Re: Ultrium media
Before we got proper labels we made a bunch of labels on a crappy $200 colour inkjet printer using light card that are stuck on with a glue stick, they are hand cut so they are slightly crooked. I can definitely say they none of them had problems (except a couple labels fell off when we used inferior glue). Most of those tapes are still use in the library. That barcode reader is top notch. We had our computer operators do this during graveyard shift. We have purchased sheets of blank labels now so if we buy unlabeled tapes we don't need to cut them up. Out of 30+ HP tapes and 120 IBM ones I have 2 dud IBM tapes (I believe this was to do with microcode problems earlier on, I haven't retested since I upped to 1550). On this side of the world IBM tapes are actually cheaper so we keep buying those. Cheers, Suad -- > > We can get a better price on HP media.

Re: adsm 3.1 and stgpool reclaim threshold
I would search the activity log for all references to the stgpool of interest. You should see the command that does the update. Hopefully with the time stamp you can find the culprit.

General Protection Processor Exception (Error code 00000000) OS version: Novell NetWare 4.11
Hello everybody, is there anybody who have seen the problem discribed below. In order to solve here is an additional information. During the task that stops the funktionality of the processor, the backup client (Version 4.1.2) backuped the volume Sys: of the Novell Server Version 4.11 The task as you can see stops the main function of the cpu, so that the server runs during the 8h until it*%s booted again in an slow mode. I think that there is an failure in the Code of the module dsmc.nlm so that the task could not find an adress which is adressed by the clib.nlm. Does someone know this, if so please answer me.

Slow NT Restore
Hi We are trying to restore the C drive on a NT server 4.0 Service Pack 5. We have TCPIP 100 mb full duplex. The client is 3.1.0.8 and the server is 3.1.2.90 on AIX 4.3.2. We are observing very slow restore times. There is no waiting for tape mounts but when I query sessions wait times of some seconds are observed, almost as if it restores one file then goes off to do something else. So far it has taken 20 hours to restore 850mb. All directories are held on disk and they have been restored. Anyone got any ideas on how to speed this up, by a factor of 10 or so.

Re: General Protection Processor Exception (Error code 00000000) OS version: Novell NetWare 4.11
I had this problem on my 4.11 servers with TSM client 4.1.2.0. Per Tivoli I had to upgrade to client version 4.1.2.16. The other option was to stop running the dsmc scheduler & use cron to kick off my backups. So far they seem to be running ok. They have been running this version for about 2 weeks now. There seems to be a lot of problems with Netware & Tivoli. There is a version 4.1.2.18 available now. You might want to look into that.

Hi out there, I was just staring at my screen, as you do sometimes when out of the blue it displayed ANR0984I Process 585 for DELETE ARCHCONVERSION started in the BACKGROUND at 11:45:27. ANR0985I Process 585 for DELETE ARCHCONVERSION running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 11:45:27. Well apart from admiring the speed of the process, can anyone tell me what is happeining. I have not seen this before, and looking back in the activity log over the last month it has not occurred previously. I cannot find any reference in the manuals. This is on an OS390 TSM 3.7.20.0 host server, which at the time was running 2 reclamation processes and 3 client restore sessions.

Re: Slow NT Restore
Phil, Did you check the general network speed between the client and the server ( e.g. ftp put and get a large file ). If you are in a switched 100 mb network sometimes ( i saw it on our Compaq and RS6000 servers ) the autonegotiate port speed / mode does not work correct. We set all components ( server/client/switch-ports) manually to 100 mb full duplex and this solved the problem. just a hint but maybe it helps herfried Phil Stockton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@VM.MARIST.EDU> on 31.05.2001 12:23:06 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Slow NT Restore Hi We are trying to restore the C drive on a NT server 4.0 Service Pack 5.

