All,
Re: newbie question
LOL! I think Photoshop was easier. But if anyone is worried, I'm attending Tivoli training starting next week. (wish I could attend Photoshop training!)

You can backup the nodes. You can backup the service groups. You can backup SQL Server with TDP for Databases. You can backup Sharepoint with TDP for Sharepoint. You can add in LanFree.

Re: Newbie Question
We are running a similar setup with our cluster nodes. Cluster1 - nodea, nodeb, nodec - all active. 3-5 cluster groups with disk resources. Which are serving as 3-5 file and print servers. I use the cluster name and "file and print alias name" as my TSM definitions. If you want to add the C drives, those should have a separate schedule service configured the same as a standalone box. TSM definitions. Clustername_aliasname1 Clustername_aliasname2 Clustername_aliasname3 Clustername_aliasname4 Clustername_aliasname5 On each node of the cluster we create an options file for each tsm definition with the same name in the Tivoli\TSM\baclient directory. Clustername_aliasname1.opt Clustername_aliasname2.opt Clustername_aliasname3.opt Clustername_aliasname4.opt Clustername_aliasname5.opt Create five schedulers and 5 Webclients (if needed) on each cluster node each preceeded by the alias name. Aliasname1 - TSM backup scheduler Aliasname1 - TSM Client acceptor Aliasname1 - TSM Remote Client Agent Create ten cluster resources, 2 per group to allow failover of the scheduler service and the TSM Client Acceptor also preceeded by the alias name. It can be complicated, and even more so when some groups require archives or a different set of rules to back up specific data. I have a three node cluster with 12 different scheduler services and 6 of the definitions require a Web client. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wanda Prather Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 2:40 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Newbie Question As I understand this, you are not currently backing up any of the cluster drives now with the regular BA client? The usual way to do this is to create a "virtual" TSM client node. Most of my customers register the backup clients for the local filesystems as the node/hostname, and register the "virtual" TSm client name as the cluster name to back up cluster drives. You install a second scheduler service that runs as the "virtual" TSM client to back up the cluster drive(s). (It has it's own dsm.opt file, and it's own scheduler log - they should live on a cluster drive.) That scheduler service has to be made cluster resource, and you typically install that 2nd service on all the cluster nodes so that the backups of the cluster drive(s) can continue, even if the primary owner noder goes down. That 2nd service will typically be running on 1 node, and shut down on the others. The Windows clustering software is repsonsible for starting the service on the other node, if the 1st node dies. If you've never messed with the Windows cluster manager, have one of the Winders admins give you a tour. I'm hesitate to go any further because I'm a little confused by the statement "we have different cluster drives active on different nodes". You have to think a bit about what you are trying to accomplish, and what needs to fail over.

Re: Newbie Question
As I understand this, you are not currently backing up any of the cluster drives now with the regular BA client? The usual way to do this is to create a "virtual" TSM client node. Most of my customers register the backup clients for the local filesystems as the node/hostname, and register the "virtual" TSm client name as the cluster name to back up cluster drives. You install a second scheduler service that runs as the "virtual" TSM client to back up the cluster drive(s). (It has it's own dsm.opt file, and it's own scheduler log - they should live on a cluster drive.) That scheduler service has to be made cluster resource, and you typically install that 2nd service on all the cluster nodes so that the backups of the cluster drive(s) can continue, even if the primary owner noder goes down. That 2nd service will typically be running on 1 node, and shut down on the others. The Windows clustering software is repsonsible for starting the service on the other node, if the 1st node dies. If you've never messed with the Windows cluster manager, have one of the Winders admins give you a tour. I'm hesitate to go any further because I'm a little confused by the statement "we have different cluster drives active on different nodes". You have to think a bit about what you are trying to accomplish, and what needs to fail over. If you never intend to run backups in a failover situation, you only have to install the scheduler service for the cluster drive on one node. (OTOH, I had one customer with 4 nodes active-active-active-passive with different Exchange stores active on each node, and it resulted in 5 scheduler services being installed on each node.)

Newbie Question
Hi , I've inherited a TSM setup recently and it's been ticking over fine but now I need to make some changes, and thought I'd ask the experts for some help :-) . It's TSM 5.2 and a W2K/3 environment. One server we're backing up is a sharepoint cluster, with different cluster drives active on each node. Currenlty we backup the local drives on each node, and also a SQL agent backup. The DBA's also backup SQL to a cluster drive. They now want this drive backed up as well . How do I do this? Bear in mind, all I've done with TSM so far is checked that the existing backups worked, so in simple terms please!! :-) TIA This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

AW: Newbie question about version numbers and amount of backups
As Richard told, you can use TSM archives. But you can scrutinise the statament about TSM only beeing able to store 5 to 7 file version only. This limitation is not a TSM technical limitation, TSM can store even unlimited amount of backup versions. 5 to 7 versions is merely a policy which your TSM administrator set-up using such values. she does have simple possibility to create another policy (called management class / backup copy group) And she can even apply it to your files only, leaving all other files with 5-7 backup versions. Sure, you must be able to define your files by either unique location and/or name pattern for this purpose. If this policy change and consequent the slightly risen complexity of your TSM configuration and the higher demand on TSM Hardware ressources pays for your business requirement, only you and your TSM guy can decide. It seem you are telling about 75 SQL server backups, in this case SQL backup agent should be considered. best Juraj -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von miggiddymatt Gesendet: Montag, 30.

