TDP warning

2002-01-02 Thread Gianni Garda

Happy new year TSMers,

I have this warning when I start a SAP backup.

Warning: Can not open the message-catalog 'backintv3.cat'.
  Make sure that you have the correct $NLSPATH and $LANG environment
settings
  and that the 'backintv3.cat' file is installed in the correct place.
  Now we use the default language settings.

Anyone seen this? Any help is appreciated.

anyone using TSM client 4.1.x on Linux Red Hat 7.2 to backup filesystems
and Databases on TSM 4.1.2 running on AIX.
Does TSM support Red Hat Linux 7.2.

Thanks and regards

Dear Sree,
We use redhat 7.2 for My SQL, Apache and as a filer,
We installed TSM 4.2. and it works fine. 
Do not forget to stop and start databases when jou want to have a clean back-up of the database.

WinNT Defrag and TSM Volume

2002-01-02 Thread Boireau, Eric (MED)

Hi all,
First of all, I whish you a happy new year.
Does anybody has already perform and Win2000 Defrag disk on a TSM Server ?.
My database file containt about 100K Fragments (Info coming from Win2K
Server Mgmt). 
In a general way could we defrag using (W2K Defrag) any kind of TSM Volumes
(DB, Log, Stgpool). Of course, I think this kind of operation have to done
with TSM down.

Re: WinNT Defrag and TSM Volume

2002-01-02 Thread Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM

Hi Eric!
W2K defrag will be finished very quickly. Defrag performs defragmentation on
the file level. Since your logvolume contains just one file (the TSM
recovery log file) there isn't much to defragmentize. Same goes for the
storage pool volumes.
A TSM database defrag utility is something on all our wishlists for quite
some time.
Kindest regards,

Gerald,

RC=1914 means "RC_SQL_API_FAILURE"
which means that the SQL backup API returned an error.

HRESULT:0x80042329 is coming from the SQL server and
it means error "9001" (hex 2329 in decimal is 9001)
with severity 10.

Check the SQL Server log to find any clues.

Does this backup work manually?  Does it just
fail when it is scheduled? See if this makes
a difference...

"tempdb" is always excluded from backup by default.
I am not sure why the SQL Server is looking to access
the tempdb in this case.  Try doing a differential
backup on that database with the backup tool shipped
with SQL server. Does it fail also?

If you still cannot get things to work, please
call IBM support.

Thanks,

Del

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 31-Dec-01 10:11:56 PM >>>
Well, how to lookup individual sessions:  The short answer is SELECT * FROM
SUMMARY WHERE ENTITY='nodename' AND ACTIVITY='BACKUP'
Multi streamed backups are a great enhancement, but there are some
subtleties.

With a single streamed backup, you have one session and one statistics
report on standard output (if running from a script).  If running from a
unixcommand line it comes out on your terminal screen.  If running from a
GUI it is in a window, but has a slightly different format (if I remember
correctly).

With a multi streamed backup, you have several sessions, as you have
stated.  But you still get a single statistics report.  In the GUI you can
see the individual sessions, but on the command line version, there is no
indication that it's a multi stream.  And this where I think the problem
lies.

So, when you do the select from summary,  you should get several records
that start at the same time (or thereabouts).  These would be the sessions
that make up the multi streamed backup.  I think you have to calculate the
elapsed time (end-start)...  For the ***FLASH*** light bulb just went
on over my head!

This is why it isn't accurate: Each session on a multi stream backup
will be a different elapsed time (probably).  Since they are running
concurrently, the elapsed time for the backup is of course the end time of
the latest session minus the start time of the earliest.  But each session
has a data transfer time that may mor may not overlap the other sessions.
The total data transfer  is the sum of those of each session... so it could
conceivably be more than the elapsed time.   Still doesn't seem to make
sense though  (light bulb is dimming now and less than an hour of
2001 remains!)

I'm really getting curious about this now... guess I'll have to do some
tests when I get back to work on Wednesday.

Hope everyone has a Safe & Happy New Year!

Hi guys,

I do not think any times are wrong nor is there a bug, see example.

PS: How do I look up individual sessions for a given backup?

