Re: High CPU utilization on AIX SP node with 1 gig memory
I have RS/6000 SP2 wide nodes running AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 3.7.0. We do backup Informix database level 0 twice a week and Level1 on remaining days using TDP. My observation is TSM amounts for 15-20 % CPU power when backup is going on. In your case what is the application you are running ? In AIX you can run vmstat command and observe last 4 columns. You should atleast sample 10 readings to get the feeling. If performance Toolbox is loaded , SVMON is the utility to get more detailed analysis of resource utilisation.

How to configure DLT7000 drive in TSM and label the tapes ?
Hi I have configured DLT7000 standalone drive on RS/6000 H70 as OST ( Other SCSI tape drive ). I am very new to TSM so asking some basic questions. I was able to label 3590 E11 library easily. How to configure in TSM this drive. AIX is 4.3.3 and TSM is 3.7.0. After labelling the lable how to see the tape label and how to mount the tape ? Thnaks & regards Sachin Ganu
Recovery Log not compressed after db incremental backup
After upgrading from AIX ADSM server 3.1.2.54 to 3.1.2.90 I see a strange behaviour. First I have the impression that the recovery lofg fills faster. Second, we had several incremental db backups this night. The log utilization however was not reset. The full backup worked. Is this a known behaviour? Upgrading to TSM 4.1 is on the todo list. But it may require some time for planning.

Subject: DSMADMC from Visual Basic Shell Function?
I'm attempting to write a VB application to monitor the daily ADSM schedule
and to issue several commands throughout the day. My problem is that when I
use the shell command nothing seems to be working. I do not get any errors
but I do not get any output either. The format of the shell command I'm
using is provided below. I have not set any environment variables and plan
on executing the VB application under Windows 2000.
The following should issue the "q fi".
Private Sub Command1_Click()
x = Shell("C:\Progra~1\IBM\ADSM\saclient\DSMADMC.EXE -id=admin -pa=x
-outfile=c:\cmdout.txt q fi")
End Sub
The function runs without error but I do not get the -outfile allocated.
Thanks in advance for any input to my problem!

Antwort: Re: Antwort: Re: DB2/2 Backup and Policy
Nick, Thank's for all your hints - it worked really fine. After running the db2adutl.exe the versions were set to inactive and after the expire inventory process, the space was freed up und there were many 3590E-tapes emptied. Now a last question according to this - The query occupancy shows us correct, that we have now the versions we wanted to have. The Show Versions shows the same. But the query filespace shows us in the Capacity and the PCT-Util Field the same value as yesterday, when all the versions were active (look below) Does this matter to me ? (I don't think so, because the most important thing was, that TSM emptied the Tapes) Or do I have to do a kind of "compress" to this filespace ? Node Name: ATEDV0SA Filespace Name: /EDVRTEST Platform: OS/2 Filespace Type: API:DB2/2 Capacity (MB): 139.1 Pct Util: 100.0 (This filespace is only a "Test", so its size is only 139 MB) Gerhard Wolkerstorfer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Nicholas Cassimatis) am 06.02.2001 14:49:35 Bitte antworten an [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: (Blindkopie: Gerhard Wolkerstorfer/DEBIS/EDVG/AT) Thema:Re: Antwort: Re: DB2/2 Backup and Policy Gerhard (I couldn't send direct to your address, so sending via the list) Yes, the db2adutl.exe command is the one he needs to run. There are parameters to determine how many versions to keep active. Once a backup is marked inactive, and Expire Inventory is run, you'll get the space back. I had a similar situation, and when we fixed it, we emptied over 150 3590B tapes! If I can come across the command, I'll forward it to you, but the DB2 DBA's should be able to find it in their documentation. All of the SHOW commands are undocumented. If you search back through the archive of the list at www.adsm.org, there was a posting of all the commands and what they did. They are meant for TSM support to use to help diagnose problems, but most of them have good uses to us users, too. And yes, the SHOW VERSIONS output you have shows the backups bound to the right management class, so your DBA has that part right. If EXPIRE INVENTORY has run, you may see the inactive version disappear (It may take until tomorrow, as your Retain Last value is set to 1, I believe).