Use the TSM Archive facility. Its modus operandi is to keep multiple versions of the same file, so seems a natural for your needs. A Description is stored along with the file, and so you can thereafter select a given version according to a unique Description that you choose to store with the version, or the default datestamp Description text. A pre-chosen retention period governs all archived files. See your platform's client manual for particulars. Richard Simsat Boston University http://people.bu.edu/rbs/

Re: Newbie Question cluster backups
The Windows B/A Client manual has a good description on how to do this in one of its appendices. In general terms, you need to define a separate node name for the data to be backed up from the new drive; get an option file on the new drive; set up services (TSM Schedules, Client Acceptor, and Remote Agent) on EACH of the physical hosts that the vnode can fail over to, and set up cluster services in Windows' Cluster Administrator to control those services. Some gotchas: For clustered services, make sure you choose an HTTP port and TCP client port that are different from those used by all other nodes within the cluster. Make sure the option file has only the drives for that vnode in its Domain statement. The set of services on the different physical hosts for that vnode must have IDENTICAL names (i.e. the service called "TSM Scheduler: VNODENAME" must be named exactly the same way on every host that that vnode can fail over to). The local services on each physical host for the vnode must be set to Manual, not Automatic - they will be controlled by the cluster services. The most straightforward way to get the password validated for the services on each physical host is to fail the vnode over to that physical host before you create the services.

My general advice for newbies: Take home the TSM Admin Guide and Admin Reference. Read the Admin Guide from cover to cover. As commands and options are discussed in the guide, read up on them in the reference. In the same fashion, also recommend reading the TSM Backup-Archive Client user's guide from cover to cover. Pick the client manual for the client you will be using the most. After that, you can probably "cherry-pick" material to read from the other client books that apply to your installation. Yes, it is a daunting task, given the size of the books, but if you can get through one or two chapters a day, you should be able to do it in a month or less; and you will find it to be a worthwhile investment of your time. It is my own experience that this is the best way to learn a product that you will be working with, and it will give you a good overall acquaintence with TSM's capabilities. In the admin guide, pay special attention to the chapters on protecting your TSM server (the database, recovery log, and storage pools).

Re: Newbie question 2!
My general advice for newbies: Take home the TSM Admin Guide and Admin Reference. Read the Admin Guide from cover to cover. As commands and options are discussed in the guide, read up on them in the reference. In the same fashion, also recommend reading the TSM Backup-Archive Client user's guide from cover to cover. Pick the client manual for the client you will be using the most. After that, you can probably "cherry-pick" material to read from the other client books that apply to your installation. Yes, it is a daunting task, given the size of the books, but if you can get through one or two chapters a day, you should be able to do it in a month or less; and you will find it to be a worthwhile investment of your time. It is my own experience that this is the best way to learn a product that you will be working with, and it will give you a good overall acquaintence with TSM's capabilities. In the admin guide, pay special attention to the chapters on protecting your TSM server (the database, recovery log, and storage pools). Also go to http://www.redbooks.ibm.com and in the search box, enter: "tivoli storage manager" You will find multiple hits of interest. Also bookmark the URL in my sig.

Re: Newbie question 2!
One thing I've noticed is that if you run a script from the Admin Center the output is in a different format. SQLDISPLAYMODE doesn't make any difference. Here is a perfect example. Run from the command line and then run from inside Admin Center to see the difference. Then try playing with sqldisplaymode. select node_name from nodes where collocgroup_name is null __ John Monahan Consultant Infrastructure Solutions Group Computech Resources, Inc.

Re: Total newbie question about DB Backups
For protection ensure that the ROLL FORWARD mode is on and there is enough log space to take account for load during the period between TSM DB Backups. This can be up to 13.2GB. Also set the Database backup trigger, and ensure there is always scratch tapes. Put the DB and Log volumes on different physical disks and both are TSM mirrored-ensure the Log has sequential mirrorwrite set. I would advise a scheduled DB backup after all the offsite volumes are created. i.e 1 DB backup per day. The Roll Forward mode will then allow you to recover the database from tape and roll it forward from the transactions in the log.

Re: Total newbie question about DB Backups
By setting the DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS, allows you to automatically recycle the TSM DB tapes. This is usually set to something like a 5 day cycle, based on how realsitic it is that you would want to recover your TSM environment back to. This means there will always be a critical volume of tapes used for DB Backup. Be sure to set the REUDE DELAY parameter on the copy storage pools to match the retention of the database backup. This ensures the tape volumes required for that DB will be there, rather than being over written on the standard DRM cycle. (They will go into a pending state). _ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist Hitachi Data Systems Certified Professional IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of PAC Brion Arnaud Sent: 21 September 2006 16:28 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Total newbie question about DB Backups Hi Angus !

