Re: ANR9999D asutil.c(218): Pool id 0 not found.
Strange, I am seeing a similar message during start of the server (3.1.2.57), but never saw it during a restore. I always contributed it to a problem we are known to have in our DB. (I could not afford to run the suggested DUMP/LOAD/AUDIT DB so far.) And, what a coincidence, we are also using ADSM to backup our DFS (dsmcdfs with VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT definitions) ...

scheduled restore->rename of files
Hello *SMers, I am in a situation where I cannot use trial and error, so... Does anybody know how to define a restore schedule for a single file such that it is renamed on the target node? What does the OBJ string need to be? - I dont want to get this wrong and overwrite the file that is already there, and the syntax given in the help from the server is not clear for def sched. Its simple if your at a dsmc console, but from the server def sched help it seems it will treat the files as just a list of two files to restore rather than file_to_restorenew_file_name Thanks, __ |Matthew Warren.

Problems with Barcode Reader.
L.S. We have a problem with a Magstar 3575 Tape library. When auditing the library, with parameter "checklºrcode" the barcode is not recognized. The robot must put the tape in the drive in order to recognize the tape label. All the microcodes and the Atape drivers have been upgraded to the latest level, but to no avail. We think that the problem is hardware related. Can anyone out there give us some assistance or clues? TIA. Gwen Garcia.

Full backup at end of BST?
British Summer Time (daylight saving time in UK) ends this weekend. I have just done a test by rolling the time forward on a test NT client and it appears that I should expect the first backup after the end of BST will be a full backup! I've tried this with 3.7 and 4.1 TSM clients for Windows and the result is the same. I can't remember having this problem before I upgraded from the v3.1 client software. Both the client and the server are running on NT with the option to automatically adjust for daylight savings changes enabled. What am I missing? Surely TSM uses the UCT timestamp on the file. Has anybody else encountered this? I really don't want to come to work next week if the first backup of all my TSM clients is going to backup everything.

Re: 3590 tape compress question
When client compression is turned on, the data is already arriving to the TSM server in a compressed state. The 3590 may indeed be trying to compress this data again, but compressed data does not compress very well, so this is why you see the misleading utilization. Keep in mind though, that the data is *still* compressed. It's just a matter of who is doing the compression (software or hardware). The 40 - 50 GB on cartridge that you were seeing may very well represent 100 or more GB of uncompressed data. So your cartridge that shows 50 GB used is still actually housing 100 GB. So either way, you are getting the benefits of compression. Now the question becomes who you want to do the compression. Choosing to use or not use client compression can have an impact on your entire network. In general, client compression requires more overhead on the client system, but can help save on network bandwidth... but you may get misleading stats on your tape utilization. It's a matter of understanding that the 40 - 50 GB you see on the tape represents 100 GB or more of real client data. And don't forget to test restore performance, because restores may be slower if the client has to decompress the data before putting it back to disk. On the other hand, if network bandwidth is not an issue, then let the hardware do the work of compression. I am sure others can convey their experiences with client vs. hardware compression. My main point is that just because you see lower cartridge utilization does not necessarily mean you are not gaining the benefits of compression; it's just a matter of where the compression is happening. Also, and perhaps more important, is to understand the potential impact to your network of turning client compression on or off.

Re: Move client data to another stgpool
Well, yes and no, depending on how much pain you are willing to put up with. If you are looking to be able to directly MOVE the data for these filesystems, the answer is NO! That funtionality doesn't exist in TSM, but has been requested several times. The only way I got done what you're looking to do was to turn on collocation in the old pool, wait for (or help) tapes to split out data, and then do move data commands. Another method would be to selective backup the files again. Finding out what those files are can be done but it is time consuming. MAJOR PAIN IN THE BUTT!

Optimum diskpool size
I look after the companies TSM environment. Approx 700 servers back up an average of 60-70gb per night. The ADSM server runs on OS/390 with 500 OS/2 and 200 NT clients. I have 2 primary disk pools, one of 45GB for the NT servers(colocated) and one of 4GB for the OS/2 servers(non colocated). HIMIG is set to 80% on the large pool and usually results is migration starting between 2 and 3am each morning and completing around 9am. However the storage people have just been in touch wanting to know what I am doing with so much disc in the large pool. Basically they want 30gb back leaving leaving me with just 15gb. I suspect that things should continue to work just with migration kicking it a lot earlier however I would welcome opinions. Is there a recommended ratio of disk pool size to amount of data backed up. What ratio do most people use. Are there quantifable performance impacts in running migration at the same time as backups. I do know from experience that with migration starting significantly earlier I can expect a lot of additional tape mounts. But it might be argued so what. Are there any other gotcha's Gerard ** This document is strictly confidential and is intended for use by the addressee unless otherwise indicated. Allied Irish Banks **
Re: TSM Client Performance / dsmcperf.dll
I had a similar situation and support gave me the following work around. This was for a 3.1.0.7 client so you may need to adjust it for the Tivoli version. Since it involves 'hacking' the registry, do this at your own risk. I believe there is an apar open for this problem as well. James Thompson 1)At the \adsm\baclient directory, issue the following command: unlodctr "ADSM Client Performance" 2)Open up REGEDIT 3)Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT CONTROL SET\SERVICES\ ADSM CLIENT PERFORMANCE\PERFORMANCE and delete the following string: OPEN"OpenADSMPerfData" This should be the last string on your screen. DO NOT DELETE the ADSM CLIENT PERFORMANCE folder, only the above string in \performance folder 4) Clear out the Application log in Event Viewer.

