes that are filling. For each 9.1GB volume listed, use the UPDATE VOLUME command specifying the ACCESS=READONLY option. This will allow any data currently on the media to be accessed while preventing any further writes to the volume. For 9.1GB optical volumes that are not assigned to a storage pool and are available for scratch selection, they should be removed from the library using the CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME command. This will prevent these volumes from being written to. Depending on which type of optical media is being used, WORM or re-writable (R/W) 9.1GB optical media, the symptoms of the problem may differ. Refer to the appropriate section below for a description of the problem for your particular media. 9.1GB WORM Optical Media Problem Description: Customers running TSM 5.1 and above utilizing 9.1GB optical WORM media on Windows operating systems will be affected by apar IC34980. TSM server development has identified a problem in this environment when the media is filled to or beyond 4GB's on each side. As a result, data written by TSM beyond 4GB per side will not be readable. When TSM writes data to 9.1GB WORM media, the following error is seen when attempting to write past 4 GB on the first side of the platter: ANR8302E I/O error on drive OPTDRIVE2 (opX.X.X.X) (OP=TEST_READY, Error Number=1117, CC=415, KEY=08, ASC=92, ASCQ=00,SENSE=F1.00.08.00.10.06.4C.0E.00.00.00.00.92.00.00.00.00.00.02.50.00 .00., Description=Attempted to overwrite written WORM media). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. Following the error described above, TSM will update the volume's access to READ-ONLY to prevent attempts to further write to the volume. 9.1GB Re-writable Optical Media Problem Description: Customers running TSM 5.1 and above utilizing 9.1GB optical Re-writable media on Windows operating systems will be affected by apar IC34980. TSM server development has identified a problem in this environment when the media is filled to or beyond 4GB's on each side. As a result, data written by TSM beyond 4GB per side will not be readable. When TSM writes data to 9.1GB R/W media, no errors are encountered until the media is filled beyond 4GB's per side. Once this occurs, the position of the next write is unchanged from it's current location. Subsequently, any additional attempts to write data on the media beyond 4GB's occurs on the same location of the media. TSM is unable to determine this error is occurring and goes on until the media is filled on both sides. This results in approximately 400M worth of data on each side (800MB total) that may be lost. Problem Resolution: APAR IC34980 will enable TSM to write and read data correctly beyond 4GB's per side without error. All 9.1GB optical media written by TSM must have it's data moved to other media within the storage pool. Apply the ptf once it is made available and perform the following these steps: For each 9.1GB volume affected by this error: Audit the volume using the AUDIT VOLUME FIX=NO command. This will mark any unreadable files as damaged and display the name of the damaged file. Perform a MOVE DATA command to move any undamaged files to other media within the storage pool. If backup copies were made from a storage pool other than the one containing the damaged optical media, perform the RESTORE VOLUME command to recover the damaged files. If no backup copies were made, backup or archive the files again into the TSM storage hierarchy via the TSM Backup/Archive client or TSM Client API using the appropriate application.At this point, if there are files that could not be moved, perform the DELETE VOLUME DISCARD=YES command to remove any references to the damaged files. Re-writable media can now be reused as scratch while WORM media should be removed from the library and physically discarded. The upcoming releases that contain the fix will be 5.1.5.3 and 5.1.6. This will be available shortly. I would like to thank Tivoli for releasing this information ASAP upon discovery. Sam J. Giallanza

