Reuse off old dbb volumes
Hi TSM's I have a TSM server, where I make a dbbackup every day, and delete old dbbackup volumes after 3 days, but how can I find the old (just deleted ) dbbackup volume name, so I can retrieve it from vault ?? It is not in volhis list any more, the act log don't say what volumes have been deleted from the volhis list, and even when I know the volume name, it is not possible to query the volume because it is not in any storagepool. Please help so I can reuse the right tapes. regards Bent Lerager Senior Systemkonsulent Aston Enterprise Server A/S Lautrupvang 12 2750 Ballerup --- Tlf.: +45 7025 2223 Direkte:+45 4482 0706 Fax:+45 7025 9505 Mobil: +45 2321 E-mail: Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web:http://www.astonitgroup.dk ---
Client Acceptor and firewall
Hello , I am configuring TSM client throught firewall ( CheckPoint ) - I know that this configuration is unsupported but we created some rules for B/A a scheduler sessions . What I failed is client acceptor - it seems that after http connect to port 1581 client receives java applet + dynamic port number used by java applet for connection to client acceptor service . Does somebody know how to set up port used by client acceptor ? It seems that there is some communication on port 2370 between applet and TSM client - any idea ? Any help in this area will be highly appreciated. Regards Petr Prerost e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Solaris 8 TSM 4.1.1 client gui msgs of missing fonts and a core dump
Hi together, I have installed the Tivoli Sun Solaris Client Level 4.1.1 on two Solaris 2.8 systems. The ADSM-server ist on OS/390 at 3.1.2.50 (will be migrated to 4.1 in spring). The installed client at cmd-line level works well, no problem. But when I start the gui with dsm, then I get at lot of the following messages: Warning: No font found. Warning: Name: FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING Class: XmRendition Conversion failed. Cannot load font. Then the first window is shown, but then when I press a icon a core dump is done and the application ist abended. I have not found anything in the error-databases nor in the adsm-archives. Is this an enviromental error at our installation and does someone else have this error too? If this is not an error in the client sw, does anyone know a solution? If this is realy a SW-error, which means I'm not the only one having these abends, then I will report it to tivoli. _ Kind Regards Andreas Buser Tel: ++41 61 285 73 21 Fax: ++41 61 285 70 98 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Address: Basler Versicherungen Andreas Buser Abt.

Re: Exchange Agent Scheduler
Sorry, but why do you need an extra additional scheduler. When you work on an NT box you can execute the backups via a small script (DOS) this can be scheduled through the server via a command schedule where you specify the complete name (path + file) of the script (*.bat or *.cmd) in the objects field of the schedule. In this script you specify the databases to backup for Exchange and if you want a full or incremental backup. A second thing you have to create is a little scripts that will delete old backup files with the ifolder parameter. The traditional backups of the server you can keep running via the same "Client schedule" service. Hope this helps you, Michel "Mayo, Bill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 11/18/2000 12:04:56 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Michel Engels/BE/Devoteam) Subject: Exchange Agent Scheduler I have installed the Exchange Agent on our mail server with the newest version (1.1.1.01) and have been able to successfully do manual backups.

Bent - It would certainly be convenient if the volsers of the deleted db backup volumes were recorded in the Activity Log. Two ways to get around their absence: 1. Have an operating system job capture the volsers of the BACKUPFULL, BACKUPINCR volumes contained in the volume history backup file (named in the server VOLUMEHistory option) before and after the db backup, then compare. 2. Do 'Query ACtlog BEGINDate=-N MSGno=1361' to pick up the historical volsers of the db backup volumes at backup completion to check against those no longer in the volume history. Richard Sims, BU

