Re: DR test and SP 7 Operations Center

[Erwann SIMON]

Hi Rick,

OC does not contain anything, everything is in the database of the connected 
TSM server, so you can just have a second OC that connects to your DR server 
using a properties file for this, see this technote :

Objet: [ADSM-L] DR test and SP 7 Operations Center

Didn't find any discussion or documentation on this subject so I'm hoping for 
feedback/suggestions.

Recently implemented a two-site installation of SP 7.1.5 using container 
storage pools and node replication.
Both the source and target servers are VM's running on Windows 2012.
There are roughly 950 clients, all AIX 7.1, using BA client level 7.1.3

I have an upcoming DR test and began thinking about the Operations Center???
The OC is installed on my source server and has become an integral tool for my 
operators, so if it's not available for the test certainly someone will 
complain.

The DR simulation takes place over 3 days and we will obviously be isolated 
from the production data center, including the source server and ultimately the 
Operations Center.
My question is; how can I, or is it possible, to make the OC available in the 
test environment?

I would think that IBM has thought this through but I didn't find any 
documented direction.
Thoughts?

Thanks
-Rick Adamson

Re: DR test and SP 7 Operations Center

[Nixon, Charles D. (David)]

We run OC on a separate LPAR and mirror the luns for the LPAR to the DR site.  
This gives us two things...

1.  In a DR scenario, you can quickly bring up the whole OC machine.
2.  When doing code upgrades, you can upgrade OC separate from the TSM servers.

Re: SKIPSYSTEMEXCLUDE test flag - what's the worst that could happen?

[Schofield, Neil (Storage & Middleware, Backup & Restore)]

Thanks Andy - that's great info.

I've done some testing of the client without the test flag, and also running 
the 'list writers detailed' command and we don't appear to suffer from any of 
the issues the test flag is intended to work around.

My plan now is to arrange with our Windows admins to get the flag removed and 
re-test the recovery.

Re: SKIPSYSTEMEXCLUDE test flag - what's the worst that could happen?

[Andrew Raibeck]

Hi Neil,

We have seen certain user situations where terribly slow enumeration of VSS
writer metadata can cause the TSM client on Windows to take a long time to
start up, e.g., the time it takes for you to see the "tsm>" prompt after
typing "dsmc". This is a situation that should be properly sorted at the OS
level (something going haywire in the OS), but in the mean time, if you
need to do a file restore, or maybe a backup of a user file (not operating
system related), then the test flag bypasses this enumeration and thus
avoids the delay.

It is inadvisable to include it in the dsm.opt file in normal practice, so
I would suggest you not use it.

If you think this Windows system is subject to the "slow VSS writer
metadata enumeration" issue, you can validate that by running the
diskshadow utility's "list writers detailed" command. If the slow
enumeration issue exists, you will see this command take a very long time
to return information, in which case it should be addressed by the Windows
system administrators. On the other hand, if diskshadow returns the data
quickly, but you still see slow TSM client startup, then you should open a
ticket with IBM support, and we'll see what is going on.

Best regards,

- Andy

SKIPSYSTEMEXCLUDE test flag - what's the worst that could happen?

[Schofield, Neil (Storage & Middleware, Backup & Restore)]

For historic reasons that I've yet to track down, the following option was 
added to the client options file on one of our Windows 2008 R2 servers:

TESTFLAG SKIPSYSTEMEXCLUDE

Now as a result of us using this test flag the Boot Configuration Data in 
C:\BOOT is backed up as part of both the system state and the C: drive backup. 
During a recent recovery test of the server both were restored and the server 
didn't boot. The symptoms (and a probable cause) are exactly as described in 
the following MS KB article:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2261423

So I was wondering if anyone else had had cause to use this particular test 
flag and whether it had impacted on your ability to do a full system restore?

The restore process gets all its information about tape volumes from the volume 
history file and possibly the device configuration file.