First - Indeed, our DB2 Admin isn't running a DELETE Command. Please, could you send me the syntax of the command, he will have to run or did you mean, that he needs to run the programm DB2ADUTL.EXE ? (After hours of search we found and did run it and TSM marked the specified version as INACTIVE ! YES ... he did it.!!) Second - Is the "show versions" Command undocumented ? I didn't find anything in der TSM Books (for OS/390!) Third - The "show versions" Command shows us => /EDVRTEST : ÖNODEÖ FULL_BACKUP.20010125094902.1 (MC: DB2) Active, Inserted 2001-01-25 09:45:02 ObjId: 0.71406338 /EDVRTEST : ÖNODEÖ FULL_BACKUP.20010125120404.1 (MC: DB2) Active, Inserted 2001-01-25 12:00:06 ObjId: 0.71406339 and so on so all our Versions are really Active - AND they are bound to the requested MC (DB2!) After using the programm DB2ADUTL.EXE one version was marked as inactive as described before. So I think the db2adutl.exe is the answer, do you think so too ? -- Gerhard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Nicholas Cassimatis) am 05.02.2001 20:09:40 Bitte antworten an [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: (Blindkopie: Gerhard Wolkerstorfer/DEBIS/EDVG/AT) Thema:Re: DB2/2 Backup and Policy Two things, the first one being the biggie - the DB2 Admin HAS to run the commands to have the backups expire - otherwise they stay active forever. If you do a "show versions NODENAME /DATABASENAME" you can see all the versions of the backups. If they all show Active, then the DBA isn't running the delete command. The second thing is, in the "show versions" output, you will see the management class it's defined to (MC:name). If it's not the one you want to use, there's another problem. On my DB2 systems (running on AIX, but it should work the same), I have a statement in my include/exclude statement like this: include /DATABASENAME DB2 That binds the database backups to the specified management class. This way I don't have to depend on the DBA, should they make any changes to their configuration. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm one cookie away from happy." - Snoopy (Charles Schulz)

Did not try that, but you would probably want to take the /etc/adsm/SpaceMan/config/dsmmigfstab to the new system. But you have a problem then: The format of that file has changed between 3.1 and 3.7: A new column has been added. It would probably be easiest to start with 3.1.0.7 on the new system, import the HSM file system, and upgrade afterwards. The upgrade should adopt the dsmmigfstab. (During an upgrade to 3.7 I tried last year, the dsmmigfstab was NOT adopted. This prevented dsmautomig to start, it core dumped. See APAR IC28935.) If you want to start directly with 4.1, you would have to add a '-' at the end of each line in the dsmmigfstab using your favorit editor. > > 3.

Re: Export/Import Data between servers
Hi, to import the node onto the target server you need to define the target server as a server to itself. Also you need to have the storage pool name defined on your target server that was defined on the source OR you need to predefine the node in a domain/policy/mgmtclass/copygroup that points to another storage pool. Something like: DEFINE SERVER TARGET SERVERPASS=XXX HLA=100.100.100.100 LLA=1500 NODENAME=SOURCE PASSWORD=XXX DEFINE DEV TARGET DEVT=SERVER SERVERNAME=TARGET MAXCAP=2G Where the HLA is your target server IP address. Then your import should be along the lines of: IMPORT NODE * DEVCLASS=TARGET VOLUME=TARGET.EXP.987654321 The self reference makes the naming conventions a bit wierd, I hope you can follow this. The server to server redbook has quite a bit on this procedure if I remember correctly.