Re: adsm 3.1 and stgpool reclaim threshold
1. try "q actlog begind=-2 s=recla" (or maybe s=100 or some other search string) to see when the reclamation threshold got reset. If you find that it happened at 15:00, then say "q actlog begind=-2 begint=14:55" to see who issued what command. That ought to shed some light. 2. I suggest you not set the disk pool's low migration threshold to 0. Set it to 5% or something. If it's zero, the first packet that lands in the disk pool kicks off migration, which completes immediately - then the next packet does the same thing, so migration thrashes crazily. > -Original Message- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Stephen Pole > Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 11:44 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: adsm 3.1 and stgpool reclaim threshold > > > Hi Steve, > > I have not seen this behaviour unless you have an entry in adminstrative > command schedules like the ones below:- > > To check this out do the following:- > > Log into the ADSM Web GUI > > Select > Object View > Automation > Adminstrative Command Schedules > > This will bring up the Automated command schedules that run by themselves > > They will more than likely look like this:- > > Update storage pool low=30 high=70 > > This is timed to start at say 19:00 hours every day of the week. > > During the day you can raise/lower the high water mark, but at 19:00 hours > the 70% mark will be reset by this schedule. > > For example, we like to have our data running to disk during the > day, so we > have a high water mark set as above. > > Now during the night (when there is less activity) another schedule lowers > the high water mark and low water mark to 0, then another > schedule at 06:00 > resets this to low=30 and high=70. > > It looks like this:- > > update storage pool low=0 high=0 > > This is timed for 19:00 every day of the week. > > BTW, we also do this before shutdown of the server, that is, we flush all > our pools to disk before a shutdown. > > Hope this helps Give us a call as I assume you are in Perth Western > Australia. > > > Stephen Pole > Operations Manager - PetroBank Asia Pacific > Level 4 IBM Centre > 1060 Hay Street > West Perth WA 6005 > Phone +61 9 9320 9000 > Mobile 040 247 9133 > > > email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > web : http://www.petrobankonline.com > > > > > > What happens is that > - Original Message - > From: "Steve de Souza" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 10:27 AM > Subject: adsm 3.1 and stgpool reclaim threshold > > > > Hi, > > Can anyone tell me if there are any conditions which will > > cause a copystorage stgpool to have it's reclaim threshold > > percentage to change to 100% ???

Re: TCP for Domino client
Patrick, Sorry if some of these questions seem silly, but sometimes the obvious is overlooked... 1. Are you certain the other backups succeeded? If you are seeing "active" backups from Day 1, then it would normally mean that no other "full" backups would have been done. Otherwise, the Day 1 active backups would have been replaced with the later backups and forced those to go inactive. If you are running "DOMDSMC incremental" type backups, then it is possible that those databases may have not changed since your first backup, and thus not been backed up again. Keep in mind, "DOMDSMC incremental" type backups will only back up logged databases if the DBIID has changed and non-logged databases if the internal "meta data date" or the internal "data data date" has changed. If you are running in a archival logging mode, your nightly changes are capturd by the "DOMDSMC ARCHivelog" command. 2. Are you certain they were going to the same TSM server? 3. Are you certain you are using the correct NODENAME? 4. What does the TSM Server show for the QUERY OCC nodename * command? Does it show the correct number of files that you expect? Keep in mind, this will show active and inactive files. 5. Can you see all of the backups when issuing the DOMDSMC Query DBBackup * /INACTIVE /SUBDIR=Yes command? 6. On the Windows GUI, did you choose "View-->Show active/inactive backups"? Also, keep in mind it does not matter where the backup data is kept, the database that holds the "information" about the backups is contained on the TSM Server database volumes (on local disk). TDP for Domino/TSM Server does not need to go to the "DLT tape" to see the backups, it only needs to look at the local database volumes. It only needs to go to the DLT tape if a restore is actually requested. Thanks, Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It's a beautiful day.

