Export node +bad tape
Hi everybody, I have a question, i want to export the node on my new tsm with new TS3200. I have the old tsm (with lto3) the 2 tape driver was now down before finish move data to disk. I have always 9tape with data but if i do the export the export search data on tape but the tapedriver off the export node failed. (normal...) If i delete vol vol_name discarddata=yes in the 9 tape when i do the export the data can't be read on that tape and the export was successfull ? (i know all the data on this tape was lost) Regards, Mickael. +-- |This was sent by bobpatrick808...@yahoo.fr via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +--

Re: Bad tape question
Standard procedure in a TSM implementation is to have a copy storage pool as a safety, which allows a defective primary storage pool tape’s contents to be recovered, as via Restore Volume. Ricnard Sims
Re: Bad tape question
Do you have an offsite/copy of the tape? Have you tried Restore Volume?

Re: Bad tape question
If it is in a primary storage pool, issue Restore vol vome_name preview=yes Then monitor for process completion. Then check the activity log for anr1255 messages. These will show what offsite volumes were unavailable but required for the restore. Then get those volumes onsite and checked into the library, and issue Restore vol volume_name This will marke the volume as destroyed, get the available data from copy storage pools, and place it on different volumes in the primary storage pool to which the volume being restored belongs. Upon completion of the process, the old volume is marked empty, and all references to it are removed from the database.

readonly devconf.out and bad tape
Hello, I recently got handed over a client-site TSM Server (RHEL 5.4, TSM 5.5.4.2) that has 2 problems. 1: The TSM Server is actually a clusterresource, thus the config files like volhist.out are on a shared filesystem. Due to some error this filesystem went readonly. Now I probably have to restart the clusterservice / the tsm server. Is it safe to do this when devconf.out, volhist.out are not writeable? Is there risk of dataloss? 2: During space reclamation the server encountered a strange tape error (it's been there for longer as the activity log can say). 01/28/2014 10:21:19 ANR1330E The server has detected possible corruption in an object being restored or moved. The actual values for the incorrect frame are: magic 53454652 hdr version 0002 hdr length 0032 sequence number 0001 data length 0003FFB0 server id segment id 77359863 crc .

Bad tape question
Hi everybody and thanks for reply, My copypool was down because we lost one drive, we migrate the data to the tapepool to new tapepool on disk to perform an export node to the new TSM server with new tapedriver (LTO6, current LTO3). So if i do restore volume A00015L3 discarddata=yes The volume was back empty ? and the damaged file was lost and tsm doesn't ask this damaged file instead of the export node want him ?

Re: Bad tape question
Try AUDIT VOL ... FIX=NO before giving up on any data. That can clear files previously marked as damaged. Try a different tape drive. In general, I have found that a tape which is starting to go bad, can always be read by trying it on each other drive until it works. Then after you get the data moved off, discard the tape.

Re: Export node bad tape
Try exporting the node directly from one server to the other via the network. Getting the two servers to talk to each other over the net is not difficult. V5 talks to V6 OK. BTW just finished an upgrade of our largest TSM server (300GB database) from V5 to V6, and it went very well. I have concluded that upgrading a TSM server from V5 to V6 is much better, faster, and easier than moving the nodes via export or having them do new backups. I wish I had known this two years ago, because I could have saved a lot of work. The upgrade process is long and complicated, taking us 49 hours, but it works and then you're done. We now have a v6.2.5 TSM server with the Server Installation Date/Time in 1999.

Assuming you've eliminated hardware as the problem (i.e. dirty or broken drive, etc.), try the RESTORE VOLUME command (hopefully you are backing up your storage pools ... ? :-) If that doesn't work, then barring any other solutions that may arise, if you *must* get the data off the tape (use QUERY CONTENT to see what is actually on the tape to determine how critical it is), then you should contact IBM support for assistance. They can connect you with folks in development who can help get the data off the tape. (Note that this will almost certainly be a billable service.)