One approach recommended by some TSM sites is to use a device configuration 
file modified to show a manual library and then use a library control utility 
to mount the tape when requested.

If you want to use a device configuration files that shows the actual library 
type, the process depends on the type of library.

For a SCSI library you would need to get the tape into the library and add a 
volume location record for the volume to the device configuration file.

For a 3494 I think you would just need to put the volume in the library and use 
a library control utility to set the category appropriately.

Subject: RE: corrupted db on test system

I manually put the tape in the library and then did some hacking around in the 
devconfig file to tell TSM just where the tape was. 

Fired off the restore db command again and I saw the library mount the correct 
tape. 

Now I'm seeing a db restore running so I think I'm in business now. 

I understand that a db restore takes about 2 to 3 times as long as a db backup 
so it should finish in about 3 hours or so...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The restore process gets all its information about tape volumes from the volume 
history file and possibly the device configuration file.

One approach recommended by some TSM sites is to use a device configuration 
file modified to show a manual library and then use a library control utility 
to mount the tape when requested.

If you want to use a device configuration files that shows the actual library 
type, the process depends on the type of library.

For a SCSI library you would need to get the tape into the library and add a 
volume location record for the volume to the device configuration file.

For a 3494 I think you would just need to put the volume in the library and use 
a library control utility to set the category appropriately.

Hi David!
Sql code 1117 means SQLE_RC_ROLLFWD_PEND ( -1117 ). From the message manual:
SQLE_RC_ROLLFWD_PEND ( -1117 ) indicates a database Roll Forward operation is 
pending and must complete before activating the database. After the Roll 
Forward recovery step is complete, the database can be activated by starting 
the server.
How long are you waiting?
Kind regards,

Hi Christian,

No, it's not possible. the Storage Pool must be deduplication enabled to be 
able to run identify duplicates against it. If you enable your Storage Storage 
for deduplication, and start identify process, your DB will start to grown at a 
very fast rate and you won't be able this space after that.

Sounds like the problem I had back a while ago - I could post to the
newsgroup (hint for all you "test"-ers - go to
http://adsm.org/lists/html/ADSM-L/ and you will see ALL posts that make it
through to the listserver - including these "tests")  but inbound was
stuck/blocked/filtered somewhere down the line.

To prove/get around it, I used my personal Gmail account to subscribe and
everything was coming through there, just fine.

Eventually it cleared up on its own with no-one admitting to doing the
blocking or unblocking.

Re: help - tsm vg upgrade test

[Richard Rhodes]

Found the problem.

Apparently the upgrade utility requires the account to access the tsm v5
server to be an actual login account.  That is, you can ssh to the box as
that id and enter the ID and PWD of the account and get a shell.  We had
tried rsh and ssh setups without pwd's (ssh with public/private keys set).
 This allowed cmd execution but not a login.That wasn't good enough.
We had to make root to be allowed to login to access the tsm v5 db (we are
setup to run tsm v5 as root).

I has said . . .

I typed "" when I should have said "". 
dsmupgrd is on lparA - it's there, right where dsmupgdx log says it tried 
to find it.

Sorry for the confusion.

dsmupgrd is on the wrong LPAR.
The upgrade tools must be installed on the LPAR which has the v5 DB, not

Re: help - tsm vg upgrade test

[Richard Rhodes]

I think we have it right - the upgrade utilities are installed on the v5 
server as you say.

>lpar A - tsm v5 db (source)
  upgrade utilities installed

>lpar B - tsm v6 system (destination)
  new v6 server
  running dsmupgdx
successfully finds dsmserv.opt/dsmserv.dsk on lpar A
but throws the error below

We have RSH setup between the two lpars for the communications.
This seems to work since dsmupgdx sees dsmserv.opt/dsmserv.dsk of the v5 
tsm instance.

Will be opening a case with IBM shortly.

Thanks

I remember once seeing a message like this because the interpreter
named in the first line of the script did not exist. The situation
was something like the following:

The first line of the script was

#! /bin/sh

and the system did not in fact have a binary named 'sh' in /bin.