I have a single DLT tape drive and multiple days of backups (scheduled) but when I try to restore a db all I can see is the initial backup I did manually on day 1.

backing up DBs from filesystems
We are about to start backing up our enterprise databases. They are comprised of about 15 Oracle instances ranging from 7GB to 25GB. About a third are being backed up nightly and the others are either 1 or 2 times weekly. On the server side, we will set up a seperate stgpool hierarchy as they there will be expectations for QOS etc. (I will seperate them out onto a 2nd server later this year) There are no TDPs available (Dynix) so we have to use the command line client to backup. The DBAs run the database in backup mode and cpio the files to a staging area, then the TSM client will scoop them up. They want a 30day retention period with one backup a month kept for a year (acheived by a management class flag on dsmc) Question: Should we run incrementals or archive the files considering we have a date, as opposed to frequency, retention requirement?

Re: backing up DBs from filesystems
Suad, You can just set the VEREXIST and VERDELETED to "NOLIMIT". This removes version count from the algorithm, and retention is solely controlled by date. This is what Tivoli recommends if you intend to do Point In Time Restores. As long as you can control how many backups get done, it shouldn't be an issue...

DO IT WITH AN ARCHIVE ! ! ! A big reason is to keep "sets" of backups/archives complete...

Re: Antwort: TSM configuration questions
You can extend that argument almost forever... If you go to disk, you have a single point of failure until migration is done. If migration gets done, you still have single pint of failure until copy is made. Once copy is made, you are only protected against media failure until copy is sent offsite. But in all of these cases, you still have the client, unless it was a site disaster, or you incredibly lose bot the client and TSM server or backup media Robin Sharpe Jeff Bach To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Robin Sharpe/WA/USR/SHG) 05/28/01 Subject: 08:55 AM Re: Antwort: TSM configuration questions Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" If you go straight to tape, until the second copy of data is made, you have a single point of failure.

Right now, I have set up a 100GB Disk Pool and one Tape Pool and one Tapecopy pool for making offsite storage copies. My questions are: If I am doing backups using this configuration, my daily backups on NT, Netware, and Unix will all first go to the disk pool and then migrate to the tape pool. Data on the tapes will consist of information from all platforms, mixing together, right? I was uncomfortable with this data mixing idea. I called TSM support and they assured me everything would be alright. However, If I still want to have tapes consisting of only one platform only, are there ways to configure the system to do that? My purpose of doing this is to have NT, Novell, and Unix System Administrators to handle their own tapes. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: sql error
$)C Hello, A few things to check... Make sure the SQL userid "sa" has the Sysadmin fixed server role. It appears that you are using "sa" because your command line entry does not show you using /SQLSECURE option (for Windows authentication) or the /SQLUSER and /SQLPWD options for entering alternate SQL ids/passwords. Also, make sure you are running at least 1.1.2 of TDP for SQL. (The latest version is are available from "ftp.software.ibm.com" in directory /storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/tivoli-data-protection/ntsql/1.1.2.) I would also recommend that you take a look at TDP for SQL version 2. It has many new features including the two big ones of taking advantage of standard TSM policy management (no more deleting old backups) and SQL 2000 support. Other than that, you should open a problem with IBM service. A trace will help the service team determine what is going wrong.

labeling tapes
All, sorry if this is a beginner question, but that's what I am at this ... I have a TSM server (v 3.7.4) on AIX and it has 1 3590 library attached to it. I'm labelling some tapes, but as we do not have a barcode reader I'm forced (apparently ) to enter the labels manually one by one. however if I issue the command on the webclient i see the options volume range and volume list. i tried with label LIBVOLUME 3590LIB DEVTYPE=3590 CHECKIN=SCRATCH OVERWRITE=NO VOLRANGE=EC0041,EC0050 but it comes back with 1 or more parameters missing. If I add search library=yes, I have to choose between prompt and barcode. Is there no way of doing this with a small 3590 library without a barcode reader? Stan
Re: backing up DBs from filesystems

This is how we connect our LTO drives to our SAN...

