Re: Ideal storage solution for SP and SP+ ???

[Burton, Robert]

We use IBM Cloud Object Storage boxes for our backend Spectrum storage...have 
eliminated all requirements for physical tape devices...

Subject: Ideal storage solution for SP and SP+ ???

What storage solution is at the top of your list for Spectrum Protect and 
Spectrum Protect Plus?

I am a former a Data Domain abuser who (regretfully) moved to EMC Isilon and 
now looking for the best possible replacement.
Usable storage requirement of somewhere in the neighborhood of 500+ tb.

Operation protects roughly 2,100 clients. About 75% VMware VMs and SQL with a 
scattering of AIX hosting DB2 & Oracle.

Currently primarily protected using Spectrum Protect servers using BA, TDP, and 
SP4VE but looking to migrate all possible operations to Spectrum Protect Plus.

At this time the plan would be to retain only the most recent (active) data at 
our production facility on high performing storage to provide quick recovery 
then using replicate inactive data to our DR facility to be offloaded to 
Spectrum Protect servers and/or cloud.

All feedback and advice welcome. Thanks !

Re: more sophisticated way to delete nodes that are replicated?

[Robert Talda]

This one has been on my wish list for several months - so thanks in advance for 
the idea!

I am curious, though - has anyone tried to utilize the API to the OC for this?  
It might not be possible - that is how little time I’ve had to research that 
idea - but can’t hurt to ask…

Re: Windows ARL change

[Robert Talda]

Andy, et al:
  I should have mentioned this - this is exactly the strategy we are pursuing: 
moving backups of large Windows filesystems to container storage pools and 
enabling client-side deduplication.  SP client will be working hard - but 
little or no data will be transferred to the server.

  Do we get any credit for thinking of this ourselves in advance?

Re: Windows ARL change

[Robert Talda]

Andy, et al:
  Shared the meat of this discussion with our end users.  A question came up 
about restores.

Scenario:  Large Windows File Server on which the SP client is configured with 
the SKIPNTSECURITYCRC is set to YES.

End of academic year arrives in June with the usual turnover in faculty and 
grad students, requiring a major permissions change that impacts most of the 
files on the server.
However, the backups aren’t impacted because the SKIPNTSECURITYCRC is set.  So 
the only files backed up with the new security are those that are new or those 
with content changes.
This is an annual event

Middle of November, file server melts down and all the files have to be 
restored.

Because new backup of copies were NOT made when security changes were made, 
won’t the files be restored with the permissions as of the time of backup? 

I believe the answer is “YES” - which results in a potential mess for the end 
users.  Consider the case of a Word document created by a postdoc 3 years ago 
that hasn’t been modified since but is still used on an on-going basis by one 
or more classes.  The postdoc left 2 years ago, so the file permissions on the 
file server were updated accordingly - but no new backup copy created. In 
particular, a new owner was assigned.   But when the file is restored, it is 
restored with the permissions that have the postdoc as the owner.

If that is so, then the end users don’t see much of a win from the 
SKIPNTSECURITYCRC - while it saves a backup copy, it introduces the potential 
for a lot more work finding and fixing all the outdated permissions.

Now, if the SKIPNTPERMISSIONS option was also enabled, then this issue goes 
away, because end users have already accepted that upon restore, a permissions  
setting has to occur.  

So, in our environment, it appears that settings should be either
- SKIPNTPERMISSIONS and SKIPNTSECURITYCRC enabled; OR
- SKIPNTPERMISSIONS and SKIPNTSECURITYCRC disabled

Am I on the right track?

Re: Windows ARL change

[Robert Talda]

Andy:
  As always, thanks for chiming in.
 
  I was aware of this option but was hesitant to recommend it because of a side 
effect that you didn’t list:

  Upon restore, user must rebuild security permissions.
 
  So, if the fileserver/NAS had a strict permissions scheme that was easy to 
apply after a restore, then this option is viable.

   This is what bedevils us here - a lot of our units here at Cornell have file 
servers and NASs with complex permissions, and so the issue comes down to what 
is the least amount of pain: bumps in cost due to occasional big backups (we 
are a charge-back service) or trying to figure out a way to save permissions 
outside of Spectrum Protect that can be used to rebuild those permissions in a 
disaster scenario.

  Needless to say, all our customers have gone the big backup route.  Probably 
attribute additional charge to usual "Cost of working at a university” account

  Here at Cornell, we have a TSM client on a Linux system backing up NFS shares 
via NFS mounts and snapdiff differentials - and have been doing so for years.

  First, the gory details:
- For TSM
TSM Client Version 7, Release 1, Level 6.0 (*red faced, thought I had upgraded 
to SP 8.1.2.0 months ago*)
Running on CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (kernel 3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64)
Accessing TSM Server for Linux Version 7, Release 1, Level 7.200
- For NetApp
Filer Version Information: NetApp Release 9.3P6
 
  We aren’t seeing your issue, and I suspect I know why.  We are telling the 
TSM client to create its own snapshots - and not use the snapshots being 
created hourly (or daily or weekly even) by the team managing the Netapp - said 
snapshots being equivalent to the ones you are trying to take advantage of in 
your backups.

  That is, the relevant part of the daily backup schedule looks like:
 Schedule Name: DAILY.INCR.NFS.SNAPDIFF
   Description: Daily SnapDiff Incremental
Action: Incremental
 Subaction: 
   Options: -snapdiff -diffsnapshot=create -snapdiffhttps


  During a backup, then, the following type of information is written to the 
dsmsched.log:
09/13/2018 00:38:08 Incremental by snapshot difference of volume 
'/nas-backup/vol/cit-pea1-test'
09/13/2018 00:38:10 ANS2328I Using Snapshot Differential Change Log.

Then, on the next backup (48 hours later thanks to a large amount of data to 
backup on 9/13), the Diff Snapshot becomes the base:

I think that consistency is what is missing in your approach - I suspect that 
there are intervening snapshots with information about files that have been 
deleted or changed that are not part of what the TSM client is seeing.

I will add that our NetApp team is very happy with this approach.  The TSM 
client has been very efficient in its management of the snapshots, and in those 
rare cases when it doesn’t, the snapshots are easy to identify and clean up.

FWIW,
Bob

Re: Multiple processes opening for one scheduled backup

[Robert Talda]

George:
  First thing that comes to mind: how many dsmc (not dsmcad) processes are 
running on the client system when you see this?

  I haven’t seen this specifically, but I have seen on occasion a “rogue” (my 
term) dsmc process running in schedule mode and interacting with the server - 
and thus getting the same “next scheduled backup window” information as the 
legitmate dsmc process invoked by the dsmcad.

Re: Looking for suggestions to deal with large backups not completing in 24-hours

[Robert Talda]

Zoltan:
  I wish I could give you more details about the NAS/storage device 
connections, but either a) I’m not privy to that information; or b) I know it 
only as the SAN fabric.  That is, our largest backups are from systems in our 
server farm that are part of the same SAN fabric as both the system running the 
SP client doing the backups AND the system hosting the TSM server.  There is a 
10 GB pipe connecting the two physical systems but that hasn’t ever been the 
bottleneck.  And the system running the SP client is a VM as well.