Re: High CPU utilization on AIX SP node with 1 gig memory
Here's a shot in the dark: We run AIX 4.3.3 as our TSM server (H50 w/1gb mem) and have run into the following anomoly - any user who tries to bring up the admin web gui using IE5.0 under Win4.0 workstation generates several "phantom" client sessions, indicated by "?" when you do a Q SESS. More than 2 of these phantoms would drive our H50 cpu up to 100% and nail it there. Cancelling the phantom sessions brings things back to normal. Uprgrading to IE5.5 fixed the problem, but we have had scattered problems then bringing up client web sessions. This might not be your problem but it's worth a check.

The filesystem size hasn't changed, just the data held for it has. If you do a "query occupancy" (q occ) against this node, the space used by this filesystem should show the reduction.

How to DELETE backupfiles from BACKUPEXEC
We are using BACKUPEXEC's ADSM option to backup EXCHANGE. Everything is working fine, so we can backup and restore files to the diskpools of ADSM. The only problem we have is that we only see the space growing on the ADSM server for the BACKUPEXEC node. We tried removing the tapes and erase the tapes but the space used on ADSM remains the same.

Re: Failed Schedules Show Completed Successful
That is the opposite of the bug that I mentionied. The bug I mentioned is if the schedule fails on 3.7 or 4.1 (fixed in 4.12) then the client will say the event completed successfully and send those results to the server. So this means that you could have schedules that are failing and not know it unless you are checking the local schedule and error logs. A simple test that anyone can do to see if they are affected by this is to setup a schedule to perform a selective backup of a filespace that does not exist on the client. TSM should report this as a failed event (and it does on 3.1.06 and 4.1.2) but reports as successfull with 3.7-4.11.16) 4.11.16 Client: - 02/08/2001 09:41:33 Selective Backup function invoked. 02/08/2001 09:41:38 ANS1228E Sending of object 'J:\*' failed 02/08/2001 09:41:38 ANS1063E Invalid path specification 02/08/2001 09:41:40 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN 02/08/2001 09:41:40 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT END @310 02/08/2001 09:44:19 02/08/2001 09:41:40 Scheduled event '@310' completed successfully. - 4.12 Client - 02/08/2001 09:44:43 Selective Backup function invoked. 02/08/2001 09:44:44 ANS1228E Sending of object 'J:\*' failed 02/08/2001 09:44:44 ANS1063E Invalid path specification 02/08/2001 09:44:46 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN 02/08/2001 09:44:46 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT END @309 02/08/2001 09:44:00 02/08/2001 09:44:46 ANS1512E Scheduled event '@309' failed.

Antwort: TSM and 3494 Library Sharing
Hallo Alex, I've just installed two SUN E450 using TSM 4.1.2 sharing one IBM 3494 with 800 slots 3590E cartridges. You cannot share all tapes for both servers. You have to define different categories during library definition on each server. Then check in a number of volumes into each library. You will see only the volumes belonging to that server. So, it's not really library sharing, only for drives. But you can check-out/check-in scratch volumes, if it is nessessary.

Re: Hung Sessions
If you generated this backup using the immediate action schedule, you will have to delete this schedule to keep it from trying to reconnect. find out the @__ schedule number by using "Q SCH"and enter "DEL SCH ", example "DEL SCH STANDARD @79". Then when you cancel the running schedule, it will stay cancelled. Probably by now it is gone because it has passed the default timeframe anyway, but keep this in mind for future reference.

We let a background script run that queries the 3494 using mtlib commands to see what tapes are in "insert" status. We then process the AIX range of tapes and issue checkins for those. I rarely if ever issue a manual checkin command. Tom Melton Emory HealthCare Emory University >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/08/01 12:15PM >>> You need to make sure that your CHECKIN commands on each server use the VOLRANGE parameter. When you put tapes in the 3494, they are placed in the insertion catagory and the first 'host' to grab them get them. So you could possibly checkin serverA's tapes in for serverB and write over good data. For my AIX TSM Server, I create a server script that has the CHECKIN command with all my parameters. I then schedule this in an admin schedule to run daily after I know the operators have done tape rotation. TSM won't let you actually schedule a checkin command, but you can imbed it in a script and schedule the script. Also, this is the only command I run to manually check tapes in...RUN CHECKIN (CHECKIN is my script name). This way I make sure that I'm not going to checkin some other servers' tapes. We use a naming convention for out tape volsers. R0-R9 is for the AIX server, and M0-M9 is for our OS/390 systems.