Everything inside the zone sees everything else inside the zone. Everything outside the zone sees everything else outside the zone. Nothing can see "THROUGH" the zone barrier. The only things in that zone are the three SAN Data Gateway Routers and three of the four Fibre Channel Adapters on our TSM server (RS/6000 H80). The other FCA in the TSM server goes to the ED-5000, but it's outside the "LTO Zone". Instead of seeing the LTO drives, it sees our Shark, just like every other FCA on our SAN... Since the only server INSIDE the zone is the TSM server, it is the only server that can see the LTO drives and the library. None of the FCAs OUTSIDE the zone can see any of the LTO devices (5 drives + 1 library = 6 devices). REMEMBER: Each FCA inside the "LTO Zone" sees all LTO devices (6 objects). We have three 2108s connecting our 6 LTO devices to our SAN. Our TSM server has a total of FOUR FCAs (three inside the "LTO Zone" and one outside the zone). Given this configuration, the TSM server sees 18 devices (6 devices x 3 adapters) within AIX. From there, it's just a matter of defining the proper devices to TSM.

With schedmode prompted, the client schedule service connects to the TSM server and the TSM server stores it's IP address. The TSM server contacts the client with this IP address when the schedule is set to start. So the TSM server does not have to do any resolution of host names, it has the IP address and contacts the client using this address. Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg
Re: ARCHCONVERSION
The first time a node goes into the Archive GUI you will get the following message: ANS5148W The server needs to do a one-time conversion of your archive data before you can continue. This operation may take a long time, and cannot be canceled once it has started. Are you willing to wait for the conversion to complete? Explanation: The server must do a conversion of the archive data before continuing. The conversion could take a long time, and cannot be canceled once it is started. System Action: Processing stopped; waiting for user intervention. User Response: Answer "Yes" to start the archive data conversion. If you answer "No", the current operation will be canceled. If you reply yes, it does the conversion (even if you have no archive data) and you will see the messages on the server. I believe this was needed when upgrading a client from a certain version but do not know what it is.

Reboot during NT client upgrade
My site is about to upgrade its Windows NT client systems to 4.1.2.12. We are starting with the ones that currently have 3.1.0.6 client code, and will subsequently upgrade the ones with various service levels of the 3.7 code. We currently have to plan every upgrade to allow for the possibility of rebooting the client. One of the Windows NT administrators has observed that life would be a lot easier if we could predict in advance whether the client upgrade on a specific system would require a reboot or not. Is there any way to do this?
LTO and 3590
Hello, I have read some archives about LTO vs 3590. I get mixed feelings about which is better depending on the situation. I would like to ask for your opinions on my specific case. Here are the facts: I am a TSM newbie < 6 months. Current hardware is: 3494 w/2 3590E1A drives 3466-C00 w/H50 server 288gb SSA 7133-D40 We are needing to about double our current hardware (rough estimate) The additional backups will be 70/30 small file/large file (all from NT) The are 3 options on the table 1) add 3590EA1 drives (and additional frame) 2) add LTO drives (and whatever frame) 3) sell 3590 system and replace with LTO system My first thoughts are to just add 3590's. Been working fine for a year. I'm still gathering price info. but if cost was basically the same what would you do? I don't think cost will be significantly less for any of the three. Maybe I'm wrong. Advantages/disadvantages to these options? If cost were much lower for LTO would you go with it? If complete LTO replacement, would data migration off 3590 be a nightmare? Also, I don't really need fast restore times Thanks for any advice David

Re: Reboot during NT client upgrade
I can tell you from experience that if you are upgrading to 4.1.x client on an NT 4.0 machine you will need to reboot. Starting with 4.1.x they use the w2k installer and this requires a reboot after the installation of the w2k installer before it installs the client. On w2k clients a reboot is not required. -Original Message- From: Thomas Denier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 8:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reboot during NT client upgrade My site is about to upgrade its Windows NT client systems to 4.1.2.12.

Re: Reboot during NT client upgrade
I think the best bet is to plan for reboot on ALL these systems. One of my methods on these systems BTW is to totally delete old version(s) and then install new versions, saving dsm.opt of course. I find that in many cases there may be two *SM versions on system and some other misc stuff, so this gets me to a "clean" state. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/31/01 11:26AM >>> My site is about to upgrade its Windows NT client systems to 4.1.2.12.