  Our bigger challenge was filesystems or shares with lots of files.  This is 
where the proxy node strategy came into play.  We were able to work with the 
system admins to split the backup of the those filesystems into many smaller 
(in terms of number of files) backups that started deeper in the filesystem.  
That is, instead of running a backup against
\\rams\som\TSM\FC\*
We would have one backup running through PROXY.NODE1 for
\\rams\som\TSM\FC\dir1\*
While another was running through PROXY.NODE2 for
\\rams\som\TSM\FC\dir2\*
And so on and so forth.

We did this using a set of client schedules that used the “objects” option to 
specify the directory in question:

Def sched DOMAIN PROXY.NODE1.HOUR01 action=incr options=“-subir=yes 
-asnodename=DATANODE” -objects=‘“\\rams\som\TSM\RC\dir1\” startt=01:00 dur=1 
duru=hour

Where DATANODE is the target for agent PROXY.NODE1.

Currently, we are running up to 144 backups (6 Proxy nodes, 24 hourly backups) 
for our largest devices.

Bob

Robert,

Thanks for the extensive details.  You backup 5-nodes with as more data
then we do for 90-nodes.  So, my question is - what kind of connections do
you have to your NAS/storage device to process that much data in such a
short period of time?

I am not sure what benefit a proxy-node would do for us, other than to
manage multiple nodes from one connection/GUI - or am I totally off base on
this?

Our current configuration is such:

7-Windows 2016 VM's (adding more to spread out the load)
Each of these 7-VM's handle the backups for 5-30 nodes.  Each node is a
mountpoint for an user/department ISILON DFS mount -
i.e. \\rams\som\TSM\FC\*, \\rams\som\TSM\UR\* etc.  
FWIW, the reason we are
using VM's is the connection is actually faster then when we were using
physical servers since they only had gigabit nics.

Even when we moved the biggest ISILON node (20,000,000+ files) to a new VM
with only 4-other nodes, it still took 4-days to scan and backup 102GB of
32TB.  Below are a recent end-of-session statistics (current backup started

Re: Looking for suggestions to deal with large backups not completing in 24-hours

[Robert Talda]

Zoltan:
 Finally get a chance to answer you.  I :think: I understand what you are 
getting at…

 First, some numbers - recalling that each of these nodes is one storage device:
Node1: 358,000,000+ files totalling 430 TB of primary occupied space
Node2: 302,000,000+ files totaling 82 TB of primary occupied space
Node3: 79,000,000+ files totaling 75 TB of primary occupied space
Node4: 1,000,000+ files totalling 75 TB of primary occupied space
Node5: 17,000,000+ files totalling 42 TB of  primary occupied space
  There are more, but I think this answers your initial question.

 Restore requests are handled by the local system admin or, for lack of a 
better description, data admin.  (Basically, the research area has a person 
dedicated to all the various data issues related to research grants, from 
including proper verbiage in grant requests to making sure the necessary 
protections are in place). 

  We try to make it as simple as we can, because we do concentrate all the data 
in one node per storage device (usually a NAS).  So restores are usually done 
directly from the node - while all backups are done through proxies.  
Generally, the restores are done without permissions so that the appropriate 
permissions can be applied to the restored data.  (Oft times, the data is 
restored so a different user or set of users can work with it, so the original 
permissions aren’t useful)

  There are some exceptions - of course, as we work at universities, there are 
always exceptions - and these we handle as best we can by providing proxy nodes 
with restricted priviledges.

  Let me know if I can provide more,
Bob

Re: Looking for suggestions to deal with large backups not completing in 24-hours

[Robert Talda]

Zoltan, et al:
  :IF: I understand the scenario you outline originally, here at Cornell we are 
using two different approaches in backing up large storage arrays.

1. For backups of CIFS shares in our Shared File Share service hosted on a 
NetApp device,  we rely on a set of Powershell scripts to build a list of 
shares to backup, then invoke up to 5 SP clients at a time, each client backing 
up a share.  As such, we are able to backup some 200+ shares on a daily basis.  
I’m not sure this is a good match to your problem...

2. For backups of a large Dell array containing research data that does seem to 
be a good match, I have defined a set of 10 proxy nodes and 240 hourly 
schedules (once each hour for each proxy node) that allows us to divide the 
Dell array up into 240 pieces - pieces that are controlled by the specification 
of the “objects” in the schedule.  That is, in your case, instead of 
associating node  to the schedule ISILON-SOM-SOMDFS1 with 
object " \\rams.adp.vcu.edu\SOM\TSM\SOMADFS1\*”, I would instead have something 
like
Node PROXY1.ISILON associated to PROXY1.ISILON.HOUR1 for object " 
\\rams.adp.vcu.edu\SOM\TSM\SOMADFS1\DIRA\SUBDIRA\*”
Node PROXY2.ISILON associated to PROXY1.ISILON.HOUR1 for object " 
\\rams.adp.vcu.edu\SOM\TSM\SOMADFS1\DIRA\SUBDIRB\*”
…
Node PROXY1.ISILON associated to PROXY1.ISILON.HOUR2 for object " 
\\rams.adp.vcu.edu\SOM\TSM\SOMADFS1\DIRB\SUBDIRA\*”

And so on.   For known large directories, slots of multiple hours are 
allocated, up to the largest directory which is given its own proxy node with 
one schedule, and hence 24 hours to back up.

There are pros and cons to both of these, but they do enable us to perform the 
backups.

FWIW,
Bob

Re: How to set default include/exclude rules on server but allow clients to override?

[Robert Talda]

Efim is correct, both about the force and  about processing order.  I got ahead 
of myself.  We built our client option sets to be as inclusive as possible, 
within minimal include and exclude statements, so that clients could override 
the behavior with includes and excludes that got processed because there were 
no conflicting server side options.  Resulted in a blind spot in my thinking - 
we haven’t had a customer need to override the management classes provided.

A possible alternative solution: create a separate domain with the same 
management classes, but with different retention and storage characteristics 
defined by those classes as needed.  Then, assign the nodes as needed to that 
domain.  That is, get to the same destination - system state information 
handled in a different manner - by changing the underlying behavior of the 
assigned management class, not the name

FWIW,
Bob 

(And thanks, Efim, for catching my error!)

Has any one seen this: client restore mounting copy storage pool tape volumes?

[Robert Talda]

Folks:
  TSM Server 7.1.7.200 running on Linux x86_64 (Red Hat 6.8)
  TSM client 7.1.6.0 running on what appears to be Red Hat 5.7 (kernel 
2.6.18-300.el5)

  Local system admin is performing a BMR on a system that has been backing for 
years to the same TSM node.  So there are a lot of old files being pulled down.

