Re: Automating the client install on a PC?
You can use Wise or SMS installed to automate your install. Every 6 months to a year we will upgrade and configure about 22,000 nt/2k machines 100% automatically. For new installs, you can even have the script self register to a TSM server and add itself into a schedule. There should be no reason why you can't just overwrite your current version of code with 5.1.5.2 unattended and without reboot. -T Tim Williams State Farm Insurance [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 7:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Automating the client install on a PC? Hello, I am trying to get the installation of TSM 5.1.5.2 to be totally automated. THe silent install seems to be O.K. at putting all the files on the PC. However, we are still trying to get to a point where a person does not have to visit each PC to run through the CONFIGURATION process. Can this be done? Is anyone doing it? How? Second question: If we have TSM client 5.1.0 on a PC and we want to upgrade it to 5.1.5.2 without having to visit the PC. If we do the uninstall and then the silent install we are left with the above problem. Can we just install 5.1.5.2 over the top of 5.1.0 to keep the configuration information? Matt
TDP for Exchange Vs. Goner.scr
Title: TDP for Exchange Vs. Goner.scr Hello fellow TSMers, Due to the amount of deleted e-mails the last couple days we are experiencing some Exchange problems. With the deletion of all of the viruses and when the backup executed it kicks off database zeroing. The backups time out with a communications failure. We ran into this problem with the first version of the ADSMConnect Agent and Microsoft put out a fix. We have applied this fix, but are still getting the timeouts. We've also tried increasing all the time out values to no avail. Is anybody experiencing the same problem or have any TSM suggestions other than turn off database zeroing. We are running NT 4.0 servers SP 6.0a, Exchange 5.5 SP4. We are using TDP for Exchange V 1.1.1.01. Our TSM servers are IBM 3466's running TSM V 4.1.
TDP for Domino problems with TSM server?
Title: TDP for Domino problems with TSM server? I am having a unusual problem with a TDP client and TSM server. Does anyone know of any problems with TDP for Domino and TSM servers below 4.1 ? I am upgrading a NT client that has TSM 3.7.2.18 and the TDP for Domino. After I upgrade the 3.7.2.18 version to 4.1.2.12 and kick off a TDP for domino backup of a database it crashes our TSM server. I have tested this on TSM versions of 3.7.1, 3.7.2 3.7.4. There are no error msgs in the activity log, just a connection comment. 04/13/2001 10:37:51 ANR0406I Session 50 started for node DOM_GSBS3WM (TDP Domino NT) (Tcp/Ip 10.34.98.91(1190)). 04/13/2001 10:50:33 ANR1412W Volume 034228 access mode is unavailable. 04/13/2001 10:50:33 ANR1412W Volume 034202 access mode is unavailable. 04/13/2001 10:50:33 ANR1414W Volume 034200 access mode is read-only due to previous write error. 04/13/2001 10:50:33 ANR1414W Volume 034264 access mode is read-only due to previous write error. If I backup to a TSM 4.1 client there are no problems. If I clean off the TDP for Domino client before upgrading the flatfile client, then install the TDP client I can backup to any version server.

IC28969 has nothing to do with the DST problem; it is just another APAR fix that was included in the 4.1.1.16 client.

If you are fairly current on your maintenance and are not experiencing the problem, then I wouldn't worry about it; you're fine.

We are trying to backup a database file (not one that has an agent). The database remains open at all times, but is not opened exclusive. We back it up SHAREDSTATIC. We have noticed that we very rarely back this database up and would probably not have a recent version if the user required a restore. It is not because the file changes during backup and Tivoli gives up after retries. Tivoli does not even try to back the database up. On investigation we have concluded that because the database is open all the time its attributes don't get updated and hence Tivoli concludes that it hasn't changed. Tivoli will only detect if the database has changed if the application is closed or the system rebooted! IF our assumption is correct then we are worried about how to back up such files. We can't rely on the user telling us of their existence so how do we spot them? If Tivoli isn't detecting that the file has changed then Open File Managers won't help.

APAR IC25107 "WIN32 RC = 193" error still persists if file
"program" exists in c:\, and dsmcutil install attempts to use
a path which points to "c:\program files\..."
.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
To install TSM service we use the Win32 API function
CreateService(). This function takes a pointer to a string that
contains the fully qualified path to the service binary file. If
the path contains a space, it must be quoted so that it is
correctly interpreted. If the path is not quoted and the file
"c:/program" exists then the service fails to install.
Added code to quote the path if it contains a space.

Re: unavailable or destroyed.
AH HA...I have experienced the same thing. I chased this with support and so far I've gotten a working as designed answer... My gut... you have a tape drive that may appear to be online, but it it isn't! Are you 3494 with 3590s? mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -qM (query mount...and compare this with q mount in TSM) If you have a tape mounted, then try a mtlib eject/demount mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -f/dev/rmtx -d (rmt for the 'invalid' mount). Also a visual check may help... check through your logs to see if you had a dismount failure (I think this was the start to my 3 day demise). Recycling my server cleared the problem. I recreated the problem (messages below are only one flavor) by doing a rmdev -l /dev/rmt0 AND TSM keeps this drive online. even when it tries to access it and can't. are you 3494shared yes???