NIC Question
Hello All - I have a sun solaris ADSM server that has 3 NIC cards. We would like to utilize all 3 NIC cards for backups and restores, independently. We set up the cards according to SUN and everything seems fine on that end. However, when a backup starts off, it sends all data through the first NIC card and then when it receives data, it spans through all 3 cards. Our switch recognizes all 3 cards, but as soon as a backup begins on one of the other NICS - say for instance, 48.22, the MAC disappears and the switch no longer recognizes the card. We feel that there is something on the ADSM server side that we need to set up so that if we tell a client to do a backup and designate that the server has an IP address of xx.xx.48.22, that all communications will go through this NIC card and not touch the others. xx.xx.48.20 xx.xx.48.21 xx.xx.48.22 My question is, what is it that I need to set up on the ADSM server side, so that it uses each NIC card independently. I have placed the IP address in the opt file on the client end. Is there something that I need to do on the server end? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks Terry
Tape Vaulting
Hi All I'm trying to put a square peg into a round hole and wonder if you guys can help I'm trying to set up offsite vaulting on a TSM server, without DRM and I've been directed to use the same storage company that has been used in the past. This company only offers a "box" level service, ie they will take a box of tapes off-site for storage and bring it back on request. They will not open the box to retrieve a single volume, and every box movement is charged for. My first thought was to put one tape in each box Other than that ... Lets assume that we keep boxes off site on a 60 day rotation DBB volumes will be ok, just delete them from volhist at 60 days. For copypool volumes, all I can think of is to check the date last written and run move data on any that are not empty or pending at 60 days-reusedelay. Also I'll set the reclaim level so that most tapes are reclaimed before they would need to have data moved How does everyone else handle this? Thanks Steve Harris AIX/TSM Admin Contractor Queensland Health, Brisbane Australia

Re: Tape Vaulting
Steve, We too have a service that only works with a "box". We send our people to the service once a month to go through the boxes and bring back tapes.

Our switch recognizes all 3 cards, but as soon as a backup begins on one of the other NICS - say for instance, 48.22, the MAC disappears and the switch no longer recognizes the card. We feel that there is something on the ADSM server side that we need to set up so that if we tell a client to do a backup and designate that the server has an IP address of xx.xx.48.22, that all communications will go through this NIC card and not touch the others. xx.xx.48.20 xx.xx.48.21 xx.xx.48.22 My question is, what is it that I need to set up on the ADSM server side, so that it uses each NIC card independently. I have placed the IP address in the opt file on the client end. Is there something that I need to do on the server end? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks Terry
Re: NIC Question
That is true. Direct the client to communuicate with the IP of an auxiliary card. All large quantity data communication from the client to the server will go to the auxiliary IP, however, the communication from the server will return to the client via the primary NIC. This is not really a problem since it is brief cammands for the most part. The clinker is during restores.

Re: NIC Question
On Linux you can specifiy routes through certain cards. For instance if I have 3 cards with IPs of 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, and 10.0.0.3 and I want traffic to 10.0.0.11 to go originate from 10.0.0.3 I add a route like such: route add 10.0.0.11 gw 10.0.0.3 Not sure if this will work in a Sun environment and this only controls the outgoing traffic.

Re: NIC Question
Terry, I'm not sure what the answer is, our network folks have found the same problems. My only recourse has been to use a gigabit card for the primary NIC where most traffic and nodes are. We've also had to make sure computers on other networks are connected to a nic on the ADSM server with an IP on that network, that should be SOP though. Here is what I was told by the IBM guy who set us up: **This is a function of TCPIP and the "Default Route". I mentioned this when I was out last time, since the network cards are on the same subnet, all TCP reponse traffic will go out on the Default Route which is the .111 adapter. The only way to truly fix this is to put the other adapters on a different subnet.** The network people here have tried to manually enter information on the switch side so it remembers the MAC address of each nic but unfortunetly this has not worked either. I don't know if there are others on the list who might also have seen this problem and have solved it. All I know is every time there is a network glitch they want to blame it on ADSM.