Re: backing up DBs from filesystems
This is exactly how we backup our more than 200 Oracle databases. We have a script (actually, a rather large suite of scripts) that create the backup in a a staging area on the db server. The backup is completely contained under a directory that contains the db name, date, time, type (hot/cold), etc. TSM them come in and backs up the staging area, as well as log files and other stuff. Our use a management class with 2 versions exists, 1 deleted, 1 retain extra, and 90 retain only. Basically, were not interested in anything but the most recent version, and, when it's deleted we keep it around for 90 days. Yes, if the backup fails for some reason there's a backup in TSM that's bad. The scripts do extensive logging so we can tell how/if it worked. In general, backups have so little problem I can't remember the last time a Oracle hot failed.

NDS tree backups
Hello everyone. We are running TSM 3.7.4 on OS/390 2.10 and are using the TSM 3.7.2 client on a Netware server. Here is our situation. Our NDS Tree backup take about 18 hours for us to complete. I am being told by our Netware support group that this is a TSM client issue because according to them Arcserve can backup our tree in 10 min. I have very limited knowledge of how Novell and the NDS tree backup works, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen similar times and if there is a way to decrease the length of the TSM backup when backing up the NDS tree. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian Brian L.

Re: LTO and 3590
David, Lisa is exactly right! We decided to save some money and go with LTO, but research shows that the 3590 would have been MUCH better. Don't get me wrong - the LTO technology outperforms even the new Super DLT - and blows the old DLT's away. But if you already have 3590e's in house, you'll be disappointed if you go with anything less.

TDP for Domino
Hello Folks I was wondering if someone might give me a clue. I'm running a command file to do backups for the TDP for Domino client. The command file is run and the log file sindicate connection to the servers etc. I have the mount window up and the server calls for a mount request, sees the tape in the drive and then mounts it. Then within a second it comes back and says ANR8360I DLT volume 000344 has been deleted from MANUAL library DLTLIB1. Then it dismounts the tape. No matter what tape I try it continues to do this. Any help would be appreciated. TIA Patrick
Re: Recovery log utilization does not drop after DB backup
We run into this problem a lot. I believe there are a couple of issues here. One issue, that Gerhard mentioned, is that the log utilization does not drop quickly when the db backup apparently finishes. The other issue is that a thread can have the log "pinned", preventing the log utilization from dropping. The thread can be a session or a process. A session backing up a single large object, or a smaller one over a slower speed network, can cause this problem. Also, a process (or session) doing tape I/O which has gone into error recovery (which can take hours) can also cause this problem. I'm sure there are other situations which can cause a pinned log as well. These two problems can lead to several operational problems. In addition to the log filling up, if you have triggered db backups, they can keep triggering in a loop, quickly using up all the tapes allocated for db backups (if you are using tapes). Some options were added to the tsm server to detect slow/hung sessions. I have been experimenting with these, but even at their lowest settings, I believe they are cancelling sessions that should not be cancelled (single large archive files going to tape). I think the problem has to do with not properly excluding media wait time from it's calculation of throughput. I think this problem gets worse as your environment gets more varied. We have a wide variety of nodes, including hundreds of workstations along with a few very large database servers. As Angela states, you can try doing a full DB backup daily. But in our environment, this is not very practical because of the amount of time it takes to run a full backup. Tivoli's recommendation is to keep your database size small, but that can really add to your licensing, hardware, and management expenses to keep propagating more and more servers. I think this is really a limitation of the database technology that TSM uses, and I think Tivoli needs to address this. I believe there is some relief coming for the max log size sometime soon, but I don't think that will be enough relief for some of us. If you haven't already maxed out your recovery log size, you can try increasing its size - this will provide some relief. But, unfortunately, I don't believe there is anything you can do to guarantee that you won't run into this problem again. ..Paul At 06:31 AM 5/30/2001 -0700, Angela Hughes wrote: >This problem can also be eliminated by performing a >full DB backup daily which I've always done and if the >environment is very large with a lot of activity you >can perform incremental DB backups with the DB trigger >option throughout the day. >Thanks, >Angela > >--- David Longo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > When your recovery log hits 100%, basically one of > > two things happens. > > > > 1.

