Re: TDP for SQL Collocation
Dear Del, I'm using single stripe (STRIPes 1) for TDP for SQL.

If you are, then you need to keep the data on separate tapes. That is because during restore, you will also be using striping and therefore those tapes will be mounted at the same time and data will be read from those tapes simultaneously.

Re: Device Class
Thanks for info. Regards to all. -Original Message- From: Alex Paschal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 10:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Device Class Possible reasons can include: 1. Using a different (maybe offsite?) library for your offsite volumes 2. EstCapacity - if you're using generictape, the capacity of the volume grows as it puts more data on it. If you send a volume offsite, it could only have 3GB and it wouldn't come back until it hits your reclamation %. You'd be wasting 37GB of that volume. If that matters to you. So, if you have a reason for a low estcapacity onsite and a high estcapacity offsite, then that could do it. 3. If you want to shape mountlimit for onsite vs. offsite volumes in your library. 4. Sometimes you may want a longer mount retention for your onsite volumes and a lower mount retention for offsite volumes because copypool volumes only get mounted during reclamation and backup stg whereas primary onsite stgpool volumes are used much more often.

I know what the problem is. There is a known situation that you must handle when restoring very large SQL databases. Basically, this is what happens: 1. The database is started to be restored. A small amount of data is restored from the TSM Server. 2. The SQL server looks at that data and sets up the database according to the information that it finds in first part of the backup data. The SQL Server preformats the files. If the database is large... the preformatting and initialization of the files could take a long time. The SQL Server is spending most of the time preformatting the files. 3. After the SQL Server is done preformatting the files, it continues restoring the rest of the data. The SQL Server is still working to preformat the files when the COMMTIMEOUT on the server times out and cancels the operation. The way to get around this issue is to increase the COMMTIMEOUT value to something very large. It needs to be large enough to allow the SQL Server to finish preformatting the files. Increase the COMMTIMEOUT to something very large (like 5 hours which is 18000 seconds) then... retry the restore. This is known issue and there is a requirement opened against the TSM Server to allow COMMTIMEOUT to be set on a NODENAME basis... since you don't normally want to set COMMTIMEOUT that large for all nodes. By the way, it is also documented in the IBM Support Solutions Database under reference # 1079494. Thanks, Del -- This message was sent with an unlicensed evaluation version of Novell NetMail.

If we selected TSM what is the required capacity for TL if we implemented 4 versions of archive 3 versions of incremental backups. reagrds, -Original Message- From: Daniel Sparrman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 5:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Tape Library Capacity Requirement. Hi It sounds like you're going to use a full backup software such as Legato. However, I will do my estimates based on TSM, which uses incremental backups, and version management to be able to do point-in-time restores of files(older version of a file than the latest) and applications. I'd probably propose a IBM 3584 Anaconda with at least 3 drives, preferable fibre attached. I guess that you are going to use TSM with this library. Therefore, you will probably not use full backups, but incremental. And, on fileservers, I recommend using more than 3 versions(which is standard within TSM). This will grow your total storage by the number of versions you want to use. It' very hard to calculate total storage requirements, when you don't tell us what kind of data that is going to be kept in the library(SQL databases, fileservers and so on). However, you can count with about 10% change every night on a fileserver, and, if not to large, use full backups of databases. I'd say you'll be storing about 10TB total, and preferable, have media protection using copypools, which means another 10TB.

How do you recover if the SQL server crashed without installing the application and creating the databases? Is this TDP for SQL Server can do the recover without installing the based application? regards, -Original Message- From: Andrew Raibeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 5:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Open file for TSM There are two variants on open file issues that are pertinent to TSM: 1) The file is open by an application, but is available for read access by other applications (such as TSM). Regardless of the TSM copy group serialization setting, TSM can back up these files. The serialization setting affects how TSM handles cases where the file has changed in the middle of backing up the file. STATIC and SHRSTATIC will not store a backup copy on the TSM server if the file changed in the middle of the backup. DYNAMIC and SHRDYNAMIC will allow a backup copy of the file to be stored on the TSM server even if the file has changed in the middle of the backup. When the file has changed in the middle of the backup, then the backup copy is often called a fuzzy backup. Thus DYNAMIC and SHRDYNAMIC will permit fuzzy backups to be stored on the TSM server. Consider: A fuzzy backup means that the file was in one state when the backup started, but in another state by the time the backup finished. As a result, the backup copy may represent an inconsistent state for the file. For certain files, such as message logs that gets appended with new messages on a regular basis, a fuzzy backup may not be a problem. For other files, such as databases, a fuzzy backup could be useless since a restore of this backup would yield an inconsistent database. Therefore, DYNAMIC or SHRDYNAMIC should be used with caution, and only for those cases where you KNOW that restore of a fuzzy backup will result in a usable file. For any file that you are unsure of, consult the owner of the file or the vendor whose application uses that file to determine the backup requirements. St. Bernard's Open File Manager can eliminate fuzzy backup issues because it not only permits access to locked files (see #2 below), but it also presents a consistent image of the file to TSM. That is, even if the file changes during the backup, Open File Manager presents TSM with the unchanged version of the file, so a consistent backup is always taken. 2) The file is open by an application for exclusive use, and is therefore unavailable for read access by any other application (i.e. the file is locked). TSM can not back up files that are locked by another application unless a product to manage open files (such as St. Bernard Software's Open File Manager) is used. If someone told you otherwise, then they are wrong: TSM can not open locked files without Open File Manager (or similar product) regardless of the serialization setting. Whether you require Open File Manager depends on your situation. In some cases, you can use the TSM PRESCHEDULECMD option to shut down applications that locks certain files before the backup starts. After the backup is complete, you can use the TSM POSTSCHEDULECMD option to restart the applications that lock the files. In other cases, you may not care if TSM can back up the file. One trivial example is the Windows pagefile.sys file. With a product like Open File Manager, you could back up pagefile.sys. However, there is no point in doing so since there is never any need to restore pagefile.sys. As to whether you need a product like Open File Manager... well, there is no simple yes or no answer. Most customers run TSM successfully without Open File Manager. You should evaluate your particular situation, i.e. use SHRSTATIC serialization, then see which files can not be backed up because they changed during backup, or were locked. Review these exceptions and evaluate your options for handling them. For some files, you may not care whether they get backed up. For files that changed during backup, determine whether DYNAMIC or SHRDYNAMIC would be appropriate, or whether you can shut down the application that uses the files before running the backup. For files that are locked but need backup, determine whether you can shut down the application that uses the files before running the backup. In the case of mission critical files for which none of these options is viable, you may need to consider using Open File Manager.