  What is puzzling me is that the session associated with the restore just 
mounted a volume from our copy storage pool:

tsm: ADSM7>select * from sessions where session_id=179758

   SESSION_ID: 179758
   START_TIME: 2017-11-16 11:00:50.00

 WAIT_SECONDS: 2933
   BYTES_SENT: 10329945

  CLIENT_NAME: NASH01.SERVERFARM.CORNELL.EDU
   OWNER_NAME:

OUTPUT_MOUNT_WAIT: 
  OUTPUT_VOL_WAIT: 
OUTPUT_VOL_ACCESS: 
LAST_VERB: MediaMount
   VERB_STATE: Sent
   FAIL_OVER_MODE: No

Current mounted volumes includes:
11/16/2017 11:39:39   ANR8337I LTO volume 250152 mounted in drive DRIVE8503  
(/dev/rmt.e203.0.0). (SESSION: 179758)   

Which is a copy storage pool volume.  Fortunately, we had drives available and 
the volume mounted so sys admin isn’t seeing a delay.

Not seen this before, not sure what the condition would be to have server reach 
to copy storage pool to get data.  

Has anyone seen/experienced this?

Thanks!

Re: Huge differences in file count after exporting node to a different server

[Robert Talda]

Zoltan:
 For what it is worth, I’ve seen this behavior for years.  I attempted to 
pursue it a couple of times with IBM support but never got anywhere.

 In fact, it just occurred last week//
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago)
TSM Server Version 7, Release 1, Level 7.200


Source node statistics (from BACKUPS table):
FSIDType State   Count
1 DIR INACTIVE_VERSION353
1 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION57355
1 FILE INACTIVE_VERSION   1055
1 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION   392870
2 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION 4161
2 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION25751

Target node statistics (from BACKUPS table):
FSIDType StateCount
1 DIR INACTIVE_VERSION706
1 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION   114710
1 FILE INACTIVE_VERSION   1055
1 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION   393246
2 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION 4161
2 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION25751

Note the duplication of the directories - so obvious, I didn’t pursue.  I did 
look into the additional active files, and many were inconsequential (e.g., 
files named .ds_store; this is a macOS X platform) but there were a number of 
other files with real content.  In this case, the additional files were not a 
problem, so I didn’t pursue further, other than verifying that expiration 
wasn’t running on the source server, so the origin was uncertain

There haven't been any backups performed to either the original (since the

Neither server runs dedup (DISK based storage volumes).

Any thoughts?

Odd behavior during CIFS file restore

[Robert Talda]

Folks:
  Now that Paul Zarnowski and his extensive knowledge and experience have 
retired to greener pastures, we need to reach out to the community for some 
insight.

  We have a NetApp appliance that supports our Shared File Service for campus, 
offering both CIFS and NFS shares.  In line with a recent list discussion about 
the problems with NDMP backups, we use two proxy systems for backup (Windows 
Server 2012 R2 for CIFS shares; RHEL 6 for NFS shares).  While we have our fair 
share of issues with the backups, in general this architecture has worked for 
us.

  Recently, though, we had to perform a restore of a directory on a CIFS share 
for a user.  This is outside our normal boundaries, but it was an emergency.  
In the process, we encountered something odd that I can’t explain.  Actually, 
there were 2 oddities.

So, starting with the facts:

   NetApp Filer Version Information: NetApp Release 9.1P5: Sun Jun 11 
02:26:58 UTC 2017
   SP Client Version 8, Release 1, Level 0.1
   TSM Server Version 7, Release 1, Level 7.200

The restore was not back to the source directory, but rather to a new directory 
created by the user as a target for the restore.  As such, we initially started 
out using UNC names for both the source AND the larget directory, namely

 Dsmc restore -optfile=“share.opt” -latest -subdir=yes 
“\\share.files.cornell.edu<http://share.files.cornell.edu>\vol\user\source 
dir\*” 
“\\share.files.cornell.edu<http://share.files.cornell.edu>\vol\user\target dir”

Obviously, the actual UNC names differ, but the “ “ in both the source and 
target directory names did exist.

Oddity 1: Issuing the command as written resulted in the SP client attempting 
to restore to the source directory, for we got a prompt about overwriting an 
existing file.  However, SP client wrote no message of any kind about not being 
able to access the target directory to either standard output or the 
dsmerror.log.  It just tried to restore back to the source directory.

Oddity 2: it appears that the “ “ in the target directory was causing the 
problem.  That is, we eventually got the restore to work, via trial and error, 
via the following sequence
Net use Z: 
“\\share.files.cornell.edu<http://share.files.cornell.edu>\vol\user\target dir”
Dsmc restore -optfile=“share.opt” -latest -subdir=yes 
“\\share.files.cornell.edu<http://share.files.cornell.edu>\vol\user\source 
dir\*” “z:\”

However, any attempt to set the drive letter to a higher level directory 
failed, i.e.
Net use Z:  “\\share.files.cornell.edu<http://share.files.cornell.edu>\vol\user”
Dsmc restore -optfile=“share.opt” -latest -subdir=yes 
“\\share.files.cornell.edu<http://share.files.cornell.edu>\vol\user\source 
dir\*” “z:\target dir\”
failed.

Has any one seen anything like this?

the CLI supports this I guess the GUI can too right? Correct at-risk

Re: Operations Center at risk setting jumps from 30 to 60 days

[Robert Jose]

Hello
Starting in version 7.1.5 ( I think ), we changed so that you can update
the default per week. If it isn't too much trouble, you can change the
default to 7 or 8 weeks. Then you can change the other machines to use a
custom value that we support. This isn't a good option if you have a lot of
clients.

The other option is to use the command builder to update the 4 clients,
this way you don't have to leave OC.

Recovering Windows Server 2012 using TSM client 7.1.6.x (was [Re: [ADSM-L] [ADSM-L] ISP 81 Discontinued functions])

[Robert Talda]

Folks:

We’ve been aware of these documents for some time, and have used them 
successfully in the past.  In light of the current conversation, though, 
ironically, my Windows System Administrator was working through the Best 
Practices for Recovering Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 document

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Best%20Practices%20for%20Recovering%20Windows%20Server%202012%20and%20Windows%208

using the TSM client for Windows v7.1.6.4 when he came across this gem.

The instructions state
a. Unpack the Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive client installation files 
into the media subdirectory of the WinPE destination directory you specified in 
step 2b above.

1. Run the installation package executable file.

2. When prompted for the folder name in which to save the installation files, 
specify the media subdirectory of the WinPE destination directory you specified 
in step 2b above. For example, c:\winpe_x64\media.

However, when he run the installation package installation file, he wasn’t 
prompted for a folder name - rather, the files were written to a directory 
named TSMClient created in the same location as the downloaded installation 
package (e.g. package was downloaded to C:\Users\\Downloads - and the 
created directory was thus C:\Users\\Downloads\TSMClient).

Further, there is no mention of the “TSMClient” directory in the document.

Now, it seems pretty obvious what we should do - namely, copy the files in the 
newly created “TSMClient” directory to the “c:\winpe_x64\media” directory.  But 
what we don’t know is how further steps might be impacted.

Has anyone attempted to do a recovery with a 7.1.6.x client for Windows?  We’d 
appreciate any knowledge you have to share.

