After some starting problems the client is now able to backup. But now I've got the following problem: At my dsm.sys file in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin I set the passwordaccess to prompt. All works fine. But when I change the passowordaccess to generate the passwordverification fails. The passwordrequired parameter at the util-file is set to no (like it is discribed at the documentation). So, I changed the password for the client at the server. I start dsmc with root-user and tipe the new password. So far so good. Now I run the command 'backint -p initSYS.utl -f password' to set the password for TDP. But it failes. Are there any ideas why my normal dsmc session works and the backint call failed? TIA Wolfgang

William Boyer wrote: > I'm already having a tough sell on the TDP agent to the Notes admins. They > seem to think that we can't use the Agent unless they turn on logging. If logging is turned off, you can use the TDP for Domino agent to do incremental or selective backups; incremental backups will backup all database files that have changed since the last backup, and selective backups will backup all files. If you turn circular logging on, you can only do selective backups. Period. If you turn archival logging on, you can do incremental or selective backups. If you do incrementals, you need to backup both the database files and the transactions logs, because the only database files that will get backed up during an incremental backup are those who have a DB ID number that has changed since the last backup. Let me repeat. Running incremental backups of Domino using TDP while archival logging is turned on will *not* backup a database file just because data has been added or altered. Instead, the transactions logs can be backed up. I went round and round with Tivoli Support on this for a couple of months, until I finally hooked up with a level 2 tech who knew something about TDP for Domino. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

merging two servers (export server)
Hi ! One of our customers (Airbus Industries) wants to merge two TSM-Server. Is it possible to import the second server via the following steps ? - export server (on server two) - move the library from the second server to the first - create entries for the library/stgpools and so on - import server (on server one) Is this correct ? Any other suggestions ?

No, not really. Tivoli is large enough, they may have many TSM administrators in different areas and roles with varying levels of expertise. Back when I worked in the VM development lab within IBM, there were dozens or even hundreds of internal VM systems, and they were just like external customers as far as the developers were concerned. Some of them were valued beta test sites, just like some externals were, and there were varying levels of expertise among the internal customers. Once you have enough internal customers of a product, developers can't favor internal customers just because they're internal. I hope TSM is long past that penetration level within Tivoli. :-) > This is an issue that has been one that has generated much > discussion on and off with regards to the benefits and costs of > attempting to reorganize a TSM database, and one on which we have > never had much of a substantive response from anyone within > Tivoli, either in this forum or in the documentation of these > commands in the manuals. Which only implies that to Tivoli, this problem isn't severe enough yet to justify the amount of effort it will take to come up with some conclusive response. Maybe they fear that a conclusive response will elude them, or maybe it's simply that our friends within Tivoli have two dozen issues that are even more important for the financial success of the product(s) in someone's judgment. > I would have thought that the people at Tivoli would be the best > source for information of this type.

Just like "the people" at Dreamworks are the best source about upcoming cinema releases? :-)I'm sure there are some folks at Tivoli who have the best resources and the best knowledge about TSM if someone decides this is an issue that needs to be resolved. I hope they reach that decision quickly. But to start panicking because a Tivoli person publicly asks a question that other "real" customers have asked seems excessive. > -- Tom > > Thomas A.

TSM/HSM problem writing to filesystem
We are experiencing a problem writing data to our HSM-managed filesystem. The HSM-managed filesystem is on the same system as the server, which is running AIX 4.3.3, TSM Server 4.1.3, TSM Client 4.1.2. Although there is plenty of available disk space in the HSM-managed filesystem and it is nowhere near its migration threshold, we are experiencing errors when trying to create files in the filesystem. For example, hostname>cp SOL-002 sol cp: sol: There is not enough memory available now. hostname> ./testlooper dd: write error: Not enough space Attempts to retrieve files off of the HSM tapes also result in an error: ANS9283K Tivoli Space Manager is recalling a migrated file. ANS9285K Cannot complete remote file access. I looked up ANS9285K in the Messages Manual - it says to check if the server has been disabled. The server is up and running and has been running backups successfully, including those on the HSM-managed filesystem. There is 500 Megabytes of free memory on the server just now. Errors don't occur for every file in the filesystem. The errors just started happening yesterday. There are no errors in errpt, console log, or dsm logs. Our db and log are not full, there are available tapes. Any ideas what the problem/solution might be? -- Mary Stephenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Academic Computing & Network Services Florida State University