Example:
Here's how I thought the numbers were arrived at:

say processing starts at time zero and runs for 1 hour, 3600 s, just to
make it easy, and we backup 100 GB. We also use two streams 50 GB total
each, and they run concurrently. %75 of the time is spent sending data, %25
processing overhead.

So:
total time: 3600 s
total bytes: 100 GB
aggregate is: 100 * 1024 mb / 3600 = 28 MB /s

data transfer time: .75 * 3600 * 2 = 5400 s
network throughput is: 100 * 1024 / 5400 = 18 MB / s

I think what I meant to say was the network pipe is really _wide_. The
network can sustain multiple streams running at full speed. The limiting
speed factor may be the server or it may be the network, but I don't think
it matters where the speed bottleneck is. So I still don't think it is a
bug.

Miles

Re: Upgrade or new install??

2002-01-02 Thread Joshua S. Bassi

Upgrade or new install depends on whether you need any of your old
backup data or not.  Typically when I do an ADSM to TSM upgrade (I am in
the midst of one now for a customer) I do a combination of an upgrade
and a new install.  What I mean by that is that I save the ADSM/TSM
database and recovery log, but uninstall the ADSM code and reinstall the
new TSM code.  I choose to do this because it changes the directory
structure of the installation to the Tivoli paths instead of the old IBM
paths.  I then upgrade the database and am able to restore all of my
customer's old data.

Yet it is possible to run 2 or more TSM servers on 1 machine.  Take a
look at the quick start guide for a brief description on how to do this.

Hello,

I suggest an new install. The database engines in version 3.1 are very bad.
So you will have an bad performance when you upgrade to 4.2. It is possible
but not recommended. 
For the second question you'll need to reed the manuals. I think it is
possible. The installations wil be in different directory's I think 3.1 is
installed in /usr/lpp/adsm/bin ore something and version 4.2 will be
installed in /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin. So that will not be an problem.

If you succeed, let us know.

So maybe you should upgrade first an then start an second TSM-server. Then

FW: WinNT Defrag and TSM Volume

2002-01-02 Thread Scott, Brian

Eric,

The closest thing out there is the UNLOAD/LOAD command for the database. I
did that for a 10GB database with 72 million objects and the performance
enhancement was incredible. But Eric van Loon is right... a defrag for the
database volume would be nice.

Happy New Year!

Hi all,
First of all, I whish you a happy new year.
Does anybody has already perform and Win2000 Defrag disk on a TSM Server ?.
My database file containt about 100K Fragments (Info coming from Win2K
Server Mgmt). 
In a general way could we defrag using (W2K Defrag) any kind of TSM Volumes
(DB, Log, Stgpool). Of course, I think this kind of operation have to done
with TSM down.

Re: Upgrade or new install??

2002-01-02 Thread Doug Thorneycroft

When we upgraded our server a year and a half ago, we also upgraded our
Tivoli from ADSM Ver. 3.1X  to TSM Ver. 3.7X
The method we chose was:
1. Performed a fresh install of Ver. 3.7 to the new server from the CD, and applied 
the latest PTF.
2. Set up database volumes, log volumes, defined the storage pools, etc.
3. Made sure that everything was working OK on the new server.
4. Upgraded ADSM on the old server to the same level TSM as the new server.
5. Ran the upgraded server for a few days without any problems.
6. Backed up the database on the old server, and restored the database to the new 
server.

I am currently running ADSM 3.1 (stoneage I know) with a IBM3570 Magstar.

We have bought TSM version 4.2 and IBM3583 that I will install.

What would the advice be to upgrade the old version of ADSM or to make  a

A second question is, is it possible to run 2 dsm servers on the same

Re: WHy Idle wait keeps incrementing?

2002-01-02 Thread Malbrough, Demetrius

-BALANAND-

Session 2,763 is the Producer session which remains in an Idlewait state
because it obtains a list of file information from the TSM server for the
files that have previously been backed up for this client and places them in
memory on the client machine. It places this list of files in memory for
those items that need to be sent to the TSM server and for existing files,
the include/exclude list is also checked. It remains in this state until it
sends backup statistics to server letting the user know whether or not it
was successful or a failure.