TSM network broadcast problems
Hi all, My new 3466 system with a 3494 library was installed a couple of months ago. The server is ver. 3 rel, level 2.0 and the clients are ver 3, rel 7, level 2.0.1. Things are working fine but for a few problems that I need a little assistance with. Our network is made up of mainly NT 4.0 servers, a few UNIX boxes and some DEC VMS mainframes on a 10 MB/sec backbone. This backbone was upgraded last week with a Cisco 4006 Switch. Problem: 1. The network gets flooded when I run even a singe backup, and this generates Decnet errors on the VMS systems. The problem has partially been corrected with the installation of the switch but I am still experiencing some network broadcasts especially when Exchange clients are running. I am running Exchange server 5.5 and TSM agent ver 1.1.1.0. 2. This problem does not occur with all nodes. I have checked the network configuration of the NT servers and they are fine. I have been able to correct the problem with some clients by uninstalling and reinstalling. Any assistance with this problem will be highly appreciated. Fritz Mesumbe __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Failure of Archive Events with 4.11.16 client on NT
Andy Raibeck wrote in March 1999: "In the case of a SELECTIVE backup or an ARCHIVE, if one or more files can not be backed up (or archived) then the event will be failed. The rationale for this is that if you ask to selectively back up or archive one or more files, the assumption is that you want each and every one of those files to be processed. If even one file fails, then the event will have a status of failed. So the basic difference is that with incremental we expect that one or more files might not be able to be processed, so we do not flag such a case as failed. In other cases, like SELECTIVE or ARCHIVE, we expect that each file specified *must* be processed successfully, or else we flag the operation as failed." Has this changed? Under 3.1.06 client on NT, an archive would show as failed if a file was in use. With the 4.11.16 client, archive does not show as failed when files are in use or when archiving drives that do not exist. Thanks, Tim Rushforth [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TSM 4.1 pricing and reseller

Server TSM4.1.1 on AIX 4.3.3.6
Client TSM4.1.1 on AIX 4.3.3.6
I have DIRMC specified for all clients. The structure is as follows:
DIRMC: uses pool DIRDISK which migrates to pool DIRTAPE,backed up to
pool DRTAPES
DATAMC: uses pool DATADISK which migrates to pool DATATAPE, backed up to
pool DRTAPES
The result is a single copy pool containing all data and dir info (non
collocated).
DR RESULTS:
Having restored ONLY the TSM server db and log areas, I updated all vols in
DIRTAPE and DATATAPE to destroyed. Also updated all disk vols to off-line.
Then updated all tapes in DRTAPES to READO.
When I issued a restore for any given FS, all of the dirs were recreated
(restored) WITHOUT any tapes being called for. The first mount didn't
occur until a data file was needed.

Hi all,
The 'old' redbook "Getting started with ADSM: A practical Implemantation
Guide" recommends to use a seperate MC and STP for directories (for restore
performance reasons). Chapter 13.2.3 DIRMC (page 236) states:
"In a restore ..., ADSM first restores the directories and then the
files..."
(This chapter is identical in the newer "Getting started with TSM:
Implementation Guide.)
However there are DIRMC disadvantages as well; recently a known DIRMC
performance problem was described by NORBERT WINDRICH:
>we made a move data of a dirmc copy pool. The move data process
>needs 5:12 hours to move 70 823 172 bytes. Most of the data is read
>from a disk storage pool. For database files we can move up to 10 GB
>per hour.
At out site we have the same problem (caused by tape repositioning zillion
times) , but with migration. Fortunately BILL BOYER responded with the
following AND a solution:
>A co-worker of mine worked with IBM/Tivoli on this. The symptoms came
during
>the reclamation of the offsite copypool tapes for the DIRMC disk storage
>pool. The answer he got was that reading from the disk storage pool was
done
>a file at a time and not buffered. They said it was because it was a
random
>access device and they had no plans to 'fix' it.[...]
>What he came up with was to create a sequential primary pool with a FILE
>device class and make this the NEXTSTGpool for the DIRMC disk pool and
>migrate daily. The reclamation and BA STG are alot faster.[...]
>The reclamation [...] runs in about an hour [...] instead of a day.
This solution sounds perfect and should work (not repeated yet), but ... is
there still a need for DIRMC after RICHARD SIMS kicks in?:
[...]
>Consider also that dirmc isn't what it once was. ADSMv3
>introduced the concept of Restore Order. See that entry in
>http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts, or APAR IC24321.
So, i looked up this entry in the QuickFact to find (try to find this in
the
TSM manuals...):
[...]"restore order" considers
where objects
exist on sequential media and
brings
them back in this order so that the
media can be moved from beginning
to
end. One of the side effects of
this[...]
This suggest that (in V3) files and directories are retrieved just as the
come along on the media, contrary to the redbook suggestion ("In a restore
..., ADSM first restores the directories and then the files..."), however
the APAR text is not completely clear to me. If the redbook is correct, a
seperate pool for DIRMC makes sense. If the redbook in not correct, it
seems there is no justification for a DIRMC pool.
In the last case we would all be better off just leave the
complicated-but-not-so-usefull feature!
This leaves me with two Questions:
1) Is the use of DIRMC obsolete? (complex, but no advantage) (of course we
can always 'make up' some advantage, like 'its nice tho have the dirtree
seperate..')
2) If the redbook is incorrect, but if DIRMC is still used (with seperate
STG) how will a restore work, first the DIRMC STP, then the file STP or
what?