import node into a different domain
Hi, I have several node definitions I want to move from serverA to serverB, also changing the name of the domains as I go. Seems plausible. I have done export node filedata=none and then import node with dom=new which successfully does nothing at all and imports nothing. I can only get it to import if I specify a domain exactly like on the original server. I thought that specifying dom=xxx on import would override what was in the export file? I have tried with/without replacedefs option. Am I missing something obvious here?

Re: TSM and 3494 Library Sharing
You need to make sure that your CHECKIN commands on each server use the VOLRANGE parameter. When you put tapes in the 3494, they are placed in the insertion catagory and the first 'host' to grab them get them. So you could possibly checkin serverA's tapes in for serverB and write over good data. For my AIX TSM Server, I create a server script that has the CHECKIN command with all my parameters. I then schedule this in an admin schedule to run daily after I know the operators have done tape rotation. TSM won't let you actually schedule a checkin command, but you can imbed it in a script and schedule the script. Also, this is the only command I run to manually check tapes in...RUN CHECKIN (CHECKIN is my script name). This way I make sure that I'm not going to checkin some other servers' tapes.

MagStar Tape Library #3575 vs. LTO
We are reaching storage capacity limit in our current MagStar Tape Library. We have TSM 3.7 (will upgrade to 4.1 later in the summer). Our TSM environment is in an AIX environment. We have 6 RS/6000 AIX nodes on an SP switch and about 30 NT servers that we back up nightly. We are looking at upgrading or adding on to our existing library. One option our vendor would like us to consider is the use of a LTO system. He said that although it is not quite as fast our as MagStar the storage capacity on the tapes are 100 gig native and 200 gig compressed. Does anyone have any opinions on that? Thanks.

Re: MagStar Tape Library #3575 vs. LTO
Unfortunately, this is almost a no-brainer: 10 GB per cartridge vs. perhaps 200 GB per cartridge. Unless you really need sub 20 second access to data, you almost have to go LTO. Magstar is not cost effective given the 20X increase in capacity with LTO. We've seen mount times of about 40 seconds. I've not personally seen time-to-data so I can't comment on that. I would guess it will be in the one to two minute range. Once on data, it should be pretty fast with the expected stop/start time caveats if the data is highly fragmented on the tape. I'm about 80% go on LTO in almost all situations. If you are not tied specifically to an IBM product, take a look at AIT libraries from Qualstar. Qualstar also has LTO libraries that might fit your needs. Qualstar is using HP LTO drives rather than IBM drives. This is primarily due to the greater heat generated by the IBM product, or so I'm told. I've seen and played with both the IBM 3583 and 3584. I really liked the 3584. Excellent expansion capability and from what I can tell, fairly economical. And I love the 3494 and the 3584 is very similar. I think it's time to let your Magstar die. Kelly J.

Re: MagStar Tape Library #3575 vs. LTO
Go to http://search.adsm.org and do a search on LTO. It will pull up the comments that everyone has made on the list concerning LTOs. We were considering going to LTO vs upgrading our Magstars, but it turns out that it would cost twice as much as doing that. Though the drives are cheap, the libraries certainly aren't. What kind of Magstar drives are you using? Look at upgrading to the extended cartridges, if possible.

Re: MagStar Tape Library #3575 vs. LTO
Hi LuAnn, we are also in the exact same situation. We backup a large database and many smaller filesystems. We also have and SP and L32 3575. My thoughts are this: keep the magstar _and_ buy LTO. I plan to use LTO for the database backups (few but large files) and my offsite storage pool. Then keep using the magstar for the many, but smaller filesystem files.