Session 2,764 is the Consumer session which fluctuates between each state
that sends the files to the TSM server for backup or to be marked inactive
if they no longer exist on the client machine.

Re: WHy Idle wait keeps incrementing?

2002-01-02 Thread Pavan, Ron

I believe your answer would be that your idle session is your "Hunter"
session.  This is the process that is scanning the files for which ones to
backup.  This session finished scanning but the data mover session is still
transferring data.  The idle session is waiting for the data mover to finish
so that it can report back to the server the status of the backup.

This is because the server is waiting on the client to respond to the
last request for data.  During this time the client is not sending data
to the server.

Memory Tuning For AIX

2002-01-02 Thread Denis L'Huillier

Hello-
I am having a memory problem.
I am runnning AIX 4.3.2 on a H50.  TSM is the only application
running on the server.  When I run vmstat I get the following...

kthr memory page  faultscpu
- ---   ---
 r  b   avm   fre  re  pi  po  fr   sr  cy  in   sy  cs us sy id wa

Does this look normal to anyone?  From my limited understanding of vmstat
it looks like:
CPU utilization is maxed out
I have blocked processes (the b column)
The scan rate (sr) column is very high.
The server has 1Gig of memory.  I'm really not sure how to tell how much is
allocated to
the OS and how much is allocated to TSM.  Does anyone have any ideas or
pointers is
tuning memory for AIX?  Do I need a memory upgrade?
I started checking this because my server response is horrible.
Thanks.
Denis



Re: WHy Idle wait keeps incrementing?(reply)

2002-01-02 Thread Andrew Raibeck

The idle wait applies to session 2763, while the bytes received applies to
session 2764. These are two separate/independent sessions, so there is no
direct relationship between what happens on one session and what happens
on the other session. However, there is an *indirect* relationship. Based
on the information you have provided, I would say that session 2763 was
initiated by a client producer thread, and session 2764 was initiated by a
client consumer thread. (The TSM client uses the producer-consumer
multithreading model.)

When the producer thread gets a file specification to be processed, it
queries the TSM server for information about existing backups for that
file spec. The server sends the query results back to the client, which is
why you see a relatively large number of bytes sent for session 2763.

The producer thread uses the query results to determine which files have
changed since the last backup, then builds transactions (representing
files to be backed up) to be processed by the consumer thread. The
consumer thread then backs up the files in each transaction. Since it is
the consumer thread that does the actual backup work (i.e. the transfer of
the data to the server), you see its session (2764) with a large number of
bytes received.

In your case, the producer thread is not being given any more file
specifications to process, so it isn't querying the TSM server, and thus
its session is idle. Once the consumer thread is done with its work (and
there are no more file specifications to process), then the consumer and
producer threads will close out their server sessions.

If the producer session is timed out via the server's IDLETIMEOUT setting,
it will re-establish itself if necessary.

The client's main thread is responsible for giving the producer thread
file specs to process. The producer thread doesn't close out its session
after processing each file spec for performance reasons; if the file specs
are coming in fairly quickly, then the overhead of stopping/restarting
sessions could impact performance. In theory, I suppose the producer could
close its session after a certain period of inactivity, but for now, this
is how it works. What you are seeing is normal.

Error Description:
ADSM AIX Server QUERY PROCESS returns a value > 0 but < 10
(only a 1 digit number) for UNREADABLE BYTES during tape to

The number displayed for UNREADABLE BYTES is always the last

This only happens for migration from tape stg to tape stg.

Re: unreadable bytes

2002-01-02 Thread Kelly Lipp

I've seen this for a couple of versions.  I'm a bad boy in that I have not
reported it.  I think there is some slight bug when a  move data starts: a
counter is not being zeroed as it should be before the processing starts.
As long as the number of unreadable files stays zero I believe you're OK.

Re: Memory Tuning For AIX

2002-01-02 Thread Bill Mansfield

The pi and po columns are pretty normal for AIX, since it uses memory for
I/O buffer space.  The SR to FR ratio is what you look at for memory
overcommitment.  You start to work when the ratio is 5 or more.  The only
outlier is the wait I/O which is very high and should  be fixed as Richard
notes.