Rehosting from S/390 to other platforms
Hi, I have been asked to look into rehosting our TSM service instead of upgrading our S/390 processor. I know many people on the list have gone thru this. Could you reply directly to me please about your reasons for doing so? I would also like to know how difficult it was and especially if you saved money and how much. My current server is 3.7.3.8 on os/390 2.6. The processor is a 9672-r14, with rva dasd and 9840 tapes in a silo. 1,700 clients, mostly enduser desktops, 11T of data stored & 140M versions.

IPX Clients
I have a Netware Client that for variuos reasons can only talk IPX for the time being. I have configured AIX/ADSM server to talk IPX in addition to TCP/IP. Configured dsm.opt on Client for IPX. When start client get message ANS1036S Invalid option "IPXSERVERADDRESS 0009:0020484000BC in dsm.opt" (this is not verbatim but gets essential across).

In file system types where the directory structure is simple, *SM is able to store the directory attributes, need to reconstruct it, solely within the *SM database, same as it does with empty files. Only if the otherwise simple object is accompanied by an Access Control List does it involve so much information that it has to be stored in a storage pool. That's the beauty of simpler file systems: your directory structure can be restored immediately, with no media mounts. This is generally the case in Unix systems, as your AIX. I summarize this in my http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts, under "DIRMc". Richard Sims, BU

No, TSM does not currently exploit the use of the USN Journal. We are investigating comparable technologies to increase performance for backups. That's about all I can say for now. Standard disclaimer applies here. Regards, Mike Dile Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Failed backups
Hello everyone. I am the TSM server administrator at our site and we are running TSM 3.7.3 server on OS/390 2.9. I have an issue with backups either 'Failed' or 'Missed' as identified by using the TSM 'Q EV' command. Here is my question. We are thinking of doing a ping of any server that receives a failed or missed message overnight to see if there are true connectivity issues, has anyone come up with a method of doing this? I know the shortfalls of this idea as the TSM Scheduler Service may have failed but we need to know that these are not server related issues. Please let me know if anyone can provide me with insight into this situation. Thanks, Brian

Re: Failed backups
Brian, I suppose your problem is how to derive the ip address from the ADSM node name? One way of doing this would be to extract it from the activity log, e.g. 'q act begind=-7 MSG=0406 sea=name_of_missed_node' This should display the ip address that was used the last time a backup was started. --cheers Peter Koblauch Brian Nick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@VM.MARIST.EDU> on 11/20/2000 03:32:14 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Peter Koblauch/Corporate/Manulife) Subject: Failed backups Hello everyone.

ANS1036S
Wondering what this is: Trying to learn something about AIX and I'm running into a wall, not surprising though. I have a couple of problems in that: 1. If I run dsmcad from the command line, while in the directory where it resides, it is there I can see it, I get the message: /bin/ksh: dsmcad: not found. The TSM 4.1 book "Installing the Clients" is where I got the info to start the TSM Client Acceptor daemon. 2. When I try to run the baclient from the web client I get the following error: ANS2619S The Client Acceptor Daemon was unable to start the Remote Client Agent. Now in the web client error log I see the following: ANS1036S Invalid option 'D' found in options file '/ust/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin' at line number : 1 Invalid entry 'D' Explanations is as follows: Explanation: The specified option in the TSM options file (file-name) is in error. System Action: Processing stopped. User Response: Correct the options file entry. But I don't see a 'd' or 'D' in my options file on line 1 so I guess I don't get it. I checked both the dsm.sys and the dsm.opt. What am I missing on both of these? Running TSM 4.1.1 on AIX 4.3.3 I am not sure the environment is set correctly since I've built from scratch and am just learning, so any help is appreciated.

Re: Offsite copypools and rellocaction
normally offsite pools aren't collocated. IMO to be effective, you must send offsite every day any DR copypool tape that is is full or filling. Obviously if you are collocating you are likely to have one new tape per client per day that is only part full. If you can afford that - great.