POSTSCHEDULECMD command failing after a long running backups with "File not found" message

[Robert Talda]

Folks:
  Wondering if anyone has seen this one.  

Environment: 
TSM client for Linux x86_64 v7.1.6.0 running on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
Server release 5.11 (Tikanga) platform accessing a TSM server for Linux v 
7.1.5.200.

  We have a NetApp appliance which we backup from a dedicated proxy system.  
The NetApp appliance is offered to campus as a service, so shares are created 
and deleted randomly as new customers subscribe to the service and old 
customers drop off.  The resulting dynamic nature of the shares on the NetApp 
appliance requires a daily redefinition of the backup configuration.   So, 
every evening at 6 pm, a script fires that creates:
- the dsm.opt file defining the domains to backup; and
- a preschedule command script to mount the necessary shares on the proxy 
system before the backup; and
- a postschedule command script to unmount the shares
Then, around 9 pm, a scheduled backup is initiated.

  Most days, this functions flawlessly.  However, on occasion, the post 
schedule command script fails, creating the following message in the 
dsmsched.log:
12/09/2016 07:19:26 ANS1821E Unable to start POSTSCHEDULECMD/ PRESCHEDULECMD 
'/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/vfilers_postsched’

 Now, the file /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/vfilers_postsched exists - and can 
be ran manually without issue.  This has occurred at seeming random intervals 
over the past year, but I’ve realized that this seems to happen when the backup 
runs long.   For example, the backup that generated the error message started 
on 12/07/16 at 21:11;44, so it ran for roughly 34 hours.  This happens from 
time to time, for various reasons.

  What I think is happening:
- 12/07 18:00, the daily backup configuration script ran, creating, among other 
files, the vfilers_postsched command script containing the unmount commands
- 12/07 12:11 the scheduled backup commenced
- 12/08 18:00 the daily backup configuration script ran, creating a new version 
of the vfilers_postsched command script
- 12/09 07:19 the scheduled backup finished - and the TSM client tried to run 
the vfilers_postsched command - but it failed, generating the message above 
instead

  I think the TSM client is looking for the vfilers_postsched file that was 
created on 12/07  but no longer exists, having been overwritten on 12/08.   
This seems a little far fetched, but knowing that the TSM client reads the 
configuration file once on startup, and never again, leads me to suspect that 
the client opens the postschedulecmd file at that time as well - and not when 
the backup is over.  And thus, can’t read it when the backup is over.

  We can work around this a variety of ways, but it would be nice to have a 
root cause..

 Hypothesizing,
Bob T

Hello Jakob
I do not know the curl application very well, but I did notice that when

REST API.
I am not able to get this working and the user did not include his fix in
his reply.

Has anyone successfully tried this? I keep getting Internal Server error
replies and the OC log says:

Re: Can't Restore on CIFS/DFS backup server yet can backup

[Robert Talda]

Zoltan:
  Okay, I’m getting mixed messages from your post.  So my answer may be of 
limited value.

  “Signing in via browser” implies to me you are using the Web client - am I 
correct?

  Assuming so,
- BACKUP is looking at the local filesystems - not the information from the TSM 
Server
- RESTORE would be looking at the information from the TSM Server.

  Based on that, I suspect it may be the id you are using to sign on via the 
Web client.  

FWIW,
Bob T

STG type directory

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello all

I am now in TSM server 7.1.7.0 , in the past I used the command move nodedata  
to move client from stg1 to stg2.

Now my storages are of type DIRECTORY , I figure how now to move client from 
one STG pool of type directory to another STG pool of type directory.

Any ideas 

Regards Robert

Is anyone supporting Spectrum Protect clients running on systems using Microsoft's System Center Endpoint Protection ?

[Robert Talda]

Folks:
  Our university just began an major rollout of the Microsoft System Center 
Endpoint Protection (SCEP) product (replacing the Symantec equivalent) and 
we’ve noticed some new behavior from the Spectrum Protect client for Windows.

  In particular, when the client encounters an infected file, it ends the 
backup, writing the summary statistics to the log and exiting with an error 
code 12.  We caught this behavior when a backup of a volume with 2.9 million 
files ended after only 260K files were processed.  

  What we :think: might be happening: the Spectrum Protect client has detected 
the change to file, and attempts to read it to back it up.  This triggers a 
scan by the SCEP that reveals the virus.  The SCEP then blocks the Spectrum 
Protect client request, resulting in the following error message:

ANSE ..\..\common\winnt\ntrc.cpp(771): Received Win32 RC 225 (0x00e1) 
from FileOpen(): CreateFile. Error description: Operation did not complete 
successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

  It appears that this stops the Spectrum Protect client producer “thread” from 
walking the filesystem; and then, when the “consumer” thread catches up, the 
client exits; such as in the backup that generated the error message above, the 
last lines written were:

Normal File-->   444 \\\  ** Unsuccessful **

Total number of objects inspected:  267,699
Total number of objects backed up:   26
Total number of objects updated:  0
Total number of objects rebound:  0
Total number of objects deleted:  0
Total number of objects expired: 98
Total number of objects failed:   0
Total number of objects encrypted:0
Total number of subfile objects:  0
Total number of objects grew: 0
Total number of retries:  0
Total number of bytes inspected: 168.77 GB
Total number of bytes transferred:40.08 MB
Data transfer time:0.10 sec
Network data transfer rate:  375,325.92 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate:  5.19 KB/sec
Objects compressed by:0%
Total data reduction ratio:   99.98%
Subfile objects reduced by:   0%
Elapsed processing time:   02:11:39

  And the backup exits with a return code 12.  

  It :feels: like the Spectrum Protect client is being “nicely” killed by the 
SCEP for accessing the infected file, but it may also be a bug in the Spectrum 
Protect code.  

  I should note that guaranteeing and deleting the infected file allows the 
next backup to proceed - until it encounters an infected file.  (a.k.a. Apply, 
lather, rinse, repeat)

This output was generated by a Spectrum Protect client for Windows v7.1.4.0 
running on a Windows 2012 Server R2 platform.  The backup was initiated by a 
script, rather than by the TSM scheduler, but I believe the same behavior will 
happen for a scheduled backup.  I also believe this will happen on Apple 
Macintosh OS X systems that are running SCEP as well.  I’m working with our 
security office to set up test scenarios to verify this behavior.

But I thought I’d reach out and see if others have noticed this.

Thanks!
Bob T.

Re: Client issues after upgrade

[Robert Talda]

Zoltan:
  Just a hunch, but those files sound like the Microsoft redistributable 
libraries that are required for the client.  So the upgrade consists of more 
than just running msiexec; there are a couple of vcredist_x86.exe calls to make 
as well.  It just feels like those calls were missed.

Re: Which process generates ANR1423W messages?

  Thanks for all the responses!

  In this case, the culprit was my co-worker, who didn’t realize that I was

ultimately resulted in the messages below. 

  Somewhat disturbing, though, that the only record was the ANR2017I messages

Which process generates ANR1423W messages?