I'd trust more experienced help, but here
are my thoughts . . .

pi + po indicate you are constantly paging.  This probably
means you need more memory, but could be caused by aggressive
aix filesystem caching.  If so, vmtune can help limit
filesystem caching.

Your cpu is hardly being hit.  us + sy is only
around 25%. The majority of your cpu time
is wa - waiting for I/O - processes blocked on
disk I/O.

My suggestion is more disks for more disk i/o bandwidth and
more memory.  An iostat will tell you which disks/filesystems
need to be spread across more disk drives.

moving data between pools

2002-01-02 Thread Marc Levitan

Hi All-

I have a Magstar tape library that I am phasing out.  I only have a couple
of tapes left with data.
I have an existing StorageTek 9740 tape library that i would like to use
exclusively.

When I do a Q libv I get:

Library Name   Volume Name   Status   OwnerLast UseHome
Element
   ---   --   --   -

MAGSTAR03F9A8Private   32
MAGSTAR063D56Private   33
TEKWOLF03Private   Data66
TEKWOLF04Private   Data73
TEKWOLF05Private   Data163
TEKWOLF06Private   Data290
etc...

But, when I look in the web gui I can only see the 063D56  volume and NOT
the 03F9A8 volume???  Why would this be?  It is a copy pool volume.
(I can see all of the TEKWOLF volumes.)

So, I am trying to move the data to a tape in my StorageTek library, but
apparently you cannot move data from a copy pool to any other pool!

Does anyone know if there is a way to move this data?
And how come the other tape volume (03F9A8) doesn't show in my web gui?

Re: Memory Tuning For AIX

2002-01-02 Thread Miles Purdy

Hi Denis,

I think your using too much memory for file caching. Here's why:

a couple of things:
your box is out of 'real' memory, 'fre' column.
ignore 'r' and 'b', for now
any number in the pi and po columns are bad
The 'sr' search column is how many pages in the list where searched before 'fr' column 
number of pages where freed.
As the others said IO wait is a problem.

First tune 'vmtune'.
This is my command from my TSM server, AIX 4.3.3 on a silver node - which is H50.
/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -f 256 -F 768 -u 32 -p 20 -P 70 -r 2 -R 64 -b 128 -l 65536 
-B 547 -w 32000

Set the lower and upper free pages, f and F, 256 and 768 are good
Experiment with p and P, but I would think P should be low for you. Try 70.
r and R should be 2 and 64

What are your disks? SCSI? SSA?
How much paging space do you have? 136237 pages of 'active virtual memory' is only 532 
MB.

Be really careful when you try this I CRASHED BOX WHEN I DID THIS:
you can use vmtune -h to force 'P' to be a hard limit. Set this in rc.local.

Email me more info. I like these problems.

FILESPACE_NAME vs. HL_NAME

2002-01-02 Thread Mike Crawford

Good Afternoon,

A client is having trouble locating archived files using dsmc q ar.  The problem
seems to be that the filespace_name and hl_names differ between the files, even
though they were archived from the same place.

Server: AIX, ADSM v3.1
Client: SunOS, ADSM v3.1

An example:
select filespace_name,hl_name,ll_name,archive_date from archives where 
node_name='HUBER'
and ll_name='BS0266'


FILESPACE_NAME: /WORK
   HL_NAME: /DATA/MARTINE/
   LL_NAME: BS0266
  ARCHIVE_DATE: 2001-12-22 10:46:30.00

FILESPACE_NAME: /WORK/DATA
   HL_NAME: /MARTINE/
   LL_NAME: BS0266
  ARCHIVE_DATE: 2001-12-22 10:41:24.00

   HL_NAME: /
   LL_NAME: BS0266
  ARCHIVE_DATE: 2001-11-20 05:38:10.00


Depending on how the client specifies the request, they will get a different
version of the file.

The question is, how does ADSM determine which part of the path is considered
filespace_name, and which is hl_name?