Some concerns and some good questions were asked about the steps involved in moving to this new site. The concerns primarily have been about 'Ask Tivoli' and the need to have a simple cross product search available on IBM. If you have not visited our new site yet, all information is segmented into individual product pages. Each page is really a complete product reference for getting all available information for one product, but they don't support searching across the solutions for several Tivoli products. In response to this feedback, we have updated the home page for Tivoli support, with a new simple search bar. To give it a try, here is the URL: http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/ As you will see, this search bar will ask you to provide key words and select a topic. You can select the high level topic, like 'Systems Management' or a specific discipline within a category. This will help you do broader searches without getting records from the whole portfolio of IBM Software Products. This is really just a specific use of some significant new search engine and data base indexing enhancements IBM.com deployed 3 weeks ago. We hope you like it as this is a more accurate level of search isolation than we provided in Tivoli's support site. To help with the special questions for registration, we are providing attachments from this memo you can print off. The Lotus and Microsoft files both contain the same detail. Please review these closely. (See attached file: Registration Instructions MS.doc)(See attached file: Registration Instructions WP.lwp) If you do continue to use the www.tivoli.com/support site, you will begin to see other changes. -We will be removing the 'Ask Tivoli' feature during the month of October. -We have migrated most content to IBM Online Software Support, and are continuing to add hundreds of new items every month to the IBM site. -The extensive reference materials for the IBM Tivoli Storage products are all available from the IBM site with special references on the product specific pages. The data on Tivoli.com/support for Storage products is no longer being updated. -The Tivoli problem submission tool will be removed by November 1st, or shortly after. This is replaced by ESR on IBM Online Software Support. -Final content migrations are being addressed for the older downloads data, but new downloads are being delivered to the IBM site. -As we near the closing of the Tivoli.com/Support site, the URL's for all the key areas will be transferred through redirects to the IBM site. Thank you for all the feedback provided so far. We are very interested in your input and it continues to affect our current and future enhancement plans for your online support options! We know you placed a lot of value in the Tivoli.com/support site and have appreciated all the positive survey feedback provided in the past. We know moving to a new information layout presents some challenges, but once you've gained some familiarity, we hope you find this a better total solution. We also have a number of common links always available in the 'Left' and 'Right' navigation bars, so take a few minutes to get familiar with those options as well. They will help you shortcut your way to specific information, without needing to retrace your steps to the home page.

CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS SYSTEM OBJECT
TSM Community, I was able to obtain more detailed information regarding System Object Filespace issue and the Cleanup Backupgroups utility, compliments of Tivoli. 4.2.3 was released 10/14/2002. This official PTF level resolves issues with expiration of file groups which are typically used for SYSTEM OBJECT filespaces for Windows clients and also releases a fully functional utility CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS. Patch levels after 4.2.2.1 prior to PTF level 4.2.3.0 included interim fixes to both expiration and the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility. PTF 4.2.3 contains the complete set of fixes including some which were not released in the patch stream. The CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility was first introduced in 4.2.2.1 as part of IC32994 however it was not fully functional until 4.2.3 level of PTF. CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS will correct the TSM database by evaluating file groups on the server and deleting any file group that is not complete. An error in the server deletion processing for file groups was introduced in 4.2.2.0 which could result in file groups not being completely deleted during expiration or other server deletion activities. This partial deletion of the file group typically resulted in increased database utilization and volumes not being reclaimed or returned to scratch as appropriate. The error in the deletion processing as well as the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility is available in server level 4.2.3.0 The CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility should be run once on the server after applying the appropriate server maintenance level that contains this fix. This utility will start a background process that can be monitored with the QUERY PROCESS command. As a background process, this utility may also be cancelled using the CANCEL PROCESS command and restarted as needed to manage the time necessary for this processing to complete.

This official PTF level resolves issues with expiration of file groups which are typically used for SYSTEM OBJECT filespaces for Windows clients and also releases a fully functional utility CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS. Patch levels after 4.2.2.1 prior to PTF level 4.2.3.0 included interim fixes to both expiration and the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility. PTF 4.2.3 contains the complete set of fixes including some which were not released in the patch stream. The CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility was first introduced in 4.2.2.1 as part of IC32994 however it was not fully functional until 4.2.3 level of PTF. CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS will correct the TSM database by evaluating file groups on the server and deleting any file group that is not complete. An error in the server deletion processing for file groups was introduced in 4.2.2.0 which could result in file groups not being completely deleted during expiration or other server deletion activities. This partial deletion of the file group typically resulted in increased database utilization and volumes not being reclaimed or returned to scratch as appropriate. The error in the deletion processing as well as the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility is available in server level 4.2.3.0 The CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS utility should be run once on the server after applying the appropriate server maintenance level that contains this fix. This utility will start a background process that can be monitored with the QUERY PROCESS command. As a background process, this utility may also be cancelled using the CANCEL PROCESS command and restarted as needed to manage the time necessary for this processing to complete. This utility will report the number of file groups it evaluates and the number that were deleted because they were not complete. The deletion error that caused the incomplete deletion of file groups did NOT cause the inappropriate or incorrect deletion of data. It caused data that was supposed to be deleted to not be completely deleted from the TSM server. These fixes are also available in server patch 5.1.5.1 for the V5.1 server. Sam Giallanza Tivoli