Yes, you can remove drives and control path from a logical TS3500 library that 
has volumes.

I agree that we would not be able to retain a control path to

not in itself be a problem at times when we were not performing

firmware would allow us to remove all the drives and the control

Re: TS3500 test environment

[Paul Zarnowski]

On TS3500s, I believe the library control interface for a partition is assigned 
to one of the tape drives in that partition.  Thus, with no drives, there can 
be no control of the partition.  I believe the answer is that this is not 
possible - you must have at least one drive assigned to each partition.

TS3500 test environment

I am in the process of setting up a test environment for our Version 6
TSM servers. The servers run under zSeries Linux and are currently at

at this time is to support an upgrade in the near future.

Our production environment uses a TS3500 tape library with the ALMS
feature. We will need tape infrastructure available to the test
environment for some tests, but we do not wish to have any tape drives
permanently attached to the test environment. Is it possible to have a
logical library remain in existence with tape volumes assigned but with
no tape drives assigned?

Hi Zoltan,

If you were testing a 6.3 server, you'd be able to use the new DISABLE 
SESS options.


As it is for test purposes only, you could just update server 
connections with dummy addresses or ports.

I would say:

+ delete the paths from this server to the tape drives
+ delete the paths from this server to the library
+ Remove this server from the FC zone that can access the library and
drives.

That ought to keep you from overwriting tapes.

If you get errors about failed communications attempts, I'd consider
that not a huge deal.

My firm opinion on this is that you _want_ to wipe and rebuild when
you reinstall.  You ought to have your configuration control well
enough in place that this doesn't occupy a lot of human time.  And if
it's not quite there, each burn-and-restart iteration is another
opportunity to improve the automation.

Re: Neutering a test server

[Richard Rhodes]

What I do on our test server is put dummy entries in the /etc/hosts file
for my other tsm servers.  The search order is set to check hosts file
entries first, then dns.

For example,

real server:tsm1  192.168.1.1
on server - in /etc/hosts:  tsm2  99.99.99.99

Of course, this is assuming you have names in the tsm server definitions.

Rather than change the individual Access Mode of hundreds of volumes, 
temporarily change the Access of the onsite storage pool to Unavailable.

Re: Need to perform simple restoration test from offsite tape

[Grigori Solonovitch]

Actually there is no difference between DESTROYED and UNAVAILABLE. I would 
recommend to use DESTROYED at Disaster Site and UNAVAILABLE during testing at 
main site.



I think you finally need to update all offsite volumes to status OFFSITE, not 
READWRITE.

Hello,



I'm required to perform data restoration test from some offsite tapes. I have 
never done before this but

did some reading from internet.



Below is my understanding :



1) Check offsite tapes into library.



2) Update the status of OFFSITE to readonly. (I'm not sure about this, this 
appear as one of the step I

read in an article. I assume that this is to prevent accidental writes to the 
offsite tapes).



update vol * wherestgpool=offsitepoolname whereaccess=offsite

access=readonly





3) Update the status on onsite tapes to DESTROYED or UNAVAILABLE. I assume I 
can update invidivual volumes/tapes to unavailable



update vol * wherestgpool=onsitepoolname access=DESTROYED or UNAVAILABLE



(The article only mentioned DESTROYED. I saw the UNAVAILABLE option from

the command reference. I think I would use UNAVAILABLE as it sounds less 
harmful. I don't know what is the impact if I use

DESTROYED option as we will need to continue to use the onsite tapes after 
testing)



4) Restore data.



5) After restoration of data, update the onsite pool to readwrite and update 
the offsite pool to readwrite

(This step is not mention in the article I read, I assume this is the step to 
normalize things)



Is my understanding correct? Hope someone could help on this.

Re: Anybody test Servergraph ..

