TSM NT Performance Statistics - Help Please
Hi Everyone in the World (Don't want to miss anyone and offend them!!), I am currently trying to improve performance on my NT only TSM backups and need to see what other sites are achieving as throughput. If you have an NT environment similar to mine, I would appreciate the results from the following QUERY statement on your server. Plus general config details as shown... Many thanks for taking the time to read this and for taking part. If you would like a copy of my research, please ask. If I get enough feedback, we could get a rough idea of the effect that different configurations affect performance. I am aware that there are many other variables, but this is a start!! If someone has already done this *** eg. Tivoli *** please,please let me know. Best Regards Tony Morgan Fortis Bank UK London ~~ My environment is 38 NT clients, one of which is a large file server (+- 40GB daily incremental), the rest are +- 43 GB Daily incremental total. Query ~ >>> query actlog begind=-7 search=ANE496 You may want to strip nodenames for your security. Config details Example ~~ Server Type - Compaq PL3000 Processor No/Type/Speed - 2x PII 350Mhz Disk Array - Raid 5 soft partitioned Backup Destination Stg - Disk (or Tape or ?)

Re: 3494 sharing
With the 3494, if purchased and installed with RS232 host communication method, you will need an MES to upgrade to TCP/IP communication method. Need to make sure you have the drivers for the tape drives & library... see ftp site index.storsys.ibm.com in the /devdrvr directory or somewhere down from there... looking for atape___& atldd use lslpp -l Atape.driver and lslpp -l atldd.driver to see if already installed (and at what level) if not happy with current situation, install new poop... make sure all new hardware is connected edit /etc/ibmatl.conf to insert new library definition record run cfgmgr to find new tape drives use smitty, devices, tape drive, add a tape drive, atl library LAN/TTY Library Management Control Point to create a new lmcp use Configure a Defined Tape Drive to make it available I take it you have unique tape drives for each system ! make sure you use different scratch & private categories across different tsm servers Oh, and Geoff... what is that SAIC charge code I need to use ;-) Dwight ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -Original Message- From: Gill, Geoffrey L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 4:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 3494 sharing A little info before I ask my question. Current setup: TSM Server is RS6000 AIX4.3.3 running TSM 4.1.2 Library is 3494 connected serial to the H50. New TSM Server is RS6000 AIX4.3.3 running TSM 4.1.2 Library will be connected serial to the M80. The question is on how to use the library with 2 servers, one Production and one for testing. The M80 is going to be connected to the library serial, unless someone knows a reason not to, it will be moving to production. I am not familiar with how the 3494 is built so I can't tell you if I can connect through a LAN. If it's standard in the delivery to have it, then you can count on it being there. Unfortunately it's connected serial to the H50 right now. IBM will be here tomorrow to connect the new library section and hopefully to the M80 too. I know a definition is made at the console to tell the library of the server but beyond that I know nothing. I know that some of you have done this recently and I could fumble through the messages to locate bits and pieces, but I'd rather not. I'd like to see if anyone has a document they can send to me that explains a step by step process/setup to enable the sharing of the library to 2 TSM servers, and any configuration I may need to make at the RS6000. Like the document I gave to a lot of people on my upgrade process from ADSM V3 to V4.. I've searched IBM on library sharing but.you didn't think I'd find anything like this there do you? Yes I'm looking for a handout. Thanks, for the help. Geoff Gill TSM Administrator NT Systems Support Engineer SAIC E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (858) 826-4062 Pager: (888) 997-9614

Re: back image command
>We are trying to optimize some of our backups and wanted to experiment with >backuping up JFS filesystems using backup image. Our thought process was >that by bypassing the overhead of the JFS we could decrease the backup >window. However we are told that one of the rules for TSM (ver 3.7) is that >if the filesystem is not configured as raw at the LVM level backup image >will not work. Is this correct? Is there away around this? >How much overhead is actually affiliated with the JFS? Peter - I presume the context is AIX. Here, file systems are created within Logical Volumes, which is the "raw" space underlying the file system. The "filespec" used in the Backup Image command is either the file system name (to implicitly identify the underlying Logical Volume), or the Logical Volume itself. If a file system is involved, TSM will proceed to unmount it so as to back up the Logical Volume unto itself. See the TSM 3.7 Technical Guide redbook, which as the introduction document best describes the facility. Of course, backing up with volume images means restoring volume images. This is an exception to the TSM philosophy, for when volume images are more appropriate or expedient, and where file selectivity is not important. Sure, there is overhead with JFS, as with any file system on top of a disk partition, but it's value added. As always, approach Backup on the basis of how you would need to Restore: do not evaluate Backup methods independently. Richard Sims, BU
Re: Tivoli vs Arcserve 2000
In arc serv u need not use BMR as in tivoli. -Original Message- From: Scott G Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 8:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tivoli vs Arcserve 2000 I know that I probably should do this, but I can't help myself. I am trying (or being forced to)defend my decision to use Tivoli over Arcserve. What are my reasons again? I have been pitching Tivoli and rolling it out with goos success to a Netware and NT environment that consists os about 4TB of data over about 85 nodes. Everything was good untill I got to Exchange 2000 and everybody wanted message level restore like Arcserve and Commvault. Also Microsoft has a bug that of course only affects Tivoli (memory leak). If it sounds like I am wining then I probably am. I guess my question is... does anyone have any pros or cons for Tivoli over Arcserve? My Exchange environment is a two server cluster on a Compaq SAN. It has two storage groups right now one at 127g and the other at 192g. There are plans to break them out into smaller stores (around 50g each). Any help in the form of suggestions would be helpfull. thank you Scott Davis
scheduler missed
Hello all, Our OS system engineer has a cron job to move the dsmsched.log to another name every morning at 6:00AM, the node is scheduled to run at 3:15AM and it takes about 20 minutes. This morning at 8:30, I found the node missed backup and cannot find out the moved dsmsched.log file and there is no dsmsched.log file either. The dsmerror.log has yesterday's data. Is there anyway to find out the problem? Will it cause any problem for TSM if the existed dsmsched.log is missing (moved)? Appreciated your help. Best regards, Phillip Guan

