TDP for ORACLE on Solaris...
Has anyone seen the following using RMAN, (and is there a way to cure it ??) : - 12/02/00 23:00:09 ANE4990I (Session: 23879, Node: GDPORA) (8440): 12/02/2000:23:00:09 =>(gdpora) queryObj(): ANS1302E (RC2)No objects on server match query This is not stopping RMAN from processing backups as requested. I just wondered whether anyone else had come across it. The TSM server actlog seems to be full of it and the sbtio.log on the client. I've asked the DBA to switch on RMAN tracing for more infornation. Version of TDP API dosent seem revevant as we get it in TDP ORACLE V.1.1.0 and V2.1.9, the old aob agent.

Thanks as usual, to all who responded. It turned out the DBA recycled the DB and all problems cleared up. He must have read that it was required after I pointed him to the TSM/RMAN documentation. Thanks again, Jim - Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.

Re: TDP for ORACLE on Solaris...
This is normal, healthy, working as designed behaviour. What is happening is that the TSM server is being queried to verify that the file does not exist on the TSM server before it sends it there for backup.

Re: Quick start to getting DB2 and ADSM working
I checked on what I put out yesterday, and the email client inserted all sorts of garbage characters. Here is the same text again. I would appreciate any feedback you may have for improvement. Here is a quick start guide for backing up db2 to adsm. This will be based on the AIX OS and the 3.7 TSM Api level. 1. Install DB2 2. Install TSM Api 3. create a plain text file dsm.opt in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin It only needs one line, the value for SERVERNAME is arbitrary, but must match the dsm.sys file SERVERNAME DB2 4. create a plain text file dsm.sys in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin It must contain at least the following. SERVERNAME DB2 COMMMETHOD TCPIP TCPSERVERADDRESS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NODENAME DB2TSM PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE 5. register the node DB2TSM on the TSM server It is recommended to create a new DOMAIN on the TSM server for this node. It needs only one management class with a copygroup that has the following retention settings. VEREXIST=1 VERDELETED=0 RETEXTRA=0 RETONLY=0 6. sign-on as root and cd to the db2 directory that contains the files db2adutl and dsmapipw. 7. run the executable 'dsmapipw' follow the prompts. It will ask for the current password, then for a new password, and confirmation of the new password. It should report if it is successful. 8. run the command 'db2adutl query' to confirm that the password file was correctly set. If the command comes back and says no db2 objects found then it is working (you haven't done any backups yet). You should be able to check the activity log on the TSM server to confirm that the node DB2TSM athenticated. 9. You can now perform a backup using the command line or the db2 connect gui. There is one point regarding password authentication that is not explained really well. Within the options file you can either specify passwordaccess generate or password access prompt (dsm.opt for NT, dsm.sys for the Unix flavors). No matter which TSM password method you are using, these four values are needed. ADSM NODE, ADSM PASSWORD, ADSM MGMTCLASS, ADSM OWNER. These values can either come from within the specific db2 database (db2 set db cfg .), or come from the options file and current logged on user. If you are using password access generate, those values come from the options file and current logged on user. The values within the specific db2 database are NOT used. The ADSM NODE comes from the NODENAME option in the options file. The ADSM MGMTCLASS comes from the options file or goes to the default management class for the node. The ADSM OWNER is only for the Unix variants and comes from the user that is logged on to the OS and is performing the backup(the instance owner, i.e. db2inst1). The ADSM PASSWORD comes from an encrypted file that had to be previously created by running the utility that comes with db2, DSMAPIPW. The only time the values set within the specific db2 database are used is when passwordaccess is set to PROMPT. Note that each db2 database in a given instance has it's own four adsm values. You must set these everytime for each database if you are going to use passwordaccess prompt. The only time PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT is required is when you are performing a restore of a db2 database that was backed up under a different unix user (ADSM OWNER). This case is when you are trying to restore a database backed up from a different db2 instance (same machine or different) and want to restore it to another db2 instance. DB2 calls this a redirected restore. What helped me understand why you had to use PASSWORDACCESS prompt is the following. When a file or api object is backed up under Unix, the owner of the object is sent as well. Only the owner or a ROOT user can restore that object. In the case of a redirected restore you have DB2 requiring you to be logged on as the unix user that has authority to perform restores for that instance. But in this case you are trying to restore a db2 database that was backed up to ADSM with a different unix owner. So ADSM is requiring you to be logged on as the unix user that initially performed the backup. Since you can only be logged on once, and since DB2 and ADSM require different users to be logged on, you have a conflict. This is resolved by setting all the ADSM parameters within the DB2 database that you are restoring to. You then specify password access prompt, and when you perform the restore, DB2 is happy since your are logged on as the instance owner, and ADSM is happy because it gets the ADSM NODE, ADSM OWNER, and ADSM PASSWORD, from the db2 database that is being restored into.

