TSM on Linux for zSeries w/ 3494
Hi all I apologize if this question has been asked already. I have installed SuSE SLES 8 and TSM Server 5.2 on a MP3K H30 with a 3494 Library attached. Next Step is to define the 3494 Library to TSM. The only way (as far as I found out) to connect the Library is via TCP/IP or a serial (tty) device. But the drives in the 3494 are ESCON attached. Has anyone done this already, and is there another way to this without a TCP/IP connection from Linux/390 to the 3494? Thanks in advance for helping me in this issue.

Schedule not working
Hello, I have a schedule that was working fine and a few days ago i get the same result: failed. In the event viewer of the node i see the following error: The library file dsmcperf.dll specified for the TSM Client Performance service could not be opened. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code is data DWORD 0. Does anybody know how to fix it? Thanks a lot in advance, Wagner Garcia Campagner.
Web interface too slow
Hello, I'm using TSM 4.1.5 and a few days ago the web interface became too slow... When i use it on the TSM Server it is fine... but when i use it from a remote computer it become too slow... Has anyone seen it before? Thanks in advance, Wagner Garcia Campagner.
Backup ideas
Hello, I've got TSM 4.1.5 running and an Autoloader Sony AIT-2. The autoloader always loses connection with the server... sometimes i reboot the machine and it finds a new hardware... So now i'm using only the disk. I created a 50.000MB disk storage pool and it is now working fine... All the schedules are ok... and now i've got 34% of utilization of the disk... There is only one schedule that is not runing... it is a domino backup with almost 60.000MB of data... i think the disk will not support this data even with compression... maybe i can increase the disk up to 60.000MB... i still got 17.000MB of free space on the disk... Now, i've configured the autoloader again but don't know when it'll crash again... Does anybody have any idea to include the domino schedule?? Maybe if i move the data from the disk to the tapes and then do the schedules, but i don't know if it is possible... Thanks in advance, Wagner Garcia Campagner.

TSM and backint success stories
Has anyone had any success backing up SAP R3 online tablespaces to a TSM server using backint versus Data Protection? I haven't seen definitive answers as to whether backint will still work (i.e.a supported configuration). I'd hate to think that TDP for SAP is the only way to run online backups of an SAP ORACLE database. We are going to upgrade (finally) from ADSM Server 3.1.20 to TSM 4.1, and we'd like to keep our backint product, especially given the hefty price tag of the TDP option. I'd appreciate any success stories that anyone knows about. I searched the archives, but didn't see anything recent there. Thanks. --k
Re: MSCS and firewalls
Joel, we backup 3 Windows boxes through a firewall but no MSCS. What we did is start a backup (manually or scheduled) and check at the firewall which packets were dropped. This way we found which ports needed to be accepted. We needed several test runs until we found all affected ports. HTH Reinhold Joel Cooper schrieb: I have a situation that I'm having a problem with. I wanted to see if anyone knows the quick answer. This message is long, so thanks to anyone that reads it and even more to anyone that has an idea. First, ADSM didn't used to be supported through a firewall even though it would work in many situations. I don't know in this day and age if that non-support is still official. If it is, I really feel it needs to be changed because in this age of the Internet, I am having web server TSM clients added like you wouldn't believe. If the problem is the client opening up additional ports and not being able to predict the random port it will use, why not have an option file setting to set valid ports for the client to try? Even if Tivoli won't "support firewalls", at least give us some functionality where we can do our jobs. I've got a few million dollars worth of servers outside firewalls and they haven't quit ordering them. So far, we've been backing up about 2 or 3 dozen b/a clients and a few SQL agents for awhile through a firewall. To accomplish this, we've been having our Security department implement firewall rules that allow bi-directional TCP/IP traffic on 1500 and 1501. No problems. My situation is this: I just setup 2 Windows 2000 based cluster server (MSCS) outside a firewall, one for SQL 7.0 and one for Exchange 2000. According to TSM v4 instructions, I need a client for the Windows nodes that could run the cluster and I need a client for each cluster group, in my case a group for the quorum and a group for Exchange 2000. With Exchange 2000, I also need the TDP for Exchange v2. I have these clients all installed and they all work manually. My problem is with the scheduler service. The first service to run on 1500 works; the subsequent services never answer the server. According to the error logs, they found the TCP/IP port busy and picked another at random. It appears they picked 56582 and then 56583, etc. I made each service work on 1500 by itself, but I need them to run together. I thought the answer was in TCPPort in dsm.opt. I got them to open ports 1500 - 1505 and put each client on its own port. The firewall part works, showing a session going through w/o a problem. I am getting ANS1017 Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure, though. I am not sure why. I'm not getting activity log errors for this on my last test. Does anyone have any ideas? Is this because my server has the option to be contacted on TCPPort 1500? I don't want to use the Windows scheduler to handle this, but I have to cover these servers. I don't see what a support call will accomplish yet, but if I get a little more information I'm willing to try to get some answers.