Re: Lotus Notes backing up too much data
I do changingretries 0 So, yes, I don't get every file during every incremental backup FYI John Naylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/19/2000 08:59 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" [EMAIL PROTECTED]@SMTP@Exchange To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@SMTP@Exchange cc: Subject: Re: Lotus Notes backing up too much data Raymond, What is probably happening here is that you are backing up open databases. So you are getting a number of retries, hence the extra data transmitted over the network. So you have at least a couple of options. 1) Make sure the databases are not open when you back them up. 2) Use a management class with a dynamic copy serialization, so it backs up first time NB. If you use option "2" you may get a fuzzy backup, so you will need to do some testing to ensure that the backup is useable if taken when open Hope this helps John Raymond Chao [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 10/19/2000 08:14:08 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: John Naylor/HAV/SSE) Subject: Lotus Notes backing up too much data Hi *sm, We are running ADSM 3.1.2.57 on AIX on 4.3.2 Stk9710 library, dlt drive. We are in the process of migrating to *sm 3.7 Aix 4.3.3 Lotus Notes(R5) running on WinNT, scheduled to backup daily. We are not using Notes agent. The Notes backup has gradually been taking longer over the last few months. The scheduled backup continued into the afternoon. What we notice is that the drive (say e$)has about 65 G capacity and is ONLY half full. It therefore should be backing up about 30G. But NO, it is backing up about 60G. This is the case for all our Lotus Notes Servers. The Notes are using Tivoli 3.7 client version. We are seeing 2 sessions going for each Notes node that are backing up But we have checked that only one scheduler running per node. One session is idle or sending very little data. We are seeing only one session for other NT servers. Also we see the following- ANR2576W An attempt was made to update an event record for a scheduled operation which has already been executed - multiple client schedulers may be active for node CBRNOTES03. I have logged a call for Tivoli software support but any suggestions will be gladly accepted and much appreciated.

label libv causing aix errors and failing....
FYI- Add another apar to the 'credit' listargh... Sum: TSM server on aix. TSM server level v3 r7 level 3.8 3494 with 12 3590 drives (which are in use most of the time). * Scenaio: needed to label libv with search=yes and volr=xx,yy and overwrite=yes during tape drive activity... This command won't even 'work' if there are no available drives. Did issue command while there was, at the moment, an available drive or two and the command started processing. Between labeling tape '1' and tape '2' all drives became inuse (or unavailable). This brought on TSM library sequence check(s). An aix error for the lmcpd (6D errors)and failed the command 'mid-stream.' APAR has been 'cut.' FYI Thanks Tim Item IC28459 APAR Identifier ..

anr8355e messages after tsm (aix) upgrade to 3.7.3.8 (Customers using 3570 and 3590 devices on the HP, AIX, and SUN platforms.)
Sharing info. I've been 'hit' by the anr8355e messages after upgrading to 3.7.3.8. I've included the apar information below for those how may not have noticed messages appearing in their actlog.

PROBLEM SUMMARY: * USERS AFFECTED: * Customers using 3570 and 3590 devices on the HP, AIX, and SUN platforms. * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * The problem may appear intermittently depending on the operating system level. The problem only occurs after TSM reached the end-of-volume while writing data to the tape cartridge. If TSM immediately dismounts the volume, there may be an erroneous ANR8355E message while verifying the internal tape label. If TSM leaves the volume mounted and there are drive or media problems when TSM attempts to read the data, TSM may not issue an ANR8302E or ANR8311E message. * RECOMMENDATION: * Apply PTF when available. TSM better tracks error situations to avoid issuing erroneous messages and to issue messages when there are errors. Impact: Low Customer can issue AUDIT VOLUME with FIX=NO to determine if there is any problem with the media and data. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: None.

Re: TSM Server 4.1.1

Re: TSM Server 4.1.1
Checked the TSM V4.1 CD readme.srvand nothing that I could find indicates that you'll have to re-register licenses. I dug in 'books' and found a step (quickstart book) (under:Migrating to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 4.1 You can install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 4.1 over a previous version of ADSM or TSM. This is called a "migrate install". :) 7.Your licenses from the previous version are no longer valid and must be reregistered. See Registering Licenses. Note: The tivoli.tsm.license package is required to register licenses. This package is installed when you install the TSM server package. I also saw this: Note: If you migrate from ADSM, your existing licenses are no longer valid. You must update your license information. (and TSM to TSM (ie 3.7 to 4.1??) (also in the quickstart, CD based doc). to readme(s) or to read quickstart infonow have to check both?? FYI [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/14/2000 03:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@SMTP@Exchange cc: Subject: Re: TSM Server 4.1.1 This should be fully documented in the README file. The 4.1 server has a different licensing scheme than the 3.7 version of the server. The 3.7 licenses are not recognized by 4.1. You need to do the REGISTER LICENSE commands on the 4.1 server. The current architecture of the license manager is any new version will have a different license scheme than the older versions of the server. The newer version will not recognize the older licenses. My suggestion is to put all of your REGISTER LICENSE commands in a file. This way you can run that file as a macro to re-regsister licenses as needed. You will also see something in README file about performance and the size of your nodelock file if you are running NT or AIX. Before you register the licenses I recommend you delete your nodelock file to get rid of the old license strings that are no longer valid. The server will eat up CPU cycles to decode those old license strings that it will just end up ignoring because they are for an older server version.