Re: tape mount retention behaviour
I have had problems with tapes that won't dismount immediately and in fact take over 1/2 hour to dismount... they will show "dismounting" if you do a 'q mount'. Basically, there is a problem with the thread processes and this was a known bug that was supposed to be fixed with TSM 3.7.4 (supposedly). I am runnin 3.7.3.6 and have this problem if I halt / start the system and reclamation puts all 6 of my drives in my 3575 L32 into use at once. Then , as I said, they will not dismount until the thread processes time out... I asked Tivoli support what alternatives I had and they suggested upgrading to 3.7.4 or newer version of TSM.

When I'm doing something like a simultaneous migration of 3 storage pools to 2 tape drives, the behavior I observed, in the past, is that when the first migration completes, it tape was not unmounted until the mount retention period expires. Thus the third migration has to wait the mount retention period before it could get a tape. I get around this by reducing the mount retention to zero during those process that create tape queueing. I will have to check if this behavior still exists in my current level.

Re: Hung Sessions
George, If I understand you correctly, you generated this backup by issuing the "define clientaction" command, then TSM goes out and builds a temporary "schedule" to run it in. Doing a "Q SCH" or select from the client_schedules table should show you an entry like "@79" in the schedule_name field. This is the schedule that needs to be deleted before you cancel the session, so that it does not pop back up again.

Re: tape mount retention behaviour
I also have a 3575 and most of thsi "dismounting" may be due to rebuilding the VCR on the tape header. (This is something used by Magstar tapes). If you check actlog during this time you will propbably see an entry for the tape that "dismount may be delayed" due to rebuilding the VCR on the tape. I have easily seen this take 10 minutes when it happens. I have probably had a few go 20-30 minutes.

Server to Server
Hello All I have a problem with sending copies of primary stg pool using server to server. I have a source server defined on a target server that I am able to send nightly DB backups to the target server...I have everything defined and have the node registered as a server on the target server. The devclass=server. No problems there. I am encountering problems when attempting to send copies of primary storg pools. I have set up a stg pool type=copy that the devclass is assigned to a devclass=server. When I attempt to "backup stg NT_Logs cpy_pool" I see a message in the activity log that states ANR1221E BACKUP STGPOOL: Process 12 terminated insufficient space in target copy storage pool. I was under the assumption that the stg pool I created on the source server is just a stg pool with no disk space defined. Since this stg pool is type=copy the definition of the devclass points the copy of the storage pool to the target server.I have assigned the node to its own policy domain which only contains two policy sets and two mgmt classes and one archive copy group and one backup copygroup. What am I missing. Thx Arturo
Re: tape mount retention behaviour
>...the tape that "dismount may be delayed" due to rebuilding the VCR >on the tape. > >Priorities can't bypass this - I think it is more a tape media/drive >issue than *SM... Good thought, David. As you say, the Activity Log should reflect such a problem. If a Volume Control Region problem, be aware that it is always due to defective drive microcode, and so you'd need to have your CE boost the microcode to a known-good level to rid yourself of the problem. (Once a year or so, a defective microcode release seems to make it out into the field, causing problems like these.) Richard Sims, BU
Db backup tapes
Hello We are using TSM 4.1 on win 2k. We do not have DRM yet. Now the TSM db gets backed up on tape, and we take that tape offsite. Is there any copy of that db onsite also.

Re: Db backup tapes
Well, Raminder! No, there is not a copy of the dbbackup on-site. That is why you perform, let's say 1 or 2 full dbbackups once a week and incrementals every night. Also, that is where the LOGMODE of ROLLFORWARD comes into play which would allow you to restore the db to its most current state. When you send tapes off-site that does include the dbbackup tape as well, along with a copy of the volhist and the devconfig files. Dbbackups are controlled with certain volhist commands for example, query volhist begind=date etc...update volhist volume_name dev=device class location=DRsite ormstate=vault Hope this helps a little, Demetrius Malbrough TSM Consultant -Original Message- From: Braich, Raminder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Db backup tapes Hello We are using TSM 4.1 on win 2k.