Re: OS/390 2.4 to 2.6 and TSM 3.7 performance.
When we made the conversion to OS/390 2.6, I actually got to talk to one of the TSM server developers. It wasn't related to throughput, but I talked to him about it. According to him, you won't really see a throughput improvement so much as a reduction in TCP CPU utilization. By coding directly to the BPX callable services, they are saving the 'translation' of the TCP requests into the BPX sockets services. He told me that the big throughput improvements come with the giga-bit Ethernet OSA cards. The overhead of the Fast Ethernet OSA is what is preventing the thoughput since the system still sees it as a channel-control unit-device, and still goes through the whole IOS path. The gig-bit adapters are direct memory accessible. My thoughtput is about 10-12 GB/hour. That is testing a NTserver on the same switch as the OSA card.

1 server with two policys?
Hello all, I am trying to get some more interesting servers setup on our new TSM 4.1 system. (TSM is new to our site, we are getting rid of STKs CAM system). I am dealing with an RS6000 with DB2 on it. Most of the data for the server should have an entirely different backup schedule and data retention schedule than the DB2 data bases. Can I have this server defined to two differenet POLICIES? Do I have to give it two differenet names? I am kind of lost with it. Any help would be appreciated. Matt

Re: 1 server with two policys?
Yes, you sound lost! I strongly recommend before proceeding much further that you consider a TSM class. TSM is similar to CAM in the sense that you use Stager disk in both. But from there the similarities end and TSM is completely different beast. Your frustration level is going to increase dramatically without better understanding. The simple answer is yes, you can have two different policies: one for data and one for DBs. There are a couple of ways of handling this: one Policy Domain with two Managment classes or two Policy Domains. If you have two types of data on one client (likely) then you will use one Domain and two classes. Short plug: SSSI is offering the Level 1 class next week in Colorado Springs. We'd love to have you! Level 2 class is the week after next. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

RESTORES
Hi, Can anyone tell me what needs to be done when a client's server crashes and then a restore is requested.. This is taking too long(almost 24hrs for 80G).. What can be improved? Any insights would be helpful.. Thanks
Re: 1 server with two policys?
Matt, I have a similar setup, and, in the include/exclude list, I have the following statement: include /DATABASENAMEdatabase Obviously, change DATABASENAME to the name of the database, as configured by the DBA's. On the server, in the domain where the node is registered, I have an additional management class called "database" with a copy group configured correctly for DB2 data. This binds the database backups (and any log sweeps) to the database management class, so they expire correctly. Once I showed the customer how much extra data we had keeping the databases under the filesystem management class (keep last for 90 days), they wanted it implemented immeadiately.