Lindsay - It is typically only disk drive manufacturers that express a kilobyte as 1,000 bytes. Software and tape drive makers typically use a 1,024 value. The TSM Admin Ref manual glossary, and the 3590 Hardware Reference manual, for example, both define a kilobyte as 1,024. Richard Sims, BU

Re: ESS and Flashcopy for backups
Hi Bill, If you are trying to backup an Oracle database that resides on an ESS [to TSM] using flashcopy, then you may want to consider using a product that does this for you. It is called TDP for ESS for Oracle, is available on AIX, and takes care of the Oracle/ESS/AIX/TSM steps for you. This is a product that GAed in the first quarter of this year.

Re: Command Output in the Activity log
Uhmmm I don't think you would want all that ! Could end up in an infinate loop ! ! ! what if you did a "q act begind=-7 endd=today" if all the output were put in the log, you have just increased your activity log (space occupied in your db) by the last 7 days. If you only keep 7 days, you've just doubled it ! AND this specific "q act" type action could result in looping if you are listing what is in the log and what you are listing is being dumped into the log... :-O just my 2 cents worth...

Re: New Server and Disk Pools
This is only with one server.There are several servers with several clients in this environment. I think what should matter is db size that not only depends on no: of clients,but also on amount of data changed during backup.There is a formula in Tivoli Implementation Red Book. I also use EMC Semmetrix where u don't require even to mirror/stripping. Its has disk cache which brings back all the data back ,in case of disk failure.With remote disk monitoring. Secondly it has BCVs which can recover immediately. Recovery over network is also possible. This is what I know that's all. -Original Message- From: Jeff Bach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 12:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New Server and Disk Pools The two largest instances of ADSM I have backup 250 full size clients (N, L class HP, H80, M50, mulitple processor NT) I have never found a great way to compare database setups. # of clients is somewhat valid ...

AIX DB2 backup problem with 4.2.0 client

Re: AIX DB2 backup problem with 4.2.0 client
Hi, I am not sure if TSM support DB2 version 5 and TSM API version 4.2. In any case TSM 4.2 can work with API 4.1.3. Then you need to uninstall the api and install the former version.

TSM not grabbing scratch volumes as needed
Something's wrong. Normally, when one of the storagepools runs out of filling tapes, and an operation is run that requires a filling tape, TSM will usually grab a scratch volume and use it. It is not doing that anymore for any of our storage pools. We have to manually define a scratch volume to a storage pool. E.g., "def v restorepool 000116" Why is this happening? And how can we fix it? We are runnning TSM 4.1 on an AIX 4.3.3 box. johnn
Re: Command Output in the Activity log
Hmm... I agree with Wanda and Dwight. Definitely not in the Activity Log. However, if there were an option you could turn on in the dsmserv.opt to have all your proposed output directed to the server's stdout, you could easily capture it with dsmulog or whatever else you might like to use. Realistically, though, I can't think of too many situations where seeing the output of other admins' queries and selects would help me very much, and most things that aren't a queries or selects are pretty self explanatory. Out of curiosity, what would you expect to get from it?

Re: TSM not grabbing scratch volumes as needed
Johnn, Run this select: select stgpool_name, maxscratch from stgpools Then run this one: select stgpool_name, - count(*) as qty - from volumes - where scratch='Yes' - group by stgpool_name Compare the QTY shown for each storagepool in the second query with the value shown by the first query. My guess is that you will find that one or more of your storagepools have hit the wall of the number of allowable scratch tapes defined for that storagepool. You can increase the value by issuing the command "upd stg {stgpoolname} maxscr={bignumber}" HTH, Ted
Re: TSM not grabbing scratch volumes as needed
What error are you getting? Something like "out of space in stgpool x"? Check the properties of the storage pool; look at the MAXSCRATCH parameter. TSM will never grab more scratch tapes than you have specified there. Just bump the number up. -Original Message- From: Johnn D.

Re: Command Output in the Activity log
I would use it in scripts; especially my scripts which manage offsite volumes. On Fri, 7 Sep 2001, Alex Paschal wrote: > Hmm... I agree with Wanda and Dwight.

Re: Command Output in the Activity log
At times it would be useful. It could be implemented as a form of the redirect (> TSMLOG) or an option like -log On Fri, 7 Sep 2001, Cook, Dwight E wrote: > Uhmmm I don't think you would want all that ! > Could end up in an infinate loop ! ! ! > what if you did a "q act begind=-7 endd=today" > if all the output were put in the log, you have just increased your activity > log (space occupied in your db) by the last 7 days.