[Robert Talda]

Folks:
  Does anyone know which process generates ANR1423W messages?  The message 
itself is somewhat innocuous:

ANR1423W Scratch volume VV is empty but will not be deleted - volume access 
mode is “offsite”

  but the intriguing part is there is no session or process associated with the 
message, either in the activity log or in the ACTLOG table.  Nor are there any 
entries in the summary table for these entities - and the only process running 
at the time was a storage pool backup for a different storage pool.  There were 
client backups in progress, but this message originated from the server.

  I had two volumes with errors that I was struggling to get the data off for 
several days - and suddenly, magically, an ANR1423W appeared for both volumes.  
Headache gone, curiosity piqued.

Thanks in advance,

Re: Fine tuning INCLUDE/EXCLUDE and EXCLUDE.DIR

[Robert Talda]

Harold:
   For what is worth, been there, done this.

  Yes, adding the EXCLUDE.DIR statements will improve backup performance - 
AFTER the first backup, during which the client will tell the server to expire 
all the files and folders that are no longer backed up.  If you delete the 
filespace first, then you avoid this performance hit - but you lose the older 
data already stored in TSM (which I’m sure you know).  We’ve let customers 
choose, because they better than we do the value of that older data..

Hope this helps

Re: Windows Client Upgrades

[Robert Talda]

Rick, et al:
  I’m going to wade in cautiously here, as in my experience, every situation is 
different.

  We’ve experienced the reboot issue here at Cornell when installing or 
upgrading the TSM client for Windows, but the reboots always seem to be 
associated with the redistributable library installers provided by Microsoft.  
These appeared in v6.3.1 (for us), and while the reboot issue was documented 
for silent installs:

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_6.3.0/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/t_inst_winclient.html

we certainly missed it.  When the issue was highlighted in the next release of 
the client (v.6.4):

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_6.4.0/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/c_inst_winclientreboot.html

we figured we weren’t the only ones.  We worked with the various support groups 
on campus to separate the update of the redistributable libraries from the 
install/update of the client itself; most such groups included the 
redistributable libraries in with security patches known to require a reboot, 
so there were no “surprise” reboots.

Flash foward to the current client (v 7.1.6.0) which we are evaluating for 
rollout to our users.  While the main install documentation has remained 
unchanged, cautioning about the possibility of reboot, there is an interesting 
update to the documentation in this tech note:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27039350

In the section "Per APAR IT14776” there are examples of invocations of the 
redistributable library package (vcredist_x86.exe) with switches that appear to 
quash the restart.  I emphasize the “appear” - it hasn’t happened yet in our 
testing, but I am sharing this in the interest of learning what others 
experience.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Windows Client Upgrades

My experience has been that you can avoid the reboot IFF you stop all scheduler 
and/or Client Acceptor Daemon processes before you begin installing the new 
version. It also helps to remove schedulers and/or C.A.D., using the wizard in 
the old-version GUI client before upgrading.
Then put them back after the upgrade, so that they are guaranteed to be running 
on the new version, and you shouldn't have to reboot. This actually makes sense.

If all prerequisites are already installed & all TSM processes are stopped you

From what I have seen even if it asks to reboot basic functionality remains.

Re: Backup VE via Resource Pool

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello Marcel and Bas

Thank you for the information

I  will try with the option VMFOLDER=, 

It's a possibility to do it in command line for testing (before adding it at 
dsm.opt)

BACKUP VM ..

 I did not find the correct syntax ?

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Backup VE via Resource Pool

Hi Robert,

There is no option (yet) to directly backup a VMware Resource Pool. If you have 
a look at the dsmc backup command, there are following options for VMware 
backup:
Ref:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_cmd_bkupvm.html
and :
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_opt_domainvmfull.html

The domain level parameters are:
all-vm
all-windows
vmhost
vmfolder
vmhostcluster
vmdatastore

No vmresourcepool option here :-(. You could create an RFE for that.

I manage a lot of backups using the VMFOLDER option, i.e. move a VM into a 
dedicated VMware folder and it gets backupped by that datamover.
A workaround that we have discussed in last Dutch Spectrum Protect User group 
is to create a script to list the VMs and create a backup script from that list.
This requires scheduled (manual or automated) regeneration of the scripts, so I 
opted for the VMFOLDER option as this is easy manageable, also by the VMware 
administrators. We have found out that nested VMfolders also work, so you can 
have multiple folders with the same name in your folder structure, the TDP for 
VE picks up all those VMs in the folders.

Can I do a restore db if I previously install TSM server 7.1.6 ?

Or I need first to install TSM server version 7.1.5.200 , made the restore db 
and after it update version to 7.1.6 ?

VM snapshot question

[Robert Ouzen]

HI to all

A quick question before I investigate , using  TSM for VE V7.1.4 to back up our 
VMware environment .

I  wonder if I have a VM  with on it several snapshot ,  if after a VE backup 
and restoring the VM in alternate place.

What will be the status of this machine meaning If I will  see as  at the 
original machine those snapshots ???

Best Regards

Robert

Percent Total Space Saved calculation

[Robert Ouzen]

I Guys

I tried to figure with version TSM server 7.1.5 and the compression feature is 
On , on a stg pool of type directory.

How the percent of a Total Space Saved is calculated  in my case 58.26%

The command  Q STG DEDUPCONTAINER f=d   show:

sm: TSMREP>q stg dedup* f=d

   Storage Pool Name: DEDUPCONTAINER
   Storage Pool Type: Primary
   Device Class Name:
   Storage Type: DIRECTORY
   Estimated Capacity: 10,240 G
  Space Trigger Util:
  Pct Util: 3.5
  Description: TSMREP Replication
Delay Period for Container Reuse: 0
 Deduplicate Data?: Yes
Processes For Identifying Duplicates:
Compressed: Yes
   Deduplication Savings: 166,578 M (18.89%)
  Compression Savings: 339 G (48.54%)
   Total Space Saved: 502 G (58.26%)

If I run a select * for stgpools got only the SPACE_SAVED_MB and not the 
percent.

Any ideas ???

Re: SQL statement

[Robert Talda]

EJ:

  Wish I could be as helpful this time.  Sadly, I’ve not found a way to 
generate this output with a single SQL statement - the TSM SQL engine doesn’t 
seem to support the concept of OUTER JOIN.  I’ve had to resort to doing 2 
queries - one of the occupancy table and one of the filespaces table - and then 
using an external application (MS Excel, join, etc) to merge the results.  And 
my employer frowns on running SQL directly against DB2.

  Perhaps someone more clever than I has found a way that they can share.

  BTW, I’ve got the subquery to limit occupancy data to PRIMARY storage 
memorized…

Re: missing dsmlicense

[Robert Talda]

Charles, et al:
  Been dealing with this type of issue on the various TDP software packages for 
years.  Best I can tell, the licensing people had their own sense of 
version/release/level/sub-level, and so we would often have to install older 
versions of the TDP software then upgrade to the version we wanted OR extract 
the license file from the old installer and apply it post-new install.  