TSM server hanging
Were having problems with our TSM server hanging during nightly backups. server: RS/6K-S7A tsm:TSM 4.1.1 Drives: 3494 with 8 3590E drives Within the last several weeks our server has hung during nightly backups about a half dozen times. Actually, we don't think it's hung, just running very slow. In the morning there are 50 sessions (max sessions is set to 50) just sitting there doing nothing, or just running very slow. You see just a little trickle of data coming in on the ethernet adapters - a few k/s. The aix error log and TSM log show no errors that would relate to this problem (ie: the aix error log has drive cleaning messages). The TSM log does show lots of max- session messages, but that's because the very first backups that get started in the evening never finish, or finish so slow that we run out of sessions. IBM support has suggested that we put the latest fix on (4.1.3), but other than that they have no idea. Any help is more than Welcome! Rick
Re: Response to multiple questions regarding LTO libraries on a S AN.. .
Ruud, You CAN use ANY of the devices listed. Notice (looking at the Gateway) that your Medium Changer is listed on the first SCSI channel. Be aware that the communications path between TSM and your library is across THAT path. Since you only have one SAN Data Gateway (and I assume on FCA on your TSM server associated with it), this shouldn't be too hard to troubleshoot in the event of Fibre Channel errors. The downside to your setup is that you'll have 4 LTO drives (and their library) going across ONE Fibre Channel path. You have a slight bottleneck there. Three drives per path is better, with two giving the best performance. Two LTO drives can't fully use the entire bandwidth of a FC path, but they'll come close occasionally if they have fast access to your storage pools during disk-to-tape migration. What surprises me is that you see all of your devices twice (once for each SCSI connection to your Gateway). I see each of my devices three times, but I have three gateways (using 5 SCSI connections - one to each drive). I would have expected to see each of your devices only once (assuming your drives are 'daisy-chained'). How are your drives connected to your SAN Data Gateway...?

ANYONE ELSE TRY USIG SUBFILES?
Hello All, We are testing out the use of SUBFILE processing. We have a user group that would have to do dial-in backups or we buy them zip drives. Using SUBFILE processing, a very narrow include/exclude list, and compression we still se backups that are close to 40MB. We insist that the test group get a connection of at least 40K bits/sec. I see the backups running at less than 2K bytes/sec. I played with many different parms and can not get things to run any faster. If this is the best we can do we will be purchasing a lot of zip drives (400+). HAS ANYONE ELSE TRIED THIS? IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING BETTER THROUGHPUT ON A 56kbs DIALUP line? Thanks Matt
Re: ANYONE ELSE TRY USIG SUBFILES?
5K bytes/sec is good for 56k under good circumstances isn't it? With lossage due to a less than optimal PPP implementation, 2k doesn't sound all that unusual. (To me anyway.)

Re: LTO and 3590
The 3590's are the better drives... (how many LTO drives do you see in MVS environments ?) and especially if you have the E drives ! We are still running on 5 year old B1A's (have about 40 or 50 of them around...) the tsm environments take in a total of 2 TB nightly (on average) In 5 years (best I can remember) there have been 10, maybe 15 tapes go bad where I couldn't (easily) get the data off them (includes being eaten by the drive). On all of those (except one) the data naturally expired without being requested. On that one exception, a .dbf file was required, they retrieved it from an earlier version and used redo logs to bring it back to the state they needed... So in short... In 5 years, all the clients here have experienced ZERO data loss with the 3590's ! just my personal experiences...

