Re: v6.3.5 backup/restore question
We got it working. We were getting a sql error 2033 with a return code of 50. To resolve I did exactly what I list below. I'd be curious about about how others setup a DR server. A DR server being a AIX system at a 2nd datacenter configured ready to have a restore run. In our case, the db backup, recplan, and other pieces/parts is saved to a DataDomain that replicates to the 2nd datacenter. Here is how I've been setting up a DR server: - config AIX just like prod (storage, users, sftw(tsm, other)) - create a NEW/Clean TSM instance via dsmicftgx that is just like the prod instance - run a "dsmserv removed tsmdb1" - run a /opt/Tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2iset -d It's all ready now to unpack the recplan and perform a restore. (I call this "priming" the DR server.) I'd be interested in thoughts/comments and what you do.

TDP Oracle backup/restore question
Our environment:
IBM AIX 4.3.3
TDP- Oracle 2.2.0
Oracle Database 8.1.7.4
Question:
We are using Oracle RMAN with Tivoli for our backups. In our RMAN scripts
we defined 5 Channels to use for backups. It takes about one and half hours
to complete the backups.
During the Database recovery process, we are using 5 channels. All the time
only one channel is active restoring files and rest of the channels will be
waiting on the current active channel to complete. It's taking about six to
seven hours for the database restore to complete.
Any one had previous experience with RMAN/Tivoli, waiting for allocating
channels during the restore process?
RMAN backup script:
===
run {
sql 'alter system archive log current';
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms

Re: TDP Oracle backup/restore question
Most likely the backed up data is all on one tape, and could therefore
be considered a single threaded process (my analogy).
To be able to multiple simultaneous restore sessions, the client
must be sent to a storage pool with collocation, or in the case of
RMAN which is just ONE filespace to TSM server, go directly to
tape - and you must have enough tape drives etc to do this.
Quick answer.

Multi session backup restore question
Hello all, I am trying to work in a multi session backup and be able to use a multi session restore. What I have found is that with the maxresourceutilization set to 8 that my 350GB 8 processor AIX client is using only 4 data sessions and 4 control sessions. The data all goes to the disk pool and then the migration will use only 1 tape drive for this data. I then assume a multi session restore is not going to work. 1) how can I get this backup to use more sessions for data transfer? 2) Am I correct in believing that the multi-session restore is out because of the actions of the migration process? MUST this go direct to tape to have multi session backup and RESTORE? Thanks in advance, Matt
Re: Multi session backup restore question
One way to get multi-restore to work is to collocate on filesystems in the tape pool. If one collocates to the node then the problem that your discussed happens. This is a designation of the pool so all nodes going to this tape pool will be collocated by filesspace and that can eat a lot of tapes. Another way is to logically break up your server into say four nodes. Each node has a domain/excludes/includes that limits it to certain set of filesystems. As long as the pool that they are going to is collocated by node, they can go to the same tape pool. Now during restores there is no contention for the same tape.

Re: Multi session backup restore question
In order to have multi session simultaneous restore from tape pool then you must have this data in a pool that has collocation by filespace. If you have a big enough disk pool such that if you did a restore before migration had moved the data, then a multi session restore would use the disk pool and be multi session. David B.

Re: Multi session backup restore question
We have a similar issue too. Is collocation of filespaces the only way (besides carving your system up in to multiple nodes) to acheive multiple restore sessions? Will it occur autmatically from a singe dsmc restore or do you need to manually invoke multiple sessions?

Re: AW: Multi session backup restore question
If it's 1 filespace, then just one restore session no matter how much data. Well, let me modify that. If you have filespace say /test and then have say ten folders under it such that you have /test/dir1, /test/dir2, etc. then you can do multiple restore sessions with each specifying a separate one of these, I believe. Haven't tried it but should work. However there will most likely be times where several sessions are waiting on same tape.

Re: backup/restore question
Paul,
Our NT admins did just that by doing an archive followed by a retrieve.
They were moving to a new machine. You could also do it with backups,
probably several ways... here are two off the top of my head:
1. Change the backup copy group to MODE=ABSOLUTE. Do your backup. Mode
absolute will cause all data to be backed up again, changed or not, so it
should all go on one tape. I did this for a disaster recovery test once.
Don't forget to change back to MODE=MODIFIED when you're done.
2. Register a new node, if you have anavailable license. Now run your
backup using -virtualnodename={the new node}. Do your restore with the
same -virtualnodename parameter. When you're all done, delete the
filespace and the node.

Re: backup/restore question
You can make a Backupset. This is an internal TSM procedure, it makes a tape with the needed databaseinfo and active data. You can use the tape also on the client, without a tsm-server or keep it in the library and use it for a faster restore.