  Now that IBM has discarded the version/release/level/sub-level model, I only 
expect this incongruency to only get worse.  Until, of course, it gets better 
;-)

Robert,

you run protect stgpool prior to replicate node. By doing the protect first, 
you can reduce the amount of traffic needed for the replicate node process. 
Also, without performing protect stgpool, you loose the ability to use REPAIR 
STGPOOL as it depends on Protect Stgpool being performed.

Protect Stgpool and Node replication perform two different functions, but 
complement each other. Node replication will send stgpool data and catalog 
metadata.  To insure the logical consistency of the metadata, it will lock the 
data it is replicating (not positive at what level).  After doing node 
replication, you can recover client data.

Protect stgpool moves the data, as well, but does not lock as badly, so it will 
have less of an impact to other operations.  Once it completes, you can recover 
stgpool data (which can happen automatically if Protect senses a data 
corruption in the source pool), also Protect Stgpool gives you chunk level 
recovery that hooks into REPAIR Stgpool.


Best Regards.

Ron Delaware

Hi to all

I need a little bit more information about all the administrative process on my 
TSM environment .

I have a TSM server 7.1.5 on an O.S Windows server 2008 R2 64B.
I have mix STGPOOLS , some of type FILE (with DEDUP on server side) and some of 
type DIRECTORY

For now my order process of administrative tasks is:


1.   At late afternoon for few hours , run IDENTIFY DUPLICATES

2.   At morning 07:00 ,   run EXPIRE INVENTORY

3.   After it, run 
BACKUP DB

4.   After it, run 
RECLAIM STG

Now because I created new STGpools with type DIRECTORY (inline dedup), and  
create too an TARGET  server version 7.1.5..
Update my stgpools of type DIRECTORYwith the option:  
PROTECTstgpool=Targetstgppol  (on Target server)

Now the questions:

What will be the correct order process to add the new tasks as:

PROTECT STGPOOL
REPLICATE NODE

And what will be the correct command to repair damage container in source STG   
?

As  AUDIT CONTAINER ( with which options ??) and REPAIR CONTAINER???

Re: VM backup question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Ray

Thanks for this input ..

It is a way to do a general  INCLUDE for "Hard Disk 1"   (ALL VM needs the 
"Hard Disk 1"  to be backup) .

For machines I need to back up more than the "Hard disk 1"  I will add for each 
of them :

INCLUDE.VMDISK VMACHINE1  "Hard Disk 2"
INCLUDE.VMDISK VMACHINE1  "Hard Disk 3"

Robert, you might use the -vm parameter to exclude certain VMs in your DSM.OPT 
file.
DOMAIN.VMFULL VMHOSTCLUSTER=CLUSTER_NAME;-VM=VM_TO_EXCLUDE1,VM_TO_EXCLUDE2

Also, in your DSM.OPT file you can add INCLUDE.VMDISK options to specifically 
target VM disks you want (which excludes the other disks you do not 
specifically include).
INCLUDE.VMDISK EXACT VM NAME GOES HERE "Hard Disk 1"

Disk(s) not specifically included restore blank at their full size during a 
full VM restore.  I forget if a way exists to prevent the other disks from 
restoring in a full restore.

If you see issues with VM backups or restores, you might also consider adding 
testflag VMBACKUP_UPDATE_UUID to your DSM.OPT file to force the backup to save 
the UUID every time you perform a VM backup.

Good luck!

Re: Copy Mode: Absolute misunderstanding

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Keith

I am curious of the result . 

I need too, to back up to a new storage pool of type directory container (new 
feature inV7.1.4).  Cannot do a nextstg or move nodedata.

So want to try your suggestion COPY MODE ABSOLUTE for now I did in another way.

Rename the node to node_OLD   (all FI are with extension _OLD after it) , 
recreate the node and change the destination to the new storage directory.

After a wild delete the OLD FI and OLD node.

My copypool looks like this:

Policy Domain Policy Set Name  Mgmt Class Name   Versions Data Exists   
 Versions Data Deleted Retain Extra Versions  Retain Only 
VersionCopy Mode Copy Destination

CC   ACTIVE  MGCC12 
  4  1  
 No Limit60 
 Modified  NET_TSM

So  need to change to

Policy Domain Policy Set Name  Mgmt Class Name   Versions Data Exists   
 Versions Data Deleted Retain Extra Versions  Retain Only 
VersionCopy Mode  Copy Destination

CC   ACTIVE  MGCC12 
  4  1  
 10  10 
 Absolute V7000_D1

So after 10-11 days all my 3 inactive versions will vanish  from STG NET_TSM 
... correct >

objects were not changed since the last incremental backup.

This option overrides the management class copy group mode parameter for backup 
copy groups; it does not affect the frequency parameter or any other backup 
copy group parameters.

Objet: Re: [ADSM-L] Copy Mode: Absolute misunderstanding

Hi Keith

I am curious of the result . 

I need too, to back up to a new storage pool of type directory container (new 
feature inV7.1.4).  Cannot do a nextstg or move nodedata.

So want to try your suggestion COPY MODE ABSOLUTE for now I did in another way.

Rename the node to node_OLD   (all FI are with extension _OLD after it) , 
recreate the node and change the destination to the new storage directory.

After a wild delete the OLD FI and OLD node.

My copypool looks like this:

Policy Domain Policy Set Name  Mgmt Class Name   Versions Data Exists   
 Versions Data Deleted Retain Extra Versions  Retain Only 
VersionCopy Mode Copy Destination

CC   ACTIVE  MGCC12 
  4  1  
 No Limit60 
 Modified  NET_TSM

So  need to change to

Policy Domain Policy Set Name  Mgmt Class Name   Versions Data Exists   
 Versions Data Deleted Retain Extra Versions  Retain Only 
VersionCopy Mode  Copy Destination

CC   ACTIVE  MGCC12 
  4  1  
 10  10 
 Absolute V7000_D1

So after 10-11 days all my 3 inactive versions will vanish  from STG NET_TSM

Directory Container STG pool

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

In TSM server version  7.1.4.0 , new stgpool configuration as Directory 
Container . But still not possible to do  a move nodedata from an old stg pool 
configuration to the new stg directory container  pool.

Anybody now when is plan ?  In which version ? For now as to begin from scratch 
.

Hello all

A question about the new feature PROTECT STG in V7.1.3 , I made a test and it’s 
working fine.

I wonder how to delete the data in the target server , if I want to stop to  
protect my primary stg .

I figure I need first to run:

1.protect stgpoolsourcepool   purgedata=all
Will delete only the data on the targetpool of the specific sourcepool 
(correct ?)

2.upd stg sourcepool protect=””

Did I need other commands ?

Re: Protect stgpool question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Stefan

So it's a mix between

1. PROTECT STG  for protecting containers
2. REPLICATE NODE   for node protection node  

So I will create a script with those steps:

protect stg v7000_5 maxsess=4 FORCEREConcile=no  purgedata=no wait=yes
replicate node VIEW_HU_DATACENTER maxsess=4

Now questions :

When to use the parameter  FORCEREConcile=YES  in PROTECT STG (Once a while or 
in daily period)
When to use the parameter PURGEdata= deleted in PROTECT STG (Once a while or in 
daily period)

On REPLICATE NODE it's alsso a parameter  FORCEREConcile , when to run it with 
=YES ?