[Schneider, John]

Greetings
We have Servergraph, and for a site our size (2100 TSM clients, 6 sites,
22 TSM server instances) it is a great help.  We use the Alerts, and the
threshold emails, and it has helped us avert disaster from a filled TSM
database, or out of scratch tapes, etc.  With four people managing 22
TSM servers, there isn't time to watch everything that can be happening
on all of them all the time, so you need good alerting.  And it is easy
to add alerts, which we have done as our circumstances required.

There are graphs that have helped us spot bottle necks and tune
performance, too.

It also has a couple things that I have not seen anywhere else, like the
hog report which shows which clients are using the most storage.  The
first time we looked at that we figured out that we had several Oracle
clients where RMAN was not expiring old data, and the backup data was
just growing continuously.  Catching that misconfiguration saved us
something like 20TBs of tape.  It also has a report of missed
filespaces.  We had a lot of Unix TSM clients where filesystems had been
deleted or renamed over time, but TSM still had the old filespace data
backed up for them, even though that filespace hadn't been backed up in
a year!  Cleaning those up reduced wasted space.  

There are times in which the threshold emails are a little buggy.  When
a log crosses a threshold of say, 70%, it sends out a page saying it has
crossed the threshold, but not which way.  In other words, when it goes
above 70% it warns you, but later on when it drops below 70% it sends
out another email with the same subject line!  I would have expected the
subject line to say it has dropped below the threshold and you can stop
worrying, but instead it just says you have crossed the threshold. If
you read the text of the email it explains what it means, but the
subject line could be more helpful.

Another buggy alert happened when we migrated all the data from one
storage pool to another with "move data".  A few days later all the
tapes in the original storage pool expired and became scratches, and
Servergraph spit out an alert saying that the storage pool had reached
100% full!  So apparently a storage pool that shrinks to 0 tapes in it
is 100% full.

But aside from a couple idiosyncracies like that, it has performed well
and added a lot of peace of mind to running our environment.

Re: Anybody test Servergraph ..

[Lindsay Morris]

I just saw a demo of that.
It keeps getting better, but still doesn't compare to Servergraph.
It doesn't predict when things are going to fill up, for example.
It doesn't have a server-by-server comparison table (eg, which of your
10 TSM servers is closest to filling up its database, which one moves
the most data, etc - good for load balancing).
etc.

My 2 cents.

Re: Anybody test Servergraph ..

[PAC Brion Arnaud]

Hi,

Never tested Servergraph, so I could not say if it's a good product ... The 
only reason why we never even tried it was it's price !
If your customer is looking for a cheaper piece of software to monitor his TSM 
server, I encourage you to have a look at TSMManager, which may look a little 
bit more "rough" but provides lots of information (trends of all sorts, backup 
reporting ...) and features (DRM and backupsets management, mail or HTTP 
reporting), all worth the value !

Cheers

Arnaud

Hi,



Anybody has ever test Servergraph. I wish to test this Servergraph but than.
so terrible in getting the trail version.

I wish to test this product before recommend to customer. By the way, I am 
freelancer doing TSM Installation & TSM Support to several customer.  They want 
to know who is your customer, do they have money to pay .and yet never tell you 
how much is their product.



Is this product really good ?

[Bell, Charles (Chip)]

We just recently purchased Servergraph, and I am very pleased. The demos were
better than the competitors, in my opinion, and the reports are not as
TSM-database-intensive as IBM's Operational Reporting. Also, there is more
comprehensive information than you know what to do with for the novice, and
they seem to be constantly trying to improve look-and-feel, and content that
the customer wants.

Another way is to just contact them directly.  Go to 
http://www.servergraph.com/features/webinar.php and set up a webinar.  They'll 
give you a call and set things up.  That's what I did.

No, it's not cheap, but they negotiate pretty well, especially in this economy.

Re: Anybody test Servergraph ..

[Howard Coles]

I use Servergraph here, and it's helped us a great deal.  I did some 
customization on the Operations menus that allow us to check in and out DRM 
tapes.  I think a good programmer could probably help design this a little 
better, but what we have works well at all three sites.