Re: ADSM Client Performance counters
Hi Neil: According to Tivoli this is an open problem on all levels of TSM (see APAR IC25335 below). The apar mentions that the performance counters have been disabled. Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg [EMAIL PROTECTED] APAR IC25335 NT EVENT VIEW REPORTS "PERFLIB" ERRORS AGAINST DSMCPERF.DLL. ERROR DESCRIPTION: The Win32 client at 3.1.0.7 introduced a new performance monitoring function which includes the files: dsmperf.dll perfctr.ini dsmccnm.h In some cases, this is not installed properly and can have 2 separate results: 1. The NT Event Viewer - Application Log shows PERFLIB 1011 error against dsmcperf.dll (DWORD0) This only occurs if the customer tries to open the NT Performance Monitor 2. Same error in the form of an NT Error Box on boot. In this case, there are registry entries missing under the Hkey_Local_Machine > system > currentcontrolset > services > ADSM Client Performance > performance. The entries are "First Counter", "First Help", "Last Counter ", "Last Help" LOCAL FIX: >From the \adsm\baclient subdir, issue the commands: 1. unlodctr "ADSM Client Performance" 2. lodctr perfctr.ini This will eliminate the error messages COMMENTS: Please see the closing remarks for V3.1 IC24370. In TSM Version 3.7, the performance monitor function is still inactivated, pending a redesign (if it is possible) so that other performance monitoring tools such as Netfinity do not cause TSM to have this problem. The remarks for IC24370 apply in V3.7 as well. It is a suggestion for a future release to try to redesign and reimplement the function so that it will work when outside performance monitors are also in use. -Original Message- From: Neil Schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2000 8:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ADSM Client Performance counters Has anybody got the ADSM Client Performance counters working for the v4.1 TSM client software running under NT? I installed the 4.1.1.16 client on an NT workstation. The install created a key in the registry called "TSM Client Performance". However, the versions of DSMCPERF.DLL and PERFCTR.INI that were installed seemed to reference a key called "ADSM Client Performance". I managed to sort this out, along with the extraneous quotation marks and lack of a fully qualified path to the DLL in the registry values. I then used LODCTR to load the counters into Performance Monitor. The counters appear, but never register any backup activity. They just stay at zero. I've got an additional problem with the client running on a Compaq server. On this system, starting the Compaq NT Management and Patrol for Insight Manager services causes an 'ADSM_Client_ThreadList_Mutex' error in the event log. The source of the error is "ADSM Client Performance". Has anybody got this working? Neil Schofield The information in this e-mail is confidential and may also be legally privileged.

Re: 1 server with two policys?
Per some of the other responses to your question, you have two main choices for keeping API (DB2) data separate from your backup/archive client data. Either way you should use separate nodenames for these two types of data. Once you have two nodenames, you can have them belong to the same domain, but use the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE list to send API data to a management class with the desired retention (VERDEL=0 RETONLY=0). Or you can create a new domain and update the node that will be doing the API backups to be a member of this domain. Then you just need one management class as the default and you don't have to worry about incorrectly setting the include statement. I recommend using a second domain.

TSM 3.7.2.0 client on AIX; TSM 3.7.3.8 server on AIX The command dsmc q arch '/*' -subdir=yes shows the archives for all but one filesystem. To see the missing filesystem requires dsmc q arch '/advscratch2/*' -subdir=yes Any thoughts as to why the /advscratch2 archive would not be listed by the first command?

Re: ebutool question
Use standard unix echo "y" | ebutool -db_name=db -purgejobs=5 Steve >>> David Longo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/12/2000 1:30:52 >>> I have TSM server 3.7.4.0 and a client with Oracle database 7.3.4 with Ebutool 2.2.0.6.0.

Re: Scheduler for TSM 4.1.1
In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "David Browne." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> says: > >I just installed TSM 4.1.1 on my Windows 95 Client. After the install I >noticed that the Scheduler was not installed. > Did I do something wrong or is there a bug in the install? TSM had a design change and no longer installs the scheduler on client install. You can use the dsmcutil program to install it, or do it from the gui. But there is a problem in that the gui interface deletes the excludes/includes from your dsm.opt file. So if you want to use the gui interface, save a copy of your dsm.opt file before hand. /len