Thanks,
Mike



Re: FILESPACE_NAME vs. HL_NAME

2002-01-02 Thread Vo An Nguyen/Quebec/IBM

Hello Mike,

In UNIX, a filespace for ADSM is a filesystem. So in this case,
it looks like the /work is the filespace unless you have mapped
a directory like /work/data as a nfs at the time of the backup or
perhaps you have used the client option virtualmountpoint.
Hope this helps.

I have an existing StorageTek 9740 tape library that i would like to use
exclusively.

When I do a Q libv I get:

Library Name   Volume Name   Status   OwnerLast UseHome
Element
   ---   --   --   -

MAGSTAR03F9A8Private   32
MAGSTAR063D56Private   33
TEKWOLF03Private   Data66
TEKWOLF04Private   Data73
TEKWOLF05Private   Data163
TEKWOLF06Private   Data290
etc...

But, when I look in the web gui I can only see the 063D56  volume and NOT
the 03F9A8 volume???  Why would this be?  It is a copy pool volume.
(I can see all of the TEKWOLF volumes.)

So, I am trying to move the data to a tape in my StorageTek library, but
apparently you cannot move data from a copy pool to any other pool!

Does anyone know if there is a way to move this data?
And how come the other tape volume (03F9A8) doesn't show in my web gui?

Re: WHy Idle wait keeps incrementing?(reply)

2002-01-02 Thread PINNI, BALANAND (SBCSI)

What I wanted to know was is it is normal for idle session to scan which is
doing nothing for  3hrs.
And still I see data xfer on recv state session.

The idle wait applies to session 2763, while the bytes received applies to
session 2764. These are two separate/independent sessions, so there is no
direct relationship between what happens on one session and what happens
on the other session. However, there is an *indirect* relationship. Based
on the information you have provided, I would say that session 2763 was
initiated by a client producer thread, and session 2764 was initiated by a
client consumer thread. (The TSM client uses the producer-consumer
multithreading model.)

When the producer thread gets a file specification to be processed, it
queries the TSM server for information about existing backups for that
file spec. The server sends the query results back to the client, which is
why you see a relatively large number of bytes sent for session 2763.

The producer thread uses the query results to determine which files have
changed since the last backup, then builds transactions (representing
files to be backed up) to be processed by the consumer thread. The
consumer thread then backs up the files in each transaction. Since it is
the consumer thread that does the actual backup work (i.e. the transfer of
the data to the server), you see its session (2764) with a large number of
bytes received.

In your case, the producer thread is not being given any more file
specifications to process, so it isn't querying the TSM server, and thus
its session is idle. Once the consumer thread is done with its work (and
there are no more file specifications to process), then the consumer and
producer threads will close out their server sessions.

If the producer session is timed out via the server's IDLETIMEOUT setting,
it will re-establish itself if necessary.

The client's main thread is responsible for giving the producer thread
file specs to process. The producer thread doesn't close out its session
after processing each file spec for performance reasons; if the file specs
are coming in fairly quickly, then the overhead of stopping/restarting
sessions could impact performance. In theory, I suppose the producer could
close its session after a certain period of inactivity, but for now, this
is how it works. What you are seeing is normal.

Cluster setup

2002-01-02 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.

I'm working on setting this up on a new cluster. The redbook that Tivoli
directed me to is a bit out of date. I can tell because when I tried to
install the first service it gave errors of missing options. Maybe someone
can help me a bit on this.

The cluter name is CP-ITS-SQLCL01
the node names associated with this are
SQLCLPD1
SQLCLPD2

SQLCLPD1 has these groups associated with it:
SQL01

SQLCLPD2 has these groups associated with it.
SQL03
SQLDEV
DCMSQLPD

Here is what I put together to get the SQL01 group going on SQLCLPD1. The
service installed and started ok.
dsmcutil inst /name:"TSM Schedule Service for SQL01" /clientdir:"C:\program
files\tivoli\tsm\baclient" /optfile:E:\TSM\sql01.opt /clusternode:yes
/clustername:cp-its-sqlcl01 /node:cp-its-sqlcl01 /password:test
/validate:yes /autostart:yes /startnow:yes

Can someone help me with what I have to do to get the rest of the groups
installed with their own service? I have 3 nodes registered in TSM,
SQLCLPD1, SQLCLPD2(both for the local disk backups), and CP-ITS-SQLCL01 for
the rest. Is this the easiest/preferred way to setup TSM?