Re: Slow NT Restore
I have done restores on NT5 from a similar config, and had NO problems. I agree that autonegotiate is a likely culprit when the throughput is that slow. When autonegotiate is the problem, our network guys can see errors being recorded on the switch; ask for help there. Another possibility is that the bottleneck is on the NT machine itself, trying to rebuild the file system. If you have virus checking software installed, disable it for the time being. If this rebuild is being done due to a failure of some sort, did anyone run CHECKDISK on the drive before starting the restore? Run from the TSM server command line: q db f=d Your cache hit % should ideally be 98% or better; 96% or better works pretty good, too. If it's lower than 95%, that may be hurting you some (but not to the tune of 20 hours...) As a last resort, check your TSM server's AIX errpt log, to check for disk errors, and run IOSTAT to see if you are getting any bottlenecks on your TSM DB I/O. -Original Message- From: Herfried Abel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Slow NT Restore Phil, Did you check the general network speed between the client and the server ( e.g. ftp put and get a large file ).

Re: Reboot during NT client upgrade
I've found that reboots in order to proceed with the install have been necessary on around 1/3 to 1/2 of the NT boxes I've done. It's definitely related to the Installer, possibly whether it's been used before or not. Just curious, why the push to upgrade, other than support (and that d**n DST bug!)?

IS > ANYONE ELSE GETTING BETTER THROUGHPUT ON A 56kbs DIALUP line? Matt - Two points on this issue... 1. There's no such thing as a 56kbs dialup line, which is to say that the phone company does not (refuses to) guarantee voice lines for data, and certainly no guaranteed speed. You get whatever the line conditions will tolerate at the moment. I've tried a 56K modem at home and found that the line conditions made high-speed connections so error-dominated that throughput was worse than using a slower modem. I returned to using a 28.8 modem, and even there have to limit it to 26.4 kbps to achieve best possible throughput. 2. The term "56K modem" is too loosely thrown around. The technology does not provide 56Kbps capability in both directions. From my notes: 56Kb (V.90) modems V.90 bypasses the normal digital-to-analog conversion on downloads, so maximizes line utilization. Full telco line capacity is 53Kbps. Although most standard, voice-grade phone lines can carry 56Kbps of digital data, telephone companies have traditionally used only about 53Kb of that in order to provide some quiet buffer space between adjacent voice channels in their analog world. Now that most phone systems are all digital, that 3Kb of quiet space is no longer necessary, so the FCC lifted the 53Kb limit. The upload side of the line is still based upon digital-to-analog conversion, so is limited to 33Kbps. Lastly, regarding the large backups you are still seeing, I would advise reading the whitepaper on Adaptive Sub-file Differencing at http://www.tivoli.com/products/solutions/storage/storage_related.html . There are circumstances under which full backups need to occur. The scheme is not magic. Richard Sims, BU

Remember that the initial TSM support for system object backup/recovery came at about the code level you're currently using. You most likely need to upgrade. 1. Use the latest available TSM client code--in this case, version 4.1.2.16. 2. Use the latest available Netware module code for TSA and SMDR. You didn't mention the level of Netware your client was at, but you *don't* want to use the TSA and SMDR modules available in the latest service pack on the public Novell ftp site. You have to ask Novell support for the file TSA5UP3 (I believe). If the modules are dated earlier than December 2000, they're not the ones you want. Install the Netware modules. Delete the old TSM client and install the new one. When you do the install, and the client asks for a Netware ID and password, be sure to use one that has full and complete access to all files and objects on the server. There. See if that helps you any. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: LTO and 3590
There is a presentation on the Tivoli website comparing 3590, 9840, LTO, and DLT. http://www.tivoli.com/news/press/analyst/tsm.pdf I agree with Jeff & Dwight; if you are used to 3590, consider that LTO is a competitor to DLT, not a competitor to the 3590. I would base the decision on load: If your load is less than 20 GB per night, 3590 may be overkill and LTO might provide a less expensive alternative. But the larger your load gets, the more abuse your media gets and the more you need the big iron (If you do decide to migrate, it's not a big deal. You can do it real time. Hook up the new library to your TSM server. Define new tape storage pools, and point your management classes or disk migration to the new tape storage pools. Then just start running MOVE DATA from your old tape volumes to your new tape pools. Backups will continue while it's going on. If you need a restore in the meantime, TSM will find the data and mount whichever tapes it needs. When the old tapes are all empty, remove the old robot.)