Proposed ADSM/TSM configurations
Hello All, Please provide me your suggestions and comments regarding my proposed configurations. Please help me. I am planning to upgrade Adsm server both hardware and software due to tremedous increase of a heterogeneous clients and the to upgrade ADSM software into a latest version. The estimated clients are about 90 nodes for Windows platforms (NT/2000) with estimated capacity 1350GB and 30 nodes for Unix platforms with estimated disk capacity 2500 GB. We facing a lot of problems from the existing environment, so, we decided to upgrade the system. Please help me if my proposed configurations is fit enough to meet the objectives. But here first the details of a current configurations: Hardware: * Compact Proliant 5500 (2 CPU, 256 RAM, 80 HD, 4 SCSI controllers) * Tape library ibm 3494/L10 with 4 drives (3590/B1A) and 2 drives (3490/C2A) Note: The 4 drives (3590) were currently being used by the system and the other 2 drives (3490) is setting idle in the ATLS. The ATLS with capacity of 2000 tapes Software: * OS - NT4, SP5 * Adsm server (3.1.0.2.40) Adsm server configurations: * Db size = 15GB * Log size = 1GB * Backup disk storage = 20GB * Archive disk storage= 20GB * Two primary tape storage pools for backup and archive with 500 tapes each. * The tapes size in ATLS is 25GB Note: We performed archive for selected server only to avoid running outspace of the database. The offsite copy (copy storage pool) and HSM are not implemented. = My proposed configurations is to provide two servers, one for Windows and one for UNIX platforms. The ideas are to improve the performance and productivity, to separate the adsm processes (windows and unix), to implement the offsite backup, HSM for unix platforms, etc. Here are the details of proposed configurations: For Windows Platforms (with 90 clients with estimated disk space 1350GB): Hardware: * Compact Proliant 5500 (2 CPU, 512 RAM, 70HD with Raid Support, 2 SCSI controllers, 30 size DLT tape) * Utilized the two drives (3490/C2A) that are currently idle in the ATLS Software: * OS = Windows NT/2000 * *SM (latest version compliant to Windows 2000 platform) Adsm/TSM Server Configurations: * Db size = 20GB * Log size = 2GB * Backup disk storage pool = 20GB * Archive disk storage pool = 20GB * Two primary storage pools for backup and archive with 200 tapes each (25GB size each tape) * Two copy storage pools for offsite backup * Backup version (7 versions and 1 version for the deleted files) and we keep 60 days. * Archive (weekly (1 month retention), monthly (1 year retention) and yearly with 60% of estimated disk space) For UNIX Platforms (with 30 clients with estimated disk space 2500GB): Hardware: * Compact Proliant 5500 (2 CPU, 512 RAM, 70HD with Raid Support, 4 SCSI controllers, 30 size DLT tape) * Utilized the four drives (3590/B1A) in ATLS 3494 that are currently used by ADSM server. Software: * OS = Windows NT/2000 * *SM (latest version) *SM Server Configurations: * Db size = 30GB * Log size = 4GB * Backup disk storage pool = 20GB * Archive disk storage pool = 20GB * HSM (space migration) disk storage pool = 30GB * Three primary tape storage pools for backup, archive, and space migration with 200 tapes each (25GB size each tape) * Three copy storage pools for offsite backup * Backup version (7 versions and 1 version for the deleted files) and we keep 60 days. * Archive (weekly (1 month retention), monthly (1 year retention) and yearly with 60% of estimated disk space) Thanks a lot in advance.