Re: MagStar Tape Library #3575 vs. LTO
A couple of things about IBM's LTO: 1. The life span of LTO is less then that of 3590 (3590 7yrs 3580 4-5yrs(I think)) 2. Currently LTO writes data in 384 Track format compared to 3590B1X at 128 Track and 3590E1X at 256 Track. This does 2 things for LTO. Increased data capacity (good and more chance of unrecoverable media errors (bad 3. LTO is much cheaper then 3590. 3590 and LTO are not really in the same league. LTO was introduced to be a obvious alternative to DLT, not 3590. 4. Access time on 3590 drives is much better. Basically, if your business requirements do not require you to keep archived data for 7 years (SEC requirements for Brokerage/Banks) then LTO may be the solution If you can deal with the slight performance loss. If you decide 3590 is the way to go look into IBM's new "starfire" drives. They are not available yet but coming very soon. They are the size of a LTO drive using 3590 (J/K Carts) media and many enhancements. They will also be cheaper then the current 3590 B/EXX drives. Also they will work very well with IBM's 3584 Tape Library. Much much much faster robotics then the 3494. Hope this helps...

Re: High CPU utilization on AIX SP node with 1 gig memory
Sorry for not responding earlier. Been rather busy. Just to clear a few things up. This machine does not have the TSM server code on it. It just has the 4.1.2 client code. The machine has 4 CPU's. Before starting an incremental backup the CPUs are more that 50% idle. When a TSM incremental starts up the CPUs are 0-5% idle. Some of the hdisks are 100% busy and I/O wait is > 80%. I'm not the actual admin of the machine, just a TSM resource who is getting posed the question and am not sure what things to look at for high CPU utilization issues.

Re: Linking RMAN to ADSM
I always like the command
find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \;
and
find / -name libobk.a -exec what {} \;
The first searches for all occurences of libobk.a and lists them in long
format so
that you can see if your links are correct. You should rename Oracle's
libobk.a disk
library file.
The second makes sure that the libobk.a is the right version.
All you need is a soft link in the Oracle directory to /usr/lib/libobk.a
which should in
turn point to the tsm directory where the TDP for Oracle library file
resides.

Subject: Linking RMAN to ADSM
I am trying to set up RMAN 8.1.6 to communicate with ADSM/TDP. At one point
I was able to do an RMAN tablespace backup to tape and then was also able to
do a restore. Now when I try to get a tape backup it goes to disk. In the
RMAN output it tells me it is using the Oracle Test Disk API. There are
other errors, but I suspect that this is the problem. I have tried shutting
down the databases and removing the soft link and relinking (soft).
One thing I noticed when I do :
ldd oracle|grep libobk.so
I get nothing back. Shouldn't I be seeing something here?
Also can anyone explain what the BACKUP_DIR environment variable?
Thank You

Re: High CPU utilization on AIX SP node with 1 gig memory
James, Look for the parameter 'RESOURCEUTILIZATION' in the dsm.sys file. If it's there start reducing the number. Remember to restart the scheduler.

4.1.2.0 troubles with national lang again
Hi,
are there two separate development groups for clients 4.1.2.0 and 3.x.x?
There are the same troubles with national characters as in early v 3
versions:
1. Message ANS1304W ("Active object not found") when expiring
directories with names containing national characters.
2. You cannot use GUI to restore files in directories with names
containing national characters, you cannot display the contents of such
directories. The command line client does it.
You see the correct directory name in the restore menu's explorer
window, but in the last line of the window ("Displaying
\\xyz\filespace\directory") you see e.g. superscript 3 instead of german
ue.
Can we once again expect a special one-time-client to correct the
problem (as in v 3?)
(OS is NT 4 german, USEUNICODEFilenames is set to no).
Regards
Gerhard Ginzler