I get mixed feelings about which is better depending on the situation. I would like to ask for your opinions on my specific case. Here are the facts: I am a TSM newbie < 6 months. Current hardware is: 3494 w/2 3590E1A drives 3466-C00 w/H50 server 288gb SSA 7133-D40 We are needing to about double our current hardware (rough estimate) The additional backups will be 70/30 small file/large file (all from NT) The are 3 options on the table 1) add 3590EA1 drives (and additional frame) 2) add LTO drives (and whatever frame) 3) sell 3590 system and replace with LTO system My first thoughts are to just add 3590's. Been working fine for a year. I'm still gathering price info. but if cost was basically the same what would you do? I don't think cost will be significantly less for any of the three. Maybe I'm wrong. Advantages/disadvantages to these options? If cost were much lower for LTO would you go with it? If complete LTO replacement, would data migration off 3590 be a nightmare? Also, I don't really need fast restore times Thanks for any advice David

Re: NDS tree backups
Brian, Couple of questions. How are you specifying the NDS backup, and is the tree replicated on multiple servers? Also, do you have the most recent TSA nlms? Obviously 18 hrs is a 'bit' excessive! We back up one as part of the regular backup of one of the servers in the tree with no additional overhead that you can tell. We're 3.1.2.50 on OS/390 2.6 with an array of client code. Which brings me to a different question. When you upgraded to 2.10 did you get TSM as part of the server pack? If so, was it the 3.7 code? We're getting ready to go to 2.10 and I'm curious what version of TSM we'll get. Hard to believe they would ship 3.7 when it goes out of support this yr.

Re: TSM Pricing
Geoff, Good Luck! It has been my experience that pricing Tivoli products is damn near impossible until you get the bill. You can try the tivoli manamgement points (tmp) calculator at http://www.tivoli.com/Tivoli_Electronic_Support/Pricing.nsf/Welcome?OpenForm but it is not 100% complete. The last per tmp list price I was quoted is as follows: list price for product purchase is $31 per point list price for 24x7 maintenance is $6 per point list price for 5x9 maintenance is $4.50 per point You can use the tmp calculator to get an idea of what you might pay for a given config. You have to have a tivoli online account which I believe you get at the same site. If you calculate you need 2000 points the cost would be $62,000. One gotcha is that in the calculator there was (or maybe still is) no way to select the Library Manager product to get a point value for it. If you need it add 530 points to your total point count for each Library Manager license.

I actually called Tivoli directly 2-3 times before someone called me back. Then referred me to a reseller in Houston, Mark III Systems. You want to talk to Jim Sorrells at 713-664-9850. Then i figured it was worth a shot and asked my local IBM reseller if they resold Tivoli, he said they do. They are TimeTrend, based out of Alexandria, La. Talk to Luke White at 800-292-0303. The pricing was almost exact, so i'll probably go with my local reseller. later!

The extended support for the VM platform is probably due to IBM/Tivoli repackaging V3.1.2 as V3.7 and V4.1. cheers, wayne Wayne T.

Restore
Hi, I am restoring from one Aix client node to another. I am able to restore some filespaces and not others. The message is "No files matching search criteria were found" for those that are NOT successful. I looked at the "query backup " from the source node and check that the backup filespaces exist. I am pretty sure about the restore command because some filespaces restored o.k I am logged in as root so permission is not an issue. Any suggestions ?? Many thanks. Raymond Chao TSM Administrator
Re: Restore
Raymond, Did you grant access to all filesystems or to only a few? This could be why you're not able to restore them.

Re: Tivoli Space Manager (was HSM) on HP-UX?
I've been researching this for a client and the only "listed" platforms are Sun Solaris and AIX - both of these platforms are further restricted by the version level and the file system that must be on the client.