If I have a container damaged , what will be the correct process to repair it , 
by running and REPAIR STG or AUDIT  CONTAINER ???

Best Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

The protect stgpool replicates the data in the pool to the replication target 
server you defined, you still need to run a replicate node to replicate the 
metadata.
I believe that automatic recovery of damaged files happen at the end of the 
replicate node command but they might have put that in the protect storagepool 
command as well, it used to be at the end of the replicate node command iirc.

So you don't use the restore command and since there can only be one 
replication server it is replicating to it will know where to get the data from.

Regards,
   Stefan

Protect stgpool question

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello all

In TSM server version 7.1.3 is a news feature called PROTECT STG for storage at 
type DIRECTORY

I wonder if I update  a storage  with option proctect=target_stgpool  , run a 
PROTECT STG command.

After it will made my primary storage pool at state UNAVAILABLE , run a restore 
… TSM will know to  restore from the target_stgpool

Re: Node replication information?

[Robert Clark]

Thank you for your gracious response.

To demonstrate just how long its been, I forgot to mention that I'm working 
with TSM 7.1.1, on some AIX (6.1 I believe) and RedHat on Intel (7.2?) servers.

I think I'll be running some basic network performance tests first. The 
throughput I'm seeing doesn't appear to match people's glowing descriptions of 
how big the pipes are.

Thanks,
[RC]

Node replication information?

[Robert Clark]

After a long hiatus from working with TSM, I am back to working with it
again. (I left during the TSM 5 timeframe.)



Does anyone have pointers to docs useful in figuring out how node
replication determines how much to attempt to do in parallel, or general
information on how to troubleshoot its performance.

Question about protectstgpool

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello All

I create in my source TSM server version 7.1.3.100 ,  2 new STG pools  (SOURCE1 
 SOURCE2) with type= directory (for inbound dedup).

At my TSM replication  server (target) , I create too an STG pool  (TARGET) 
with type=directory

I wonder if I can in my 2 source STG update them with the sane option  
protectstgpool=TARGET.

Meaning the same protectstpool=TARGET for the both STG source.

And when occur the update of the STG in the target ?

Betreff: Bring back TSM Administrator's Guide

A great book is gone. The TSM Administrator's Guide has been obsoleted as of
v7.1.3. Its priceless collection of how-to information has been scattered to
the winds, which basically means it is lost. A pity, because this book had
been a model of complete, well-organized, documentation.

The "Solution Guides" are suitable only for planning a new TSM installation,
and do not address existing TSM sites. Furthermore, they are much too
narrow, and do not cover real-world existing TSM customers.
For instance, we use a blended disk and tape solution (D2D2D2T) to create a
good working compromise between faster restore and storage cost.

Following links to topics in the online Information Center is a haphazard
process at best, which is never repeatable. There is no Index or Table of
Contents for the online doc - so you cannot even see what information is
there. Unless you actually log in, there is no way to even leave a "trail of
breadcrumbs". Browser bookmarks are useless here, due to IBM's habit of
changing URLs frequently. This is an extremely inefficient use of my time in
finding out how to do something in TSM.

Search is not an acceptable replacement for good organization. Search is
necessary, but it cannot stand alone.

Building a "collection" is not an answer to this requirement. It still lacks
a coherent Index or Table of Contents, so once my collection gets sizeable,
it is also unuseable. And with each successive version, I will be required
to rebuild my collection from scratch all over again.

Despite the fact that it had become fairly large, I humbly ask that the
Administrator's Guide be published again, as a single PDF, in v7.1.4.

Fwd: FLASH: Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in Apache Commons affects IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center (OC) and Client Management Services (CMS) (CVE-2015-7450) (2015.12.11)

Wonderful.  Security risk in Operations Center 7.1.3.000 that I just installed 
- and the only resolution?  Upgrade to Operations Center 7.1.4.000 - which just 
so happens to require TSM Server v 7.1.4.000.  We’ve just installed TSM Server 
v 7.1.3.000 in our test environment; upgrade to v7.1.4.000 is months away.  So 
hence, is our use of the Operations Center.

Unless, that is, there will be a patch for Op Center 7.1.3.000 forthcoming?

Hello all,

I define a new storage pool with type=directory container , new feature in

I wonder now how.


Þ The equivalent command of Q MOUNT  (to view volumes mounted during a

The only thing I found is Q CONTAINER * STG=pool_name  , give me the containers 
 which belong to a specific stg



Þ Or the equivalent command of Q NODEDATA  nodename for nodename on stg 
container ?

Question about replication 7.1.3.100

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

I want to implant a replication server with TSM server 7.1.3.100 and to use the 
new feature for STGpool “Directory Containers”.

I want to replicate backups of Oracle DB , TDP for SAP , TDP for Exchange and 
regular files.

I am wondering if is better to create on the replicate server several STG pools 
or only a big one ???

Any experience ? ideas will be really appreciate.

Source and Target servers are with:


· Windows 2008/2012 R2 64B

· TSM server version 7.1.3.100

· TSM client version   7.1.3.1.
Best Regards

Re: Operation Center Blues!!

[Robert Jose]

Hi Vikas
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I am looking at your
output that you provided, and it looks like all of the values are in hours,
which used to be in days and weeks. I am pretty sure that what you are
seeing is Listener that OC uses to get updates from Spectrum Protect has
crashed. This would result in OC not updating results. We have fixed this
crashing in 7.1.3. The only other work around is to restart OC. Sorry.

Re: Question about O.C V7.1.3

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Erwann

My previous version of server and O.C  was V7.1.1.200

I have to server one HUB ( Postback) and one spoke (Adsm2)  , both are now  at 
version V7.1.3.100

O.C works fine (I think) no problem , but as I said in my previous message a 
lot of entries in Q SE

Bet Regards,

Robert

Hello Robert,

Which were your previous versions of server and oc ?

Do you have a single server, or do you have spoke servers also ? If so, what 
are their respective versions ?

Is OC responsive or is it slow ?

No idea or supposed known defect, just to be curious. I'll work on a similar 
environnement this week : one hub server (with no clients) just upgraded to 
7.1.3, and 3 spoke servers (one 7.1.1.300 and two 6.3.5.100 to be upgraded to 
7.1.1.300).

Regards,
Erwann

Question about different MGM in inclexcl file

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

I want to be in the safe side , I need to back up the PST files on another

Did the syntax is correct ??

Here the output of q copypool  for mgm MGCC12 and mgm MGPST

Question about Define a directory-container storage pool in V7.1.3

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello to all

I wonder  if in the new feature on V7.1.3.100 call  “Define a 
directory-container storage pool”   , improving dedup inbound.  Did I need the 
same process as in previous version.