Options file for SQL01 group. Is there anything I can delete from this? Is
there anything I need to add?

I'm a good boy :-). When I reported it, I got the following back from

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Query Process statistics reported for offsite volumes appear not
to be reset.
Example of statistics:

Current Physical File(bytes):   223799673

Please note from the statistic being generated that there are no
UNREADABLE FILES being generated but there are
UNREADABLE BYTES. The problem only appears on Query
Process of offsite volumes.
Problem has also been reported on Move Data
LOCAL FIX:
None

PROBLEM SUMMARY:

* USERS AFFECTED: All TSM 42 users issuing QUERY PROCESS for   *
* offsite volume reclamations and MOVE DATA*
* for onsite volumes   *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: For TSM 420 users, the QUERY PROCESS*
*  for reclamation of offsite volumes  *
*  will report incorrect statistics*
*  for Moved Bytes, Unreadable Bytes,  *

*  and Current Physical File.  *
*  For TSM 421 users, the QUERY PROCESS*
*  for reclamation of offsite volumes  *
*  should report the correct statistics*
*  report for Moved Bytes, Unreadable  *
*  Bytes, and Current Physical File.   *
*  But QUERY PROCESS for MOVE DATA on  *
*  onsite volume will report the   *
*  incorrect statistics for*
*  Unreadable Bytes.   *

* RECOMMENDATION: For TSM 420 users, upgrade to TSM 421 and*
* apply the fix for this APAR when it is   *
* available.   *
* For TSM 421 users, apply the fix for this*
* APAR when it is available.   *

For TSM 420 users, the QUERY PROCESS for reclamation of
offsite volumes will report incorrect statistics for
Moved Bytes, Unreadable Bytes, and Current Physical File.

For TSM 421 users, the QUERY PROCESS for reclamation of
offsite volumes should report the correct statistics report
for Moved Bytes, Unreadable Bytes, and Current Physical File.
But QUERY PROCESS for MOVE DATA on onsite volume will report
the incorrect statistics for Unreadable Bytes.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The incorrect statistics report on QUERY PROCESS for offsite
volume reclamation and for MOVE DATA on onsite volume have
been corrected.

Re: Memory Tuning For AIX

2002-01-02 Thread Anderson F. Nobre

Hi Denis,

It's too early to determine if you need a memory upgrade. First let's
analyze the situation...
At first look your CPU seems to be overcommited because the idle column is
about 11%. But if you sum the columns user and system it's about 23%. This
is your real CPU utilization, so it's too low. You can utilize until 70-80%
of your CPU.
Your wait column it's really worry! It means that you have an I/O
bottleneck. How's your iostat?
Althought the scaned pages column to be too high the relationship with
freeing is not more than 4:1, even in your case that are much pi/po. In
other words your real memory it's not overcommited.
The avm column shows that you are only using about 532MB of your real
memory. Much probably you are using most part of the other 500MB of real
memory to cache the filesystems.
If the DB, LOG e stgpool volumes are on filesystems and you are using the
defaults of VMM, so you can change these parameters through the vmtune. The
parameters that change the cache of filesystems are maxperm (-P) and minperm
(-p) to 10 and 5% respectively. The vmtune it's located on
/usr/samples/kernel.
If you don't find this directory so you need to install the
bos.adt.samples.kernel. I think that's the name of fileset. Anyway tell me
if you have some problem.
Two things you should know about vmtune: the first is that you can change
online but to feel the diference it's better to reboot the system to flush
the filesystem cache. The second is every time that you reboot your
operating system you must re-execute the vmtune with your parameters. So put
an entry in your inittab to execute the vmtune command every IPL.

Regards,

Anderson

Re: Server media mount not possible

Does the backup complete after logging the ANS1312E error msg?

If so has the backup been tested by restore?

Any intermittent issues when backing up the Database?