PROBLEM IN MIGRATION FROM SEQUENTIAL DISK POOL TO TAPEPOOL.
Hi I recently ran reclamation and migration for tapepool .Disk sequential access pool was used as reclaim pool for tapepool.And migration kicks off at required thresholds. But after migration is complete its leaves some data in disk sequential pool. Though migration is limited at 0% lower limit on disk pool with next pool as tape pool. My problem is why it does not migrate the end volume data and keeps little data in it. Its sequential disk access pool.Becuase IBM has given it as single drive solution. They are doing research on problem.Can any one help me pl.] Advance thanx BALANAND PINNI. PHONE 314-206-5911. EM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PG:1-800-451-6897. PINNI, BALANAND (SBCSI).vcf

>Though migration is limited at 0% lower limit on disk pool with next pool as >tape pool. > >My problem is why it does not migrate the end volume data and keeps little >data in it. Balanand - I wonder if you are encountering the situation described under the description of the LOwmig operand in DEFine STGpool, in the Admin Ref manual: "When the storage pool reaches the low migration threshold, the server does not start migration of files from another volume. You can set the low migration threshold to 0 to permit migration to empty the storage pool." They seem to be saying that if you tap it on the shoulder, via an UPDate STGpool command with LOwmig=0, that it might go on to address the remnants of the data. See if that does it, and let us know. In any case, it's a nuisance, so it's good that you reported it to Tivoli. It might be that migration stops when the amount drops to the decimal value 0.something, as opposed to integer 0.

Rene - Dwight's observation about your disk subsystem "losing data" sounds like it is the basis for your problem, regardless of brand. You indicated that you successfully performed a database restoral, and yet the ANR0981E message says the the server is detecting the database as incomplete - which is contradictory. It's like you in effect have "write-only" disk, where it happily takes data but is not actually storing it or returning it in Read operations. Get your operating system and hardware people involved, and have them look for error log indications of problems. They can use utilities or diagnostics to verify the voracity of the disk subsystem. Switch to a different type of disk if possible, if nothing else turns up, and try the restoral to that. Richard Sims, BU /

TDP for Oracle 2.2 released
The Oracle RMAN can perform: Full or tablespace backup of a database while it is online or offline Full database restore while it is online or offline Tablespace restore while database is offline Backups of archive log files Block level incremental backup RMAN API V2 Support Oracle 8.1 has introduced a new RMAN Media Management API V2, which is supported by Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle, V2.2. RMAN Duplex Copy Feature Support Oracle8i RMAN V2.0 has new functionality. One such feature is Duplex Backup Copy, which permits the customer to make multiple copies of a backup on different media. This feature can be enabled by defining multiple management classes in the Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle, V2.2 option file. Multi-Buffering of RMAN Data Transfers During a backup, the network is often the bottleneck. Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle, V2.2 introduces a new option to turn on multi-buffering. If this option is used, the data buffers sent from RMAN are saved in Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle internal buffers, instead of being sent directly to the Tivoli Storage Manager server across the network. Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle then starts a new thread which will pick up these internal buffers and send them to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. In this way, RMAN does not need to wait for each actual data transfer to be completed via the network before reading more data. In many cases, this buffering can increase backup performance. New Synchronization Utility The synchronization utility in Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle, V2.2 will make more space available on the Tivoli Storage Manager server by identifying and removing backups that have been deleted from the Oracle catalog. When deleting backup sets using Oracle8 RMAN, in earlier RMAN versions, RMAN deletes the recovery catalog entries before receiving confirmation from the Tivoli Storage Manager server. In the case where deletion from the server was not successful, these backup sets are no longer identifiable through the recovery catalog. Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle includes a new utility that reconciles these discrepancies by displaying and, optionally, deleting files that exist on the Tivoli Storage Manager server but are no longer in the recovery catalog, allowing the user to reclaim lost space on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Additional Usability Enhancements The new configuration utility makes setup of Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle easier than ever before. A new options file centralizes information for setup. Environment variables are no longer needed. This simplifies the establishment of multiple sessions, and significantly reduces the opportunity for human error associated with entering environmental variables for individual sessions. In addition, the new tdpoconf utility will be a great help in solving problems that can be associated with setup. For example, if the password file is not initialized properly, tdpoconf will report this error immediately, and so remove the complications that can result if this error goes undetected. New 64-bit Support for Sun Solaris 8 and HP-UX 11 Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle continues our customer commitment by adding 64-bit support for Solaris 8 and HP-UX 11 in this release. Effective Use of the Power of Tivoli Storage Manager The Tivoli Storage Manager server's capabilities include: Access to a storage hierarchy Migration (server Hierarchical Storage Management or HSM) through the storage hierarchy Management of tape media space Disaster recovery support including off-site management of tapes During operation of Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle, the Tivoli Storage Manager server manages the location of every object and manages the devices. If additional space savings are desired in cases of very high redo log file activity, customers can take advantage of the Hierarchical Storage Management functions on the Tivoli Storage Manager AIX or Solaris clients by ordering the Space Management product, 5698-SPM. Refer to the Reference Information section to obtain ordering information for Space Management. LAN-free Support The Tivoli Storage Manager Managed System for SAN feature provides the capability for LAN-free data transfer for Oracle8 and Oracle8i database data on Windows NT and Windows 2000. LAN-free data transfer exploits the SAN path by enabling Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle to backup and restore data from a SAN-attached tape library that can be shared by Windows NT and Windows 2000 Tivoli Storage Manager servers. Refer to the Reference Information section to obtain ordering information for the Tivoli Storage Manager Managed System for SAN feature for the Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms. ___ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/