Re: Flash: TSM 5.1 Server, Client, and Backup images
Problem Description: Backup images generated by a TSM V5.1.0 client to a TSM V5.1.0 server cannot be restored after they have been exported, then imported. Users Affected: Customers running TSM V5.1.0 clients and TSM V5.1.0 servers. Recommendation: The problem is fixed by APAR IC33533 in the next 5.1.0 TSM server PTF. Apply the PTF when it becomes available. Problem Summary: Scenario: 1) a customer generates a backup image using a TSM V5.1.0 client to a TSM V5.1.0 server 2) a server administrator performs an export which includes the backup image as data 3) the exported data is imported 4) any attempt by the client to restore the imported image will fail Notes: - export, import and successful restore is available for all other objects including images created by TSM V4 clients - export/import of V5.1.0 client backup images to TSM servers versioned less than v5.1.0 is not supported - there is no circumvention for this problem Conclusion: Information required to restore a TSM V5.1.0 backup image has been overlooked by the TSM V5.1.0 server at export time. Since the information was not exported, it is not available when the backup image is imported. As a result, the backup image cannot be restored by the client. The fix for IC33533 causes the necessary information to be exported along with the data. Thus the information will be available when the backup image is imported, allowing the client to restore the backup image successfully. APAR IC33533 has been opened for the TSM Windows Server. It contains sysroutes for all affected platforms and levels. Sam Giallanza IBM/Tivoli

We have identified a problem in this environment when the configuration of the HBA specifies too small of a value for the MAXIMUMSGLIST parameter. As a result, the tape data written by TSM may not be recoverable. Version 8.0.8.0 of the Qlogic HBA changed the default such that the setting is too small for TSM.

We are backing up straight to tape, and all drives are available and there is plenty of scratch tapes. The Maxmountpoints is set to ( 2 ). My resourceutilization is set to ( 5 ). Also, there's nothing indicated in the activitylog. Any information would be great =) Thanks, Ron Palm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: backup/recovery
HSM is a viable option. Tivoli only has the 2 HSM clients Sun and AIX. Sam. - Original Message - From: Anderson F. Nobre [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2001 6:09 PM Subject: backup/recovery Hi, I have some doubt about how to improve the recovery time of a fileserver. I mean a fileserver with 300GB I spend 4 hour to backup. But to recover it from scratch takes about 24 hours. I was thinking in use backupsets, but in my opinion I just transfering the problem from client to server. So I would spend 24 hours to generate a backupset to this node. The reasons for the recovery is so slow compared to backup I understand that the first reason is because I always do incremental backup, the second it4s because I use multithreading on client and when I do the recovery is always one session. The other reason is the fragmentation of the files on the tape, even using colocation=yes. I4ve already created a mgmtclass to make the backup of directories on a disk stgpool. Anyone have any sugestion on how to increase the speed of restore? Regards, Anderson
Re: AW: schedule_name field in the summary table
Paul, Thanks for sharing your testing. I will look into this issue further, and promise to share my findings as well. Expect something in the next 10 days from me.

So it isn't the case.

I think I've narrowed this down to the fact that 3.1 clients fill this in and 3.7 and 4.1 clients leave it blank. This would seem to be caused by the RESOURceutilization parameter causing sub-sessions to update the summary table without a schedule_name, while the main thread, which no longer transmits the backup data, doesn't update the table. Is this correct? If so it would seem that the schedule_name field is no longer relevant unless RESOURceutilization is 1. I also have some NT clients who make two entries in the summary table for one backup. This is caused by the fact that a session is started for c$, this just saves a few files, then it carries on searching through the e$ partition this goes on for over half an hour before it finds any data to send to the server and so the original session gets an idle timeout. As soon as data is found that has changed a new session is started and a new entry in the summary table is created upon it's completion. The first record in the summary table has successful=no and the second successful=yes. This is not really desirable behaviour. It is however documented in the client book under the resourceutilization parameter: The client could produce multiple accounting records. Just thought I'd share my observations on this as it messes up our statistics gathering and may affect yours.