There are some minor issues, such as some of the graphs do not display for more 
than a few days under the health check area.  But, if you drag your mouse 
across the blank areas the sub graph that pops up gives you the info you need.  
Regular users cannot change their TSM admin ID passwords without Servergraph 
Admin level access.  They can change their servergraph password, but in sg you 
have to define your TSM server Admin ID and passwords, and if you change the 
TSM password you have to be granted admin rights in Servergraph to update your 
passwords there.

Over all since putting it in we've saved enough money in cleaning up bad 
backups, reclaiming wasted space, and doing better forecasting to pay for the 
licenses and then some.  I think it pretty much paid for itself the first year 
we had it in.

Hi,

My experience with Servergraph is completely different. 

I got a trail license via a vendor (Interaccess) in the Netherlands.

During the test period we received excellent support.
All our question were answered and the trial version was extended to
allow 
us more time for testing.

At the end we decided not to buy the product. It was a matter of
pricing. 
Its an extensive product that can do lots and lots but its not cheap.
I'd suggest you to do the same and contact a vendor in your country and

ask for a trial license.

Have you try any DR product such TBMR?
In that case will you get back ACLs and OS exact how it looks from the backup

Ämne: Re: Running a D/R test, and restored a major fileserver -- but only got

Well, unfortunately they're there and I'm here --

The backups are running the defaults and the restores are supposed to be 
running the defaults.

But we had a novice do the restore per the documentation so I may have to wait 
until Thursday to find out what actually got used.

I just wanted a sanity check from people here about the defaults.

We install the OS from CD/DVD, install the TSM client, and then restore the 
drives at the drive-level (not the C: drive, of course, but all the others). 
This is the first time we've run into this, so I'm leaning toward a restore 
option screwup.

Re: Running a D/R test, and restored a major fileserver -- but only got back the default access control permissions

[Howard Coles]

Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn, but if the users and groups that
the permissions are assigned to are not present in the OS, I believe
they (the permissions) may not get restored.

Also, I think you can do a permissions restore only by restoring only
the directories while using the volinfo restore switch.

You might want to look into that.

Re: Fw: Expiration on a Test server

[Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU]

Thanks for the suggestions.

I realize the test wont be that accurate. However, these servers are
dedicated to TSM so there shouldn't be anything else running.

I would settle for a 50% difference.

[ADSM-L] Fw: Expiration on a Test server






Unzone the library and drives on the test machine, so the OS doesn't see
them (then the TSM Server won't, either).  Add the "disable sessions" line
to the DSMSERV.OPT file.  Now you're isolated.  Fire up TSM, and do a DB
Backup to a file (you're doing to want to do this more than once, right?),
then you can test your expiration.   To repeat, restore the DBBackup you
did to disk.  Each expiration will expire the same data

Note:  Your results won't match the real world.  There's no other load on
this server, while a real TSM production server will have other things
going on, even when it's fairly idle.  So don't be surprised if things
take
10% longer when you have this server as the real one.

FWIW, we use multiple networks for TSM backups/archives - and we use DNS.

My TSM server is columbia; it also answers to columbia-pri (our 'private' 
network for SAP only); columbia-adm (administrative); columbia-bu1, 
columbia-bu2, columbia-bu3, and columbia-bu4 (gigabit dedicated backup 
networks). In addition we use CNAMES in our DNS that point to the columbia 
names. All our DSM.SYS entries reference the cnames, so we can move to a new 
TSM server any time we want just by changing the cname entries in DNS.

The primary network uses the 10.x.y.z address range; all the others are from 
192.168.y.z.

We don't use DNS references. We use specific IP addresses to force

Sounds like I need to go with the "unplug from the network" method before
I start the server up and run the expire.

Thanks for all the feedback.  I am glad I asked.