Re: Help ! server not starting any more
dOES THIS INFO HELP Error Description: During UPGRADEDB while installing the lvl2.0 of the MVS-server cust got error msg's: anr0101e idgroup(283) : error 11 opening table "interface.tasks" anrd httree(1891): error querying id group members. This did not came up while following 'normal' starts of the server ANRIDL had been run previously when the server was migrated and was not rerun at this time. ** Customer is uncertain to work with this database. ADSM docs do not contain information about actions required for this problem. Local Fix: Run ANRIDL after UPGRADEDB to avoid the problem. Problem Summary: * USERS AFFECTED: * All ADSM Server are effected. * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * When starting the ADSM server in the upgrade DB mode a couple of ANR messages stating that the interface.task table could not be opened followed by a message stating a error occure while quering a group. Yes, there is a problem, but the problem does not indicate a database failure. The problem is that the task table for the ADSM interface was not created but the server is in the process of creating the table. Better known as the chicken and egg problem. * RECOMMENDATION: * Install PTF when available. The problem of looking for a table as it is being created has been fixed. This code fix will turn off the support while the server is upgrading the database or processing a dsmserv runfile command. A new message was also added to inform the customer about the ADSM IDL defs not being installed. On some platforms the install package does not issue the command to install the defs. -Original Message- From: Richard Sims [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 10:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Help ! server not starting any more >Thanks Dwight, but we use Escon Hitachi discs. > >I am in real trouble, Restore gives > >ANR0101E ICVOLHST(2394): Error 11 opening table "Seq.Volume.History". >ANR2032E RESTORE DB: Command failed - internal server error detected. > >and starting the server gives > >ANR0981E The ADSM server database must be restored before the server >can be started. !!! Rene - Dwight's observation about your disk subsystem "losing data" sounds like it is the basis for your problem, regardless of brand. You indicated that you successfully performed a database restoral, and yet the ANR0981E message says the the server is detecting the database as incomplete - which is contradictory. It's like you in effect have "write-only" disk, where it happily takes data but is not actually storing it or returning it in Read operations. Get your operating system and hardware people involved, and have them look for error log indications of problems. They can use utilities or diagnostics to verify the voracity of the disk subsystem. Switch to a different type of disk if possible, if nothing else turns up, and try the restoral to that. Richard Sims, BU /

Hello Rene I second the others on calling the tsm support folks for help. In the mean time. Can you show us the restore command that you used. Did you get the error on the seq.volume.history file right after the command was issued or after the restore was running for a while. For some of the optional methods that the restore db command can be set up with, the command will try to read the seq.volume.history file to find the correct volume or volumes required for the data base restores. If the file was not available ( wrong dd statements, corrupted, etc) then the restore could fail.