In previous version for running a deduplication from the client side need to 
registering or updating a node with  the option deduplication=ClientorServer .

And to add in the client opt the line:  deduplication=yes

Re: Operation Center Blues!!

[Robert Jose]

Hi Vikas
Hmmm, I thought that would do the trick.

Ok, can you get me the results of this query from your hub server:  select
name, sec_last_catalog_backup from tsmgui_allsrv_grid

Also, is the value in the bottom right of the grid updating the last
refreshed time?

Thanks

Re: Operation Center Blues!!

[Robert Jose]

Hi Vikas
I am sorry you are having trouble with Operations Center. Let me see if I
can help. The first thing is that although 7.1.0 is a great version, we
have made a lot of updates and improvements in our latest OC (version
7.1.3).

Second, can you run query monitorsettings on both the hub and the spoke?
We want to make sure that the monitor settings is set to On and that the
spoke is in the monitored servers value on the hub (seen in the
monitorsettings or by running show monservers on the hub).

If the monitor setting is off on the spoke, you can run this command on the
spoke to turn it on:  set statusmonitor on

Now, the other issue is that the Notification Listener could have crashed
(713 will restart the listener). You can usually tell if the notification
listener has crashed because the last refresh value in the bottom right of
the grid will be in the hours. The only way to get the notification
listener started in 7.1.0 is to restart the OC.

I hope this helps

For those that want to move existing data into the new directory-container 
storage pools, and don't want to use node replication, you will need to wait 
until 1H16. 
That is when we are targeting "move in" for the new directory-container storage 
pools.

Re: TSM 7.1.3 and Directory-container storage pools

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

Today in my V7.1.3 test environment , tried to move data from old stg fashion 
(file) to  directory container storage without any success
Tried with commands:   move nodedata and move data

Here output

tsm: TSMTEST>move nodedata test from=tsmstg1 to=stg_dir
ANR3385E MOVE NODEDATA: The operation is not allowed for container storage 
pools.

tsm: TSMTEST>move data C:\MOUNTPOINTS\STORAGE_1\STG1\0267.BFS stg=stg_dir
ANR3385E MOVE DATA: The operation is not allowed for container storage pools.

I tried too , to do a nextstg
TSMTEST>upd stg tsmstg1 nextstg=stg_dir
ANR2399E UPDATE STGPOOL: Storage pool STG_DIR is not a sequential pool.

I of course define stg with stgtype=directory (stg_dir) and after it define 
stgpooldirectory

Anybody know a way to move old stg to new stg with stgtype=directory  

Regards 

Robert

I believe you can "move data" data into the container pools, you just can't get 
the data out with traditional methods at the moment but only via TSM node 
replication.
I like the new pool type but they are only suitable to a specific type of 
setup, the good news is that this setup covers a lot of the new type of TSM 
deployments we are doing!

Version 7.1.3

[Robert Ouzen]

Hello All

I wonder if people  , already upgrade to version 7.1.3 and have comments , 
appreciation …. I understand that it’s a new big concept as STG container for 
inline dedup.

Anyone use it ? and can share remarks !

T.I.A Robert

very low dedup percent on TDP for SAP archives

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi to all

We had to move our clients with TDP for SAP oracle 6.2.1 from our Data Domain 
to a new storage V7000 with RTC.

This Storage V7000_1 is configure with dedup and only from the server side

Our policy looks like:

1.Once a week the SAP is DOWN OFFLINE and an ARCHIVE for The fs is taken (fie 
level)
2..Every day there is a FULL backup of TDP for SAP
3..Monthly is ALSO a Full TDP for SAP

4..All SAP clients ( TDP and F.S) are backup to the same storage pool V7000_1

In dsmverv.opt we have the configuration:

numopenvolsallowed 200

DedupTier2FileSize100

DedupTier3FileSize400

ServerDedupTxnLimit   2000



Our devclass looks like:



tsm: ADSM2>q devc fileclassv7000



Device  Device  Storage Device  
Format   Est/Max  Mount

Class  Access  PoolType 
Capacity  Limit

Name   Strategy   Count 
  (MB)

--- ---  
-   --    --

FILECLASSV7000   Sequential   2   FILE  
 DRIVE  51,200.04,096



I saw a new parameter on register node call: (Leave it at default  YES)


Split Large Objects: Yes  (default)

My problem after a lot of full archives got a very LOW dedup percent. Here an 
output of a script

tsm: ADSM2>run dedupreport

 LOGICAL_MB after Dedup in GB   Saved space in GB

Our SAP clients are configured in utl files with:

MULTIPLEXING  1
RC_COMPRESSION   NO

>From the TSM server all clients are with:  Compression: No

Any ideas ? Maybe missed something ?

Configuring TDP for SQL Server 2012 in Win Server 2012 R2 systems in a failover cluster

[Robert Talda]

Folks:
  We’ve been asked on short notice to start backing up a high visibility SQL 
Server 2012 database that is residing on a pair of Window Server 2012 R2 
systems configured as a Failover Cluster.W

  Oh, and the DBA left.

  Our first attempts have not been promising;
*  installing and configuring the TDP for SQL on one server, it came up looking 
for Flash Copy Manager
* when attempting to use the TDP for SQL on the second server, we discovered 
the VSS Writer for SQL Server was missing
* adding the recommended options for backing up in a Failover Cluster 
environment (e.g.Data Protection for SQL Server in a Windows failover cluster 
environmenthttp://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTFZR_7.1.2/com.ibm.itsm.db.sql.doc/c_dpfcm_plan_sqlwsfc_sql.html?lang=en-us)
 resulted in the base TSM client skipping the backups of all the drives in the 
system

  So, we would like to talk off-list with someone with experience in 
configuring such.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Robert,

As your storage pools are configured for deduplication, you have to choose the 
reporting_mb column (and not logical_mb) in order to have the same statistics

Re: Different management class

[Robert Ouzen]

Hi Karel

I think I found the solution, to change on the backup copy group on the 
management class  mgtest1 the copy mode to absolute.

Run an incremental backup  , the pst will be rebound and store to the correct 
storage pool and put back the copy mode to modified

Best Regards

Robert

New backup copies will go to new stg, existing backup copies gets rebound to 
new mgmt class but won't be automatically moved from 1 stg pool to another.

 I to all

 I try to figure a scenario to change a backup for a client that only 
 pst files to go to another storage I created a new management class 
 and different copygroup destination for pst files call:  mgtest1


 ? For all files   management mgtest (default)   go to TSMSTG1 storage

 ? For pst files management mgtest1   go to TSMSTG2
 storage

 ?
 Here the copygroup output:

 In my dsm.opt I add another include statement:

 include c:\...\*.* mgtest
 include c:\...\*.pst mgtest1

 Run an incremental backup with the new include pst statement:

As you see I have rebound files (pst files) , I check in the restore the pst 
files are connected to mgtest1

But when I did a q occ everything is on TSMSTG1

tsm: TSMTESTq occ test

And too for a  q nodedata :

Why it didn’t write the pst files to TSMSTG2 storage where the mgtest1 
management is configured ??