TSM won't read the header of the tape and therefore won't acknowledge the tape exists other than the barcode. ... You've deprived us of the context of the problem...something you need to pursue in dealing with this. A problem like this has historically occurred in a shared library scenario, where the sharer has overwritten the tape, obliterating the label and much of the data. I urge you to track down the cause to prevent recurrences and lost data: imagine if it happens with a primary pool tape before a Backup Stgpool can be performed. Use Query Volume timestamps, the volume history, and activity log to try to narrow down when it happened, and from there the events leading to the loss. (It isn't April 1, so we can probably rule out someone substituting a blank tape with that barcode on it.) Richard Sims, http://people.bu.edu/rbs
Bad Tape...
Hi Everyone! I'm stumped on this problem. The tape in question, 474599, is a magstar 3590. It has a device class tape unit of silom for all of the magstar tapes used for tsm.

... ANR1144W Move data process terminated for volume 474599 storage media inaccessible. ... This is the essence message. Whenever you get one like this you need to check the status of the tape as the library records its status. The tape is probably stuck in a drive. This is where library monitoring is of value.

bad tape
Hello everyone! I have a weird situation and I wasn't quite sure what to do. I have a bad tape that is vaulted. It has 0 data on it, but it won't delete from TSM. The reuse delay is way past expiration, so it isn't being held by that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!! Joni Moyer Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] (717)975-8338
Re: bad tape
Try this: Update the access to READONLY instead of OFFSITE (even if you haven't brought the tape back yet). run: AUDIT VOLUME XX FIX=YES If there really is 0 data, it won't call for a mount, it will just give you a message about fixing inconsistent data. Then the tape should go to EMPTY status. I just cleaned up 6 tapes that way; we are TSM on AIX 4.2.1.15.

Re: bad tape
By the way, you may need to change the tape status from READONLY back to OFFSITE.

I have some like that also. Usually an audit of the database will clear those up, they have with mine. But some databases are so large that the server can't be down that long.

Re: Bad tape
David, look for AUDIT VOLUME, RESTORE VOLUME and UPDATE VOLUME ACCESS=DESTROYED commands. They can help you when the bad things already happened. If you want to prevent or predict tape failure you can use private volumes instead of scratch (yes, I know it's harder to maintain). For private volumes there is useful info in Q VOL F=D output - Write Pass Number: . And you can estimate how many times this particular cartridge was used. You have same data for scratch volumes BUT when the volume becomes empty and returns to scratch status the counter is reset to 0 !!! So you cannot rely on it.

Re: Bad tape
The RESTORE VOLUME command is used for this. Use it with preview=yes and it won't actaully do restore. Then look at actlog and you will see what tapes are needed to actually do the restore including tapes in vault. I have used this many times to restore broken/bad tapes. Note with the dynamics of *SM when you get tapes back tomorrow , you may stilkl need more tapes sometimes as reclamation has moved data to another tape. May take a 2nd retrieve from vault to get all. Doesn't happen too often though. I wait till late in day to run and get list of tapes needed ffrom vault to improve the chances of one request doing the whole job. David B.

Re: saving a bad tape...
One trick I've done for a bad tape is to alternate "audit vol VOLSER fix=no" and "move data VOLSER" commands. It seems each time a little more infomation was picked up. I never got everything from a tape, but you may get lucky and get the data that you need. I went through about 4 rounds before I stopped getting more data back from the volume (this was done on both a 3995 Optical Library from an OS/2 ADSM V2.1 server and a 3590B (in 3494) drive from an AIX TSM 3.7 server).

Re: saving a bad tape...
And another suggestion: try retrieving the data using all tape drives that you have, in that there may be variations, and one may be able to read the bad tape better than another drive. Richard Sims, BU

what to do with a bad tape
I have several tapes in my tapepool that keep getting set to unavailable or read only, I have tried to set the access to read write and they get set back, I want to destroy the tape and remove them from my library, but have do I recreate them, if the tape is damaged, I must just discard data. Will they get regenerated automatically or do I have to do a restore of the tape?? Any help would be appreciated Shawn

If the former, you should be able to do a Restore Volume from the copy pool. If in the latter, a Backup Stgpool will recreate the data. If you have no copy pool, try to do a Move Data, trying on as many drives as you have, cleaning the drives first, to try your best to get the data over. Do an Audit Volume, discarding data, as a last course. The overall slack approach is to leave the volume read-only until the data on it expires, and then check the tape out to eliminate it.