Re: Second set of tapes
>Yes, I did not use TSM to remove the old tapes. How should that be done? I >did checkin the new ones as scratch yes, is that a problem also? Use CHECKOut LIBVolume for volumes which are to be taken out of use, as is the case for Offsite tapes. Use MOVe MEDia for the type of removal which is done to free library slots, but which leaves the tapes requestable and mountable by TSM. (The poor-man's DRM.) Checking in the new volumes as Scratch is the right thing to do. TSM remains confused about the state of the old tapes. You need to have TSM regard the old tapes as no longer eligible for processing. Read about the various methods of removing tapes to choose the one most appropriate to your needs. Depending upon library type, you might use the Remove=No keyword to logically do what you have already physically done. Or possibly do 'UPDate Volume ... ACCess=OFfsite'. Richard Sims, BU

Balanand - I wonder if you are encountering the situation described under the description of the LOwmig operand in DEFine STGpool, in the Admin Ref manual: "When the storage pool reaches the low migration threshold, the server does not start migration of files from another volume. You can set the low migration threshold to 0 to permit migration to empty the storage pool." They seem to be saying that if you tap it on the shoulder, via an UPDate STGpool command with LOwmig=0, that it might go on to address the remnants of the data. See if that does it, and let us know. In any case, it's a nuisance, so it's good that you reported it to Tivoli. It might be that migration stops when the amount drops to the decimal value 0.something, as opposed to integer 0.

Will any files expire >after the 365 days, >or will all of the files previously backed up use the new retention policy? Jeff - The archived files conform to your most recent setting for retention period. I had much the same situation myself, where it was originally decided that archive files would be kept for a year - and 10 months into that year it was decided to keep them for years longer. Two and a half years later, we still have all the files that were archived, from the very first ones, onward. Thinking in the other direction, there is certainly opportunity for disaster, if someone unfamiliar with TSM administration came along while you were on vacation and change the retention to 30 days. That could be a long-running and quite thorough expiration run. Richard Sims, BU
Re: Reducing/compressing the database
This reminds me of the tech support story where a guy is trying getting errors on a server he is working on, and the errors say to have the SysAdmin run a chkdsk/f (yes, it's been a while). He calls the helpdesk, who tell him, "Have the SysAdmin run chkdsk/f." So he bitches and complains about how the Admin should fix this. He goes on and on, and finally decides to tell his manager about it. He lays out his whole story, to which his manager says, "You are the SysAdmin." As a team lead, I cringe when I see a question from someone on my team out here on the list that hasn't been brought to me. Luckily, the team I have now hasn't had this issue, but in the past I'd see rather simple "how to" questions out here from people who could have opened their office door and asked me. I never expect people to know everything, but knowing the best place to look for answers is appreciated. In addition, for all the experience that I have, and all the tricks that I know, I still see new ideas and different ways of looking at things on this list, and learn something every day.

Re: WIndows NT Disaster Recovery
Shekhar, I'm not sure How things are progressing at your site but Read this once again and see if it makes any sense. This procedure should get you back UP and Running if you meet all the criteria. With the ADSM REGREST command, you can restore only the most recent version of the registry. It is not possible to restore an inactive version of the registry. The Manual process of restoring old versions is straightforward: 1. Select the files in the ADSM GUI. Be careful to select files from one backup only. Do not mix the files by selecting files from different backups. 2. Restore the files to their original location, which in this case is the adsm.sys directory. 3. You will get a warning that the files already exist, but replace them all. 4. Start the registry restore. From within the ADSM GUI use the Restore Registry command in the Utilities menu or from the ADSM CLIENT use REGBACK ENTIRE. 5. Be sure that you check the Activate Key after Restore box in the dialog window. 6. The ADSM client tries to restore the latest version of the files into the adsm.sys directory, but this time, do not allow replacement of the files on your disk. This will guarantee that the older files will remain on the disk. 7.

When you install Ghost, it creates a boot disk that contains variety of drivers including Ghost program. The disk is designed to be universally compatible so it works on most of the NT servers. Once you boot that server with this functional disk, you can create an image file of the disk or partition containing windows operating system and applications. You could also tell the program to place that image ona disk, CD or multiple CD's. It has different levels of compression levels built within the program. You could also make the CD where you place an image to be a bootable CD. While restoring, you simply insert the CD into the drive and boot from it. Youer server will automatically load ghost from the CD, and the files from the Backup set will be available right aaway. This process also works from outside windows, you don't have to go through installing operating system.