Re: Optimum diskpool size
Hello, I would do some tests to see how quickly you are able to migrate from the diskpool with single or multiple migration processes, and also to see how quickly your diskpools fill up, and take it from there. The only other thing I would be aware of is the size of the files being backed up - TSM will only migrate the file once it has finished backing up, and 6 / 7 clients sending 2GB+ files will fill up a smaller stgpool before migration kicks in.

Re: ADSM and MS Cluster
Interestingly enough, I just completed my first config of ADSM for a cluster. Although the installation is not clearly documented, I found the Redbook fairly useful. One warning however: the notes for the options required for the service install aren't as good in the Redbook. I ended up using the notes from the readme for 3.1.8. for configuring my batch command file the line reads as follows: @echo on dsmcutil %1 /node:%2 /password:%3 /name:"ADSM Scheduler Service FSCL1" /autostart:yes /schedlog:"f:\adsm\dsmsched.log" /errorlog:"f:\adsm\dsmerror.log" /optfile:"F:\adsm\dsm.opt" I simply copied the entire BAClient dir to the resource group's folder \adsm then made sure I had the correct opt file with the exclusions and all setup. I could send you a sample file if you would like to see how I have mine layed out. Also, don't forget to bind the service through the Cluster Administrator. One point I noticed was that the service as I installed it to each owner in the Cluster was set to Automatic. After adding the service as a Generic Service in the cluster it became Manual on the active server.

Re: Optimum diskpool size
OK, I basically keep a diskpool big enough to contain an entire night's backups. Now this is compressed... Things to remember: Clients, even though using compression, allocate enough disk space in the diskpool to hold the file uncompressed, once the transfer is completed, unused space is freed. If you have a lot of concurrent sessions sending large .dbf files (that compress nicely) you end up with sessions rolling tape when they don't really need to because yadayadayada trust me When there is lots of client activity and you initiate migrations, you have TSM DB lock contention with inbound sessions & the migration processes, not as bad now as in the past but it is still there just the same. Another "trust me", in a limited number of tape drives environment you don't want inbound sessions & migrations fighting over tape drives. just things I've run into later, Dwight -Original Message- From: Gerard M Hanway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2000 9:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Optimum diskpool size I look after the companies TSM environment.

Re: Optimum diskpool size
What I have gleaned from *SM studies is that you should have enough disk cache to hold one day's worth of backups. Most installations will backup AND migrate important data. But this is an installation's decision. In doing so, it may be beneficial to backup the disk storage pool before migrating it. Otherwise, you have to copy from tape to tape rather than from disk to tape. (Of course, even after migrating one must backup the tape to tape pool to be sure you get everything!) Any optimum diskpool size will depend on how much data you normally receive on any given day. With 700 NT servers, you have to do some math and come up with a number to suit your needs. I think 45GB is a very low number. At our installation, we receive much more data than that from fewer NT servers. Again, it depends on the nature of the data and how much is backed up each day. Have a look at that and I think you will find a solution that fits you. And don't be too willing to give back the disk cache! You may need more for the OS2 boxes!!! :-) Regards, John G.

Copypool Reclamation
Sorry if this has been asked before. Is it possible to do tape copypool reclamation with a single tape drive ? The reclaimpool option isn't allowed for a copypool, so I can't see how to define file (disk) space to do it. Since I can do reclaim of primary tape pools using a reclaimpool on disk, I don't understand the limitation for tape copypools. Thanks, Rodney H ADP __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Tape drive shortage
I am running TSM 3.7.20.0 on MVS OS390 2.8 mainframe. We are short on tape drives and we are receiving the following message: ANR5373I Unable to allocate tape drive with device type TAPE36 for tape 276414. Reply C (cancel), R (retry), or W (wait). My question is; should I reply W to wait and then W to wait to the IEF238D message that will be issued from MVS allocation recovery or Should I respond R (retry) and have our automated operator product wait five minutes before a second retry is issued to prevent looping? What do you suggest for the response?

Memory consumption by SMDR.NLM backing up NDS
Hello group, I hope somebody can help me. We are trying to backup our NDS and are running into a problem. As the NDS backs up, the amount of memory 'consumed' by SMDR.NLM grows and grows until no more short term memory can be allocated on the server. Our NDS is relatively large but for the life of me I cannot understand why SMDR keeps eating more and more memory. This has been an ongoing problem for us regardless of versions of software. We are currently running Netware 5 with SMDR.NLM (V5.04), TSANDS.NLM (V5.25), TSA500.NLM (V5.03) and DSMC.NLM (V4.01A). Does anybody out there have a clue how to get around this or do we just sit back and watch Tivoli and Netware point the finger at each other? Any help would be most appreciated. Let me know if you need any more info before you can comment. Thanks, Peter
Re: Copypool Reclamation
Copypool reclamation is performed by copying data that is still valid on the tape that is being reclaimed from the *source* primary stgpool again to a new copypool tape. e.g. if files a,b,c are all still unexpired on copypool tape c1 and d is unexpired on c2, they also still exist in the primary pool - tapepool - a is on tape t1, b and d are on t2 and c is on t3. The copypool reclamation will copy a from t1, b and d from t2 and c from t3 onto a new copypool tape c9. c1 and c2 will then go pending until the reusedelay is up. So, unless your primary data is still on disk or sequential disk files, the copypool reclaim is a tape to tape operation.