Re: Newbie question - Reruns
What is the nature of the failed backup? That is, how do you know it failed? Also, just to be clear, is the status "missed" or "failed"? Sometimes the word "failed" is used synonomously with "missed" when, from TSM's perspective, they are not the same thing... just want to be clear. Without more detail, it is difficult to say for sure what the problem might be. Things that I can think of off the top of my head include: - The scheduler is not running on the client machines. - There is a network/firewall problem preventing the client or server from contacting each other. - The scheduler is running with SCHEDMODE POLLING (which is also the default SCHEDMODE setting), and QUERYSCHEDPERIOD is a relatively large interval. Things to check: - Confirm whether you are dealing with a missed or failed schedule. - Check the TSM server activity log around the time that the client schedule started (or should have started). For a failed schedule, look for any messages related to that client from the time the event started to see if there are any messages that might hint at the problem. For a missed schedule, see if the server was trying to contact the client. Note: if you use SCHEDMODE POLLING, the server will not try to contact the client; in which case, look further back in the activity log for any messages related to the client that might hint at the trouble, or at least the last time the client successfully contacted the server. - Make sure the node is not locked. - If the schedules were missed, make sure the server is configured to support enough concurrent sessions to allow all node backups to start before the schedule window expires. - Make sure the server is not disabled for client sessions. - Examine the failed node's dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log files for information as to why the schedule might have failed (or missed). If the dsmsched.log indicates that the operation started but did not end, then maybe the scheduler is hung. - Make sure the scheduler is running on the client. If you are using the CAD to manage the scheduler, make sure the CAD is running; check dsmwebcl.log to see if the CAD is having any difficulties. - Make sure the client can contact the server. For example, maybe the client node's password has not yet been encrypted on the client, which would cause a schedule to not run. Run the command line or GUI client just to ensure basic connectivity. - See if there are any network (including firewall) problems that need to be resolved. From the server machine, can you ping the client? From the client machine, can you ping the server (more basic connectivity checks)?

There are times when you need to just go look at the darned drive and see what its panel says about its condition. Never overlook the obvious: I can't tell you how many times in my career I've seen quite intelligent people obsess over erudite factors because they could be more intriguing than reality.

Re: Newbie question about Space Reclamation
In looking at the output of the "q mount" I see the ~waiting~ and remembered... often if a tape encounters errors upon being mounted, recovery work will be performed on the tape automatically (triggered by the drive) and it will show ~waiting on mount~ until the drive gets through with it (or at least with 3590's I've seen this) It might be that the tape is actually in a drive but hasn't ~officially~ been mounted yet. I don't know if LTO tapes have all the VCR information on them like a 3590 does but if so, you might be seeing this mount pause while the system attempts to fix problems that the drive has discovered...

Re: Newbie question about Space Reclamation
With the infor you've included, I would sya you should do a "q request". It is probably requesting a volume that is out of the library. I would sya a restore could be using that volume, but that would show up in q mount. Other possibility is there is a problem with that atpe and it won't mount. In that case do a "q actlog" and see if any errors about this tape. David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/19/03 11:18AM >>> Hi, I'm only new to TSM and on a bit of a steep learning curve.

Re: NT dsmc command stopped working after UG (*newbie* question)
Well, the message: ANS0101E NLInit: Unable to open message repository 'dscameng.txt'. is telling you that it can not find the dscameng.txt file that corresponds to the 4.1.3 client level. I see you are running dsmc.exe out of the TEMP directory. Is this where you have TSM installed? Or do you have the path to dsmc.exe in your %PATH% environment variable? First, verify that you do indeed have the correct dscameng.txt file. It should be in the same directory as the 4.1.3 dsmc.exe, and the modification date/time should be the same, or at least very close, for both files. If the dscameng.txt file looks okay, then try running your dsmc.exe command from the directory where dsmc.exe is located. That should work. If everything looks okay thus far, then check the DSM_* environment variables: SET DSM_ This will show you all environment variable settings that begin with DSM_ (i.e. DSM_DIR, DSM_CONFIG, and DSM_LOG). They do not have to be set, but if you wish to be able to run dsmc.exe from any directory, then you should set them. DSM_DIR needs to point to the directory where dscameng.txt is located (should be the same directory where dsmc.exe is). DSM_CONFIG needs to point to your client options file (dsm.opt). DSM_LOG is optional, but points to the directory where dsmerror.log is kept (typically the same as DSM_DIR). For example, if TSM is installed to the default location of C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM, then you would set the variables as follows: SET DSM_DIR=C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient SET DSM_LOG=C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient SET DSM_CONFIG=C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt That should work.

TSM does not care for NDS authentication. Look carefully the description of "GRant AUTHority CLasses=Node ..." command. This may reveal some reason for the problem.