Re: merging two servers (export server)
No. Each TSM server has it's own data base. There is no way to merge two TSM data bases. What you would have to do is to EXPORT each of the clients from server A, then IMPORT them individually into server B. What a lot of people do, is just point the clients from server A to server B, and let them take new, full backups to server B, essentially starting them over. Then they only do the EXPORT/IMPORT for any clients where it's important to retain the old data, or archived data, as the EXPORT/IMPORT process is relatively slow. You can of course, disconnect the library from server A, and reconnect/use it on server B. And another thing you can do (at least on a UNIX server, don't know about Windows) , is MOVE server A to the same host as server B, and run both instances of the TSM server on the same host. There is not a lot of benefit to doing that, but it would give you some extra time to work on merging the two systems via EXPORT/IMPORT, if you need to get rid of server A quickly.

Re: Advice
If I understand what you are asking then this will work. If you put 2nd NIC in TSM server, then on the client that you want to talk on that NIC, put the IP of the 2nd TSM server NIC (replacing the current IP address) in the dsm.sys or dsm.opt depending on client platform. Then from the client, initiate session to server and it should then talk on that NIC and the server will reply to the IP that client came in on and should use that new NIC according to standard OS level IP routing as they are on same subnet.

Yes. TSM works on multiple interfaces. Just configure the interfaces and go. APA (autoport aggregation) is also available on 4.3.3 AIX A totally switch backbone can push the bottle neck to the disk subsystem and software. Though a lot on interesting things can be done to speed things even further. I use multiple interface currently. (no auto port aggregation yet though) Other ideas are gigabit and jumbo frames.

Re: Expiration of DbBackup, Volhist and Libvolume status.
Good question. Offhand, I can't think of anything that would cause it to happen specifically to DBBackup tapes. TSM will change the status of a tape from SCRATCH to PRIVATE if it has trouble mounting the tape, so it can move on to the next scratch tape. And I don't think the LastUse field is updated util the tape is used again (unless the tapes are checked out). But if it is a mounting problem, it should hit scratch pool tapes, too. FYI, I have a script that once a month pulls a list of libv tapes and stgpool tapes and compare them, to find tapes that are like this - i.e., no valid data but in PRIVATE status caused by a mount failure. . -Original Message- From: Talafous, John G.

Re: Advice
You can also use a direct connection. run a cable from one system to another. The wires on the end of the cable have to be changed to allow this connection. This is probably the fastest. MTU sizes can be defined ... etc. The switch idea works really well though even for 100 clients database clients.

Does APA need certain filesets installed or need to be turned on. Or is it on by default.

Runaway CPU
Anyone seen this? Every so often I see two(2) sessions appear when I QUERY SESSION that appear to come from a WebBrowser platform with a Client Name "?". When this happens the CPU utilization begins to climb and with 3 of these sessions the CPU can be will into the 80% range or highter.. It always seems to appear in pairs. I think it may be spawned by some command I'm issuing from the command line, but I don't know which one. When I notice the 'happening' and cancel the sessions, the CPU comes right down and all is well. Has any on else seen this happen? AIX platform, TSM 4.1.2 and I'm generally logged in via the Web interface when it occurs. Sam Schrage TRW 615-360-4716 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Advice
In the client dsm.sys (UNIX) change the tcpserveraddress to point to the other interfaces. You can do this on a perclient basis or balance the load. I have not done APA yet. I use multiple interfaces. ADSM listens on a port. Not an interface for the server. The IP address that contacts the server is the IP address that the server starts the backup on. The IP the data goes to is the IP in the dsm.sys file on the client. The server code runs behind a port not an IP. The port is also definable so multiple ADSM Server instance can run on one system.

Re: TSM/HSM problem writing to filesystem
I would also look into that direction. And: Is your filesystem "large file enabled"? I vaguely remember having read about possible problems, when a large file enabled filesystem is crowded with small files (and the stubs are small). Something in the sense, that free space actually exists but cannot be used.