Fw: Expiration on a Test server

[Nicholas Cassimatis]

Unzone the library and drives on the test machine, so the OS doesn't see
them (then the TSM Server won't, either).  Add the "disable sessions" line
to the DSMSERV.OPT file.  Now you're isolated.  Fire up TSM, and do a DB
Backup to a file (you're doing to want to do this more than once, right?),
then you can test your expiration.   To repeat, restore the DBBackup you
did to disk.  Each expiration will expire the same data

Note:  Your results won't match the real world.  There's no other load on
this server, while a real TSM production server will have other things
going on, even when it's fairly idle.  So don't be surprised if things take
10% longer when you have this server as the real one.

columbia-bu2, columbia-bu3, and columbia-bu4 (gigabit dedicated backup

Re: Expiration on a Test server

[Kauffman, Tom]

Ah - A light dawns.

You have a TSM server, 'A', on host 'A' that has connections to a library, 
disk, and other such. You are now building a new copy of the TSM server 'A' on 
host 'B'. If host 'B' does not have physical contact with the library AND your 
new server 'A' does not have a server definition for the old 'A' you should be 
OK.

Like I say, we've never done server to server setups. But I do think it would 
be unusual to define a server to itself, which would be the only way I could 
see the new copy attaching to the old copy at the server level.

When I run my validation tests here I make sure that the normal TSM config for 
my test environment continues to point to the production server. Then I use a 
custom DSM.OPT pointing to a test server stanza in the DSM.SYS to access the 
test TSM server for both client and administrative command-line tools. I also 
partition my library (I have a 3584) and set up an absolute minimum library 
environment -- but only after I've played with expiration.

Does this help, or have I confused the issue?

By covertly sharing the real tape library inventory, you're playing
with fire, as the test TSM goes to use "expired" tapes for database
backups and any other server scheduled or triggered events.  That
server may also adjust the settings of tapes in the library, out of
sync with what the real server is doing.  Interesting situations may
result.

Re: Expiration on a Test server

[Kauffman, Tom]

Zoltan -

I wouldn't touch this configuration with someone else's sharp stick.

For one thing, to run expiration in a realistic manner you'll be limited to one 
run per day unless you change the date on the test server.

I'd break the testing into at least two stages -- one as a stand-alone, running 
the expire inventory with the production database copy, and the second as a TSM 
server with it's own database (not sure of the terminology here; we've never 
set up multiple servers with one library manager).

If you could logically or physically partition the library for a while that 
would let you test the library interface before swapping servers.

First thing I installed was a Bash shell on my iPhone and a SSH

But I was just thinking has anyone try to get the DSMADMC  installed

It is a compact version of FreeBSD in the phone, but I was thinking 
it shouldn't be any major problem to get the dsmadmc working on the

please let me know what you did and how the result was?


For the people that only use the ISC console. I don't know if  iPhone 
is works fine with the ISC.
But iPhone firmware 2.0 has full Java support so it should work fine 
without any issues.


If you run dsmadmc via a SSH console and iPhone it works fine but you 
will have some formation problem with the screen but it works great 
to just create a node, fix a small issue and check out/in some tapes.

First thing I installed was a Bash shell on my iPhone and a SSH client so I can 
SSH to my Linux Machine and from there can I control my TSM Servers via dsmadmc.
But I was just thinking has anyone try to get the DSMADMC  installed direct on 
there iPhone before?

It is a compact version of FreeBSD in the phone, but I was thinking it 
shouldn't be any major problem to get the dsmadmc working on the iPhone, but if 
someone already have try to get it to work. Then please let me know what you 
did and how the result was?

For the people that only use the ISC console. I don't know if  iPhone is works 
fine with the ISC.
But iPhone firmware 2.0 has full Java support so it should work fine without 
any issues.

If you run dsmadmc via a SSH console and iPhone it works fine but you will have 
some formation problem with the screen but it works great to just create a 
node, fix a small issue and check out/in some tapes.

[Schneider, Jim]

I have an ssh client installed on my Blackberry and can run dsmadmc sessions.  
The font in awfully small but it is workable.