Re: Long Term Archive for Databases
Jim, we have this discussion nearly every year. We all know that we need not only the backup of the database, but also the appropriate DBM version plus Operating system, hardware and application software. We have to keep our inventory data for 15 years! I have more than 10 years old half inch tape reels from our mainframe time. Today i don't have any mainframe, not any version of the operating system or application software and i dont't know anybody who would be able to read a 1/2 inch tape reel! And - more important - there is nobody in our company who knows the data and would be able to work with them! Our solution is to migrate the data to an optical archive. So the supplier of the archive is responsible that the data can be read and interpreted for such a long time. Despite that we are forced to keep 1 backup of our SAP database per year. Nonsense. But we do it and hope that noone would ever need it! regards Reinhold Jim Taylor schrieb: I keep getting this pressure from clients to keep copies of their 500GB oracle database for 7 years. They don't seem to know why they want it kept for seven years. Like most others they don't think of what their restore requirements are.

Re: ATTN: All Windows 4.1.2 Client Users
Andy, that's really good news. But we have another problem with 4.1.2: We have TSM Server 4.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3 and are having lots of problems on a Solaris client 4.1.2 on Solaris 7. We upgraded our TSM server at 2000/02/08 from 3.1.2.40 to 4.1.2.0. At this time the Solaris box with client 4.1.1 wasn't able to backup any more (core dump). We upgraded the client to 4.1.2 and had the problem with national (and special) characters. This server is a NFS file server for more than 40 engineers (Catia) with over 130.000 files. Since most of our catia files have special characters in it's name we don't have backups of the engineers work for more than 2 weeks now!!! If we can expect a solution for Windows 4.1.2 - is this true for Solaris (or other UNIX flavours) also? Reinhold Wagner, Zeuna Staerker GmbH Co. KG
Re: ANS1304W on 4.1
I called the IBM/TSM support and was told that all UNIX/Windows/Novell (...?) clients show this behavior. The developers are working on the problem with high priority (what else!). Untill an official fix is available, they advice to go back to 4.1.1!! We will do it if we can (4.1.1 ends with a core dump on our solaris 2.7 box!). regards Reinhold Wagner, Zeuna Staerker GmbH Co.

Re: ANS1304W on 4.1
Richard, thanks for the quick answer. Andy's message is related to Windows. Our client 4.1 is installed on a Solaris machine.

backup image on Solaris with message _file system is not loacl_

Re: Achievable throughput using Gigabit connections?
Steve, this is our environment: ADSM Server: RS/6000 F50, 2 CPU's 512 MB memory, Gigabit adapter ADSM 3.1.2.40 Network: Nortel Network switches Client: Siemens NT box, 3 CPU's 400 MHz, 3 GB, Gigabit adapter Oracle 8.0.5 - 113 GB Backup Hardware: 3494, 4 x 3590E1A (2 drives used for this backup), J tapes The online backup of this database lasts 1 h 10 m. Something seems to be wrong with your environment, but it may be difficult to find out what it is. From time to time we restore the last offline backup of this database to another NT machine. This box does not have a gigabit adapter, so we would expect a restore time of round about 10 hrs (or 20 hrs if you take into account that write operations are much slower than reads to a RAID 5 set). But this restore lasts nearly a week! Well, we are about to replace this box so we are not willing to find the reason. regards Reinhold Wagner, Zeuna Staerker GmbH Co.

Re: tape drive needs cleaning
